Chapter 273 The Guardian of the Burial
Chapter 273 Burial Guardian
Master Jiang held the Bagua Jade Plate in his hand and protected himself with a blue light mask, and slowly walked towards the stone steps.
Cai Wenya looked worried and shouted: "Master Jiang, you have to be careful!"
Master Jiang turned back and smiled calmly at Cai Wenya: "Don't worry, Miss, I have my own sense of discretion."
Everyone stared closely at Master Jiang, for fear of missing any detail, and Chen Mo was no exception.
Soon, Master Jiang had reached the place where the bodyguard had been burned to ashes. He paused, glanced at the pile of humanoid ashes, and then looked up at the stone steps winding up to the sky.
Lifting his feet, Master Jiang stepped onto the stone steps.
At this moment, a red light shot out from the pile of ashes on the ground and struck Master Jiang fiercely.
Bo!
The cyan light shield shook, and the red light was ruthlessly bounced away, falling to the ground, revealing its true form.
It turned out to be a small snake about one foot long, with a fiery red body and tiny scales, spitting out a snake message to Master Jiang.
"You evil beast, it turns out you are causing trouble!"
Master Jiang shouted angrily, waved his hand and shot out a burst of spiritual energy, intending to kill the little snake.
But that little snake was very intelligent and agile in its movements. It suddenly shot towards Chen Mo.
"Ah!" Cai Wenya screamed in fright. The scene where the bodyguard was burned alive was still fresh in her memory, and she was afraid that she would make the same mistake again.
Yuan Qingshan and three Tantric masters immediately secretly circulated their Qi, preparing to punch the little snake.
But Chen Mo was faster than them. His figure flashed out and he emerged from the crowd. A stream of spiritual power wrapped around the little snake and trapped it in the void.
"this……"
Yuan Qingshan and the three Tantric masters looked shocked. They asked themselves that they could easily beat this little snake into powder, but they could not imprison it in the void.
Chen Mo's method once again subverted everyone's perception.
The little snake neighed in the air and spat out a message to Chen Mo, obviously very angry.
Chen Mo had no fear, walked up to the little snake and observed it quietly.
"I can't believe that there are actually red-scaled spirit snakes on the earth!" Chen Mo's voice was a little surprised.
Master Jiang also rushed over, looked at Chen Mo, and asked doubtfully: "May I ask your Excellency, what is a red-scaled spirit snake?"
Chen Mo glanced at him indifferently: "The red-scaled spirit snake is one foot long, with a fiery red body and scales. It burns when it encounters objects. It is restrained by the earth attribute."
"When it meets something, it burns!"
Master Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sudden look on his face: "That's it!"
Cai Wenya walked up, but hid behind Chen Mo, and shouted nervously: "Kill it quickly! Why are you keeping such a dangerous thing!"
Chen Mo ignored her, but looked around, his voice a little strange: "The red-scaled spirit snake also has another characteristic, that is, it likes to live in groups."
"What!"
Cai Wenya exclaimed and looked around nervously.
Master Jiang and the others also looked nervous and stared at the surroundings warily.
There was a buzzing sound, as if something was breaking out of the ground, and suddenly, dense red lights emerged from the surrounding black mountain walls.
They were all red-scaled spirit snakes, countless in number. The longest one was only a foot and the shortest one was only a few inches. They were densely packed like locusts, surrounding everyone.
"Ah! Why are there so many! Master Jiang, what should we do now?"
Cai Wenya was so frightened that she hid behind Master Jiang and kept screaming.
Master Jiang couldn't help but gulped. There were so many red-scaled spirit snakes, completely beyond his imagination. They could even kill him from exhaustion.
"Quickly, get back into the corridor!"
Master Jiang shouted urgently, and another burst of spiritual energy entered the Bagua Jade Plate. The cyan light shield expanded several times, covering Cai Wenya and the bodyguards, and they walked backwards towards the corridor.
Yuan Qingshan and the three Tantric masters also retreated to the corridor with wary faces. Only Chen Mo stood there quietly, looking at the dense red-scaled spirit snakes, with his hands behind his back and a calm expression.
"The red-scaled spirit snake respects its mother snake. As long as you kill the mother snake, they will retreat. You protect yourselves, and I will find the mother snake!"
Chen Mo took out the bronze mirror from the storage ring, turned on the defense of the bronze mirror, and walked slowly towards the stone steps as if covered with a layer of golden armor.
Those red-scaled spirit snakes neighed at Chen Mo and spat out snake messages. They looked very angry and seemed to threaten Chen Mo not to set foot on the stone steps.
"If I meet a female snake, I might still be wary, but how dare you, evil beasts like you, threaten me?"
Chen Mo waved his hand and a burst of spiritual power was released. Countless red-scaled spirit snakes blocking the way were swept away and many of them died.
However, there were too many red-scaled spirit snakes, and immediately a large number of spirit snakes came in to fill the gap that Chen Mo had just wiped out.
Chen Mo snorted coldly, waved out his palm again, and walked forward slowly towards the stone steps.
These red-scaled spirit snakes were very spiritual. Seeing that they could do nothing to Chen Mo, they actually separated into a large number of people and attacked the people who retreated into the corridor.
Master Jiang held up the Bagua jade plate, and the green light shield protected the entire entrance of the corridor. Yuan Qingshan and the three Tantric masters kept attacking, killing the incoming snake.
As if they were desperate for their lives, those red-scaled spirit snakes frantically crashed into the defensive light shield held up by Master Jiang, making muffled sounds like bullets hitting the water.
Cai Wenya was so frightened that she kept screaming from behind and was tightly protected by several bodyguards.
"Little brother, find a way to find the female snake quickly, we won't last long!" Master Jiang shouted to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo nodded and slowly climbed up the stone steps. He let out his spiritual consciousness and sensed the surroundings, but found no trace of the female snake.
But Chen Mo knew that these red-scaled spirit snakes could not appear here for no reason. The reason why there are no traps in Queen Jingjue's tomb is precisely because the red-scaled spirit snakes are more terrifying than any traps. These red-scaled spirit snakes are very likely to appear here.
He is the guardian of the tomb of Queen Jingjue.
As long as the coffin of Queen Jingjue is opened, I believe that the female snake will definitely come out to stop her.
Master Jiang gritted his teeth and looked a little pale. There were too many of these spiritual snakes. Every impact was like a salvo of thousands of arrows. A spiritual snake would hit every point on the mask.
The spiritual energy in Master Jiang's body is rapidly depleting. If Yuan Qingshan and three Tantric masters hadn't shared most of the pressure on him, and if the spiritual snake continued to attack with this suicidal method, he wouldn't have been able to survive for long.
At the critical moment, everyone ignored one thing, that is, the corpses of the red-scaled spirit snakes they killed were moving slowly, like red blood flowing on the black earth.
Eventually it slowly came together.
Chen Mo had already climbed more than half of the stone steps, and was only about a hundred meters away from Queen Jingjue's white jade coffin.
At this time, the spirit snakes that were madly attacking Master Jiang and others suddenly stopped, as if they had been summoned by some strange means, and crawled crazily toward the place where the corpses of the red-scaled spirit snakes gathered on the ground.
"What happened? Did they give up?"
Yuan Qingshan said doubtfully.
"Ah, monster, monster!"
Suddenly, Cai Wenya pointed forward and screamed loudly, her face turned pale.
Everyone suddenly took a breath of cold air. Where the red-scaled spirit snakes gathered, a huge snake head actually appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the snake's body also grew out.
"What's this?"
Everyone looked horrified.
In the blink of an eye, a giant snake about one foot long appeared in front of everyone. The blood-red snake was as long as an arm, and it was hesitating at the crowd.
Chapter completed!
