Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 216 Sacrifice (Sixth update, please subscribe!!)

Ye Xuan, who had entered the maze, stopped again.

His eyes moved, and the blue-veined sword in his right hand suddenly slashed to the side, easily cutting a black shadow that was rushing towards him into two halves.

The black shadow corpse fell to the ground, revealing its true form, which was actually a demon rat with a pitch-black aura all over its body.

But in the next moment, the two halves of the demon rat's body turned into black mist and dissipated.

Ye Xuan glanced away, with no joy on his face, but instead a frown on his face.

Including this fog rat transformed from the black gas, he has killed the sixty-ninth one.

However, these demon rats are not real flesh and blood, but are condensed from the Yin energy of this place. Although they have no intelligence, their cultivation is not low, all at around the True Spirit Realm, and without souls, they are fearless and unafraid of death.

At this time, not far from Ye Xuan, Tao He and Zhang Shu also looked pale and suspicious.

The three of them had been separated from Datan and the others in this maze. It seemed that there were special confusions and prohibitions here.

After Xuan and the other two walked forward for a distance, they paused and stopped again, looking forward with expressions of surprise and doubt on their faces.

In front of them, there appeared a red cave about ten meters in size. The top and walls of the cave emitted a dark red light, and in the center stood a two-meter-high stone pillar.

The stone pillar was inconspicuous, but on it lay a dried corpse tightly tied with black iron chains.

The mummy had long purple hair and its body was purple and black. Its head was lowered so its face could not be seen, but its chest had been cut open and its internal organs were completely empty.

This situation was quite strange. Even though Tao He had experienced many battles, he was still shocked when he first saw it.

"Where do you want to go!" Ye Xuan suddenly turned around and looked, only to see Zhang Shu's body explosively retreating and suddenly crashing into a stone wall on the side. The strange thing was that the moment his body touched the stone wall, ripples appeared on the stone wall like water.

Zhang Shu's body flashed and entered the stone wall, disappearing without a trace.

"Looking for death!" Tao He threw a punch and then attacked again, but as soon as his fist hit the stone wall, the stone wall was as hard as steel and shook Tao He's punch back.

Tao He stepped back several steps, shocked, and then shouted angrily, "How did this guy do that?"

Zhang Shu easily sank into the stone wall, but Tao He was shaken back by the stone wall! ?

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, and mobilized the small spiritual sword in Zhang Shu's head with his mind, but the surrounding stone walls emitted a strange glow, blocking his mental control.

Ye Xuan looked a little suspicious, but then he snorted, "Let's see where you can escape to."

Although he was unable to use the Yuanshi Divine Sword to kill Zhang Shu, and was quite surprised by the strange energy fluctuations on the surrounding stone walls, he could accurately sense Zhang Shu's position through the Yuanshi Divine Sword!

"It seems that this Zhang Shu is really weird!"

A woman's pleasant voice sounded from behind, with a hint of surprise.

As the voice rang out, in the stone cave behind Ye Xuan and Tao He, the afterimage of a woman flashed, and when she came close to the two of them, the beautiful woman Yaoyao appeared.

"How did you find us?" Tao He was a little surprised.

Ye Xuan looked at the woman and thought of something vaguely.

“Haha, my martial soul is the Red-Gold Wolf King. Don’t you know that the ears of a demon wolf are extremely sensitive, let alone the Red-Gold Wolf King?” Yaoyao said.

Tao He scratched his head and chuckled.

Yaoyao then said, "Zhang Shu didn't completely deceive us. My brother and I have already found the teleportation array!"

"What? This is great!" Tao He was overjoyed, and Ye Xuan was also relieved, feeling fortunately that the trip was not in vain.

He frowned slightly and stared at the mummy in front of him again.

"Since we have found the teleportation array, let's leave. This corpse is a bit weird, and this underground palace should not be a good place." Ye Xuan said.

Tao He nodded, "I feel it too. It makes me feel uneasy."

But at this moment, Yaoyao heard what the two said, but rolled her eyes at them and said:
"It's not an ordinary dead body. It was sacrificed alive by someone using evil magic! Otherwise, have you ever seen flesh that has not rotted for such a long time?"

Yaoyao said this, looking at the mummy with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Living sacrifice?" Ye Xuan and the others were puzzled, only to see Yaoyao pointing a jade finger above her head.

Tao He looked up in confusion, but was stunned. Then he noticed a fuzzy pattern about ten feet in size above the cave.

It's just that it happened too long ago and was almost blown away by the cold wind, so they didn't notice it.

"This magic circle should be a kind of sacrifice of the devil, and it is a very ancient one."

Inside the cave, Yaoyao walked lightly up to the corpse, squinted her beautiful eyes at the mummy, and spoke slowly.

Ye Xuan sighed in his heart that disciples from big sects were far superior to warriors like them. They had a broad vision and a lot of experience.

"Hey, that's not right, there's something weird here..." Yaoyao suddenly said softly.

"What's wrong?" Tao He asked hurriedly.

“Well, you see, the technique used to engrave this magic circle is obviously that of a warrior in ancient times. It has been here for who knows how many years, but this mummy should not have been handed down from ancient times. It is probably only a few years old.” Yaoyao frowned slightly, and her thoughtful look was charming.

"You mean, sacrifices are often offered here?" Tao He suddenly asked excitedly.

"Hehe, this is just my one-sided opinion. Maybe I guessed wrong." Yaoyao suddenly giggled and blinked twice at Ye Xuan with her beautiful eyes.

Ye Xuan shrugged. These disciples from big sects always thought they were unfathomable and liked to act mysterious. He did not continue to ask, but said, "No matter whether this magic circle and the corpse are strange or not, it has nothing to do with us. We should not stay here for long, let's go!"

Having said that, Ye Xuan turned and walked out of the cave.

"I have sprinkled pollen on the way here, and the pollen can lead the way." Yaoyao said, and walked towards the exit with lotus steps.

But when he was approaching the exit, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped again, turned around and took another look at the mummy.

"Is there any problem?" Tao He asked with a pale face when he saw this.

Here, his cultivation and combat power are the lowest. When he saw Ye Xuan's appearance, he subconsciously felt uneasy.

A trace of doubt flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes. He shook his head and said, "Nothing. Let's go."

As Ye Xuan spoke, he suddenly raised one hand and pointed his index finger in the distance.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed at his fingertips, and an arc of energy suddenly shot out and hit the mummy on the stone pillar in the distance.

Under the gazes of Yaoyao and Tao Sheng, an arc of electric energy as thick as a finger hit the mummy, causing it to explode.

The mummy instantly disintegrated in the energy and turned into a pile of ashes.

"Let's go. It seems I've been worrying too much." Ye Xuan shook his head and said lightly.

Then he was the first to walk out of the cave.

Yaoyao chuckled and shook her head, glanced at the ashes on the ground, and followed him out.

Tao He hurriedly followed the two of them.

However, not long after the three of them walked away, a loud 'boom' suddenly sounded from somewhere inside the underground palace.

"Ah~~~!!" followed by an old man's shrill scream.

Ye Xuan and the other two looked at each other. The scream was obviously from Wu Qing! !
"Go!" Ye Xuan moved and rushed towards the direction of the scream.
