Chapter 1862 - 1863: Vampires Unexpectedly Appear
There are lethal mechanisms in this secret chamber!
In an instant, Ye Xuan and the others all felt their hearts tighten, not daring to rashly take even half a step forward.
Everyone turned to look at Ye Lang.
Ye Lang had already begun scrutinizing the secret chamber, his brows tightly furrowed, rarely showing such a solemn expression. If you put a pair of glasses on him, he’d have the complete air of an archaeology expert.
After a long while.
Ye Lang withdrew his gaze, a relaxed smile appearing on his face. "The mechanisms in this secret chamber aren’t all that dangerous. They’re just some sharp arrows that fire when the trap is triggered, but the number of arrows is limited. After the group of people ahead paved the way for us, the mechanisms are basically already spent."
"So it was a false alarm?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Let’s test it first."
Ye Lang’s eyes flicked around, then he took off his own shoe and tossed it into the chamber.
The shoe drew a graceful arc through the air. It seemed to trigger hidden mechanisms—there were faint sounds from the four walls of the chamber, but no arrows were fired.
This confirmed Ye Lang’s statement.
Thanks to the dozen or so corpses out front paving the way, the mechanisms in the chamber were now practically useless!
"We’re good. False alarm." Ye Lang said with a faint smile.
Ye Xuan nodded, then glanced at Ye Lang with a frown. "Ye Lang, you really need to start paying attention to your personal hygiene."
With that, Ye Xuan lifted his foot and walked into the secret chamber.
Lou Yaoyao, Ye Xiaoying, and Chi Lian all covered their delicate noses, casting Ye Lang a look of extreme disgust, then closely followed behind Ye Xuan.
Only Guy was loyal to the end.
He didn’t mind Ye Lang in the slightest, and even expressed concern. "Ye Lang, foot odor is an illness. You really need to go to the hospital when you have time!"
Ye Lang: "..."
Forget this, I just wanna go home!
...
This spacious secret chamber should be a training room belonging to the owner of this Ancient Tomb. Inside, aside from the ice-cold corpses lying around, there were all sorts of ancient martial training equipment.
And in the deepest part of the chamber, there was a square boulder. On top of the boulder lay six dust-covered Sheepskin Scrolls.
It was obvious that these six scrolls were the most precious treasures in the chamber.
Ye Xuan and the others walked straight up to the boulder.
After a brief look, Ye Xuan casually picked up one scroll, blew away the dust on it, and then opened it.
Immediately, what appeared before Ye Xuan’s eyes were several lines of handwritten Yan Country characters, as well as dozens of action diagrams.
"Dragon Capturing Technique. When practiced by ordinary people, it strengthens the body and promotes health. When practiced by Martial Artists, the Qi gathers into one. When practiced by men, it makes them incomparably fierce and domineering. When practiced by women... hehe!"
Ye Xuan was a bit dumbfounded.
What the hell does that "hehe" mean?
As a fellow seasoned veteran, Ye Xuan instantly thought of certain scenes and couldn’t help but grimace. "So the owner of this Ancient Tomb was an old pervert!"
"’When practiced by Martial Artists, the Qi gathers into one!’"
Beside him, Ye Xiaoying muttered, "The literal meaning is that those who practice martial arts, after training in this Body Technique, can easily become Qi Gong Masters?"
"It sounds a bit exaggerated, but not necessarily impossible," Lou Yaoyao said. "I’ve seen it mentioned in ancient books: several thousand years ago, or even longer, our world wasn’t like this.
Back then there weren’t all these modern technologies that make people lazy. It had a bit of a ’might makes right’ vibe. Everyone practiced martial arts, and the Martial Arts culture was flourishing.
And in that era, this planet was filled with Spiritual Energy everywhere. Because of the environment, in that kind of age, if someone had a profound Body Technique, becoming a Qi Gong Master with ease wouldn’t be rare at all."
"Spiritual Energy?" Ye Xuan was puzzled. The term was a bit unfamiliar to him.
Lou Yaoyao glanced sidelong at Ye Xuan. "Little bro, don’t tell me you don’t even know what Spiritual Energy is? It’s that wisp of Qi that helps you become a Qi Gong Master!"
Ye Xuan was taken aback, and then suddenly understood.
So that ethereal, intangible wisp of Qi was called Spiritual Energy.
He couldn’t help imagining: if what Lou Yaoyao just said was true, then what would this planet have looked like thousands of years ago?
Spiritual Energy everywhere, Qi Gong Masters too many to count?
That scene...
Was practically identical to the dream Ye Xuan had back in Ying Country!
Ye Xuan withdrew his thoughts and lowered his head to look at the action diagrams on the scroll, and then felt deeply shocked.
"What an exquisite Body Technique!"
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows repeatedly. As a Qi Gong Master, how could he not see that the dozens of movements carved on this Sheepskin Scroll were all profoundly subtle, and the whole set was complete?
By comparison, if Ye Xuan hadn’t obtained the second fragment of the Body Cultivation Technique not long ago and had it perfected by Little Yunduo, it might not even compare to this Body Technique in front of him!
What kind of concept was that?
The first fragment of the Body Cultivation Technique alone had allowed Ye Xuan to sweep the battlefield, invincible wherever he went, and this Dragon Capturing Technique... calling it a Supreme Divine Skill wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all!!
Ye Xuan immediately believed the claim that this Body Technique could allow Martial Artists to easily become Qi Gong Masters.
"Good stuff." Ye Xuan was overjoyed inside. "Once I get the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus and give my dear wives a baptism to turn them into top-tier experts, I was just worrying that the so-called peerless skills in the Martial Arts world weren’t good enough. Now with a Body Technique like this, nothing is a problem anymore!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan turned his head to look at Lou Yaoyao, a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
"Aiya, little bro, what kind of look is that!" Lou Yaoyao complained in a wounded tone. "I already said it, I’m just here to have fun with you. As for this treasure, I really have no interest. Everything belongs to you!"
Ye Xuan: "..."
If Lou Yaoyao weren’t Lou Xinyu’s little sister, Ye Xuan would really suspect that this girl had fallen for him at first sight.
She was ridiculously considerate!
"Thanks."
Since Lou Yaoyao offered it up so generously, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t be polite. Even though he felt it didn’t quite make sense, he still put the scroll away at once.
He was just about to open the other scrolls and have a look.
But at that moment—
"Kie-kie..."
From outside the chamber came a strange sound.
The sound was like laughter, but unlike human laughter. Hearing it made your scalp tingle for no reason and your whole body shudder.
Ye Xuan and the others all turned toward the entrance of the secret chamber.
After some commotion over there, around a dozen figures appeared in their line of sight.
This group had both men and women. Every one of them had deathly pale skin with not a trace of blood, deep-set eye sockets, scarlet pupils, and four fangs that looked chillingly cold in the lamplight.
Vampires from the Western world!!
After these Vampires entered the chamber and saw Ye Xuan and the others, they were also stunned for a moment, then all became alert, Killing Aura surging forth.
The leading Vampire was a young man. He stared coldly at Ye Xuan and barked, "Brat, put down what’s in your hand right now and I’ll spare your life!!"
