The saying goes, "A cornered dog will jump over the wall..."
To be honest, the sudden surge of energy I felt at that moment was merely a fleeting flash of vitality!
After days of relentless travel and not receiving enough nourishment due to my injuries, my body was nearly at its breaking point. Entering the Canberra Pyramid only heightened my sense of danger, and by now, I was utterly exhausted. The sight of that American Ginseng being subdued gave me a burst of vitality. I rushed forward in a flurry, stepping on the head of the American Ginseng and reaching for the Azure Dark Sword lodged in its shoulder blade.
This American Ginseng was indeed as tough as steel. My Azure Dark Sword was wedged deep within its bones, held tightly in place. I struggled with the hilt, shaking it up and down several times before finally managing to pull out the Azure Dark Sword. However, I had exerted too much force; when I finally yanked it free, I stumbled backward and almost fell to the ground.
Roar!
Perhaps my action had caused more pain to the American Ginseng, as it opened its mouth and let out a furious roar, revealing its menacing fangs.
Seeing its mouth wide open, my eyes lit up with opportunity!
The corpse of this American Ginseng was incredibly resilient, reaching an astonishing level of toughness. Despite being thoroughly suppressed by us, our attacks had inflicted very little damage. If it lay there allowing me to strike, I wouldn’t even know where to begin because its body was like armor—everywhere was tough and impenetrable. Attacking it felt like a wolf trying to bite a porcupine; there was simply no way to get a grip!
But that open mouth gave me a clue!
In an instant, the Dark Malevolent Energy within me surged forth. Gripping the sword hilt tightly, I raised the Azure Dark Sword high and thrust it directly into its mouth.
Creak!
As the blade entered between its fangs, it produced an unpleasant grinding sound that sent chills down my spine. Then came a sharp cracking noise.
With all my strength behind this strike, I managed to knock out the fangs from this mummy's mouth and pierced through its skull, pinning it to the ground.
Come on! This is what you desperately need! I let go of the sword hilt and quickly stepped aside.
I had to admit that this thousand-year-old American Ginseng truly was a potent tonic. The moment it made contact with the sword hilt, I could almost feel a surge of Eerie Energy flowing into her body.
At the very beginning, the American Ginseng still had the strength to resist, especially when the bowl started to absorb its Eerie Energy. The resistance became even fiercer, and several of us struggled to keep it under control. Bald Qiang fired a barrage of bullets at its head. Although we managed to suppress the American Ginseng, as he opened fire, the scorching bullet casings rained down on me. One even drilled right into my collar, causing me to scream in pain. However, since the bowl was absorbing Killing Intent, I could only endure it. The sensation was truly excruciating; unless experienced firsthand, one cannot imagine it. I didn't even need to look to know that blisters formed wherever that casing had slid past!
It wasn't until Bald Qiang finished his barrage that the American Ginseng finally calmed down, or perhaps it was that nearly half of its Eerie Energy had been absorbed by the bowl, causing it to become weak and listless. In the end, I found that I could suppress it all by myself.
I noticed that the bowl's Spiritual Energy was gradually filling up. At least now, this spiritual power could Preserve her from further decline in intelligence due to spiritual energy depletion.
Boom!
Suddenly, without warning, the entire pyramid began to tremble!
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
Ghost Granny shouted behind us, "If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"
Her shout pulled me out of my reverie. Turning around, I saw that Ghost Granny and Zhengyang had also finished their battle. Zhengyang's Daoist Robe was torn in several places, with faint traces of blood visible; it was clear that he had fought hard. He had severed the head of a Mysterious Corpse with one sword strike, holding the long blade upside down in one hand while lifting the head of the Mysterious Corpse in the other. His robe billowed in the cold wind like a fierce warrior.
Ghost Granny had also taken a heavy toll; she was covered in blood. The Stone Giant she fought against was already kneeling, its body tilting dangerously as if it were about to fall!
This scene made my heart race with anxiety. The tomb chamber was collapsing severely because there were cracks everywhere from Zhengyang's battle. If this Stone Giant fell, the entire tomb would likely be destroyed!
"Run!"
Bald Qiang shouted loudly as he hoisted the unconscious Big Mouth Lee over his shoulder and took off running.
I wanted to follow them but soon realized a rather unfortunate problem: my Azure Dark Sword was stuck in the skull of the American Ginseng and wouldn't come out. After using too much force earlier, I felt drained and my hands were weak; I couldn't muster much strength. With no other choice, I showed disrespect to the dead and pulled on the Azure Dark Sword, lifting the American Ginseng slightly before kicking it hard on its forehead. Finally, I managed to retrieve my sword.
In that brief moment of delay, Bald Qiang and the others had already disappeared into the Passageway and continued running deeper inside. Seeing that the Stone Giant was about to fall, I dared not hesitate any longer. I sheathed my Azure Dark Sword and ran. As soon as I reached the middle of the tomb chamber, I understood why Ghost Granny had been so anxious—the collapse was far worse than I had imagined!
Especially in the center; stepping on it felt like bouncing on a spring mattress—the structure was clearly compromised, with only a framework barely holding everything together. It could collapse at any moment!
Walking this path felt like treading on thin ice!
Yet, I had to run faster; the slower I went, the more dangerous it became!
Perhaps it was the threat to my life that made me completely ignore the fatigue and discomfort. I sprinted with all my might, rushing through the tomb chamber and bursting into the entrance of the Passageway in the northwest corner.
At that moment, the Stone Giant finally fell, accompanied by a thunderous crash that collapsed the floor of the tomb chamber. The entire pyramid trembled, and debris flew everywhere.
I swallowed hard at this sight and dove headfirst into the Passageway without looking back.
The Passageway from the Middle Tomb Chamber connected to the entrance of the pyramid. It wasn't very long, only about seven or eight meters, but it was narrow enough for two people to walk side by side. Inside was pitch black; my flashlight had been lost in the earlier chaos. Once I entered the Passageway, I couldn't see anything at all. I stumbled and crawled my way out, finally catching up with Qingyi and the others at the entrance of the pyramid.
By this time, the collapse of the Middle Tomb Chamber had intensified, making it particularly dangerous at the entrance. Large stones could fall from above at any moment. None of us dared to linger there; we had already faced so much danger—what a waste it would be to die from falling rocks! Without exchanging words, we exchanged glances that conveyed our thoughts, and together we rushed into the Passageway leading to the lower tomb chamber.
This Passageway connecting to the lower tomb chamber was considerably longer, nearly twenty meters. As we dashed down, we were immediately enveloped by an overwhelming humidity, and an eerie energy hung heavily in the air, carrying a foul stench.
Following the beam of light from Bald Qiang's flashlight, when I finally saw what lay ahead, I gasped in horror—this place was filled with corpses!!
To be precise, it was a room full of wet corpses!
