Catching Monsters

Chapter 556 Opening the Coffin
After placing the golden toad inside the door, Qi Xin turned around and glanced at the crowd behind her, then slowly said, "The friend who holds the last golden toad, step forward, or we will all die here."

It must be said that Qi Xinyi, being a master, is quite knowledgeable and knows that there is absolutely no time to dawdle at this moment.

After Qi Xinyi finished speaking, the room remained silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun, who was not far away, frowned deeply. Oh no, could it be that, just as he guessed, the last golden toad was not in the hands of this group of people?
Sitting beside him, Tuoba Anyi felt a chill run down his spine and whispered to Jiang Yun, "Brother Jiang, what do we do now? What should we do..."

"Don't rush." ​​Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "If the Golden Toad isn't among these people, then it's fine."

"Given the knowledge and experience of these many experts, they should know very well that if the Golden Toad isn't brought out now, everyone will die..."

As he was speaking, Jiang Yun's gaze suddenly fell on a person in the corner.

The man looked quite young, but his face was deathly pale. He was sitting on the ground, with large beads of sweat dripping down his face.

Hu Yuchen kept taking deep breaths, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the doorway, where the giant snake was constantly breaking down the door.

The last golden toad was in Hu Yuchen's hands.

This person had accidentally lured away the mantis for Jiang Yun and the others. In order to save his own life, he pushed his two junior sisters, who had entered the Holy Tomb with him, towards the mantis.

It's okay if you can't outrun that praying mantis.

As long as I can outrun my two junior sisters, that's fine.

This person was quite lucky; after surviving the mantis monster, he quickly entered a cave.

At that time, all the demons inside the cave had already come out in full force and slaughtered those who entered the sacred tomb.

Just then, the cave was free of monsters, and he was so lucky that he caught a golden toad. Then, following the guidance of the star path, he arrived at this hall.

At this moment, Hu Yuchen knew very well that if he stepped forward and opened this door, then the opportunity to become a sage would have nothing to do with him.

Any one of the many experts present could easily take his life.

He is just an insignificant nobody here.

And it was precisely because of this that Hu Yuchen made up his mind to go all out!

Once those demonic beasts enter, they will slaughter all these top experts. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will use the golden toad in my hand to open the gate.

At that time, the sage will be able to enjoy the opportunity alone.

Hu Yuchen was well aware of the dangers involved; he might not be able to survive the attack by so many demonic beasts.

But compared to the immense temptation of gaining the opportunity to become a sage, this danger seems insignificant.

He remained silent throughout, and even if they searched him one by one, the cave door wouldn't hold off the monsters for long, and they might not be able to find him.

Tuoba Anyi followed Jiang Yun's gaze and looked at Hu Yuchen. Soon, Tuoba Anyi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There's something wrong with this person."

"Even though it was so dangerous, his gaze wasn't on the monsters outside the door; instead, he kept glancing at the other people."

Tuoba Anyi stood up immediately: "Let's go, let's go take a look."

Jiang Yun shook her head slightly, a smile on her face, and said, "We don't need to. Qiao Chengxuan has already noticed his strange behavior."

Just as Hu Yuchen was deep in thought, Qiao Chengxuan appeared beside him without him noticing. Qiao Chengxuan put his hand on Hu Yuchen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Friend, it might be dangerous if the monsters rush in later. It seems like you're alone. Why don't you come with me and keep me company?"

Hu Yuchen was startled by Qiao Chengxuan's sudden appearance. He quickly got up and prepared to move to a safer place: "I don't know you."

Qiao Chengxuan, however, held his hand tightly: "If we chat more, we'll get to know each other, won't we?"

"You!" Hu Yuchen wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare to, because Qiao Chengxuan was much stronger than him.

Qiao Chengxuan suddenly attacked, punching him hard in the abdomen, causing Hu Yuchen to curl up on the ground in pain, clutching his stomach.

Qiao Chengxuan's eyes also turned cold. The many experts present were not fools; Hu Yuchen's appearance was too strange.

Soon, Qiao Chengxuan reached out and began to search Hu Yuchen's body. Sure enough, in no time, he found the golden toad on him.

"This golden toad is mine!" Seeing the golden toad being taken away, Hu Yuchen became furious, rushed forward, and bit Qiao Chengxuan's arm hard.

However, Qiao Chengxuan was a first-grade martial arts cultivator, and his physical strength far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

Seeing that this guy still dared to bite him, Qiao Chengxuan also got angry and threw a punch, which slammed hard into Hu Yuchen's chest.

With a loud bang, even without magic power, Qiao Chengxuan's strength was far beyond what Hu Yuchen could withstand.

In an instant, Hu Yuchen was sent flying backward, a large crater appearing in his chest, and he kept spitting out blood.

"Hmph." Qiao Chengxuan was too lazy to continue arguing with this guy, knowing that the giant python was about to enter.

The walls surrounding the stone gate are riddled with cracks and could collapse at any moment.

Qiao Chengxuan quickly arrived at the door that needed to be opened by the golden toad and placed the last golden toad inside.

Jiang Yun and Tuoba Anyi exchanged a glance, and both of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Soon, the sound of a mechanism clicking came from inside the door, and then the door slowly opened.

The moment the gate opened, the strange phenomenon above the sacred tomb rose again, and the power that had been draining everyone's magical energy completely disappeared.

My magic power has been restored.

At the same time, with a loud crash, the door was smashed open by the giant python, and more than a dozen demonic beasts, their eyes still filled with murderous intent, attacked them.

"call."

Suddenly, a powerful sword aura was unleashed, accompanied by intense frost.

In an instant, the frost carried by the sword energy alone froze all the demonic beasts.

All the monsters remained where they were, their bodies covered in a thick layer of frost, like ice sculptures.

The one who made the move was Qi Xinyi, the Snow Mountain Sword God.

When they lacked magical power, these monsters were indeed incredibly ferocious. However, these top experts of the era, once they regained their magical power...

With just one sword strike, these demonic beasts could be annihilated.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's pupils contracted slightly. With these guys regaining their magic power, the danger level of the entire Sacred Tomb had increased exponentially, at least for him and Tuoba Anyi. At the same time, Qiao Chengxuan took the lead and was the first to rush into the door. Seeing this, the others, having regained their magic power, were not to be outdone, and in the blink of an eye, the group rushed in in a mighty procession.

Qin Hong turned to Xiao Jingqing and said, "Eighth Prince, this servant will go in first to avoid these guys getting ahead of us. Please catch up as soon as possible."

After saying that, Qin Hong gathered his magic power between his legs and instantly plunged it into them.

Xiao Jingqing and his men quickly followed, and soon, only Jiang Yun and the others, along with the dying Hu Yuchen, remained in the hall.

"Should we bring the eldest prince in with us?" Vulture asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Yun remained silent for a moment, then looked at the unconscious Crown Prince and nodded: "Since we're already here..."

After saying that, Vulture carried the eldest prince and walked with Jiang Yun into the door.

As for Tuoba Anyi and Tuoba Kun, once the door opened, they didn't care about Jiang Yun and the others and rushed inside immediately.

After Jiang Yun walked through this door, there was a passage that was about two miles long.

But after passing through the passage, a completely different world opened up before them.

This is an enormous cavern, with a huge luminous pearl overhead, which acts as the sun in this place.

River, lawn, trees, flowers, and even some butterflies and insects. In the distance, there is even a small fenced yard with a thatched hut inside.

These scenes are common in the countryside.

However, a huge coffin floated in the air above the cave.

The coffin is four meters long and two meters wide, pure black in color, and made of an unknown material. It is covered with countless intricate patterns.

Once inside, everyone stood on the lawn and looked up at the enormous coffin.

A strong sense of anticipation appeared in the vulture's eyes, and it even wanted to abandon Xiao Jingzhi and try its luck with this opportunity to become a saint.

Jiang Yun was quite sensible and didn't dare to approach them at all. Among these top experts, who was a pushover?
Who wouldn't want to obtain this legendary opportunity with a sage?

A major fight is bound to happen.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun gestured to Vulture to lead Xiao Jingzhi back a bit, so that they wouldn't get caught in the crossfire if these guys started fighting.

The many experts present exchanged glances; those below the first rank were out of the question.

At this time, among the fifty-odd people, nearly twenty were experts who had reached the first rank.

These twenty people are the ones who truly have the power to seize the opportunity to become a sage.

As for the others, most of them came hoping for good luck.

What if.

What if I am the one who ultimately receives this opportunity from a sage?
Most people who come here do so with this mindset.

Finally, someone couldn't sit still any longer. Qi Xin leaped forward in an instant and sped toward the saint's coffin.

Xie Yifeng drew his longsword and suddenly unleashed a powerful sword aura: "Qi Xinyi, you've been cultivating in the icy mountains for years, your heart is as still as water, why are you in such a hurry today?"

Qi Xin quickly dodged the sword energy, her eyes filled with anger: "Xie Yifeng, what do you mean by this?"

In an instant, numerous experts flew towards the coffin, and all of them attacked, regardless of friend or foe, unleashing their magical power in all directions.

The clash of magical powers from so many top experts instantly created a powerful shockwave.

The shockwave alone nearly knocked Jiang Yun and the vulture over.

As for those closer who didn't have enough magical power, they would probably have been seriously injured by the shockwave if they hadn't used their magic to protect themselves in time.

Qin Hong, however, was sharp-eyed and did not rush forward to seize this opportunity. Instead, he protected Xiao Jingqing's life.

Otherwise, with Xiao Jingqing's strength, he wouldn't even be able to withstand the fluctuation of this magical power.

In the air above the cave, around the coffin, nearly twenty experts at the first-grade level continuously bombarded and attacked each other.

There was no clear friend or foe; everyone wanted to be the first to rush to the coffin's side.

But the more people who could fly to the coffin, the more people would surround it.

The powerful magic surged wildly, causing the entire cave to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.

Seeing the power of this group's attack, Jiang Yun couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. He had to admit that the saint who built the sacred tomb back then was quite farsighted.

All of his cultivation was sealed off in advance.

Otherwise, given the commotion caused by this group fighting, finding this place would be impossible.

The entire Holy Tomb had long been destroyed and collapsed by this group of people.

"Hiss." Just then, the eldest prince, Xiao Jingzhi, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes. He felt pain and vibration in his thigh.

"Brother Jiang, what's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

Xiao Jingzhi slowly sat up, but looking at the terrifying scene of so many experts fighting in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly closed his eyes: "I'll sleep a little longer."

Jiang Yun hurriedly said, "You can't sleep now, Your Highness. You'll be with Vulture later. If anything happens, we'll be right at the door, ready to escape at any time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingzhi's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Many experts were fighting fiercely at this time. Among them, Xue Qianyi found an opportunity and was the first to rush to the side of the coffin. Then he raised his palm and slammed it out.

With a loud bang, the coffin lid flew off instantly.

"A sage's opportunity!" Xue Qianyi quickly looked into the coffin.

But upon closer inspection, they were slightly taken aback.

Because lying in the coffin was a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white.
