Chapter 160 Above the First Rank (8000)

It was also very simple to stay here. Of course, we had to kill Wen Si.

Although Wen Si had committed suicide decisively in the tomb before, what Wen Si committed suicide with was only a corpse. No one knew where the real body was hiding.

Since the corpse in the tomb was so important to Wen Si, Xu Bai would certainly not miss this opportunity. He would wait for the rabbit. If he could, that would be a good thing. If he couldn't, it didn't matter. He could recover his strength at the same time.

The corpse left by the weird blood-haired man had become tattered. The clothes on his body were tattered enough. When they fought, they didn't hold back. There was nothing left. There was basically no place worth touching.

Xu Bai was about to step forward to drag the corpse away. Unexpectedly, he turned into ashes as soon as he touched the weird blood-haired corpse.

This made him worry-free. With the help of Ye Zi, they found a secret place and waited silently.

Time passed slowly, and the white light in the sky became more and more, and it was about to turn to dawn.

Xu Bai thought that Wen Si would not come again, and was about to go back to the inn with Ye Zi, but he did not expect that there was a sudden noise in the woods, and a male corpse in tattered clothes suddenly emerged from the woods and walked to the entrance of the tomb.

The male corpse was connected by translucent silk threads. If you don't look carefully, you might think it was a normal person.

When Xu Bai saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, with an interested smile on his face.

Sure enough, this guy came after all, proving that there was something he had to take.

The blood-haired weird corpse was impossible. After all, when Wen Si left, he already knew that the blood-haired weird came out of it, so it was impossible to seek the blood-haired weird again.

In this way, it is very likely that there is something new, which is worth Wen Si to take the risk.

Ye Zi gently pulled Xu Bai's sleeve, with a puzzled little expression, very vivid, meaning that they need to do it now.

Xu Bai shook his head, indicating that he should not move for the time being. Since the other party came prepared, he must be looking for a new existence. For Xu Bai, it was actually a good thing.

But not taking action does not mean that he will not follow. Xu Bai planned to take a closer look, so he waved his hand and followed quietly with Ye Zi.

Wen Si planned to go in through the hole again, but this guy was very cunning. When he went in, he popped his head out after a while and tried to look around to make sure if he was seeing it wrong.

This backhand was indeed played well. After all, who would have thought that Wen Si, who had just gone in, would suddenly pop up his head.

If he was a little reckless and had started chasing when Wen Si went in, he would definitely be discovered at this moment.

Wen Si looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, he went back to the bottom of the passage. Xu Bai waited until everything was ready, and then waved his hand and said.

"Follow behind, I want to see what medicine she sells in the gourd."

The two followed behind and walked quietly behind.

The cave was still dark, but there was only one way through this passage, and no other way. Xu Bai was not afraid of losing him, so he followed carefully.

After walking for a while, there was still a second intersection, which was the bronze coffin placed in the corner. There was still no trace of Wen Si here. Xu Wen and Ye Zi continued to walk down from the intersection of the second bronze coffin, and went straight all the way to the last entrance.

Xu Bai stopped and looked at the huge space in front of him. The huge bronze coffin had no lid and was now being held by Ye Zi.

Wen Si was not far away, carefully clinging to the edge of the huge coffin and looking inside. After not seeing the strange blood and hair, he was obviously relieved.

"He must have run away. Xu Bai is probably beaten to death. Fortunately, I didn't come here in my original form."

The voice of talking to herself echoed in her mouth in the empty tomb.

Seeing this scene, Xu Bai thought to himself: "This guy is really sure that I am dead, so he dared to sneak over here."

It makes sense. After all, it is a half-step metamorphosis weirdness. How can an ordinary third-grade person beat it?

According to inertial thinking, Wen Si's approach is fine.

But Xu Bai is not an ordinary person.

He did not take action, but continued to observe, because he always felt that Wen Si would take the next step.

Sure enough, after confirming that there was no blood-haired weirdness, Wen Si made a new move. He walked to each coffin and opened the lids of those coffins.

Not only did he open each coffin, but he also dragged out all the mummies in the coffins. These mummies were dressed in strange clothes. Although they were tattered, they could still see some of their original appearance. It was obvious that these were all people from the Akagi tribe.

After doing all this, Wen Si raised her hands, and gray-white silk threads appeared on her fingertips on her palms. Then she waved the gray-white silk threads on her fingertips. Each silk thread seemed to have spirituality and drilled into the mummies.

When Xu Bai saw what Wen Si did, he thought that Wen Si wanted to control these corpses, but he didn't expect that after the corpses touched the silk thread, they quickly turned into ashes. Wen Si retracted the silk thread and closed his eyes to think.

"It's been too long, and these corpses have too little instinctive memory left. Fortunately, there are enough for me to find clues about them." Wen Si suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself.

Instinct memory, clues?

Xu Bai touched his chin and continued to watch patiently.

Wen Si stood up from where he was, slowly walked to the side of the huge coffin, put his hands on the edge of the coffin, and pushed it hard.

There was a friction sound from the ground, which made people's teeth ache. Soon, the coffin was pushed aside by Wen Si. Under the coffin was a complicated pattern.

This pattern was circular and not large in area. It was just blocked by the bronze coffin. If the bronze coffin was not moved away, no trace could be seen.

Wen Si walked to the middle of the circular pattern, slowly squatted down, and pressed his right hand on the circular pattern. The gray-white silk thread intertwined between his palms and inserted into the ground.

When the gray-white line of sight was inserted into the ground, the circular pattern suddenly bulged and turned into a disc floating on the ground.

Wen Si began to twist her wrist, and there was a clicking sound. The disc with the circular pattern actually began to rotate.

The arc of rotation was very clever, left and right, and stopped for a while from time to time, and then continued to rotate. It felt to Xu Bai like a safe password.

"It seems that some instinctive memory told her." Xu Bai said secretly.

After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, Wen Si finally stopped the action of her hand, slowly raised her right hand, and the gray-white silk thread was taken into her body.

In front of her, the disc suddenly cracked from the middle, and then the ground began to tremble slightly.

A crack appeared from the distant edge, and it continued to spread, showing a very fast state, dividing the tomb into two.

The whole process happened very quickly. After the ground of the tomb was divided into two, a brand new passage appeared in front of Xu Bai.

"It's really a different world." Xu Bai's eyes were filled with excitement.

Wen Si didn't know that she was being monitored at this moment. When this passage appeared, she couldn't help jumping up and seemed very happy.

It took a long time for Wen Si to calm down and calm down. Then, without stopping, he walked down the passage.

Xu Bai had been hiding in the dark until several minutes later, when he and Ye Zi walked to the front of the passage.

The two did not communicate much, and soon they walked directly down the passage.

…

The passage was very dark, but fortunately Xu Bai's strength allowed him to walk steadily, so he did not need a torch to illuminate.

After walking for a while, the front suddenly became clear. Xu Bai got to a hidden position and heard bursts of sound coming from the space.

"The ancestors of the Wen family, I finally found the leader of the Chimu tribe. As long as I control it, I can truly make the Wen family rise again. At that time, my status in the Great Yue Kingdom will surely rise."

"Humph! Although the Wen family was unjust that day and secretly transported all the bodies of the Chimu tribe here for burial, the emperor was too ruthless."

"Hundreds of lives were lost in a letter from the emperor. Even the underage child could not escape your clutches."

"Emperor Chu, one day, you will repeat the same mistakes!"

There was a sense of anger and resentment in the words.

Xu Bai thought to himself, as expected.

How could the resentment of exterminating a family be easily wiped out?

What's more, he just heard that the construction of this tomb seemed to be related to the Wen family.

Thinking carefully, the Wen family is indeed suitable for doing this kind of thing. If a large number of bodies are moved, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others, but if these bodies are made like humans, it will be much safer.

The Wen family specializes in this business, and they are very good at it.

It is for this reason that the emperor exterminated the family.

And now it seems that Wen Si has defected to the Great Viet Kingdom.

No, to be precise, he should be a slave of three surnames.

First he defected to the Great Chu Kingdom, then to the barbarians, and after being discovered by the Great Chu Kingdom, he now defected to the Great Viet Kingdom.

This is really awesome.

In the past, Xu Bai read those novels or biographies, and he thought that such a situation was rare, but now he really saw one.

Ye Zi gently pulled Xu Bai's sleeve, opened his mouth, and made a lip shape, meaning to take action?

Xu Bai held Ye Zi and quietly poked his head out of the exit, just in time to see the scene inside.

Inside, there was still a coffin, but this coffin was not made of bronze, but a kind of stone.

The stone was carved with complicated patterns, and it looked full of a sense of desolation.

Unfortunately, Xu Bai did not see the golden progress bar.

At this time, Wen Si had already opened the coffin lid and lifted the body out.

The body was wearing luxurious clothes. Although it was tattered, it looked much better than the blood-haired weirdo outside, and even more high-end.

Xu Bai guessed that if this was the real leader of the Chimu tribe, the blood-haired weirdo outside should be the leader's confidant.

However, judging from the current situation, the corpse did not show any signs of becoming a weird, otherwise Wen Si would not dare to do such a thing.

After the corpse was lifted out, it was laid flat on the ground by Wen Si.

Wen Si's heart was burning.

Finally, it finally succeeded!

Only she understood how sad she was.

It was not to say that everything would be fine if she joined the Great Viet Kingdom. In fact, when she joined the Great Viet Kingdom, her own strength was not favored by the Great Viet Kingdom.

The other party took her in just because she wanted to deal with the Great Chu Kingdom, so she was not valued in the Great Viet Kingdom.

"It's almost done, it's time to call the real body over." Wen Si thought excitedly.

In fact, all the corpses she could use had been used on the white fog before, and now only this corpse was used as the last resort.

And to take away the corpse of the leader of the Akagi tribe in front of her, she had to come with her real body.

Fortunately, Xu Bai was killed by the weird, and the weird was probably going to a place where there were people. After all, the weird was born to kill.

Now, everything belongs to her.

Wen Si thought so and had communicated with the main body.

Xu Bai had been hiding. Seeing that Wen Si did not move, he seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to make a gesture to Ye Zi.

——Pay attention to the back.

Obviously, if Xu Bai were Wen Si, he would be eager to take action immediately, but why didn't he take action?

Xu Bai thought that it was very likely that the corpse controlled by this guy could not collect corpses, and he did not collect corpses just now, but just made some memories.

If this is the case, it will be fun.

Xu Bai knew that he had to be patient and must catch the real Wen Si behind the scenes, otherwise it would be a big deal if he was always remembered by others.

Thinking of this, he tried to control his breathing, not to make his breathing too obvious, and waited patiently.

About half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps in the passage, running very fast.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and turned his sight to the passage, where a slender figure appeared.

After a while, the figure gradually became clear. It was a charming woman.

She was dressed very ordinary, but because of her appearance, she looked very radiant. At this moment, the woman was running with excitement.

But the next moment he stopped, and the excitement on his face turned into fear.

"You are not dead!" Wen Si said fearfully.

In front of her sight, Xu Bai supported the wall with his hands and looked at her with interest. His eyes seemed to say that he finally caught you.

Ye Zi chuckled: "I didn't expect it was a woman, sir, why don't you take her in as a maid."

Xu Bai responded: "She is not as pretty as you. What are you going to do with her? Sweep the toilet?"

The words of the two seemed to be playing around, but in Wen Si's ears, they were as cold as ice.

Wen Si turned her head quickly and wanted to run away immediately, but the next moment, the ground under her feet suddenly moved away from her legs, and something was entangled on her body. There was a pain, and blood flowed from her hands.

The fragments of the black knife entangled Wen Si and soon dragged him in front of Xu Bai.

By this time, Xu Bai's injuries had long been healed, and his true energy had almost recovered.

Although Xu Bai had controlled the force, the fragments were too sharp, leaving horrible wounds on Wen Si.

Wen Si's clothes were torn, revealing her fair skin, but at this moment, her fair skin was dripping with blood.

Unless you are a guy with a heavy taste, you will only feel creepy when you see this scene.

Wen Si bit her lips tightly, and her lips were bitten white by her. Her eyes stared at Xu Bai, as if with boundless anger.

"A third-grade master escaped the pursuit of a half-step metamorphosis and dared to come back again. I lost. I really didn't expect it!"

She really didn't expect it. No one else might have thought of it. After all, how could a third-grade master survive in the hands of a half-step metamorphosis? This has never happened before.

She had never seen it before, and had never even heard of it, so Wen Si dared to conclude that Xu Bai was dead.

"Huh? Escape?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "I killed it."

Wen Si was stunned, like a wooden sculpture that had been cast into a fixed spell.

"Kill... Kill?"

She suspected that she had heard it wrong, or that the other party had said it wrong.

How could a third-grade person kill a half-step metamorphosis?

Do you think it's as simple as drinking water and eating?

Xu Bai didn't explain, and there was no need to explain, because he felt that explaining to a dead person was a complete waste of saliva.

At this time, Ye Zi suddenly flicked his fingertips with white light, and melodious music came out.

Wen Si was unharmed, and even his eyes did not change.

"Young Master, there is something protecting his soul, and I can't control it."

Up to now, Ye Zi has reached the third-grade realm and can use this move casually without too many constraints.

But what he didn't expect was that it lost its effect on Wen Si.

"It's useless." Wen Si finally came back to his senses from the shock, and understood what the other party wanted to do. He taunted: "Who do you think I am? Undertaker, what does an undertaker do? It's to play with the soul of the corpse. Our soul has long been indestructible in this process."

"You! Don't even think about hearing a word!"

While taunting, he also laughed heartily.

Being caught is one thing, being caught with the intention of dying is another. At this moment, Wen Si already knew that he was going to die.

Isn't it better to taunt the opponent before death than to remain silent?

Xu Bai frowned, raised his hand and flicked the fragments lightly, making a rhythmic sound.

But at the same time, Wen Si's soul was very strong and difficult to conquer.

"Don't try, just give me a quick death!" Wen Si closed his eyes.

"Alas, I didn't expect that in the end, I would have to use such a barbaric method." Xu Bai sighed.

Wen Si suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Let me think about it. It's been a long time since I used torture to extract a confession. My hands are a little rusty now." Xu Bai moved his wrist and sighed.

Since I had Ye Zi and I also got the rhythm, I rarely used torture to extract a confession. So now I suddenly have to use it, and I feel a little emotional and nostalgic.

This expression of emotion and nostalgia fell into Wen Si's eyes, but it was like seeing a devil.

"By the way, you didn't cut off the pain, did you?" Xu Bai pinched Wen Si's white index finger and suddenly exerted force.

The next moment, the sound of bones breaking came, and Wen Si screamed shrilly.

Watching a beautiful woman screaming, sometimes, it feels like a visual enjoyment.

——It's better than a man screaming.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Xu Bai comforted softly: "I can use poison and treat people. I have a way to make you recover quickly."

As he said, Xu Bai continued, pinching Wen Si's little finger and exerting a little force.

"Crack!"

"Ah——" Wen Si screamed again, his face pale.

Cold sweat broke out on his white forehead, his snow-white teeth clenched tightly together, trembling from time to time.

"You... are more cruel than Weird!" Wen Si cursed, the sound seemed to come out from between his teeth.

"Otherwise, the world calls me the Bloody Swordsman." Xu Bai put his finger on Wen Si's other finger and squeezed it hard.

The sound of bones breaking came again, Wen Si rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

"I didn't let you faint." Xu Bai raised his hand and slapped him twice.

The next moment, Wen Si, who had fallen into a coma, felt a sharp pain in his cheek and woke up from the coma again.

"Very good, I'll explain it to you, starting from your hands, all the way to your shoulders, your bones will be shattered inch by inch."

"Then start from your feet, all the way to your thigh bones, they will also be shattered."

"Finally, don't worry about disability, I will cure you with medicine, it will be cured very quickly, and then we will repeat the previous process again."

Xu Bai spoke slowly, his voice was very gentle, as if he was saying love words in the ears of a girl.

But in Wen Si's ears, it was like a life-threatening magic sound, every word made her tremble, and while trembling, she felt that the fingers that were crushed before were coming with more severe pain.

This is a terrifying demon, who can use methods that make people want to die while talking and laughing, as if it were commonplace.

Wen Si understood that at this moment, death was a light way for her.

"I said..."

Thousands of words finally converged into two words, and Master Wen compromised.

She had to compromise. She knew she couldn't survive, but she didn't want to die in such pain. She wanted to die quickly. Anyway, she was going to die, so it didn't matter if she said something. That was why she changed her mind.

"I know what you want to ask, but I don't know the secrets between the Great Viet Kingdom and the barbarians. You know that my strength is really nothing to them."

Wen Si said painfully.

Xu Bai touched his chin and asked, "What did you want to do by building such a tomb here?"

Indeed, with Wen Si's strength, he couldn't get a good position at all.

"Luck!" Wen Si said, "After the establishment of the Great Chu Kingdom, it has always lacked luck. Although there is a thin layer, it is almost nothing in the end. Building a tomb here can slowly devour their luck. After all, this is a tomb of the barbarians."

"But I didn't expect that suddenly, the Great Chu Kingdom took the luck of the Great Wind Kingdom for itself because of you. Now this place is useless, but it is used to its full potential.

They knew you were going to the capital, so they wanted to kill you. Unexpectedly, the gravedigger was greedy and wanted to occupy this place."

Xu Bai frowned.

Did the Great Chu Kingdom restore its luck, or was it because of him?

Yes, it seems to be the case. On the way here, there seemed to be a battle related to luck.

What a loss!

Xu Bai suddenly felt that he had lost money on this deal.

After going to the capital, he had to talk about it and see if he could add a little more.

Seeing Xu Bai in deep thought, Wen Si shut up.

"Why don't you say anything? Keep talking." Xu Bai said.

Wen Si said bitterly, "What else do you want to know?"

"What's the matter with the body inside? Is there any secret?" Xu Bai asked.

Wen Si shook his head and said, "No, there is no abnormality or secret. I just want to take it back to improve my strength and let me gain a foothold in the Great Viet Kingdom."

"Gone?" Xu Bai said.

Wen Si nodded and said, "It's really gone."

Xu Bai paced back and forth and thought about Wen Si's words.

This time of interrogation seemed to have some content. After all, he knew the cause and effect of the matter, and also knew a lot of past events, such as the origin of this tomb.

And he did not gain nothing. On the contrary, he had a big gain, which was the progress bar of the coffin lid.

Not bad, a lot of gains.

Xu Bai smiled.

Wen Si shuddered and looked very scared: "Can you... kill me?"

She had never thought that it would be so difficult to ask for death, and she had to beg in this way.

"Wow!"

The fragments of the black knife surged, and the next moment, Wen Si lost her breath.

"Go and have a look." Xu Bai snapped his fingers and walked into the huge tomb.

The tomb was very large, and there was only this coffin here, so it seemed unusually empty.

After entering, Xu Bai looked around and did not see anything about the progress bar. There was only a dried corpse on the ground and the corpse that Wen Si had controlled just now.

"What a pity, there is no progress bar." Xu Bai thought to himself.

Although it feels a bit unsatisfied, who would complain about having too much of this thing? Unfortunately, there was no progress bar as he imagined.

Ye Zi gently pulled Xu Bai's sleeve and asked, "Sir, do you want to keep this?"

Xu Bai turned his eyes and looked at the corpse not far away, saying, "No need to keep it, burn it all."

It's useless to keep it, and this thing can't be seen, so it's safer to burn it.

Next, without waiting for Xu Bai's instructions, Ye Zi took out the fire starter and walked in front of him, and burned the corpse to ashes.

The two searched here for a while, and after not finding anything else, they left the tomb.

Before leaving, Xu Bai blocked the exit with something to prevent people who didn't know the truth from finding it and getting into danger.

Now the sky has completely brightened, the sun has replaced the moon, and bursts of bird calls sounded between the trees, which sounded very leisurely in the ears.

Except for the wounds all over the ground, it looks no different.

Holding the coffin lid and the bundle, Ye Zi followed Xu Bai and gradually moved away from this wilderness.

...

Without stopping along the way, they soon returned to the inn. Of course, they caused quite a stir on the way.

After all, a woman with a veil and a perfect figure, holding a coffin lid and following a man, would certainly attract a lot of attention.

After returning to the inn, Xu Bai washed up with the help of Ye Zi, and then he lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle was really dangerous and thrilling.

Especially the strange blood-haired, half-step metamorphosis strength was really tyrannical. If it weren't for his unimaginable means, he would have really fallen there.

Ye Zi had also finished washing up, lying next to Xu Bai, and leaning his head on Xu Bai's shoulder.

The surroundings became quiet.

Xu Bai squinted his eyes, and suddenly relaxed, making him look a little tired.

"Sir, when will we set off to the next place?" Ye Zi asked, putting his chin on Xu Bai's chest.

Without opening his eyes, Xu Bai replied, "Wait a minute, and then set off again after a while."

He had thought it over. Now there was not much distance left, so he didn't need to rush for the time being. He had to make more progress first.

After all, with today's battle, Xu Bai saw clearly that there were still many dangers in this world.

For the sake of his own life, he couldn't be too anxious.

And Xu Bai also had his own plans. At least he had to finish the progress bar of the bronze door and the progress bar of the heavy sword method.

After finishing these two progress bars, he would have some foundation, and then he would continue to set off. Of course, it would take some time, but it didn't matter, as long as it didn't take too long.

"Yeah." Ye Zi responded softly without saying anything.

The young master's words were the truth. If the young master said he wanted to stay here, she would stay here with him. If the young master said he wanted to leave, she would follow him.

Ye Zi's personality was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but when facing Xu Bai, she always showed her soft side.

"Oh, sir." Ye Zi said, "Your puppet is gone, and you are short of materials. Why not ask the Jiang family to collect some?"

Xu Bai nodded. He did have this plan tomorrow.

Although the fourth-grade puppet is not of high level, it can sometimes produce huge effects. For example, in this battle, the fourth-grade puppet went ahead and relieved him of many things.

Don't waste the free materials. Anyway, the reward is from the emperor, not himself.

I've made up my mind and will do it tomorrow!

After Xu Bai made up his mind, he had decided.

Ye Zi stood up and prepared to blow out the oil lamp and go to bed early.

Xu Bai suddenly remembered something and suddenly turned over from the bed, which scared Ye Zi.

"Ye Zi, do you know what the difference is after the first grade?"

He originally planned to come back to ask about this matter. He originally thought that the ninth grade to the first grade was the limit, but he didn't expect that there was a realm above the first grade.

Ye Zi was slightly stunned, and then reacted.

This young master of his family is powerful, but he doesn't understand many things. He has just entered this circle not long ago and is still a very tender newcomer.

Thinking of this, Ye Zi lightly moved his lotus steps and walked to the bed and sat down.

"Sir, above the first rank, there are four more realms, each of which is divided into nine grades, namely Transcendent, Super-ordinary, Entering Saint, and Leaving Saint."

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "What are the differences between each realm?"

Four realms, each of which is divided into nine grades. It seems that the classification is very wide.

Transcendent is so abnormal, it seems that the later realms are even more terrifying.

Hearing this, Ye Zi took Xu Bai's hand and smiled softly: "Of course there are many differences. For example, the symbol of Transcendent, this realm is the ability to fly in the sky, but in addition to that."

"There is another feature, which is the real difference from the first rank."
