Xu Mu Has Professional Skills for Dealing with Corpses

"I don't know."

The old man shook his head. "What I can say is that someone once broke in and came out smoothly."

Hearing this, everyone present lowered their heads in deep thought.

Perhaps this was the reason Chi Ting left; to put it bluntly, the loss outweighed the gain.

Risks and benefits are often proportional. Huge risks correspond to huge benefits, which is why people choose to take risks.

But if someone had broken in before and left smoothly, then they must have taken all the good things.

So why should they risk it to pick up scraps?

"Senior, I want to know who broke in before. Was it someone from our Jiuli tribe?" Li Chenshuang asked.

"I've forgotten most of the past. I remember that a thousand years ago, a Jiuli tribe expert broke in, and later there were other races."

The old man propped up his cheek and closed his eyes in thought. "It seems that very few people have come in in the past hundred years. Even Chi Ting didn't step into the final layer."

"A thousand years?"

Xu Mu stared at the old man in front of him. How long had he been dead?

"Before I came, Patriarch Chi Ting had already told me about this. We, the Jiuli tribe, are never greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Wu Cang took a deep breath and looked at a small door in the back.

Chi Ting's realm was very high, so it was normal for him not to enter. He needed to live.

Having finally reached that realm, he naturally cherished his life more.

But Wu Cang was different. If he could successfully obtain the treasure, perhaps he could also step into the World-Breaking Realm.

"Boy, you don't seem to be with them. How about the two of us team up?"

Wu Cang smiled and looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said calmly, "I don't need to team up with you. I can do it alone."

As he spoke, he walked toward the small door over there.

Ye Chen had always been like this, doing what others dared not do. Without crisis, how could he become stronger?

What's more, right now, apart from stepping inside, which was the only way to survive, the rest were dead ends.

Xu Mu had an expert by his side. If he didn't go in, he would be killed.

Wu Cang laughed loudly. Seeing Ye Chen go in first, he followed closely behind.

He didn't know anything about the subsequent dangers, but since he chose to come, he certainly wouldn't back down.

"What about us? Am I not going in?"

Fu Jinyu looked at Xu Mu and asked.

Xu Mu didn't answer her but walked up the steps to the old man.

He looked at the old man sitting there and smiled. "Senior, you've been dead for a thousand years?"

"Almost. I can't be sure of the exact time either."

The old man nodded gently.

"I know a little about Gu cultivation. I'm very curious, how have the Gu bugs on your body survived for this thousand years?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile. "You couldn't have relied on devouring yourself to last this long, right?"

"You are very smart. Gu bugs always have to eat, and the surrounding formations are all fake and can't fill their stomachs."

The old man smiled at Xu Mu. "Of course, I ate some of the corpses that broke in."

"Senior, can you tell me what risks are inside? I feel something is wrong."

Xu Mu said to the old man.

"Are you kidding? I didn't even tell my fellow Jiuli tribesmen. Why should I tell you, an outsider?"

The old man smiled at Xu Mu.

Just then, the Spirit-Devouring Sacred Gu on Xu Mu's body began to vibrate.

"I really like the thing inside you!"

Swish!

In an instant, a pool of black light erupted from the old man and pounced toward Xu Mu.

Xu Mu immediately deployed the Spirit-Devouring Sacred Gu, and dark golden light blocked the front.

As soon as the black light touched the dark gold, it was completely devoured.

"Spirit-Devouring Sacred Gu?"

The old man's eyes suddenly widened. Blackness instantly enveloped his body, and then he disappeared from the spot.

"Xu Mu!"

Fu Jinyu had already arrived beside Xu Mu. She asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Xu Mu shook his head. Now he was almost certain that there was definitely danger inside.

But Ye Chen had already gone in, so Xu Mu could only follow.

"Xu Mu! You actually have the Spirit-Devouring Sacred Gu cultivated by the ancestor Chi You on your body?"

Li Chenshuang walked over in disbelief. "How is this possible? The Spirit-Devouring Sacred Gu has the highest intelligence among Gu bugs. How could it merge with a descendant of Yanhuang like you?"

"Maybe because I'm handsome."

Xu Mu smiled and shrugged. "Old Chen, Sister Empress, I'm going in anyway. What are your thoughts?"

"Since we're already here, there's no reason to go back,"

Fu Jinyu said, folding her arms.

"Brother Mu, I'll go too."

Chen Xuan chimed in.

"Then let's go together."

After Xu Mu finished speaking, they walked together toward the small door in the back.

Li Chenshuang hesitated for a moment and also followed. Among the four of them, she was clearly the strongest, yet the most cowardly.

...

After walking into the final small door, there was a passage of about ten meters.

Arriving inside, they found that this place was the same as the previous layer.

However, there was no continuous fighting around.

Suddenly, four dark shadows appeared in the distance, and the shadows respectively attacked Xu Mu and the others.

Xu Mu quickly took out his weapon, and a black sword also appeared in the hand of the dark shadow.

Clang!

The blades of both sides clashed.

The surrounding environment followed suit and changed. Xu Mu appeared in a desert.

The others around him disappeared. In this environment, only Xu Mu and this person in black martial arts attire remained.

Through perception, Xu Mu found that this was another person controlled by Gu bugs, similar to the old man outside.

Whoosh!

This person instantly flew into the air and continuously launched slashes at Xu Mu.

Streaks of sword energy crashed down densely.

Xu Mu felt this power. It was another World-Breaking level, and not just the first stage of the World-Breaking Realm.

However, Xu Mu still had professional skills in dealing with this kind of corpse.

He executed the Cloud Step, rushed into the sky, continuously dodged the sword energy, and arrived in front of the person.

Crack!

Xu Mu slashed the person with a Mirror-Breaking Sword strike.

The corpse, which had been releasing power, suddenly wilted and fell from high in the air.

Xu Mu also landed on the ground. He looked at the corpse in front of him. Before he could make a move, the black Gu bugs fell off the corpse and attacked Xu Mu.

"Without a powerful corpse, mere Gu bugs think they can deal with me?"

Xu Mu raised his hand, and the dark golden color of the Spirit-Devouring Sacred Gu devoured these Gu bugs along with the corpse completely.

With the disappearance of this person, a stone door appeared out of thin air in front of him.

After Xu Mu pushed it open, he left the desert and came to a dark cave.

The inside of the cave was very large. Xu Mu followed the path all the way forward. After reaching the end, he saw large chunks of spirit stones.

These spirit stones were pressed into the shape of bricks and neatly stacked here.

In addition to the spirit stones, Xu Mu also saw some skeletons. He searched carefully but did not find space rings on any of the skeletons.

Xu Mu cursed inwardly, only hating that his storage space wasn't large enough.

Before coming this time, he had specially cleared out a lot of space, but there were so many spirit stones that he couldn't take them all.

Just then, Xu Mu's perception discovered that Ye Chen had actually arrived as well.

He looked around before finally lying down in a corner, using an illusion array to disguise himself as a skeleton.

As the male protagonist, perhaps he would find something.

...

After Ye Chen arrived, the first thing that caught his eye was the massive amount of spirit stones.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smirk. These are great items! Even if I can't use them myself, I can sell them to array masters for a high price.

As he spoke, he pulled a small cloth bag from his clothes and poured out a good dozen or so rings.

Seeing this, Xu Mu broke into a smile. Those rings were going to be his.
