Chapter 378 Dancer Terracotta Figurine
The words were still echoing in the Corpse Kingdom banquet when the ancient python corpses pounced on everyone present from all directions.
Their bodies are as soft as if they have no bones, but their skin is exceptionally tough.
Even bullets close to the edge of their bodies have their trajectories altered by their skin.
"This thing's body is tougher than rubber, Boss Cheng, please save me!"
As soon as one person shouted for help, the team instantly lost their will to fight and began to retreat.
During this time, a few idiots turned around and ran away, and as a result, they were the first to be entangled by the ancient python corpse.
This time, the ancient python corpse demonstrated its lethality against ordinary people.
As these people were still screaming in terror, part of the ancient python corpse's body turned into black threads and burrowed into their mouths.
Just a few seconds later, the man's eyes bulged and he lost consciousness.
"Old Zhang, can I borrow your knife?"
Cheng Feng opened his right hand to Zhang Qiling, intending to save these people. He couldn't let the cannon fodder be used up before they even entered the Second Mausoleum Under Heaven.
Without saying a word, Zhang Qiling tossed the Black Gold Ancient Sword forward, and the hilt landed precisely in Cheng Feng's hand.
With a swift and fluid flourish, Cheng Feng unleashed a dazzling display of skill, then took three steps at a time and arrived before the crowd in just a few seconds.
The black gold ancient blade slashed across the neck of a python-like ancient corpse in an instant; its tough skin was as thin as paper.
It wasn't until Cheng Feng appeared at another ancient python corpse that its head fell to the ground with a thud.
Cheng Feng used the Seven Star Steps to dodge and weave among the numerous ancient python corpses. Every time his sword flashed, an ancient python corpse's head would fall to the ground.
Since the flares had been extinguished, everyone could only rely on flashlights for light.
In the dim light, Cheng Feng appeared like a ghost to them; one second he was killing a small black dog from more than ten meters away.
He appeared nearby in the next second, and neither sight nor flashlight could keep up with Cheng Feng's speed.
"The boss always uses those strange methods to solve problems. I almost forgot that his physical skills are the most abnormal."
Hei Xiazi slowly sheathed his short sword; it was clear that he didn't need to take action in this situation.
Zhang Qiling was one of the few among them who could clearly see Cheng Feng's movements; he already had a clear understanding of Cheng Feng.
This is a person without any weaknesses; it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was revered as a deity in ancient times.
Five minutes later, only the remains of the ancient python's corpse remained near Cheng Feng.
The ancient python corpses were incredibly agile, capable of scaling walls at breakneck speed. If it weren't for the monsters they guarded being killed, they would have been much more formidable.
Having angered them, Cheng Feng knew it wouldn't be so easy to kill off these dozens of ancient python corpses.
Holding the knife in his hand, Cheng Feng walked back to the group.
"It's a good knife; it's very easy to use to cut people."
With that, Cheng Feng returned the Black Gold Ancient Sword to Zhang Qiling.
"I can't thank you enough, Boss Cheng. You saved me this time. From now on, if you ever need anything, just say the word and I'll go through fire and water for you."
"Me too! If Boss Cheng needs anything from now on, just let Lynx do what he's asked!"
"My rats are the same; they're at my beck and call."
"Me too..."
Everyone expressed their gratitude and loyalty to Cheng Feng.
These tomb raiders were all shrewd and cunning people. This was a legitimate opportunity to curry favor with someone under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude, so how could they miss it?
Cheng Feng raised his hand to signal everyone to stop flattering him, and said a few polite words to bring the situation under control.
Only then did the crowd stop surrounding Cheng Feng.
Afterwards, some people began to collect the remains of their teammates who had died at the hands of the ancient python corpse. Even finding a seat was much better than lying with the monster.
The cannon fodder sent by Huo Xiangu and Chen Pi were also carrying away the manpower lost by their respective teams.
Of the more than thirty people on both sides combined, only eight remained, a devastating loss.
Judging from Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin's attitude, the remaining people on both sides understood that they had been sent specifically to their deaths.
Therefore, the remnants of both sides tacitly huddled together for warmth.
Wu Xie and her team were lucky, and fortunately, the calm Xie Yuchen pulled the curious Wu Xie back in time.
That's how they avoided being attacked by the ancient python corpse when they got close to the cave entrance.
"See? Don't be so curious underground."
Huo Xiuxiu whispered a warning to Wuxie, saying that her childhood friend was good in every way, except that he was a little slow to sense danger.
Wu Xie nodded heavily in agreement. He had been like a sponge the whole way.
Its shriveled body is being continuously filled with seawater called saltwater.
Over here, Chen Wenjin was asking Cheng Feng if they had found any clues about the entrance to the Second Mausoleum Under Heaven.
Under everyone's gaze, Cheng Feng nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"From the gunshots just now, I heard several unusual sounds, one of which should be the entrance to the Second Mausoleum Under Heaven."
Although he discovered several secret passages that appeared to be entrances, Cheng Feng did not immediately intend to activate the mechanisms.
He would have little use for the puppet curse technique in Task 1, but knowing how to use it and not knowing how to use it are two different things.
Therefore, Cheng Feng decided to complete the Ghost Banquet Three Corpses mission first.
"There are still some loose ends to take care of here. You all rest for a while, and we'll head to the Second Mausoleum of the World when I return."
As Cheng Feng gave his instructions, he once again grasped the long-unused Fish Intestine Sword in his hand.
"Okay, honey, please be careful."
After nodding to Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling, Cheng Feng then walked towards the mural on the other wall.
Cheng Feng's actions drew everyone's attention.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Cheng Feng stood before the mural, and then two invisible wind blades instantly slashed at the mural from both sides of Cheng Feng.
Suddenly, a dark hole was broken open in the seemingly solid wall.
Judging from the broken edge of the opening, this is another false wall, with another layer of wood inside.
“I understand now. Behind these three murals are not walls at all, but three huge coffins, and we are in the corner between these three coffins.”
Wu Sansheng said this after the fact.
"Don't worry about what happened after Boss Cheng went in. Everyone, be alert to this wall. If anything tries to escape, hit it hard."
While the crowd outside eyed the still-intact murals covetously, Cheng Feng had already walked along the dark passage into the depths of the enormous wooden coffin.
Along the way, Cheng Feng saw many ancient python corpses, huddled in gaps only the width of a palm, with one eye peeking out as they stared at Cheng Feng as he walked into the tomb.
Since they didn't attack first, Cheng Feng wasn't in a hurry to deal with them.
In short, let's deal with the second of the three corpses at the Ghost Banquet first.
Soon, Cheng Feng reached the end of the passage and arrived at a space filled with terracotta dancer figurines.
These terracotta dancer figurines are completely naked, and every part of their bodies is depicted with exquisite detail, with black where it should be black and white where it should be white.
Moreover, the terracotta dancer figurines were posing in various alluring positions, and Cheng Feng's gaze swept over each of them.
A conclusion was quickly reached.
When all the movements are linked together, it becomes a complete dance.
"Could this be the burial place of a dancer?"
Cheng Feng was slightly puzzled. How could a dancer enjoy the same level of treatment as that kind of monster? This dancer was probably not a simple person.
