Chapter 68

"What sound is that?" Liu Wu heard a rumbling sound and frowned.

"Where is the sound coming from? I think you're hallucinating. Hurry up, don't dawdle, or the person will get away." Liu Sanbian urged.

"Oh no, Young Master, it's falling rocks, we need to leave quickly." Looking up, Liu Wu was terrified to see huge boulders rolling down. The rumbling sound was from the boulders. Such terrifying boulders, how could they be stopped? If they weren't careful, they might lose their lives here. The unease he had felt earlier was because of this. Indeed, someone was lying in wait.

"Damn it." Seeing the boulders rolling down from above, Liu Sanbian was also frightened and ran as fast as he could.

"There are boulders ahead too."

"What do we do? Liu Wu, you have to think of something." Seeing the terrifying boulders ahead, Liu Sanbian was at a loss, his face pale, and he hid behind Liu Wu, urging him.

"They're trying to kill us." Liu Wu saw the dense boulders falling ahead and bitterly smiled. What could they do now? They could only try to withstand it, but looking at the continuous falling boulders, Liu Wu had little confidence in blocking them.

"Rumble."

A huge boulder fell, instantly blocking their retreat.

"Damn it."

"Liu Wu, you have to think of something, I order you." Liu Sanbian was trembling with fear, his voice shaking, and he shouted at Liu Wu.

"Young Master, follow me closely." Liu Wu suddenly punched the stone wall, trying to create a hole to hide in.

Huang Yu, standing on a high place, had been watching Liu Wu and Liu Sanbian. Seeing Liu Wu's action, Huang Yu was secretly surprised. Could this guy actually think of such a method? Truly impressive. However, Huang Yu wouldn't let him dig a hole. A cold light flashed, and a knife appeared in his hand, a fruit knife.

"Throwing Knife Technique."

The fruit knife in Huang Yu's hand turned into a dazzling white light and instantly pierced Liu Wu's back.

"Ah..."

"Thud."

At that moment, a huge boulder fell and smashed into Liu Wu, instantly turning him into a bloody pulp.

"Ah... Liu Wu, Liu Wu, don't die, don't die." Seeing Liu Wu being smashed into a bloody pulp right in front of him, Liu Sanbian was terrified and kept shouting. Only now did he realize how good it was to have Liu Wu protecting him. Now that Liu Wu was dead, could he escape?

Regret, extreme regret. Liu Sanbian was regretting to the extreme. If he hadn't been so impulsive and had listened to Liu Wu, none of this would have happened.

"Come out, come out, don't kill me, whatever you want, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." Liu Sanbian knew this was the person's revenge, wanting to kill him. Now, his only chance of survival was to beg for mercy, hoping the person would spare him.

Huang Yu sneered. Not killing him and letting him go, he wasn't a fool.

Huge boulders kept rolling down.

One of them appeared above Liu Sanbian.

"No, I want to live, I want to live." Liu Sanbian seemed to burst with energy, his eyes bloodshot, and he fiercely struck the stone wall. The wall, already loosened by Liu Wu's strikes, was smashed open by Liu Sanbian, creating a large hole. Seeing this, Liu Sanbian quickly crawled inside.

Huang Yu, seeing this from a distance, was amazed. He didn't expect Liu Sanbian to escape, with such good luck, the stone wall was so loose and hollow inside.

After the boulders fell, Huang Yu leaped up, moving like a gecko, and quickly reached the bottom of the narrow canyon, soon arriving at the place where Liu Sanbian had entered the stone wall.

He punched the boulder blocking the entrance, sending it flying.

Sure enough, it was a cave, no, it was a tomb.

Huang Yu stepped inside, the place was filled with a chilling aura, making him extremely uncomfortable.

However, Huang Yu wasn't worried. He practiced the Thunder Dragon Technique, which was of the lightning attribute, the most yang energy in the world, and had a strong restraining effect on such yin and evil auras.

After stepping into the dark and deep cave, Huang Yu held the Purple Extreme Sword in his hand, better to be cautious.

"Lulu, what kind of place is this?" For unknown things, Huang Yu didn't dare to take too many risks and asked Lulu. Lulu was a system spirit, a powerful one, and seemed to know everything, though she might not always tell him everything.

"The tomb of the King of the Northern Desert in the Central Yuan Kingdom."

"The King of the Northern Desert?" Huang Yu was surprised. The King of the Northern Desert was one of the founding heroes of the Central Yuan Kingdom, second only in strength to the great general Sima Wuhan. Most famous was his steel fists, which had killed countless strong opponents. Later, it was rumored that the King of the Northern Desert fell into evil and was sealed by the great general Sima Wuhan.

"Is... is this the place where the great general Sima Wuhan sealed the King of the Northern Desert?" Huang Yu was shocked. If this was the tomb of the King of the Northern Desert, there must be many treasures. If he could get one or two, wouldn't he be rich?

"Yes, Master, but you're thinking too well. The King of the Northern Desert was indeed sealed by Sima Wuhan because he fell into evil. This tomb, though it appears to be his, he isn't dead, just sealed. Once the seal is broken, he will come back to life." Lulu said, "So, this tomb is full of dangers, even more terrifying than the Black Rock Cave."

"More terrifying than the Black Rock Cave?" Huang Yu frowned. The Black Rock Cave had left a deep impression on him. If not for the Primordial Spirit Talisman, he might have died there. This time, the tomb of the King of the Northern Desert would surely be full of dangers. But to give up like this, he was unwilling. The King of the Northern Desert, what kind of existence was that? His strength was definitely no less than that of Black Rockzi in the Black Rock Cave. The treasures inside, if he could get them, would be a huge fortune.

However, from Lulu's words, it seemed the tomb of the King of the Northern Desert wasn't easy to deal with.

"Master, do you want to go in and get some treasures? To profit from the dead?" Lulu asked.

"Cough, Lulu, what are you saying? The King of the Northern Desert isn't dead yet, right?" Huang Yu was annoyed by Lulu's words.

"Almost dead. If he doesn't get any life force in the next few decades, he'll be dead soon." Lulu said.

"What do you mean?"

"It means the King of the Northern Desert's life force is almost completely gone. Once that last bit of life force is gone, he'll be truly dead." Lulu explained.

"Does that mean we have to leave empty-handed?" Facing such a treasure trove, leaving empty-handed was hard for Huang Yu to accept. "Lulu, are there any good things inside that we can get?"

"Yes, but the danger is great. However, if Master uses the True Spirit Talisman, getting one or two Earth-grade artifacts is possible." Lulu smiled.

"Earth-grade artifacts." Huang Yu's eyes shone. One True Spirit Talisman for two Earth-grade artifacts, it was worth it.

"Master, think carefully. Even with the True Spirit Talisman, there's still danger, and getting Earth-grade artifacts isn't guaranteed. It depends on Master's luck." Lulu added.

"Without entering the tiger's den, how can one get the tiger's cub?" Huang Yu gritted his teeth. Besides, Liu Sanbian had entered, and his mission wasn't complete. If Liu Sanbian could go in, why couldn't he?

...

...

"Lulu, how far is it to the main hall of the King of the Northern Desert's tomb?" Huang Yu walked for a while, guided by Lulu, and didn't encounter any terrifying things, though traps were inevitable. If not for Lulu's warnings, he might have fallen into one.

"Still some distance, but Master has trouble ahead." Lulu said.

"Trouble, what kind of trouble?" Huang Yu became alert. The tomb of the King of the Northern Desert was full of eerie things, with cold winds and eerie howls that made his scalp tingle. This short distance felt like a day to Huang Yu.

"Zombies."

"Zombies? What level?" If they were powerful zombies, he would retreat. If they were just small zombies, he would fight through. His Purple Extreme Sword and Thunder Dragon Technique weren't weak, and it would be a good way to vent his frustration.

"Bronze-armored zombies."

"How many?" Huang Yu frowned. Zombies could be divided into ordinary jumping zombies, iron-armored zombies, bronze-armored zombies, silver-armored zombies, gold-armored zombies, and mummies. If they were just iron-armored zombies, he wouldn't be afraid. With his Purple Extreme Sword and Thunder Dragon Technique, he could handle a few bronze-armored zombies. But if there were too many, he wouldn't waste his strength. Silver-armored zombies were beyond his capabilities.

"Quite a few." Lulu said, "I suggest Master avoid them."

"Since that's the case, let's avoid them. Which way should we go?" Huang Yu listened to Lulu. If there were many, it was better to avoid them. However, there were three paths ahead, and he didn't know which was the right one or the safest, so he asked Lulu.

These three paths were all terrifying. One was covered in bones, another was blood-red and especially eerie, and the last one looked normal but emitted an extremely cold aura, making him shiver. His intuition told him the last path was the most dangerous.

"Choose the last path." Lulu said.

"What?" Huang Yu thought he heard wrong. "Lulu, are you joking? Really the third path? But... but the yin energy here is too terrifying. I feel cold and shivering, as if I'm about to freeze."
