Chapter 95 The Red-Clad Boy in the Black Coffin
"No comment!"
Li Wudao walked out with a dark face, still resentful about the green-haired turtle biting him.
Moreover, this dead tortoise is of unknown origin and was buried beneath this large tomb; it's probably not a good thing, so it's best to stay away from it.
"stop!"
The green-haired tortoise roared and chased after them, angrily saying, "You human brat, don't you have any sense of public decency? You disturbed my slumber, and now you think you can just walk away like this?"
"What do you want?"
Li Wudao frowned, not wanting to pay attention to it, but also worried about being bitten by the turtle.
"Considering that this is your first offense and you were unaware of the situation, I will consider this matter carefully. You can simply compensate me with ten or so thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and then apologize."
The green-haired turtle stretched out its dark neck, revealing a cunning look.
"Do you think thousand-year-old medicinal herbs are as common as cabbages? Ten of them... Why don't you just rob them?!"
Li Wudao laughed in exasperation, wishing he could punch this bastard to death.
Seeing this, the green-haired turtle rolled its eyes and said awkwardly, "How about a thousand-year-old spiritual herb? Consider it making a friend."
Not a single one!
The boy said coldly, his steps never faltering.
Although he really did have it, how could he let this damn guy have it for nothing?
Want to make friends?
He was avoiding this cuckold like the plague, and had no desire to pay any attention to him.
"If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you giving me that look? Tch..."
The green-haired tortoise muttered behind him, carefully putting away the golden coffin, but didn't follow any further.
"Boom——"
Just as Li Wudao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave the underground palace, a loud noise came from deep within.
The ground trembled, the plaster on the walls peeled off, and the stone pillars fell and cracked, as if an earthquake had struck.
Immediately afterwards, the temperature plummeted, as if falling into an ice cave, and a pungent, putrid stench filled the air, making people want to vomit.
"Ptooey! What's that smell? It stinks!"
The green-haired turtle coughed twice, making it shake its head from the fumes.
Outside the underground palace, Li Wudao paused slightly, his eyes sharp.
There was another disturbance deep inside, even more intense than before. Could it be that something from the main burial chamber was about to emerge?!
"call out--"
Just then, a cloud of black mist spread out from the depths of the underground palace at an incredible speed, like an arrow, and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
The putrid smell came from this cloud of black mist, or more precisely, from something within the black mist.
"Coffin...coffin?"
The green-haired turtle exclaimed in surprise, then added in astonishment, "Strange, why is this coffin so short...?"
Upon closer inspection, in the center of the black mist was a pitch-black coffin, deeper than the night itself, completely opaque.
The difference is that this coffin is only 1.5 meters long, which is obviously not a normal size.
"You're already in your coffin, is there any need to make such a fuss?"
Li Wudao secretly grumbled to himself.
However, this also made him realize that the turtle seemed to know nothing about the tomb.
Immediately, he opened his double pupils, and a wisp of dark purple light shone out, piercing straight into the black coffin.
next moment,
Li Wudao's pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned deathly pale, and he turned and ran.
Inside that black coffin, which was only 1.5 meters tall, he saw a boy dressed in red.
His face was as white as wax paper, without a trace of blood, and covered with strange black lines that extended all the way down to his neck.
The moment he saw the boy in red, the boy seemed to sense it and opened his eyes at the same time. His pupils were extremely large, blood red, unlike human eyes.
Immediately, the boy in red grinned, revealing a row of sharp, frost-like teeth, a sight that truly sent chills down his spine.
Is this a human?!
It seems he really did encounter a ghost!
"Hey, human kid, why are you running so fast? It's just a coffin, why are you so scared?"
The green-haired turtle sneered, standing firmly in place like an old dog.
Li Wudao remained silent in the face of the teasing and quietly ran away.
"Damn, what the hell is this?!"
As a result, no sooner had he run out of the underground palace than the green-haired turtle cried out in alarm.
"boom!"
The black coffin opened on its own, and endless black energy emanated from it, covering most of the underground palace in a snap of its fingers. The aura was extremely cold, as if it came from the deepest hell.
Immediately, a young man in red floated up straight, hovering above the black coffin, his body shrouded in black mist, his hair disheveled, obscuring half of his face.
Her fingers were slender and pale, with particularly long and sharp nails, each a foot long, resembling daggers, gleaming with a bright white light, and looking extremely sharp.
The next instant, the red-clad youth's crimson and eerie eyes stared straight at the green-haired turtle in front of him, and he let out a sinister laugh.
Immediately, he rushed forward, his long hair trailing on the ground, his red clothes fluttering, and his sharp claws aimed straight for the green-haired turtle's neck.
"Holy crap, someone actually managed to refine such a secret technique! Could this place be...?"
The green-haired turtle's eyes flickered uncertainly, and it was terrified. Without thinking, it immediately retreated into its shell.
"Kaka——"
The sharp claws gripped the tortoise shell, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing, sparks flying everywhere, which was extremely jarring.
"Human brat, don't run so fast, wait for this saint!"
After the attack, the green-haired turtle dodged and ran away.
"Damn it, you dead turtle, can't you just leave the innocent bystanders to your own death?"
Seeing that he shamelessly followed behind him, Li Wudao's face immediately darkened.
To be honest, that bastard is really despicable; he'd rather follow him than use any other available route.
"You're being really rude. We've known each other for a while now, and we're all in the same boat. We should help each other out."
The green-haired turtle stubbornly refused to leave, shamelessly following the boy not far away.
It is currently severely injured and has not yet recovered. It is not confident that it can kill the red-clothed youth. The price to pay is too high, and it is simply unwilling to do so.
The human boy in front of them, although of low cultivation level, was still reasonably strong and could share a lot of the pressure.
Li Wudao was perfectly aware of its ulterior motives, and sneered, "Who's on the same boat as you, you green-haired turtle? Get lost, or you'll get me killed too!"
Immediately, he used the Heavenly Steps movement technique to maximize his speed, instantly escaping hundreds of meters away.
The green-haired turtle didn't want to exert himself; he cherished his feathers.
You think you can use him as a pawn? No way!
However, to his surprise...
This turtle, with a head resembling a toad, actually followed closely behind, its limbs moving so fast they left afterimages. Its speed was astonishing, and it even seemed poised to overtake them!
Li Wudao was very frustrated and couldn't figure it out.
Damn it, is this even a tortoise? How can it run faster than him? Does that make sense?
At that moment, he suddenly felt relieved.
Perhaps the tortoise and the hare race isn't just a fairy tale; with such stamina, even if the hare were to race for two and a half hours, it wouldn't lose.
"It seems necessary to learn another escape technique."
Li Wudao sighed; his current Heavenly Rank movement technique was clearly insufficient.
If we encounter a powerful enemy, we won't even have a chance to run away.
"It's over, there's no way out!"
Just as he was pondering this, he heard the green-haired turtle's startled cry.
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao snapped out of his daze, looked ahead, and his expression turned grim.
Just a few dozen meters ahead was a dead end!
for a moment,
As if by unspoken agreement, the man and the tortoise turned tail and ran back without hesitation.
However, they encountered the red-clad boy who had caught up with them halfway down the road.
"Oh no..."
Li Wudao's expression was solemn.
The passage is narrow and long, making it unrealistic to try and cross it under these circumstances.
"Kid, there's no other way but to fight!"
The green-haired turtle raised its neck and said in a deep voice, "This guy has already cultivated into a Corpse King, with muscles and bones of copper and iron, and immense strength. His chances of winning in a one-on-one fight are slim..."
"However, with me here, it can't cause any trouble. If we join forces, we can definitely suppress this fiend!"
At this point, the green-haired turtle's eyes darted around, enticing the young man to make his move, and said:
"In that case, I will support you from the rear, so you can attack with peace of mind and I guarantee you will not be in danger."
Hearing this,
Li Wudao's lips twitched, and he cursed mercilessly, "I don't believe you for a second! You bastard, you're wicked and full of evil!"
He had absolutely no trust in this green-haired turtle; if he were to make the first move, there was a very high chance that the turtle would slip away.
