There was no light inside the tomb; the only light came from the eerie glow emanating from the protective energy surrounding everyone.
Under this light, everyone could clearly perceive that there was indeed a seventh shadow on the ground.
The seventh shadow stood with them, though it appeared slightly distorted.
A chill ran down everyone's spine.
Despite their strength, they couldn't sense anything amiss. What exactly is this thing?
A bolt of lightning flashed from Du Xiaoqiang's hand and struck the shadow directly, but it did not cause any damage to the shadow.
The shadow moved swiftly towards the front of the tomb chamber.
The group immediately chased after them, and at the end of the entire tomb passage was a dark cave.
Just as everyone was about to stop and examine the cave more closely, Wei Xingyuan suddenly shouted, "Something's wrong! That cave is alive!"
Everyone was stunned. Only then did they see that the dark thing was slowly wriggling. Occasionally, some dark shadows would spill out from the edges, and they could make out the vague outlines of limbs such as hands, feet, and a head.
This dark cave was actually composed of countless human figures!
The next moment, countless figures emerged from the dark cave, almost instantly enveloping them all!
Suddenly, everyone let out a muffled groan. The shadows reached out and pulled at them, and everyone felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.
Divine light shone from everyone's bodies, and various divine powers poured out wildly, blasting the entire tomb chamber beyond recognition, but to no avail!
These shadows are incredibly strange, they have no physical form, so how could a shadow be destroyed?
Kang Jinlong and Xu Shichang quickly said, "Who knows any supernatural powers related to the soul? If these things can affect the soul, then the power of the soul can definitely cause them harm!"
Wei Xingyuan said anxiously, "I never expected there would be such a strange thing here!"
I specifically invited you and Lei Gong here this time, because both of your divine powers are quite effective against ghosts and spirits, but I didn't expect this situation!
Wei Xingyuan's considerations were actually quite comprehensive.
He had only planned to find four people.
Kang Jinlong (Xu Shichang) and Lei Gong (Du Xiaoqiang) all possessed divine powers that were quite effective against evil spirits and ghosts.
Weaver Girl Jelly and Wandering Spirit Officer are combat-oriented, responsible for dealing with physical threats.
The addition of Yang Cheng, who possesses strong overall abilities, was an unexpected bonus, providing an extra layer of insurance.
However, he did not prepare a reincarnator who was skilled in the power of the soul.
Just then, Yang Cheng's eyes flashed with divine light, and his soul-capturing power erupted. Wherever the divine light passed, those black figures were all annihilated.
"Charge! The passage behind us is blocked by countless shadows. The only way out is to charge through!"
Yang Cheng shouted and led the way into the passage that had been shattered by the Soul-Seizing Blast.
Using the threat of the soul-capturing power, the group charged forward and entered the cave formed by the boundless black shadows.
As soon as Yang Cheng landed, he was immediately hit by a stench.
Wei Xingyuan and the others also emerged from there one after another.
The dark figures behind them blocked the cave entrance and didn't move, but they were all frantically crowding inside the cave.
Yang Cheng suddenly had a feeling.
Those dark figures weren't deliberately blocking the way; they were simply afraid and wanted to escape, but they couldn't get out of the tomb.
"Just how many people did King Youli kill?"
Du Xiaoqiang stared at everything before him in disbelief.
What appeared before Yang Cheng and the others was a huge circular pool of blood, a thousand feet in size.
The blood pool contained a thick layer of congealed blood plasma, which had rotted and molded, turning into a mud-like substance.
Just by looking at it, they could imagine how magnificent this pool of blood must have been in the past.
It would take the blood of at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people to fill that space.
But the question is, how big was the ancient You Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period? Did he really kill everyone in the entire ancient kingdom for this blood pool?
"There are only these pools of blood here, where are the corpses?"
"The corpse must have been swallowed up by some unimaginable being."
Yang Cheng pointed to the murals around him and said, "These should be the scenes from when King Youli built the Blood Pool to sacrifice to a certain evil god."
Then everyone looked at the murals around them.
The murals clearly depict how the former King Youli forcibly captured these people and then pushed them into the pool of blood.
Above the blood pool was a distorted beam of light, the nature of which was completely obscured.
Drawn by the force, the bodies of the people in the blood pool twisted and contorted, blood gushing from their bodies and falling into the pool.
The withered, twisted body was drawn into the ball of light by the force, and then a dark shadow was expelled from its body.
Only then did everyone realize that those black figures were actually the shadows of the You Kingdom people who had been sacrificed here in the past!
This ray of light was incredibly strange; it didn't devour blood, nor did it need shadows, only their withered flesh.
You Yiling, the official, frowned and said, "Wei Xingyuan, this place is not an ordinary ancient tomb with supernatural abilities at all!"
Before I came here, I thought it was just about killing some zombies and vengeful spirits, but look what this place is like now?
This involves the worship of an ancient evil god!
You should know what kind of world involves ancient evil god priests; every single one is incredibly dangerous!
Si Tiancheng simply felt he had been taken advantage of.
