There was originally a painting of a snake with four wings on its back on the wall. At some point, the snake in the painting opened its eyes.
Xu Chunniang felt a chill, as if something was staring at her.
She retracted her gaze, ignored the discomfort, and walked down the stairs.
After walking along the stairs for about half a quarter of an hour, she entered a stone chamber and suddenly felt enlightened.
The walls of the stone chamber no longer had those strange black lines on them, but were covered with murals.
Xu Chunniang looked up and saw that these murals had gone through so many years that they were covered with mottled marks left by the years. She could only barely make out what was painted on them.
She approached the stone wall and examined the murals carefully.
After viewing all the murals, Xu Chunniang finally understood that what was shown in the murals was the life story of a female monarch.
This female monarch was born in troubled times and spent her entire life fighting for the stability of her country. After she finally put down the rebellion, she passed away due to her injuries.
When the lady died, she was less than thirty years old. The whole country mourned and observed three years of mourning.
Xu Chunniang seemed to be thinking about something. Could it be that the place she was in was not some underground palace, but the tomb of this queen
She thought back to the structure of the entire building, and the more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
If this underground palace is a mausoleum, then the burial place of the queen is most likely in the tomb chamber next to this stone chamber.
I just don’t know what the black lines and the numerous puppets at the ninth level of Qi training have to do with this female monarch.
There were no cultivators in the life of the Queen. Although she was the ruler of a country, she was just an ordinary mortal. Logically, she should have nothing to do with the world of immortal cultivation.
But now it seems that it is not that simple.
Xu Chunniang shook her head and walked forward. She would only know all this when she reached the tomb.
It didn't take much effort for her to find the entrance to the tomb.
The stone door at the entrance of the tomb is engraved with black lines and some strange runes.
Xu Chunniang frowned. She was not familiar with witchcraft and didn't know what these runes were used for, but intuitively, she felt that they were not good things.
With a "click", she pushed open the stone door and walked into the tomb.
Before she had time to glance at the scene in the tomb, a beam of sword light swept straight towards where she was standing.
Xu Chunniang's expression changed slightly, and she retreated without hesitation using the Lingxu Step to avoid the sword light.
The second, third, and fourth sword lights followed closely, and as these sword lights rose and fell, four heavy figures walked out of the stone gate.
They were wearing armor and their movements were in unison. They were actually four puppets.
Xu Chunniang narrowly avoided the three sword lights behind her, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. Each of these four puppets had the cultivation level of the initial stage of foundation building.
Puppets rely on instinct to fight, and have the characteristics of high defense, slow movement speed, and lack of flexibility.
Although the puppets' combat strength is not as good as that of cultivators of the same level, four puppets in the early stage of foundation building are simply not something that Xu Chunniang can deal with at her current age.
With her current strength, she can at most deal with a puppet in the early stage of foundation building.
After discovering Xu Chunniang as an intruder, these puppets chased after her relentlessly, swinging their giant swords and attacking her in an attempt to kill the intruder.
Xu Chunniang was in a very miserable state as she was being chased by four puppets in the early stages of foundation building.
Although they can only fight by instinct and their attack speed is not fast, their crushing power is real. She can only rely on her speed advantage to dodge these sword lights.
To give an example, Xu Chunniang is like a nimble mouse, while the four puppets in the early stages of foundation building are like four clumsy big cats.
Although the big cat is slow, the mouse will be torn to pieces if it is hit by a claw of the big cat.
If this continues, it won't be long before the mice are completely beaten to death by the big cats.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly and ran in the direction she came from, but when she reached the stairs, she found that it was blocked by a huge rock.
It takes time to break the boulder. At least when Xu Chunniang was being chased by four puppets in the early stages of foundation building, she had no time to break it.
The foundation-building puppet held a huge sword in its hand, which was extremely powerful. If she was hit by the sword in its hand, she didn't know how many bones would be broken. She couldn't stop.
Xu Chunniang had no choice but to circle around in the stone chamber with the four puppets while racking her brains for a solution.
The puppet has only one weakness, which is where its central mechanism is located.
If the puppet's central mechanism is destroyed, no matter how high its cultivation level is, it will not be able to perform any function.
However, only the puppeteer who made the puppet knows the location of the puppet's central mechanism, and it is difficult for others to find its exact location.
Xu Chunniang recalled the locations of the central organs of other puppets she encountered along the way. Most of them were between the waist and abdomen, and some were in the legs.
The four foundation-building puppets in front of her and the Qi-training puppets she had encountered before were most likely created by the same person.
Then, could the central organs of these four puppets also be between their waists and abdomens or in their legs
You will know if it is true after trying it!
She took out a white spear, used all her strength to perform the Lingxu Step, turned around and stabbed at the nearest puppet.
The puppet seemed not to notice the white spear that was about to fall on him, and calmly swung the giant sword towards Xu Chunniang.
In their world, they must follow orders and kill invaders, even if it means being torn to pieces.
Xu Chunniang's expression changed slightly, and she slid to the left to avoid the attack, and the tip of the gun brushed past the puppet's waist.
Puppets are inanimate objects and can withstand all attacks, but she didn't dare to take this one.
After this delay, the three puppets that were a little further away caught up and kept swinging their swords to chop.
In desperation, she had to temporarily avoid the attack, dodging while looking for another opportunity to strike.
Finally, after making two big circles and putting enough distance between herself and these puppets, Xu Chunniang found an opportunity.
She poured her spiritual power into the white spear and threw it hard at one of the puppets.
The white spear flew out of his hand and pierced the puppet's left waist like an arrow, penetrated it fiercely and stabbed into its waist.
After being hit by the white spear, it suddenly stopped moving, and its right hand, which was holding the giant sword, dropped down weakly.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. This time she actually succeeded!
She took back the white spear and continued to dodge the attacks of the other three puppets, looking for a new opportunity to attack.
The three puppets were chasing her closely. She risked being hit by a sword light and finally attacked again.
After the white spear flew out of his hand, it pierced into the waist of one of the puppets at an extremely fast speed.
But after being hit, the puppet acted as if nothing had happened. It was obvious that its central mechanism was not between the waist and abdomen.
Xu Chunniang was not discouraged. In fact, she was extremely lucky to be able to hit the first puppet with one strike.
As long as she could maintain this speed and avoid being hit by the giant sword, she would be able to slowly find the core of these puppets and defeat them one by one.
She took back the white spear and calmly dodged the sword light and the giant sword's attacks.
Puppets are just puppets after all. Even if they have powerful cultivation, they can hardly exert strength comparable to that of cultivators.
