Chapter 247 The Cave Dwelling is Destroyed
The Spirit Crystal Heart Doll passed through the Nine Phoenix Remains. Ning Xiaoxi observed carefully and found that it did not touch the protective shield.
Ning Xiaoxi cautiously approached, the light on her scales shimmering. When she touched the protective shield, the scales trembled, and the clear light blended with the shield. Ning Xiaoxi passed through the shield like water merging into a river.
After standing quietly by the protective shield for a while and confirming that no talisman door had opened, Ning Xiaoxi smiled.
Not far ahead, the sand beneath her feet became noticeably shifting. Ning Xiaoxi took a step back and looked down; it was a quicksand area. Sensing the sand, she used her Windwalking Step to follow. The quicksand area was at least twenty miles wide. Besides sand, there were many white bones scattered throughout, likely belonging to those who had strayed into this place and been swallowed by the quicksand. Among them were the remains of humans.
Further in, you can see a huge stone mountain towering in the desert in the distance. Eroded by wind and sand, the once broad mountain body is now rugged and sharp, and there is a sharp wind sound. From a distance, it sounds like a mournful wail, which is terrifying.
Passing through the crevice of the rocky mountain, we discovered a valley surrounded by mountains. The valley was vast, and in its center stood several stone fortresses. The walls of these fortresses, yellowish-brown in color, were inlaid with many luminous crystals. These crystals emitted a soft glow under the moonlight at night, illuminating the tribal land.
The outer perimeter of the stone fortress is filled with sand houses, which were built by the Phantom Beasts using sand and clay from the desert. They are unique in shape, conical with a sharp top, and can effectively resist the sandstorms in the desert.
Ning Xiaoxi looked around and saw that the nearest sand house was ten miles away from the edge of the rocky mountain, which showed how huge the valley was.
The little Spirit Crystal Heart wobbled and slid down the slope, almost reaching the Sand House area.
The place where the mask was placed was not in the residential area. The little figure, who was heading straight for the residential area, turned around and ran around the sand house and stone fortress, heading towards the crevice in the opposite stone mountain.
Ning Xiaoxi quickened her pace, not using too much spiritual power, as too much fluctuation would easily attract attention.
After crossing the crevice in the opposite rocky mountain, Ning Xiaoxi finally saw the place where the masks were placed: the clan ancestral hall.
A solitary five-room house stands amidst countless graves.
The area around the large house was very clean, with no runes, formations, traps, or hidden mechanisms; it was simply a place of worship.
The outer ring is another ring of rocky hills, as if this area is set aside as their burial place.
The little crystal heart climbed the steps, crossed the threshold, and entered the house.
Inside, shelves lined both sides of the room, filled with memorial tablets. In the very center stood an altar, behind which were two coffins.
Ning Xiaoxi was stunned when she saw the two coffins. Were they just going to be placed in public like that?
【Tuanzi, do you think this feels like suppression?】
It's more like they're enjoying the offerings.
Look, this coffin is so clean, there are no runes or seals whatsoever.
[They even carved stabilizing and cleansing talismans on the coffin lid?]
This is truly treating them like ancestors! But it shows that both of them are!
[It's perfectly normal for a family to raise two children, right?]
[Oh my, there's even an insect-repelling talisman! But if the coffin lid is opened, those Phantom Beasts will surely find it, won't they?]
If you've offended someone's ancestors, you can't hide it from them.
【How about we move it?】 We have space anyway, so we can just put it in our space!
[They've been gone since they moved out?]
Who knows? Those weirdos even worship this thing; who knows what unspeakable things they might do!
Ning Xiaoxi went around to the two coffins and began drawing talismans on the ground.
Hey, those coordinates you left before actually came in handy.
Ning Xiaoxi's hands moved quickly. [I can only say that my strange and unusual experience has increased again.]
This time, she didn't use the Spirit Gathering Grass juice when drawing the talisman, as that stuff would leave traces of the array. She only drew the shape, consuming the array in one go.
While Ning Xiaoxi was drawing the talisman, the little spirit crystal heart had already run back to its cave.
Ning Xiaoxi stood between the two coffins, one in each hand, and smiled maliciously. Spiritual energy surged beneath her feet, and teleportation runes suddenly lit up. The two coffins appeared directly in Ning Xiaoxi's cave. As the runes flashed, Ning Xiaoxi disappeared.
One after another, the talismanic gates around the large house opened, revealing a dense crowd of over a hundred people. Several older-looking individuals appeared and immediately ran into the house, while the rest stood guard around it.
"Ah! Who? Who stole the coffin!" A terrified scream came from inside the main house. All the Illusionary Beast Clan members were filled with fear. The ancestor's coffin had actually been stolen?
There wasn't a single trace left inside the house, not even any spiritual energy fluctuations, so they couldn't make any judgment!
Ning Xiaoxi's figure appeared on the spirit crystal brick a hundred miles away, and then took a step forward, a thousand miles away.
"Pfft!" Ning Xiaoxi spat out a mouthful of hot blood as soon as she revealed herself.
Inside the cave, as the two coffins entered the Spirit Crystal Palace, the little beast suddenly woke up and appeared inside the Spirit Crystal Palace, placing its two little paws directly on the two coffins.
"Roar!"
The small body let out a fierce roar, and its anger made the entire cave tremble.
Jiuyu's figure also appeared in the Spirit Crystal Palace, his face no longer showing indifference, but staring angrily at the two coffins.
Ning Xiaoxi appeared in the Spirit Crystal Palace before she could even wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the little beast and Jiuyu in surprise. The little beast's eyes were open, and its eyes, filled with stars and endless darkness, made Ning Xiaoxi quickly lower her head, not even having the courage to look at it.
The small beast exerted its strength, and the coffin burst open, revealing two corpses inside wearing translucent white masks.
As one of the corpses flailed its arms the moment the coffin burst open, Ning Xiaoxi felt a sharp pain in her head, and a crack was torn open in the cave space.
Another corpse whistled as it burrowed into the crevice.
The little beast stepped on the corpse's hand, slamming it heavily to the ground, causing the entire Spirit Crystal Palace to explode into a pile of dust.
The black and white spirit crystal ball in Jiuyu's hand transformed into a cold light and struck the corpse's chest directly. It transformed into a rotating Tai Chi pattern and entered the body, dragging the corpse down and slamming it heavily into the ground.
The Spirit Crystal Heart rolled around, adding a thick layer of armor to Ning Xiaoxi, but the damage came from her mind, so wearing thick armor on her body wouldn't help!
The little silver dragon roared and rushed over, coiling around the corpse like a snake, rendering it immobile.
The small beast suddenly grew larger, opened its mouth wide, and bit into the neck of the corpse at its feet, tearing its neck apart and sending its head rolling away.
The chest of the corpse that was wrapped by the little silver dragon suddenly collapsed, revealing a black hole. The head that had rolled to the ground suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the black hole.
