Chapter 381: 0250 Heavenly Tiger Skeleton (4k)_2

Red Sister always felt something off about what he said.

"You say it comes and goes so easily, how is that any different from our monthly visitor?"

"Let’s go, we need to take a long detour."

...

One week after entering the Void Realm,

The three of them traveled day and night, relying on the Dragon Seeking and Acupoint Pointing technique passed down in Red Sister’s family, they avoided many dangerous places and Heavenly Calamities and arrived in a tranquil valley.

Wang Xian looked at Red Sister and smiled,

"It’s lucky we hired a guide. Everyone has their specialty. Without you, we brothers would easily have blundered into a Heavenly Calamity... Red Sister, impressive!"

Red Sister gave a charming laugh but said nothing.

The valley was shrouded in a dense miasma.

Red Sister, looking at the map, said, "This is the place, but as you know, lands with miasma are prone to nurturing powerful demon ghosts. Whether Nameless Valley is a treasure land or not, I’m not sure. What I can be certain of is, going deeper into the valley is dangerous."

Wang Xian laughed and uttered a universally acknowledged truth,

"We’ve come this far."

Lu Chenzhou sighed,

Yes, we’ve already come this far.

Seven days crossing the forbidden zone, trudging a thousand miles.

Along the way, who knows how many Void Things they had killed.

Red Sister said,

"I’ll lead in front."

Wang Xian said,

"Chenzhou, you follow Red Sister, and I’ll be behind you."

Wang Xian was on full alert. He had promised his master to bring Chenzhou back in one piece., He put on the poison mask and after checking their Advanced Protective Suits, the three plunged into the mist, heading deep into the valley.

A mile later, Red Sister raised her hand to signal a stop,

"Ahead is a beehive of human-faced bees. Human-faced bees are a super-large colony of Void Things, expert in swarm attacks. Our Advanced Protective Suits won’t hold up for long, and the toxic fog they create as a group can corrode power, True Qi, and even True Gang. We need to dash through next, do not get entangled. The beehive extends ten miles in radius below us; it’s inexhaustible."

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Sis, can the Cross Training withstand the toxic fog?"

Red Sister replied,

"It should, but still, it’s better to be cautious."

Red Sister’s long legs flexed, and then, like a peacock flying southeast, she leaped onto the treetops. Wang Xian also displayed his abilities and soared, while Lu Chenzhou used the Swallow Form Body Technique to fly into mid-air, trying his best to avoid the ground nests and not disturb the toxic bees.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As he passed above, Lu Chenzhou saw countless strange toxic bees below with human faces on their backs and their stingers gleaming with a faint light, clearly not to be trifled with.

The toxic bees had keen senses, reacting to the vibrations in the air, and immediately many of them took flight, like a sweeping black wind that made one’s scalp tingle.

Red Sister urged,

"Quick!"

She used the air to propel herself forward, and simultaneously, splendid Seven-Colored True Gang surged around her, her Qi Po taking form, a divine and extraordinary blue peacock spreading its wings high in the sky; the powerful Spiritual Shock wave spread out, knocking many of the toxic bees from the air.

Lu Chenzhou inwardly marveled, truly worthy of being a Martial Arts Master. The next moment, something astonishing happened, the fallen bees flapped their wings and came at them again.

Wang Xian frowned and asked,

"No problem?"

Red Sister’s voice came through,

"Spiritual attacks and sound waves are ineffective against the toxic bees because they are the lowest class of swarm Void Things, inherently mindless. All the toxic bees are controlled by the [Toxic Bee Matriarch] deep in the hive, comparable to a Third Shackles Breaker..."

Wang Xian’s True Gang circulated, smashing one bee after another.

"Should I delve underground and kill the matriarch?"

Red Sister said,

"No! You’ll hardly find where the matriarch hides. Before that, you might get surrounded by countless toxic bees, and by the time you’d want to run, it would be too late."

Ding, ding, ding—

Sounds of metal clashing rang continually around Lu Chenzhou, caused by toxic bees striking their stingers against his protective suit, with a force that made the Golden Body shake like a machine gun.

Above the Martial Arts Tree, there was also an alert sound.

The proficiency of his Ming King Body had actually increased.

That was a small surprise amid the misfortune.

The three of them rushed forward with heads down, Lu Chenzhou grateful for his Cross Training. Without it, relying solely on that power, he wouldn’t have lasted long before being drained dry and left vulnerable.

This valley was not a place for an ordinary Martial Artist to tread.

If not for his senior brother accompanying him, he definitely wouldn’t have come.

Several minutes of running later, the toxic bees finally retreated.

Behind them, the miasma was already filled with poison fog.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the completely ruined Advanced Protective Suit.

If only he had a Cold Silkworm Robe.

Sister Hong revealed a look of joy and suddenly said,

"At last."

Lu Chenzhou and Wang Xian both looked ahead, dimly seeing a mysterious and solemn building hiding in the fog, a seven-story ancient tower with an exotic style.

Wang Xian said,

"This must be the relic of a lost civilization from the Void Realm."

Sister Hong shook her head,

"Perhaps... Who knows if there are treasures."

Wang Xian’s body lit up with a True Gang Barrier,

"Junior brother, stay here, I’ll go take a look."

"Senior brother, be careful."

Wang Xian, holding a Divine Weapon, carefully approached the base of the ancient tower, it was only up close that he could see that the tower seemed to be constructed from the bones of some colossal beast.

Behind the ancient tower, there was also a gigantic beast’s skull with two horns on its head.

Wang Xian’s expression grew solemn, "Just the skull is thirty feet high... The strength of this beast in life, I fear, was no weaker than a Grandmaster, perhaps even stronger."

The beast had been dead for hundreds of years, yet its residual might was still terrifying.

"And this beast’s skull, it somewhat resembles... a tiger."

Wang Xian called out,

"Sister Hong, junior brother, come over."

The Tiger Gall Gun in Lu Chenzhou’s palm trembled with a profound sense of familiarity rising in his heart, and under the connection of heart and mind, he also felt a touch of forlornness and desolation.

Through the fog, he looked at the massive beast’s skull:

"Cha Chihu..."

The outline of the skull was identical to the Cha Chihu by the Blood Pool. Lu Chenzhou, based on the origin of the Divine Weapon, reasonably speculated that the owner of the skull was likely an ancestor of the Cha Chihu that forged the Divine Weapon, not the same one. Tiger King Valley, being of average strength, couldn’t possibly defeat such a giant beast, let alone possess the ability to forge its bones into a Divine Weapon.

Wang Xian’s senses spread out and he said,

"Besides the beast’s remains, the only plausible place for treasure is within that seven-story Bone Tower. Sister Hong, you’re the expert, is there danger inside?"

Sister Hong’s gaze left the skull and she assessed the Bone Tower with a grave look.

"This Bone Tower and skull are integrated as one. My grandfather had explored similar remains in the Void Realm in his early years, and it should be some kind of Array Formation Ritual."

Wang Xian asked,

"Do you understand it, Sister Hong? I’ve heard that your ancient mysterious professions generally have mastery over the art of Qimen Dunjia, so you should be able to decipher arrays, right?"

Sister Hong laughed,

"Don’t think we’re too mystical. Essentially, we still rely on Feng Shui Inspection methods based on mountain veins... This kind of array, it’s not closely related to our Martial Arts, and according to official explanations, it’s closer to the divine mysteries of Evil Gods."

For a moment, they all ran into a difficulty.

The Bone Tower’s main gate was tightly shut, with no other entrance.

Wang Xian said, "My main concern is that the Bone Tower might be suppressing some unrivaled fierce creature, otherwise, we could just force it open with brute strength, but now it’s tricky."

Lu Chenzhou thought of something and said,

"Let me try."

He took out the Tiger Gall Gun.

"Come forth, Dog Ghost!"

In an instant.

Blood smoke curled up, transforming into a spectral shape of a Human Face Heavenly Dog.

Sister Hong’s expression subtly changed,

"Heavenly Dog?"

"Rest assured, this is my Divine Weapon Servant Ghost, controlled by me. It is a Spiritual Body, well-versed in passing through walls; perhaps it can enter without damaging the ancient tower’s structure."

Wang Xian nodded slightly,

"Worth a try."

Sister Hong pondered and then said,

"If anything changes, we’ll retreat immediately."

The Dog Ghost floated to the tightly shut Bone Tower gates.

Instinctively sensing fear, the moment it touched the bone gate, its spiritual body fizzed with bubbles, its form flickered, and it howled mournfully as it left.

Lu Chenzhou took back the weakened Dog Ghost and said helplessly,

"It won’t work."

No wonder the people from Tiger King Valley returned empty-handed, leaving behind only a map for posterity.

Wang Xian frowned and said,

"Junior brother, this place is more complicated than I imagined. For safety, let’s find our master. With his Great Grandmaster strength, he should be able to force it open."

...

Outside the valley.

"Woo... woo... woo..."

Eerie wolf howls rose and fell, and the fog swept away like tides, revealing a creature towering three stories tall, with a human head and deer body, leisurely breaking through the fog. Its antlers branched out like tentacles, spreading into the night sky.
