Chapter 368 Two Fighters Hide Fierce Corpses
Because of the Venus umbrella's influence, the fleeing crowd didn't notice that their teammates were dwindling in number.
Even those who were swept away by the ancient python corpse not far away seemed to be blind, subconsciously ignoring their teammates who had just been running away with them.
The physical and mental exhaustion, coupled with the psychological impact of the chaotic situation, pushed everyone to the brink of collapse.
Until the horses disappeared into the darkness, those who hadn't been caught by the ancient python corpse gathered together.
The light source in their hands left the ancient python corpse with no way to attack, and the situation gradually stabilized.
Cheng Feng glanced at them and counted that there were fewer than forty people left, excluding those captured by the ancient python corpse.
A few unlucky souls also died under the horses' hooves.
These people are generally not very strong, have good willpower, or good luck.
"The ancient python corpse left in the southeast direction. Should we follow it now, or wait until dawn?"
Because they had ample rest time in the imaginary space, Cheng Feng's team is in good condition and can travel through the night without any problem.
"There's no time to lose; finding those who were taken away is the priority."
Without much hesitation, Cheng Feng decided to travel through the night.
The remaining group was of varying quality, and Cheng Feng did not intend to contact them at this time.
As the saying goes, it is not scarcity that is a cause for concern, but inequality. They are now immersed in the fear and anxiety of losing their teammates.
If they find that Cheng Feng's team is well-organized and in high spirits, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.
On the other hand, the remaining ones were mostly independent individuals; the three factions that cooperated with Cheng Feng had basically all been taken away.
Therefore, it's best to catch up as soon as possible.
Bypassing the crowd below who were cleaning up the mess in the ruins, Cheng Feng and the others followed in the dark in the direction the ancient python corpse had left.
On the way, Chen Wenjin checked the time; it was 10:40 p.m., and the entire charge of the horse herd had lasted less than half an hour.
"We need to pick up the pace; those ancient python corpses are incredibly fast."
Chen Wenjin was afraid they would lose track of them, since no one could guarantee that the ancient python corpse wouldn't change direction along the way.
Cheng Feng looked back at everyone's situation, then nodded in agreement.
After the team increased their speed, they became less vigilant about their surroundings. To add an extra layer of protection for the team, Cheng Feng released a large number of Dapu Ghost Insects from the imaginary space.
Then two bands of light, composed of boundless karmic fire, illuminated the path around the group.
These two bands of light are composed of tens of thousands of immeasurable karmic fires, and the pale blue light gathered together looks extremely beautiful.
With the protection of the boundless karmic fire, the group's travel speed increased once again.
Finally, at four o'clock in the morning, the team entered a hilly area. In fact, they had encountered quite a few hills along the way, so at first, Hei Xiazi and the others did not pay much attention to them.
But when Cheng Feng looked up at the sky from time to time, they also noticed the abnormality of the place.
"Am I seeing things? How come the Big Dipper has two extra twin brothers?"
Hei Xiazi said to the Xieling disciples beside him in a joking tone.
The disciple from the Unloading Ridge sect said seriously, "Captain, there are indeed three Big Dipper constellations, but the other two look a little blurry."
It might be an illusion caused by the unique environment here.
"That's right. The reason for the three North Stars is likely due to the special energy of this place. Some secret scrolls record that..."
This type of burial site is known as the "Double Bucket Hidden Fierce Corpse."
It was generally used to bury people who held high positions in life but were inherently cruel and tyrannical.
Having spent many years with the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect, even a stone would have warmed up by now, so Hei Xiazi never held back from these men.
They will also be taught some uncommon knowledge about terrain and feng shui without reservation.
At the head of the procession, Cheng Feng used his geomantic skills to observe the position of the Big Dipper in the sky as he walked.
Under normal circumstances, the terrain where these two fierce corpses hide is the absolute nemesis of the Heavenly Star Feng Shui technique.
The saying goes, "First-rate geomancers observe the stars, second-rate geomancers search for watercourses, and third-rate geomancers roam the mountains."
Under normal circumstances, a master geomancer can determine whether there is a tomb underground simply by observing the stars in the sky.
In special circumstances, even the specifications of the tomb can be discerned.
However, given the current situation with these three Beidou satellites in the sky, even top-notch geomancers would be at a loss in no time.
"Boss, have we come to the wrong place?"
At this moment, Hei Xiazi came to Cheng Feng's side, pointed to the starry sky above, and said to Cheng Feng.
The terrain where the twin tombs hide fierce corpses could never have been an imperial tomb. The owner of the second largest tomb in the world can certainly be an emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
That's why Hei Xiazi asked this question.
"Broaden your horizons; perhaps this is only part of the second largest mausoleum in the world."
Black Bear adjusted his sunglasses. Good heavens, so they're using the Twin-Headed Ferocious Corpse as a burial mound, huh?
This second most dangerous tomb in the world is indeed incredibly ominous.
The hills were covered with lush trees, and it was thanks to Cheng Feng climbing the trees from time to time to find his way that he did not get lost in the woods.
As dawn broke, Cheng Feng and his group reached the top of the hill, where the view ahead opened up.
The trees ahead grew denser, and the terrain gradually rose, with a snow line faintly visible in the distance.
These hills should connect to a very high mountain range, and the snow line indicates that the top of this mountain is covered with snow all year round.
Below the hills and nestled among the dense woods in the distance lies a meadow dotted with pools of varying sizes.
Under the sunlight, these pools shimmered with a hazy, precious light, like pieces of crystal inlaid on the verdant grassland.
This was even when the morning sunlight wasn't very strong.
If it were midday, the dazzling light would probably blind people.
Filled with curiosity about the spectacular sight before them, the group stopped at the nearest pool of water in the grassland.
The pool was crystal clear, and the bottom was covered with crystal-clear chalcedony. This chalcedony was of extremely high quality, and a single piece could sell for tens of thousands of yuan.
But at this moment, the water, covering an area of more than ten square meters, was covered like pebbles.
If someone were to specifically take all the jade from these pools, they could create a behemoth jewelry company.
"No wonder so many people are eager to visit the second-best mausoleum in the world; even the surface is so luxurious."
I can't even imagine how astonishing the actual burial goods must have been.
Chen Wenjin couldn't help but sigh, the Yuan Dynasty truly lived up to its reputation as a dynasty that had plundered half the world's treasures; in comparison, even Genghis Khan's tomb seemed rather shabby.
This is normal, as the Yuan Dynasty's true golden age was during the reign of Kublai Khan.
When Temujin was alive, the world was still not at peace, especially since he died on the battlefield. Compared to the stability of Kublai Khan's era,
It was much more rushed at that time.
"Honey~"
Huo Ling tugged at Cheng Feng's sleeve, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a dragon-like light.
She loved all those sparkling gems.
Cheng Feng could easily understand what this little vixen was thinking, but it was already broad daylight, and the Boundless Demon Eyes could not be used for the time being.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
