Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 74 The mountains beyond the mountains, I cannot dig them through!
Buyeo was a country that existed more than 1,800 years ago, and had been established for 700 years.

Its territory covered Liaodong and further north, including Jianzhou and Nurgan. It was a state that established a dynasty in Northeast China earlier than the Han Chinese and Goryeo.

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the administrative division of the Fuyu Kingdom belonged to Xuantu Commandery. During the reign of Emperor Xian, its king requested to be transferred to Liaodong Commandery.

Legend has it that when the kings of Buyeo passed away, the governor of Xuantu County would bestow upon them a jade casket with a silver-inlaid jade burial suit as their burial object.

The regimes on the Korean Peninsula consider the Buyeo people to be one of the ancestors of the Korean people.

Some Japanese scholars, who advocate the theory of conquest by nomadic peoples, also believe that Buyeo and Goguryeo may be the origins of the Japanese.

It's quite remarkable that the tomb of this kingdom's general, which dates back a thousand years, has survived to this day.

In reality, ancient tombs are generally not very large; even imperial mausoleums are not that big.

However, in "The Great Thousand Primordial Chaos," or rather, in this world with the path of cultivation, building a very large tomb is not a difficult task.

In fact, the practice of elaborate funerals is extremely prevalent in this world.

After all, there really are gods and spirits in this world. And after death, one really does go to the underworld.

The blessings of our ancestors are not just empty words; we definitely need to cultivate virtue diligently! Who knows, they might even come in handy in the afterlife!

The powerful families of the Great Shun Dynasty held incredibly grand ancestral rites during festivals.

In those bustling metropolises, the crowds during religious ceremonies and sacrifices are immense.

The tomb that Chen Xiuxian and his group planned to "tear down" was no ordinary one.

After passing through the underground cavity where the pig-faced bat was located, and following the traces of broken walls and tiles, they soon found another section of the tomb passage.

This is where we officially enter the general's tomb.

You know what, that dark tomb passage was pretty scary!
Blood seeped from the cracks in the brickwork, and hair-like particles crawled within the cracks.

Why did the ever-burning lamp on the wall suddenly change color? And why did a level 17 or 18 elite ghost rush out of the shadows?

This thing was wearing a tattered black robe, and its face was thirty or forty centimeters long. It was as white as if it had been powdered, and it lunged at the least timid person in the group with a blank expression.

—Not that girl, it's Gadak.

Good heavens, the screams of Gadak and the girl echoed through the tomb passage, making my ears feel like they were going to go deaf.

Chen Xiuxian really wanted to ask him if he sang tenor.

This ghost's methods are quite insidious. It pounces on a person and sticks to them like glue, impossible to pull away, and then quickly sucks their life force.

Gadak was alright; he was just a young man. Although he screamed a lot when the ghost pounced on him, he didn't really suffer.

But the girls in that group were different. One of them, with a long, fair face, hugged another girl, which angered her boyfriend so much that he stabbed the stones in the tomb passage with his spear, causing sparks to fly.

As for Chen Xiuxian, he was not afraid of this surprise attack. With the help of his fire manipulation technique, the torch in his hand burst into flames, forcing the ghost to retreat.

After finally getting through this terrifying tomb passage, we arrived at the secret passage with hidden mechanisms.

The five of them were like characters from Temple Run, facing fireballs, giant iron swords, trapdoors, and hidden arrows...

Almost everyone in the team sustained some minor injuries.

That guy wasn't good at physical combat, and after a few rounds he was panting heavily.

"No... I mean... I saw on the forum that you only need to choose between the mechanical tomb passage and the terrifying tomb passage, how come we've encountered both?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuxian also sensed something was amiss. He sent Ma Si'er ahead to scout the way, only to discover that the five of them had somehow taken the wrong path.

It wasn't a straight line at all. If we continued like this, we'd have to try all four of the surrounding tomb passages!
Little glutton!
"Ma Si'er, you go ahead and scout the way. Be careful of those evil spirits and the like," Chen Xiuxian instructed.

The reason we didn't dare release him before was because there were many monsters in this book that were higher level than him, and we were worried that he would be caught off guard and lose.

But we have no choice but to let them out now; if things continue like this, we'll be in deep trouble.

Finally, with Ma Si'er leading the way, they discovered many traps and monsters in advance. After killing them all, they walked through the main tomb passage in the middle and entered the first hall.

In the first hall, there were eighteen terracotta figures, arranged in two rows on the left and right. As Chen Xiuxian and his companions stepped into the hall, they slowly raised their heads, and their eyes began to blink.

Those were all over two meters tall, very burly, and their facial features weren't human, but rather various animals.

Fight the clay figurine, level 18, elite...

These 18 terracotta warriors each have different skills, and they can also coordinate in twos and threes to use military formation techniques!
The wasps that guy released were completely useless. They couldn't even sting the flesh!
However, the old man had his own way of doing things, and took out a stack of palm-sized paper figures from his pocket (inventory).

He scattered it out and blew on it.

Nine paper figures, each the size of a normal person, stood in front of him.

It's the kind of paper figure burned at funerals, with a frame made of straw or bamboo poles, covered with a layer of paper, and decorated with clothes, hats, and facial features.

In this dimly lit tomb, the eerie feeling was incredibly strong.

Especially when Gadak stared at the paper doll with twin braids beside him, and the doll even tilted her head and smiled at him, it startled him. Gadak: Dude, what kind of game are you guys playing? Each one is more hellish than the last!
A level 12 paper doll is already considered an inflated level; it requires the player to control it to attack and has little autonomy.

What's more, their numbers are only half of the other side's.

The nine paper figures could only block four or five clay figurines, and they were hit with a crackling sound.

The rest is up to Chen Xiuxian and his team to handle.

That petty soldier, who got angry because his girlfriend kept peeking at Chen Xiuxian, was actually quite powerful and very skilled in military formations. He could take on three or four terracotta warriors with no energy left.

His girlfriend used minor spells and magical artifacts to assist him, and the two worked together seamlessly. However, the results were less than ideal.

When the soldier swung his iron spear, the clay figure crumbled.

The girl flung her fire talisman, which exploded quite loudly, but only blackened the area...

Gadak cracked his whip loudly, but it didn't do much damage.

This terracotta warrior has high defense and magic resistance; a whip strike will turn it into a wisp of ash.

It depends on yourself!

Chen Xiuxian knew he couldn't slack off anymore, so he went for it!

Bring me my Ruyi!

Where's the minecart? Charge!
The broken Ruyi scepter released a cold current, freezing several clay figurines on the spot. The appearance of the mine cart created an even bigger spectacle.

It rumbled through the tomb, smashing through two clay figurines, knocking down four, before being forced to stop by three more, which then combined their strength to overturn them to the side.

However, Chen Xiuxian easily retrieved it, and was able to launch another attack immediately.

Those clay figurines that came close were knocked down by stones he casually controlled, making it impossible for them to get near him.

With one hand behind his back, he looks really cool!
If the environment weren't so cramped, he would have used the Grass Dragon or the Rainbow Fire Fan.

If you really fanned the flames hard in this environment, the people would probably turn into roast ducks in a stuffy oven.

……

The sword energy of the Rainbow Sword in Chen Xiuxian's hand surged and flickered red like a lightsaber.

He cleaved the head of the clay figure that had been knocked down by the mine cart with a single sword stroke.

This is the first terracotta warrior to be killed.

Unexpectedly, after killing the terracotta warrior, Chen Xiuxian saw a shriveled human head inside the cracked terracotta warrior's head.

Are people sealed inside these clay figurines?
And judging from the appearance, it was sealed in while the person was still alive!

The number of these eighteen terracotta warriors decreases as you progress, making them easier to defeat.

But Chen Xiuxian and his group still managed to fight for more than half an hour.

In the end, everyone had to take a break.

Take some recovery pills and prepare some cooked food and drinks to help you recover.

A few torches illuminated a corner of the tomb, making it less frightening.

The five people ate and chatted.

As a result, when Gadak asked Chen Xiuxian where he was active, he was stumped.

People can form a team and send messages via carrier pigeon (email) or something.

I'll give myself away as soon as I say it!
All he could say was, "I'm just playing around, it's not a fixed place, I go wherever there's a remote spot. There aren't any other players..."

……

The old man held up a torch to illuminate the murals on the wall. "According to the forum, after passing through this front room and side halls, you'll reach the main hall. That's where the Fuyu general is."

Gadak asked, "Brother, is this the final boss?"

"Yes, the Red-haired Corpse Hou. It is said that when the deceased is placed in the coffin, a talisman burned to ashes is placed in the mouth of the deceased, and the deceased holds the most precious thing in his hand. If a tomb robber comes to steal it, the corpse will be possessed by evil energy, and hard hair will grow all over its body, making it impervious to swords and spears, and it will not be satisfied until it strangles the tomb robber to death."

Hearing this evil spell will bring misfortune to one's later years.

The forum says this thing is a level 29 leader-level corpse monster, extremely tall, with a body as hard as iron, and impervious to swords and spears.

The group shared their knowledge and took out the items they carried that could deal with zombies and monsters.

They also introduced some of their useful skills and assigned tasks.

Get ready for the final boss fight!
