Chapter 408 The Strongest Artifact

Holding Xiaoxue's slender body in my arms, looking at her beautiful and pure face, her exquisite makeup adds more tenderness and sexiness of a young woman.

She had a bright smile on her face and her eyes sparkled with a clear light, as if her mood was as bright and full of energy as her body.

"Did you have fun?" Gao Dongxu smiled and kissed her pink lips, then held her and went upstairs.

"Hmm~~~" Xiaoxue's pretty face flushed, and she hugged Gao Dongxu's neck coquettishly. Her breathing became hot. She knew that the next moment would be the happiest and most joyful time.

Watching the two of them go upstairs, Gu Shengnan's pretty face blushed and she spat lightly, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She couldn't help but think of the scene where she was bullied by Gao Dongxu.

The fragrance is everywhere, as if she is a blooming sunflower, facing the sun and blooming the most beautiful smile.

As if after baptism and transformation, her beauty becomes more and more unique and difficult to replicate.

Every blink of her eyes and every movement of hers seemed so natural and vivid.

"...If I don't wake up on my own later, remember, don't force me to wake up..."

"Is it dangerous?"

Xiaoxue, who had a smile on her lips, a face full of sweat, and a sweet smile of happiness, and was nestled in Gao Dongxu's arms like a lazy kitten, immediately became nervous when she heard it. Her pretty red face was full of worry. She looked at Gao Dongxu with wide-open eyes and asked in a trembling voice.

"There's no danger. Don't worry. I wouldn't joke with my life. You're my woman, a woman I can trust completely. That's why I'm letting you protect me. Remember, no matter what expression or movement I make, don't worry or be afraid. I'm definitely fine. I'll wake up on my own. It might just take a while, so don't let anyone disturb me. Can you do that?"

Gao Dongxu gently stroked Xiaoxue's silky smooth back while giving her serious instructions.

Xiaoxue looked at Gao Dongxu with a firm gaze, a little nervous and curious, and nodded.

"Don't be nervous or afraid. Your man is indeed not an ordinary person. I have some special abilities. I will tell you in detail later." Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he looked at Xiaoxue, whose beautiful eyes did not blink, and who was nervous and curious.

Xiaoxue's beautiful eyes became brighter, her heart beat faster, and she became more and more obsessed with Gao Dongxu's strength and mystery.

Gao Dongxu smiled at Xiaoxue, whose eyes were full of stars, reached out to take the wooden box on the bedside table, opened it, and took out the ghost seal that emitted a faint emerald green light.

Xiaoxue opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, staring at the mysterious jade seal without blinking, and almost forgot to breathe.

Gao Dongxu also looked at the ghost seal in his hand with greed and obsession.

The Ghost Seal is definitely a magical artifact in the Tomb Raiders Chronicles. It can control the ghost soldiers. At the same time, it is also the key to enter the bronze door!
Moreover, in the original work, there are a total of two ghost seals.

Gao Dongxu naturally knew that they all came from the Queen Mother of the West, and one of the ghost seals was given by the Queen Mother of the West to King Mu of Zhou.

The remaining one was always in the hands of Queen Mother of the West, and was finally passed on to the Zhang family, asking them to guard the bronze door.

The first time Brother Zhang Qiling entered the bronze gate, he used this ghost seal passed down from the Zhang family.

As for the ghost seal in Gao Dongxu's hand, it was the one that belonged to King Mu of Zhou. It was later obtained by King Shang of Lu, and then replaced by Wang Canghai for a snake-browed bronze fish.

In other words, the ghost seal in Gao Dongxu's hand was actually thrown out by the Wang family intentionally as a bait.

"Remember what I said, don't touch me, don't wake me up, no matter what you see, understand?" Gao Dongxu finally looked at Xiaoxue who was a little nervous and completely ignored the quilt slipping off beside him and gave her a warning.

"Yeah!" Xiaoxue nodded nervously with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry--"

Gao Dongxu smiled slightly, then took a deep breath, held his breath, and slowly closed his eyes. While absorbing the spiritual energy from the jade thumb ring, he slowly injected the spiritual energy in his body into the Ghost Seal.

However, the moment his spiritual energy touched the Ghost Seal, a massive suction force erupted, as if an invisible hand had firmly grasped the source of his spiritual power. His spiritual power, like a flood bursting through a dam, madly poured into the Ghost Seal, completely uncontrollable.

Gao Dongxu felt his head spin, his consciousness drawn into an invisible vortex. Pulled by an irresistible force, he fell into an unknown space.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a world of white. There was no sky, no ground, no direction, and even no sense of the passage of time. All around him was nothingness, only silence and whiteness filled his senses. However, this silence did not last long.

Suddenly, pairs of eyes, blazing green, lit up in the void, like will-o'-the-wisp fires suddenly ignited in the darkness, dense and boundless. Those eyes were cold and deep, as if they could penetrate the soul, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression. Gao Dongxu suppressed his shock and peered closely. As his vision gradually cleared, he realized that the owners of those eyes were a massive phalanx of ancient soldiers. The soldiers were tall, but their clothes were ragged, their armor tattered, as if they had just emerged from a brutal battle. Their skin was gray and shriveled, like dead wood dried by the winds of time. Only the weapons in their hands gleamed coldly, sharp as new, exuding a murderous aura.

The soldiers' battle flags fluttered silently in the void. They were already tattered, only a few wisps of cloth trembling faintly in the pale world. The patterns on the flags were blurred, but faintly discernible were some ancient runes or totems, as if telling of the army's former glory and splendor.

At the forefront of the phalanx, three warriors, mounted on towering horses, stood out. They wore heavy armor carved with ferocious animal faces, and wielded long spears that shone with a chilling cold. Most frightening of all were their faces—bronze ghost masks covered their faces, revealing only a pair of eyes blazing with green flames. The flames were cold and eerie, as if they could devour all life.

Three generals stood silently at the front of the phalanx, like three immovable mountains. Their mounts were also clad in heavy armor, their eyes ablaze with green flames, appearing strange and eerie.

The entire phalanx was solemn and silent, without a sound, but it gave people an invisible sense of oppression, as if this army would wake up from its slumber at any time and erupt with devastating power.

Gao Dongxu drifted through this strange space, his heart pounding with shock. He roughly estimated the army to be at least tens of thousands strong. They were arrayed in neat formations, their imposing presence akin to a legion of the undead that had emerged from hell. Though their bodies had decayed, the murderous aura they emanated remained undiminished, even more terrifying than that of the living.

Gao Dongxu tried to move his body, but found that his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move. And those green flame eyes were always staring at him, as if waiting for his next move.

Gao Dongxu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the scene before him was no illusion, but the power of the Ghost Seal that brought him into this mysterious space.

The Ghost Seal controls the ghost soldiers!

"... Is this the true power of the Ghost Seal?" Gao Dongxu pondered. He tried to mobilize his spiritual energy, but found that most of it had been absorbed by the Ghost Seal. The remaining weak spiritual energy seemed unable to allow him to take further action.

At that moment, the three mounted generals suddenly moved. Their movements were slow and heavy, as if restrained by some invisible force. One of them slowly raised his long spear and pointed it at Gao Dongxu. Following his movement, the soldiers in the entire phalanx raised their heads in unison, their gazes piercing Gao Dongxu like knives.

Gao Dongxu felt a chill run from his feet straight up to his head, as if countless pairs of cold hands were strangling his throat. He knew he had to find a way to escape quickly, otherwise he would be devoured by this undead army.

Fortunately, he had experience and knew how to absorb the spiritual energy from other antiques at the same time to replenish the spiritual energy in his body in case it was exhausted.

The spiritual energy in the jade ring seemed to be drained away all at once. Under the forced urging of Gao Dongxu's consciousness, the ghost seal actually condensed in his hand.

"brush--"

The general immediately put away his spear, and all the ghost fire eyes in the entire square formation focused on the ghost seal.

Gao Dongxu immediately held up the Ghost Seal in his hand, and with some excitement and eagerness, he used his mind to issue orders to the military formation.

"brush--"

The army formation immediately split into two, and a passage appeared in the middle.

What shocked Gao Dongxu was that these ghost soldiers were extremely fast, and their feet were floating three feet above the ground.

Gao Dongxu tried to control his consciousness to move, and this time it went very smoothly. His entire consciousness flew directly towards the military formation.

When he came in front of the three horse-riding generals, the three generals didn't even look at Gao Dongxu, but just stared at Gui Xi and lowered their heads.

It turns out that these ghost soldiers can be controlled...

Before Gao Dongxu had time to be happy, the Ghost Seal in his hand shattered into starlight and dissipated in an instant, and his consciousness was directly pulled out very roughly.

When Gao Dongxu disappeared, the ghostly eyes of all the ghost soldiers went out, and the world turned white again. There was no sky, no earth, no direction, not even time. All around was nothingness, only silence and paleness.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still lying on the bed, Xiaoxue standing beside him nervously, her eyes full of worry.

"You finally woke up!" Xiaoxue excitedly threw herself into his arms, her voice choked with sobs.

Gao Dongxu gently stroked her hair and said softly: "Okay, okay, I'm fine..."

Xiaoxue raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. "You haven't moved for two hours. Moreover, the jade seal in your hand flickered from time to time. I was really scared..."

Gao Dongxu hugged her delicate body tightly, kissed her red lips, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I told you, nothing will happen."
