381: Chapter 381 [Omen of Great Disaster] Sixth Release!
The sixth watch!
“I think I understand now, the builder of the Ancient Tomb was incredibly ingenious.
They actually constructed the tomb at the bottom of a pool and even protected the entrance with Thousand Years Profound Ice!” Ye Chenfeng suddenly said.
The Thousand Years Profound Ice will not completely melt, and it is estimated that the entrance only allowed one person to pass through in the past.
After so many years, that’s why the entrance is like this now; it shows how formidable the Thousand Years Profound Ice is.
Everyone thought about it and nodded in agreement, as if it was true as Ye Chenfeng had said.
After walking for a while, they had left the space constructed of Profound Ice, and it felt as if they had entered a cave, with a downward sloping path ahead that extended out of sight.
“This corridor should lead to the Ancient Tomb!” Ye Chenfeng said.
“Huh?
Why is there a branching path now?” Suddenly, branching paths appeared in front of everyone.
“Everyone be careful!
Follow me!”
The Thief warned, his eyes sharp as torches, carefully leading the way with a compass in hand.
The others were also fully alert, silently assessing their surroundings.
Gradually, it became pitch black in front of them, and everyone simultaneously raised their flashlights, instantly illuminating the corridor.
An odor of decay wafted to their noses, and a chilling cold invaded their bodies.
“There’s something!” The Thief suddenly made a stopping gesture.
The beam of light aimed forward, revealing rows of intact skeletons on the ground, some human, some animal, no telling how long they had been dead.
“Whoosh!”
Perhaps due to someone’s presence, a gust of wind arose.
“Clatter clatter…”
A horrifying scene occurred, the skeletons crumbled at a touch, turning into fine dust that scattered all around.
The skeletons turned to dust, while the ground was left with numerous black bugs that quickly disappeared from sight.
“How terrifying!”
Ouyang Qingcheng and the others showed faces filled with fear.
“Let’s go!”
The Thief continued walking, but the compass in his hand jumped more violently, clanging continuously, and he frowned deeply.
Quiet!
Unusually quiet!
Everyone’s footsteps did not stop, continually moving forward.
Gradually, Ye Chenfeng felt something was not right; an Underworld-like aura faintly came from ahead, making one’s hair stand on end and scalp tingle.
“Something’s off!” Ye Chenfeng timely spoke his thoughts.
“Yes!
Why does it feel like we’ve entered a Qilin Tomb, so terrifying!” Li Yang echoed.
“No, it should not be a Qilin Tomb if you follow me!” The Thief shook his head.
“What is a Qilin Tomb?” Ouyang Qingcheng asked, voicing her confusion, which was also what Ye Chenfeng wanted to know.
Li Yang explained, “According to classical texts, it’s one of several extremely ominous places, like the God-binding Lock, Qilin Tomb, etc.
If you encounter such places, it is generally impossible to get out!
Although they are legends, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist!”
“The place of great misfortune does indeed exist!” the Thief corrected.
“Wuuu wuuu…”
Like the screech of malevolent spirits, shrill howling sounds emanated amidst gusts of cold wind, drenching many people’s backs with cold sweat.
There was also an invisible presence faintly approaching, making people shiver.
“Is this the aura of death?” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask.
The underground boxing ring where he had stayed before was just like a battlefield of Asura!
There, countless corpses were amassed, enveloping the air with a soaring aura of death and decay, similar to what he was sensing now, so he immediately noticed it.
“Have we reached the ancient tomb?” someone asked.
“Very likely!
Everyone, stay close!
Something unexpected might happen soon!” Ye Chenfeng also raised his alertness to the highest level.
At that moment, a mysterious force, imperceptible, quietly began drawing Ye Chenfeng and the others toward a certain place.
Gradually, they entered a field surrounded by hills, strewn with wolf pelts, bear skeletons, hunter’s rifles, and lonely graves on barren hills, all exuding a terrifying aura of death.
“Why do I feel like we’ve veered off course?” Bai Jie asked, puzzled.
It was initially a tunnel descending towards the mountain’s core, but as they walked, such a scene appeared, casting doubt in their minds.
“I feel it too, but what’s strange is that the direction of the ancient tomb’s aura hasn’t changed at all.
Although our forward direction is changing, the destination remains the same!”
Saying something shockingly unexpected, the Thief made everyone’s hearts tremble firmly.
“Is this an illusion?” Ye Chenfeng wondered aloud.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chenfeng suddenly said, “The magnetic field in this area is clearly abnormal, so we are all being involuntarily pulled along, and as we go deeper towards the center of the mountain, the magnetic anomalies increase.
Hence we are being drawn deeper into the mountain, not on the path we intended to take, but the ancient tomb is also deep within the magnetic field, which keeps our destination the same, so this sense of misdirection has occurred!”
“Right, follow me and continue!
The direction is correct!
But everyone should be careful!” The Thief still led the way at the forefront.
After walking for some more time, suddenly, a fierce yellow sandstorm arose!
The atmosphere turned cold and terrifyingly dreadful, the yellow storm being a bad omen!
In Hell, there are legends of the Underworld too.
Everyone was shocked!
Where had the Thief led them, and why was it so ominously dreadful?
“Boom boom boom!”
Just then, in a space shrouded with black fog, bursts of black lightning erupted, casting a gloom over everyone already fearful hearts.
“Everyone, look, what is that?” someone exclaimed, pointing towards somewhere.
Because of the black lightning in the sky, everyone followed the dark light to clearly see the situation on the ground, which were bodies in leather clothes.
But upon closer inspection, they realized they were just sinisterly white skeletons, with flesh clean off!
These people must have been tomb raiders who died here unexpectedly.
“Everyone, don’t panic!
Let’s go see what demons or ghosts are up ahead!” Ye Chenfeng’s mighty aura emerged strongly, deeply affecting everyone present; they all started exclaiming.
The yellow storm became more intense as they proceeded further, eventually blocking their line of sight!
“Open!”
Ye Chenfeng gathered the fearsome Gang Qi and blasted it out.
Instantly, the yellow sand in front of them was dispersed, and the view ahead slowly clarified…
A strange occurrence happened, a temple unexpectedly appeared in Ye Chenfeng’s view.
Not just Ye Chenfeng saw it, but others saw it too.
In that instant, everyone held their breath, hardly believing their eyes as the temple gradually became clearer, with many temple buildings and monks moving about within.
