Bai Ye walked forward, looking at the stone figures. With a flip of his wrist, a new deck of cards appeared in his hand.
Bai Ye didn't know if these stone figures were the tomb guardian spirits of this stone chamber, as the tomb of the King of Huai Nan was filled with many such creatures, and Bai Ye hadn't encountered all of them in his past life.
However, given the current situation, it seemed only these stone figures were peculiar.
Taking out the cards, Bai Ye casually flicked them forward. The cards spun in the air before striking the stone figures, embedding themselves densely all over them.
As expected, after being attacked, the stone figures began to move. They swayed their bodies, shedding large amounts of dust, and then advanced towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye raised his hand and threw more cards. The cards spun, continuously embedding themselves into the stone figures' bodies, but Bai Ye soon frowned. Although his cards were constantly piercing the stone figures, they didn't seem to be very effective.
The cards kept sticking into the stone figures. While they could create cracks, they couldn't deliver a fatal blow.
Bai Ye thought as he slowly moved his feet, creating distance between himself and the stone figures.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Bai Ye.
"Great Inventor!"
Great Inventor (ability): Every hour, one random technological item can be invented.
Bai Ye suddenly activated the Great Inventor ability. Although it was a white gacha, there might be a surprise!
Instantly, a white light appeared in front of Bai Ye, followed by a pile of assorted parts falling from the light.
"It can create things out of thin air?" Bai Ye looked at the pile of parts. "I wonder what kind of technological item can be assembled."
As Bai Ye pondered, the parts on the ground began to assemble themselves. Soon...
A flashlight appeared before Bai Ye.
Bai Ye's face was instantly filled with confusion. Why a flashlight? Do you call a flashlight a technological item in your world?
"No, no, it just looks like a flashlight. Maybe if I flip the switch, it transforms into a light saber?"
Bai Ye consoled himself while picking up the flashlight.
Solar-powered Flashlight: A flashlight powered by solar energy. It lights up as long as there is sunlight. The downside is that it absolutely will not light up when there is no sunlight.
Bai Ye: "??"
Bai Ye tilted his head. This seemed to be a very remarkable technological item?
It was at this moment that a gust of wind suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ye.
Looking up, he saw that the stone figures had already reached him.
One stone figure, holding a stone spear, swept it horizontally, striking towards Bai Ye's head.
Bai Ye snapped back to reality, instinctively leaning backward to dodge the spear. At the same time, he kicked the stone figure in the chest, sending it flying back.
The next moment, Bai Ye raised the High-Frequency Serrated Blade.
The serrated blades on both sides spun rapidly, emitting a piercing sound, and then Bai Ye forcefully swung the High-Frequency Serrated Blade forward.
With a whoosh!
The spinning serrated blade struck the stone figure's body. The feeling at that moment made Bai Ye feel as if he were chopping vegetables. The stone figure's rather sturdy body was no match for the High-Frequency Serrated Blade, and it was easily cut open. Then, half of its body fell to the ground, shattering into pieces and becoming a pile of rubble.
"As expected, blue gacha is more reliable!"
A hint of joy appeared on Bai Ye's face. This item was even more useful than he had imagined.
Clang!
As Bai Ye thought, he raised the High-Frequency Serrated Blade and collided it with an incoming spear. While blocking the stone figure's attack, Bai Ye suddenly twisted the hilt forcefully.
The High-Frequency Serrated Blade split into two, becoming dual blades, making it more agile.
Taking advantage of this, Bai Ye weaved through the gaps between the stone figures, continuously swinging the dual blades to his sides.
The sound of shattering stone rang out repeatedly.
The strength of these stone figures lay in their stone bodies, possessing considerable defensive capabilities. However, the destructive power of the High-Frequency Serrated Blade was even greater than Bai Ye had imagined, easily destroying the stone figures.
By the time Bai Ye had weaved through the stone figures...
Whoosh!
The bodies of a pile of stone figures shattered and collapsed, turning into countless pieces of stone that rained down on the ground.
Bai Ye twisted his ankle and, with another slash, swept his blade to the side, hitting the neck of a stone figure and severing its head.
"Ning Shuang, control sword!"
As he sheathed his sword, Bai Ye suddenly shouted, and then the Ning Shuang sword, suspended by Bai Ye's side, transformed into a silver streak of light and shot towards Bai Ye's back.
Bang!
A stone figure, holding a stone saber, raised its arm behind Bai Ye. A large hole was pierced through the center of its forehead by the Ning Shuang sword, and then its body toppled backward, crashing into pieces.
"You have successfully killed 15 tomb guardian spirits within the tomb of the King of Huai Nan. Reward: Dao Talismans x99."
As the last stone figure was slain by Bai Ye, one of the forbidden zone missions, killing fifteen tomb guardian spirits, was successfully completed. A stack of yellow paper talismans appeared in Bai Ye's hands.
Dao talismans are not rare items, just consumables. However, they are often indispensable. If one were to learn Taoist arts in the immortal realm, dao talismans are often used as mediums for their casting.
To put it more simply, dao talismans are like bullets for firearms. A machine gun without bullets is just a piece of firewood, and without dao talismans, Taoist arts cannot be cast.
For Bai Ye, these items were temporarily useless. However, wasn't he here for the Five Spirit Plate? Once he obtained the Five Spirit Plate and learned the Five Spirit Incantations, these dao talismans would naturally find their purpose.
At the same time...
As the stone figures were completely eliminated, a wall on the side receded, and a new passage appeared before Bai Ye.
Exiting the stone chamber, the passage led to the left and right. Bai Ye chose to go right, continuing deeper into the tomb of the King of Huai Nan.
In fact, the tomb of the King of Huai Nan was very suitable for treasure hunting, as there were many treasures here. Even if the forbidden zone missions were not completed, good items could be found in some chambers or secret passages.
Although Bai Ye did not obtain the Five Spirit Plate and learn the Five Spirit Incantations in his previous life, he had found many good things in the tomb of the King of Huai Nan.
However, in this life, Bai Ye's goal was clear: he was here for the Five Spirit Plate, so he would not waste time on other matters. Moreover, the tomb of the King of Huai Nan was like a giant maze, and finding all the secret passages based on memories from his past life was not an easy task.
Lost in thought, Bai Ye had already reached the end of the passage, and he could faintly see a light emanating from the end.
