As her vision opened, Lin Hao suddenly discovered that she and Chen Wu had quietly bypassed the lightning net area, entered the passage behind the stone hall, and continued to head straight into the depths of the tomb.
"Just five spiritual weapons. Compared to the treasures in the core chamber, they are simply not worth mentioning!"
Chen Wu looked back at the crazy scene outside and snorted in disdain.
Although he was also very jealous of those spiritual weapons, there were many warriors present, and the five forces of the Sky Eagle Martial Arts School were also among them.
By then, even if the lightning net is breached, a fierce battle will surely break out.
With the strength of him and Fang Xiaoke, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy to want to snatch a spiritual weapon from it.
Instead of that result, it would be better to take this opportunity to reach the core secret room first, then open the seal and get the treasure.
"Xiao Ke, now is the time to hurry and get to the secret room of the tomb as soon as possible."
As his mind changed, Chen Wu urged Fang Xiaoke, who was traveling with him, and the speed of their running suddenly increased a bit.
Seeing this scene, Lin Hao glanced at the five spiritual weapon light balls in the lightning net, and without much hesitation, he had already made a decision.
"Xiaobai, let's go."
After saying that, he moved, used the Dragon Step to quickly bypass the crowd, and ran directly to the passage behind.
In Lin Hao's opinion, the Dragon-Devouring Sword he possesses now is a top-level magical weapon. Although the five spiritual weapons in the thunder net are valuable, they are quite useless even if he manages to get them.
Therefore, this kind of temptation is not as strong as the mysterious treasure in the core secret room.
In this way, Lin Hao continued to follow Fang Xiaoke and Chen Wu secretly according to the previous plan.
As he moved forward, Lin Hao clearly noticed that the direction of the passage began to tilt downward, as if it led directly to deep underground.
About ten minutes later, the man and woman in Wolf Spider's sight finally stopped.
Because at this moment, there was a wall blocking the way in front of the two of them, which turned into a dead end.
The structure of the wall is somewhat strange.
Judging from its material, it should be made of some rare high-grade metal, pure gold all over.
Moreover, there are extremely mysterious runes engraved on it, which form a formation runes and emit a vague obscure energy fluctuation.
Compared to the stone door seal outside the ancient tomb, the level of defense here is undoubtedly more solid.
“Could this be the entrance to the tomb in the core area?”
Fang Xiaoke's eyes flickered as he looked at the metal wall in front of him, and said with a slightly delighted expression.
"are you sure?"
Chen Wu was slightly surprised and asked.
"Um."
Fang Xiaoke nodded and murmured, "I remember my grandfather once told me that if we want to enter the secret room of our Fang family's ancestor's tomb, we need to open a rune metal wall as a prerequisite."
"And the key is the blood essence of our Fang family's direct lineage."
“So I think this wall should be it.”
As he watched, Fang Xiaoke became more and more certain of his guess.
After all, this place is already a core area, but now it is a dead end, with no other passage leading to the secret room.
"How do I open it?"
Chen Wu suppressed his excitement and asked.
Fang Xiaoke stretched out her slender finger and pointed at the center of the rune formation on the wall.
There was a sunken area at the center of the formation, about half an inch square.
"If my guess is correct, this might be where the infiltration begins."
Hearing this, Chen Wu's eyes lit up and an expression of ecstasy that he couldn't hide appeared on his face.
"Let's try it without further ado."
Immediately, he couldn't help but urge.
As he spoke, he even took out a dagger.
That impatient look made Fang Xiaoke frown slightly.
Especially when Chen Wu took out the dagger, Fang Xiaoke didn't know why, but felt a vague sense of instinctive alertness.
"We are cousins. Brother Wu won't hurt me."
Fang Xiaoke took a deep breath, comforting herself while also dispelling her guard.
Immediately she took the dagger and lightly slashed her wrist.
After a while, scarlet blood slowly seeped out from the wound on the wrist.
Seeing this, Chen Wu's eyes darkened slightly.
It seems that this method of scratching is too light, and there is too little blood to start it. What should I do?
Because there is a clear difference between essence blood and ordinary blood.
Only those who practice martial arts can condense the body's essence and blood, which contains the warrior's longevity and cultivation, and is extremely precious.
This is also the reason why he personally went here to protect Fang Xiaoke along the way.
Then, Fang Xiaoke immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body, condensed the blood from the wound into a drop of thick blood essence, and floated up.
Although the drop of essence and blood was small, it was filled with a faint spiritual fluctuation, and even seemed to have vitality, slowly wriggling.
"It's just the last step."
Seeing the essence and blood condensing, the excitement and greed in Chen Wu's eyes became more and more intense.
If Fang Xiaoke wasn't still needed for the moment, he would have been unable to suppress his restraint and revealed his true face long ago.
Immediately, under Fang Xiaoke's control, the drop of red blood floated towards the depression of the array's eye on the wall.
As it penetrated in, the drop of essence and blood suddenly melted away.
Immediately afterwards, the runes around the center of the formation began to spread rapidly like scarlet blood threads as the blood spread.
In just a few breaths, the entire formation was covered.
Suddenly, the metal wall shook violently.
There was a loud bang, and the entire wall slowly rose from the ground.
“It’s open!”
Seeing this scene, Fang Xiaoke's pretty face suddenly broke into a smile of surprise.
Next to him, Chen Wu looked at the metal wall rising slowly in front of him, and a cold arc slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Wu, let's go in."
Fang Xiaoke was in a very good mood now and took the lead to walk forward.
However, after taking just two steps, she felt a pain in her chest and immediately looked down in horror.
But I saw a long sword piercing through the heart in my chest, and scarlet blood slowly flowed from the tip of the sword.
Behind him, Chen Wu sneered grimly, "My original plan was to get both the woman and the money, but it feels too much trouble. With the treasure, what kind of woman can't I get?"
"So, you are no longer useful and you can die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wu pulled out the sword in his hand.
Such force immediately made Fang Xiaoke fall backwards to the ground with a scream in pain, blood gushing out from his chest.
"Chen Wu, I curse... you to die a miserable death!"
Fang Xiaoke was shocked and angry. She stared at Chen Wu with resentment. After she said the last sentence, she died completely.
"People die for money, birds die for food, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too naive..."
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground with its eyes open, Chen Wu grinned grimly, his face full of viciousness.
However, before he could finish his words, a black light suddenly swept over and pierced directly through Chen Wu's neck and throat.
It was a black tail covered with scales, and its source was actually a wolf spider that had been attached to Chen Wu's back at some point.
The sudden attack made Chen Wu so frightened that before he could figure out what was going on, he suffocated and fell to the ground and died.
And in the passage at the back, steady footsteps were heard.
Soon after, two figures, one big and one small, came slowly towards them.
Those two figures were undoubtedly Lin Hao and Xiaobai!
Walking closer, Lin Hao looked at the two corpses on the ground indifferently, with a sneer on his lips.
This plan of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waited behind ended perfectly.
