“I’m telling you, if my wife becomes a widow, and my son loses his father, it’s all your fault. Them jumping into this cave is simply the same as committing suicide by jumping off a building...” Shorty did not stop mumbling.
Mo Fan let the little Flame Belle lead the way. Her senses were slightly sharper than a Magician’s.
The little Flame Belle seemed extraordinarily excited, as it was her first time being in such a fascinating cave. She waved the fiery robe on her body around and proceeded to guide them on.
“Stay close!” Mo Fan urged Shorty.
There was no way Shorty would dare to stay on his own. He quickly caught up to Mo Fan and his little pet.
The tomb was extremely spacious, and a lot wider than they had imagined. However, due to the thick presence of death, the light from the flames was unable to spread any distance away.
The light produced by the flames could be used as a light source, yet it did not contain the power of the Light Element, which had the effect of driving darkness away or purifying it. Not only would a single Brilliant Light clear the presence of death and miasma away, it would also light up the entire chamber!
“Let go of him, you disgusting corpse!” an agitated scream came from the darkness ahead.
Mo Fan took a closer look and discovered the person to be Yu Qingsu. Her outstanding curves were surrounded by infuriated lightning arcs, producing loud cracks in the air.
Mo Fan glanced further ahead and saw a slightly moldy blue pillar. The pillar seemed to be the main support of the chamber, like the trunk of an ancient towering tree rising to the top to support the ceiling.
( B oxnovel.c om ) Halfway up the pillar, Scar Face was dangling in the air with winding sheets wrapping tightly around his neck. His limbs were tied up, too. Even with his armor, he would simply suffocate to death once he ran out of oxygen after being strangled for too long!
Some distance away from the pillar, the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General was hanging upside down like Spiderman in the air. Its pair of icy, cunning eyes were staring at Yu Qingsu with a hint of mockery. Black blood was still dripping from the wound after its shoulders were blasted open by the lightning, yet the creature did not seem to care.
The Cloth-wrapped Corpse General uttered a weird chuckle, like a cunning fox which had caught its prey.
“Why the hell are you wasting your time talking to it? Let’s kill it and regroup with the army!” Shorty ran forward, panting heavily.
Mo Fan did not want to waste any further time, either. He fixed his gaze on the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General, which was uttering a weird chuckle. It was obvious that the creature possessed some degree of intelligence, and was waiting for Scar Face’s armor to fail. Once the armor disappeared, the creature could easily strangle him to death!
“Little Flame Belle, exterminate it!” said Mo Fan.
Little Flame Belle was extremely excited. She flew straight at the Corpse General with a pleasant chime. The flames on her body grew stronger and bigger in the process.
“What the hell is a Summoned Beast in her Youth Phase going to do? Are you treating our lives as a joke?!” Yu Qingsu screamed after seeing this.
Mo Fan ignored her scream. His eyes continued to scan their surroundings.
For some reason, he kept feeling that the cave tomb was not as simple and empty as it seemed.
The emptiness was still reasonable, since most zombies had gone to the surface to enjoy themselves a ‘nightbath’, thus leaving the cave empty. However, the presence of death was too strong to be comforting. Mo Fan’s Shadow Element was sensing an unusual presence in the dark.
As Little Flame Belle flew higher in the air, the Calamity Fire erupting from her body grew stronger. She had turned from a little puff of flame into a rolling fireball with a diameter of over two meters!
The fireball flew right at the Corpse General. The agile creature immediately reacted and switched positions in the air, yet the fireball that Flame Belle had turned into was agile too, since it was the Flame Belle herself!
The fireball with a diameter of two meters halted in the air for a second, before it flew right in the direction that the Corpse General was moving!
While the fireball was altering its path, its diameter grew another meter, and was now three meters across!
The Corpse General continued to dodge the fireball. The winding sheets it left behind were burned into ashes within seconds. It was likely that the intelligent Corpse General never thought the little fiery creature would possess such an overwhelming power, turning into such a huge fireball!
At the center of the fireball, little Flame Belle uttered a frustrated cry, as if she were trying to say, ‘Stop running, come and fight an enjoyable battle with me!’
The Corpse General was most likely a living dead, instead of an undead without any sense of intelligence. It felt extremely humiliated being challenged by little Flame Belle, yet it had no choice but to keep running. Its greatest weapon, the winding sheets, were utterly useless against the Calamity Fire. On top of that, the fireball that little Flame Belle had turned into now had a diameter of four meters!
( B oxnovel.c om ) A fireball with a diameter of four meters was utterly horrifying, as its width was twice that of an SUV. Even a Giant Corpse General with a sturdy defense stood no chance against it!
“What are you waiting for, standing there? Go and save him!” yelled Mo Fan when he saw Yu Qingsu standing there stunned.
Yu Qingsu’s eyes widened at the sight before her. A little fiery ‘Calabash Sister’ in her Youth Phase was driving the cunning Cloth-wrapped Corpse General all over the chamber. It was similar to a little girl who just started going to kindergarten chasing after an adult gangster on the street with a lighter in her hand!
{TL Note: It’s a reference to ‘Calabash Brothers’. Search it up if you want to get a clearer picture.}
Yu Qingsu quickly controlled her Magic Vines to save Scar Face upon recovering. Blue veins had already surfaced on his face. If they had not saved him, he would definitely have run out of breath.
As Yu Qingsu was focused on saving the hostage with the Magic Vines, an eerie shadow appeared behind her.
The shadow simply rose to its feet behind her. Its outline resembled a devilish goat standing there. Even its downward-curling horns resembled those of a devil!
The shadow of the goat-horned creature was holding a sharp object similar to a dagger in its hand. It was trying to silently slice Yu Qingsu’s throat open...
Yu Qingsu was completely unaware of the creature’s presence, since it was merely a lump of shadow. She even assumed it to be Shorty’s shadow cast by the blazing flames, yet the shadow was none other than a demon beast, one that was fond of slicing its prey’s throat!
“Light Protection: Sacred Shield!”
Shorty cast a Light Spell in the nick of time!
The Light Element was too effective against Dark demon beasts. Even when it was only a pure defensive spell, the light emitted by the Sacred Shield surrounding Yu Qingsu felt like a soldering iron as it made contact with the creature, which began to utter a weird screech as it was burned!
