174 It's the Smell of Other Foxes!

Liu Yuan looked at the white stone tablet in front of him.

The stone tablet was about three meters tall. In modern terms, it was about three meters tall, about the height of a floor.

They did not pass through the wall from Tang Yuanhua's side. Instead, they followed Hong Luan's instructions and walked to the end of the secret chamber, which seemed to be a secret chamber where the Puppeteer made puppets. As expected, they found a bronze cauldron.

It was also rumored to be He Junhao's secret treasure, one of the Nine Cauldrons of the Martial Dao.

The body of the cauldron was about 1.5 meters tall. It was not tall or grand, but rather small and exquisite. Many mysterious runes were carved on the bronze body of the cauldron, and there were also ancient hunting scenes of wild humans.

Naturally, Liu Yuan recognized it. It was the same as the runes on the chains under the Dragon Lock Dagger. It was an ancient talisman.

The closer he got to the bronze cauldron, the more he could feel the powerful and invisible pressure.

The meridians and Dantian of the entire body would tremble. The pressure was enough to seal the spiritual energy of an Immortal cultivator and turn him into a mortal. For Immortal cultivators, it was more like a natural fear of facing a natural enemy.

However, because Liu Yuan had just become an Immortal cultivator less than three months ago, he was not too unaccustomed to becoming weak again.

However, for the Immortal cultivators who had decades or even centuries of cultivation, it was an out-and-out nightmare.

Liu Yuan did not remember much information about the mysterious Nine Cauldrons of the Martial Dao. After all, no one in the game had discovered that the real Martial Emperor's inheritance was hidden here, including Liu Yuan. They all thought that the cultivation method dropped by the Body Demon was the real way to enter the path through martial arts.

There was no trace of anything related to the Nine Cauldrons of the Martial Dao.

They only knew that it was the key to the entire tomb's magic formation, but no one knew where it was. Countless players had searched for it, but they had all come to no avail.

At that time, although Liu Yuan had conquered Hong Luan, he could not order Hong Luan, who was a fixed NPC, to do things in the tomb. In this game, the conquering timeline and the plot timeline were two completely different concepts.

Until now, he had used a drop of blood from Hong Luan's heart to activate the bronze cauldron and open a portal.

Only then did he find this Secret Realm.

If the two little foxes had not followed his aura and found him, Tang Yuanhua and the others would have been like the players. Even if they had cleared the entire Martial Emperor's Tomb instance dungeon, they would not have been able to find this place.

As soon as he was teleported, he saw the stone tablet in front of him.

It was obvious that it had something to do with the bronze cauldron.

The base of the stone tablet was like white jade, as if it was one with the stone tablet. It was white and transparent, and there were no words or patterns carved on it. It was blank and clean.

It was a wordless monument.

After Liu Yuan observed the surroundings and discovered that it was an island, he let Zhizhi, who had been hiding, recover her power. She was the spirit of the mountains and seas, and could naturally absorb power from the mountains, rivers, plants, and animals in this kind of place. Although it was not much, the advantage was that it was endless, and it was easy for her to keep healing Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan's injuries had mostly recovered. Due to the increase in his cultivation level, his self-healing ability had also been greatly enhanced. With Zhizhi, his natural recovery speed was also quite fast.

At least he could move freely now.

“What is this stone tablet?” Liu Yuan tilted his head and asked.

Hong Luan was still being carried by him and was leaning on his body. Her small head rubbed against his neck, and her soft hair felt slightly itchy.

Now that they were clearly out of the range of the tomb, there was no reason to pretend to be unconscious. The reason why she was still holding his neck was simply that the little puppet wanted to hold him.

To kiss, hug, and lift her up… All that was left was to lift her up.

As for what form of lifting, Liu Yuan had the final say.

The puppet raised her head and glanced at the white stone tablet. It shook its head in confusion and said, “Hong Luan has never entered this Secret Realm before, so I don't know what it is. However, it should be related to the Old Master's inheritance.”

Hong Luan referred to her creator as ‘Madam', so the person she called ‘Master' must be Martial Emperor, He Junhao.

However, from Hong Luan's past conversations, she was He Junhao's and that Puppeteer's last proud work before they died. That Puppeteer wife did not have time to spend much time with Hong Luan before both of them died. In the end, Hong Luan, the final work, also the most perfect work, became the tomb keeper.

Therefore, even though Hong Luan had close adoration for the two of them, she spent most of her time alone in the tomb.

Liu Yuan touched Hong Luan's head and told her to stop for a while. He then went up to check the tablet.

Before he could touch the white monument, he heard a loud explosion in the distance.

Liu Yuan turned around and saw many birds and beasts in the forest that had been scared away.

“Someone's coming?”

Zhiying at the side nodded slightly, pulled out her long sword, and walked in front of Liu Yuan with an expressionless face. The tip of the sword was pointed down, and her eyes were cold. Her obedient appearance was completely gone.

Liu Yuan's first impression of her was that of a cold, cruel, and innocent girl. She was the girl who had grown up in the demonic sect after being influenced by the demonic sect and had killed people as if they were nothing but weeds. Now, that merciless girl had returned.

Liu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but now was not the time to think about other things. He immediately nocked his bow and looked warily into the forest. He used his eyes to signal for the few of them to retreat and hide behind the stone tablet.

There was no spiritual energy here, so he could not use most of his skills. However, he still retained his initial novice skills. Those elemental skills that he could use to form arrows were all sealed. The arrows he had were all picked up from the corpses.

There were a total of 42 arrows, and he was starting to get nervous as he was running out of arrows.

There was a little excitement in this nervous mood.

Liu Yuan subconsciously took two steps back and stood behind Zhiying and Hong Luan. This was not out of fear, but rather the self-awareness of a long-range unit.

He was a fragile archer, and he was still injured. How could he stand at the front? Wouldn't that be giving away his life?

Hong Luan's fair and delicate fingers pressed together, and then pulled apart a thin silver thread. This thread, which was as tough and sharp as a blade, was her main weapon.

The silk threads used to control the armored puppets were also made of this material, but they were far inferior to the ones in Hong Luan's hands. Even the bodies of the monks who specialized in body cultivation in Kongtong Temple could be torn into pieces in an instant.

Don't ask Liu Yuan how he knew.

However, just as they were on high alert, a young girl's voice suddenly came from the distance. The words ‘caught in the act of adultery!' made Liu Yuan shiver and feel a chill all over his body.

Listening carefully, it was not one voice, but two very similar girls' voices combined.

Liu Yuan quickly recalled and found the only pair of little foxes with twin attributes.

The two Young Mistresses of Mud Mountain.

Speaking of which, Hu Jiuniang was also the cousin of their mother's cousin. Anyway, foxes had a nest of children all their lives, and their relationships were a mess. They were basically relatives.

Just as he was thinking about this, he saw two little foxes running over from the jungle. The two little foxes were as short as winter melons, the ears on their heads were shaking and their tails were bobbing up and down.

Liu Yuan could not help but laugh at first, then he heaved a sigh of relief. So it was these two little guys. He stopped the vigilant Zhiying and Hong Luan, then squatted down and reached out to the little foxes.

Su Bi and Su Zhuang shouted loudly, but the first thing they did when they ran over was to jump into Liu Yuan's arms with joy, their fluffy ears and tails rubbing against each other.

Before Liu Yuan could say anything, Su Bi's ponytails swayed, and she suddenly raised her face and sniffed him seriously. She sniffed from his cheeks, neck, all the way to his waist. When Liu Yuan awkwardly grabbed her, the little fox said in horror, “It's the smell of another fox!”
