The mist obscured vision, but it couldn't block Lu Wen's spiritual perception.
After moving forward for a distance in the right direction, Lu Wen saw a violent flow of energy ahead.
From an overall view in the sky, there was a large amount of energy flowing throughout the area of Duke Xian's Tomb, and nine-tenths of it was resentment.
The rest was Yin Qi, Sha Qi, with very little spiritual energy, which could be directly ignored.
The core of this energy flow was in the mountains ahead.
Lu Wen observed carefully and guessed in his heart: "This should be the central mountain of Duke Xian's Tomb. There are many Bichen techniques set up by Duke Xian in the mountain's belly, and on top of the mountain is the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace built with a large amount of manpower and resources. The center of the energy flow is in the mountain's belly, is that the Huo Family Immortal Insect?"
Lu Wen recalled the information about Duke Xian's Tomb and found the Huo Family Immortal Insect in the original plot, which had a copper box in its body containing a natural jade fetus, a mountain demon skeleton, and a blue three-legged bronze toad.
This blue three-legged bronze toad was made from a peculiar meteorite, containing mysterious energy, and was the core object of Duke Xian's Tomb.
Thinking about this, besides the Huo Family Immortal Insect, Lu Wen also developed a few interests in this three-legged bronze toad.
Flying around the foot of the mountain, Lu Wen quickly found the passage leading into the mountain's belly through his perception.
Riding the flying centipede, he charged straight through the tunnel and came to a different world. In this mountain's belly, there was actually a forest.
But upon closer inspection, the trees of this forest were all dead, petrified, serving as a decorative purpose.
"This is already within the tomb of Duke Xian, right? Next, we'll have to deal with those Bichen creations." Chen Yu Lou was somewhat eager to see what monsters he would encounter, and what methods Lu Wen would use to deal with them.
Partridge Whistle recalled his observations along the way and said, "The construction style of this Duke Xian's Tomb isn't based on ancient Shenzhou culture. Feng Shui secrets won't work in this tomb."
"It's alright. The true tomb of Duke Xian is deep within the mountain beneath our feet. There are a lot of strange monsters ahead, just a taste of these Bichen creations." Lu Wen said, waving his hand and releasing five teams of Yin Spirit warriors, ordering them to move forward.
The space here was narrow, too many Yin Spirit warriors would become crowded.
Seeing the Yin Spirit warriors transforming into human-sized figures, Chen Yu Lou, Partridge Whistle, and the others didn't change their expressions, only muttering to themselves, "As expected."
Continuing forward, some strange-looking monsters appeared.
These monsters had twisted limbs, and even in death, their faces wore endless resentment and pain.
"This is Duke Xian using Bichen techniques to create anti-theft mechanisms? It's truly cruel and inhumane." Bailizi said.
The others also looked grim.
The number of human cocoons was small, and their combat strength was inferior to Lu Wen's Spirit Warriors, and they were directly pushed aside and destroyed.
Lu Wen frowned, thinking for a moment before opening the Emperor's Banner and capturing the souls of these cocoons.
The captured and suppressed souls emitted endless resentment and Sha Qi.
These souls were all young girls, the form they had before being made into human cocoons by Bichen techniques.
These souls were only visible to Lu Wen. Ordinary people, unless they were gifted with Yin-Yang Eyes, wouldn't be able to see the existence of souls.
Before anyone could sigh, Lu Wen controlled the team to continue forward, passing through a narrow passage, a pool of water came into view.
Lu Wen and the others made a lot of noise, alarming the monsters in the pool.
Countless white human cocoons emerged from the water, like ants, they piled up along the cliff wall, using the method of stacking people to attack Lu Wen and the others on the high platform.
Lu Wen and the women, like Daito Yako, had seen a lot of zombies in the apocalyptic zombie world, so they were immune to such scenes.
But Chen Yu Lou, Partridge Whistle, and the others felt their hearts turn to ice as they saw the bizarrely twisted limbs of the human cocoons, as well as the faces full of endless resentment.
But the Yin Spirit warriors under Lu Wen's command had no such feeling. Before the human cocoons could pile up and climb up the cliff, they leaped down and flew to attack.
The few teams of Yin Spirit warriors were lined up in rows, their movements as slow as a forest, their attacks like fire.
Waving the weapons in their hands, they severed the bodies of the human cocoons with a single strike.
"These monsters are so weak? Or is Master Lu's strength more powerful?" Chen Yu Lou, Partridge Whistle, and the others were shocked, constantly speculating in their hearts.
Lu Wen sensed a powerful life force approaching from the bottom of the lake: "Is it the Huo Family Immortal Insect? Let's try the attack method I learned recently."
He didn't dare underestimate the Huo Family Immortal Insect. He took out a shuttle from his spatial pocket, mobilized energy to construct an electromagnetic acceleration track, and began to accumulate energy.
The accumulation of a large amount of energy made it visible to ordinary people.
Daito Yako, the other women, Chen Yu Lou, Partridge Whistle, and the others all saw wisps of energy flowing in front of Lu Wen, forming a shape similar to a flat cannon barrel.
They guessed that a strong enemy had arrived and immediately became careful even with their breathing.
Time seemed to slow down. They had never felt that dozens of seconds could pass so slowly.
The Yin Spirit warriors engaged in a one-sided massacre against the human cocoons. A large number of cocoons were killed, their souls captured and suppressed in the Emperor's Banner.
The energy gathering device had been running since entering Duke Xian's Tomb, and a large amount of energy had been gathered in the device.
The Yin Spirit warriors who were not fighting in the Emperor's Banner were all absorbing this energy to cultivate and become stronger.
The Huo Family Immortal Insect was awakened by the battle between the Yin Spirit warriors and the human cocoons. It slowly woke up from its slumber and regained its senses after a moment.
It remembered its mission, and with its dissatisfaction at being awakened from its sleep, its huge body twisted, moving towards the source of the noise.
The human cocoons that were slaughtered by the Yin Spirit warriors, filled with resentment, were not afraid to retreat even as many of them died.
But the Huo Family Immortal Insect was a higher-level Bichen creation. Sensing that the Huo Family Immortal Insect had woken up and was approaching, the human cocoons began to fear.
The surviving human cocoons sank into the water and pretended to be dead.
"The big guy is coming." Lu Wen also became serious. His perception had spread out and he had activated brain overclocking.
As soon as the Huo Family Immortal Insect showed its head, he would activate the electromagnetic cannon and kill it instantly.
This Huo Family Immortal Insect was a life form with a special body structure.
Like how ants can lift hundreds of times their weight, with its special body structure, the Huo Family Immortal Insect had a powerful survival ability.
Relying on its powerful survival ability, the Huo Family Immortal Insect was fearless. It sensed the presence of Lu Wen and the others and directly charged forward in a frontal attack.
The Huo Family Immortal Insect revealed its true form, its massive size brought a great shock to everyone's minds.
Having accumulated energy for almost a minute, Lu Wen locked onto the Huo Family Immortal Insect the moment it attacked, predicting its attack trajectory. With a thought, he changed the properties of the energy.
With a soft "buzz", the shuttle was launched from the electromagnetic acceleration track.
Daito Yako, Chen Yu Lou, Partridge Whistle, and the others only felt a slight flash of light in front of their eyes, followed by a soft sound that made their bodies numb. Then, they saw the giant monster's head severed by an unknown attack.
Only after seeing the giant monster injured did they hear a loud "boom".
