I, a cultivator, have ended up in the world of tomb raiding.

It was a muffled vibration of extremely low frequency coming from deep within the soil.

The underground rock strata slowly shifted, and the soil particles were squeezed and rubbed together, producing a continuous, almost inaudible soft sound.

The sound was faint, and it seemed to be coming from deep underground.

If Li Yue's five senses were not far beyond those of ordinary people, and his hearing not only be exceptionally sharp, capable of detecting every rustle of grass within a hundred feet, he would never have been able to detect this hidden underground omen.

His expression changed slightly, and he secretly slapped his forehead, wondering how he could have forgotten about this.

Below the bottle-shaped peak of Ping Mountain lies Phoenix Pass, located at the foot of Old Bear Ridge in Nuqing County.

The dense vegetation in this mountain valley has buried and covered the original underground caves, which is now the place where they are standing.

The current sliding indicates that the crust outside the "ancestral cave" has cracked and is about to reach the critical point of collapse!

The sound of sand and gravel moving right now is a clear sign of an impending collapse!

Thinking of this, Li Yue immediately gave a stern warning to the few people around him who were engrossed in watching the divine rooster fight the mountain scorpion:

"Stop standing there! This place is about to collapse, get out of here!"

Seeing Li Yue, who was usually calm and composed, looking so serious, everyone was startled and quickly looked down at the ground beneath their feet.

Partridge Whistle reacted the fastest, looking at him and asking urgently, "Is it an underground collapse?"

He also knew that this place was the "ancestral cave" of the local indigenous people.

Upon hearing what Li Yue said, they immediately made a guess.

Li Yue waved his hand at them: "The commotion here is too great, and it may spread to the surrounding area within two or three miles. You must leave immediately and not linger any longer!"

Such a ground fissure and collapse is a catastrophe beyond human control.

Having witnessed the events that had transpired before, everyone believed Li Yue's words without a doubt, and upon hearing this, they knew that it was a critical moment of life and death.

"Then Brother Li, you..." Partridge Whistle asked in surprise when he heard that he was only urging everyone to leave and did not intend to go with them.

Li Yue said to them very quickly, "You go first, I'll come back later."

Knowing that Li Yue was incredibly capable, Partridge Whistle didn't say anything more.

He had to take care of his junior brothers and sisters, so he had no time for anything else.

Therefore, he immediately stopped talking, called Hua Ling and the old foreigner to follow, and then put away his knife and gun.

Without further hesitation, the group sprinted towards the outer perimeter at full speed.

Hong Guniang ran a few steps after him, then turned back to look at Li Yue again, still worried.

He seemed to have thought of something, and a look of struggle appeared on his face.

After hesitating for a while, he finally realized that staying would only be a burden to the other party, so he gritted his teeth, turned around and quickly caught up with the three mountain-moving people in front of him.

After everyone had evacuated,

Li Yue no longer paid attention. Holding his green-edged longsword, he swayed and charged straight at the still-fighting mother scorpion.

The plan is to completely eliminate this zombie scorpion king first.

The mother scorpion sensed someone approaching from behind, so she suddenly raised her tail and swept it across like a steel whip with a strong wind.

Li Yue suddenly shifted his body to the side, dodging past the scorpion's tail. The next moment, he flipped his wrist and slashed down with the Qingfeng Sword.

"Zheng—"

With a crisp snap, the mother scorpion's thick tail broke off.

The cut was neat and clean, the inside dry and hollow, with no blood or venom gushing out.

Li Yue's heart sank, realizing that it was indeed a corpse transformed from a living being, its flesh and blood long since lost their vitality.

Most of the scorpion's ferocity lies in its stinger; its power is greatly diminished after its tail is severed.

The Angry Rooster had been stored in the pet ring, unlike the bumpy and uncomfortable experience it had in the cramped bamboo basket, and had had ample time to rest and recuperate.

At this moment, it was unleashing the full power of the divine bird, in peak condition, showing no signs of fatigue.

Seeing that its opponent had lost its most lethal move and was exposed, the Angry Rooster immediately seized the opportunity, flapped its wings and pounced.

With a powerful peck, its sharp beak pierces through the hard carapace and penetrates deep into the scorpion's body.

Then, its razor-sharp claws slashed fiercely, tearing the crack in its shell even wider.

In the blink of an eye, the body of the zombie scorpion shattered and cracked.

Li Yue didn't have time to check if there were any resurrected baby scorpions hidden inside the mother scorpion's abdomen.

Then I saw the male scorpion on the side, enraged by the sight of the female scorpion dying on the spot.

The male scorpion suddenly swung its pincers and clamped them hard against the two roosters beside it.

It swung its pair of massive, jet-black pincers wildly, lunging at the two male scorpions beside it like a madman.

These two roosters are top-quality fighting cocks, selected from thousands of candidates.

With colorful feathers and a tall crest, it possesses a fierce and courageous nature.

While it may not be as naturally divine as the Angry-Eyed Chicken, it is by no means an ordinary domestic fowl.

Its body was already covered in wounds, feathers were scattered, and it was covered in blood, yet it still fought fearlessly, risking its life without retreating an inch.

However, physical strength and reaction speed were ultimately far inferior to this crazed, century-old scorpion king.

After several futile struggles and attempts to dodge, it was ultimately unable to avoid the sharp, venomous claws and was tightly clamped down on its body.

After struggling for a moment, two short, mournful cries rang out, and then it completely stopped breathing.

After killing both roosters, the male scorpion's demonic aura surged, and its ferocious energy became even more agitated instead of subsiding.

Knowing that time was of the essence, Li Yue's eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent.

Just as they were about to strike again and join forces with the Angry Rooster to kill the male scorpion.

But at that moment, the black pipa scorpion demon suddenly arched its body, leaped up, and jumped onto the tilted purple-gold coffin beside it.

When the Angry Sun Rooster flaps its wings and pounces to pursue, it immediately uses its limbs to leap down quickly, repeatedly moving back and forth, using the coffin as a springboard to maneuver and dodge.

Li Yue was secretly surprised, but instantly understood the other party's thoughts.

These mountain scorpions were actually waging guerrilla warfare against them.

Spirits and other creatures are far more perceptive of changes in the heavens and earth than humans.

The male scorpion had clearly also sensed the slight tremors underground.

They wanted to stall for time here, to wear them down until the landslide occurred, or even perish together with them.

Li Yue wanted to lend a helping hand once again.

However, the divine rooster and the mountain scorpion fought endlessly, and the divine rooster gained the upper hand.

But with figures constantly intersecting, it was really difficult to intervene.

If I were to have the thought of taking the Angry Rooster back with me now...

—The divine rooster was in high spirits, fighting fiercely, its intelligence highly taut.

Such a proud bird, if suddenly recalled in the heat of a life-or-death battle, might experience a reversal of its vital energy, leading to resentment and frustration.

Given the temperament of the Angry Rooster, it would probably go crazy with anger.

Li Yue sighed inwardly.

Just then, the underground rumbling became even more deafening.

The entire underground space began to shake violently, with rocks and debris constantly falling from above.

Li Yue knew that the entire massive underground tomb was on the verge of collapse, and there could be no more delay.

With his current level of cultivation, he can naturally escape with ease.

However, the body of the Angry Sun Chicken could not withstand the crushing weight of the collapsing rocks and could not remain here any longer.

"Angry Sun!"

He suddenly shouted at the divine rooster that was locked in combat.

Upon hearing the loud shout, the Angry Rooster paused, immediately understanding Li Yue's meaning.

—This old scorpion is strange and vicious; it's playing a trick on it!

It immediately stopped holding back, gripping the black pipa scorpion's back tightly with its claws, pinning it firmly to the ground.

Its sharp beak pecked relentlessly, frantically tearing through the opponent's hard carapace.

With her life hanging by a thread, the scorpion demon had no choice but to condense all the venom in her body into her scorpion tail.

In a desperate move, it suddenly lashed out with its steel whip-like scorpion tail, from which shot out a black mist darker than the night.

This black mist was formed from the condensation of venom, and it was extremely poisonous.

Knowing the poison was deadly, the Angry Rooster dared not confront it head-on. Instead, it spread its wings, suddenly took to the air, and nimbly dodged the attack.

The black pipa was already exhausted, and when it tried to strike with all its might but failed, its spirits were further dampened.

At that moment, the Angry Golden Rooster, which was hovering in mid-air, landed.

Since following Li Yue, it has consumed several kinds of spiritual herbs, and its physique and spirituality are now completely different from before.

At this moment, the swooping motion was as swift as lightning, and it once again captured the scorpion with precision. Its golden claws firmly locked onto the scorpion's tail and back, and in an instant, it unleashed a tremendous force.

With its wings flapping violently, it pulled the scorpion king, which was several times larger than itself, into the air, just like an eagle hunting a rabbit.

In the blink of an eye, the Angry Sun Chicken, carrying the Scorpion King, swooped down and its sharp claws lashed out, tearing open the carapace with brutal force.

The black pipa was wracked with excruciating pain, its grotesque, steel-jointed body twisting and struggling wildly.

However, its abdominal armor had already been pierced through by the golden rooster's sharp claws, its entire body was shattered, and its demonic energy was rapidly dissipating.

After several futile attempts to twist and turn, it died in a distorted state.

With the Scorpion King dealt with, the collapse beneath our feet is imminent.

The huge rock crashed down from above, cracks spread across the surrounding rock walls, and the entire underground space teetered on the brink of collapse.

Li Yue didn't linger. He instantly put away the Angry Rooster and circulated his magical power throughout his body.

Even those at the seventh level of Qi Refining cannot fly, but they can still traverse the air and leap through the void.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, using the constantly collapsing, shaking, and falling rubble and broken wood as a fulcrum.

His figure was like a blur, flying and darting across the violently shaking, cracking and collapsing ground.

The soil and gravel underfoot kept tumbling and sliding, dust filled the air, and rocks fell like rain, making it extremely dangerous.

He kept moving, leaping through the air and crossing large sections of ground that were already cracked and loose, and could collapse completely at any moment.
