The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"The scene within this tangible city only remained in the Ghost Mother's memory for a fleeting moment. The bull's head stopped just before all signs of life were about to disappear, just like when you crush a centipede's head, the centipede dies, but its body can still move."

.... ........ ...

“It’s not that we can’t materialize living things, but rather that we can’t materialize things that have a soul.”

"According to Tibetan legend, if you peel off the yak's face while it is still alive before slaughtering it, you can release the yak's soul and make the yak meat safe to eat."

"As for this place... according to the Demon Kingdom, the souls should all have been offered to the Serpent God."

"I see!"

After listening to Fang Yun's explanation, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his brother, all nodded in understanding.

No wonder we didn't see any living creatures during our previous city patrol; things with souls cannot be materialized.

This is similar to the case of the spirit in the tomb of King Xian, where the spirit was released and offered as a sacrifice to the Ghost Cave.

However, the thought of amides becoming a substance and aloeswood...

"Brother Fang, to put it another way, when the people of the Samsara Sect manifested the Evil Luo Sea City, they could manifest soulless beings, such as... beings similar to those in the Tomb of the King of Xian."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat.

clever!

There's a reason why Partridge Whistle was called the strongest Mountain Moving Taoist in hundreds of years by the previous generation of Mountain Moving Sect members.

With strong talent, perseverance, and quick thinking, he reached his peak right from the start.

In the original storyline, Partridge Whistle failed to find the Muchen Pearl... perhaps it can only be said that it was fate!

After all... he's not the protagonist destined for greatness.

Chapter 130: The Curse of the Ghost on the Shoulder!

As he sighed inwardly, Fang Yun nodded in reply:

"That's a possibility. We need to be more careful on the road ahead, but we can't be too tense, lest we become too anxious."

"Let's go back and rest. We'll explore the city again tomorrow."

After figuring out the origin of the cow's mooing, the four of them returned to the stone chamber where they had been before. Once they had rested and were ready, they would enter the city the next day to investigate further!

.................................

The next morning, the four of them woke up early, lit torches, and headed towards the central area of ​​Evil Luo Sea City.

Time in Evil Luo Sea City is frozen in night. Although it is now daytime and light shines down from the abyss through the clouds, it cannot reach Evil Luo Sea City, which remains unchanged from last night.

This evil Luohai City, "483," is located at the bottom of an abyss, surrounded by the foot of snow-capped mountains, with nowhere to go.

If there is a secret passage, it can only be underground.

Moreover, in the Demon Kingdom, the hierarchy is one of superiors and inferiors; the higher one's status, the lower one's position. Furthermore, half of the Evil Luo Sea City is buried underground.

It's obvious that the path to the Demon Kingdom Altar is hidden in the lowest level of Evil Luo Sea City.

The city is full of cave entrances, which lead to stone chambers.

The group of four searched for a full half hour before finding the largest cave in the central area. This cave was a steep, downward-sloping passage, not the entrance to a stone chamber.

After entering the passage, you can see many caves and stone chambers on both sides, with oil lamps lit outside the doors.

Most of these stone chambers are empty, but the size of the chambers and the specifications of the objects inside already reveal the difference between the underground and above-ground areas.

If the stone chambers above ground are caves, then this underground place is a traditional inn.

The further down you go, the fewer stone chambers there are, but the larger and more luxurious they become. This must have been the residence of the high-ranking officials of the Demon Kingdom.

At the end of the passage, two large stone doors stood ajar.

On either side of the stone gate, there is a small doorway, with a blue and a white gemstone inlaid on the lintel.

"This is... the Star Chart Bead from the Nine-Story Demon Tower?"

Upon seeing the two gems, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, were all taken aback.

These two gems, apart from lacking the star map pattern, are not much different from the two star map beads seen in the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

After examining the two doorways for a while, Partridge Whistle shook his head without any interest.

"These blue and white gems should represent the Boundless Karmic Fire and the Impoverished Divine Ice. This place should be a sacrificial hall used to worship that divine fire and divine weapon."

Neither of the two doorways had doors; looking into the doorways, one could directly see the scene inside.

The scenes inside the two doorways were almost identical, both being stone chambers of about thirty or forty square meters in size.

Inside the stone chamber stood a grotesque stone sculpture of a demon's head, with a row of ladybug patterns carved on its lower jaw. In front of the sculpture were steamed black oxen and white horses as offerings, and in the corner, an oil lamp was lit.

Immediately afterwards, Partridge Whistle pushed open the stone door in the center of the two archways.

Wow....

The moment the stone door was pushed open, a strong gust of wind swept in from inside.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling cold emanated from the stone door, and all four of them frowned upon feeling it.

"hiss.."

Just then, Fang Yun suddenly felt a chill down his back, followed by a burning sensation throughout his body.

At the same time, an itchy sensation appeared behind his right shoulder; it didn't hurt, but it was extremely itchy.

He'd never heard of the Ghost Eye Curse causing itching... Could it be that the power of the Kirin Blood and the Ghost Eye Curse were fighting?

This Qilin blood... it's really silly. It was the same when facing the Ghost Cave, as if they wanted him to just go and fight it head-on.

"Fang Yun?!"

Seeing Fang Yun's skin turn red and he clutch his shoulder, the old foreigner at the back of the group was taken aback. Then, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, and a thought popped into his head.

Thinking of this, the old foreigner looked serious and pulled Fang Yun closer.

"what happened?"

Hearing the commotion behind them, Partridge Whistle and Flower, who had intended to go into the hall to investigate, suddenly turned around, only to see the old foreigner looking at Fang Yun with a serious expression, while Fang Yun was clutching his shoulder and baring his teeth.

Upon seeing this, Partridge Whistle and Flower exchanged a glance, their faces filled with shock.

Since entering the glacier, Fang Yun has not been injured, so it's impossible for any of his injuries to flare up.

And the spot Fang Yun was covering... was precisely where the Ghost Eye Curse was located on their bodies!

Seeing the three people staring at him in shock, Fang Yun shook his head and gave a wry smile, saying:

"Looks like my tender flesh is going to be marked."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companion, sighed, their faces turning quite grim.

Fang Yun was indeed afflicted by the Ghost Eye Curse.

"It's not certain yet!"

At this moment, Hua, with red eyes, walked up to Fang Yun and pulled Fang Yun's robe back sharply, exposing Fang Yun's shoulder.

"Fang Yun... I'm sorry... you shouldn't have come with us..."

When she saw that a circular red mark was indeed rapidly forming on Fang Yun's shoulder, Hua's eyes froze, and tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle closed his eyes and sighed heavily. The old foreigner became even more agitated and kicked the stone door of the main hall.

"fine.."

Holding the sobbing flower close to his chest, Fang Yun whispered:

"Don't forget why we're here."

"As long as the sacrificial ritual is completed, the Ghost Eye Curse will stop. If it is not completed... then it means we cannot get through this and will die here. So whether the Ghost Eye Curse is present or not makes no difference."

He had seen the Evil Luo Sea City manifested by the Demon Eye Boundless Demon Eye, so naturally he would be marked with the 1.3 mark of the sacrifice by the power of the Ghost Cave.

He sensed something was wrong with his shoulder last night, but he didn't expect the ghost eye mark to only grow out now.

Perhaps the curse of the ghost eye was blocked by the Qilin bloodline last night, and just now, even the Qilin bloodline could not withstand the power of the ghost cave.

After standing at the entrance of the main hall for a long time, Partridge Whistle opened his eyes and said with a solemn expression:

"Brother Fang, we have implicated you this time."

"But as you said, as long as we complete the sacrificial ritual, we can eliminate the threat of the curse. With the combined efforts of the Tomb Raiders and the Mountain Movers, we shouldn't be unable to complete even one sacrificial ritual!"

Fang Yun rubbed Hua's head and replied to Partridge Whistle with a smile:

"I guess it's from eating beef last night. I thought of that possibility too, but it's not a big problem. After we finish the ritual, the ghost eye curse can grow as many as it wants; it's useless anyway."

Chapter 131 Ghost Mother Candidate, Crystal Tremor Curse!

"Yes, all we need to do is turn off the sacrificial ceremony!"

Hearing Fang Yun's words, Hua wiped away her tears, hugged Fang Yun, and nodded heavily.

She believed that she had implicated Fang Yun, and that if it weren't for her, Fang Yun wouldn't have come here and been afflicted with the Ghost Eye Curse.

But what's done is done, and now the most important thing is to find a way to resolve this.

Soon, the group of four entered the main hall behind the stone gate.

Inside the main hall are eight supporting stone pillars, which are covered with lights, illuminating the entire hall.
