Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 761 - 254: Heavenly Fox Tomb (Part 2)
Ordinary houses have four walls and a door.
But in this spacious stone house, there are also four walls, yet four doors.
The doors are the usual stone gates, apart from the western door through which Yun Sheng entered, there are three other doors respectively to the east, south, and north.
All three stone gates are firmly closed and seem to have not been opened for a long time.
"Bo Bo, master, these doors were left by the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader. Behind one of them is a passage leading out. But to find the passage, all stone gates must be opened," Bo Bo mused around the doors.
The scattered skeletons were probably like Yun Sheng, who, by some fortunate coincidence, entered the Heavenly Fox Tomb.
It seems that compared to other Beast Kings, the Heavenly Fox Ancestor was much trickier.
Leaving this place is not easy, Yun Sheng thought with a wry smile. Those skeletons must be the remains of people who couldn’t open all three doors and couldn’t leave the Heavenly Fox Tomb.
Yun Sheng examined the skeletons and the magic scepter beside them and shockingly discovered that among these skeletons, some had powers that had even reached the Holy Sanctuary Mage King.
Most people’s powers were around that of a Sky Mage.
If even these people were trapped here, one wonders what sort of bizarre creatures lay beyond those three doors.
Yun Sheng glanced at the Time Hourglass in her Beast Language Ring; more than a day and night, a full sixteen hours, had passed since she entered the inner ring of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.
In her ring, she still had some Detoxification Pills, a bag of water, and some Blood Teeth Crocodile meat.
All things considered, she could hold out for at most about three more days.
Regardless, she must give it a try.
The way to open the stone gate was similar to the first one; simply smearing blood on the stone gate would suffice.
Yun Sheng thought about it and chose the door with the fewest skeletons, which was the south gate.
Blood dripped onto the stone gate and was quickly absorbed by the age-long parched gate.
"Ka ka ka," as soon as the stone gate was opened.
Six dark shadows burst out from within.
These were a few Xuanwu Warriors, more than three meters tall, made of black basalt.
These warriors had a soul stone embedded in their foreheads and exuded a brutal aura, eyes and all.
Yun Sheng, upon seeing these stone monsters, was not too surprised.
Bo Bo had mentioned that the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader was a great magician, and among the Bahuang Tribe, the Heavenly Fox Clan was a clan proficient in the art of witchcraft and medicine.
As the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Fox Clan, it’s likely that the tomb holds a plethora of bizarre creatures.
The Xuanwu Warriors were a special invention of the Heavenly Fox Clan Leader. Although they lacked life, they had human-like senses, keen to detect enemies and immune to pain, exceptionally sturdy and capable of launching attacks.
High-level Xuanwu Warriors could even unleash certain combat skills.
These warriors were even stronger than the Demon Warriors that Ye Beiming previously gifted to Yun Sheng.
Without waiting for Yun Sheng to think further, the Xuanwu Warriors launched an attack on her.
As the stone gate opened, the Xuanwu Warriors sensed someone intruding into the tomb, their soul stones on their foreheads gleaming brightly.
Lifting indestructible iron fists, they launched a punch towards Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng, relying on her superior movement technique, dodged the attack.
However, the fierce punch from the Xuanwu Warrior grazed Yun Sheng’s cheek painfully.
Realizing the agility of their opponent, the six Xuanwu Warriors also changed their strategy. They encircled Yun Sheng, continuously launching multiple swift punches, one after another.
In just a moment, fists danced wildly around Yun Sheng, and a slightest carelessness would result in her being struck.
Yun Sheng leapt up, aiming her magic wand at one of the Xuanwu Warriors, a Fire Flame Burst shot out instantly.
Boom!
The Fire Flame Burst hit the body of the Xuanwu Warrior.
But the blazing flames were utterly ineffective against these stone monsters.
Yun Sheng’s strike missed, losing her initial advantage.
Although those Xuanwu Warriors had keen senses, their slowness and sluggish reflexes were their fatal flaws.
Yun Sheng swept her long leg and leveraged her force, pushing herself cleverly several steps away.
After breaking free from the encirclement, Yun Sheng began chanting.
On the ground, a series of Dark Thorns exploded forth.
The Xuanwu Warriors stumbled, their hefty bodies crashing to the ground; Yun Sheng took the opportunity to soar into the air, firing a series of Fire Flame Bursts from her Magic Wand.
The Fire Flame Bursts exploded, shattering the soul stones on the foreheads of the Xuanwu Warriors in an instant.
Once the soul stones burst, the several Xuanwu Warriors stopped moving, turning into dead stones.
"Huff huff---" Yun Sheng panted heavily.
She was already injured earlier, and the injury had not yet healed; such exertion coupled with sweating profusely was extremely exhausting.
Yun Sheng could use her Summoned Beasts, but she thought that there might be some abnormally strong opponents behind the next two doors. She decided it was better to save her Summoned Beasts for a critical moment to protect her life.
"Clack clack clack,"
Just as Yun Sheng thought she could rest for a while, the bodies of those Xuanwu Warriors began to twitch again, and the soul stones on their foreheads, which had been shattered, miraculously restored themselves to their original state.
"Damn, this is too twisted. Are they trying to torture someone to death?" Yun Sheng exclaimed, stomping her foot.
But in the next moment, Yun Sheng sighed in relief.
After regenerating, the Xuanwu Warriors didn’t launch into another attack. They stood by the Stone Gate patiently, and the initially closed Stone Gate had also opened.
Hesitantly, Yun Sheng entered the southern door.
In front of her, there was a sudden bright light. Behind the southern door was a secret chamber about ten square meters in size, filled with various transparent crystals of different sizes and qualities.
Heavenly Fox Blood Crystal, the legendary top-grade Magic Crystal that contains a portion of a Heavenly Fox Clan Leader’s power.
There were many white Blood Crystals, roughly over a hundred on a quick count.
Yun Sheng casually picked one up and held it in her hand.
A rich Magic Power transmitted from the crystal.
Such a pure Blood Crystal, Yun Sheng was astonished.
Unlike soul stones, the Magic Power inside Demon Beast Soul Stones usually contains the brutish aura of Demon Beasts, which makes it difficult to absorb.
However, Beast King Blood Crystals are different; they are gentler and the contained Magic Power is much purer.
The owner of this unknown tomb was surely once a Mage of extraordinary power from one of the Bahuang Tribes.
Therefore, after the past many years, his tomb was still able to perfectly preserve such a large quantity of Blood Crystals.
Yun Sheng had an idea and took out a Soul Cleansing Pill; she then sat down cross-legged, holding a Magic Crystal in each hand, and began meditation.
The Magic Power from the white Blood Crystals began to seep into Yun Sheng’s body bit by bit.
This sensation was unprecedented; the Magic Power flowed into Yun Sheng’s body like a trickle.
The Eight Extraordinary Meridians felt as if they had been expanded and opened up all at once.
It might have been two or three hours later.
"Ding"
A pleasant ringing sound echoed, and Yun Sheng felt lighter all over.
After a moment, Yun Sheng took a slow breath and opened her eyes, "Finally, I’ve broken through to become a Sky Mage."
