Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

“Master Yuanxin, I have heard that your Buddhist teachings consistently preach compassion, but making a fish out of wood and hitting its head with a stick every day... isn’t that too cruel?”

Wu Xie felt as if a flock of crows had flown overhead, utterly speechless. In this emergency, he claimed he could help Wu Tianjiao, but instead he was preaching Buddhist teachings to everyone present! Truly... a "bald monk"....

However, Master Yuanxin did not directly answer Wu Xie's question. He seemed to be talking to himself. He slowed down the pace of his steps and fell to the back of the group. His face was solemn and serious, and he was holding a wooden fish in his palm!

With a flick of his wrist, Master Yuanxin held a string of brown Buddhist prayer beads between his two fingers. With each step forward, the beads between his fingers would strike the wooden fish above the wooden fish.

"In this vast world, there are countless kinds of fish, but most of them keep their eyes open all day long! This phenomenon is not ordinary. Our Buddhist masters have gleaned from it the path of self-discipline!"

"We take this meaning to demonstrate our diligence and dare not slacken in the slightest!"

As Yuanxin spoke, he shook his light yellow monk's robe, and his canvas shoes made a heavy "thump-thump!" sound as they stepped on the Shoushan stone slabs!

It seemed that with each step he took, he mustered all his strength and chanted Buddhist mantras in a low voice! The syllables, interspersed with the sounds of striking the wooden fish, created a rhythm that stirred a strange feeling in the hearts of everyone present!

"The six-syllable mantra can sever the cycle of reincarnation, transcend the three realms, and attain sainthood. It uses the Four Noble Ones as symbols of the Dharma!"

"Om" arises from the Bodhisattva's mind, initially entering the Ten Faiths stage, from which one progresses; "Ma" enters the Ten Abodes stage, from which one progresses; "Ni" enters the Ten Practices stage, and further progresses; "Pad" enters the Ten Dedications stage; "Mi" enters the Ten Grounds stage; "Hum" enters the Vajrayana and reaches the Great Enlightenment stage.

"Om Mani Padme Hum..."

As Master Yuanxin chanted, near the bronze coffin in the main burial chamber not far away!

General Chang Shiwan's surging chest and lungs began to slowly stagnate, the sound of his armor rubbing against the seventy-two bronze chains gradually weakened, and his pair of ferocious, murderous eyes began to slowly close!

The bronze crossbows arranged at the top of the walls around the main burial chamber fired continuously! Arrows as thick as a thumb flew past and pierced deeply into the surface of the bronze coffin!

The arrows of the Imperial Army's crossbows have been carefully polished, and their sharp tips can easily break through air resistance!

Lying on the ground, Wu Tianjiao endured the wind pressure whistling overhead. After about three rounds, there were no more strange noises in his ears.

After confirming that no more bronze crossbow bolts were being fired from the wall behind him, Wu Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the bluestone platform!

The scene inside the bronze coffin not far away was completely beyond his expectations. General Chang Shiwan's "armor" was pitted and covered with marks from being torn by bronze arrows!

However, that was all! Wu Tianjiao was utterly horrified. He subconsciously looked at the system in his mind:

"System! Just what kind of monster is this Chang Shiwan?"

"His physical body has reached a hardness comparable to 'metal.' Does he even qualify as 'organic matter' anymore? This is simply outrageous. These imperial crossbows are capable of piercing bronze coffins, yet they didn't leave a single wound on General Chang Shiwan's body?"

"Don't lie to me, even an elephant doesn't have this kind of defense!"

[Ding! Please...host...do not...]

[Sizzle....]

This time, however, Wu Tianjiao found that his brain system seemed to be trying to say something, but in the end, only a buzzing sound of electricity remained. This scene was very similar to the initial state of unstable signal!

Chapter 260: Host, please remain where you are and wait for the corpse to devour you.

Just then, Wu Tianjiao heard Master Yuanxin's words from behind him:

"Brother Tian, ​​the effect of my Buddhist ritual implement, the 'wooden fish,' is minimal. He may wake up again in a few minutes! This humble monk has done his best, and I hope Benefactor Qin will take care of himself!"

.........

However, just three breaths after Master Yuanxin finished speaking, General Chang Shiwan suddenly widened his eyes and his body trembled!

The bronze shackles binding the outside of his body snapped cleanly!

"Take care of yourself? Rat tail juice? Center... When did you become so unreliable?"

At the same time, Wu Tianjiao also felt the disappearance of the phantom in his mind. It seemed that the blessing of the Seven Corpse Fist of the Tomb Raider General's Secret Manual had just come at the right time!

In this case...

It's better to rely on yourself than on others!

Wu Tianjiao focused his attention on the Chi You bloodline in the system taskbar!

Looking at the item prompts in his mind, Wu Tianjiao realized that the current situation was exactly as he had predicted!

Master Yuanxin bought himself some time, just in time for the effects of General Faqiu's Seven Corpse Fist to wear off! His physical body returned to its original state!

When Wu Tianjiao first entered the main tomb chamber, he used the Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper Scroll of the Mountain Moving Taoist. After the time limit expired, he could clearly see that his eyesight was much better than that of a normal person!

This was an unexpected surprise. It turns out that the martial arts skills rewarded by the system were not truly one-time use; perhaps they also had other unique enhancements!

If the Seven Corpse Fist of General Faqiu were applied in the same way, his physique should have changed more or less than before, but there is no time for Wu Tianjiao to explore the mysteries of the body!

Time is of the essence! The situation is critical! General Chang Shiwan has broken free of his restraints!

Looking at the Chi You bloodline in his mind, Wu Tianjiao felt that this might not be safe. Chang Shiwan in front of him had a body as hard as steel, which made Wu Tianjiao feel a little uneasy!

Although the first two empowerments gave him the illusion of immense strength, they were still far from being able to split mountains and shatter rocks!

Gritting his teeth, Wu Tianjiao turned his gaze back to the Ancient Yellow Emperor Scripture! Although he didn't know what connection this Ancient Yellow Emperor Scripture had with the ancient god Yellow Emperor, it must have some special blessing!

With a thought, both rewards are used simultaneously!

After waiting for a few seconds, Wu Tianjiao was somewhat taken aback!

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

"Why didn't any unusual environments trigger?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Wu Tianjiao's forehead!

its not right!

The story shouldn't be like this!

After using Chi You's bloodline and the Ancient Yellow Emperor's Scripture, even if I can't say I can pluck the sun, moon, and stars from the sky or tread on mountains and rivers, I can at least break a boulder with my chest!

However, in reality, Wu Tianjiao did not experience any strange sensations at all!

...

However, danger will not give the other side a chance to breathe just because Wu Tianjiao is distracted!

General Chang Shiwan had broken free from the seventy-two shackles. He pushed off with both hands and leaped forward with the force of one leg!

"Bang! Ding!"

Two distinct impact sounds rang out—the sounds of the bronze prosthetic limb and the original flesh hitting the floor!

Chang Shiwan wasn't moving forward very fast. He put his hand, which was covered in the blood and flesh of the "Roe Deer Owl," into his mouth while chewing it constantly. His eyes clearly showed a look of "pleasure"!

Wu Tianjiao felt a pang of unease. This guy actually had "emotions"? Didn't Wang Yueban say before that the "big zongzi" were like skinned bullfrogs? They were all mindless bodies!

Why is this Chang Shiwan so special?

..........

"boom!"

In an instant, Chang Shiwan moved at an extreme speed, his figure flashing as he took two steps forward simultaneously!

The broken prosthesis showed no signs of affecting his mobility!

While running, he could clearly feel the opponent's incredibly heavy body density! Moving like the wind, fast as a shadow! He charged straight at Wu Tianjiao's face!

Chang Shiwan unleashed a punch, and Wu Tianjiao instinctively raised his hand to block!

"boom!"

Something unexpected happened: the seemingly vigorous and fierce punches struck me, but I felt no pain!

Wu Tianjiao was somewhat puzzled...

What... exactly is going on?

Why can't I feel any pain at all?

.......

Not only Wu Tianjiao felt puzzled, but he could also see something strange in Chang Shiwan's eyes!

Perhaps in the other party's still somewhat confused consciousness, it was incomprehensible why such a weak creature could withstand its attack!

At the same time, Wu Tianjiao heard the system notification in his mind!

[Ding! Emergency mission detected!]

[Please remain where you are and wait for the corpse to devour you 0/1]

Wu Tianjiao was momentarily stunned. Looking at the system in his mind, he asked in confusion:

"System! What's going on? Just stand there and wait for the corpse to devour me? I'm not going to talk to you about this strange mission! I just used the Chi You bloodline and the Ancient Yellow Emperor Scripture, so why is there no reaction at all?"

"Although my physical strength has increased, I can't just keep taking hits! I feel like my punching speed can't keep up with the speed of this 'giant dumpling' in front of me!"

[Ding! Because the host's physique has not yet reached the stage of simultaneously accommodating two high-intensity enhancements, the original bloodline ability has not been activated!]

Wu Tianjiao was stunned!

"Is that even possible? Your previous item description didn't mention any usage restrictions! Does that mean that if I use these two rewards at the same time, the positive result will be negative?"

... ...

Just as Wu Tianjiao was asking the system in his mind a question!

Chang Shiwan, standing before him, opened his blood-red maw with blood-red light in his eyes and bit down!

[Ding! Emergency mission detected!]
