The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and said:

"The people of the Samsara Sect used the memories in the Ghost Mother's brain to materialize this city. What they materialized should be the scene of Evil Luo Sea City at that moment."

"In other words, time in this Evil Luo Sea City will forever remain at that moment in the Ghost Mother's memory, where time stands still and there are no living beings."

The three nodded, their faces showing a look of sudden realization.

The power of that ghost cave—capable of materializing the entire city and freezing time within it in an instant—is indeed terrifying beyond measure.

Compared to this, the Ghost Eye Curse... doesn't seem like such an incomprehensible curse after all.

..........................

ten minutes later.

The four arrived at a stone chamber, where a pot of freshly stewed yak meat was placed before them. The broth in the stone pot was boiling, and the yak meat inside had been stewed until tender and fragrant.

"Fang Yun (bjbd)...it's probably best not to eat this beef, isn't it?"

"We still have enough rations on us."

Watching Fang Yun pick up the wooden bowl, scoop out a bowl of yak meat, and hand it to her, Hua said in a low voice.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner also looked hesitant, as if they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.

This city was manifested by the power of the Ghost Cave. If you touch anything in the city, who knows what problems might arise.

Seeing the three of them hesitate, Fang Yun shrugged and smiled:

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the food here. Since time has stopped, the food in the city is naturally good too."

“If there were a problem with this Manifestation City, then those people from the Samsara Sect would have perished here long ago, yet we haven’t seen a single corpse along the way.”

“We can even find more meat in the city to take with us and eat on the road, but we can’t touch these things after the sacrificial ceremony ends.”

As he spoke, Fang Yun served himself a bowl of yak meat and began to eat it heartily.

To be honest, back in those days thousands of years ago, when seasonings were scarce, the fact that the people of the Demon Kingdom could stew beef so deliciously shows that their culinary skills were quite advanced.

Of course... more likely, it's because they haven't eaten anything good in the past month.

Once we entered the snowy region, we could only eat dried meat and flatbread. After entering the city of disaster, even flatbread was no longer available, and we could only eat dried meat that had been soaked in water. Now that we have stewed beef, it naturally tastes delicious.

Seeing Fang Yun devouring yak meat, the three exchanged glances, smiled at each other, and then picked up their wooden bowls to eat as well.

Even Fang Yun wasn't afraid, so the three of them, who were already carrying the curse of the Ghost Eye, really had nothing to fear.

.......................

After eating and drinking their fill, the four of them discussed it and decided to rest for the night before setting off again.

They had spent most of the day following the glacier, and after passing through the Wall of Disaster, they walked for a while longer. At this point, all three of them, except for Fang Yun, were quite tired.

Fang Yun leaned against the wall with Hua in his arms, playing with a pair of jade-like demon eyes in his hands.

Everything in the ancient city was manifested through the power of the Ghost Cave. Except for the inability to manifest time and souls, everything was indistinguishable from reality. This power... was far too strong.

"Once we get out, we must find out how to use the Magic Eye..."

"Damn... if we use this demonic eye as a sacrifice, won't we be swallowed up by the altar...?"

"Oh... I remember now, this Demon Eye isn't a sacrifice, it's a key with energy opposite to the Muchen Pearl... and it can be returned."

Fang Yun tried to recall the matter using the Demon Eye, and it took him a long time to remember it.

The Muchen Pearl can sever the connection between the imaginary space and the real world, making everything materialized using the energy of the Ghost Cave a reality. However, the Muchen Pearl alone is not enough; it also requires the power of the Demon Eye, which is the opposite of the Muchen Pearl's energy.

The Muchen Pearl is the real eye of the Serpent God, while the Demon Eye is the boundless demonic pupil conjured by the illusory realm; one is real, the other illusory.

Only by combining these two forces can the connection between the imaginary space and the real world be closed.

The situation he feared would not happen. If closing the eyes once required a pair of demonic eyes, then the people of the Demon Kingdom would have been killed by the curse of the demonic eyes long ago.

Chapter 129 The Cow Moo at Midnight!

"Moo..."

The four had just finished eating and drinking and had been resting for a while when suddenly, a cow mooing sound came from the depths of the stone chamber.

There are many yaks in Tibet, so it's not surprising to hear them mooing.

But this is Evil Luo Sea City, beneath the deep glacial abyss!

Although the sound of the cow moo was no different from the usual sound of a cow moo, it still gave people an extremely terrifying feeling when it rang out in the lifeless city of Evil Luohai.

Swah...

As soon as the cow moo rang out, Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner jumped up, drew their weapons, and aimed them at the depths of the stone chamber from which the moo came.

Hua also looked solemn. If she hadn't been lying in Fang Yun's arms, she would have jumped up in fright from the sound of the cow mooing.

"Go, have a look."

After the pine tree blossomed, Fang Yun also stood up and looked into the depths of the stone chamber.

He remembered the plot... just a bull's head that still showed signs of life.

"Senior brother...we just ate that pot of beef, and now this cow is mooing...could there be something in it?"

The old foreigner, with a serious expression, asked Partridge Whistle a question.

The existence of this manifested city is already incomprehensible, so if some kind of bull demon or monster were to appear within it now... that wouldn't be entirely incomprehensible.

Partridge Whistle thought for a moment, shook his head, and looked at Fang Yun who was walking over with flowers.

"Brother Fang, what are your thoughts?"

"Why don't we go forward and investigate? Even if there are some ferocious beings, they will definitely not be able to stop the four of us working together."

"You guys are moving mountains way too violently... Don't always think the worst."

Fang Yun quipped, then laughed, "Don't worry, there are definitely no monsters or demons in the Kunlun Mountains."

“If there were any dangers in this manifested city, we should have encountered them when we were inspecting the city earlier.”

After saying that, Fang Yun grabbed Hua's hand and walked past Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner into the depths of the stone chamber.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner gripped their weapons, exchanged a glance, and then followed closely behind.

Deep within this stone chamber, there are several branching passages, all leading to other stone chambers.

There was only one cave at the deepest part, with a wooden door above it. What was most terrifying was that there was a conspicuous handprint on the wooden door, and it was a bloody handprint.

The bloody handprint looked very fresh, with blood droplets even slowly sliding down the palm print.

Upon seeing the bloody handprint, Hua, who was walking beside Fang Yun, immediately became serious.

Bloody handprints...blood corpses...blood corpses from thousands of years ago?

However, the next moment, a look of doubt appeared on Hua's face. After her delicate nose twitched twice, she said somewhat uncertainly:

"This taste...is it cow's blood?"

"Bull's blood?"

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner poked their heads out and looked toward the wooden door.

Upon seeing the bloody handprint, their expressions changed drastically; clearly, they too had thought of the blood corpse.

"Don't worry, that's cow's blood."

Fang Yun calmed the group down, then pushed open the wooden door and went inside.

As soon as you step into the stone chamber, a strong smell of blood hits you.

There was no one in the room. The stone walls around the room were splattered with cow blood. In the center was a wooden platform with many slaughtering tools, piles of yak meat, and cut cowhides.

The yak meat and hide looked very fresh, still bloody and steaming, like freshly slaughtered yak meat.

It is obvious that this is a slaughterhouse.

"That's big enough..."

Fang Yun raised his head and looked up. He saw a yak head hanging above him, but this yak head was more than twice the size of an ordinary yak head.

The bull's head was hanging upside down on the top of the stone. It had been completely stripped clean, and was covered in blood. Half of its tongue was hanging out of its mouth, and hot air was coming out of its nostrils. Its two huge eyes were staring straight at Fang Yun.

When it saw Fang Yun, the ox's eyes darted around, as if it wanted to take a closer look at the four people in front of it.

"Moo~"

At the same time, another moo sounded from its mouth.

But at this moment, none of the four people intended to make a move. Instead, they took two steps forward and carefully examined the bull's head.

"This bull's head is still alive...tsk tsk, it's still not dead after all this?"

The old foreigner clicked his tongue, his face showing amazement.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

He had initially thought there was a thousand-year-old blood corpse hidden in the room, but it turned out to be just a bull's head, which saved him the trouble of fighting.

Partridge Whistle stared at the bull's head for a while, then looked at Fang Yun with some confusion.

“Brother Fang, this city of manifestation shouldn’t be able to manifest living things, right? But this bull’s head… is definitely alive!”

After sorting out his thoughts, Fang Yun slowly explained, "There are indeed no living creatures in this city, and this bull-headed creature is already dead."
