Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 670: Chapter 202: None Are Innocent, Invading the Divine Tomb

He had studied the Divine Tomb and deliberately gathered information about it.

He tried using Puppets, but once they entered, their hearts froze, causing their entire bodies to cease functioning.

Barbarian Soldiers were also ineffective, as this would directly expose the Divine Tomb, an exposure he wished to avoid.

Demon Beasts, however, were proven to be effective as long as they were hardy enough against the cold; take, for example, the giant wolf tamed by the Wolf Mother—innately existing as a guardian being.

Yet... through research and observation, Li Yuan discovered another intriguing fact: Xiaozhao’s Wu Ya coexist with flesh and Yin Qi.

Strictly speaking, the real Xiaozhao was actually her and those tens of thousands of Wu Ya...

As Xiaozhao grew up, the Wu Ya multiplied—a different kind of "growing up," indeed.

Truth be told, he did not trust the Tomb Guardian, nor did he trust the Divine Spirit.

He himself did not abide by rules, so he didn’t believe others would either.

If it were up to him, the Divine Tomb’s lids would be ready to open at any moment, corpses ready to be discarded.

With this in mind, even if Xue Ning and his future family entered the coffin, it would not be guaranteed safe.

Thus thinking, the three of them mounted the giant wolf Li Yuan had previously tamed, following the Wolf Mother towards the Divine Tomb.

Corses of various postures, ice pillars dangling from above in ghostly blue, a labyrinthine entrance beyond measure...

The four of them halted.

The Barbarian King leaped down with the Golden Giant Axe in hand, slicing a fearsome gash into the ground with a casual swipe, then stood aside, eyes fixated on the Wolf Mother.

The Tomb Guardian frowned and said, "Zhenyan Yuan, have your son stop staring at me like that."

Li Yuan respectfully replied, "Yes, Divine Spirit, sir."

Then continued, "Huang’Er, avert your gaze."

The Barbarian King looked away.

Immediately, Li Yuan patted the giant wolf beneath him, then whistled, prompting Xiaozhao’s giant wolf to step forward as well.

Soon, these two giant wolves followed the giant wolf dispatched by the Wolf Mother and ventured inside.

As predicted, everything in the Divine Tomb was normal.

Shortly, they reached the enormous Yin Yang Fish.

Li Yuan suddenly said, "Divine Spirit, I want to try letting a giant wolf enter the coffin."

The Tomb Guardian could hardly believe his ears, turned around with a face of indignation: "How dare you blaspheme like this?"

Li Yuan said, "I just want to see if the coffin can be opened, I’d like to try it myself."

The Tomb Guardian said coldly, "Do you not trust the divine?"

Li Yuan bowed, apologetically saying, "Since the three coffins are promised to me, isn’t it my choice whom to bury? I implore the Divine Spirit to grant me this small wish..."

The Tomb Guardian was silent for a moment, then said, "Very well."

Without further ado, Li Yuan directly controlled a giant wolf to leap onto a specific coffin, gently paw at the lid, then push with force.

The lid wasn’t heavy, and slid open under the push.

The giant wolf leaped inside, lying in the coffin.

Through the transparent, gem-like wall, Li Yuan saw that the giant wolf could indeed lie inside; no matter how big its body was, it automatically adjusted upon entering the coffin, appearing as if the coffin’s size was just right.

The giant wolf lay comfortably within the coffin, an expression of relaxation on its face.

With the lid closing, that expression froze, as if solidified in that instant.

Li Yuan, with another thought, controlled another giant wolf to push the lid.

A light push revealed it wouldn’t budge.

He had the giant wolf charge, yet it still didn’t move.

He continued orchestrating, wanting the giant wolf to launch a full-on drop attack.

The Tomb Guardian’s giant wolf watched silently beside and, seeing this, coldly snapped, "Enough!"

Just then, Li Yuan’s giant wolf was already standing atop the coffin lid. He ceased its movements following the Divine Spirit’s command, but through the giant wolf’s gaze, he vaguely saw emerging "0~1" figures shifting amidst the surrounding darkness.

He got the giant wolf to leap down from the lid, continuing to use its paws to nudge at it, apologetically saying, "I’m sorry, Divine Spirit, I... I’ll try once more."

"Hurry up!" The Tomb Guardian’s expression was unfriendly.

The next push resulted in the same outcome.

However, unlike before, Li Yuan was entirely focused on observing his surroundings.

Thus... he noted a slight difference.

As his giant wolf pushed at the coffin lid, there seemed to be peculiar shadows on the other side pushing back.

Force counteracted force, so... the lid remained unmoved.

Li Yuan squinted.

So, the lid could indeed be opened?

And the Divine Tomb certainly held uncontrollable factors.

Sighing inwardly, at this point, he realized he could no longer trust the Divine Spirit before him.

Peace and compromise couldn’t solve the problem anymore.

Li Yuan’s eyes shifted, suddenly exhaling to reveal a look of relief, saying, "Divine Spirit, I have no more issues."

The Tomb Guardian said, "Then follow me into the tomb, you’ve... a promise to fulfill."

"Certainly, Divine Spirit, it’s my honor," Li Yuan respectfully replied, "Moreover, this concerns the resurrection of me and my family, I will go all out."

From afar, the Barbarian King urgently exclaimed, "Father, no... I feel there’s still an unresolved... unresolved..."

The words "problem" hadn’t even finished when the Barbarian King abruptly fell silent, for in his eyes, the elderly with graying hair had already grabbed the Wolf Mother, dislocating her limbs, then lifting her like a chick before him. He instructed, "Huang’Er, keep an eye on her. If anything unusual happens, kill her immediately, and if any Wolf Mother appears, kill every Wolf Mother."

The Barbarian King found his words stuck in his throat, his eyes wide, mouth agape.

This...

Yet Xiaozhao wasn’t surprised, she even covered her mouth with a little laugh.

Li Yuan lightly coughed, saying, "Xiaozhao, it’s your turn..."

"Yes, Papa."

Xiaozhao remained as gentle and well-behaved as ever.

She took a step forward, a dense, dark, chilling sea of Wu Ya surged from around her like a black tide, flying out around them with a "crash," then whirling in mid-air, swiftly sweeping towards the depths of the Divine Tomb.

Quickly, the Wu Ya rushed into the Divine Tomb, transforming into tens of thousands of "0~1," dispersing around the Yin Yang Fish, starting a grand cleansing.

The Wolf Mother, or rather the Tomb Guardian, suddenly looked up, staring at Li Rui in shock, saying, "You... how can there be such Jade Remains in this world?!"
