95: The Remnant Soul of the Sharp Warrior

Li Changkong, unable to suppress the doubt in his heart, hurried towards the direction Xiao Zi was pointing.

The moonlight was bright, so there was no need for any lighting to see the path under his feet.

Before even reaching the location of those Yao Beasts, Li Changkong felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Upon reaching the central part of the Qin Mountain Range, the Rank and density of monsters should be higher and greater than in the outer areas.

But he had been inside for several minutes, and let alone a monster, there wasn't even a cicada.

Just as Li Changkong's heart was filled with uncertainty, that roar came again, and it was already very close.

Upon hearing this sound, Li Changkong's gaze fell upon a lake not far away.

The scene he witnessed, however, left Li Changkong dumbfounded.

He saw that the area around a distant lake was already surrounded by a dense crowd of Yao Beasts.

Those Yao Beasts all had crimson eyes, and their gazes were fixed on the moon above their heads.

The moonlight above their heads was shining down on them.

At first glance, the number of these Yao Beasts was in the tens of thousands.

Those Yao Beasts varied in height, and whether they were jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, or snakes, insects, rats, and ants, they were all gathered together.

Like an ocean of Yao Beasts, Li Changkong was not even a small boat.

This was the first time he had seen so many monsters, and he immediately felt his scalp tingle.

The Rank of these Yao Beasts varied, with the highest Rank actually reaching over forty.

In addition, there were quite a few bosses, all gathered in front of those monsters.

The expressions of these bosses were also exceptionally devout, as if the moon above their heads was extremely sacred.

And in the very center of those lakes, a purple lotus was slowly blooming, as if something inside was emitting light.

Li Changkong could confirm that the lotus must be something precious.

At this moment, a thought had already arisen in his heart, wanting to seize the lotus.

However, a thought is just a thought; facing such a number of monsters, if he were to enter the monster horde, it would undoubtedly be a certain death.

Even without those bosses, just ordinary monsters could overwhelm him.

Li Changkong gasped, but he also felt a bit fortunate in his heart.

Now that these Yao Beasts were all gathered together, it meant that the central area was temporarily safe.

If he didn't seize this opportunity to search for the Zu Long Imperial Mausoleum, he would probably lose the chance entirely.

Thinking of this, Li Changkong lightened his steps and quickly left these monsters.

It wasn't until he had walked over a thousand meters away that he dared to breathe loudly.

Then his figure disappeared into the mountain forest and began to advance rapidly towards his destination.

In less than half an hour, he arrived at a steep mountain peak.

From some remaining traces, it could be seen that this place used to be a tourist attraction or similar.

Taking advantage of the absence of Yao Beasts, Li Changkong began to investigate carefully.

According to the map, this was indeed the Zu Long Imperial Mausoleum, but there was no trace of an imperial mausoleum.

Just as Li Changkong was wondering, Xiao Zi hopped out of the pet space.

Li Changkong had not sealed the pet space, so Xiao Zi could come out whenever he wanted.

After Xiao Zi came out, he ran towards one direction.

Li Changkong followed closely behind him and soon arrived at the base of a rock wall.

This rock wall didn't look special, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a large door.

Li Changkong extended a hand and slowly pressed it against the door.

The originally ordinary rock wall suddenly flashed with a black light.

The outer stone skin quickly peeled off, leaving only a dark green bronze door.

The sudden change made Li Changkong retreat repeatedly.

The bronze door slowly opened a crack, rubbing against the ground and emitting a harsh sound.

Hearing this harsh sound, even Li Changkong covered his ears with both hands.

The crack was just wide enough for Li Changkong to enter, but it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see what the scene was like.

"If I die, I die."

Having already arrived here, Li Changkong naturally had nothing to fear.

He stepped inside the bronze door, and the bronze door behind him suddenly closed.

And after stepping inside, lights suddenly lit up on both sides of the path.

From these lights, there was also an unusual fragrance, making one feel refreshed.

After Li Changkong took a deep breath, he felt much more energetic.

Li Changkong's gaze then fell on the walls on both sides, and he found many murals on the walls.

These murals depicted soldiers in armor, looking lifelike.

Just as Li Changkong was about to follow the lights, a voice came from beside his ear.

The originally lifelike murals now began to tremble.

A faint, flickering phantom slowly emerged from the mural; it was precisely the soldier from within the mural.

【Name: Elite Soldier Divided Soul】

【Rank: 35】

【Skill: Spear Mastery】

After the soldier appeared, he immediately attacked Li Changkong.

The long spear in his hand looked exceptionally sharp in the dim light.

After a series of shouts, the long spear in the Elite Soldier Divided Soul's hand stabbed directly towards Li Changkong.

Although the opponent's speed was fast, he was still just an ordinary monster.

After Li Changkong distanced himself from the opponent, two Fireball Techniques followed one after another, fiercely striking the Divided Soul's body.

Li Changkong had originally thought that these two skills would instantly kill the opponent, but who knew that when the two fireballs landed on the Elite Soldier Divided Soul's body, they only took away more than half of his health.

It was only after Li Changkong supplemented with another Fireball Technique that he finally eliminated the Elite Soldier Divided Soul.

【Killed Elite Soldier Divided Soul, gained 2000 experience.】

【Gained one Divided Soul.】

【Gained one Rank 3 Dark-attribute Crystal Core.】

The opponent's defense made Li Changkong feel somewhat surprised; he had originally thought it would be easy to resolve, but he didn't expect it would still take some effort.

At this point, he had also guessed that his damage was not high, likely due to the opponent's Divided Soul state, which was inextricably linked.

And the items dropped by the opponent were probably what puzzled Li Changkong the most.

The experience was quite sufficient, as the opponent's Rank was also relatively high.

And this Divided Soul was probably what made Li Changkong feel most puzzled; if he only looked at the color, this Divided Soul was just a white item.

But in the dark, Li Changkong felt that this item should be relatively important.

Obtaining a Dark-attribute Crystal Core was also something that made Li Changkong very curious.

The drop rate for these Crystal Cores is extremely low in the Late Stage, let alone a Rank 3 Crystal Core.

But he hadn't expected the drop rate for this kind of Divided Soul to be so high.

He had just eliminated one Elite Soldier's Divided Soul, and another Divided Soul walked out from the mural again.
