146: Chapter 146

Ever since entering the Tomb, every step forward had to be taken with extreme caution. Tian Kui, who usually appeared composed, now remained highly vigilant at all times.

"Be careful, don't take anything in the Tomb lightly."

"Don't worry, I have it handled."

Xiao Bai, with his Physique that could immunize against various deadly poisons, naturally didn't fear the poison gas spraying from the stone crevices.

Pushing forward against the poison gas, a wall of mercury blocked the path ahead. Beside it were many corpses of small animals, including the original forms of high-Rank Essence Spirits that had died.

"Come back quickly, don't take risks."

"Wait until we find the mechanism before crossing."

Magbi picked up the compass to guide Xiao Bai in finding the mechanism on the stone wall. He opened three in a row, but they were all fake, and poison arrows kept shooting at Xiao Bai.

"A Bi, are you capable or not! If I weren't so badass, I would have been killed by you."

Magbi scratched his scalp hard, almost pulling himself bald.

"That shouldn't be. I followed the previous method to crack the mechanism; maybe it's been completely upgraded."

"The mechanism is most likely inside the mercury wall."

The poison gas was spreading towards Feng Yun. Based on Tian Kui's strength, she should be able to hold on temporarily, but the Magbi siblings would definitely be poisoned to death, and Feng Yun's current situation was also dire.

All hope was pinned on Xiao Bai. He condensed bone armor over his entire body.

Later, as the descendants' Rank and Cultivation improved, the rewards given to Xiao Bai were added to his defense. Despite his Rank 6 Demon King Cultivation, his body's toughness was stronger than even a Ninth-Level Demon King.

Magbi widened his eyes again: "Isn't Brother Bai a snake demon? How did he suddenly turn into a White Bone Demon?"

Feng Yun sneered: "Don't ask what you shouldn't. Be more professional next time. The poison gas has already spread to our side."

"Cough cough..."

"Okay, little sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. I will definitely pay attention next time."

Tian Kui gathered them around her, using her magic power to form a spherical barrier around them, completely isolating the poison gas.

At this moment, Xiao Bai was testing the mercury wall. He took a long sword from the ground and slowly extended it inside.

As soon as it touched the mercury, black smoke began to rise, and the long sword was quickly melted. Its corrosiveness was much stronger than concentrated sulfuric acid.

"Damn, this is so hardcore! Good thing I didn't rush in directly, otherwise I might have been melted into nothing."

Seeing Xiao Bai hesitating, Tian Kui urged: "Xiao Bai, hurry up, this poison gas is getting stronger and stronger."

"I need to continuously increase my magic power to resist it. Once my magic power is exhausted, we will all die here."

Tian Kui was proficient in medicine but couldn't understand what this poison gas was. It was a mixture of at least dozens of deadly poisons. Once poisoned, it was basically a death sentence with no possibility of rescue.

She directly swallowed a few Spirit coins, which she had obtained from the Demon, Ghost, and Dragon Clans in the Bewildering Forest. Now they could finally come in handy.

All hope was pinned on Xiao Bai. Being able to resist this intensity of deadly poison was truly not an ordinary Physique; even a Ninth-Level Demon King would find it difficult to do so for a long time.

"Sigh, no choice! I'll just have to rush in. I already bragged about it earlier."

Xiao Bai held his breath and focused, gathering his strength to rush through at the fastest speed.

Whoosh!

He put his palms forward, like a professional swimmer's entry, keeping the contact surface as small as possible.

He originally thought it was just a dozen-centimeter mercury wall, but after entering, Xiao Bai was completely numb.

Inside, it was all mercury, at least a hundred meters long, blocking the corridor tightly. The poison gas also contained a large amount of mercury vapor.

Xiao Bai felt the bone armor defending his outer layer creaking.

Crack!

A sound like shattering glass rang out. The powerful pressure crushed Xiao Bai's armor. He forcibly used magic power to form a barrier around his body, but it failed completely after lasting less than two seconds.

A large amount of mercury covered Xiao Bai's entire body, and he soon became unable to move.

"It's over, I'm going to turn into a statue completely, staying here for three lifetimes to guard the Tomb for the Blood Moon Demon Emperor."

Xiao Bai shouted painfully in his heart: "What about my wives?"

Chapter 193: The Ghost Clan is in big trouble

The mercury slowly drilled into Xiao Bai's seven orifices, and a heart-piercing pain spread throughout his body.

"In the end, I was still careless. I have to pay the price for showing off."

Suddenly, his body began to heat up. Perhaps the fire Golden Core inside his body had taken effect.

At this moment, Xiao Bai turned into a little golden man, his whole body extremely hot. Only the thumb-sized Samadhi True Fire actively ran out of the qiankun bag.

The Samadhi True Fire ignited automatically, quickly forming a protective cover around Xiao Bai, forcing all the mercury inside Xiao Bai's body out.

Although the mercury poison couldn't harm Xiao Bai, its powerful corrosion made him very uncomfortable. Once it entered his body, his internal organs would be instantly corroded, and then he would really be done for.

Xiao Bai rushed forward quickly. With the Samadhi True Fire forcibly blocking the mercury, Xiao Bai easily passed through the tens of meters thick mercury wall.

He panted heavily and patted his chest continuously.

"My goodness, I almost lost my life there."

The small Samadhi True Fire stuck its tongue out at Xiao Bai on the lotus platform and even danced a street dance, leaving Xiao Bai stunned.

"This little flame is like a little elf, it's so cute."

"Thank you, little guy. If you hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid I would have been completely done for."

"You look so mischievous, I'll call you Huo Linger from now on."

The little flame nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice and performed for Xiao Bai again, seemingly very satisfied with this name.

It used its little flame hands to twist the lotus platform mechanism, quickly burrowed inside and disappeared, then took the initiative to fly back into the inside of Xiao Bai's clothes and hid in the qiankun bag.

"Thanks to Chi Lin, the treasures she gives are more awesome each time. The feeling of being kept is really great."

"After coming out of the Demon Emperors Tomb, I must go to the Sea of Lava to properly reward her."

Xiao Bai found the mechanism on the wall and pressed it hard. The mercury blocking the corridor all burrowed into the crevices and completely disappeared.

Whoosh whoosh!

Xiao Bai's mouth swelled up like a toad's, blowing out a strong wind, blowing away the remaining poison gas in the corridor.

He quickly came to Tian Kui's side and grinned: "It's fine now, hurry and withdraw your magic power."

Even though Tian Kui was dressed in black and her mask covered her face tightly, one could still vaguely see the bean-sized beads of sweat on her forehead.

It is estimated that in another ten minutes, she would not be able to hold on. If Xiao Bai had not pressed the mechanism, the poison gas released by the corridor would become stronger and stronger, and its density would increase exponentially.

They had known each other for some time, and their relationship was fairly harmonious, which made Xiao Bai curious. He really wanted to take this opportunity to glimpse Tian Kui's appearance.

Tian Kui dodged it very cleverly, not giving him any chance at all.

"You really didn't let us down. You were able to rush into the mercury and come out unscathed. Just now, we all thought you would die."

Xiao Bai showed a bright smile, completely without the fear of having survived a near-death experience. This is the posture of the King of Bragging, always presenting the sunniest side in front of beauties.

"Just a petty trick. Everyone, follow me. This corridor is absolutely safe for now."

The cold queen showed rare tenderness and cared about Xiao Bai's condition.

"Are you really okay? I heard your screams just now. Don't force yourself. We are all so familiar, don't be embarrassed."

"How could that be... This is what I call strength."

Xiao Bai led the way in front, continuously performing backflips in the corridor to demonstrate his super physical fitness and prove to Feng Yun that he was really okay.

Whoosh!

When he landed, he stepped on a snake skin on the ground, his feet slipped, and he fell heavily, face-first.

His dusty appearance was very embarrassed, and even the usually calm Tian Kui couldn't help but chuckle.

Magli couldn't help it anymore, holding her stomach and laughing loudly, her intestines almost knotting from laughter.

"Hehe, accident! How could there be snake skin in such a place? It's really hateful."

"I hate snake skin."

Xiao Bai hooked his finger at Magbi: "You come here."

"Aren't you a Mojin Xiaowei? You should be clearing the way in front. Such an arduous task must be handed over to you."

The Dragon Clan's side was more miserable. They encountered a large number of Undead cavalry sieges, and this alone caused them heavy losses.

Ao Wuming watched his elite subordinates die one by one, feeling anxious and angry.

"Damn it, what kind of monsters are these? They can't be killed at all. Every time they revive, they are stronger than before."

The two Elders with Ninth-Level Demon King strength were protecting Ao Wuming separately, and they couldn't take care of the other clansmen now.

"Second Prince, let's retreat quickly! We will suffer heavy losses if we keep fighting like this."

"Our magic power is consuming rapidly, while the Undead cavalry are tireless and fighting more bravely."

Ao Wuming hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, retreat quickly, don't worry about the dead clansmen for now."

During the retreat, the Undead cavalry commander pulled a large bow and shot through Ao Wuming's hard dragon tail with an arrow.

Ignoring defense, Ao Wuming's body was as brittle as thin paper. With a shrill scream, the two Elders covered his retreat.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's proud super defensive power was like a decoration in front of the Undead.

Before, they underestimated the terror of the Undead cavalry, leading to Ao Wuming losing most of his men. Now, it is estimated that only about twenty are left.

At present, this is only the first test, and there are many hardships and obstacles waiting for them later.

The Ghost clan is relatively better off. The Undead cavalry has no way to deal with the Ghost clan's ethereal Cultivation Technique.

Gui Jianchou had been to the Demon Emperors Tomb ten thousand years ago and had dealt with the more common cavalry here, and was able to cleverly avoid attacks by virtue of his own Cultivation Technique.

Under his command, the Ghost clan did not lose a single person and all evacuated safely.

They were blocked by a corridor full of blue flames. The only way forward was this road, and behind them was the Undead cavalry unit.

"Is it actually Netherworld Ghost Fire? How could there be such a flame?"

Gui Jianchou waved his hand, signaling the main force of the Ghost clan not to move forward. The Netherworld Ghost Fire is a flame specifically for burning the Soul.
