C542 The Sarcophagus
However, it stared at Chen Yu without any reaction to pain or injuries.
Yao Yaoh, who was standing behind Chen Yu, was shocked.
Soon, the corpse wolf rushed over again. Although it was limping, its speed was not slow. When it arrived in front of Chen Yu, it pounced again.
"Back off!" Chen Yu exclaimed as he turned to the side and slashed at the wolf claw.
Previously, Chen Yu had chopped at the head of the corpse wolf, but he was unable to split open the skull of the corpse wolf. Thus, he could only take a step back and first cut off the wolf's claw.
His blade was like lightning, fast to the point where it was peerless. Accompanied by a terrifyingly strong burst of energy, another wolf claw flew out from beneath the Wind Stabilization Blade.
The corpse wolf fell onto the ground from Chen Yu's side, its head heavily hitting the ground, making a dull sound in the darkness.
The corpse wolf let out a low and hoarse howl. It didn't feel any pain, but it knew that something was wrong. It seemed to be in a hurry. It didn't have any blood on its severed limbs, only a small amount of black liquid dripping onto the ground.
Swoosh! A sword light slashed through the air, and it was Yao Yaoh. She held a long sword in her hand, and like Chen Yu, she slashed at the back of the corpse wolf's leg.
Yao Yaoh was shocked.
The zombie wolf couldn't move at all, so it turned around and bared its fangs at Chen Yu and Luo Yuan. It actually bounced up again, but this time, it lost a pair of claws and its accuracy and speed were not enough.
Shua, the sword light rose up again and hit the leg of the dead wolf directly. Half of its hind leg was cut off by Chen Yu. Immediately, Chen Yu swam around the zombie wolf that had lost its ability to move, and chopped off the last claw of the zombie wolf.
The corpse wolf that had lost all four limbs was still vicious and rolled on the ground. It still wanted to bite the Chen Yu duo, but to no avail.
Chen Yu hacked a few more times, but could only helplessly discover that he was unable to hack the corpse wolf's torso. Its bones were too hard, its four limbs were fine, but its bones were thin, but its torso and other parts were extremely sturdy, with the sharpness of the Wind Stabilization Blade, they were unable to hack the corpse wolf apart. On the contrary, after the Wind Stabilization Blade hacked the corpse wolf again and again, it was more or less injured.
Chen Yu had no choice but to call the Flamingo to fall on it and repeatedly burn it.
After burning it for more than ten minutes, the corpse wolf finally stopped moving. The purple fire in Chen Yu's eyes extinguished and what pained him was that while the Flamingo burned the corpse wolf, the consumption rate was extremely high and the spirit flame had already dimmed.
Chen Yu kept his Flamingo and stared at the corpse wolf that had been burnt into a black skeleton for a while. Then, he looked at the vague shape of the sarcophagus in the space.
A corpse wolf was already so hard to deal with. If every sarcophagus here were filled with Corpse Beast, then the situation would be extremely dangerous.
"Chen Yu!" Yao Yaoh also thought of this question, her voice trembling. "Can you see how many sarcophaguses there are here?"
"I don't know!" Chen Yu gave a wry smile, "Twenty or thirty people at least!"
"I feel that we …" Yao Yaoh's intention to retreat had already surfaced. "It's better for us to leave this place as soon as possible!"
"These sarcophaguses shouldn't be opened by themselves. We shouldn't be in a hurry to leave!" Chen Yu shook his head, let out a long breath and walked to the center of the two sarcophaguses.
"You still want to open the coffin?" Yao Yaoh saw through Chen Yu's plan and exclaimed in shock.
Chen Yu said, "Let's see how many sarcophaguses there are. Follow me!"
Yao Yaoh opened her mouth, she just wanted to leave quickly, but the Evil Qi here was too dense, without Chen Yu's Star Soul, it would be hard for her to even take a single step, she could only follow along.
Therefore, he saw that there were a total of 21 sarcophaguses here. Every seven sarcophaguses, divided into three groups, and in the middle, there was a bigger sarcophagus. The sarcophagus was undoubtedly the main one. As for the others, they could only be considered as accompanying the sarcophagus.
Every sarcophagus, whether it was the lid or the walls of the sarcophagus, were covered in dense runes. A dense yin energy was gathering in every sarcophagus.
And the sarcophagus that Chen Yu initially opened was only a coffin in the most corner … …
Twenty-one coffins surrounded the main coffin. This scene made Chen Yu's scalp tingle. If the coffin at the edge of the coffin was already filled with Corpse Wolves, then how scary would the one inside be?
All of a sudden, Chen Yu had the urge to run for his life.
Standing not far from the main coffin, Chen Yu's expression changed.
Leaving now seemed to be the safest option, but was it really safe?
No one knew how long these sarcophaguses had been here, accumulating and absorbing Yin Qi over the years. No matter what the motive of the people who placed these sarcophaguses was, Chen Yu felt that their objective had been achieved. This was determined by combining the news of the Holy Yin Fruit and his many experiences in the ancient battlefield!
The existence of these sarcophaguses was so nefarious and bizarre, they definitely could not attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Ruling Spirit Sect, Langya Sword Sect, and Autumn Martial School. In other words, their existence could not be exposed!
For a long time, the three great sects had bound their Profound Dark Stage experts to come to the ancient battlefield because of the agreement they had reached. And without Profound Dark Stage experts, ordinary Spirit Accumulation Stage practitioners would not have the ability to penetrate deep into this mine tunnel. It was precisely because of this premise that these sarcophaguses were not discovered.
But this time, news of the Holy Yin Fruit caused a large number of Three Sects disciples to go deeper into the mines!
"The mastermind is very close to these sarcophaguses. What is his purpose?" He's not afraid that the existence of these sarcophaguses will be exposed! " Chen Yu quickly thought about it. With Bloodfire Emperor's experience in life and his own experience, his thinking ability could be said to be far better than an ordinary person's. However, at this moment, he felt that everything was just like a fog.
However, Chen Yu knew he had to confirm something. He decided to advance or retreat. After all, he didn't want to die here.
"Why aren't you afraid of being exposed? could it be that they had the absolute confidence to make all the Three Sects disciples unable to leave, and all of them died here? Or perhaps, the purpose of the masterminds has already been achieved, and these sarcophaguses will soon lose their meaning. " Chen Yu thought quickly, "Or maybe, both at the same time?"
"It must be, both of them!" Chen Yu muttered: "Lih Heequan has Mighty Glass Lamp as a bodyguard, and Zuo Yan'er also has a powerful and mysterious Profound Artifact. Even the elites of Three Sects disciples have their own trump cards."
"No matter how strong the mastermind is, he might not be able to keep all of them when Lih Heequan and the rest are trying to escape. So, these sarcophaguses will lose their meaning very soon, will the Corpse Beast inside the sarcophagus break out? "
Chen Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Junior Brother Chen?" Yao Yaoh's face was also filled with worry as she watched Chen Yu ponder.
"Open the coffin!" Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
Yao Yaoh jumped in fright. "Continue opening these sarcophaguses?"
"En!" Chen Yu walked towards a sarcophagus at the side.
"Junior Brother Chen, have you thought about it properly? If the monster that came out was stronger than that corpse wolf, the two of us might be dead here!" Yao Yaoh gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"Let's give it a try!" Chen Yu also gritted his teeth and said: "If we go any deeper, the mastermind probably wants to see it. We won't let him do as he pleases and we can kill every monster in the sarcophagus. When all the monsters in there attack, we can reduce the pressure a little, and maybe even have a chance of survival! "
"Junior Brother Chen!" Yao Yaoh shook her head, obviously disagreeing with Chen Yu's judgment.
"If Senior Sister Yao feels uneasy, you can either retreat or go deeper!" Chen Yu said.
Yao Yaoh let out a faint sigh and said, "Junior Brother Chen thinks that without you around, how long would I be able to live?"
Chen Yu steeled his heart and laughed, "Then, Senior Sister, just follow me. Even if we die together, we can be considered a pair of lovebirds!"
"Pah, who's the same life as you?" Yao Yaoh scolded, her face flushing red as she felt a sense of relief in her heart.
Chen Yu smiled, took out a knife and pressed it against the coffin's lid, then pushed it away.
With his previous experience, Chen Yu didn't take any further action after opening up the sarcophagus. He was only waiting for the dense and vicious yin aura inside to leak out.
When the Yin Qi was more or less finished, Chen Yu opened the coffin lid and the Star Soul entered it.
"Wuu wuu." The Star Soul's starlight shone, and the shrill sound of the Yin Demon came from inside the coffin. Then, a black shadow jumped out of the coffin and pounced towards the Star Soul.
The black shadow was in the shape of a human, but it wore a scaled armor. Its face was fierce, and its teeth were green. Its arms were extremely long. Its entire body was exuding an extremely dense Baleful Yin Force.
Under the shine of the starlight, the scales on the surface of the black shadow's body disintegrated into smoke, but they were purified by the starlight.
"Yin Demon!" Yao Yaoh exclaimed in surprise. She did not expect that the Corpse Beast in the sarcophagus was not a Corpse Beast but a Yin Demon, and its aura was extremely strong, far surpassing those of the Yin Demon of the Duke Level she had encountered before.
The Yin Demon threw itself at the Star Soul, the surface of its body continuously vaporized into smoke, and when it reached the bottom of the Star Soul, it swiped its claws towards the Star Soul, releasing a strong Yin Qi along with the claws, ripping the Star Soul apart.
Chen Yu did not dare to be negligent and immediately urged his Flamingo to rush over.
After Yao Yaoh had recovered from her shock, she summoned the Three-tailed Green Fox. At the same time, she made a seal with her hands, causing the Spiritual Dipper to pour down from her fingertips, transforming into a circulating energy that coiled around the Yin Demon.
The Yin Demon flew around in the air, continuously attacking the Star Soul and ripping it into pieces. However, it was so close to the Star Soul that the starlight it was enduring was obviously stronger, thus its body could not help but turn into smoke.
At this time, the Flamingo and the Three-tailed Green Fox rushed forward, knocking the Yin Demon's body away. The flame flowed and the fox tail cut, and the Yin Demon's body was also split into several pieces. After being exposed to the starlight, the Yin Demon let out a miserable howl.
The Yin Demon that were swimming in the distance gathered over, but they were circling around the outer perimeter of the starlight, not daring to get any closer.
Very quickly, the Yin Demon's body turned into smoke, and became smaller and smaller, until it was completely melted by the starlight.
A Death Soul Bead fell into the air.
Yao Yaoh used the Spiritual Dipper to wrap around the Death Soul Bead and put it into her hands. This Death Soul Bead, on the other hand, was clearly larger than the ones she had obtained previously.
