As his vision opened up, Lin Hao suddenly realized that she and Chen Wu, the two of them, had actually quietly bypassed the area of the thunder net, swept into the passageway at the back of the stone hall, and continued straight into the depths of the tomb mansion.
"Five spirit weapons only, compared to the treasures in the core chamber, it's simply not worth mentioning!"
Chen Wu glanced back at the frantic scene outside and gave a disdainful dark snort.
Although he was also eyeing those spirit weapons to death, there were a large number of martial artists present, plus the five forces of the Sky Eagle Martial Hall were also among them.
At that time, even if the Thunder Net was breached, a fierce battle would definitely break out.
And with the strength of the two of them, he and Fang Xiao Ke, wanting to snatch a spirit weapon from it would undoubtedly be a pie in the sky.
With that result, it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to arrive at the core chamber ahead of the others, and then open the seal to get the treasure.
"Xiao Ke, there's no time to lose now, let's rush to the burial chamber as soon as possible."
As his mind turned, Chen Wu urged Fang Xiao Ke, who was traveling with him, and the speed at which the two of them were running and skimming steeply accelerated by a few more points.
Seeing this scene, Lin Hao glanced at the five spiritual weapon light clusters in the thunder net, and without too much hesitation, he had already made a decision.
"Little White, go."
After he said that, he moved his body and performed the traveling dragon step to quickly bypass the crowd, directly running towards the mouth of the passageway at the back.
In Lin Hao's opinion, the Dragon Devouring Sword that he now possessed was originally a divine weapon at the top level among spiritual weapons, and although those five spiritual weapons in the Thunder Net were worth a lot, even if they were snatched, they were still rather chicken ribs in general.
So this kind of temptation was not as strong as the mysterious treasure in that core secret room.
Just like this, Lin Hao continued to persevere in secretly following Fang Xiao Ke and Chen Wu according to the previous plan.
As he moved forward, Lin Hao clearly found that the direction of the passageway began to slope downward a bit, as if it was leading straight into the depths of the ground.
After about ten or so bells, the man and woman in the tarantula's line of sight finally stopped.
Because at this time, in front of the two people, blocked a wall, just like a dead end.
The construction of the wall, but some weird.
Look at its material, should be some kind of rare high-level metal casting, body red gold.
And above it was inscribed with an extremely esoteric rune, converging formation runes, vaguely emitting an obscure energy fluctuation.
Compared to the stone door seal outside the ancient tomb before, the degree of defense here was undoubtedly even stronger.
"Could it be that this is the entrance to the chamber at the core?"
Fang Xiao Ke's gaze flickered as he looked at the metal wall in front of him, his face slightly pleased as he said.
"Are you sure?"
Chen Wu was slightly surprised and inquired.
"Uh-huh."
Fang Xiao Ke nodded her head and murmured, "I remember that Grandpa once told me that the burial chamber of our Fang Clan's ancestors, if we want to enter, the prerequisite needs to open a runic metal wall."
"And the key to that is the essence blood of our Fang Clan's first lineage."
"So I think that this wall, should be it."
As he observed, Fang Xiao Ke became more and more certain of his guess.
After all, this place already belonged to the core area, but right now it was a dead end, with no other passageway that could lead to the secret room.
"Then how to open it?"
Chen Wu suppressed the excitement in his heart and inquired.
Fang Xiao Ke stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the center of the runic formation on the wall.
There, at the eye of the formation, there was a recessed area, about half an inch square.
"If my guess is correct, here, this could be the location where the infiltration opens."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wu's eyes lit up, and an undisguised look of ecstasy surged on his face.
"There's no time to lose, let's try it quickly."
Immediately, he couldn't help but urge.
As he spoke, he even took the initiative to take out a dagger.
That look of impatience caused Fang Xiao Ke's willow brows to knit slightly.
Especially when Chen Wu took out the dagger, Fang Xiao Ke, for some reason, vaguely felt an instinctive sense of wariness.
"We are cousins, Brother Wu shouldn't hurt me."
Fang Xiao Ke took a deep breath, reassuring herself and at the same time dispelling the wariness in her heart.
Immediately, she took the dagger and flicked it on her wrist.
Not long after, scarlet blood slowly seeped out from the wrist wound.
Seeing this, Chen Wu's eyes sank slightly.
It seemed to think that this kind of scratch was too light, what if the blood was too little to activate?
Because, there was a clear difference between essence blood and ordinary blood.
Only those who cultivated martial arts could condense their body's essence blood, which contained a martial artist's longevity source and cultivation, and was very precious.
This was also why, he had protected Fang Xiao Ke along the way to personally travel here.
And then, Fang Xiao Ke immediately mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and condensed the blood from the wound, into a thick drop of essence blood that was suspended.
Although the drop of essence blood was small, it was permeated with a faint fluctuation of spiritual qi, and it even seemed to have vitality as if it was slowly writhing.
"Just one last step away."
Seeing the essence blood coalesce, the exuberance and greed in Chen Wu's eyes grew stronger.
If not for the fact that he still had Fang Xiao Ke for the time being, he would have long ago been unable to suppress and expose his true colors.
Immediately, under Fang Xiao Ke's control, the drop of red essence blood drifted towards the depression of the formation eye on the wall.
As it penetrated, the drop of blood melted away.
Immediately afterward, the runes around the eye of the formation spread rapidly like scarlet threads of blood under the spread of the blood.
In just a few short breaths, it covered the entire formation.
In a flash, the metal wall trembled violently.
Only a dull 'boom' was heard, and the entire wall, in fact, slowly rose from the ground.
"It's opened!"
Seeing this scene, Fang Xiao Ke's pretty face instantly blossomed into a smile of surprise.
Next to her, Chen Wu looked at the metal wall that slowly rose up in front of him, and the corner of his mouth, too, slowly lifted up a sinister arc.
"Brother Wu, let's go in."
Fang Xiao Ke was now in a very good mood and took the lead in walking forward.
However, just two steps out, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest and immediately looked down in shock.
Instead, she saw a long sword, piercing through her chest from where her heart was, scarlet blood slowly sliding down from the tip of the sword.
Behind his back, Chen Wu sneered with a gloomy face, "The original plan, I was planning to collect both people and money, but it feels too troublesome, with the treasure, what kind of woman would I not be able to get?"
"So, you no longer have any utilization value, you can also go die."
As soon as the words fell, the long sword in Chen Wu's hand was violently pulled out.
That force immediately caused Fang Xiao Ke to fall back to the ground with a scream of pain, blood rolling from her chest.
"Chen Wu, I curse ... you, shall not die!"
Fang Xiao Ke was shocked and furious, her eyes stared resentfully at Chen Wu, and after finishing her last sentence, she was completely cut off from life.
"People die for money, birds die for food, if you want to blame it, blame it on you being too naive ..."
Looking at the dead body on the ground, Chen Wu let out a fierce smile, his face showing a vicious intent.
However, just before he finished speaking, a black aura suddenly swept in, directly penetrating through Chen Wu's neck and throat.
It was a black tail covered in scales, and its source was the tarantula that had been attached to Chen Wu's back at an unknown time.
The sudden attack made Chen Wu panic, and before he could think of anything else, he suffocated and fell to the ground.
In the back passage, the sound of steady footsteps sounded.
Immediately afterward, a large and a small, two figures were also walking unhurriedly.
Those two figures were undoubtedly none other than Lin Hao and Little White!
Walking closer, Lin Hao indifferently looked at the two corpses on the ground, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth.
This plan of the mantis pouncing on the cicada and the yellow sparrow at the back was considered to have ended perfectly.
