Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Upon entering the tomb, Jiang Bai only saw a long passageway.

Clearly, this is not the actual entrance to the tomb.

Jiang Bai observed the patterns carved on the wall and found that the patterns carved on the wall were different from the patterns of the ruins on the ground, and they were not even the same style.

Logically, this tomb should most likely have been left by the civilization that built the ruins, but the strikingly different patterns and styles make it seem unlikely.

This tomb is even located some unknown depth underground.

"Could this tomb be even older than the ruins above?"

Jiang Bai was puzzled.

With these layers upon layers of ruins, how many generations of civilizations have existed in Teyvat?

Putting aside these unnecessary curiosities for the moment, Jiang Bai followed the footprints on the ground.

The tomb was deathly silent; apart from the sound of his own footsteps and heartbeat, Jiang Bai could hear nothing else.

But soon, Jiang Bai heard strange jumping sounds.

boom!

A corpse dressed in the clothes of a treasure-hunting gang, its body bluish-black, its eyes wide open in death, suddenly appeared in Jiang Bai's eyes from the darkness!

The corpse exuded an eerie blackish-green aura, and its fingernails were long and sharp with black nail plates. If you were scratched, you might end up like this guy.

Jiang Bai pulled out his long-unused "Persuasion Through Reason" weapon and smashed the now-zombie corpse into the wall with a single blow.

Given Jiang Bai's strength, a normal person would definitely die if hit like that, and a monster like a Hilichurl would be knocked unconscious.

But the zombie was unharmed after being hit. It roared and quickly crawled out again, continuing its attack on Jiang Bai.

The blade-shaped Bai Yuan appeared in Jiang Bai's hand. With a flash of the blade, the zombie's head fell off.

Even so, the headless zombie relentlessly attacked Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai's brows furrowed into a deep frown, gaining a new understanding of the dangers of this secret realm.

Brush brush!

The blade flashed continuously, slicing the zombie in front of him into several pieces of varying sizes, which fell neatly to the ground, finally ceasing its attack on Jiang Bai.

"This is really weird... even beheading doesn't work..."

If there's only one of these monsters, it's fine; Hu Tao can handle it easily. But if there are hundreds or thousands, then it's dangerous!

Thinking of Hu Tao's current situation, Jiang Bai became anxious and stopped following the planned layout of the tomb. Instead, he violently broke through the wall in the direction indicated by the Four Directions Principle!

Walnut is currently in the very center of the tomb, in the largest burial chamber.

The tip of the staff in her hand had turned completely black, stained with the black blood of the slain zombies.

Her body, hair, and even her most cherished hat were stained with a lot of black blood. Faced with the relentless attacks, she had no time to clean herself and could only put the hat away to avoid getting it dirty again.

The little ghost had released too much energy and was completely exhausted, so it returned to the ring to recuperate.

While dodging attacks from zombies, Hu Tao explores the tomb, trying to find out its origins and the reason for its strangeness. Before she knows it, she has arrived at the largest tomb chamber.

Perhaps it was the imposing presence of the tomb's occupant during his lifetime, or perhaps it was some kind of restriction, but all the terrifying-looking zombies stopped at the entrance, not daring to take a step.

Hundreds of zombies blocked the entrance, eyeing Hu Tao menacingly.

Hu Tao didn't care whether the zombies were watching her or not. She scanned the tomb and finally fixed her gaze on the jade coffin that was surrounded by several other coffins like stars around the moon.

The coffin was made entirely of jade and was the most exquisite, largest, and most luxurious coffin she had ever seen.

She thought with a touch of bittersweet humor that if she were to design such a luxurious coffin for Ningguang when her birthday approached, she would definitely be able to afford Mora.

The thought only flashed through her mind for a moment, and Hu Tao kept a wary eye on the coffins around her.

All the corpses in the coffins of the tombs we've visited so far have risen from the dead, so this tomb will certainly be no exception.

There might even be a zombie king!

Without hesitation, she jumped onto the jade coffin and sat down. Sitting on it, if the corpse came back to life, she could immediately sense something was wrong, and the coffin lid would also shield her from view.

Before she could rise from the dead, she quickly drank water and ate to replenish her strength.

To completely eliminate these zombies, not a single second of rest time can be wasted.

Just as she finished a meat pie in two bites and was about to drink some water to moisten her throat, she heard a noise coming from the coffin below.

The person inside the coffin seemed very angry that someone was sitting on his coffin and was preparing to break out.

Without hesitation, Hu Tao stomped her foot down, pressing the coffin, which had just begun to rise from the dead, back down. A raging fire spread out and enveloped the entire coffin.

Using a lever, she leaped onto the high wall, and at the same time, the staff of homa was deeply embedded in the wall, giving her a place to rest.

The person inside the coffin was enraged, and a terrifying roar emanated from it, drawing all the zombies in that direction.

boom!

The coffin lid was violently flung off, crashed into the wall, and shattered into several pieces!

The elaborately dressed zombie suddenly flew out of the coffin, flames raging over him, yet he remained unaffected.

He roared again, staring intently at Hu Tao. Terrifying sonic waves swept through the entire tomb, and the corpses in the other coffins around the tomb gradually awoke.

Hu Tao sensed something was wrong.

This zombie king has clearly reached a state where he is impervious to swords and spears, and water and fire cannot harm him at all!

Without hesitation, Hu Tao took out a talisman and threw it out, quickly forming a hand seal. Purple lightning immediately exploded in the space, carrying a terrifying threat as it struck the zombie king.

The zombie king had not yet developed intelligence, but his body's instincts made him quickly dodge.

Seeing that the Zombie King was also moving so fast, Hu Tao's gaze darkened.

boom!

The spot where they had been standing was now covered in flying debris, and the thick rocks were as fragile as paper in the hands of the zombie king.

Walnut leaped through the air, and the blazing Huma Staff slammed directly into the Zombie King's face, knocking him to the ground.

Another talisman shot out from his fingertips, and lightning, carrying immense force, struck the zombie king along with raging flames.

The explosion of fire and lightning sent the zombie king flying, but only for a moment before he stood up again, his body still shrouded in black smoke!

He roared, and all the zombies gathered at the door rushed in, with more and more zombies surging towards them.

Seeing that she was surrounded, Hu Tao's heart sank to the bottom.

She took a deep breath and, disregarding her dwindling mental energy, used the rebound force from the staff of homa to leap high into the air.

The scorching flames, capable of instantly burning corpses to ashes, spread rapidly from below her, quickly melting the few zombies closest to her.

Amidst the raging flames, Walnut brandished her homa staff like a dancing fire butterfly; with each flap of her wings, a zombie turned to ashes.

The zombies kept coming, like being surrounded by a terrifying swarm of ants, and her body seemed about to be overwhelmed by the zombies at any moment.

Chapter 313 The Master of the Hall of Rebirth is never afraid of death!

Despite such a death threat, Hu Tao's expression remained completely unchanged.

Maintaining the balance between life and death is the duty of the past abbots of the Hall of Rebirth, and it is also her duty.

The head of the Hall of Rebirth has never been afraid of death!

The dagger slashed her palm, and scalding blood gushed out. Her expression was solemn and resolute.

The ethereal figure of the red butterfly darted through the tomb, using blood as her brush to swiftly sketch throughout the entire chamber.

With the final stroke, she stood in the very center of the tomb, ignoring the claws that were about to strike, and closed her eyes.

[Secret Method: Butterflies come and go! 】

rustling—

A sound like leaves falling in the wind came, and the blood spilled on the ground flew up, forming bright red spider lilies in the air.

These spider lilies, made of fresh blood, are exquisitely beautiful, slightly closed, and exude a terrifying aura.

Although it has not yet developed intelligence, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm has become the zombie king's nature.

Seeing the bright red flowers floating and covering the entire tomb, he ran outside without thinking.

But it was as if they were blocked by an invisible barrier, and they couldn't get out no matter what they did.

boom! boom! boom!

One by one, the red spider lilies bloomed, and blood droplets, like dew, splashed out from the blooming flowers. The moment they left the petals, they turned into scorching flames. The flames fell to the ground and onto the zombies, and the raging fire instantly engulfed the entire tomb.

All the zombies that came to this tomb struggled and turned to ash in the crimson flames. Even the zombie king, who felt no pain, could only struggle in the flames and watch helplessly as his body gradually disappeared.

With the tension in his heart released, Hu Tao's mental energy was completely exhausted.

Flames engulfed her body, turning her clothes to ashes. Only the Eye of God shone brightly, protecting its master from self-destruction in the flames that seemed to lead to mutual destruction.

Supporting herself with the staff of homa, Hu Tao stood up with difficulty, watching the zombies disappear in the flames, and gave a somewhat regretful smile.

She was exhausted, had lost too much blood, and was mentally drained. Once she closed her eyes, it was uncertain whether she would wake up again.

"The Hall of Rebirth is going to die out..."

"Jiang Bai, don't be too sad..."

Between life and death, one can best know what one can't let go of.

First, there's the legacy of the Hall of Rebirth; second, there's Jiang Bai…

"Master!"

In a daze, she seemed to hear Jiang Bai's voice.

The voice was so ethereal, it seemed to come from the other side of the river.

Along with it came the rumbling sound of bricks cracking.

"Master!"

Another voice came, growing closer as it approached, its tone anxious and fearful.

"walnut!"

Finally, the voice appeared in my ears.

Hu Tao felt herself fall into someone's arms. She opened her eyes groggily and saw a familiar profile.

She relaxed and completely lost consciousness.

Jiang Bai's heart sank the moment he saw Hu Tao. Thank goodness, he arrived just in time.

But the next moment, his face flushed bright red.

He quickly turned his head away to avoid being burned to death by the fire inside before being burned to death by the fire outside.

The flames inside the tomb were still burning. Under the scorching heat, even though Jiang Bai had put on hundreds of layers of rock shields, he felt that he would be turned into a pile of ashes in the flames at any moment. He had to quickly replace the shields as they exploded to avoid being burned to ashes.

Under the high temperature, his clothes were instantly soaked with sweat, and there were even faint signs of spontaneous combustion.

Without thinking twice, he hugged Hu Tao tightly and prepared to leave.

However, perhaps the flames were too fierce, causing the foundation of the tomb to succumb to the intense heat and develop numerous cracks.

Jiang Bai realized the danger and had just stepped out of the tomb and out of the range of flames. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the largest tomb collapsed.

The entire mausoleum collapsed like dominoes; the collapse of one tomb caused a chain reaction that led to other tombs as well. The entire mausoleum was collapsing, and there was nowhere to run!

Jiang Bai could only hold Hu Tao in his arms and spread his wind wings to prevent her from falling to her death.

The loud crashing of pebbles hitting the water continued. By the light of the falling flames, Jiang Bai looked around and realized that they were in a rift valley and were falling into it.

The area below the rift was pitch black, but judging from the sound of rocks falling into the water, there was probably no place to land down there.

Jiang Bai didn't plan to land directly. He controlled Wind Wings to hold Hu Tao and searched for a place to land.

Soon, he found a place to stand in the ravine and gently put the walnut down.

With the light of the lumen stone, Jiang Bai could clearly see Hu Tao's current condition.

The knife wound on her palm had stopped bleeding, but due to excessive blood loss, her lips were bloodless and her face was as pale as paper.

Even her once smooth hair became dry.

After silently reciting "Amitabha" several times in his heart, Jiang Bai began to examine Hu Tao's body.
