Chapter 421 Princely Mausoleum, Mysterious Reason
"Click, click..."
Li Ang scratched with the dagger for a while, and suddenly found a groove on Jiaolong's neck, like a key.
"What is this?" Li Ang leaned closer to the front of Jiaolong's spine and looked at it carefully.
The girl also moved closer and identified it carefully, "It seems to be a keyhole? Could it be..."
She looked up at the wall and murmured, "Does the owner of the tomb want to open this door and leave here?"
Li Ang didn't speak, and cut the key smoothly with the dagger across the black scales.
"Click~click~"
The sound of the keys turning became more and more urgent.
The dark wind in the tomb suddenly intensified, whistling in, blowing the clothes of the two of them rattling.
"Look, agency!"
The girl suddenly pointed to the top of the coffin, and said pleasantly: "The dome of the tomb has started to move, quickly open the coffin lid and let them leave!"
The lid of the coffin was slowly closed, revealing the inside of the coffin, which was empty and contained nothing.
The girl froze for a moment, and murmured, "What's going on?"
"Something's wrong..." Li Ang frowned, looking around carefully, his face gradually became serious.
This mausoleum is an ancient princely mausoleum!
There must be more than one prince buried here.
"Boom!"
The heavy coffin lid was raised again, making a loud, deafening noise.
Li Ang opened his eyes suddenly, the pupils turned into bloody vertical pupils, revealing a scarlet light, shooting directly at the ceiling above the tomb.
"Aww!"
He raised his head and roared, a thunderous roar erupted from his throat, like a lion and tiger, full of majesty and anger.
"Boom!"
The coffin lid fell on the floor of the burial chamber, sending up smoke and dust, and a foul stench filled the nostrils, as if the coffin contained Ten Thousand Years of rotting dead flesh.
Li Ang's eyes returned to their original color, but there was still a trace of scarlet deep in the pupils.
"Aww!"
He roared towards the grave, then stood up, and handed the dagger and yellow talisman to the girl.
"This thing is too heavy, help me carry it." Li Ang ordered, "You retreat to the corner first, remember not to leave this tomb, I will be back soon."
"What are you going to do?" the girl asked nervously.
"Find something to eat and fill your stomach."
Li Ang rubbed his hungry stomach, walked out of the tomb, looked around, and found a huge cylindrical pothole at the end of the cave.
The bottom of the cylindrical pothole is covered with a thick layer of soil, with white cobweb-like patterns intertwined into a network, forming a mysterious symbolic pattern.
"This should be the clue left by the owner of the tomb."
Li Ang muttered to himself, "Such a large-scale rune is probably a very complicated and cumbersome array of spells?"
He stretched out his right arm and pressed it on the white spider web pattern, urging the soul power in his body to inject it into the talisman array.
In the next second, countless dazzling golden talisman seals emerged from the spider-like lines, flickering on and off.
Each talisman is rectangular in shape, cast from pure metal, engraved with complex and mysterious textures on the surface, exuding a faint golden brilliance.
"Om—"
The entire tomb trembled suddenly, and all the metal talismans were suspended in the air, turning into a dense meteor shower and flying towards Li Ang.
Li Ang's thoughts moved slightly, a pair of bat wings emerged from his back, and he jumped lightly to avoid it.
Numerous golden talismans were attached to his back, arms and ankles, forming a golden armor.
"These talisman papers can actually enhance defense and store energy...it's not bad."
Li Ang smiled, clenched his fist with his left hand, and slammed it to the ground, a thick Spiritual Qi gushed out, activating the talisman.
In an instant, golden streamers leaked from the cracks in the talisman seals, gathered together, and transformed into a huge golden spider, more than ten meters long, covered with a solid metal shell, and spitting out its fangs.
As soon as the golden spider appeared, it frantically attacked and bit Li Ang.
Li Ang slashed out with a backhand, and the golden spider was beheaded and fell to the ground.
The spider did not disappear, and when the body fell to the ground, it healed quickly and was intact.
"Huh? You don't know the pain..." Li Ang raised his eyebrows.
Not only that, but the corpse's body was still wriggling and struggling, as if it had life.
"This thing is a bit tricky..."
Li Ang clicked his tongue secretly. Just as he was thinking about the solution, the other talismans in the tomb lit up with golden light at the same time, turning into puppets.
The appearance of these puppets is similar to ordinary people, but they have three heads, six arms on the chest and abdomen, and sharp claws extending from the back.
"Hiss!"
A puppet waved its arms and grabbed Li Ang, with a sharp sound of breaking wind, the sharp claws almost scratched his skin.
"Boom!"
On the other side, a puppet raised its right leg and kicked Li Ang.
Li Ang dodged sideways, stretched out his right hand, crushed the puppet's calf, and pulled out a dagger to pierce his throat.
Blood spurted, Li Ang drew out his short sword and stepped back.
"Aww!"
Several puppets strode forward, chasing and killing them fiercely, extremely fast.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Li Ang held the shield in his right hand to block the dagger's thrust, and the dagger in his left hand swept across his waist, beheading the two puppets in an instant.
Although these puppets have weapons, their physical fitness is far inferior to normal humans, and they cannot resist Li Ang's attack at all.
In close combat, Li Ang had an absolute advantage, and within a few minutes, he killed all the puppets.
"Slap." Li Ang threw away his shield and dagger, and sat down on the ground, extremely exhausted.
"Hello!"
Seeing Li Ang lying down, the girl hurried over to help him up, worried, "Are you alright?"
"It's okay...just tired."
Li Ang closed his eyes and panted, "I feel a little strange. The drawing technique of these runes is not superb, but the technique of constructing the rune array is very skilled. Even if a group of apprentice-level wizards work together, it will not be so efficient. .”
"It may be some kind of ancient inheritance, it doesn't require much skill..." the girl comforted.
Li Ang shook his head, "No, these talismans are the latest rune technology, and they are much more complicated than ordinary talismans."
"Oh?" The girl asked in surprise, "Could it be an ancient sacrificial ceremony?"
"Probably."
Li Ang touched the rune imprint on his abdomen, and said: "This is an array of spells, which contains huge soul power. I guess, this tomb should be used by ancient witch priests."
"Sacrifice?" The girl asked suspiciously, "These runes are indeed very similar to the runes of the Wu tribe. Could it be that this is an ancient altar of the Wu tribe?"
Li Ang sighed and said, "Maybe so, but I'm not sure... After all, it's been a thousand years since this place, even if it's the altar of the Wu Clan, I'm afraid it has been abandoned long ago..."
"Didn't you say that this is the tomb of an ancient witch doctor? Since runes are placed in the tomb, they should be sacrificial supplies." The girl guessed.
"That being said, who can guarantee that there are no other sacrificial places?"
