All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 147 The Zombie General in the Cave

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

The main reason is that Gu Yu's self-created mental cultivation method is mostly derived from the characteristics of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, the Yi Jin Jing, and the Lesser Formless Skill, and is integrated with the concepts of Taoism, Yin Yang School, and Mohism.

In a sense, this mental cultivation method has transcended the realm of ordinary martial arts, starting from the innate level.

To Gu Yu's surprise, his self-created mental cultivation technique could also be upgraded using Destiny Points.

Although the system could only upgrade the cultivation technique to the ninth level, Gu Yu felt that the technique still had room for expansion and was not yet truly perfect.

After walking for a while, the cave became completely dark.

Without being told, Xiao Wu and Zeng Shan each took out a tinderbox and lit it.

This is a type of fire tumbler meticulously crafted by the Xieling sect. It is one inch thick and four inches long, about the size of a candle, but much brighter. One tumbler can last for about an hour and a half.

Hong Gu whispered, "Everyone be careful, there might be a trap."

"Um!"

Xiao Wu and Zeng Shan nodded in agreement.

Gu Yu didn't speak, but he guessed that even if there were any mechanisms, they would have been destroyed long ago. After all, that zombie had been in and out countless times; zombies weren't that smart to know how to protect mechanisms.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are forks in the road inside the cave.

If he accidentally went down a wrong path, he might still run into a trap. Therefore, Gu Yu focused intently on sensing his surroundings.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, a three-way intersection appeared ahead.

Hong Gu instructed, "Xiao Wu, come up here and show me the way. I'll see which way to go."

"good!"

Xiao Wu stepped forward in response.

At this moment, Gu Yu raised his hand and pointed to the right: "Let's go this way."

Hong Gu looked at Gu Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why?"

Gu Yu smiled and pointed to the ground: "Because there are footprints on the ground."

Upon hearing this, Hong Gu looked down and, sure enough, a pair of footprints were faintly visible in the passage on the right.

"You have a good eye."

"Not at all, Miss Hong, you flatter me."

"Walk!"

The group of four continued along the passage on the right.

After walking for a while, another fork in the road appeared ahead. This time, Hong Gu was more experienced, so she simply took the tinder from Xiao Wu's hand and searched the ground. Sure enough, she found the zombie's footprints again.

After passing through seven or eight forks in the road, they finally saw a spacious stone chamber.

"Strange, where's the coffin?"

Hong Gu stood at the entrance of the stone chamber and shone a torch in the light. She could only see a few stone pillars and two stone statues inside, but no sign of a coffin.

"I'll go take a look."

Zeng Shan walked in as he spoke.

"Be careful!"

Gu Yu suddenly shouted.

Zeng Shan was startled and quickly stopped in his tracks.

At that moment, a nauseating stench swept in, and a giant black and white snake, as thick as a large bowl, suddenly darted down from the top of the stone chamber, opening its blood-red maw to pounce on Zeng Shan.

"Zeng Shan!"

Hong Gu shouted anxiously and threw two throwing knives.

Throwing knives was a unique skill she mastered at the Moon Gate. Back when she roamed the martial world, she could accurately hit her target even with her eyes covered.

The two throwing knives struck the giant snake instantly, but failed to stop its movements.

Fortunately, at the same moment Hong Gu threw the flying knife, Gu Yu also swayed and grabbed Zeng Shan's clothes, pulling him back and narrowly avoiding the giant snake's attack.

"Hiss~"

After being injured, the giant snake became even more ferocious and charged forward menacingly.

"Back off!"

Hong Gu shouted loudly.

At this moment, Gu Yu leaped into the air and delivered a flying kick to the giant snake's vital spot.

"Bang!"

The giant snake, which had been holding its head high, was sent flying backward by this kick, its head slamming heavily against the top of the stone gate.

Gu Yu pulled out a knife and rushed forward. Seeing the giant snake struggling to raise its head, he swiftly chopped off the snake's head with a single stroke.

This scene left Hong Gu, Xiao Wu, and Zeng Shan completely dumbfounded.

Hong Gu, in particular, never expected that an ordinary disciple would have such skill and be so bold.

"Boom boom boom~"

At that moment, a muffled sound came.

Gu Yu quickly jumped to the entrance of the stone chamber.

Looking up, they saw that the stone pillars were actually rotating. Then, a hole appeared in the middle of the stone chamber.

Hong Gu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect there to be a mechanism in this stone chamber."

Gu Yu said, "It should be the stone slab I just stepped on. Once the zombie jumped onto it, the mechanism would open. It seems the tomb is down below."

Hong Gu frowned and said, "Even so, it means that zombie still has some consciousness, since it knew to activate the switch."

.

"Shall we go down?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.

Hong Gu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Yu and asked, "What do you think?"

Previously, she probably wouldn't have asked Gu Yu for his opinion. But after witnessing Gu Yu's actions, she knew he was no ordinary person, which is why she asked.

Gu Yu said, "We've already found the entrance, there's no reason not to go down. Here's what I'll do: I'll go down and check the situation first."

"No!" Hong Gu shook her head. "I'll go down with you. That way, we can look out for each other if anything happens."

Before Gu Yu could speak, Hong Gu instructed, "Xiao Wu, Zeng Shan, you two stay outside and keep watch."

"Okay, Miss Red."

At this moment, Gu Yu had already jumped down.

Then he looked up and said, "Miss Hong, come down."

"good!"

Hong Gu responded and jumped down as well.

Below is another stone chamber, but it is not enclosed and is connected to another stone chamber.

The two, each holding a tinderbox, carefully made their way to another stone chamber.

Upon entering, one discovers that the stone chamber is much larger, containing not only a huge stone coffin but also numerous burial objects.

However, most of these burial objects were stone carvings, weapons, and a few skeletons.

Clearly, these were people who were buried alive with their families.

Hong Gu looked around, somewhat disappointed: "It seems there's nothing of value here."

Gu Yu glanced at the stone coffin and asked, "Should we open it and take a look?"

Hong Gu subconsciously glanced at the stone coffin and said, "Open it, otherwise this trip will have been in vain."

"Alright, you step aside first."

Hong Gu was stunned.

At this moment, Gu Yu strode towards the stone coffin.

"Hey, you want to push it away by yourself?"

Hong Gu couldn't help but follow.

"Don't worry, I can manage on my own. Miss Hong, please step aside."

"Then be careful."

Hong Gu stepped back a few paces.

Gu Yu stood beside the stone coffin, protecting himself with his true energy, and pushed hard on the coffin lid with both hands.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the stone coffin lid shifted instantly.

As the saying goes, great skill breeds great courage.

As soon as the stone coffin was opened, Gu Yu couldn't help but peek inside—sure enough, there was a corpse dressed in armor lying inside.

In addition, there were some burial objects, mostly gold and silver jewelry, but not many.

At this moment, Hong Gu also came over and asked, "How is it?"

Just as Gu Yu was about to answer, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes. The eyeballs were not visible; only a scarlet color could be seen.

"Red Girl, don't come any closer!"

Gu Yu immediately shouted.
