Chapter 254 Danger and Nature

“Wrong!”

His whole body was cold, and the passageway was too long . Aside from the strange corpse he met at the beginning, it seemed that he would not meet any more danger .

It was wishful thinking as he was now in danger of being frozen to death .

There had to be something wrong with him .

“Since eyes and ears can deceive, can touch deceive as well? ”

He could check if he extinguished the copper lamp and use himself as bait to seduce the murderer out of the shadows, but it was too risky . He knew nothing about the enemy and the passage was strange .

Mu Yi didn’t know what the other two passages were like . It was possible that this passage was the safest, but it was also the most dangerous probably .

It was too late to turn back even if he wanted to . He’d looked into King Xian after hearing about the tomb, but the records about King Xian were too few . The only thing he knew for sure was that King Xian loved books .

After the first emperor of Qin burned books and buried the literati in pits, no other ruler took his stance . On the surface, it only recorded that King Xian collected Confucian classics and the classics from various clans, but the facts were not clear . From the layout of the tomb, King Xian was not an ordinary person .

Thus, his purpose for collecting all kinds of strange books and building such an elaborate tomb was easy .

This was a test for succession .

If this was the case, then this passage would have vitality surely because it was impossible for King Xian to make such a passage without life even if it had changed over time .

Mu Yi didn’t care what King Xian’s original plan had been . Mu Yi only needed to get through the passage and get out of the unbearable cold as quickly as possible .

As his mind moved, the flame of the copper lamp became smaller and smaller, and it went out and the passage fell into darkness .

The cold around him increased exponentially and his body grew stiff .

Mu Yi had expected it and continued with his plan .

Mu Yi’s body began to shake, but he stood still experiencing his body’s deception . When Mu Yi’s body was about to lose consciousness, he felt something approaching him . It seemed to stick in front of him, and it seemed to be everywhere .

Mu Yi felt something licking his neck, raising goosebumps all over .

‘Not yet!’ Mu Yi comforted himself like self-hypnosis .

Based on the state of the three corpses and the strange corpse that attacked him, the chill was only an illusion . The passages were linked to somewhere else because the cold had only started rather than seizing him when he first entered .

The murderer was in the dark and using these illusions to trap his prey . Mu Yi had to use it against him . He was very sure that the real murderer was near him, so he concentrated and waited for his chance to strike .

When Mu Yi felt a strange force drilling into his body, his mind and spirit poured into the deepest part of the copper lamp like a rolling river . At the same time, he also hooked into the origin of the copper lamp .

The copper lamp illuminated in his hand and inside him from the source of the copper lamp .

“Li!”

When the fire broke out from Mu Yi’s body, he heard a sharp voice full of pain . He felt the person’s panic in his mind .

Mu Yi could only clench his teeth to keep his mind and spirit steady . If he disconnected from the copper lamp, he would be dead . He wasn’t sure what the real murderer was, but it had to be similar to a ghost and without a body or the mysterious power in the passageway was its body .

If it hadn’t entered Mu Yi’s body, Mu Yi would have never figured it out and had a chance to fight it . His body was burning . It was painful like being in the sea of fire . There were countless small flames burning in his body, fueled by his vitality .

He had used this technique against Qu Yang . He had controlled it to one arm, but the effect was similar . As the owner of the lamp, the flame didn’t harm him, but it drained him of strength .

If possible, Mu Yi would not like to use this method, but he had no other option at the moment . He only hoped that it wouldn’t take too long and he could conserve his strength,

Just as Mu Yi was preparing for a last push, the Bamboo Tree of Life moved suddenly and pure life energy flowed into his body to fuel the fire, sparring his own vitality .

Mu Yi knew it was Nian Nuer helping him, but he had no time to thank her . Instead, he gathered all his mind and spirit to fight the strange thing as quickly as possible so Nian Nuer could conserve her strength .

The Bamboo Tree of Life had absorbed a lot of energy from the Cadaveric mushroom, but it was a drop in a bucket in relation to the energy needed to fuel this fire .

The strange thing inside him thrashed in the fire and rolled towards Mu Yi’s spirit . Mu Yi could only bare it and face it to know how great it was .

It was much larger than he imagined .

Fortunately, although the idea was huge, it wasn’t very complex; otherwise, he would not have been able to persevere .

Despite his persistence, the fire did not diminish the power in the passageway, and his body began to change in the fire . Beyond his sight, the strange power was transformed by the fire and added to Mu Yi’s body . His body became stronger and stronger . In the deepest place, Mūlādhāra and Svādhiṣṭhāna absorbed the power quickly and grew exponentially .

The light of the two chakras grew brighter as they became thicker . Where Mu Yi’s chakras had been floating, they were now growing a solid foundation .

Danger was often accompanied by opportunities . In this passageway, Mu Yi was bearing his creation .

At a distance of no more than ten meters from Mu Yi, Qian Butong was resisting the power of the passageway . Around him, four black dragons circled . Because of them, he could persist for such a long time . However, if Mu Yi hadn’t acted, he wouldn’t have been able to hang on this long .

He was upset that he wasn’t blinded by hatred . He followed Mu Yi into this situation and ran into trouble . Unexpectedly, when he was about to give up, there was a sudden turnaround . As the strange power in the passageway subsided, he also woke up gradually . At the same time, he also found that he could see something vaguely further into the passageway that hadn’t been there . Whatever it was, it was changing the atmosphere rapidly .

In a twinkling of an eye, he could see a few feet away and the thick threat also disappeared . Although he didn’t know why there was such a change, Qian Butong understood that the danger was gone for the time being .
