Chapter 328: So this is an ancient armor puppet?

"Everyone is too kind, this is all part of my duty. In the next few stages, I will definitely take first place steadily!"

Xu Que looked at the Acting Cool Points in the system, which were about to break through the 25,000 mark, and felt happy. He laughed and patted his chest, promising that he would continue to act cool in the subsequent trials!

However, this statement made several princes stunned!

The next few stages? You still want to take first place?

Big brother, stop joking, okay? You won't be able to help in the next few stages!

"Young Hero Xu, the next few stages are no longer Divine Steed competitions. You can take a rest; no need to worry anymore!" The Third Prince was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said.

"It's okay, it's okay. I know the next stage is ancient armor puppets, right? Leave it to me!" Xu Que waved his hand and said.

The Seventh Princess had told him before that the Divine Steed trial was just to screen cultivators, and the next stage was to truly enter the Imperial Mausoleum!

This Golden Origin Country's Imperial Mausoleum was different from the Fire Yuan Kingdom's.

Or rather, it was completely not on the same level.

The Fire Yuan Kingdom's Imperial Mausoleum was still the kind of traditional tomb Xu Que knew, mostly earth-made buildings and brick-stone structures.

But the Golden Origin Country's Imperial Mausoleum was mostly built with all kinds of strange metal materials, and it shone brightly in the sun, quite dazzling.

However, there was one common point, which was that whether it was the Fire Yuan Kingdom's Imperial Mausoleum or the Golden Origin Country's Imperial Mausoleum, they both possessed powerful restrictions.

These restrictions could prohibit all spells and magical artifacts triggered by spiritual energy, and could play a very good protective role for the entire Golden Origin Country's Imperial Mausoleum.

Therefore, those spells and immortal techniques couldn't work, but Xu Que could use an excavator to quickly dig open the Fire Yuan Kingdom's Imperial Mausoleum.

It was just that this Golden Origin Country's Imperial Mausoleum was built with all kinds of powerful metal materials. If Xu Que didn't have this competition opportunity, relying on driving an excavator to break in hard, I'm afraid it would be somewhat difficult.

……

Following the crowd toward the entrance of the Imperial Mausoleum, walking to the front, Xu Que paused slightly and was instantly amused!

At the entrance of this Imperial Mausoleum, there was actually a "big underpants" standing there.

It looked almost the same as the "big underpants" of CCTV, but the Seventh Princess beside Xu Que informed him that this was a totem of their Golden Origin Country.

"I say, your Golden Origin Country is quite fun! You didn't pick anything else as a totem, but you picked 'big underpants'..." Xu Que stared at the big underpants and said with a smile.

"Young Master Xu! Don't underestimate the totem of our Golden Origin Country. According to Father Emperor, the totem of the Imperial Mausoleum can absorb the Golden Origin spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then continuously supply it to the ancient armor puppets and other mechanisms inside the Imperial Mausoleum..." The Seventh Princess's small mouth behind the veil pouted slightly.

"Yo! I didn't expect this big underpants to have this function? Maybe I'll get one and hang it outside another day..."

Xu Que smacked his lips while pondering, and followed the main force to the outside of the entrance.

The first stage inside the Imperial Mausoleum was to face ancient armor puppets!

Because this stage was set with restrictions, it would detect the cultivation strength of the people entering the Imperial Mausoleum and the level of the magical artifacts on their bodies!

If the entrants were stronger, or their magical artifacts were stronger, the thousands of ancient armor puppets inside, which were endless, would become more powerful and crazy!

Therefore, over the years, the Golden Emperor had figured out that only by letting Nascent Soul Stage cultivators enter would the strength of the ancient armor puppets be just stable at the Nascent Soul Stage, and the difficulty wouldn't be too terrifying!

Moreover, this required cultivators not to carry high-grade magical artifacts to stabilize this situation!

Once, during a trial, the Golden Emperor sent over a hundred Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to enter, and the strength of the ancient armor puppets directly soared to the Infant Transformation Stage, killing everyone in seconds!

Later, the Golden Emperor sent fifty Nascent Soul Stage cultivators carrying high-grade magical artifacts, and the strength of the ancient armor puppets still rose to the Infant Transformation Stage!

Until finally, fifty Nascent Soul Stage cultivators entered without carrying any high-grade magical artifacts, and the strength of those ancient armor puppets finally stabilized at the Nascent Soul Stage!

So they figured out a way, which was to carry all kinds of materials into the Imperial Mausoleum, and after the strength of the ancient armor puppets stabilized at the Nascent Soul Stage, some people would be responsible for dealing with the puppets, while others would refine the materials into high-grade magical artifacts to counter the puppets!

So this stage tested the strength in artifact refining!

"Young Hero Xu, could it be that you know how to refine artifacts?" The Third Prince asked suspiciously.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows: "Of course, I am a one-star artifact refiner!"

One-star?

Several people almost wanted to vomit blood upon hearing this!

Big brother, you are embarrassed to say you are a one-star artifact refiner?

And you said it so confidently?

Are you kidding me?

"Hehe, one-star level is forget it! Since you have already won the first stage for the Third Prince, just help defend against the puppets later and win time for me to refine artifacts!" At this moment, a middle-aged man beside the Third Prince smiled faintly and said.

"Yo, who is this..."

"Young Master Xu, let me introduce you. This is the six-star artifact refiner—Zhou Linfeng!" The Seventh Princess hurriedly stood out and introduced the middle-aged man to Xu Que!

Clearly, the status of a six-star artifact refiner was very noble!

The attitude of the Third Prince, the Seventh Princess, and the others was enough to show this point.

"Young Hero Xu, this second stage will be left to Master Zhou. If we can succeed this time, I will definitely keep the kindness of you two in mind!" The Third Prince smiled slightly.

After Xu Que helped him take first place in the first stage, he was full of hope for competing for the Crown Prince position, and now he only hoped to pass the second stage smoothly!

And Xu Que actually didn't know what those ancient armor puppets looked like. If he really had to use magical artifacts to deal with them, he would at most exchange for awesome magical artifacts from the system mall, or let the Sword Spirit out to start a massacre!

He didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement!

After all, his real goal for this trip was the Primordial Golden Spirit Grass on the dragon vein!

……

Soon, everyone was fully prepared, and the teams of all the princes, plus some disciples from sects who came to participate in the trial, all gathered in front of the Imperial Mausoleum entrance!

The line was very long, and everyone had to be inspected; high-grade magical artifacts were not allowed to be brought in!

Xu Que's things were all hidden in the system storage space, so naturally, they wouldn't be detected, and he successfully passed the Imperial Mausoleum entrance.

The others carried all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, refining materials, and walked in one by one.

The Third Prince, the Seventh Princess, and the others also had to participate in this stage, responsible for guarding the pass for Zhou Linfeng, helping him defend against ancient armor puppets, and winning time for him to refine high-grade magical artifacts!

Soon, everyone entered the Imperial Mausoleum, and the old eunuch beside the Golden Emperor also shouted loudly!

"The second trial, now begins!"

……

Boom!

Instantly, a loud sound rang out!

The entire Imperial Mausoleum shook, the entrance restriction opened instantly, and a burst of muffled sounds came from the dim Imperial Mausoleum passage!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

That was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, rhythmic, approaching the crowd!

Xu Que narrowed his eyes slightly, swept his gaze, and after seeing those rows of black shadows approaching in the darkness, he was instantly stunned!

"Damn, this thing is an ancient armor puppet?" ===== CHAPTER 329 =====
