Yue Jiuzai suddenly felt that Yue Jiunian was too mean, how could she have bullied someone like this?
Watching the crocodile-boar monster flee for its life, Yue Jiu Nian chuckled and said, "What the hell? I didn't hit it along the way. It was only at the beginning, when I climbed a tree and it knocked me down, that's when I hit it. Apart from that one time, I really haven't hit it."
"Tsk tsk~ Okay, right, they went in, and I'm wondering if I should follow them in. But these stone statues are alive; they come to life as soon as someone gets close. I don't want to make any big movements. What do you think I should do?"
Yue Jiuzai pointed at the stone statues and said to Yue Jiunian, who frowned and said, "Are they alive? Then let's just break in. At this point, what's the point of making a sound? Anyway, we've already found the tomb, and we don't need them anymore."
Hearing this, Yue Jiuzai understood. They had pretended for so long just so they could find the location of the tomb with Lao Hei and the others. Now that they had found it, there was no need to pretend anymore.
Having thought of this, Yue Jiuzai returned to his original form, then stepped over the stone table and entered the cave.
But as soon as she stepped into the cave, all the stone statues immediately came to life, shaking off the stone fragments from their bodies and surrounding Yue Jiuzai, just like before.
A demon who had spoken with Jiang Yan before stared with terrifying eyes and asked Yue Jiuzai, "Who are you, and why have you entered this place?!"
Another ferocious beast, who had also spoken to Jiang Yan, chimed in, saying, "No one but a descendant of the master may enter. You cannot go in!"
Hearing their words, Yue Jiuzai didn't take them seriously at all. She simply waved her hands and summoned a pair of short swords, then coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense. Today, I'm here to challenge the level. Come on!"
As she spoke, she immediately brandished her twin swords to attack the two monsters. Seeing that Yue Jiuzhai had already taken action, Yue Jiunian also jumped in and joined the fight.
When the evil spirits and ferocious beasts saw that someone was trying to break through the barrier, they all dutifully rushed over and fought against the intruder.
Although Yue Jiuzai and Yue Jiunian are old monsters, they are currently in human bodies with split souls, so they still have some difficulty fighting against those evil spirits and ferocious beasts.
The evil spirits and ferocious beasts were different; they used their own bodies, and there were many of them. So, Yue Jiu Nian and her companion were soon at a disadvantage.
However, just as they were about to be forced out of the cave, Yue Jiu Nian discovered a strange phenomenon: no matter how the evil spirits and ferocious beasts fought, they would not enter the tomb passage. Their activity range was limited to the space inside the cave, and they would not step into the tomb passage.
After discovering this phenomenon, Yue Jiunian wondered if they were not allowed to enter the tomb passage. Some tombs have rules, such as low-ranking or different tomb guardians not being allowed to enter the main tomb or other tomb chambers. Therefore, Yue Jiunian guessed that those evil ghosts and ferocious beasts might not be allowed to enter the tomb passage.
Thinking of this, Yue Jiunian tried to run towards the tomb passage. However, as she ran, the evil spirits and ferocious beasts would try their best to attack her. But while being surrounded, Yue Jiunian noticed that none of them actually entered the tomb passage. They all seemed to be carefully avoiding the tomb passage to prevent accidentally entering it.
Upon discovering this phenomenon, Yue Jiu Nian shouted to Yue Jiu Zai, "Jiu Zai, come quick! I've discovered a secret. They seem to be afraid to enter the tomb passage. As long as we enter the tomb passage, they definitely won't dare to follow us in!"
Yue Jiuzai was currently entangled with several evil spirits. Her current location was still a bit far from the direction of the tomb passage. However, after hearing Yue Jiunian's words, she immediately and quickly made a move to block the surrounding attackers. Then, she stomped her left foot on the ground and leaped into the air, running towards the direction of the tomb passage while stepping on the mountain wall.
After Yue Jiu Nian finished shouting, she ran towards the tomb passage with all her might, but she was still blocked by several evil ghosts and ferocious beasts.
When the evil spirits and ferocious beasts first started to stop Yue Jiu Nian and her companion, they were quite organized and confident. However, after hearing Yue Jiu Nian's loud shout, they began to panic.
