Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chu Ning walked past the statue of Shi Qilin, and when he reached the end, he found another statue of a mythical beast in the shadow of Shi Qilin.

Chu Ning shined the flashlight, and then frowned fiercely.

This is a statue of a mythical beast that looks like a tiger, is as big as an ox, and has a pair of wings.

This appearance corresponds to one of the four ferocious beasts in ancient times - "Qiongqi".

The reason why Chu Ning frowned was because Qiongqi was one of the four most ferocious beasts in ancient times, while Qilin was one of the five most auspicious beasts in ancient times.

One represents evil and the other represents kindness.

It is clearly recorded in the book that the relationship between the two is that they are incompatible, and they can also be considered as natural enemies.

But why is there a strange and ferocious beast placed in a tomb with a unicorn carved on it?

This was the reason why Chu Ning frowned. It was so contradictory.

Chu Ning walked forward slowly, took a closer look, and found that the material carved by this Qiongqi beast was similar to that of Shi Qilin.

But at the position of Qiongqi's eyes, that part of the stone carving seemed to have been inlaid in later.

Chu Ning reached out and tried to move the pattern on the eyes of Qiongqi's statue. Just as he tried to use force, Chu Ning took off a small piece of it.

This made Chu Ning also stunned. He didn't expect this statue to be so...unsturdy? !

Looking at the Qiongqi eye fragment in his hand, Chu Ning felt as if he was being stared at by something around him.

A chill ran down his spine. Chu Ning held the fragment in his palm and was about to continue walking deeper when the surroundings suddenly shook.

Chu Ning hurriedly looked around him by the light of the corpse oil burning in the tomb.

Chu Ning's eyes finally settled on a place where two red lights as big as lanterns were flashing.

Chu Ning didn't hesitate at this moment, turned around and ran away quickly.

The two red lights also slowly walked out of the shadows, resembling a tiger and as big as an ox, with wings covering their backs.

This is clearly a living and mysterious beast!

Chu Ning felt the sound of the wind coming out of her ears, but she felt a dark and damp breath on her back.

This breath was also mixed with some stench, and at that moment Chu Ning seemed to be standing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Without this smell, Chu Ning would not be sure, but with this smell, Chu Ning is now 100% sure.

The living ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi opened its mouth wide and breathed a sigh of relief toward Chu Ning's back.

Chu Ning immediately stopped and turned around. At the same time, he drew a dagger from his cuff and stabbed backward.

The dagger pierced Qiongqi's neck, but no blood was seen. Qiongqi's fur was too hard.

How could an ancient ferocious beast be stabbed and bled by a human being at the first sight of injury?

Chu Ning also knew that his sudden action would not injure Qiongqi behind him, but it would buy him some time to escape.

Chu Ning rolled forward to avoid Qiongqi's claws.

Qiongqi couldn't help but become even more angry when he saw that the two-legged beast in front of him had dodged his attack.

The cruelty and cruelty revealed in the blood-red eyes was shocking.

Qiongqi originally took pleasure in destruction and killing, and also liked to eat people. Now this ferocious beast was awakened by some unknown opportunity.

At this moment, facing Chu Ning, who had a sweet smell in his blood, he naturally wanted to swallow it into his belly to alleviate the hunger of hundreds or even thousands of years.

Qiongqi's blood-red eyes looked at the running figure in front of him, then he spread his wings and fanned towards Chu Ning.

Chu Ning suddenly felt a strong force coming from his back, lifting his feet off the ground.

As Chu Ning thought, his feet had indeed left the ground. Chu Ning wanted to quickly stabilize his body in the air, but Qiongqi jumped up.

This time Qiongqi's claws hit Chu Ning and covered Chu Ning's unstable figure in mid-air to the marble floor.

With a "bang", Chu Ning hit the ground. For a moment, he felt as if his internal organs were about to shift.

Even though Chu Ning vomited a mouthful of blood from his mouth, no matter how strong his recovery ability was, he still felt the passage of life at this moment.

In Chu Ning's blurred vision was the appearance of the evil beast that rushed toward him after Qiongqi landed.

At this moment, what Chu Ning was thinking about was that his small body might not be enough to fill his teeth.

At the moment Qiongqi woke up, some vibrations were heard outside the tomb, and Qi Tiezui suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"Lord Buddha, something happened to Xiao Ning!" He said and rushed towards the entrance of the cave where Chu Ning left.

Er Laohong stood up and hurriedly stopped Qi Tiezui who didn't look right.

"Master Ba! What did you think?"

Zhang Qishan stood up with the same solemnity, but Qi Tiezui was impatient and only said four words.

"Ying, Huo, Shou, Xin."

("Yinghuo" refers to Mars. Because Mars is as bright as fire and its whereabouts are unpredictable, it was called "Yinghuo" in ancient my country.

But Mars is considered to represent war and death, both in the East and the West. )

Zhang Qishan and Er Laohong pulled Qi Tiezui together, "Old Ba! Even if we go now, we won't meet Xiao Ning!

And there is this Fuxi maze blocking us.

Do you mean that the slight vibration just now meant that Xiao Ning was in danger? "

After listening to Zhang Qishan's words, Qi Tiezui made a fist, pinched his fingers into his palm, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

After Qi Tiezui calmed down, he looked at Er Yahong and Zhang Qishan with red eyes, "I figured, Xiao Ning's life hangs by a thread!"

Zhang Qishan and Er Yaohong looked at each other, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

Er Laohong had already taken out the iron marbles and said to Zhang Qishan without refusal.

"Lord Buddha, we are going to pick up Xiao Ning."

Zhang Qishan nodded without hesitation and asked Qi Tiezui to pack his things first.

Several people were planning to get in through the hole where Chu Ning started.

From the hole behind the three people, Chu Ning stumbled out, covered in blood.

Zhang Qishan, Er Laohong, and Qi Tiezui turned around when they heard the noise, and saw a bloody man. The details of the wound were clearly visible, the muscles were split, and the blood was dripping.

Qi Tiezui ran over anxiously, "Xiao Ning! What's wrong with you?!"

Er Laohong also held Chu Ning's other side, her voice full of anger, "Xiao Ning? Xiao Ning!"

Er Lahong looked angry as to why she didn't enter the tomb with Chu Ning.

Chu Ning's smiling eyes that were always bent were tightly closed at the moment, and there were small wounds on the child's face.

His white lips were open wide, and he was panting hard, as if he had difficulty breathing.

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Qishan could no longer link Chu Ning to his own interests at this moment. The first thought in his heart was that Chu Ning must live!

"Chun Ning! What happened!"

Zhang Qishan shouted Chu Ning's name with all his strength, trying to wake Chu Ning up.

However, Chu Ning's bloody eyelashes only trembled slightly. Qi Tiezui held Chu Ning's hand and felt that Chu Ning's hand was very cold.

At this moment, Chu Ning felt as if she had fallen into endless darkness. Someone was calling her in her ears, but she didn't even have the strength to respond.

Qi Tiezui hurriedly interrupted Zhang Qishan, "Oh, don't ask! Take Xiao Ning out first!"

Qi Tiezui lifted Chu Ning up and placed him on Zhang Qishan's back, his brows never loosening.

No wonder Jie Jiuye was able to pick up Chu Ning with one hand when he was in the Hong Mansion. This child was really too light!

Erlanghong saw Chu Ning being carried out by Zhang Qishan, so she and Qi Tiezui hurried to catch up.

As soon as Zhang Qishan came out, the adjutant greeted him, "Lord Buddha! Xiao Ning?"

Zhang Qishan didn't say anything more and shouted, "Let's go!"

Adjutant Zhang suppressed his worries and hurriedly went to the entrance of the cave to call the soldiers who went in to look for someone.

Chu Ning was gently placed on the ground by Zhang Qishan. Qi Tiezui stretched out his arms to hold Chu Ning against him, fearing that Chu Ning would be uncomfortable and let Chu Ning lean against him.

Zhang Qishan stood up and met Er Laohong, "Second Master, look at him!"

Er Laohong nodded solemnly, looking at Chu Ning full of self-blame and worry.

Zhang Qishan turned around and stopped a soldier who was still trying to enter the cave entrance, "You can't go in! It's dangerous inside!"

Call them all back! Go quickly! "

Zhang Qishan almost shouted these words at this moment. Adjutant Zhang was busy greeting the remaining soldiers and calling out the names of those soldiers who entered the cave entrance to look for people.

"Xiao Du! Xiao Du, come back soon..."

Zhang Qishan didn't know the reason for his anger. He looked around cautiously and immediately returned to Chu Ning.

"how's it going?"
