Emperor of the North Chapter 46

Chapter 46 - Tomb of the Ancient Emperor

"Ever since the death of the Green Cloud Mountain, the number of living creatures in the mountain has decreased. The size of the mountain has increased from some powerful beasts to some weak insects. The size of the mountain is now no different from a dead mountain."

"That's right, although this time we are mainly here to enter the Ancient Emperor's tomb and our opponents are mainly the demon corpses, we still have to pay attention to them in case some powerful demon beasts take advantage of us."

Young Master Yun reminded him gravely.

Li Mu was a little puzzled: "Demonic Beasts? Wasn't a huge Azure Cloud Mountain beast extinct? Young Master, why do you say that? "

"Although you said that, Brother Li, what if some extremely powerful demon beasts are not weaker than the Ancient Emperor's corpse? Furthermore, the Green Cloud Mountain Range is more than ten miles wide. Even an expert of the sacred art realm would not be able to clear all the living creatures in the mountain. "

Furthermore, to be honest, there was a rank 4 beast lurking on the top of the Green Cloud Mountain. According to the description, it was a black viper with single horn that was as thick as a hundred meter long water tank, not only could it discharge electricity with one horn, it was also said that it could spit out a black poisonous liquid. No matter what it is, whoever touched it would immediately decompose into a puddle of black water.

Young Master Yun said in fear.

"Level 4 demon beast!" "How could it be in this kind of place? Legend has it that the rank 4 beasts and above choose to cultivate in the mountains and forests with dense origin energy. Unless they have reached the transformation level, they would never show themselves in front of ordinary people."

"Moreover, our Chu Country is a small and remote country, the entire country doesn't have two top-grade Yuan Meridians. How could there be a rank 4 beast here?" Li Mu was in disbelief:

Young Master Yun advised, "I know Brother Li doesn't believe me, and I didn't believe you then either. However, my grandfather had personally investigated ten years ago and we've seen each other from afar. Although the chances of our meeting is small, it's still better to be careful!"

The two of them talked while they entered the area covered in white mist. Li Mu did not care much about the black viper with single horn that Young Master Yun feared, it was not that Li Mu did not believe him, but rather he thought that the chances of them meeting him was too small.

Furthermore, that was ten years ago. The Essence Qi here was poor, and any rank 4 demonic beast that had eyes wouldn't choose to stay here. Although there were many mountains in Chu, this was one of the reasons why there weren't any powerful demonic beasts.

After walking into the area shrouded in dense fog, Li Mu could clearly feel that the atmosphere had become much gloomier. The outside world was originally bright and bright, but the area enveloped by this dense fog was grey, with a visibility of less than twenty meters.

"It's not as if this place is completely devoid of fog. At the very least, it would be extremely useful for us to hide our tracks."

Li Mu said happily as he walked in the thick fog.

Young Master Yun nodded in agreement. He was leading the way in the direction of the tomb of the Ancient Emperor. It seemed that he had searched the tomb more than once. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so familiar with it.

After traveling stealthily for nearly an hour, they arrived at a cliff. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a cave that was three to four meters wide and seven to eight meters high.

"This is the entrance to the tomb of the Ancient Emperor. My grandfather and the other senior also went in from here, and according to my grandfather, there is a special cave inside this cave, and the tunnels are criss-crossed. There is a very large s.p.a.ce inside, and because those demon corpses don't like the light, they hide inside this cave until night before coming out."

Looking at the huge cave in front of him, Young Master Yun explained.

Li Mu thought for a while, then asked: "Will the fog on the mountain dissipate at night?"

Young Master Yun nodded his head, "It will dissipate, but it won't dissipate completely. The concentration will decrease by about seventy to eighty percent, and it won't be too far off from dissipating. It will slowly become denser once the sun rises."

"Since your ancestor has been here before, do you know where the Ancient Emperor's corpse are?"

Li Mu continued to ask, if they knew the location of the Ancient Emperor's corpse, they could have directly entered with a goal in mind.

Young Master Yun shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that his grandfather, who only had a Xiantian cultivation base, was unable to enter the depths of the Ancient Emperor's tomb.

"Are we going to just go in? "Could it be that you're being a bit rash?"

They knew nothing about what was happening in the cave. If they were to rush in, if they were to encounter a demon corpse, they would definitely be in a miserable state.

Brother Xiao Yao can't hold it back anymore, but luckily, the corpses' intelligence is very low. Even if they discover it, as long as they can shake it off, it shouldn't be a big problem. You can take these Flame Nitrate Bullets and throw it at a demon corpse, ensure that it turns into ashes! "

Li Mu took out a dozen or so black b.a.l.l.s the size of eggs from the bag on his back. These black b.a.l.l.s were the Flame Nitrate Bullets s that were refined according to the formula that Huntian told him about.

Due to time constraints and limited materials, Li Mu was only able to make 73 pills in time. But even so, he still couldn't forget about it, because the day he made the first Flame Nitrate Bullets, he found an ancient pine tree to test its might. As a result, a Flame Nitrate Bullets smashed onto the ancient pine tree, and in a short period of time, a huge ancient pine tree was burnt to ashes.

At that time, it just so happened that Young Master Yun who was there saw this and praised Li Mu's use of the Flame Nitrate Bullets, but unfortunately the fire flower was limited in numbers, otherwise he could have made even more.

Receiving the dozen or so Flame Nitrate Bullets, Young Master Yun was so excited that his mouth could not close. He had personally witnessed the power of this thing and had only needed to inject a bit of True Essence and throw it out before it would explode within a breath's time.

Once the Flame Nitrate Bullets exploded, it would turn into a blazing fire, the power of the fire was extremely strong, enough to melt gold into fossils, even if a Xiantian master accidentally took one, they would at least lose a layer of skin, the only drawback was that as long as they were blocked off, they would explode in midair, and would not be able to achieve the same effect as injuring people.

"Let's go!"

Li Mu looked around, and then walked in front, and quietly went into the cave, Young Master Yun followed closely behind, he took out a golden large ring blade, and followed Li Mu while keeping watch.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, quietly walked to the entrance of the Ancient Emperor's tomb. The moment they arrived at the entrance, the two of them felt a wave of cold air blowing towards them.

and Yue Yang were already prepared for this. Each of them took out a piece of cloth and covered their faces to prevent any accidents while smelling the rotten stench for a long time.

After entering the cave, the two of them slowed down a lot. Their path was very dark, so their line of sight was greatly affected.

After walking forward for around twenty to thirty meters, Li Mu discovered that they were walking underground. This pa.s.sage had a slope, and actually went straight into the ground.

After walking about two or three hundred meters forward, the situation in front of Li Mu's eyes changed.

This was an extremely large underground stone chamber. It was different from the pitch-black pa.s.sageway that they had walked through before. Many fist-sized Night Pearls were embedded into the walls of the stone chamber.

The Night Pearls were emitting the soft and weak Huaguang. Due to the fact that there were many of them, the entire stone room did not seem dark.

Other than the stone room connecting to the pa.s.sage where Li Mu and Yue Yang had entered, there were also five other entrances on the other side that led to unknown destinations, which seemed to be a transition point at a fork in the road.

"Wah!" So many Night Pearls, how much silver is this worth! "

Looking at the large amount of Night Pearls embedded on the wall, even though Young Master Yun had a rich family background, he still swallowed his saliva.

"This is the Emperor Tomb after all, otherwise it wouldn't be so extravagant. Young master, don't be so hasty with your saliva. There are five paths here, which one should we take first?"

Looking at the five tunnels in front of him, Li Mu had a hard time making a decision.

"I can't make a judgment on that, but I remember my grandfather saying before that he didn't know how to walk either, so he walked all the way to the left. In the end, he met the Ancient Emperor's corpse not too far away and was injured by it."

Young Master Yun looked at all five tunnels before turning to the one on the far left.

"Since that's the case, then let's follow your ancestor's direction. Meeting a Ancient Emperor's corpse means that the general direction is correct!"

After giving it a little thought, Li Mu did the same as Young Master Yun, he set his gaze on the pa.s.sage to the far left.

After agreeing, Li Mu and did not linger either. They slowed down their pace and walked towards the pa.s.sage to the left.

The walls of the pa.s.sageway were inlaid with Night Pearls at intervals. Although it was not as inlaid as before, it still illuminated the rugged pa.s.sage.

Li Mu and Yue Shan quietly moved forward, the further they went, the more nervous the two of them became. After all, they were in a place where demon corpses would gather, and it was possible for two demon corpses to jump out at any time.

The pa.s.sageway was extremely rugged, and seemed to not have been specially prepared, as though it had been hastily carved. If not for the Night Pearl embedded on the wall and the faint traces of excavation on the wall, Li Mu would have thought it was naturally formed.

"Brother Li, something's wrong!"

Suddenly, Young Master Yun stopped Li Mu with a serious face. Not far ahead, a voice could be heard.

Li Mu's senses were not bad, so he naturally heard the voice from the front. He quietly pulled out the partridge and prepared himself.

"Boom!"

"Roar …!"

Suddenly, an explosive sound came out without any warning, followed by the miserable shrieks of the demon corpse, Li Mu and Yue Yang looked at each other, the sound was obviously made by someone fighting.

"What's going on? Could it be that someone else is here?"

A strange thought appeared in Li Mu's mind. Before he came here, he had considered all kinds of situations, but the only thing he did not expect was that there would be other people present.

"Bang!" "BOOM!"

All sorts of violent exploding sounds were emitted continuously, and Li Mu was even more certain that a huge battle had erupted not too far in front of them.

Young Master Yun suggested, "Should we go up and take a look? This battle has been very strange. With such a big commotion, it must not have been caused by some random person. Perhaps it was the Ancient Emperor's corpse?"

What Young Master Yun said made sense. Once he thought about how Ren Xiaoyao was still lying on the bed waiting for him to save him, he clenched his teeth despite the danger, and nodded.

Li Mu held onto the partridge, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, walked with full vigilance. They had only walked forward less than twenty meters when a huge stone room appeared in front of them.

Impressively, there was a huge battle between the human corpses. Li Mu could see clearly that the six men and women were using their own methods to fight against the more than twenty demon corpses. Amongst them, there were more than three red-haired demon corpses.
