Chapter 76: Stuck in a dilemma (1/2)
The amount of treasures buried in ancient tomb was countless, was it possible to take them all?It would be a case of biting off more than you can chew, one should always only take what they need.
The bronze masked old man took out a piece of ancient paper.
“Take a look, this is a rough map of the ancient tomb, as long as we follow the marked route, we’ll be able to avoid most of the dangerous traps and won’t be lost.
“Then what are we waiting for?We don’t have much time, let’s go!”
The area of the thousand corpse ancient tomb was gigantic, there were over two hundred markings on the map, there were also many intricate secret passages marked, if they didn’t have this map, who knew how long it would have taken them!
The ancient grave would only be open for two days!
On the road they were taking, there were many Yin Corpses, all of them were black fur corpses, there was not a single white fur corpse.If it wasn’t for the ancient tomb’s suppressing effects, each one of these black fur corpses would all be formidable existences, if they wanted to break through this heavy barricade, then they would have been dreaming!
Ci, ci, ci, ci!
Yun Yao used the Thunder Spirit Bead to shoot out lightning and quickly took out three black corpses, Chu Tian didn’t hesitate to take the corpse cores out one by one.Right as he was about to place the corpse cores in his pocket, a streak of blood red sabre qi shot out right for his arm, Chu Tian quickly drew back his hand and the sabre qi slashed through the ground.
Too dangerous.
If he was slow by even a second he would have lost an arm.
Cai Die looked at Yang Zhan angrily and said, “You guys actually sneak attacked Chu Tian!”
Yang Zhen held his sabre as he coldly said, “You took something you shouldn’t have took, losing your hand is already the lightest punishment.”
“This little brat was trying to steal our loot.”
“Quickly take out the corpse cores!”
The Yang Zhan group came over and surrounded him.
Chu Tian faced the five of them, and casually said, “According to our previous agreement, everything that we harvest half would go to me and the other half would be yours.”
Yang Zhan flew into a rage, “Why the fuck would you get half!”
Chu Tian lightly said, “An agreement is an agreement, the bronze mask old man wouldn’t be breaking an agreement just for a few corpse cores would he?”
Each black corpse core could be traded for an Elixir!
How could Yang Zhan’s group not be angry?
They usually robbed people, overbearingly powerful, never losing, how could they let a little wet behind the ear brat take advantage of them?
The bronze masked old man revealed a pained look, but still he nodded his head, “Of course I won’t, you can take it.”
“Good old man, us brothers decided to help you and this is how you repay us?A little brat pretending to be strong, if there wasn’t a woman protecting you, Father would have cut you in half already!”
Yun Yao coldly looked at the five of them, in her heart she was calling them stupid.
Yang Zhan stared at the bronze masked old man and shouted, “You are a dignified Great Zhou Country Outer Sect Elder, not even daring to fart like this, aren’t you afraid of it hurting your prestige?”
“Shut up!”The bronze masked old man was expressionless as he said in a cold voice, “We already agreed on a price, as long as we leave the ancient tomb, I’ll give it to you.You won’t receive a single copper less than what we agreed on, for now what I make the decisions!”
The Yang Zhang brothers filled with hatred.
Their greed knew no bounds, a valuable corpse core like this, was taken away by Chu Tian like this, how could they not be jealous?
They really don’t know what kind of medicine the bronze masked old man had taken!
He would actually be this polite to this little brat!
Their group traversed across eight palaces, killing over 200 black coloured Yin Corpses.At this time, Flame Ghost ran in front of the bronze masked old man, “Elder, there is a cliff in front!”
The bronze masked old man raised his hand, “Everyone, let’s rest here for a bit!”
Chu Tian curiously asked, “Why are we stopping?”
The bronze masked old man had a serious face, “You’ll know once you see it.”
The gloomy darkness was filled with an aura of death, in the dense fog was a giant black wall stretched out in front of them, like an ancient beast had been sealed within, it released an immense constricting pressure on people.
This was a hundred meters high, ninety degree cliff.
In front of the cliff wall, there hung over a thousand ancient coffins!
Each one of these coffins were black, there was a web pattern engraved on each one, a scarlet light shone from them, just like a layer of blood thread was wrapped around it.What was strange was that even with this many coffins, there was some kind of mysterious strength that kept all of them floating.
These coffins had been suspended for tens of thousands of years, this kind of terrifying image, it had a very shocking effect, everyone that saw it would be deeply affected!
The bronze masked old man muttered, “This is one of the most dangerous places in the ancient tomb, the legendary ten thousand coffin cliff!”
The gloomy coffins, suspended in the cliff created a deep profound array, as if there was a strange law made them all move mutually, a thick aura of death surged from it, not to mention crossing it, just standing on the edge of the cliff was enough to make people uncomfortable.
Chu Tian said, “This is a giant trap array!”
“Good eye, this is called the Three Thousand Floating Coffins, it is a powerful and ancient array.”The bronze masked old man sucked in a deep breath, “It is incredibly dangerous, we have to be careful with each step, if we misstep even once, there is a chance we’ll awaken the slumbering Yin Corpses in the cliff!”
Yun Yao could feel it, the Yin Corpse sealed in the floating coffin were not a small matter, they were much stronger than the ordinary Yin Corpses wandering around.
Even through the thick coffin.
Even this far away.
Yun Yao could feel the pressure emitted from the coffin, it was the aura of an overwhelming expert, truly terrifying, truly suffocating.
Thousands of ancient coffins, each one sealing a terrifying existence.Throughout her whole life, this was the most spectacular scene that she had ever seen.
Yun Yao knit her brow and asked, “How do we cross over this?”
The bronze masked old man let out a sigh, “Until now, no one has ever passed this, so there is no path for us to take.We can only test our luck and pass through it step by step.”
“Try our luck?”
“Isn’t this a joke!”
“A place that no one has ever passed and you want us to attempt it?”
Everyone had a strange expression, especially the Yang Zhan brothers, they all felt as if they had been deceived.
Chu Tian carefully observed the floating coffin array, “We might not have to, from my observations, the three thousand floating coffins seem to follow the star chart of the moon, I want to find the hidden path in array.”
Everyone was shocked.
He could even see through this?”
The bronze masked old man asked, “Can you solve it?”
“I don’t think it’ll be hard.”Chu Tian paused before continuing, “But to understand the array, I need a bit of time.”
Yang Zhan mockingly said, “An array that an ancient sect poured all their energy into making, even the top array masters of Central State City wouldn’t dare say they could solve it, who you do think you are?Stop embarrassing yourself!”
The bronze masked old man angrily said, “Can you shut up!”
Yang Zhan’s face fell as he said, “Us brothers have already given you this much face, but you keep speaking up for this little brat, what do you think we five brothers are?”
