CHAPTER XVI The Monster in the Grave
Oh right, this is for you, hurry up and refine in the thirty times time zone. It shouldn't be any ordinary treasure, use the 'Spirit Refinement Method' that I taught you. Just as Wang Jun was about to cultivate, Wang Hao called him to give the 'Heaven's Descent Ruler' that he got from the secret realm to Wang Jun.
One day later, Wang Hao left the Phoenix Ring to explore this so-called forbidden area. Just as he exited the phoenix ring, he felt a cold wind blowing towards him. Furthermore, he couldn't even see his own fingers inside the cave; it was dark and gloomy without a single glimmer of light. Wang Hao spread out his Spiritual Sense and observed the space in which he was standing. This place seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog all year round. Other than silence, there was also silence.
Wang Hao felt as if something tripped under his feet. Wang Hao took out 'Jiu Xiao', and with the help of the faint light from the Ninth Heaven, he was able to clearly see what was below his feet. It was a dried up bone, and the strange thing was that there were traces of some animal nibbling on the bone, and the rows of teeth marks were uneven.
Since there were animals present, the danger level was several times higher than before. Wang Hao didn't dare to be careless. He kept the Nine Clouds in his hand and kept his consciousness within a radius of fifty meters as he constantly scanned the area.
He didn't know how long Wang Hao walked in the darkness, nor did he know how many corpses and bones he encountered that had been eaten by unknown animals. Wang Hao didn't know how long he walked in the darkness, nor did he know how many corpses and bones he encountered that had been eaten by unknown animals.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, not far from where Wang Hao was, a palace with a radius of about 2 km appeared. The spirit stones embedded in the walls on both sides of the palace emitted a faint light, causing the surroundings of the palace to not be as dark as the outside.
Wang Hao vigilantly walked to the door and gently pushed it open. "Creak." The huge door gently opened on both sides. The grand hall appeared in front of Wang Hao. However, the scene in front of him made his soul jump out of his body.
There were many coffins neatly arranged in the middle of the hall. Strangely, each coffin seemed to have been deliberately opened by someone, and the lid of the coffins were irregular in shape. However, the largest sarcophagus was completely intact, as if it had existed for an eternity. At the same time, it was as if the one sleeping inside was a peerless evil being. No one was willing to touch that sarcophagus. Compared to the neatly arranged coffins, the scattered bones were the most terrifying. Suddenly, a few crunching sounds could be heard in the quiet hall, appearing so out of place in the quiet hall.
A strange animal was lying on top of a skeleton and gnawing on it. Seeing that someone was walking over, that strange animal mischievously looked at Wang Hao. Only at this time did Wang Hao clearly see the true appearance of that strange animal.
It was shaped like a dog, with a long neck, long hind legs, short forelimbs, short body, high shoulders, and low hips; the dorsal midline of the neck had long hyacinth; the teeth were large, thick conical premolars, the mouth was split, and the jaw was thick and strong. Its sharp teeth seemed to be able to bite through the hardest metal, roughly resembling a skinny wild dog.
It was obvious that they were afraid of people. When they saw Wang Hao, they slowly retreated. Not far behind them was a dark passageway.
"F * ck, boss, why do you still have such a hobby? Only run to that lifeless place." Just as Wang Hao was trying to guess what the animal in front of him was, Wang Lin suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
"Don't speak nonsense. You have come at the perfect time. What is this thing that looks so strange? Are you close relatives?" Wang Hao jokingly asked as he pointed at the strange animal in front of him.
"You are its close relative." Wang Lin glared at Wang Hao and continued, "It's called a ghoul, or a hyena. It's not exactly an animal, but a product of a person's accumulated hatred after death." After that, he plundered the tombs and ate the flesh of the corpses of the dead, so he became what he was now. This ghoul clearly had not been formed for long. Once it grew up and was told to leave, it would absorb the cultivator's anger, depression, sadness, pain and other negative emotions to grow up. At that time, it would become the nightmare of all cultivators. "Hurry up and kill him. This kind of thing that specializes in eating dead people is disgusting." After Wang Lin finished explaining, he pretended to be vomiting and said to Wang Hao.
Upon hearing Wang Lin say that he would kill him, a faint blue light appeared in his eyes. He stared at Wang Lin for a moment, then turned around and ran towards the dark passageway behind him. As he ran, he let out a sound that made one's teeth ache.
After hearing what Wang Lin said, how could Wang Hao let him escape? With a stride, Wang Hao arrived in front of the ghoul and chopped down its head with a sword. Wang Hao was still confused, this fellow was not as terrifying as Wang Lin had said, he killed it easily, but a strange scene had occurred. The head that was chopped off by Wang Hao instantly merged perfectly with its body, as if it had never fallen down.
"Idiot, that was formed from the condensed resentment. Physical attacks were ineffective. Watch me." With that said, Wang Lin spat out a dark purple flame that flew towards the ghoul.
Seeing the purplish black flames that Wang Lin spat out, the ghoul seemed to have seen something terrifying and let out an ear-piercing howl, filled with anger and unwillingness, it ran towards the passage behind at an even faster speed, but Wang Lin's flames were even faster, instantly enveloping the ghoul. A burst of hysteria, along with a sobbing sound, sounded out from within the flames, causing Wang Hao's scalp to go numb.
A moment later, the terrifying voice stopped. Wang Lin walked to Wang Hao's side, raised his head and said, "How is it? In the future, when you see this kind of undead or primordial spirit type life form, remember to use your True Fire or Spiritual Sense to attack. Only then will you be able to cause harm to it.
Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, black lines instantly appeared on Wang Hao's forehead. However, he still remembered Wang Lin's words.
Seeing that Wang Hao did not say anything, Wang Lin smiled complacently and said, "I feel that there is something good in the tunnel, so I will not fight with you for it this time. You must be careful, I will go to sleep." With that, he disappeared from Wang Hao's shoulder, leaving behind a stunned Wang Hao and countless coffins.
This time, it was Wang Hao's turn to be puzzled. That time, there wasn't a good item that he was fighting over. Why didn't he snatch it this time? Could it be that he had eaten his fill? Wang Hao did not think that he would have eaten his fill.
Wang Hao turned around and looked at the ground full of corpses. He walked towards the intact sarcophagus in the middle. This sarcophagus was no different from an ordinary sarcophagus, the only difference was that it had no gaps, as if it was one body, and it was emitting a huge pressure, the corpse must be some extraordinary figure of the True Sun Sect, thought Wang Hao. He didn't intend to disturb the peace of the dead, so he turned around and walked towards the passage.
He looked at the dark passage before him and listened to the sound of "Woo woo!" Wang Hao felt his body turn cold. For safety's sake, Wang Hao placed Shennong's Cauldron in front of him as he walked step by step towards the passage with Jiu Xiao in his hand.
