Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 186 The 1nd Level Trial

Before leaving, Selina confirmed that her special weapon, "Goddess Kali's Immortal Holy Grail," was still usable. Yiyin also handed the boxing gloves he had prepared to Baihu.

After all, no one knows what is inside the tomb, so it is always better to be prepared in advance.

In fact, the tomb was extremely dark, even with the light stones illuminating it, it was still dim. Everyone had to stick together to avoid getting lost.

"This is the tomb of Flamehorn Loren..."

Bubulu seemed very excited. He had dug graves for many dead people, but never for Yanjiao Luolun. Now, wandering in the tomb of the hero he admired most, how could he not be excited?

Unlike the excited Bubulu, the others seemed quite nervous. After all, they didn't deal with cemeteries every day like Bubulu did, so it was normal for them to be afraid.

"Something's wrong."

Yi Yin suddenly spoke up. When he entered the tomb, he noticed that his green-haired turtle was so sick that it couldn't even lift its head. He immediately thought of his experience in the Dark Forest... Could it be that here, like the Dark Forest, there were some kind of restrictions on monsters' abilities?

"Bubulu, come and check on the Sibuxiang!"

Following Yiyin's suggestion, Bubulu immediately checked the Sibu Xiang and found that it refused to come out of its coffin no matter what, and was obviously exhausted.

Even the four-legged beast...

Selina and the four goddesses were worried and tried to summon their monsters from the monster cards, but they failed without a doubt.

"Generally speaking, tombs shouldn't restrict monsters' abilities."

Selina frowned, "But if the owner of the tomb is Flamehorn Loren..."

"Everyone just has to be careful."

Yi Yin warned worriedly, "I have a feeling this might not be the real tomb of Yanjiao Loren. Yanjiao Loren is still alive..."

Everyone began to move more cautiously. This underground tomb was not only dark but also huge, like an ancient relic.

"If such a thing exists, how could grandpa have never known about it?" Bubulu felt very confused.

"Everyone, be careful. Some powerful people deliberately design their tombs to be extremely dangerous to prevent tomb robbers. There might be some traps..."

This mission is extremely difficult, and even Qinglong has to face it seriously.

As soon as Qinglong finished speaking, it was as if some mechanism was activated, and pairs of eyes with strange expressions looked at everyone.

"Mom!"

Suzaku subconsciously grabbed the skirt of Xuanwu, who was closest to her. Xuanwu took out a talisman and prepared to cast an attack.

Accompanied by the sound of "creaking", people realized that they were a group of armored men like robots. They seemed to have no self-awareness and just killed people who broke into the tomb based on their instincts.

"A mere man in armor, not worth mentioning."

Baihu clenched his fists, wanting to test the power of the boxing gloves that Yiyin gave him.

"Don't move yet."

Selina smiled generously, "I can use these armored men to test the power of my weapons!"

Then, Selina activated the "Immortal Grail of the Goddess Kali." To some extent, this could be considered a low-profile version of Albert, allowing him to manipulate the four elements at will.

These armored men seemed so powerless in front of the "Immortal Holy Grail of Goddess Kali" that they soon fell down one after another.

"Miss, if you use your weapon like this, what will happen next?"

Yi Yin was very worried, "And you just sold your elemental crystal..."

“I have plenty!”

With that, Suzaku handed all the elemental crystals to Selina. In her opinion, Selina's skill in using elemental crystals was the best among them. A powerful tool can only reach its maximum value when placed in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

"This is witchcraft..."

Xuanwu touched the armored man lying on the ground and made a firm judgment.

Since Yiyin can no longer hear Xuanwu's inner voice, the "translation" work can only be done by Baihu, who can read lips.

Bai Hu said, "I've also heard of witchcraft... To this day, in some remote places, there are still professions such as wizards or witches, and their witchcraft is usually accompanied by healing. Witchcraft of this level, which controls inorganic life forms, is really rare nowadays..."

"But I've never heard that Flamehorn Loren is a wizard." Bubulu scratched his head.

"It might not be his own work. He might have hired someone to cast a spell." Qinglong frowned, making her obsidian eyes look even more charming. "The Ten Shadow Kings were Blue Star's treasures when they were alive, and their value never diminishes even after their death."

"Well... come to think of it, shouldn't anyone who can become one of the Ten Shadow Kings be able to master the art of immortality?" Yi Yin expressed his doubts.

"Among the ten known deceased Shadow Kings, there is Capricorn, the ancestor of Chairman Lion Yao of your Cross Base."

Qinglong changed the subject, "--However, now is not the time for idle chat. The underground tomb has not been ventilated for many years, so the air inside is very thin. We must find the skeleton of the Flame Dragon quickly, otherwise if we delay for a while, we will all suffocate to death!"

After Qinglong finished speaking, people began to move forward.

However, Yiyin was still cautious. He carefully touched the group of armored men, and only after making sure that the armored men would not suddenly come back to life did he continue to move forward with his companions.

.

The armored man's attack was only the first level of defense. It could be expected that Flamehorn Loren must have hidden his own body and the Flame Dragon's remains very deep.

"Xuanwu said she could divine the fastest shortcut once."

Baihu explained, "...Of course, Xuanwu has been doing a lot of divination lately, so it might have consumed a lot of her energy. Everyone, please keep an eye on her."

After saying that, everyone gathered around Xuanwu, vigilantly guarding against possible threats from all directions.

Xuanwu took out a few talismans and chanted something.

But after a while, she suddenly fell down without any warning. Baihu was quick-witted and quick-handed, and caught her in his arms before she fell.

Xuanwu's face showed a very unnatural redness. Although she tried her best to adjust her breath, Baihu still felt that her breath was very disordered.

"How could this happen? Could it be that the time has been advanced?"

Baihu frowned, "Or..."

Suzaku said in distress, "Xuanwu must have been affected by something unclean. She has a pure Yin body and is very sensitive to things like souls... Damn it! I should have thought of it earlier!"

"Xuanwu-senpai!"

Looking at Xuanwu's appearance, Yiyin thought of the same thing she had experienced before, when Sai Daxi had ambushed her and she fell into a coma...

Wait, Sai Daxi?

Could it be a curse cast by Sai Daxi’s ghost…?

In fact, Yiyin still has a Raphael. As long as Xuanwu takes it, Xuanwu will be 100% cured. But Yiyin is not sure whether the same thing will happen again and Xuanwu will suffer the same mistake.

"Xuanwu classmate, are you okay?"

Bubulu was extremely anxious. Now they were a whole team, and any accident to any one of them could lead to the whole team losing.

"It's okay, I believe in Xuanwu."

As the chairman of the Monster Master Preparatory Committee of the Four Gods Base, Qinglong put the overall situation first and quickly came up with the best solution that best suited the current situation.

"Xuanwu won't go any further. Of course, returning the same way isn't an option either, as it might trigger some hidden mechanism. My suggestion is to let Baihu stay with Xuanwu and leave together after we return."

"Why does it have to be Baihu?" Bubulu asked curiously.

Qinglong smiled and said, "It's no exaggeration to say that Baihu is the best among us. I feel more at ease with her watching over Xuanwu."

Bai Hu nodded.

"Leave it to me. But let me make it clear in advance...depending on Xuanwu's situation, I might take her away first. You'd better prepare in advance."

After saying this, Baihu laid Xuanwu flat on the ground to rest. Xuanwu's face was still red, and he didn't look very well.

Baihu waved to everyone, meaning that they could move on.

"..."

Yi Yin naturally believed that Baihu could protect Xuanwu. Because everyone's monsters could not be summoned now, they could only fight using their own bodies.

As for the White Tiger's combat power, Yi Yin had been "beaten" by it many times and had a deep understanding of it.
