However, Yang Yitian was not comforted. He looked at the skeleton on the ground and asked, "Was this the original owner of the tomb?"
Qi Zhiheng glanced at the skeleton: "It shouldn't be. The master's remains shouldn't be placed at the entrance."
"Maybe he just sealed the hole and then he died," Yang Yitian speculated wildly.
Qi Zhiheng said, "Only you could come up with something like this." He looked at the ground, wondering what the original ceiling piece was made of. This material was indeed strange; it was very soft when it was first pierced, yet it could hold back the opponent's attack. He thought about it carefully and realized that if he had touched this thing with his hand, his hand might have been stuck to it. If he had pulled his hand away and the material had been pulled apart, those black bean worms would have splattered all over him immediately.
He glanced at the skeleton on the ground and couldn't help but shudder.
"Let's go up and take a look first," Qi Zhiheng said, looking at Yang Yitian. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
Yang Yitian pouted, his eyes full of resistance.
Qi Zhiheng said helplessly, "Then you wait here for me? I'll go upstairs and take a look first?"
Yang Yitian hesitated for a moment, then looked at the cave entrance before finally making a decision: "I'll go up with you. What if the cave entrance gets sealed off after you go up..." He kept his jinx to himself.
Qi Zhiheng laughed and said, "Silly girl, you can go into my space. You can come out when you get up there and there are no problems."
"Great idea!" Yang Yitian's eyes lit up, then he glanced at Qi Zhiheng: "You won't blame me for not sharing the good times and the bad, will you?"
"What nonsense are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Qi Zhiheng put the person into his spatial storage without saying a word.
For double insurance, Qi Zhiheng first took out a defensive magic artifact, and then covered his entire body with spiritual energy.
At this moment, he also regretted not acquiring more spiritual artifacts while at the academy. Now, all he had were the magical artifacts he brought from the Xuanling Continent. The difference between magical artifacts and spiritual artifacts was significant, and almost no one in the cultivation world knew how to use magical artifacts anymore.
The opening above was covered by a thin black film, making it impossible to see what was inside. It was as if there was a pool of black water above. If those black bean worms hadn't fallen down, he really wouldn't have been sure if there was a path above.
Qi Zhiheng controlled the levitation talisman and headed towards the exit.
He first felt a squeezing sensation, then the spiritual light of the defensive artifact quickly dimmed, and the "black water" enveloped him completely, flowing from one end to the other.
He quickly discovered the reason why the magic artifact dimmed so rapidly: the black bean worms had attached themselves to the defensive barrier and were consuming the spiritual energy within it. As a result, the magic artifact in Qi Zhiheng's hand quickly became useless, and the worms simply lay on his spiritual energy layer.
Qi Zhiheng unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, shaking the insects to their feet, while he himself floated in mid-air.
The situation before us is equally chilling.
This should be a room, possibly a large warehouse. Qi Zhiheng could still see rows of shelves with some things on them, such as pottery jars and fragments of other items, but they were badly damaged. However, these were not the main points. What horrified Qi Zhiheng the most was that the room had been completely turned into a nest of black bean worms. There might have been some rare treasures stored here before, but now they had all been destroyed.
Did the owner of this place use these black bean worms to guard the grave? But they've all been eaten...
This makes one wonder why he died in vain. And what about that skeleton below? How did such a skeleton appear?
He carefully examined the room. Besides the shelves, there were some large boxes. Of the treasures that had been placed outside, the only things that remained besides these large boxes were probably the stone shelves and the earthenware.
Thinking about how his magical artifact had been devoured into dust so quickly, Qi Zhiheng guessed that these insects probably fed on spiritual energy, and once they were attached to it, it was not easy for them to escape. He was once again relieved that these insects could not fly.
He floated towards the door, where even the door was crawling with many black bean worms. Opening the door like this would inevitably let these black bean worms escape, and there was also the possibility that these black bean worms might be found outside besides here.
Thinking of this, he paused, his outstretched hand froze. He should make thorough preparations before venturing out; at least he needed to figure out what those black bean worms outside were and what their weaknesses were.
Qi Zhiheng returned to the space, and Yang Yitian asked, "How did you get in?"
"There are too many insects outside. I need to think of a way to find out what these insects are first," Qi Zhiheng thought to himself, hoping to find some weaknesses.
Just as he was about to look up some information, the Moon Beast revealed itself.
"Senior Moon Goddess." Upon seeing the Moon Beast, Qi Zhiheng had another idea in mind. Instead of searching through the information, he decided to ask the Moon Beast first.
At that moment, a burst of snickering laughter rang out.
Qi Zhiheng was taken aback. He had never heard this voice before. How could it appear out of nowhere in his space? This made Qi Zhiheng wary.
The moon beast's expression turned sour at this point.
"He's nothing more than a servant, yet he dares to call himself the Moon Goddess." A man appeared out of nowhere, instantly standing not far from the Moon Beast.
The man was dressed in red, with slanted eyebrows and bright red eyes that were deep and aggressive. His long red hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his aura was arrogant and unrestrained. He was as dazzling as the sun, making people afraid to look directly at him.
This is a person completely different from the aloofness of the Moon Beast.
"It is because of the glory of my Sun Beast that the Moon Beast exists. The Moon Beast should be our servant." The man's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
Qi Zhiheng had a vague idea of this person's identity. He looked at the moon beast, and sure enough, the man's face had become somewhat ferocious.
The Moon Beast had completely lost its former arrogance, pointing at the man in red and cursing, "Yang Zhen! Don't push your luck!"
Yang Zhen didn't take his words to heart. He glanced at the Moon Beast and said calmly, "What did I say wrong? Your Moon Beast clan is nothing more than servants who depend on the Sun Beast."
Qi Zhiheng was caught in the middle, unaware of the truth.
The moon beast exuded an aura that caused the vegetation to sway. Its aura was so powerful that it could suppress Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian. At this moment, Qi Zhiheng pulled Yang Yitian back, and the two of them barely managed to steady themselves.
Qi Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat. Was the moon beast planning to destroy his entire small world? Looking at the spirit herbs swaying back and forth because of this aura, Qi Zhiheng felt extremely distressed. These were all plants he had painstakingly cultivated!
Only now did he directly perceive the strength of the Moon Beast. In the past, the Moon Beast had never been involved in any battles and had never revealed any of its abilities. Now, with the aura emanating from the Moon Beast, Qi Zhiheng felt that it was no weaker than the Sect Master of the Slaughtering God Sect!
Under the pressure of this aura, the Sun Beast did not make any obvious moves. Instead, it sneered and unleashed an even more powerful aura, forcing Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian to take a few steps back.
Qi Zhiheng was anxious. Could these two big shots really be going to fight in his own space?
Both the Moon Beast and the Sun Beast are indispensable. With the Sun and Moon, the laws of his space have become more perfect. For the sake of his spiritual herbs, he doesn't want to lose either of them!
Qi Zhiheng was deeply conflicted!
However, before he could dwell on it for long, the battle on the other side had already ended.
Clearly, the Sun Beast was more skilled. This was only because Qi Zhiheng was being lenient. To be honest, in Qi Zhiheng's opinion, the battle that ended so quickly was a complete crushing defeat!
The Moon Beast was completely powerless against the Sun Beast.
At this moment, the moon beast was filled with anger and resentment, but it was completely suppressed by the moon beast.
Qi Zhiheng had considered helping, of course he was more familiar with the Moon Beast emotionally, and they had no real connection. But! He couldn't beat it! Forget about whether he could win or not, he couldn't even withstand a single finger from the Sun Beast! Even in his own space, it wouldn't work!
Qi Zhiheng closed his eyes with reluctance, silently mourning in his heart: Lord Moon Beast, I really can't help you, I can only mourn for you.
The moon beast was unable to move, but the sun beast calmly took a step and walked towards the moon beast step by step.
Yang Zhen reached out and placed his hand on the Moon Beast's head. Qi Zhiheng was afraid he would kill the Sun Beast! He quickly stopped him, saying, "Lord Sun God! Please wait!"
Yang Zhen turned his head and looked at the owner of this space.
Qi Zhiheng forced himself to say, "Lord Sun God, please show mercy. My little world cannot do without Senior Moon God."
Yang Zhen scoffed, "What? You think I'm going to kill him? Don't worry, I won't kill him. Killing him would make the rules of this world incomplete, and it wouldn't benefit me either."
Qi Zhiheng finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He really couldn't afford to offend either of these two powerful figures.
"Then... Brother, let's discuss this? Can we just let this matter go?" Qi Zhiheng felt that Yang Zhen wasn't entirely unreasonable; there was always room for negotiation.
Yangzhen had already grabbed the Moon Beast's hair, pulling its head back. Its entire face was exposed, and Yangzhen reached out and stroked the Moon Beast's face.
Qi Zhiheng: "..." Why does this atmosphere feel a little strange?
Yang Yitian: "..." What's with this gay vibe?
At this moment, the Sun Beast spoke up: "If you are a servant, you should do your duty as a servant. Who are you trying to impress with this haughty face? No wonder the clan's tradition says that the Moon Beast clan are all self-righteous bitches."
The moon beast had a fierce look on its face. It swore that if it could speak now, it would curse him out loud!
