"Originally, I just wanted to distribute resources with you guys, but since you're so greedy, I have no choice but to kill you."
Lin Hao looked at Chen Wu's corpse with a cold face and said indifferently.
Immediately, the compound eyes of the kungfu fly turned to Fang Xiao Ke's corpse.
Due to the fact that it had just died, the aura in the spirit vein in its body had not yet dissipated completely.
In order to make sure that the treasures in the secret room, whether or not they needed the essence blood of some Fang Clan's direct lineage again, Lin Hao steeply performed the star devouring kung fu technique as his mind turned to it.
Between the surges of spiritual energy, a circle of black holes appeared out of thin air in Lin Hao's right palm, permeated with a palpitating devouring power.
Lin Hao crouched down and pressed his palm on the wound at Fang Xiao Ke's chest.
The black aura flashed between his palms, and the blood and aura within the corpse were all devoured.
And then, under Lin Hao's control, a large drop of thick essence blood was quickly condensed.
The slowly writhing life force, as well as the fluctuation of spiritual qi, was actually exactly the same as the essence blood that Fang Xiao Ke had condensed earlier.
The only difference was that the portion was larger.
Lin Hao took out a vial from his storage ring and put the essence blood inside it.
And at that moment, the metal wall in front of him, after rising to the top, actually started to sink automatically.
Apparently, the wall's runic formation featured an automatic opening and closing function!
"Go."
At that moment, Lin Hao swept inside with Little White.
In order to prevent anything untoward, the tarantula and kungfu fly they weren't collected into the system pet space, each standing on both of Lin Hao's shoulders.
The entrance behind the wall was not some passageway, or a stone door.
Instead, it was a layer of hazy light, and as one stepped in, the entire person was instantly sucked in.
Whoosh!
The speed at which the metal wall sank, was not tight or slow, and just when it was about to fit with the ground.
A black shadow, suddenly swept through from that gap.
He raised his head, and it was a bloodless pale face, with a pair of narrow eyes, permeated with a gloomy and cold meaning.
Looking at Lin Hao's silhouette in front of him, which had already been absorbed by the hazy light layer, the man in black didn't rush to swipe in, but instead stood in silence.
That kind of behavior was similar to Lin Hao's earlier mantis pouncing on the cicada, yellow sparrow at the back rhyme.
And at that moment, Lin Hao had already swept through the light layer.
The vision of the kungfu fly was gradually clearing up after a short blur.
Lin Hao gazed at it, but saw that here, it was a huge secret room, completely closed around.
At the top of the center of the room, there was a night pearl, round and smooth, emitting a soft light.
The line of sight moved to the depths, where there is a sarcophagus, in the shape of standing.
Vaguely, there was an oppressive and powerful aura spreading out.
"It seems that the owner in this sarcophagus should be that Fang Clan ancestor."
Looking at the somewhat creepy sarcophagus, Lin Hao whispered with slight surprise.
Although that Saint realm powerhouse had already fallen for hundreds of years, the aura permeating out from this sarcophagus right now still retained that residual power.
And under the shroud of this Holy Realm aura, Lin Hao obviously felt that the spiritual energy flowing within his body was all slightly slowed down.
However, what made Lin Hao feel a little weird was that next to the sarcophagus, there were four stone beast statues lined up.
Their faces were fierce, and their fierce forms were lifelike, as if they were guards, coiled around the sarcophagus.
Thinking of the Rune Puppet Beast outside the ancient tomb earlier, Lin Hao couldn't help but be secretly on guard, and didn't venture forward to test it.
Especially on the ground at the bottom of that sarcophagus, some runic formation engravings could be seen vaguely.
This kind of arrangement, it was thought that it wasn't as simple as just decoration.
"Where is the treasure?"
Immediately, Lin Hao manipulated the vision of the kungfu fly and tarantula, scanning around inside the secret room.
As they searched, they didn't gain anything.
Because, the secret room was huge and empty at a glance.
Almost at a glance.
"Could it be inside the sarcophagus?"
Lin Hao's line of sight, which fell back on that sarcophagus in front of him, couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva.
Although he had killed quite a few people, he had never seen an ancient corpse that had died for hundreds of years.
After such a long time, one didn't know what a dead corpse looked like, was it scary?
As his mind pondered, Lin Hao's face flushed as he greeted, "Little Fly, go open the sarcophagus."
Facing his master's order, the kungfu little fly didn't disobey in the slightest, immediately flapping its wings and swept towards the sarcophagus.
Buzz-buzz-!
In the quiet stone room, the sound of Kung Fu Little Fly's flight was exceptionally clear.
Under Lin Hao's gaze through the tarantula's vision, he saw that the kung fu fly quickly flew close to the stone list.
The whole process was unhindered, and nothing unusual happened.
The little kung fu fly flew to the side and pushed its claws towards the coffin lid.
Now evolved to the S rank of Kung Fu Little Fly, the combat strength is comparable to the peak of the seventh level warrior of the martial artist, although the coffin lid is heavy, but for it, it is a breeze.
Only hearing a 'pop' sound, dust fluttered.
The sarcophagus that had been sealed and dusted for hundreds of years finally, at this moment, slowly opened.
Lin Hao's heart, all of a sudden, became tight and alert.
At the same time, the gravity treasure armor on his body was also destroyed by his spiritual power, and the function of the defensive runes was suddenly activated.
Although what he was about to face was just an ancient corpse, its strength was that of a Saint Domain powerhouse from hundreds of years ago.
Based on this alone, it made Lin Hao have to be vigilant.
And then, the sarcophagus opened completely.
A human skeleton was steeply presented in Lin Hao's line of sight!
That skeleton was grayish-white, with robes that had long since faded and were even a bit tattered.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy that diffused out from that skeleton.
Seeing this, Lin Hao's throat rolled and couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva.
At this moment, in this kind of silent chamber, facing such an ancient corpse without the slightest bit of flesh and blood, one couldn't help but feel a little creeped out.
As he observed, Lin Hao realized that in the ancient corpse's abdomen, there seemed to be light flickering inside that place of clothing.
Hiddenly, there was a strange energy fluctuation that permeated out from there.
"Little fly, get rid of the clothes."
Lin Hao was quite curious and immediately ordered.
The Kung Fu Little Fly's foot claws gently scratched, and the layer of clothes at the abdomen was instantly cut open.
In a flash, what was presented was a flame-like spirit body.
Its shape was like a small human baby sitting on a plate, its body was red, filled with an extremely strong and pure fire spiritual energy.
"Could it be a spirit baby?!"
Seeing this, Lin Hao fiercely took a deep breath, his mood surging.
He could already be certain that this ancient corpse was definitely a Saint realm powerhouse in its lifetime!
As everyone knew, after the nine spiritual veins in a martial artist's body were opened, they could induce the spiritual qi of heaven and earth into their body, and condense a spirit baby in the sea of dantian acupoints.
However, spirit babies were extremely difficult to condense, and were also a major gap between the ninth level of the martial cultivation world and the Holy Domain.
Even for geniuses with strong cultivation talent, it would still take quite some time to condense it.
Once refined, not only is the strength unimaginable, the body function is also beyond the mortal flesh, life source increased by at least three hundred years.
A good example is the blind sword saint of the Tianyan Academy, 'Old Mo', whose age, today, is over two hundred years old.
Even the Mansion Master Ying Yuanzi, when he was young, was still a student taught by Mo Lao.
Moreover, after a Saint Realm powerhouse's life falls, the vast majority of the spirit babies in their bodies will remain, and for martial artists below the Saint Realm, it can be said to be a divine elixir that accelerates cultivation.
Its value was incalculable, and even if Lin Hao took out all of his wealth nowadays, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to purchase it.
It was precisely because of the rarity of spirit babies that those who received rumors about the news of the Saint realm's ancient tomb were reckless enough to venture into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.
The spirit baby of the ancient corpse was filled with rich flame energy, and it was obvious that what it practiced in its lifetime was fire martial arts.
The attributes of this energy were furious and fierce.
If he was able to absorb it, Lin Hao would definitely increase with each passing day on the path of fire martial arts cultivation, at least until he broke through the Saint Domain!
"What spirit weapon treasures outside are really nothing compared to this spirit baby."
As Lin Hao muttered, the smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more fervent.
It was sort of understood that the previous Chen Wu and Fang Xiao Ke, when faced with the many treasures in the ancient tomb, such as spirit sun stones, spirit weapons, and so on, were not even half moved.
It turned out that this was where the real treasure was hidden!
"Little fly, take out the spirit baby."
At Lin Hao's order, the kungfu little fly didn't have the slightest hesitation and steeply swept away.
"Swoosh--!"
However, just as Kung Fu Little Fly's foot claw was about to touch the spirit baby, a sword aura suddenly shot violently from the right side.
The powerful sword qi was as fast as lightning as it slashed at the Kung Fu Little Fly.
"Snort!"
With the sudden attack, the Kung Fu Little Fly reacted in an instant, its eyes flashed red and steeply shot out a red laser.
This was precisely its third skill, Laser Compound Eye!
Bang!
In an instant, the laser and the sword qi collided together, erupting into intense flames in the void.
An ear-piercing roar immediately echoed through the stone room.
However, even though Kung Fu Fly had made a timely defense, the strong force that came back from the shock still shook him and sent him flying backwards, crashing into the stone wall at the back.
"Hehe, it's true that there is no place to look for iron shoes, but it's not hard to find it, there really is a spirit baby here!"
After the kung fu fly was sent flying, a cold laughter also sounded behind Lin Hao.
Swoosh!
Immediately afterward, a black shadow, like a ghost, swept in from the back.
His speed was incredibly fast, and the sudden change also caused Lin Hao's heart to tremble.
He immediately felt a cold killing aura coming from behind him, and immediately, his spiritual energy surged out in a flash.
At the same time, he held the Dragon Devouring Sword in his hand, and without even glancing at it, he directly and decisively slashed fiercely at his back.
"Hm?!"
Seemingly sensing the strangeness of the Dragon Devouring Sword, that black shadow let out a cry of surprise, and the attack between his palms did not dare to touch the Dragon Devouring Sword.
At that moment, his feet glared at the ground and his figure leapt up, instantly landing on top of the stone beast statue next to the sarcophagus.
The tarantula immediately locked onto the black-clothed man's location, and Lin Hao also faced the latter with a cold face.
Little White bared his sharp mouth teeth, ready to fight.
"Kid, your mantis pouncing on the cicada and the yellow sparrow at the back is indeed very clever, but it's a pity that you forgot that there's still me, the eagle."
The man in black towered over Lin Hao, his pale face surging with a playful smile.
After saying that, the black-clothed man's body's aura surged, steeply erupting into an extremely majestic aura.
"This guy, very strong!"
Lin Hao's heart sank.
This strong spiritual energy fluctuation had at least reached the level of a rank nine warrior!
At this, Lin Hao was quite surprised.
Obviously, he also didn't expect that while he was following Fang Xiao Ke and Chen Wu, there was still someone following him at the back.
Moreover, he hadn't realized it all along.
Following in the dark like this was undoubtedly holding a purpose.
Could it be that this black-clothed person, too, knew about the secret chamber of the ancient tomb, which required the first bloodline of the Fang Clan in order to open it?
As his heart turned, Lin Hao seemed to have guessed something, and his mind suddenly flashed.
"If I'm not wrong, you should be the one who spread the news about the Ancient Tomb Mansion."
Lin Hao said in a cold voice.
Although he was a bit shocked in his heart at the moment, his voice, however, was still calm and collected.
At those words, a trace of surprise flashed through the black-robed man's eyes, but then he smiled.
"Then guess again why I want to spread the news of the ancient tomb."
The man in black looked at Lin Hao, a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth.
Lin Hao indifferently said, "I think that when you discovered this ancient tomb, you saw the name of senior Wu Tian, and that's how you knew that it was that Saint realm powerhouse of the Fang Clan's ancestor."
"But the core secret chamber, it requires an heir of the Fang Clan's direct bloodline to open it, while you don't know where the Fang Clan's lineage is, and you're too lazy to look around, that's why you intentionally spread the news of the ancient tomb, and use it to lure in the clansmen of the Fang Clan."
Saying this, Lin Hao sneered and asked, "Do you think this guess of mine is reasonable or not?"
"That's right, you're smart."
The man in black let out a deep laugh, staring at Lin Hao with a grim gaze, contemptuously saying, "However, if your cultivation is too weak, it's useless even if you're smart."
"Is that so? If you have the ability, you can try instead."
Lin Hao laughed coldly, the broken sword in his hand, under the infusion of spiritual energy, emitted a cold black aura.
Regarding Lin Hao's confidence, the man in black was a bit surprised in his heart.
His gaze sized up Lin Hao gloomily, a lowly cultivation of a rank five warrior, where did he get the confidence from.
Couldn't it be those three pets?
And ... that broken sword?
The black-clothed man's eyes narrowed slightly, naturally, he could tell at a glance that the tarantula, kung fu fly, and little white were extraordinary.
However, it was the Dragon Devouring Sword in Lin Hao's hand that made him feel a bit scornful.
The cold energy fluctuation that permeated out from the sword, even the black-clothed man whose strength had reached the ninth level of warrior, felt unusually dangerous.
Otherwise, the sword that Lin Hao had slashed out with his backhand just now, he didn't even have the certainty to fight hard.
As he surveyed it, the black-clothed man felt more and more strange about this broken sword, and a touch of undisguised greed surged in his eyes.
"Kid, I'm interested in the broken sword in your hand,"
He stared at Lin Hao, his tone had a cat-and-mouse-like teasing, "If you hand it over of your own accord, and then break your own arm, I might even be able to spare your life, how about it?"
However, Lin Hao's next reply caused the teasing and smirking at the corner of his mouth to vanish.
"Idiot."
With just two words, the black-clothed man's face was undoubtedly gloomy to the extreme at this moment.
In the stone room, the atmosphere instantly became frozen.
"Kid, you have a lot of guts, but this kind of person, tends to die the fastest!"
The man in black stared at Lin Hao with a cold gaze, his voice filled with biting killing intent.
Bang!
As soon as the words fell, his figure violently swept out.
At the same time, an extremely majestic spiritual energy fluctuation erupted between his palms, forming a huge palm shadow that fiercely blasted towards Lin Hao!
