Chapter 290: Xuanyin Jade Coffin, Green-faced Zombie [Subscribe]

The twists and turns of the underground tomb exploration journey also touched Zhou Chun deeply.

This was the first time he personally participated in an exploration of the ancient tomb.

Although he did not go down into the mausoleum in person, through Zhou Mingde's real-time narration, he was indirectly involved in all the actions.

The various arrangements and changes inside the underground mausoleum undoubtedly opened his eyes.

Just from Zhou Mingde's narration and by looking at the injuries on the three people's bodies after they returned, he could imagine the danger involved.

In order to protect his tomb from being dug up and stolen, a Jindan-stage monk took great pains to set up various deadly moves.

In order to get the treasures in the tomb, these younger generations can only use each move to break it and take risks.

Only those who have experienced it will understand the danger.

It can be said that if one is not careful, one will die in the mausoleum and be buried with the tomb owner whose name is not even known!

But even so, places like ancient caves and ancient tombs are still the favorite adventure destinations for cultivators.

Because in places like this, the rewards are often directly proportional to the risks, or even the rewards completely exceed the risks.

Throughout the countless years of history of the world of immortal cultivation, there have been many immortal cultivators who have inherited treasures that will benefit them for the rest of their lives by exploring and conquering an ancient cave or tomb.

For example, the ancestor of the Zhou family who founded the Zhou family back then also inherited the art of taming beasts by exploring an ancient cave, and from it he got the opportunity to form a pill.

Another example is the now famous Jindan cultivator "Tian Jing San Ren" in Jingguo. When he was in the Purple Mansion period, he entered an ancient cultivator's tomb and obtained amazing wealth and treasures from it. After that, he soared to the sky and achieved his current fame.

With these real examples in front of them, how could Purple Mansion Stage cultivators like Zhou Mingde be willing to leave such a Golden Core Stage cultivator's tomb unexplored?

Even though they were all injured, with Shen Borong having a broken arm, no one was willing to give up and continue exploring.

For monks like them, as long as they don't lose their lives, injuries like broken arms and legs are actually not a big deal.

There is no shortage of elixirs that can regenerate severed limbs in the world of immortal cultivation. The prices of those spiritual objects may not be cheap, but cultivators in the Purple Mansion Stage can certainly afford them.

After returning to the ground, the few people discussed and decided to let Zhou Chun and the other two stay in the valley to maintain the formation and hide the deep pit.

To be on the safe side, Zhou Mingde also left the Fire God Jackal to guard it, in case the Earth Armored Dragon came out to attack Zhou Chun and others.

Afterwards, Zhou Mingde and the other two went to the nearest stronghold to recuperate.

And on the second day after Zhou Mingde and the other two left, the earth armored dragon appeared again.

However, with the presence of the Fire God Jackal, it was discovered as soon as it showed its head and was beaten back.

Then it tried to collapse the soil near the deep pit in an attempt to fill it up.

However, Zhou Chun and the other two worked together to pull up the collapsed soil, and used it to expand the area of ​​the pit.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the earth dragon calmed down and stopped causing trouble.

On the other hand, Zhou Mingde and the other two were probably also worried that the night might be too long and might cause more trouble.

After treating their injuries and resting for three days, the three returned to the underground mausoleum.

It has to be said that the recovery ability of Purple Mansion Stage cultivators is really strong.

Only three days had passed, and most of the flesh and blood bitten off by the alien insects had grown back for Zhou Mingde and others. Only Shen Borong's broken right arm could not be restored for the time being due to limited conditions.

The injuries on the Fire God Jackal have all healed and no longer affect the battle.

After communicating with Zhou Chun and the other three younger generations and understanding what had happened in the past three days, Zhou Mingde and the other two went down into the underground mausoleum again.

Three days later, the stone wall that the three men had broken through had been blocked by the earth armored dragon.

However, without the protection of the formation, the stone blocking the gap could not stop the three Purple Mansion Stage cultivators at all.

It didn't take much effort for the three of them to once again find themselves in the corridor littered with insect corpses.

"Let's get started. We must break this stone door today!"

Zhou Mingde let out a low growl and took the lead in attacking.

Obviously, those pale golden alien insects last time were the last means of defense in this corridor. This time, the attack by Zhou Mingde and others did not trigger any other reactions.

However, the defense of the stone gate was much stronger than everyone expected.

Zhou Mingde and his two companions, together with the Fire God Jackal, attacked together for nearly four hours, consuming nearly half of their own magic power before they finally broke the stone door!
When the stone door was broken, the scenery inside was no longer obstructed and appeared in the sight of the three people.

I saw that the layout inside the stone gate was similar to that of a palace, with domes, pillars, pools and other decorations.

And in the deepest part of this palace, there is a black jade coffin.

However, Zhou Mingde and others scanned the space inside the stone gate with their eyes and spiritual sense, but did not find the existence of the earth armored dragon.

They had originally expected that the earth dragon should be waiting for them in the main tomb chamber.

"The jade coffin made of Xuanyin Jade, it seems that we have encountered the most difficult thing to deal with!"

Zhou Mingde's eyes fell on the black jade coffin and he spoke in a low voice.

Xuanyin Jade is a spiritual object with strong yin energy, and is a favorite of monks who raise ghosts and refine corpses.

The ghost jars and corpse coffins made with this material have a significant nourishing effect on the growth of ghosts and corpses.

Normally speaking, no immortal cultivator would place his or her remains in the Xuanyin Jade Coffin, because that would easily cause his or her remains to transform into a zombie.

But if a cultivator did this, it means that he wanted to turn his remains into zombie evil creatures to serve as the final guardian of the tomb.

What Zhou Mingde meant by saying this at this time was obviously that he suspected the tomb owner had deliberately used this method to transform himself into a zombie to guard the tomb.

Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang also agreed with his statement.

Then Shen Borong said with a gloomy face: "There is no treasure in here. Apparently that guy put everything into the storage bag and put it in the coffin!"

"He was at the Jindan stage when he was alive. If he transformed into a zombie afterwards, even if he didn't reach the fourth level, after so many years, I'm afraid he would have the strength of the third level."

“If he deliberately left some other means to enhance the zombies’ combat power, even a cultivator in the late Purple Mansion period might not be able to take him down!”

His statement is also based on the worst-case scenario.

However, after hearing what he said, Zhou Mingde said in a deep voice: "Zombies are dead things after all, and they don't have real intelligence. As long as their cultivation is not at the fourth level, the three of us may be able to deal with them together. What we need to worry about is that when we deal with the zombies, the earth dragon will also come out to cause trouble!"

After these words came out, Ruan Hongzhuang, who had not spoken yet, nodded repeatedly and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is right. If the earth dragon cooperates with the zombies to attack, we will have no chance of winning!" "Then what should we do now? We don't know where the earth dragon is hiding now, and we don't know whether there are zombies in the coffin. Where should we start now?"

Shen Borong frowned and asked in a low voice about the next plan.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately replied: "Let's recover our magic power first, and then think about how to deal with the Earth Armor Dragon and the possible zombies!"

This is the safest way, and naturally no one objects.

Immediately, the three of them did not enter the stone gate, but retreated directly to the cave hall outside to take Huiyuan Dan to restore their magic power.

After half a day, the three men, whose magic power and spirit had recovered to full, began to discuss entering the main tomb chamber to take the treasure.

Now that things have come to this, no one is willing to back down.

However, the dangers of obtaining the treasure must be considered.

“How about calling the three juniors down to help? Even though their strength is not that great, the three of them together can still be of some help and divert some attention!”

During the discussion, Shen Borong suddenly suggested calling Zhou Chun and three other juniors on the ground to come down to help.

But as soon as he said this, he was strongly opposed by Zhou Mingde.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please don't mention this again! Those juniors are only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How can they participate in such an action? Isn't this asking them to come and die?"

He didn't know what the relationship between Shen Borong and that junior was, but he would never let Zhou Chun come down and take risks.

Compared to Zhou Chun's safety, he wouldn't even want the treasures in the tomb!
Ruan Hongzhuang also stood by his side again at this time, and immediately said: "I also think this matter is inappropriate. If those juniors get involved, we may have to distract ourselves to take care of their safety, which will only cause trouble for ourselves!"

Obviously, she also cares about her junior and doesn't want him to take risks.

This proposal was opposed by the two, and Shen Borong could not insist any longer, so he had to think of other solutions.

In the end, after much discussion, the three of them still couldn't come up with a good solution.

So Zhou Mingde finally made the decision to open the coffin first to check the quality of the zombie inside.

If the zombies are really strong and they don't have much chance of winning, they can only retreat first and prepare things to fight against the zombies before coming back.

If the zombies are not as strong as expected, you can try to kill them and take the treasure.

After the plan was made, the three of them no longer hesitated and immediately stepped through the broken stone door and walked into the main tomb chamber inside.

Only after actually entering the main tomb chamber were the three able to truly see the entire scene inside.

Although there were no obvious treasures in the tomb, the materials used to build it were not simple.

Whether it is the stones on the ground or the materials of the surrounding stone walls, they are all made of diamond rock, and the pillars are all made of earth stone.

Both materials are known for their hardness, so hard that even a second-level flying sword has difficulty breaking through it.

Looking at the Xuanyin Jade Coffin again at this time, one can see that the lid and the bottom of the coffin are painted with mysterious and complex light golden spiritual patterns. Shen Borong recognized that they are spiritual patterns that can suppress evil.

From this perspective, the tomb owner was not a very bad person.

He used the evil-suppressing spirit pattern to suppress the Xuanyin Jade Coffin. Even if zombies were born inside, they would not leave the mausoleum and harm living beings.

Of course, this could also be his way of protecting himself.

After all, if the zombies really left the tomb and harmed living beings, it is very likely that his tomb would have been discovered and destroyed long ago.

"If you want to get the treasure, you have to open the coffin. Opening the coffin will wake up the zombies inside. That guy has calculated everything!"

Shen Borong stared at the Xuanyin Jade Coffin with cold eyes and a very unhappy tone.

Now that he has a broken arm, he is filled with resentment towards the remains of the tomb owner in the coffin.

"Let's get ready. Once everyone is ready, we can open the coffin!"

Zhou Mingde ignored Shen Borong's resentment, said a few words, and started to prepare on his own.

After the three of them were ready, Zhou Mingde gave an order and the Fire God Jackal quickly pounced forward and knocked the Xuanyin Jade Coffin over with one palm.

Bang!
The Xuanyin Jade Coffin flipped several times in the air and fell heavily to the ground. The coffin lid, which was originally tightly closed, seemed to loosen.

A strange aura suddenly emanated from the coffin and was instantly captured by the spiritual sense of Zhou Mingde and the other two.

"It really turned into a zombie!"

Shen Borong gave a low shout and had already summoned the magic weapon and hung it above his head.

The things inside the Xuanyin Jade Coffin did not make them wait long. Soon, accompanied by a muffled sound, the lid of the Xuanyin Jade Coffin was slapped into the air by someone from inside.

Immediately afterwards, a green-faced zombie wearing a green robe jumped out of the coffin and pounced directly towards the nearest fire god jackal.

Although the green-faced zombie was very fast, Zhou Mingde and the other two still managed to scan its entire body instantly using their spiritual sense.

As expected, on the slightly bulging chest of the green-faced zombie, there was an exquisitely shaped storage bag and a spirit beast bag. It was obvious from their appearance that they were high-end goods.

But if you want to get the two bags, you must first defeat and kill the green-faced zombie.

Soon, the first fight between the Green-Faced Zombie and the Fire Jackal made the three of them's eyelids jump.

The Fire God Jackal was a third-level monster and had been warned in advance by its master, so its reaction speed was naturally very fast.

As soon as the green-faced zombie pounced, it reacted quickly, raised its flaming wolf claws and slammed it hard on the opponent's shoulder.

This powerful blow immediately sent the green-faced zombie flying.

But such a claw that was powerful enough to injure a third-rank monster like the Earth Armored Dragon could not even tear the robes on the Green-faced Zombie!

The green-faced zombie showed no signs of being injured at all. It immediately roared and pounced on the Fire God Jackal again.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde immediately shouted, "Let's do it together!"

As he said that, he activated his magic weapon and attacked the green-faced zombie.

When Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang saw this scene, they no longer hesitated and immediately joined forces to beat up the green-faced zombie.

But at this moment, the expected thing happened.

But there was a flash of yellow light, and the figure of the earth armored dragon suddenly appeared in the main tomb chamber and directly attacked the three people.
