Chapter 370: The Beauty and the Old Fellow
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After guiding them a few tis, and seeing that Master Aaron and the Gno Elder had grasped the basics of Wizardry, and understood the casting of Imprisonnt Restriction one after another, Yang Ling went back to the Amazon Forest, to explore the so-called Underground Tomb.
According to the mory of the Scorpion King Imt, the Underground Tomb was very far below the surface. Apart from a Stone Forest Teleportation Spell Formation, there were no other entrances. If one did not know the correct incantation, he would not be able to enter the tomb no matter how powerful he or she was.
Riding on the Dark Dragon King who flew very fast, he got to the Stone Forest Teleportation Spell Formation deep within the Amazon Forest in a few hours.
At a glance, the entrance to the Underground Tomb looked similar to the Stone Forest Wizard Formation that caused the valley to shake. Eighty-one stone steles were evenly spaced. Obscure words were carved on it, making up a mysterious Teleportation Spell Formation. The air was thick with hidden energy pulses, like Magic. But after taking it in detail, the energy also seed a bit like Wizard Power.
The Stone Forest Spell Formation was guarded by a bunch of mutated Pythons on the outside. The Pythonshad alternating black and white stripes. There were so curled around the bottom of the stones, so were curled on the open space, sunning themselves, and so were entangled together, slowly writhing in a mass together...
“My Lord, these are the venomous Spirit Snakes that are unique to the Underground Tomb. If you get bitten by them, you might beco an Undead and beco a slave to the Underground Tomb. You must be careful!”
While talking, Imt instructed a big group of Scorpions to sneak over, and quietly approach the Spirit Snakes guarding the Stone Forest Spell Formation. As the Scorpions had the scent of the Underground Tomb on their bodies, the terrifying Spirit Snakes were unaware of the approaching danger, in that mont, and ignored the Scorpions which were crawling over.
After learning the Puppet Wizard Mantra, Imt’s Soul Energy had hugely increased. Every Scorpion was like a copy of him. Over the past few days, he had made a Scorpion nest in the forest of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. The nest could hatch Scorpions endlessly, and his power increased by leaps and bounds. Even if the Scorpions outside were to be totally destroyed, he would at most lose a bit of soul. He would then soon be able to create another army of Scorpions in a few days’ ti!
In this way, from a certain perspective, Imt had already attained an immortal body. Or to put it in another way, he had beco a cockroach that would not die. As long as Yang Ling stayed alive and the Wizard Pagoda’s Space was intact, he would never have anything to worry about!
“The Spirit Snake might be extrely venomous, with scary attack power, but it was not a bad prey. The taste of its soul is much better than a Tarantula’s or a Violent Earth Bear’s!” After commanding the Scorpions to surround the Spirit snakes, Imt smiled and transford into a horde of Scorpions charging towards the Spirit Snakes like a wave, leading a ferocious sudden attack.
In an instant, the Scorpions were seen pouncing on the Spirit Snakes inches away, one by one. So imdiately bit the snakes where it hurt most, so bit the Spirit Snakes on their bodies and word in from the bite wounds, and so even jumped into the Spirit Snake’s mouth and into its belly, while it was flicking its tongue, and started to tear at and bite the internal organs!
Hiss...
Caught unawares, the unprepared Spirit Snakes were all hit, hissing in agony. A small number of more powerful Spirit Snakes might have reacted, but before they could spit the venom, they were overrun by many Scorpions, leaving behind a pool of fresh blood in an instant. The Scorpions even swallowed the bones.
Right before the Spirit Snake’s death, the area around the brain released clouds of dark gas, which were absorbed by the Scorpions. A thick stench of blood lingered in the air, the oppressive aura of death not dissipating.
After absorbing the Spirit Snakes’ Soul Energy, an orb of faint dark gas surrounded each Scorpion, mysterious symbols vaguely appearing. After touching the dark gas, the struggling Spirit Snakes imdiately hissed in agony, as if being attacked by an invisible force, giving the wave of Scorpions an opportunity to attack.
Tsk tsk, this was the Soul Harvesting Technique?
Looking at the widespread Scorpions and the way they gobbled up the prey’s soul, Yang Ling nodded appreciatively. As a Wizard who practiced Soul Wizardry, he understood how powerful and precise such attacks were.
Precise Soul Harvesting Technique, mysterious Puppet Wizard Mantra...
Looking at Imt’s unique and precise way of attacking, Yang Ling had high hopes for his future. The Scorpion King Imt would beco his sharpest butchering knife!
Under Imt’s powerful sudden attack, the battle was over quickly.
“My Lord, there was only a group of Spirit Snakes guarding the tomb, but there are many traps within the tomb and uncountable powerful guards! I’m afraid if only the few of us go in...” After forming the human form again, Imt told Yang Ling all he knew in detail, afraid that Yang Ling would force his way in.
Even though he triumphed over the Spirit Snakes guarding the Stone Forest Teleportation Spell Formation and had absorbed a large amount of Soul Energy, but faced with the Underground Tomb that had trapped him for over ten thousand years, he dared not be careless. No one knew the tricks of the Pharaohs of past dynasties better than him. And no one know how scary the Underground Tomb was better than he did.
“Hehe, why should we go in?” Looking at the serious Imt, who had on a human face mask and was wearing a long robe, Yang Lingn smiled. “Since there is only one exit from the Underground Tomb from here, as long as we block the exit, Jaboli naturally would not be in danger anymore. I would like to see how many guards they could send to their deaths!
Going into battle with light equipnt, Yang Ling had never intended to go into the Underground Tomb. He was only prepared to find out more about the situation on the outside. It was already so difficult to deal with Imt, an ordinary guard from the outer area, not to ntion the guards within the tomb. Even without Imt’s reminder, he was not so stupid as to court death.
But, not going in did not an he did not have a way to deal with the Underground Tomb!
As long as he put an Imprisonnt around the whole Stone Forest Spell Formation, and surrounded it, he naturally would not need to worry about the guards in the Underground Tomb rushing out to create trouble. Jaboli naturally would not be threatened on land again.
With the ambush and a strong line of defense, this might be a blessing in disguise. He would wait to capture the guards that ca from within the tomb alive. After taming them, he would have easily gotten a group of experts like, or maybe even stronger than, Imt. This was much better than going everywhere to look for high level Magical Beasts!
After casting an Imprisonnt Restriction over a wide area, and stacking an Illusory Formation and a Killing Formation on top of it, Yang Ling cast a Teleportation Formation nearby. After that, he summoned ten Withered Tree Warriors and instructed them to transform into big, ordinary trees to monitor the movent around the Underground Tomb. In every tree, he also put a group of fast flying Horned Bee Beasts, in charge of patrolling the area, to cover every precaution.
As was the routine, even though the Underground Tomb would only send out new guards in a few months ti, but it was better to be prepared for a rainy day, to prevent any incidents from happening.
“Imt, I’ll leave you in charge of the Underground Tomb. If there are any changes, look for imdiately!” After telling the Scorpion King how to enter and leave the Restriction, Yang Ling strode off.
Limited by the Restriction, and with the Withered Tree Warriors and Horned Bee Beasts too help, Imt should be able to handle small problems by himself. If he could not handle it, Yang Ling believed that he would be able to bear with it until Yang Ling himself teleported from Jaboli using the Teleportation Formation to help!
Riding on the Dark Dragon and returning to the Lord’s Manor in Jaboli, Yang Ling was about to use the ti to practice cultivation. He did not expect Master Aaron and the Gno Elder to welco him excitedly the mont he ca back.
“My Lord, these are the Pet Cards we created. What do you think of its effects?” While speaking, the Gno Elder handed over five Pet Cards. Full of smiles, Master Aaron did the sa.
“Not bad. Teach this thod to the people you trust around you, and quickly make a batch of Pet Cards!”
After randomly choosing two cards and testing it out, Yang Ling nodded his head in satisfaction. After giving a Master Aaron and the Gno Elder a few instructions, he strode over to the discussion room. He instructed the guard Orlando to get Harribell, Lia and Fatso and gang here, to give them a pleasant surprise!
As they were in a hurry, and the Lord’s Manor in Jaboli was much smaller than Wissen Castle, Harribell and the rest of them reached very quickly.
“Yang Ling, where’s my Peaga Bear? Hurry up and hand it over. You said there is one more in the Beast Taming Ground!” Lia could not wait to look for Yang Ling to ask for a cute Peaga Bear the mont she ca in the door.
“Oh... Lia, are you sure you want the Peaga Bear in the Beast Taming Ground?” Hearing what Lia said, Yang Ling’s smile beca brighter.
“I’m sure! Hurry up! You petty man, just ask if you want to be paid. The damn Fatso doesn’t have anything, but his family has plenty of Crystal Coins!” Seeing Yang Ling hesitate, Lia thought he did not want to give it away and treating Fatso like an endless wallet, offered to use his money to pay Yang Ling.
“Okay, since you want it so badly, then I’ll fulfil your request!”
After smiling, Yang Ling whispered a few words to Orlando who was beside him. The latter was startled and he gave Lia and odd look, before striding away. Not long after, he and another guard ca carrying a cage covered with a black cloth. Sounds of a Peaga Bear snoring ca periodically from inside.
“Hmph, at least you have a conscience!” Looking at the cage covered with a black cloth, Lia brightened. She bounded over and lifted the black cloth covering the cage.
In Monston previously, even though she was too late and did not manage to buy a cute Peaga Bear, but she had played with a cute Peaga Bear a few tis at her good friend Erin’s place. She was more familiar with its snores than anyone else.
“Ah... It’s a monster...”
After lifting the black cloth, Lia was prepared to open the cage and carry the bear out. But seeing the aged, drooling Peaga Bear with only a few yellowed teeth, a bald patches, strand of fur here, and patch of fur there, she yelped in shock.
“Miss Lia, this is the only Peaga Bear left in our Beast Taming Ground. Later, I’ll get soone to send it to your bed. I believe, with such a cute Peaga Bear to accompany you, you’ll have a great night! Good night, beautiful Miss Lia.” Yang Ling held in his smile, and solemnly instructed Orlando to send the old Peaga Bear to the guest room Lia was staying in.
Sleep with this old Peaga Bear?
Looking at the drooling and deaf old Peaga Bear with poor eyesight, Lia almost fainted. It would be a nightmare to hug a Peaga Bear like this to sleep. The prospect alone was more terrifying than being in prison!
