Chapter 2148 - 2152: Demon Tomb, Welcome

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

When Qin Tian and Ah Tai entered the Demon Tomb, bizarre sounds echoed from the surrounding dense fog.

Gasping, Qin Tian looked back, seeing no one chasing after them. He relaxed, saying, "It seems that woman is also afraid of this place and dares not enter."

Qin Tian and Ah Tai stopped. At this moment, he was slightly injured, while Ah Tai's injuries were even more severe. On a vacant plot, Qin Tian stopped to tend to Ah Tai's wounds.

The eerie atmosphere persisted around them. Qin Tian was highly vigilant, aware of the dangers lurking within.

After applying medicine to Ah Tai, he placed Ah Tai back into the Pet Bag. Then, once calm, he intended to return the way they came and exit the Demon Tomb.

However, after walking back for over ten minutes, he realized there was no way out in the fog or rather, he couldn't find an exit.

The Demon Tomb, true to the legends, allows entry but not exit; escape is impossible.

He tried to fly, but leaping up, he could only ascend four meters off the ground. Instantly, a tremendous pressure from above made flying impossible, forcing Qin Tian out of the air in less than five seconds.

"Damn... Am I truly trapped here to die?"

Qin Tian was annoyed but helpless. At least he escaped the pursuit of Fairy Miao Yin and Jin Lin, prolonging his life a bit further.

Stabilizing his emotions, Qin Tian quickly retrieved the ice coffin from the Storage Bag.

The lidless ice coffin revealed Mu Yunxi's bloodless face at first glance, causing Qin Tian's heart to wrench in anguish, clenching his fists.

"Jin Lin, that bastard! Friends of the family, yet he could be so ruthless! Truly inhuman!"

Furious, Qin Tian hurriedly lifted Mu Yunxi out of the ice coffin, holding her in his arms.

He tried using various Spiritual Medicines and Reviving Pills to revive Mu Yunxi, but after ingesting all the Elixirs, there was still no response from Mu Yunxi.

Utterly crestfallen, Qin Tian gazed at Mu Yunxi's entire body, realizing she was thinner by at least two circles than before, as though blood had been drained, appearing pallid and emaciated, stirring Qin Tian's distress.

Neither Elixirs nor infusing True Qi worked; Qin Tian felt helpless.

"This Demon Tomb is a place of wonders. Having arrived here and survived implies destiny connects me to this place. Since it's where the Great Demon God was laid to rest, surely it holds numerous treasures. I might as well search for some, just in case there's a revival Elixir."

Left with no options, Qin Tian returned Mu Yunxi to the ice coffin and temporarily sealed her body with Cold Ice True Qi to prevent any issues.

Stowing the entire ice coffin into the Storage Bag, Qin Tian cautiously ventured deeper into the Demon Tomb.

According to rumors, this place is eerie and perilous. Upon arrival, Qin Tian hadn't delved deeply yet faced no immediate dangers.

Nonetheless, he proceeded cautiously, slowly recovering by ingesting Elixirs while heading into the depths of the fog, curious about the true appearance of the Demon Tomb beyond the mist.

This was a mountain range; Qin Tian tread through the forest, ascending as the fog gradually thinned.

Finally, after half an hour, Qin Tian emerged from the fog.

"Here seems no different from other mountain ranges."

Standing midway up the mountain, Qin Tian glanced back. Clouds of white fog enveloped him, obscuring the distant view and the outside of the Demon Tomb, indicating strange spells had been cast here.

Rustle, rustle!

As Qin Tian prepared to keep climbing the mountain, suddenly leaves scattered around, producing a rustling sound!

Qin Tian froze!

Whirr, whirr!

Indeed!

As Qin Tian regained awareness, two black hands abruptly emerged beneath him, seizing his feet!

"Damn!"

Looking down, Qin Tian saw the black hands, emaciated like sticks, humanlike yet black as coal. Fear surged through Qin Tian, his hairs stood on end!

Crucially, these hands struck quickly; only when they grabbed Qin Tian's feet did he react!

"Let go!"

He channeled energy into his feet, trying to escape the grip, but the hands clutched his ankles firmly like iron chains, securing him to the ground!

"Shit!"

Grotesque hands bared their teeth at Qin Tian. Without hesitation, he drew the Red Sword, slicing repeatedly!

Slash, slash!

The hands were severed by the Red Sword!

The severed hands lay before Qin Tian, still twitching and producing white smoke!

Qin Tian never discerned whether the hands grew from the ground or from a person, having seen no one!

"Might be poisonous!"

The smoke, tinged yellow, caught Qin Tian's eye, instantly alerting him. He turned and fled.

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

While striding the ground again, another pair of black hands emerged, capturing Qin Tian's feet unguardedly!

"What the hell is this? Who's causing trouble?!"

Qin Tian felt disgusted, swiftly using the Red Sword to sever the hands once more.

He observed how hands endlessly sprouted from the mountain ground, aiming accurately and fiercely to seize his feet tightly. If not for the Red Sword being a Divine Artifact, Qin Tian feared he couldn't sever the black hands!

"Damn it..."

The endless emergence of black hands made evading impossible, unable to linger airborne for long. Qin Tian was exasperated, deploying the Wave Striding Technique, swiftly tiptoeing to ascend the mountain.

Along the way, Qin Tian encountered numerous Skull remnants, undoubtedly previous intruders seized by ground hands, unable to escape. Some lay on the ground, others clung to tree trunks, but none survived, all turning to piles of bones, some even moss-covered...

Oddly, the Skulls had black hands clasped tightly around their feet, unyielding even after death.

Seeing this, Qin Tian felt uneasy, thinking, "These hands probably aren't human, perhaps a mysterious Formation... horrifying!"

Fortunately, with the Wave Striding Technique, the ground hands caught Qin Tian's feet less frequently. Catching his feet, Qin Tian swiftly severed them with the Red Sword, hastening up until leaving the forest floor behind when the ground finally quieted.
