97: Travel through the Terracotta Warriors

These shadows were extremely tiny, like small insects.

However, their bodies were semi-ethereal, like Souls floating in the air.

The insects appeared deep black, but their eyes were like tiny sesame seeds, glowing deep red in the darkness.

From a distance, it was as if countless eyes were staring intently at them.

The dense swarm of insects gathered together, sending shivers down one's spine.

At a glance, the number of these insects had already reached millions.

It was far more terrifying than the Yao Beast gathering Li Changkong had seen before.

But soon, these strange insects burrowed into the bodies of the terracotta warriors.

The formerly inanimate objects began to tremble slightly after the insects burrowed into the terracotta warriors' bodies.

Perceiving this, Li Changkong did not hesitate and rushed towards the other side of the passage.

After all, there were tens of thousands of these terracotta warriors, and if they truly revived, it would definitely cause him a lot of trouble.

After realizing this, he knew that resistance would be futile in such a situation.

There were so many terracotta warriors, and he was only one person.

No matter how he calculated, the odds were not in his favor.

Escape was the only way out.

In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed past the terracotta warriors.

At this moment, only two words echoed in his mind: escape, because if he didn't escape now, he probably wouldn't have another chance.

Once the terracotta warriors could move, they raised the weapons in their hands and locked their gaze on Li Changkong.

After a roar, the terracotta warriors charged towards Li Changkong.

"Light Body Technique."

As Li Changkong's low voice sounded, a blue light appeared beneath his feet.

This Rank 5 Light Body Technique indeed provided him with considerable assistance, directly increasing his speed by several times.

Even when moving through these terracotta warriors, he appeared to be at ease.

Although he dodged most of the attacks, he could not evade all of them.

After much difficulty, Li Changkong emerged from the pile of terracotta warriors, his health bar already more than half depleted.

After drinking a few health potions, his health bar finally stabilized with great effort.

And those terracotta warriors seemed to be confined within this specific area.

They were unable to rush out of this massive burial pit, which fortunately allowed Li Changkong to narrowly escape with his life.

The moment Li Changkong rushed out of the terracotta warrior pit, the small insects inside the terracotta warriors surprisingly emerged from their bodies again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Changkong finally managed to see their attributes.

[Name: Soul Insect]

[Rank: 0]

[Skill: Possession]

After reading the basic introduction, Li Changkong couldn't help but gasp.

These insects before him were just as their description stated; they were not physical insects.

They were originally Soul entities, formed from the lingering Souls of the wronged after a long time of death.

These Soul entities themselves had no offensive power; their method of attack was to attach themselves to other inanimate objects.

The stronger the inanimate object was in life, the greater the power they could display.

Li Changkong had almost never encountered such a creature, even in previous dungeons.

However, when he accepted this quest, he had already read some basic background information.

According to the background information, these insects should have originated from the legendary Netherworld.

And they were formed from dead Souls, inherently possessing terrifying resentment within them.

Furthermore, Li Changkong had also noticed earlier that among the fallen terracotta warriors, there seemed to be some skeletal remains.

That indicated that these terracotta warriors were not actually molded from clay.

Instead, living people were stuffed into the clay while alive and then suffocated to death inside.

Such a live sacrifice was considered a relatively common form of sacrifice in ancient times.

This method of sacrifice would directly cause the resentment in the hearts of the living to reach its peak.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that so many Soul Insects appeared.

These Soul Insects themselves were indestructible, or rather, they could not be eradicated by ordinary means.

The Soul Insects had already escaped earlier, and it was estimated that they would appear elsewhere later.

But since he had already survived this ordeal, Li Changkong felt much more relaxed.

Looking at the passage before him, he did not linger and walked directly into it.

The surrounding passage was extremely quiet, and Li Changkong quickly passed through the outermost section, gradually arriving at the interior.

The candles that were originally around could no longer be seen, as if they had vanished.

Normally, the very bright luminous pearls could not illuminate very far at this moment.

In the darkness, his speed was not fast.

He also did not know what lay in the darkness, so his currentgo ahead speed was extremely slow.

Fortunately, this darkness did not last too long, and he soon reached the end.

And what appeared before him this time seemed like a Small World.

This was an extremely vast space, with meteors drifting in the distant sky.

And in front of him were twelve massive bronze figures, each a hundred meters tall.

These bronze figures looked extremely terrifying from the outside; even Li Changkong subconsciously retreated a few steps, fearing that these bronze figures would suddenly move.

In the middle of these figures was a coffin.

The entire coffin was made of bronze, and on the outside of the bronze coffin, there were wisps of black Qi shrouding it.

The small insects that had originally disappeared now reappeared beside the coffin.

Before Li Changkong could react, these small insects had already swiftly burrowed into the coffin.

The coffin, which had been completely still, began to tremble violently after the small insects burrowed into it.

The coffin lid, which had been covering it, was directly flung open by a mysterious force and crashed heavily onto the ground.

And when the coffin lid hit the ground, it also raised a cloud of dust.

Immediately after, a black hand slowly extended from the distant coffin and floated beside the coffin lid.

Although he hadn't yet seen who the owner of the coffin was, Li Changkong had already recognized the armor covering that hand.

Therefore, the moment he saw this coffin, Li Changkong's eyes immediately became vigilant.
