Chapter 020 What an Illusion

Snap——

The mechanism was found, and the stone door of the tomb was opened with a dull sound.

Zhang Qiling looked at Sang Mo, hesitant to speak. He wanted to say something but the opportunity to speak was gone. He just felt more helpless.

Hei Xia Zi stared at Sang Mo with a mysterious look in his eyes. If this was Sang Mo's tactic, it was obviously very successful.

It really was just like what he said about the mute, no matter how careful you are, you can't guard against Sang Mo!

Sang Mo stood up, ignoring the weight on his back that only he could feel, and walked slowly to the stone gate with a dejected look on his face, scanning the dark tomb with his listless eyes.

The space inside seemed to be large and well-ventilated, with no musty smell, indicating that the moisture-proofing and ventilation were very well done. There were fire pits around it, and there seemed to be eternal lamps on the wall, but the eternal lamps were off as if they had never been lit.

The tomb chamber appears very empty, with only a bronze coffin in the center and six huge stone pillars on each side. These twelve relief stone pillars look like loyal soldiers lined up, giving a solemn and heavy feeling.

[It is indeed a forbidden area.] 】

[Tongzi, I have actually always been curious about the purpose of such a forbidden area. 】

[If the host is curious, you can explore as much as you want. Anyway, you can do whatever you want. Tongzi can't control you. 】

Tongzi was also very tired. It was indeed his fate to meet a host like Sang Mo. The two of them tortured each other for six unforgettable lives.

For Sang Mo, its punishment is of no use at all. Of course, these punishments were indeed useful in the previous few times, and they can be regarded as a means for it to unilaterally check and balance and spur Sang Mo.

However, the next two times, including the last one, it was Sang Mo who initiated the unilateral torture on it.

What can Tongzi do? It's probably a bit rotten.

【drop! It is detected that the host and the target character enter an underground cemetery outside the plot together, triggering the task: Please have physical contact with Zhang Qiling five times and hug him once before leaving the cemetery. Complete the task to receive the reward of Qi and Qi cultivation method.

The penalty for mission failure is ten times the pain, and the time limit is one month. 】

Sang Mo rolled his eyes and ignored the words.

This kind of task is not uncommon. Having seen similar tasks before, Sang Mo is too lazy to complain.

I just wonder if there will be strong negative effects if the evil spirit absorbs too much of his energy with the pain being ten times greater?

Sang Mo rubbed his hands expectantly and whispered, "You're not full yet, are you? Do you want to have some more?"

'Master, I'm really not full yet, can I really suck a little more? '

"I've already told you it doesn't matter, just keep smoking."

'Thank you, Master! '

The evil spirit's voice was less fearful and more sincere. It turned out that only by choosing to live with such a strong person could it achieve harmony. It secretly restrained its pressure again, trying to give its master a pleasant adventure experience.

The Qilin blood essence in the master's body is so delicious!

If it could continue to absorb energy like this, it would soon become stronger and even evolve!

Sang Mo's expression became visibly more depressed, but he didn't care. Seeing that the system did not detect any malicious suicide after being possessed by the evil spirit, it proved that this method was feasible.

For Sang Mo, the only benefit brought by the fusion of the strange way is that he can see and communicate with evil spirits and ghosts.

Of course, the power of Guidao is definitely far more than this, but Sang Mo has no intention of thinking about anything else.

Zhang Qiling sighed silently in his heart and took the initiative to grab Sang Mo's wrist, "Don't run around."

Sang Mo had a gloomy face, but still replied with an "Oh" to give face to his elder.

[Ding, physical contact once.] 】

[Be quiet, don't remind me of such unimportant things, it's very noisy. 】

【......】

But giving face is one thing, and listening to advice is another. Sang Mo is definitely not a person who listens to advice. Shortly after Zhang Qiling let go of his wrist, he took advantage of Zhang Qiling observing the tomb and wandered to the relief stone pillar.

The reliefs carved on the stone pillars are indeed statues of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, each of which is engraved with an ancestor witch. It looks like the existence related to the Twelve Ancestral Witches is buried here.

[The stone pillars in the main tomb chamber at the Dead Man's Valley are Xiangliu and Fuyou. According to the legends of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, these two powerful beings should be the generals under Gonggong. 】

[But there is no clue related to Gonggong, but all clues point to Qiangliang. Xiangliu and Fuyou are guarding Qiangliang, so which ancestor witch is this place related to? 】

Zhang Qiling's eyebrows moved slightly. The information revealed by these two sentences was too dense and too heavy. He looked at Hei Xia Zi, and the latter was looking at him at the same time.

The two people's eyes met in the darkness. Although they couldn't see the thoughts in each other's eyes, they both had the same solemnity.

Hei Xia Zi wandered over to Sang Mo and asked casually, "Did you see anything?"

Sang Mo still had that sad face, but he looked more listless than before, as if he had been half-drained by some monster.

Seeing him like this, Hei Xia Zi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. This was the state of having his essence sucked away by evil spirits.

Sang Mo yawned, "No, I'm not a tomb robber. Maybe these two deformed fingers gave you an illusion?"

The black bear seemed to be smiling, what an illusion!

So both humans and ghosts are fooling people, right?

"Zhang Qiling treats me as a descendant of the Zhang family. Do you think so too?" After saying this, Sang Mo dodged and went around to the other side of the stone pillar.

[All the mechanisms in the tomb have been triggered and most of them have become inoperable. It seems that more than just Wu Sanxing has been here. 】

[It's really interesting. There is a newest footprint on the ground. Judging from the size, it should be a young man with similar height and weight to me. It's interesting that there is actually a lone ranger who came in here first. 】

Who could it be? 】

Sang Mo followed the footsteps and soon came to the bronze coffin. The footprints stayed here for a while and even walked around the bronze coffin.

Sang Mo followed the footprints and walked back to the bronze coffin. Looking at the bronze coffin from this angle, he found that his sight was just at the head of the coffin. He saw the only eyeball on the relief on the bronze coffin lid.

The eyeball was hollow and grayish white, with no pupil, as if the eyeball could absorb some liquid and then open the coffin lid.

[The mechanism was cleverly designed. It was obvious that the man had drained the blood and opened the coffin. Was he someone who was related to or connected with the tomb owner? 】

[Ordinary people's blood is ineffective, even Qilin's blood is ineffective. 】

This was something Sang Mo had personally tested, and the tomb chamber in the Dead Man's Ditch was in the same situation.

'Master, a stranger has come. He is hiding in the darkness and is observing your every move. '

"Oh?" Sang Mo raised his eyebrows, "You want to treat me as prey?"

'There's something strange about his aura, as if he could defeat me? '

Sang Mo pinched his chin and said three words, "Ghost catcher?"

These three words seemed to be spoken deliberately for the people in the darkness to hear. As soon as the words fell, the person lurking in the darkness deliberately threw a stone. The sound of the stone rolling down seemed particularly strange in this quiet tomb.

"Who is it!" Wei Song looked in that direction with a torch in his hand. Someone took out a miner's lamp and shone it in that direction.

A young man wearing a black hood, black pants and pigtails stood there with a slight smile. He raised his hand to block the light from the mining lamp and said, "Don't hurt anyone by mistake. Let's go together. I just got here before you."

[Ha, no matter how you look at this outfit, it looks like Zhang Qiling? 】
