At this moment, the Taotie, who had just run away somewhere unknown, suddenly rushed out and headed straight for the tomb owner!
Wen Qi's pupils shrank, and he whispered, "Come back!"
But Taotie is a ferocious beast that will sacrifice its life for food, so how could it give up the delicious food that is about to be eaten just because of Wen Qi's words? Even if Wen Qi is its master.
The soul power of this tomb owner is not as pleasant as that of the master, but it also has its own flavor.
Fortunately, Taotie has no physical body, otherwise his drool would probably be all over the floor.
Just as it opened its mouth to bite, the tomb owner suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to grab its neck, and threw it away as if it were garbage.
At the same time, a majestic voice sounded: "Who dares to disturb my eternal sleep?"
After opening his eyes, the tomb owner finally looked like a corpse. The "qi" in his body was destroyed by the Taotie. Almost instantly, the moisture on his skin quickly drained away, and it became dry and wrinkled. The color changed from white to black, and his plump cheeks also sank. The eyes that had just opened shrank and disappeared, turning into two empty holes.
The tomb owner demonstrated the entire process of a living corpse transforming into a mummy at an extremely fast speed.
Mingren dealt with the last stone statue guard and said with a light breath, "How terrifying."
The tomb owner also noticed his change. He could not accept that his thousand-year plan had gone to waste in an instant, and he was furious! The tomb owner looked at Wen Qi and Ming Ren with his empty eyes, and his dry vocal cords vibrated, making a sound like gravel, "You, damn it!" He had lost his previous majesty, and instead exuded a sense of weirdness.
Taotie stood up again and looked at the mummy for a few seconds, then his eyes drooped. It was not as delicious as before.
The tomb owner stood up stiffly and flew directly towards Wen Qi from the coffin.
Wen Qi was not afraid at all, he swung the Bagua Mace and smashed it over.
Unexpectedly, when the Bagua mace hit the tomb owner's arm, a sound of metal collision was heard. It turned out that this mummy had bronze skin and iron bones!
The tomb owner growled, completely gave up on defense, and grabbed Wen Qi.
Wen Qi retreated while resisting. This kind of defense was really troublesome. Unless she could kill with one strike, the rebound force would break her arm. The best way was to keep a distance and use magic to attack from a distance.
"Mingren! Taotie! Tie him up!"
Mingren released five large paper figures in one breath, and his face instantly turned pale. He took a deep breath, and controlled the paper figures to rush towards the tomb owner together with the guard puppets.
After receiving the order, Taotie pounced directly on the tomb owner and bit the mummy's face like gnawing on a bone. After tasting it, he found it tasted good, so Taotie immediately worked harder.
Wen Qi took two steps back, put away the Bagua Mace, clasped his hands together and chanted a spell silently, and thunderclouds quickly gathered above the tomb.
The Thunder Curse is Wen Qi's favorite long-range attack spell, bar none, because thunder is extremely yang and can restrain all evil creatures. It also has enormous destructive power and can often achieve unexpected results.
This time, it's the same.
Thunders fell one after another, striking the tomb owner accurately. The tomb owner screamed, and white smoke came out from the places on his body that were hit by lightning.
Mingren's eyes flashed, and he controlled the guard puppet, stabbing and slashing at the place where the white smoke was coming out, with the main goal of killing you while you are weak.
Indeed, the defense of the place where the tomb owner was struck by lightning was much weaker, so it could be considered a breakthrough.
Taotie focused on biting that place, and after a few bites he actually tore off a bit of meat.
Hmm? Chewy! Delicious!
With the cooperation of Wen Qi, Mingren and Taotie, the tomb owner was found dead soon.
Wen Qi kicked the mummy into the coffin without stopping, and then closed the coffin and nailed it shut. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, as if he had practiced it countless times.
She breathed a sigh of relief only after all eight nails were nailed in place.
Taotie ran around the coffin twice, cried out twice with regret on his face, knowing that he would never be able to eat it again.
Wen Qi's face turned black. "You can't eat that. It will be poisonous!"
Taotie proudly stated that he was immune to all poisons and could eat anything in the world!
"It really doesn't look like an ancient ferocious beast at all." Mingren muttered.
Taotie heard it and bared his teeth at Mingren with a ferocious look on his face.
Mingren wasn't afraid of it, "I've already done it, why are you afraid of what others will say?"
"Don't argue yet." Wen Qi said in a deep voice, his face looking a little unhappy, "The yin energy has not weakened, the tomb owner is not the source."
After Mingren carefully felt it, his face turned ugly. He cursed, "How many dirty things are there in this tomb!"
Taking a deep breath, Wen Qi said, "Keep going. It will just take a little longer."
Mingren took back all the soul power of the paper man, and his pale face showed a hint of redness.
Wen Qi looked at Taotie, "Two people came in before, have you seen them?"
Taotie nodded, took a few steps forward, and motioned for them to follow it.
The two men and the beast ran rapidly in the tomb passage and came to the edge of a cliff.
Wen Qi lowered his eyes and took a look, his expression became more serious again.
No one knew what was buried under this cliff underground. The Yin energy was so thick that it was almost turning into substance, and it was very fierce. She just stood on the edge of the cliff, and the Yin energy kept struggling to attack her, as if it had its own consciousness.
What is down there? Mingren was also looking at the bottom of the cliff, with a look of fear in his eyes. "What the hell is this? This is what the hell in the underworld is like."
"You stay here, I'll go down and take a look." After Wen Qi said that, he jumped down with Taotie.
“Wen Qi!” Mingren subconsciously reached out to grab her, but was nearly dragged into the cliff by the condensed Yin Qi. He subconsciously took two steps back and fell to the ground, staring blankly at the place where Wen Qi disappeared. In the end, he could only weakly pound the ground with his fists and muttered, “Wen Qi…”
The moment Wen Qi jumped down, he immediately deployed his soul power to protect his body, and Taotie... this guy was not afraid of these Yin Qi at all. Not only was he like a fish in water, he even treated these Yin Qi as food and ate them happily.
Wen Qi smiled slightly, and his soul power rushed upwards, and his falling speed suddenly became faster.
Roughly estimating the depth to be less than a kilometer, Wen Qi successfully reached the bottom of the cliff. The Yin energy here was already so dense that it was sticky, sticking to each other and flowing in a sticky manner, which looked a bit disgusting.
The most important thing is that the vision is completely blocked. Except for the space of less than two square meters that is supported by the soul power, there is only darkness all around. Wen Qi can't even see the position of Taotie. He can only perceive it through the connection between the soul messenger and the master.
"Taotie, lead the way."
Taotie walked in front with its mouth wide open. It didn't even need to actively swallow the Yin Qi, the Yin Qi would flow into its mouth. It was so beautiful.
Soon, Wen Qi passed through a barrier and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
Red tiles and white walls, bluestone paved ground, towering ancient trees, and curling smoke.
Is this... a temple? The peaceful scene made Wen Qi frown, as if he had seen a fairy palace in hell.
There's something weird about it.
