Chapter 219

~11 min read 2,071 words

The Su Nu Sword Spirit's sniper sword-Qi blasted the two tomb-guarding beasts to pieces.

Fragments exploded everywhere.

"Let's go." Seeing this, Chu Danqing let Yue Lan Wu Ying lead the way.

It was the only one that was purely melee and had strength.

Da Bao's body was too large; if they encountered traps, he wouldn't be able to maneuver in this relatively narrow trap passage.

As a result, Yue Lan Wu Ying had walked less than ten meters when, with a snap, it stepped on a trap.

Dense rain arrows shot out from both sides just like that.

And then... a flying sword swept past, and it was over just like that.

Chu Danqing had even invited a Rank 3 to escort them; this little matter was simply too easy.

"According to my experience, there might be rolling stones, blade walls, and the like next." Chu Danqing joked.

"Brother Chu, this is a bit too childish, isn't it?" Guo Ming smiled and said: "I think it's not even as good as the tomb-guarding beasts."

After he finished speaking, one tomb-guarding beast after another began to move, entering the area illuminated by Chu Danqing's high-intensity flashlight.

Compared to these tomb-guarding beasts that arrived, the two at the entrance were simply the difference between a Teddy and a Tibetan Mastiff.

An extremely fierce aura radiated from their bodies; the Corpse Demon wouldn't even be worth looking at here.

Only the Corpse Flood Dragon, which carried the momentum of heaven and earth to walk the dragon path, could win.

If it weren't for walking the dragon path, the Corpse Flood Dragon would probably be torn alive by this group of tomb-guarding beasts.

The Corpse Flood Dragon can reach A-Tier not because it is powerful, but because of the blessing of the momentum of heaven and earth when walking the dragon path.

Otherwise, it would be at most B-Tier, sitting at the same table as the unrecovered Xuan Nu Zhi; once Xuan Nu Zhi recovers, the Corpse Flood Dragon would only be able to sit at the children's table.

"That's right." The apostle breathed a sigh of relief, thinking his intimidation had worked, and then said: "You killed a follower seed cultivated by a member of our organization's management."

In reality, he not only dislikes tomb-guarding beasts, but he doesn't like this trial world that much either; it's truly hellish.

Da Bao took the first step, activated Ripping Claws, and rushed into the group of tomb-guarding beasts to fight.

"Don't take action yet; let Da Bao gain some experience." Chu Danqing said.

It's rare to have strong enemies and Guo Ming to back him up; it's simply a great opportunity for Da Bao to improve his intuition and instincts.

As for the efficiency being slow and possibly costing more Paradise Points? This doesn't count as a big deal at all; there's no such thing as wanting both.

"I think Da Bao might not be able to handle the big guy." Guo Ming said, and a heavy sound came from the depths of the passage.

A huge black shadow entered the area illuminated by the high-intensity flashlight; it was a huge tomb-guarding beast, with the appearance of a tiger and wolf, combining the respective advantages of feline and canine animals.

However, its head was a bronze skull cast from a human head.

It wasn't lifelike, but truly used an entire human head as a base, with bronze cast over it.

The face on the skull showed a twisted and painful expression, indicating that it wasn't used as raw material for this tomb-guarding beast after death.

But rather, force was used while the person was still alive.

This caused this huge tomb-guarding beast to carry a terrifying grudge far exceeding that possessed by other tomb-guarding beasts.

After death, it became a powerful monster.

Even the Corpse Flood Dragon, when walking the dragon path, would probably have to give this tomb-guarding beast a wide berth.

No wonder Zhong Ting had said before that inside and outside the tomb were two different worlds, and the Corpse Flood Dragon only dared to pass by and didn't dare to destroy the various tombs at the bottom of the Yellow Dragon River.

The tomb-guarding beasts at the entrance of Prince Yuanping's tomb had this much strength, let alone those deeper inside.

Seeing this, Da Bao shifted his gaze to this huge tomb-guarding beast for the first time, and then rushed over with Blood Rage.

The two sides wrestled together directly.

Da Bao now had combat experience against large creatures and tomb-guarding beasts, which gave his instincts and intuition corresponding combat experience.

So he was only beaten back step by step.

"Brother Da Bao's attributes and skills are too low; otherwise, he could win steadily." Guo Ming said, watching this scene.

Da Bao's bloodline and talent are actually quite good.

"He just promoted, after all; improvement also takes time." Chu Danqing said.

There were only fifteen days of high-speed cultivation time in total; Chu Danqing had to improve his mastery skills and also cultivate Da Bao and Da Bai. Being able to activate Da Bao's bloodline and improve his attributes was already quite good.

As Chu Danqing spoke, he saw Da Bao being slapped against the wall by the tomb-guarding beast.

Da Bai immediately performed overflow healing, causing a shield to be born.

When he hit the wall, the shield was left with only a layer of skin, which was enough to show its damage.

"A pity, leaving the water area made the effect of the Pu Lao Dragon Son invalid; otherwise, Da Bao could also win." While Guo Ming was speaking, the Zi Hour God Queen Sword, Chou Hour Great Luck Sword, and Yin Hour Merit Official Sword in his hands flew together.

With extremely swift speed, they pierced through the small tomb-guarding beasts blocked by Yue Lan Wu Ying, and with one sword, they all disintegrated.

At the same time, they were also nailed to the right palm raised by the large tomb-guarding beast for the first time; if this palm had landed solidly, even with the shield Da Bai stacked for Da Bao, he might not have been able to withstand it.

So Guo Ming chose to save people first, then the remaining two flying swords arrived; one chose to cut off the tomb-guarding beast's neck, and the other attacked its skull.

His three swords were indeed very effective; the tomb-guarding beast's right palm was nailed firmly in the passage, restricting its movement, the skull first suffered piercing damage, and then the neck was cut off on the spot.

When the skull fell, a large number of intertwined corpses were exposed in the cross-section of the neck, and a strong foul odor was emitted.

This huge tomb-guarding beast didn't just use one person, but was filled with people inside.

At first glance, it looked like a large lump of unmilled corpse filling wrapped in bronze dumpling skin.

Guo Ming's expression changed, and he decisively used a spell to clear the odor.

Chu Danqing and Da Bao had shields to isolate it, Da Bai was in Chu Danqing's brain, and the Son of Imperial Heaven, Ghost Grudge Mother, and Yue Lan Wu Ying ignored it directly.

As for the Beast-Faced Armored Warriors, because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to maneuver inside the tomb, they were cancelled.

Chu Danqing let Da Bai cast an overflow healing shield on Guo Ming and the Su Nu Sword Spirit for isolation.

It wasn't just to isolate the odor, but the foul stench emitted actually carried damage, and the shields on their bodies were being corroded.

The tomb-guarding beast wasn't dead yet, but gurgled and stretched out its left palm to catch its fallen skull, intending to install it back.

But Guo Ming's speed was one step faster; the two flying swords crossed, immediately twisting the tomb-guarding beast's body into three segments of corpses.

The tomb-guarding beast collapsed with a crash, and the corpses inside flowed out like water.

"No treasure chest?" Chu Danqing was also puzzled when he saw this scene.

"No, it's not dead yet." Guo Ming said, and the three flying swords returned, also taking the opportunity to pull Da Bao back.

Before Chu Danqing could ask what he was going to do, he saw the corpses flowing out of the tomb-guarding beast standing up in a strange posture.

Because the corpses were all stuck together, it was extremely terrifying when they stood up.

"There are indeed many tricks." Guo Ming said, taking a red-skinned gourd from his storage bag: "Fortunately, the Guo clan has quite a bit of wealth."

As the words fell, he threw the red-skinned gourd toward the tomb-guarding beast and the group of strange corpses.

In an instant, a raging fire exploded.

The tomb-guarding beast and the group of strange corpses were swallowed instantly; before long, the former was burned into a pool of copper water, and the latter became a pile of ashes.

"Even you couldn't kill it?" Chu Danqing was truly somewhat surprised.

"No, it was just too troublesome." Guo Ming said honestly: "Instead of wasting time, it's better to use some small means."

Chu Danqing didn't know what quality this red-skinned gourd was, but with the Guo clan's extravagance, it must be of high value.

With the death of the tomb-guarding beast, no treasure chest appeared on its corpse.

"Not right." Guo Ming suddenly felt something and said: "I originally thought this poisonous miasma was the work of this tomb-guarding beast."

"But now the tomb-guarding beast is dead, and the original poisonous miasma has been burned away, yet it still exists."

"This shows that the poisonous miasma wasn't carried by the tomb-guarding beast, but came from the tomb itself." Guo Ming looked at the shield value on his body, which was still decreasing.

Chu Danqing didn't feel much, because the lost shield value wasn't recovering as fast as it was being lost.

Guo Ming was powerful and not bad in terms of perception, which is why he noticed the subtle changes.

Otherwise, if it were Chu Danqing, he would at most smell some foul odor.

"Don't worry for now; I'll have Da Bai pay attention to our shields." Chu Danqing said.

The strength of the overflow healing shield might not be high, but the effect is very good, especially since everyone present is at full health.

Da Bai performed group healing directly, which was a double shield buff; although the shield time provided by group healing was only thirty seconds, it could stack the limit.

The only pity is that each stacked shield is calculated independently rather than cumulatively.

"This gave me a slap in the face just as we entered the door; it's worthy of being an S-Tier chain mission." Chu Danqing didn't feel anything was wrong.

Don't look at how fast the tomb-guarding beast died; that's because he had the Rank 3 Guo Ming as the main damage dealer. If he had to rely solely on Da Bao and the Son of Imperial Heaven, the tomb-guarding beast would have been a fierce battle for him.

"This time, Su Nu and I will lead the way; you have Brother Da Bao and Yue Lan Wu Ying protect you from the rear, Brother Chu." Guo Ming adjusted his strategy immediately.

S-Tier indeed made him feel wary.

If this difficulty were placed at the end, Guo Ming would only be chatting happily with Chu Danqing, treating it as an outing.

Now it won't do; he can no longer have a dismissive mentality.

Chu Danqing's promotion in rank made him understand that the Paradise was also starting to increase the intensity.

"Good, I'll trouble you, Brother Guo." Chu Danqing certainly wouldn't be stubborn and insist on walking in front.

As a summoner, being protected in the center is the most reasonable thing imaginable.

After making arrangements, Guo Ming protected everyone with three flying swords, held the Su Nu Sword himself to walk in front, while the Su Nu Sword Spirit floated behind Guo Ming to provide support and simultaneously pay attention to Chu Danqing's safety.

Guo Ming had a foundation/mastery of swordsmanship, as well as Sword Heart Clarity and sword cultivation arts; the tacit understanding between him, the Su Nu Sword, and the sword spirit was naturally extremely close.

There was no need to even speak; a single thought would make it known.
