"That's right, but if I'm not wrong, these people aren't truly revived. They are the Heroic Spirits of the soldiers who were buried with them back then."
"Then they are malingering?"
"According to what you guys said, it should be more or less the same. They should be sealed in a clay sculpture, so their bodies won't rot."
While he was speaking, the mud on the statues had all crumbled. All the revived soldiers and horses were lifelike, as if they were alive.
Why did I enter this tomb? How could I feel so strange? When I look at those statues, their expressions make me feel so real.
At this moment, the revived soldiers, you finally see, the two of us, the unexpected intruders.
I don't understand what they are talking about. I can tell from their attitude and expressions that we are not welcome.
The tomb chamber, which had been silent for a thousand years, became lively. The war horses were whinniing, the weapons were clanging, and the soldiers were shouting and waving the weapons in their hands to chase away the invaders.
One of them, it seemed, was their commander, shouting at us, listening to Lee and Yue's explanation, which probably meant that it was unforgivable that we had disturbed the rest of the most exalted and honourable members of their dynasty.
After saying that, all the soldiers and horses surrounded the two of us.
"Look, I knew it wasn't that simple. Now, even if the two of us want to leave, we won't be able to."
"Why don't we negotiate with them and say that we did not intend to barge in? I'll put down everything I have and return the way we came?"
Ye Zichen rolled his eyes at Li He Yue and said, "Since you can talk to them normally, even if they can, they might not listen to our explanation. Furthermore, we won't be going back the way we came, right?"
If the peaceful negotiation cannot go through, then we can only fight!
After receiving the goods, he wanted me to carry them with him. Looking at the soldiers that had already surrounded us, I felt a little scared. After all, I didn't know how strong these people were.
However, I still couldn't lose in terms of momentum. I pulled out my sword and pointed at the leader of the soldiers who was sitting on a big horse.
"If you want to let us pass today, then we can discuss everything. If we don't let you leave, then this sword and I will not be easy to deal with!"
Li He Yue immediately gave me a thumbs up: "Miss Su Su, I really underestimated you normally. I never expected that at such a crucial moment, you would actually be so brave!"
Hearing my provocative tone and the sword I pulled out, those people finally couldn't hold it in any longer and charged forward, attacking us together.
The opponents were all Heroic Spirits, and with their masters protecting them, they naturally fought valiantly. In addition, our opponent is wearing armor and has more than ten soldiers with long blades. It would be extremely difficult for the two of us.
Fortunately, the treasured sword I was holding was different from the others. It would definitely be useful when hacking at the opponent's armor. During the battle, I tilted my head to look at Li He Yue. I was also astonished.
He had never seen him make a move before. He didn't think that he would be this strong as well. It was as if he wasn't using his full strength with every move, and he wasn't using his full strength with every technique.
However, fighting in the Battle, he was not at a disadvantage at all. Even though he did not have a weapon in his hand, and he even had the scroll from the chest, he did not feel any difficulty at all.
"Li He Yue, how do you feel about that?" I shouted in his direction.
I discovered that they didn't have any special powers on them. It was as if they were just like the boorish men from back then, blindly charging and leveling attacks.
No matter how I listened to him, I seemed to feel that he didn't have any ghost power. He seemed to be an ordinary person, and what he used were all the martial arts that they had learned back then.
Some soldiers only had some brute force. They hadn't even learned any martial arts.
This was strange, they were clearly zombies already sealed below, why were they still alive? Could it be that they have been resurrected a thousand years ago?
Although there were many questions, there was no time to ponder over it. After all, the enemy was a courageous and warlike soldier and general. Although they did not possess extraordinary strength, they were still extremely difficult to deal with.
Those soldiers were still better off, but the general in the lead, with his martial arts skills very high, sat on the horse and didn't move at all, as if he thought that his subordinates would be able to take care of us. However, after frowning for a while, he felt that the two of us didn't look too good, so he took out his sword from his waist and waved it towards me.
When that general goes down to the battlefield, the situation will change. I clearly feel that half of my Spiritual Energy cannot be used, as if it was suppressed by his powerful yin qi.
He could only hand over a small portion of Spiritual Energy and pour it into the Kong Ming treasure sword, beginning to fight with him.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Li He and Yue Yue felt that they couldn't delay any longer. They quickly dealt with the few soldiers beside them and rushed over to help me.
At this moment, the general waved his weapon on the horse. What time? It was as if a typhoon had blown in the surroundings. He felt a strong current of air flowing around him, causing him to be nearly blown away.
"Be careful Miss Su Su!" Lee and Yue shouted at me to free a hand and hold on to my shoulder, and it was only then that I felt my body, which was about to float up, being gripped tightly by his hand and pinned firmly to the ground.
What Li He Yue had done shocked me. I didn't expect him to have such great strength! From the surface, he seemed to be weighing over a hundred kilograms. He looked like a weak scholar, but in the face of such a strong wind, he unexpectedly grabbed my shoulders steadily. It wasn't me who was sent flying.
After the airflow passed, I realized that most of the burial objects in the tomb had already been swept away. I realized just how strong the airflow had been.
"Miss, do not underestimate this person. Although on the surface, he does not appear to have any ghost power, but it might have been because of this person back then that the Chu Country was able to become the supreme expert of the Nine Prefectures."
It was only then that I had time to take a second look at the general before me. Just now, I had been riding on a big horse, so I didn't have the time to take a look. It was only now that I could clearly see that he was a young general who looked to be in his early twenties. The armor on his body was dazzling, as if it hadn't been thousands of years.
The horse itself looked like a stallion, with a snow-white mane and a handsome face. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was an extraordinary horse.
Could it be that this person was the invincible general? It seems that Li Jun and Yue Yue didn't lie to me. The historical records that he saw were all true.
Such an invincible reunion, creating a new world for the Chu Country. With just the two of us, how could we deal with it?
"Umm, you can understand my words right? My name is Su Su." Thinking about this, I immediately stopped and spoke to the general on horseback.
The general on horseback frowned. I just noticed that this young man in his twenties was unusually handsome with a cinnabar mole between his brows, "I can understand, what do you want to say? You want to leave this place alive after disturbing our rest? "
"We really only borrowed it from you because we were forced. I didn't want to disturb your rest. It's just that this friend of mine really owes us too much." We had originally wanted to borrow this place to get past them and get some wood from the other side. In order to cut off the communication between the human realm and the Demon World, we really didn't have any ill intentions, you must believe me! "
"I don't care if you have good intentions or not, you actually woke us up. This means that you have some intentions towards the things inside this tomb. Isn't it a bit late? "
"One cannot be too kind if they know their wrongs and can correct them!" I'll immediately tell my friend to put down everything he's got. Hmm, can you just let us go over there? "
The general on horseback chuckled. He seemed to think that I was too childish as he gently took off the crown on his head and let his long black hair drift down.
She's really a beautiful man, about the same age as Zhang Zian. Although she looks young, her eyes are a pure lake-green, unlike the brutality and killing intent displayed by the other generals. This person's eyes are actually peaceful.
"We did not know how long we slept in this place, and all for the safety of this tomb. To be honest, I did not want to kill anyone, but now, you have disturbed the king's peace of mind, so you will all have to pay a price."
"Then are you willing to let us go?" Li He Yue's eyes were wide open as she looked at the general in disbelief.
"Of course I won't let you go so easily, how about this, in front of us is a gathering history, you guys go in, if you guys have the ability to unlock the mechanisms inside, if you come out unharmed, I will bring you guys through this tomb to the other end of Xishan. However, if you all are unable to leave, or die under the mechanisms inside, don't blame me for being merciless. "
Li Jun and Yue Hu glanced at each other, both of us having their own plans in mind. If we don't agree to the request of this general in front of us, we will inevitably have to fight a great battle with him. The other party's strength is unknown, so it is hard to say if we can beat him.
However, if I agree to his request, I will have to undergo another test. Although I am proficient in mechanical technique, it is hard to say whether or not I can escape from the mechanisms built a thousand years ago.
I whispered to the man beside me, "Li He Yue, what do you think?"
We might not be the opponent of this young general in front of us. There are a lot of yin qi here, and it has suppressed most of our Spiritual Energy and mana, so we can only use a small part of it.
"I saw his martial arts just now. If the two of us were to join forces, I'm afraid we wouldn't be a match for him."
"You mean agree to his request?"
It seems that this is the only method. If he is the general recorded in the historical records that I have seen just now, he should be unwavering and will not go back on his word. If the two of us really did come out from the secret room, he should be able to lead us through the Xishan.
