Chapter 244 (2/2)

‘I want to become stronger!’ It etched this thought deep inside its heart. It wanted to become a divine beast that can protect its master when the time comes instead of its master protecting it…

It hastened its steps and quickly went in front of Ning Xuemo. “Master, I will scout in front of you. My nose is very sensitive.” Its sense of smell was the best. If there was something dangerous ahead, it would be able to perceive it beforehand.

“Good. I’ll let you handle the scouting.” Ning Xuemo was straightforward when she agreed to it. She took it upon herself to temper the little qilin’s character.

At this moment, the little qilin seemed to have matured a bit. However, the truth is that it still felt afraid inside its heart, but being fearful won’t help solve anything. So, it had to control its fear!

This tunnel was a meandering and zigzagging path, constantly changing without any clear pattern, making their journey quite difficult. At least so far, they didn’t encounter any other dangers.

During their journey, they didn’t get attacked. It was a peaceful walk until they reached a dead end.

At the end of the tunnel, there stood a tall jade door.

The jade was in fact white onyx with a complicated design carved onto it. The material itself faintly radiated a light.

‘Don’t tell me this place is the tomb of some great and eminent personage?’

Ning Xuemo pondered as she observed the big door. She constantly felt that this door resembled those mausoleum entrances.

She tried to recall the information she had on the 8th mountain. Since she arrived on the 8th Mountain not long ago, she didn’t have the time to observe nor understand the environment inside the 8th Mountain. Her intuition faintly told her that this place was like the den of a sleeping dragon and was absolutely not a good place to stay.

Moreover, the 8th Mountain was known as a danger zone; discovering a tomb in this place is a certainly not a simple matter!

To be able to reach the 8th Mountain, the sculptor who engraved the tomb must have reached a profound level of his psychokinesis skills…

After further reflection, the probability that this place was actually a tomb was not very high. ‘Then, what is that door here for?’

“Master, do we knock on this stone door?”
