After quickly slaying some demonic beasts, Qin Xin searched for spiritual herbs in the surrounding area while speeding up his journey towards the center of the tomb.
Through his research, Qin Xin learned that the core of the Si Huo Elder's tomb was actually a palace.
The Old Man of the Fire of the Snake has placed all the wealth he has accumulated throughout his life in this palace. However, he has also set up many restrictions. If someone is not strong enough and tries to forcibly take the treasures inside, they will be in mortal danger.
As for the inner chamber of the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire, Qin Xin knew nothing about it. It was likely that only the families of Chiling City knew something about it, since they had always been located in the Chiling Peak mountain range. After the tombs were opened many times, these families often entered them and were very familiar with the contents of the tombs.
"roar!"
Just as Qin Xin finished collecting a spiritual herb, a tremendous roar of a beast reached his ears.
Because of his spiritual perception, Qin Xin's hearing was extremely sensitive, and he was momentarily shocked by the beast's roar, causing him to experience tinnitus.
"A level six demonic beast?"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from it, Qin Xin immediately assessed the strength of the demonic beast.
However, the aura was somewhat intermittent. Based on Qin Xin's guess, this level six demon beast must have been besieged and injured, which is why its aura was like this.
A level six demon beast is much stronger than a human cultivator at the Void Core Realm.
When at its peak, a level six demon beast can defeat the combined forces of several Void Core Realm martial artists, mainly because of the strength of its physical body; ordinary attacks cannot even break through its fur.
Moreover, compared to ordinary level 5 demonic beasts, level 6 demonic beasts have terrifying speed and strength, and some high-level level 6 demonic beasts are even able to possess intelligence.
The strongest martial artist who can enter the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire is only at the Void Core Realm. To be able to force a level 6 demon beast to this point, he must have used some kind of method.
After Qin Xin entered the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire, he was initially completely blinded and couldn't find the location of the palace at all.
Although it possesses spiritual awareness and can perceive its surroundings, the area here seems different from what is seen from the outside; it is simply too vast.
Qin Xin followed the roar of the level-six demonic beast and quickly moved towards the direction from which the sound came.
~~~~~~
"Senior Brother Nangong! It seems this demonic beast is about to die!"
At this moment, Hu Zhe looked at the increasingly weakened level six demon beast, a smile appearing on his lips, while his eyes looked behind the demon beast, revealing a hint of greed.
"Don't rush. Although this Shattered Gold Tiger is a level six low-level demon beast, it is currently at its peak. Its strength is comparable to that of a martial artist in the Solid Core Realm. If you are careless, you will suffer a lot."
The man known as Nangong slowly descended from the sky. The crimson glow emanating from his bandaged right arm gradually disappeared, but his eyes remained fixed on the Golden Tiger in front of him.
Under its attack, bright red blood kept seeping from the chest of the Broken Gold Tiger. Strangely, the beast itself had a powerful self-healing ability, but the wound showed no signs of healing.
Furthermore, some special power was attached to the wound, causing the aura of the Shattered Gold Tiger to weaken continuously.
After sensing the presence of these people, Qin Xin quickly concealed himself.
Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin discovered that the three members of the Xuantian Sword Sect and the three members of the Murong Clan from Chiling City, a group of six, were on guard and had surrounded the Broken Gold Tiger.
Qin Xin was initially puzzled; it seemed unlikely that the level-six demon beast, the Shattered Gold Tiger, could be injured by these few people.
Until they saw a tiger-headed cub peeking out from behind the Broken Gold Tiger, its big, watery eyes glaring angrily at the surrounding martial artists.
Because it knew that its mother had been injured by these people.
Sensing its mother's weakening breath, the chubby cub would occasionally let out mournful cries.
"Um?"
To Qin Xin's surprise, after each mournful cry of the Broken Gold Tiger cub, Qin Xin's Heavenly Phoenix Futon would ripple, as if it were acknowledging the little beast.
At the same time, the injured Broken Gold Tiger also seemed to have sensed the presence of the Heavenly Phoenix Futon.
A hint of blood appeared in his pair of dark pupils.
"roar!"
With a roar of fury that seemed to reach the heavens, the blood energy around the Shattered Gold Tiger surged instantly.
"Oh no! The Golden Tiger has gone berserk!"
Seeing this, the three disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect also hurriedly retreated.
Now that the Shattered Gold Tiger has entered a berserk state, it is burning all of its demonic beast essence blood. This is a desperate gamble, but once the essence blood is burned up, it will face the inevitable loss of its life after the essence blood is completely burned up. This process is irreversible.
The young man known as Senior Brother Nangong probably never expected that this Broken Gold Tiger would possess some intelligence.
Because when a demon beast is seriously injured, its first thought is to escape immediately, so they followed the Broken Gold Tiger and waited for it to die from blood loss so that they could easily obtain the beast's crystal.
However, some intelligent demonic beasts know the purpose of human martial artists, so they will burn their own essence and blood before they die, and the energy of their beast crystals will be released all at once. If an energy explosion occurs, it can even cause the martial artist to perish together.
The Xuantian Sword Sect and the Murong clan from Chiling City originally planned to go directly to the palace to search for treasures after entering the tomb space.
Unexpectedly, during their journey, the group discovered a level six demon beast giving birth. It is well known that the cubs of a level six demon beast are incredibly expensive. If they could be raised, they would be a great asset to martial artists in battle. Of course, many sects would also have these demon beasts guard their mountain gates.
After all, the lifespan of demonic beasts is far longer than that of humans. Over endless years, humans may perish because they cannot break through their shackles, but demonic beasts will not.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Broken Gold Tiger was giving birth, the group seized the opportunity to injure it.
After following it all the way, they arrived here. But just as they were waiting for the Golden Tiger to die on its own, it suddenly seemed to see something and began to go berserk. It seemed to be using its own life to carve out a final path to survival for its newborn child.
