Chapter 386: Grave Guardian
Chapter 386: Grave Guardian
Li San and the people in the cultural relics department also took up their weapons and started fighting with the tomb-guarding beasts. Although they were not as strong as Chu Tian, they also tried their best to provide support for Chu Tian.
With his superb martial arts and agility, Chu Tian fought a thrilling battle with four tomb-guarding beasts. He waved his sword in his hand, emitting powerful sword energy, which neutralized the attacks of the tomb-guarding beasts one by one.
During the battle, Chu Tian gradually discovered the weaknesses of the tomb-guarding beasts. Although the Flame Lion had strong attack power, it was relatively slow in action; the Frost Wolf had weak defense and was easily attacked; the Thunder Cheetah was fast but lacked endurance; and although the Gale Eagle was agile in the air, it would be difficult to exert its advantage once it was approached.
Chu Tian made a battle plan based on the weaknesses of the tomb-guarding beasts. He first concentrated his strength on attacking the Flame Lion and the Frost Wolf to weaken their fighting power. Then, he used his speed advantage to quickly approach the Thunder Cheetah and give it a fatal blow. Finally, he waited for the Gale Eagle to swoop down, then jumped up and cut it down with his sword.
After a tough battle, the four tomb-guarding beasts were finally defeated by Chu Tian and his companions. Peace returned to the tomb chamber again, and everyone sat on the ground exhausted, their hearts full of admiration for Chu Tian.
Chu Tian looked at the defeated tomb-guarding beast and felt relieved. He knew that this ancient tomb exploration was full of dangers, but they also gained a lot. He believed that as long as they united, they would be able to overcome any difficulties, protect the cultural relics, and uncover the mystery of the ancient tomb.
After defeating the four tomb-guarding beasts, Chu Tian and the others took a short break in the tomb. They checked each other's injuries and were glad that no one was seriously injured in this fierce battle.
Chu Tian stood up and looked around the tomb again. He knew that although the immediate crisis had been resolved, there might still be more unknown dangers hidden in the ancient tomb.
"Everyone be careful, let's continue exploring." Chu Tian reminded.
Everyone nodded, cheered up and continued to move forward. They walked carefully along the passage of the tomb, always paying attention to the movements around them.
Not long after they walked, they came to a more spacious hall. The walls of the hall were inlaid with various gems, emitting a dazzling light. In the center of the hall, there was a huge stone platform, on which was placed a mysterious box.
Chu Tian and others were attracted by the box, and they slowly approached the stone platform. When they approached the box, they suddenly felt a strong force emanating from the box.
"There must be something important in this box." Li San said.
Chu Tian cautiously stretched out his hand and tried to open the box. Just as his hand was about to touch the box, a roar suddenly sounded in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake and countless runes appeared on the surrounding walls. These runes flashed with light, as if activating some mysterious mechanism.
Chu Tian and the others quickly retreated, watching the changes around them warily. Four huge statues slowly rose from the four corners of the hall. These statues were lifelike, representing four different mythical beasts, their eyes flashing with mysterious light, as if they were watching Chu Tian and the others.
"What is this?" someone asked in horror.
Chu Tian frowned. He felt that these four statues exuded a powerful aura, which was more terrifying than the previous tomb-guarding beasts. He knew that they were facing a new challenge.
The four statues suddenly moved, and they slowly walked towards Chu Tian and the others. With every step they took, the ground shook, making people tremble with fear.
Chu Tian held the sword tightly in his hand, ready to face this more difficult battle. He knew that this would be another life-and-death test for them in the ancient tomb.
As the four huge statues approached, Chu Tian felt more and more stressed. He could feel the powerful force contained in these statues, which was incomparable to the monsters and tomb-guarding beasts he had encountered before.
"Everyone spread out and look for the statue's weaknesses." Chu Tian shouted loudly.
The crowd immediately dispersed and carefully observed the statues' movements. The statues' steps were heavy and slow, but each step carried a huge sense of oppression. They exuded a mysterious light that was hard to fathom.
Chu Tian stared at one of the statues, trying to find its flaw. He found that the joints of the statues seemed to be relatively fragile, and perhaps he could start from there. He brandished his sword, rushed towards a statue, and chopped at its joints.
The sword collided with the statue, making a loud noise and sparks flying. Chu Tian's arm was numb from the recoil, but he did not retreat and continued to attack.
Others followed Chu Tian's example and looked for weaknesses in the statues to attack. However, the statues seemed very strong and their attacks did not have much effect.
Just when everyone was in trouble, Chu Tian suddenly remembered the secret book rewarded by the system. He quickly opened the secret book and looked for a way to deal with the statue. The secret book recorded an ancient formation that could restrain powerful enemies.
Chu Tian immediately gathered everyone together and arranged the formation according to the method in the secret book. They each stood in a specific position and gathered their strength together. As the formation was activated, a powerful light emanated from them.
The four statues felt the threat of the formation, and they quickened their pace and rushed towards the crowd. Chu Tian and others held the formation tightly, waiting for the best opportunity.
When the statue approached the formation, Chu Tian gave an order and everyone attacked at the same time. A powerful force surged out of the formation and hit the statue. The statue was shaken back by this force and the light on its body began to dim.
Chu Tian was delighted to see that it worked. They continued to attack, constantly weakening the power of the statues. After a hard fight, the four statues were finally defeated and fell to the ground.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with tired but gratified smiles on their faces. They knew that this victory was hard-won, but it also made them more determined to continue exploring the ancient tomb.
Chu Tian looked at the defeated statue with a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that there were still many unknown dangers waiting for them in the ancient tomb, but he believed that as long as they united, with courage and wisdom, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and uncover the mystery of the ancient tomb.
Chu Tian and his companions had just defeated the huge statue and were about to move forward when they heard a slight rustling sound in the dark corridor. Chu Tian immediately became alert and signaled everyone to be quiet and listen carefully to the source of the noise.
The sound was getting closer and clearer, as if countless small things were moving quickly. Suddenly, a dense group of bats rushed out from the depths of the tunnel. These bats were huge, with red eyes flashing, and they pounced towards Chu Tian and his men with their fangs and claws bared.
