150: Chapter 150

Are you afraid?

Feng Yun cursed, "Shut up. I just hate the smell of blood."

Xiao Bai felt an extremely comfortable softness against his chest. At this moment, he was enjoying the feeling. There was only him and Feng Yun in this area, and he hadn't found any traces of their other companions.

Chapter 198: Corpse Mountain

The Queen, who was usually very decisive, suddenly lost her composure at this moment.

Even wearing a golden mask could not hide her earnest gaze.

"What do we do now? We finally found the demon emperors coffin, and I thought the Demon Emperors Blood Essence was within our grasp, but I didn't expect those damned sword immortals to appear halfway."

"This... I don't have any experience either. Why don't we just play it by ear?"

Xiao Bai's eyelids twitched. He really didn't know how to act cool in this situation. Standing on a small stone, he and Feng Yun were like a single leaf in a boat, weak and helpless in the center of the vast blood sea.

Scarlet mist kept drifting in the air, quickly dyeing his white clothes red.

Achoo! Achoo!

Feng Yun really disliked this pungent smell of blood. She sneezed repeatedly, covering her mouth and nose the entire time.

Suddenly, the stone under their feet began to move, and a giant old turtle slowly emerged from the blood sea.

The old turtle was blood-red all over, and its Turtle Shell was the size of half a basketball court. Xiao Bai, having already Taken Human Form, appeared very small in front of it.

"Who are you? Why have you come to the Corpse Mountain?"

The old turtle's voice was low and hoarse, and it wore a kind smile, showing no hostility toward Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai knew his manners and humbly replied, "Grandpa Turtle, my wife and I accidentally stumbled into the Demon Emperors Tomb, were inexplicably sucked into a blood-colored hole, and then arrived here."

The old turtle looked toward the Corpse Mountain and sneered, "Do you see the mountains of corpses piled up there? They are all experts from various factions who coveted the treasures, including many an Emperor Realm Expert."

"I have been here for tens of thousands of years, and I have seen the corpses of countless experts piled up like mountains. No matter their method of Cultivate, they all rack their brains to make themselves stronger."

"A large number of experts enter the Demon Emperors Tomb to search for treasure; even if it's a life-or-death gamble, they flock to it."

Xiao Bai looked at Feng Yun beside him, signaling her not to speak recklessly.

"Grandpa Turtle, to be honest, my wife is suffering from a deep curse, and her face is aging rapidly."

Xiao Bai asked Feng Yun to take off her mask to show that he wasn't lying with his eyes open.

The old turtle twitched its long eyebrows and laughed out loud, "No need to take it off. I can see your face; you are indeed cursed."

"You need the Demon Emperors Blood Essence to resolve it. You are quite honest."

"How about this: I will point you in a direction. As for whether you can obtain the Demon Emperors Blood Essence, that will depend on your own fortune."

Xiao Bai bowed with cupped hands, "Thank you, Grandpa Turtle."

The journey so far had been full of hardships and obstacles. He didn't expect this old turtle to be so easy to talk to, perhaps because it saw that Xiao Bai's words were sincere and he didn't look like a grave robber.

If a fight had really broken out, the old turtle could have easily crushed them to death.

The fact that they lost all their magic power as soon as they entered the blood sea explained everything; they wouldn't even have had a chance to fight back.

"Sit tight on the Turtle Shell. This blood sea is full of all kinds of Vicious Beast."

"Got it, thank you, Grandpa Turtle."

Xiao Bai hugged Feng Yun's slender waist tightly and gripped the scales on the giant Turtle Shell firmly.

Feng Yun cooperated with him and did not resist. They had said they were a couple, so they had to act out the full scene.

The old turtle carried them and swam toward the Corpse Mountain. There were many crocodiles circling them with covetous eyes, each comparable to a prehistoric giant crocodile, with a body length exceeding ten meters.

They opened their blood-red maws, which could easily swallow Xiao Bai and Feng Yun whole.

"King Golden Crocodile, I am taking two Juniors to the Corpse Mountain. Please grant us passage."

A giant golden crocodile nearly thirty meters long sprang out of the water, significantly larger than the red crocodiles around it.

The golden crocodile leaped a hundred meters into the air, splashing a huge wave on the surface of the water. The giant wave rushed quickly toward Xiao Bai but was repelled by an energy wave released by the old turtle.

"Since when did you old turtle become so sentimental, helping two snake demons cross the blood sea? This doesn't look like your style."

The old turtle smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, we just hit it off. Always fighting and killing isn't very interesting."

King Golden Crocodile roared at dozens of his subordinates, "Get lost, let the old turtle king pass."

The old turtle might have been bored, so it chatted with Xiao Bai for a while on the way to the Corpse Mountain.

Ten thousand years ago, the Dragon Emperor organized experts to enter the Demon Emperors Tomb, which was the closest they had ever come to success, and the only group to escape in these tens of thousands of years.

Since then, the difficulty of the Demon Emperors Tomb had been increased, with the Elf Clan guarding the outside and the Undead guarding the inside.

Many checkpoints were added along the way, and it was deliberately divided into nine map fragments to make the various factions fight each other first.

These were all designed by the old turtle. He and the King Golden Crocodile had long reached the Emperor Realm, and this blood sea was their territory.

Over the years, many intruders would inexplicably arrive at the Corpse Mountain and eventually die at their hands.

They were not only the guardians of the Tomb but also friends of the Blood Moon Demon Emperor during his lifetime, and after his death, he was buried near their territory.

Xiao Bai and the old turtle chatted happily along the way, while Feng Yun remained silent on the side.

"We're here. Cross the Corpse Mountain and you will find the coffin of the Blood Moon Demon Emperor. Whether you can find it depends on your own fortune."

"Thank you, Grandpa Turtle."

Just as he was about to turn, the old turtle immediately turned its head and spat out two blood beads that flew into Xiao Bai's hand.

"Swallow these; they can lift the Spell restriction on you."

Xiao Bai and Feng Yun bowed slightly to bid farewell to the old turtle, watching him dive into the blood sea before speeding up their pace toward the Corpse Mountain.

"Yuner, it's very dangerous ahead, so be very careful. If it weren't for the old turtle's help, we would definitely have been eaten by the crocodiles."

"Now that our magic power has recovered, we still can't let our guard down."

"Hmm..."

From the old turtle, they learned that the crystal coffin Xiao Bai and the others had encountered in the spacious Tomb chamber was not the Blood Moon Demon Emperor, but a decoy.

Setting up a dozen Secret Realms would ultimately lead them to the Corpse Mountain.

The Corpse Mountain was piled with thousands of corpses, all experts who had come to seize treasures and had all perished there.

Hua An arrived with two Junior Brothers, and he seemed to smell a faint fragrance.

"That female snake demon has indeed been here. You two Junior Brothers, follow me; we must not let them get away this time."

"Understood, Senior Brother."

They had just flown a dozen meters on their swords when suddenly the immortal swords beneath their feet began to shake violently, and then gravity failed, causing them to fall into the blood sea.

Hua An rubbed his fingers hard to cast a Spell, but found it was of no use.

"What's going on? My magic power has completely disappeared."

Hua An was soaked in the blood sea, his white clothes instantly dyed red, as the King Golden Crocodile and a dozen crocodiles lunged toward him.

He swam toward the shore with all his might, but the King Golden Crocodile slapped the water hard, knocking him dozens of meters into the air, then leaped up and swallowed Hua An in one bite.

"Cultivators are really boring. They are so small, not even enough to pick my teeth."

Hua An's two Junior Brothers were also bitten to death by other crocodiles; there wasn't even enough to go around.

Chapter 199: The Queen Recovers Her Beautiful Appearance

On the Corpse Mountain, apart from a large number of corpses, there were no unexpected situations, and everything went smoothly.

Xiao Bai and Feng Yun moved forward all the way and entered a Secret Chamber, where a crystal coffin immediately appeared before them, much smaller than the one they had seen before.

It was also suspended in mid-air by nine chains, each link made of small, young Dragon, not only exquisitely crafted but also very tough.

"Nine Dragons pulling a coffin again. It wouldn't be fake again, would it?"

Xiao Bai and Feng Yun looked at each other, full of doubts about the crystal coffin in front of them. The entire Tomb chamber did not look big, and it was bare all around with no burial objects at all.

Let alone gold, silver, or jewelry, there wasn't even a common pottery jar.

The stone door closed slowly, and two dog-headed men appeared at the entrance. The staves in their hands emitted a bright light, instantly illuminating the dim Tomb chamber.

Everything looked so smooth that Xiao Bai couldn't help but shiver.

"Yuner, stay there and behave. Since we're already here, we definitely have to go over and take a look."

Feng Yun frowned tightly, "Be careful. If there's a problem, run away first; don't worry about me."

"Don't worry, I'm as steady as an old dog! When it comes to escape techniques, no one is better than me."

Xiao Bai walked forward cautiously. With every step, he observed whether any hidden weapons were being shot at him.

It was only about twenty meters to the crystal coffin, and Xiao Bai walked for more than a minute. Everything looked so calm, without any anomalies.

There were indeed some treasures inside the coffin, far less than what he had seen before.

Xiao Bai stood on tiptoe, his body floating in mid-air, and he could clearly see a human figure inside the crystal coffin.

"Could this be the Blood Moon Demon Emperor? That's impossible, isn't he a dog demon? Why is he so small?"

"He must have Taken Human Form. Judging by this figure, it should be a female demon."

Feng Yun was eager to come over and help, but was dissuaded by a look from Xiao Bai. He also made a shushing gesture at his lips, telling her to keep quiet.

Xiao Bai was fully prepared. He held his breath, focused, and took a deep breath, preparing to open the legendary demon emperors coffin.

The seemingly heavy coffin lid was lighter than imagined. There were at most eight treasures inside, all of which were collected by Xiao Bai into his qiankun bag to study slowly after returning.

"No way, only these few treasures? Not even enough to split!"

"Such a huge army came over, and the losses were so heavy, yet there's only this much? Is there some mistake?"

"Whatever, I'll put them away first. Finding the Demon Emperors Blood Essence is the priority."

The Blood Moon Demon Emperor wore a golden mask and lay quietly inside the coffin.

Xiao Bai's fingers couldn't help but tremble. This was a level nine Peak Demon Emperor; if he wasn't completely dead or if he was injured by his lingering thoughts, he would definitely be killed in seconds.
