Chapter 849

The first tower was quickly explored by Gu Ding and the others. There was nothing in the tower except for some decorations.

The Sea Emperor had also specially inspected the furnishings. Other than the fact that they were old, there was nothing special about them.

The group rushed towards the second pagoda.

The second pagoda was also quickly turned upside down, but no one found anything.

After that, they moved on to the third tower, the fourth tower … Gu Ding and the others went through each tower.

In the thirty or so palace pagodas, other than decorations, there was nothing to be gained. In fact, they didn't encounter any obstructions along the way.

"We've searched more than thirty empty houses. I'm starting to suspect that someone might have looted everything here before us." Gu Ding could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"That feeling of being watched still hasn't disappeared. Our every move should be under someone's observation, but we haven't been attacked yet. From a certain perspective, this means that the towers we just entered are not that important. If there are treasures or other important things hidden in one of the pagodas, then the guy who is spying on us will definitely attack us. "Melissa gave her guess.

"There should be another reason why we haven't been attacked," Mi Ke Ke suddenly said, "So far, although we have been divided into three groups, we are all very close to each other, so it is very convenient for us to support each other. If that guy who's spying on us attacks rashly, the chances of him succeeding aren't high. Moreover, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he'll still alert us. "

"Miko's right. We shouldn't let our guard down." Gu Ding nodded in agreement.

The five of them continued to explore the tower below.

Everyone stopped in front of the thirty-sixth hall.

"This building is quite different from the ones we've explored before. Everyone, be careful." Gu Ding raised his guard again.

The buildings they had explored before were all tower-like structures, each with several floors. As for this one, it was a palace. The area it occupied was much larger than the previous pagoda, and it only had one floor.

"Creak …"

Just as Gu Ding and the others were about to push the door open, the door opened automatically. Gu Ding and the others were stunned when they saw this.

"That guy who's been spying on us finally couldn't hold it in any longer …" Gu Ding was not surprised but happy instead.

"Interesting. It seems that he knows that doing it in the dark won't do, so he's going to do it in the open." Neptune could not help but laugh.

"Let's go. Let's see what he's up to," Gu Ding said and was the first to step into it.

Neptune and the others immediately followed.

"Bang!"

After Melissa, who was at the back of the group, entered, the door automatically closed.

In the pitch-black main hall, countless torches suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire main hall.

Only then did Gu Ding and the others see a huge coffin in the middle of the hall.

Based on the size of the coffin, no matter what was buried inside, it should be more than three meters long.

"Acting all mysterious!" Gu Ding shouted coldly, "Come out, we've arrived at the core of your burial ground!"

Gu Ding's voice echoed throughout the hall, but there was no response.

"Since you don't want to come out, then I won't be polite."

After waiting for a long time without any response, Gu Ding's Extreme King Finger quickly condensed in the void and pressed down on the black coffin.

Just as the huge finger was about to hit the coffin, the surface of the black coffin suddenly rippled with a black glow, forming a protective layer that enveloped the entire coffin.

"Boom!"

The Extreme King Finger hit the black protective layer with a loud bang.

Then, to Gu Ding's surprise, the Extreme King Finger began to slowly disintegrate, and the black protective layer only weakened slightly.

"This coffin is a little strange. It can actually wash away my Extreme King Finger with all my might." The defensive capabilities of the protective layer on the surface of the coffin surprised Gu Ding.

"Let's do it together," Biggie suggested from the side.

"It's alright, I'll do it. I also want to see how strong the defensive capabilities of this coffin is," Gu Ding said as the second Extreme King Finger quickly condensed in the void.

"Boom!"

The second hit landed, and the Extreme King Finger quickly collapsed again, and the black protective layer on the surface of the coffin weakened slightly.

"I'd like to see how many times this thing can withstand my attacks!" Gu Ding's competitive spirit rose as his two attacks did not break the protective layer.

The third Extreme King Finger also condensed in the void …

"Boom!

Boom! "

After two consecutive hits from the Extreme King Finger, the protective layer on the surface of the coffin was only left with a thin layer.

"I've never used the fifth Extreme King Finger before." Gu Ding grinned. The power of each Extreme King Finger attack was stronger than the last. The previous four attacks had basically depleted the protective layer. He should only need one last strike to destroy the entire protective layer.

"Extreme King Finger, fifth Extreme!"

Gu Ding shouted. In the void, a huge hurricane quickly condensed and began to slowly form the shape of a finger.

At that moment, a withered palm suddenly appeared in front of Gu Ding's chest, reaching for his heart.

Gu Ding looked at the sudden appearance of the hand in shock. However, he was in the middle of performing the move and could not stop it in time.

Biggie naturally saw this unusual scene as well. He only saw a hand, not a person. However, he did not have time to think too much at that moment. He unsheathed his long sword and swung it at the hand.

Just as the hand was about to touch Gu Ding, Biggie's sword slashed across the palm.

Then, the palm shattered like a mirror, and the dissipated fragments turned into black mist and disappeared.

Gu Ding's move was also interrupted. The Extreme King Finger that was about to condense slowly dissipated in the void.

"Just a little bit more …" Gu Ding looked at the coffin with a hint of reluctance.

"That hand … Was it an illusion?" Biggie looked at Gu Ding and the others with uncertainty because he could feel that his sword did not actually hit anything solid. Instead, it went straight through.

"It wasn't an illusion. When the hand appeared just now, my body did feel a strong sense of danger," Gu Ding shook his head. "I'm sure that if I was hit just now, I would have been seriously injured even if I didn't die."

"But my sword did not hit anything solid. It went straight through." Biggie also expressed his feeling.

"If I'm not wrong, it should have been an instant transition between a solid and an illusion," Melissa suddenly said.

"My observation is the same as Melissa's." The Ocean Emperor nodded, "I think, we might have encountered a nightmare …."
