The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 197 The sudden appearance of enemies

Deep inside the tomb, Ying was holding a black rock sword, staring at the stone door full of cracks as if facing a formidable enemy. Dainsreb, who had already assumed a fighting stance, listened solemnly to the sound coming from the other side of the stone door. This sound was completely different from the sound made by the abyss monsters he was familiar with.

Could it be that a new monster has appeared in the abyss? An idea popped up in Dainsleb's mind, but he quickly rejected it. He had been investigating the abyss for so long, if there really was a new monster, he would not be able to fail to notice any clues.

If it wasn't a new monster, what kind of enemy could be on the other side of the door? Dainsleb's brain was working quickly, but the enemy on the other side of the door didn't give him time to think.

With a loud bang, the stone door blocking Ying and Dainsreb collapsed. In the smoke and dust, a thin figure slowly appeared in front of the two. When the smoke and dust dissipated, Dainsreb's pupils shrank when he saw the enemy standing in the smoke and dust, and he lost his voice.

"How can this be!"

While Dainsleb was shocked, at the entrance of the tomb, Eula picked up a treasure from the many treasures beside her, on which was engraved the family emblem of the Lawrence family.

When the Lawrence family emblem and the pine sword in his hand rang, these two things confirmed Eula's guess that this tomb was most likely the burial place of that ancestor.

"This time, I will never let those damn tomb robbers go!"

Now that they had guessed which Lawrence ancestor the tomb belonged to, Eula naturally wouldn't let go of the guy who broke in. Klee, who had been confused at the side, saw Eula clenching her fists as if she was going to fight. Klee's eyes lit up, and she imitated Eula, clenching her fists and speaking fiercely.

"Yes, I will never let you go."

Seeing that Eula and Klee, one big and one small, were moving in unison, Ruo Jin hadn't even laughed a few times when a strong breath of the abyss suddenly entered his perception range. For an instant, the expression on Ruo Jin's face froze.

Worried that he had sensed it wrong, Ruo Jin deliberately used his earth vein perception to sense deeply in the direction of the abyss breath. As a result, Ruo Jin was shocked by the concentration of the abyss power he sensed.

When he was searching for immortals in Liyue before, he had encountered many short-legged creatures like the Abyss Mages. If the Abyss power in those short-legged creatures was like a cup of water, then the Abyss power he sensed was like a tank of water.

"Boss Ruota, my leyline perception is affected by the power of the abyss and I can't sense what's there. Can you sense it?"

"Hmm? Jin boy, you can't do this. Don't just focus on learning immortal arts. You have to practice other abilities as well."

Inside the seal, King Ruotu closed his eyes, and the powerful perception of the earth veins quickly spread along Ruojin's feet to the surroundings. After a few breaths, King Ruotu opened his eyes, his tone a little puzzled.

"This is really strange. I actually sensed the breath of the traveler in that mass of abyssal power. Is there something wrong with my ground perception?"

"That's not right. The earth veins won't lie." The mutterings of the Dragon King Ruota entered Ruojin's mind. Ruojin's face changed. He looked at the Mora and treasures around him. With his understanding of Ying's ability to find treasure chests, it might not be surprising to find this place. Oh my god, the tomb robber is right next to me, right?

No, now is not the time to think about this. If Ruo Jin looked in the direction of the abyss power he sensed, he would see a cave inside the tomb. According to the design of the tomb, this cave should lead to the place where corpses were buried. No, he had to go and take a look. It would be bad if Ying was in danger.

"Eula, Amber, Walnut, and Klee, the four of you wait here for me. I may need to go deep into the tomb to deal with some things."

Ruojin said something to the four people with a serious expression and then disappeared into the dark cave. The private people who were a little confused by Ruojin's words looked at each other.

Except for Klee, the remaining three people knew that Ruojin suddenly ran into the cave because something must have happened in the cave. Ruojin didn't want the four of them to take risks, but Ruojin forgot that among these four people, three of them had the Fire Attribute Divine Eye.

How could a person who possesses the fire-attributed divine eye watch his friend go on an adventure alone? And as Ruojin was one of Eula's few friends, Eula naturally would not let Ruojin face danger alone. After looking at each other, Hu Tao and the other three rushed into the cave together.

When Ruojin was flying deep into the cave, within the seal, the Dragon King Ruotu rarely looked like he was thinking. In the perception of the earth veins just now, he not only sensed the breath of Ying, but he also sensed another breath on a high mountain not far from the tomb.

Originally, sensing the breath of other people nearby was not something worthy of his attention, but this breath was very similar to the breath of the traveler named Ying.

You must know that under the perception of the earth veins, the essence of a person's breath will not change because of the different powers used, unless you change the blood in your body. Otherwise, no matter whether you use elemental power, immortal power, or divine power, the essence of the breath can only be hidden and will not change.

Moreover, this breath seemed to be hiding from him. When King Tuolong wanted to sense this breath carefully, another breath of the abyss appeared beside this breath, and then this breath disappeared together with the breath of the abyss beside him.

King Ruota, who sensed this, did not tell Ruojin, because he was worried that after Ruojin knew the news, he would go out of his way to find out who that breath was. According to King Ruota's speculation, that breath was closely related to the abyss. Before Ruojin grew up, King Ruota did not want Ruojin to have too much contact with the abyss.

After all, the Abyss is a force that even Morax does not want to have too much contact with, and the Dragon King Rhodo, who only has the impression that the Abyss is dangerous and misleading, does not want to see his younger brother being bewitched by the Abyss.

While King Ruota was thinking, a slashing blow mixed with the power of the abyss was coming towards Ying from deep in the cave. Ying, who fell to the ground, rolled around a few times before she avoided the attack that could have seriously injured her. Dainsreb, who was standing by, took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack but was forced aside by another slashing blow.

Looking at the skeleton in front of her holding a Black Rock Sword and emitting purple-black abyss power, the dusty Ying almost cried. If she had known that this skeleton was so good at swordsmanship, she should not have learned to throw the Black Rock Sword in her hand for a sneak attack like Ruo Jin threw the Unforged Sword. Now, she has directly helped the enemy. Damn it.

"Well, it seems that our Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, the great hero of Liyue Harbor, the second wave of visitors to the Lawrence family's ancestral tomb, and the traveler from another world, Ying, needs a little help."
