Moreover, looking at the pattern on it, this tomb was also connected to other tombs.
“General, we’ve found the tomb!”
At that moment, another soldier shouted. When they saw the cave forked, they separated.
“General, should we go in?”
Another Mandrill Guard asked Lu Shan.
Lu Shan pondered for a moment before looking at the pattern on the ground.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Shan thought about it and finally decided to enter the tomb. No matter
what, they came here to figure out the real reason for the sudden appearance of the Star Tomb.
A mere picture was too distant from the information he desired.
Now, it could only prove that this Star Tomb was probably built by someone. It could even be said that it was specially built.
Even Zhang Zhenren from the martial arts sect could find out the name of this Star Tomb and explore some tombs.
As one of the greater guards of the Green Lotus Dynasty, how could he not even dare to explore a small tomb?
With that, Lu Shan led the Mandrill Guards toward the tomb according to the information given to them by the Treant.
It was impossible to figure out the Star Tomb without exploring it.
Fortunately, this cave was quite spacious. The Mandrill Guards were tall and strong, so it did not affect them much. Furthermore, the Mandrill Guards were suitable for mountainous areas, forests, and other areas.
To them, there was a certain increase in strength in the mountains.
When they arrived outside the tomb guided by the Treant, they saw three bronze coffins standing in the tomb. Green water surrounded them.
“Are those coffins?”
When Lu Shan saw the coffins, a trace of seriousness flashed across his eyes.
Although he wasn’t skilled in Feng Shui, after Nipusa arrived in the Green Lotus Dynasty, some basic Feng Shui principles began to spread within the dynasty.
One of them was about setting up a coffin.
The location of the tomb was filled with Yin energy. If Feng Shui was added, it was easy to produce evil things, especially the corpses preserved in the coffins. It was easier to form Yin corpses, which were so-called zombies.
Zombies that were born were in the Transcendent realm, at the very least.
A solemn expression appeared on Lu Shan’s face. The tomb here was even stranger than the one they had explored. Not only did the Treant encounter a mysterious creature, but there were also these three coffins.
“General, look at the words here!”
As the Mandrill Guards entered the tomb, they checked the surroundings and didn’t touch the three coffins under Lu Shan’s orders.
The guards guided Lu Shan to a stone with inscriptions on it.
“The stars have reappeared. Lord Star has returned. Welcome, Lord Star!”
The short words were recorded on the stone tablet. Other than this, there were no other words.
“Lord Star?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble. The three coffins collapsed and smashed into the ground.
“General!”
“Don’t panic!”
Lu Shan’s face was solemn as he stared warily at the three coffins as if he were waiting for something.
Three rays of light suddenly lit up from the coffins, and strange smoke surged from them.
In the end, Lu Shan waited with the Mandrill Guards for a long time. Other than the strange smoke, nothing came out of the coffin.
“General, this…”
The Mandrill Guards could not help but be stunned when they saw this scene.
They did not care about the smoke at all.
“Everyone, check yourselves!”
Lu Shan’s eyes were solemn as he spoke to the Mandrill Guards.
Nothing happened. It seemed as though it was just ordinary smoke, with no unusual effects or consequences.
No one was poisoned, and no one was affected by the smoke.
“General, do you want to check out the coffins?” A Mandrill Guard looked at the opened coffins and said.
“Go and check on them!”
Lu Shan nodded and pointed at a few guards to check on the three coffins that had been opened.
“General, there’s nothing in them!”
Soon, after checking the coffins, they found nothing.
After the smoke dissipated, two identical figures appeared on the spot.
“Two Generals?”
“Impossible!”
At that moment, all the guards’ gazes landed on Lu Shan and another figure. “What are you doing! ”
At that moment, Lu Shan was still a little puzzled as the guards were looking at him.
“General, there’s someone behind you who looks exactly like you!” A guard pointed behind Lu Shan with a vigilant expression.
“Who are you!”
“Who are you!”
Lu Shan turned around and saw an identical version of himself. It was as if he was looking at himself in a mirror as he said at the same time.
“I’m your general!”
“I’m your general!”
The two of them spoke again. Their expressions were even the same. This made the soldiers unable to tell who was real and who was fake.
“How dare you pretend to be me!”
At that moment, the corners of Lu Shan’s mouth curled up slightly. Then, he began to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body. An earthen yellow aura appeared from his body and connected to the other Mandrill Guards like a switch.
“General!”
Sensing an aura of the same origin, many soldiers looked at the fake Lu Shan with vigilance.
“Hehehe…’
A strange laugh came from the fake Lu Shan.
Then, blood started flowing from his seven facial orifices. His whole body exuded an ominous aura, causing the temperature inside the tomb to drop even further.
“Do you think I’ll let you escape?”
A smile appeared on Lu Shan’s face. At some point in time, he had formed a trapping array with the Mandrill Guards. The earthen yellow surroundings formed a barrier that enveloped him.
“General, this should be the monster that killed my Treant!”
At that moment, someone spoke with certainty in his eyes. The feedback the Treant had given him back then was exactly like this.
“I’m curious to see what kind of monster he is!”
Lu Shan snorted coldly. He activated the formation and started to compress it.
Screech!
With a sharp cry, his body turned into smoke, attempting to escape from the imprisonment. However, the formation created by many soldiers was not so easily broken free from.
“So it’s a strange fog!”
Seeing this monster reveal its true form, Lu Shan’s face displayed a look of realization. No wonder it was able to mimic him and even appear to bleed from all seven orifices.
“Wait. Not good!”
At this thought, Lu Shan’s expression suddenly changed. He looked around and realized that the smoke in the tomb had long dissipated.
“General? What’s wrong?”
Seeing the change in Lu Shan’s expression, the soldiers beside him asked.
“That coffin should be filled with living creatures!”
“It looks like they have escaped!”
Lu Shan had a serious expression on his face. Then, he took out a transparent glass bottle.
“Retrieve!”
He drew a symbol on the glass bottle with his finger. Then, he aimed the opening of the glass bottle at the trapped smoke.
“Seal!”
Lu Shan bit his finger and wiped the mouth of the bottle. An earthen yellow symbol appeared on the glass bottle.
Swish!
Swish!
The smoke was trapped in the bottle and struggled, but all that could be heard were sounds of collision—it couldn’t break free at all.
The smoke even transformed into Lu Shan’s appearance one moment and then into something else the next.
“Someone, send this bottle and news about this place back.”
Lu Shan had a serious expression on his face. This smoke creature was too strange. If not for the fact that the guards came from the same source, they would have been easily affected.
Soon, the team of Mandrill Guards left the tomb with a glass bottle, planning to bring it back to the Green Lotus Dynasty.
As for Lu Shan, he planned to continue exploring the tomb with the other soldiers.
After all, the Lord Star described on the stone tablet was not an ordinary existence.
At this moment, because of the sudden appearance of the Star Tomb, even Guo Jia had to change his plan to take down two foreign races at the same time.
The main force would be gathered on the Nether Battlefield. As for the Demon Phoenix race, they could only wait until they dealt with the Star Tomb..
