Chapter 441 The Demon of the Western Regions (Part Two)
It has now been confirmed that the strange energy fluctuations are coming from the coffin in front of them. As the seventh team that came here to investigate, Fifth Spring Autumn and several ninth-level teammates decided to get closer to take a look.
Yan Luo didn't follow. He was only at the seventh level, and even if his reaction speed was fast, his acuity in many aspects was still far inferior to that of the ninth level. To put it bluntly, he didn't want to be a burden, lest he make a mistake and cause any problems.
Fifth Spring and Autumn and his companions cautiously approached, only to find that the bronze coffin was covered with strange runes.
Before becoming a ghost hunter, Wang Qing was a Taoist disciple. Looking at the runes on it, she guessed that they were some kind of sealing runes she had never seen before, meant to suppress the being inside the coffin.
After sharing her guess with everyone, Fifth Spring Autumn reached out and touched the cold coffin lid, but her gaze remained fixed on the brand-new cold sword on the coffin. The yellow talisman on the sword had become old, but the red runes on the talisman were as red as blood.
Yanlu frowned. From the moment her master and the others approached the bronze coffin, Yanlu noticed that they were all motionless, staring blankly at the coffin with empty eyes.
He tried shouting loudly to get their attention and wake them up, but they seemed not to hear him and remained unresponsive.
The people inside the coffin area showed no unusual behavior and cautiously began to examine it.
Jiangnan Yun glanced back at Yanluo without realizing it, only to find that the boy who had been standing there was gone.
"Yan Yan is missing."
The group looked around but couldn't find Yanluo. Jiangnan Yun wanted to look for Yanluo, but as soon as she stepped out of the area marked by the crimson patterns around the coffin, a chilling female laugh came from inside the bronze coffin.
The moment the laughter rang out, Yanluo's figure appeared in everyone's sight, and Yanluo also noticed that the others had moved and were all looking at her.
"Not good!!" Wang Qing instantly realized that this was a trap set by the coffin, using magic to create an illusion to achieve its purpose after meeting certain conditions.
The group instantly moved away from the area marked by the coffin's patterns and arrived beside Yan Luo. They saw that the bronze coffin began to seep out black liquid, which stained the crimson patterns, causing them to emit a dazzling red light.
The magic sword on the coffin emitted a series of extremely mournful sword cries, and the talismans on the sword moved without wind, from swaying slightly to fluttering violently. Within a few seconds, all the talismans spontaneously combusted.
The brand-new cold sword became old after the talisman spontaneously combusted, then quickly turned into a rotten, rusty iron sword, and finally slowly dissipated, leaving only the sword marks on the coffin lid as proof that it had given its all.
Everything returned to silence in an instant, as if nothing had happened.
The members of the seventh squad stared intently at the bronze coffin. Suddenly, the bronze coffin lid flew up with a bang and crashed straight towards Yan Luo. Da Gu blocked Yan Luo's path and chopped the coffin lid off with a knife, sending it crashing into the cave wall.
Yan Luo swallowed hard, staring nervously at the bronze coffin. The glaring red light on the patterns faded, and several purple flames flew out of the coffin, clinging to the surrounding cave walls and illuminating the entire end of the cave.
A pale, slender hand emerged from the coffin and rested on the coffin wall. The seven people were astonished when they saw the owner of the hand stand up from inside the coffin.
The creature that stood up was said to be human, but it did not look human. It was clearly a woman. She was naked, and her female characteristics were very obvious. She had a pair of small horns on her head, a long and thin tail at her tailbone, and a pair of huge black wings on her back.
All seven members of the Lone Beast Clan could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the woman. Her oppressive aura transformed into a black wave that spread like ripples, making Yan Luo feel a little apprehensive.
The woman's wings transformed into a black feather robe that covered her body. She had long, dark red hair that cascaded down her back and shoulders. The feather robe only covered her upper body, revealing her beautiful legs and delicate collarbones.
Her eyes were chilling, with vertical pupils, and she stared at the seven lone beasts with a cold, murderous gaze.
"Humans, I will make you suffer a terrible death." The woman's words were filled with extreme anger.
The woman raised her palm, and a mouth opened in the center of her hand. She inserted her hand into the mouth full of sharp teeth and pulled out a black sword. The sword was surrounded by a faint black mist, and a red, vertical-pupiled demonic eye opened from the hilt.
Without saying a word, the woman launched an attack on the seven people. Her first sword was blocked by Fifth Spring Autumn. Fifth Spring Autumn felt the woman's terrifying power and hurriedly shouted to the others, "Don't be careless, she is not simple."
The strongest member of the team, Fifth Spring Autumn, said this after only taking one sword strike. Everyone immediately got into position, took their weapons and formed a battle formation. Fifth Spring Autumn blocked the woman, and the woman jumped onto the coffin and stood holding her sword.
"Your strength as a human is not bad, but unfortunately, you are still too weak!" After the woman finished speaking, she suddenly attacked again, but was blocked by three sharp arrows from Jiangnan Yun. Fifth Spring Autumn merged into the group.
As long as the seven of them are together, there is no enemy they cannot defeat.
But this time, everyone underestimated the woman in front of them.
With a single sword strike, the woman deflected three arrows and her sharp eyes locked onto Jiang Nanyun, who was standing in the back row. Beside Jiang Nanyun stood Lin Qing, who held two short swords in her hands. She vanished from her spot and reappeared behind the woman the next second.
The woman's lips curled up as she said, "How naive!" and turned to swing her sword at Ringo. But Ringo turned into dust and scattered. The woman frowned, but before she could react, Yanluo and Dagu attacked. The woman couldn't dodge or avoid them and was slashed in the back by Yanluo and Dagu.
The sprayed blood splattered onto Yanluo and Dagu, leading them to believe that their attack had been effective.
Fifth Spring Autumn sensed something was wrong and was about to shout when Da Gu and Yan Luo retreated to avoid the woman's swift sword strike.
The woman's slashed back healed instantly. Ringo frowned. Was this some kind of mutated ghoul? Its healing speed was even faster than that of a ninth-tier ghoul king.
Even a ninth-tier corpse king couldn't heal instantly from the attacks of Yanluo and Dagu, but the woman in front of them did, leaving everyone in disbelief.
Fifth Spring Autumn looked solemn, rarely showing much emotion, it seemed that the woman in front of her was indeed putting her under great pressure.
Wang Qing held a round shield in one hand and a long sword in the other, guarding Jiang Nanyun and Jingxin.
Jingxin held a long staff in her hand, unlike Jiangnan Yun who wielded a bow and was capable of causing harm. Like Fan Qianning, she played the role of an array master as a trump card in the team. Her master was Fan Qianning's grandmother, Shangguan Wanying.
The woman stared intently at the seven lone beasts. Her vertical pupils no longer contained killing intent and anger, but also a strong fighting spirit. The lone beasts, with their excellent teamwork and top-notch strength, were worthy opponents for the woman.
