Chapter 160: The Corpse General of the Mausoleum

Xu Han frowned slightly, took half a step back, assumed a combat stance, and gazed warily at the coffin before him.

Bang!

That withered hand slowly pushed itself up.

A giant clad in heavy armor slowly rose from the coffin.

Shit-yellow mist swirled around its body, emitting a faint, foul stench.

This giant was not a skeleton.

Its flesh had withered and decayed, turning into a mummified corpse.

Part of the muscles on its face had rotted away, exposing bare, ghastly white bone.

One of its eyes had been corroded until only a pitch-black hollow remained.

The other blood-red eye resembled a lantern, standing out remarkably within the gloomy blue-lit great hall.

A faint layer of golden light covered Xu Han's pupils.

Eye of the Void, activate!

The information of this mummified giant instantly appeared before him.

Xu Han: ???

A Level 80 Gold-tier Boss?

The gap in strength compared to the tomb guards was simply too massive!

The tomb guards were merely Level 50 ordinary fierce beasts.

Yet this guy was actually a Level 80 Gold-tier Boss?

A Tier 5 Gold-tier fierce beast?!

If a squad from any other country had wandered in here, wouldn't they have been instantly wiped out in a single second?

A Tier 5 Gold-tier Boss.

It would take at least a hundred Tier 5 experts joining forces to even deal with it.

This level of strength was completely beyond what they could currently handle.

The Tomb Corpse General fixed its single eye on Xu Han, its ghastly white teeth parting and closing.

A gloomy, hoarse voice echoed.

"Human, you dare to disturb the slumber of my king!"

"Die!"

It drew a massive blade, several meters long, from the coffin.

With a sweeping motion that carried a howling rush of wind, the blade fiercely smashed toward Xu Han!

Xu Han retreated swiftly.

Thud!

The giant blade violently crashed into the exact spot Xu Han had been standing just a moment before.

The hard floor tiles shattered instantly.

Flying gravel scattered everywhere.

Yet it failed to harm Xu Han in the slightest.

Xu Han frowned slightly.

This old undead thing... No, this old mummy!

When on earth did I ever disturb your king's slumber?

However, since you've made the first move, I won't stand on ceremony either.

"Bursting Fireball!"

He let out a low roar.

A crimson, sub-dragon phantom materialized behind him.

"Roar!"

The magma sub-dragon roared, its mouth wide open as a scorching fireball rapidly gathered within.

The crimson fireball illuminated the great hall.

The next second.

The fireball blasted outward, hurtling straight toward the Tomb Corpse General!

Boom!

The scorching fireball struck the Tomb Corpse General and detonated violently.

The terrifying explosion knocked it back half a step, though it didn't sustain any real injuries.

A trace of disdain seemed to flash across the Tomb Corpse General's eyes.

"Humble human, with just this little strength of yours, you are no match for me!"

"Die!"

It raised its heavy blade, tracing a sectoral arc of light, and slashed fiercely toward Xu Han!

Devastating Sweep!

The area covered by this horizontal sweep was extremely vast.

It encompassed nearly half of the great hall.

Gazing at the incoming blade light.

Knowing he couldn't dodge it, Xu Han raised his hand: "Damage Devour!"

A pitch-black whirlpool appeared in his palm.

The whirlpool expanded rapidly at a visible rate.

In the blink of an eye, it grew to the size of a person, shielding Xu Han behind it.

Thud!

The blade landed on the whirlpool, and Xu Han did not retreat a single step.

The powerful rebound force surged back along the blade.

The Tomb Corpse General was knocked back two steps.

Its massive body slammed into the stone pillar behind it with a loud "bang."

The entire great hall trembled slightly.

Adhering to the principle of striking while the iron is hot.

Xu Han drew the Frost Blue Edge, transformed into a blur, and charged swiftly toward the Tomb Corpse General!

...

Inside the tunnel.

Li Hu and the others quickly reached the end of the corridor.

The next moment.

The group froze in place.

After a brief pause.

The man with bear paws swallowed hard and spoke up, "So many skeleton fierce beasts?!"

Li Hu's expression also turned grave.

Although the combat power of these skeleton fierce beasts wasn't exceptionally strong.

Facing a hundred of them simultaneously, the three of them wouldn't dare to rush in blindly and fight.

That would be no different from courting death.

The winged man looked toward the bronze door and spoke up, "Captain, there are sounds coming from inside that door!"

Li Hu nodded. "I heard it."

The bear-pawed man frowned and said, "Could it be that guy from earlier?"

Li Hu narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them. "Who else could it be besides him?"

"I didn't expect this brat to get ahead of us and enter that door."

"I just wonder how he managed to walk past all those skeletons?"

The bear-pawed man gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, why don't we just charge straight in?"

"Even though it's a bit of a stretch for the three of us to handle so many skeletons, it's not entirely impossible."

"We can't let the treasure fall into that brat's hands!"

Li Hu frowned and gave a slight shake of his head. "No, we'll wait right here."

The bear-pawed man was startled, clenching his fists angrily as he demanded, "Captain! What do you mean by this?"

"Are we just going to watch that brat take the treasure away?"

The winged man beside him rolled his eyes. "Was your brain replaced with an iron-backed boar's brain?"

The bear-pawed man glared at the winged man furiously. "What did you say?"

He clenched his fingers into fists, veins bulging on his arms, ready to strike at any moment.

The winged man sneered. "The captain means that we just need to wait right here."

"Once that brat gets the treasure, he'll naturally come out from inside."

"While he's busy dealing with these skeletons, we launch a joint attack and execute him. Won't the treasure be ours then?"

Li Hu nodded slightly. "Exactly, that's what I mean."

The bear-pawed man finally understood.

He lowered his head and said, "Captain is brilliant!"

Li Hu looked toward the bronze door, listening to the commotion inside, the corners of his mouth curving upward. "Just wait."

"The treasure will definitely be ours!"

The other two nodded successively and sat down in the tunnel to wait.

Meanwhile.

In another tunnel.

Basong and his companions also stood at the exit of the corridor, gazing toward the bronze door.

Their thoughts coincided perfectly with those of Li Hu.

Wait right here for the people inside to come out, and then take them down in one fell swoop!

Neither side knew that thirty meters away, others shared the exact same idea.
