Chapter 23: Listening To The Corpse Beetle King’s Trembling Cry, Enlightening To The Lion’s Roar Skill
After Wu Tianzhen and the others left, Su Mo’s gaze targeted the tree hole.
That tree hole was where the coffin was hidden, and the Ghost Seal must be there!
Moreover, although that golden Corpse Beetle King was flying in the air, its position was always near the cave entrance.
In this tree hole, there must definitely be some extraordinary things!
Thinking of this, Su Mo immediately lifted his foot and walked toward the tree hole.
But just as he had taken two steps, a gust of wind suddenly came from overhead.
He didn’t look up, and relying on instinct, he jumped to one side.
A mummified corpse wrapped in vines suddenly fell from the air and smashed heavily onto the spot where Su Mo had just been standing.
This kind of mummified corpse was perhaps a tomb raider who had entered this place many years ago, but for some reason it was wrapped in vines, suspended in the air like a fly caught by a spider.
At this moment, it was swung by the vines, attacking Su Mo like a meteor hammer.
Bang!
The mummified corpse smashed onto the ground and was instantly shattered to pieces, with broken bones and flesh scattered all over the ground.
Before Su Mo could figure out what was happening, a second mummified corpse was swung toward him by a long snake-like vine.
While Su Mo quickly jumped away again, he looked toward the air.
In the air, long snake-like vines smashed down toward Su Mo’s position one after another.
And at this moment, the Corpse Beetle swarm behind him had already flooded like a tide, submerging all areas outside the cave platform, with countless pitch-black Corpse Beetles of various sizes emitting creaking sounds as they swarmed toward the base of the tree.
Su Mo’s expression also involuntarily became grave.
At this time, vine-wrapped mummified corpses kept falling from the air, and behind him there was also the Corpse Beetle tide,
If he was not careful, he might not even be able to leave this cave!
At that moment, he suddenly saw the Corpse Beetle King hovering in the air for a moment before turning around and flying toward the Blood Corpse skull below.
Su Mo couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
This thing still wanted to go back?
Earlier, it had flown out because Su Mo had chopped open the Blood Corpse skull, making it sense a threat.
Now it still wanted to fly back!
In other words, although the Blood Corpse’s head had been severed and the skull split open, causing the Corpse Beetle King to fly out, there was still some kind of connection between them and the Nine-headed Cypress.
And precisely because of this, the Nine-headed Cypress’s attacks on Su Mo had been so ferocious from the start!
Understanding this, Su Mo immediately dashed forward in one arrow step, dodging two mummified corpses falling from the air, and rushed toward the Blood Corpse skull near the tree hole.
The Corpse Beetle King’s figure flickered in the air, suddenly diving down and landing on top of the Blood Corpse skull, then burrowing headfirst into the bloody brain tissue within the skull.
As the Corpse Beetle King entered the brain tissue, the umbilical cord-like bloodline between the tree hole and the skull suddenly tightened, then quickly retracted back into the tree hole.
Its speed suddenly became extremely fast, reaching the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.
Su Mo hurriedly lunged toward it again.
But at that moment, a gust of wind suddenly came from the air.
Four or five long snake-like vines suddenly fell together between the cave entrance and Su Mo, with the mummified corpses wrapped at the vine ends smashing heavily toward his head.
In this critical moment, Su Mo had no choice but to jump to one side again.
Boom boom…
Four or five mummified corpses smashed heavily onto the ground at the same time, with broken bones and flesh splattering.
Because of this attack, the Blood Corpse skull had already been quickly dragged into the tree hole by the bloodline.
And many Corpse Beetles behind Su Mo had already accelerated to the base of the tree, only a few meters away from him!
Those smaller Corpse Beetles seemed somewhat fearful when they got close.
But those Corpse Beetles as big as dogs quickly rushed toward Su Mo.
Su Mo kicked away two Corpse Beetles with his leg, but more Corpse Beetles charged fiercely at him.
He couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.
At this point, the Kirin Bloodline aura on his body seemed insufficient to deter so many large Corpse Beetles.
And at this time, many vines were still dancing overhead, smashing down toward him.
The situation had already become extremely dangerous!
Su Mo gritted his teeth and slashed the Frost Moon Sword across his palm.
Earlier, Little Brother had used his blade to cut open his own skin, letting Kirin Blood drip down, filling the space with the Kirin Blood aura and scaring off these Corpse Beetles.
Now Su Mo seemed to have only this method to quickly scare off these Corpse Beetles.
As the sword edge cut open his palm, fresh blood immediately dripped down along the blade.
A thick Kirin Blood aura quickly spread through the air.
Those large and small Corpse Beetles suddenly let out a low hum and all stopped in place, not daring to rush forward anymore.
It really worked!
As Su Mo looked at the halted Corpse Beetle swarm and relaxed slightly, he suddenly heard a low hum coming from the tree hole behind him again.
It was exactly the Corpse Beetle King emitting that high-frequency vibration sound once more.
This time’s vibration became even sharper and more urgent.
Although the volume wasn’t high, it seemed to pierce through the eardrums.
Su Mo’s eardrums felt as if they were being pricked by needles!
And those Corpse Beetles that had originally been scared off by the Kirin Blood aura on Su Mo suddenly became restless.
They let out bursts of low hums and suddenly began crawling toward Su Mo again.
But at that moment, a light sound suddenly came to Su Mo’s ears:
“You listened to the Corpse Beetle King’s vibration and gained enlightenment…”
A spiritual spring suddenly surged in Su Mo’s mind.
That Corpse Beetle King’s vibration seemed not only to pierce his eardrums but also to grant him new enlightenment.
“You have comprehended the Lion’s Roar Skill!”
“The Lion’s Roar Skill is one of the Shaolin seventy-two supreme skills, the most rigid and powerful. It can project Dantian inner energy outward, resonating the three cavities together to amplify the sound to the extreme!”
“Under the clear whistle, it’s like thunder shattering the sky, making enemies’ livers and galls crack and bones chill, even shattering their hearts and souls…”
“You can also project Dantian inner energy outward, channeling the Kirin Bloodline Power within your body to expand the Lion’s Roar Skill’s power to the maximum, even reaching the point where one angry roar makes a hundred beasts bow their heads!”
As the prompt sounded, a spiritual spring instantly surged in Su Mo’s mind.
In just a few seconds, he had fully comprehended the essence of the Lion’s Roar Skill, and his mind instantly became clear!
The restless Corpse Beetle tide had surged toward Su Mo again, with the first few Corpse Beetles already within one meter of him.
At that moment, Su Mo suddenly gathered his energy and unleashed Tongue Blooming Thunder:
“Retreat!”
This angry roar was like thunder breaking through the air, shaking the surroundings.
The cave produced a cavity effect under the roar, instantly amplifying the sound several times over.
The entire cave seemed to tremble because of it.
In the distance, Zhang Qiling and the others, who had already proceeded along the tomb passage for a while, faintly heard the roar and couldn’t help but stop in shock.
Wu Tianzhen exclaimed:
“This… is Master Su roaring!”
Uncle Wu San drew in a cold breath:
“This roar, from so far away, can actually transmit over…”
Da Kui:
“Master Su’s power is truly terrifyingly strong!”
Pan Zi:
“Master Su… he won’t be in trouble, right?”
A Ning looked back, her beautiful eyes full of worry and shock, her face already somewhat pale.
Little Brother gazed deeply into the darkness behind them, a complex expression appearing in his eyes:
“He… in this roar of his, there even seems to be a feeling of Kirin power!”
