Chapter 15: Ghost Claw, Ancient God, Life Creation Space
Su Mo certainly wouldn’t watch helplessly as A Ning’s delicate and beautiful figure was torn apart and eaten by Corpse Beetles. The reason he said that was to make A Ning obediently hand over the Ghost Claw to him.
This girl didn’t know if she had been brainwashed or what, but she was loyally devoted to Qiu Dekao, often acting quite ruthlessly and using any means necessary.
Since he had come to this Tomb Raider World and encountered A Ning here, Su Mo wanted to train her a bit.
If he could train her to be more obedient, Su Mo wouldn’t mind changing her fate.
It must be known that in the original story, her ending wasn’t good at all; she was bitten to death by a venomous snake in Snake Marsh Ghost City and was eventually dragged into the snake nest…
Hearing Su Mo’s words, A Ning’s face immediately turned somewhat pale.
Although she still had a gun in her hand, the bullets had failed to penetrate the Corpse Beetles’ shells when she shot at them earlier, leaving her with no confidence in the gun or bullets at this moment.
She even less wanted to use it to threaten Su Mo at this time.
After being silent for a few seconds, she threw the Ghost Claw in her hand toward Su Mo.
Su Mo casually reached out and caught the Ghost Claw in his hand.
This Ghost Claw was pitch black all over, neither metal nor jade, and it was unknown what material it was made of.
As soon as he took hold of it, Su Mo felt a chilling intent piercing straight through his skin.
In an instant,
the darkness before his eyes suddenly spread out, like a tide sweeping through and breaking open the entire Tomb Chamber, suddenly making the world before him extremely vast!
Immediately after,
a terrifying scene suddenly appeared before Su Mo’s eyes:
Beneath Black Clouds,
layer upon layer of steles, tombs, and graves stretched like continuous mountain peaks,
with black qi and green smoke rising between the peaks like billowing gunpowder!
Countless Walking Corpses wandered through the mist,
their eerie eye pupils like the underworld sea, emitting a sinister glow filled with the aura of death!
Amidst this terrifying underworld of Yin Mountain Underworld River…
a Bronze Tree covered in green copper rust rose straight from the ground,
its Crown blotting out the sky and sun!
Beneath the thick cyan-green branches and trunk, countless massive black chains,
crisscrossed and spanning the heavens!
Beneath the Bronze Tree,
a nine-colored nine-headed giant snake coiled and danced in flight, each snake head swirling as if able to ripple through space and time!
A giant worm like a city gate writhed, opening its bloody maw to devour everything around it, chewing all into the void!
A colossal Precious Flower, its petals blooming as if weaving thousands of illusions, each illusion like a bottomless dream…
Su Mo looked at the scene before him, his heart filled with shock and awe.
He knew this must be the Ancient God of the Tomb Raider World!
This was a world fusing Ghost Blows Out the Light, Stealing the Pen, and all sorts of eerie elements, with not only Queen Mother of the West’s ancient kingdom but also Bronze Tree, Bronze Gate, and terrifying Ancient Gods hidden in many tombs.
And at the moment Su Mo obtained the Ghost Claw, countless illusions of Ancient Gods appeared before his eyes!
This world was far more eerie and grand than Su Mo had imagined…
“You have touched the Ancient God power contained deep within the Ghost Claw and gained Enlightenment of Life Creation Space!”
As the system prompt sound fell, a massive Space suddenly unfolded before Su Mo’s eyes.
This was a huge Space hidden in the void, which could expand or retract with Su Mo’s intent, yet it did not exist within this world.
Su Mo couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
He hadn’t expected that obtaining the Ghost Claw would allow him to gain Enlightenment of a System Space through his heaven-defying Comprehension!
This Space theoretically seemed expandable to an immense size, enough to hold many things, and was extremely useful to Su Mo.
Su Mo then willed the Life Creation Space to retract, put the Ghost Claw into his bosom, and turned to walk toward the other side.
A Ning was stunned at the sight:
“Hey! You… why didn’t you save me?”
Su Mo turned his face to her with a slight smile;
“I’ve got the Ghost Claw now, why should I save you?”
Hearing this, A Ning’s face turned pale with anger, and she raised her hand to fire a shot at Su Mo.
But Su Mo was prepared; seeing her Arm lift, he quickly jumped to the side.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, startling all the Corpse Beetles on the Ground.
Several Corpse Beetles immediately turned and pounced toward A Ning, two dog-sized ones climbing directly onto the statue, their front claws extending as if about to grab her.
A Ning hurriedly aimed downward and fired at these two Corpse Beetles.
But the bullets ricocheted off their bodies, unable to even penetrate their shells.
The two Corpse Beetles seemed even more enraged, opening their claws to grab at A Ning.
A Ning’s face turned pale with fright, her gun out of bullets; she simply threw it at one Corpse Beetle’s head, crying out in panic:
“Save me…”
At this moment, Su Mo walked over again.
The Corpse Beetles on the ground seemed to smell the aura on him and immediately cleared a path.
Seeing this, A Ning was stunned.
These Corpse Beetles were actually afraid of him!
What kind of person was he?
Seeing Su Mo approach, A Ning became much more obedient, looking at him pitifully:
“Save me… as long as you save me, you can have anything you want!”
Su Mo looked at her, his face showing a half-smile:
“Anything? Can I have you?”
A Ning’s face immediately flushed slightly; she bit her lip, silent for a few seconds, then said softly:
“You… you’re too bad. You… even if you want me, you have to save me first!”
Su Mo smiled faintly, walked under the statue, and kicked out at one Corpse Beetle.
Bang!
This dog-sized Corpse Beetle was kicked flying directly by him; the other turned to attack but was immediately kicked again by Su Mo, its shell shattered as it flew back.
The remaining smaller Corpse Beetles seemed to fear the aura on Su Mo and immediately turned to flee.
A Ning watched this scene, her mouth agape in an O shape from shock.
She had lost over a dozen men in this Tomb Chamber; though they were all well-trained and armed with various Weapons, they were powerless against these terrifying Corpse Beetles and were quickly killed.
Yet Su Mo, who looked like an ordinary young man, had scared them off barehanded!
What kind of person was he?
At this moment, Su Mo clapped his hands:
“It’s fine now, come down!”
A Ning snapped out of her daze and quickly jumped down from the statue.
Seeing her down, Su Mo turned and walked toward the front of the Tomb Chamber.
A Ning stood there stunned for a few seconds, unsure whether to follow him or what to do.
Just then, the sound of Corpse Beetles came from the distance again.
A Ning trembled all over and hurriedly followed obediently behind Su Mo.
Su Mo glanced back at her and smiled:
“Follow closely; from now on, you’re mine!”
A Ning’s face flushed slightly again; her beautiful eyes looked at Su Mo, filled with some doubt, some admiration, and even more resentment and helplessness.
What kind of person was this guy?
