Chapter 306: The difference between not being able to take one move and being able to take one move

Sensing the movement from the stone gate, Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi looked at each other, then quickly hid to the side, holding their breath and focusing, preparing to observe the situation.

After a while, the stone gate slowly opened, and two stunning women walked out.

They were like fairies walking out of a scroll—one young and beautiful, with eyebrows like paintings, her every gesture carrying the agility and cuteness of a young girl; the other was plump and elegant, with a noble temperament, her every gesture revealing the grace and luxury of a deep-palace consort.

Even Wu Nanzhi, who was accustomed to seeing beauties in the imperial palace, couldn't help but be shocked by the beauty of these two women.

Especially the older woman; her temperament and demeanor were even more appropriate than Wu Nanzhi, a proper consort, as if she were born for the palace.

Wu Nanzhi was secretly surprised, not expecting to encounter such stunning beauties in this deep mountain forest.

The older woman seemed to be sending the younger woman back; after they left the stone gate, they kept walking outward. Perhaps they had to return later, so the older woman didn't close the gate.

Taking this opportunity, Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi looked at each other and tacitly flashed into the stone gate, sneaking into the tomb without any effort.

After entering the tomb, Wu Nanzhi originally thought she would encounter all kinds of dangers, just in time to try out the special technique she had just learned—the special beast-taming ability she learned from Alisha.

But the golden and brilliant scene before her left her dumbfounded: gold bricks paved the floor, jewels were embedded, night-luminescent pearls hung high, and magic tools stood like a forest.

She muttered: "Your Majesty, this is the ancient tomb you spoke of? This is too luxurious!"

Wu Nanzhi was different from Li Chen; she had gone out exploring with her family before and had been to some tombs.

Those tombs had harsh environments, were full of dangers everywhere, and had all kinds of poisonous gases; a moment of carelessness would lead to death.

Originally, hearing Li Chen say he was taking her to a tomb, she even carried things like a "fire starter," hoping it would be useful and she would be praised by Li Chen.

Now it seemed there was no need for it at all.

If Li Chen hadn't said in advance that it was a tomb, Wu Nanzhi would have thought they had entered the national treasury of some super-power.

Even Li Chen, who grew up in the imperial palace, felt that this tomb was indeed very luxurious, with spiritual rhyme so rich it was almost condensing into substance.

Li Chen immediately understood that the system let him come here to let him obtain the wealth here.

Because of previous tasks, Li Chen had already obtained "trusted partners," "powerful spirit beasts," and "cultivation resources."

Then as long as he obtained wealth, he could develop and strengthen his power and make efforts toward ascending the throne.

Even knowing the system's intention, Li Chen was already an emperor, but what emperor would think there was too little wealth? Since the system gave it, he would certainly accept it.

Just finish the task first.

"It seems that the person buried in this tomb shouldn't be an ordinary cultivator; perhaps they are some emperors of ancient times."

Li Chen said in a low voice, his heart starting to guess the identity of the tomb owner.

After all, he was here for the first time and certainly knew nothing about the existence of the Long Di.

The era of the Long Di was too far away from the present, having experienced countless changes of emperors, and had long been submerged in the long river of history.

The two talked in low voices while carefully venturing deep into the tomb.

But without anyone to lead the way, the tomb was full of mechanisms and restrictions.

Wu Nanzhi just stepped on a seemingly ordinary floor, and a rumble came from overhead, with sharp heavy objects falling from the sky.

If it were someone with a low cultivation base, they would need to dodge quickly to avoid being smashed to death.

Li Chen's level was relatively exaggerated; he supported the heavy object with one hand, and with a force, pushed the sharp heavy object back.

"Be careful, the mechanisms here are not simple," Li Chen reminded in a low voice.

Wu Nanzhi stuck out her tongue and nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

The two continued forward and soon encountered a maze arranged by magic treasures.

After entering the maze, the surrounding passages seemed to be an infinite loop; if one couldn't find the correct method, one would be lost here.

Just when Wu Nanzhi was somewhat panicked, Li Chen glanced at it, smiled faintly, and directly reached out to refine the walls and magic tools in the maze one by one.

As these things were refined, the maze was certainly destroyed, the infinitely looping passages disappeared, and the surrounding scene returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, your means are too amazing!" Wu Nanzhi couldn't help but praise.

She had thought of many ways to pass the level, but she just hadn't thought that Li Chen could play like this.

In her view, Li Chen didn't play by the rules at all.

Li Chen smiled and said it was nothing.

After all, a max-level account coming to a "novice dungeon" really wasn't very difficult.

The two continued to venture deep and soon arrived before a magnificent palace.

Around the palace, twenty-four powerful puppet soldiers were arranged neatly, as if guarding something important.

Li Chen glanced at them and found that although these puppet soldiers had good strength, there was nothing special about them.

He turned to Wu Nanzhi and said: "Nanzhi, go and fight these puppets; consider it training."

Wu Nanzhi nodded, took a deep breath, and walked forward.

Through communication with the Holy Tiger in her body, she let the Holy Tiger contribute its power.

Instantly, a gold-and-black energy coat covered her entire body, emitting a terrifying power fluctuation.

As Wu Nanzhi entered this area, the twenty-four puppet soldiers seemed to be activated, attacking according to the trend of the Earthly Fiend formation.

For ordinary cultivators, this was absolutely a major difficulty.

Wu Nanzhi had been near Li Chen for a long time—what scene hadn't she seen? Facing the puppet soldiers rushing toward her quickly.

She didn't retreat but advanced, her attacks fierce and swift, each strike carrying the power of the Holy Tiger, beating the puppet soldiers back step by step.

In Wu Nanzhi's view, as long as she defeated the puppets one by one, she could destroy this Earthly Fiend formation.

But the person who set up the formation had some tricks; whenever a puppet was about to be beaten to pieces, other puppets would top it up.

And the broken puppets would hide to the side and start to recover slowly.

Wu Nanzhi fought more and more anxiously, as if encountering some "low-health" enemies—the enemies were one thread of blood away from being beaten to death.

But just at this time, they were blocked by the enemy's teammates, and she could only watch helplessly as the enemies "recovered health."

After getting hot-headed, she certainly disregarded everything to get rid of the enemy's teammates' interception and rush toward that low-health enemy.

But doing so, Wu Nanzhi fought more and more chaotically and was soon caught by the puppets' flaws.

She, who had originally occupied the advantage, was now in a disadvantageous position.

Just as several puppet soldiers were preparing to give Wu Nanzhi a fatal blow, Li Chen had already appeared beside her at some point.

He waved his hand lightly, as if swatting a fly, and slapped those puppet soldiers away.

The puppet soldiers hadn't even landed on the ground before they disintegrated in mid-air, turning into a pile of fragments.

The other puppets were also shattered by Li Chen in an instant.

As long as they weren't Sage Realm puppets, they couldn't even take one move from Li Chen.

If they were Sage Realm puppets, they could only take one move.
