Chapter 952: Chapter 952: Act Your Age, Stop Being So Cutesy

How can there be such powerful corpse puppets?

Among these dozen or so corpse puppets, even the weakest has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

And among them, there are actually two corpse puppets at the Half-step Divinity Transformation Stage!

“We work together, or we’ll all die!”

Liu Cheng looked at the corpse puppets charging in their direction and shouted at Isis before rushing to face one of the Half-step Divinity Transformation puppets.

Isis glared fiercely at Liu Cheng. Left with no choice, she also engaged the other Half-step Divinity Transformation corpse puppet.

In an instant, the two groups that were on the brink of conflict just moments ago began working together to resist the ferocious corpse puppets.

Liu Yong cast a glance at the other side, where Yaoyao was seated, healing her injuries. A hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

Pretending it was unintentional, Liu Yong let a corpse puppet at the peak of Nascent Soul stage slip past him.

The momentum of this charging corpse puppet was so strong that it ended up rushing directly toward Yaoyao.

“Liu Yong, do you have any shame left?”

Ryan noticed everything and angrily berated Liu Yong.

“You can’t blame me for this. You all know how strong these corpse puppets are. I was facing two at once—I simply couldn’t handle them!”

Liu Yong spoke with a particularly innocent tone, as if his earlier actions had been out of sheer desperation.

But even a fool could see the deeply hidden venom in Liu Yong’s eyes.

Yaoyao, still recovering from her injuries, saw the corpse puppet charging toward her and could no longer focus on healing. She quickly turned and ran.

There was no other way. In her current state, even if she tried to fight, she wouldn’t necessarily be a match for that corpse puppet.

Besides, she had just seen a familiar figure in another nearby passage.

With a free bodyguard around, why should she act personally?

The corpse puppet chased after Yaoyao into the passage.

The next second, the charging corpse puppet was hurled backward forcefully and landed on the ground, its arm already severed.

Not to mention, even half of one of its legs was gone!

For a moment, Isis, Liu Cheng, and the rest were stunned.

Among everyone present, aside from the two Half-step Divinity Transformation experts, someone could defeat a Nascent Soul peak corpse puppet so easily and swiftly?

While continuing to battle the corpse puppets, everyone cast nervous glances at the passage Yaoyao had disappeared into, but after a long while, not a single figure emerged.

“Uncle, shouldn’t we go out and help Isis and the rest?”

Yaoyao whispered softly to Bai Xiaofan.

“Help with what? Get ourselves killed? Besides, don’t you want to find that scepter anymore?”

Bai Xiaofan knocked on Yaoyao’s forehead, doubting the intelligence of this silly girl.

The two followed the passage Ryan and his group had used earlier, heading in another direction.

When Bai Xiaofan had been recovering his energy just moments ago, he had meticulously studied the half-map again.

He discovered that the route leading there wasn’t limited to just the one currently being used.

“By the way, Uncle, where did you, Little Qing, and Feng Hao go earlier? Why did you suddenly disappear?”

Walking alongside Bai Xiaofan, Yaoyao asked curiously.

Earlier, she had been talking to Bai Xiaofan in the passage when he had suddenly vanished.

Along with him, Feng Hao and Little Qing had disappeared too.

Left with no alternatives, she had walked forward alone for what felt like ages before finally arriving at the previous location, where she had encountered Isis.

Since neither of them had turned on the other yet, they decided to continue forward together, especially since Isis had paid her to be there.

Hearing Yaoyao’s words, Bai Xiaofan furrowed his brows slightly and explained to Yaoyao what had happened on his end during that time.

This made the situation all the more awkward.

From both Bai Xiaofan’s and Yaoyao’s perspectives, it seemed as though everyone else had simply vanished, leaving each of them alone.

What was going on?

An idea flashed through Bai Xiaofan’s mind…

Without dwelling further on it, the two continued forward.

“There’s no path here—what do we do?”

Seeing the stone wall ahead, Yaoyao softly asked.

“This is just a formation. There’s definitely a way through!”

Bai Xiaofan smiled faintly, formed a hand seal, and broke the formation in front of them.

What appeared next was a narrow path leading straight ahead.

“Wow, Uncle, you’re amazing!”

Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled with admiration, and she gushed like a fangirl at Bai Xiaofan.

“Stop sucking up. You specifically brought me along because of my expertise with formations, didn’t you?”

Bai Xiaofan rolled his eyes and lightly knocked Yaoyao on the head.

This little girl—where did she pick up the habit of flattery?

“Hehe, don’t say it like that! It’s embarrassing!”

“Stop acting cute—you’re not a kid anymore!”

“What do you mean not a kid? In human terms, I’m only sixteen or seventeen, even though I’ve lived for over a hundred years!”

“Look at you—you just admitted it. You’re over a hundred years old! Even my grandfather isn’t that old. So stop calling me ‘Uncle’; just the thought of a hundred-year-old granny calling me that gives me goosebumps.”

Bai Xiaofan shook his head repeatedly and gave Yaoyao a disdainful look before continuing forward.

“Hmph! I’ll call you Uncle anyway—Stinky Uncle, Dirty Uncle, Perverted Uncle!”

Yaoyao raced after Bai Xiaofan, grabbed his ear, and shouted loudly.

Whoa!

Suddenly, a low growl came from the side.

Immediately afterward, Bai Xiaofan felt a strong gust of wind rushing toward him.

He threw a punch straight at it.

Bam!

A figure staggered back half a step!

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofan felt a numbing sensation in his right arm—almost as if it was useless!

“Another corpse puppet? Why are there so many corpse puppets in this tomb?”

Yaoyao muttered softly, looking at the corpse puppet that had suddenly emerged from out of nowhere.

“Corpse puppets are the least of our worries. There are far more dangerous things you haven’t encountered yet.”

Bai Xiaofan said faintly and hurled another punch at the corpse puppet.

What he referred to as “far more dangerous things” naturally included that white cat claiming to be the Sacred Mink Princess, who had nearly taken his life!

Yaoyao quickly followed, joining Bai Xiaofan in attacking the newly emerged corpse puppet.

Fortunately, this one was only at the peak of Nascent Soul stage, and the two managed to take it down without much effort.

As they moved forward, Bai Xiaofan noticed that the surrounding stone walls were covered in dark green moss.

“Why is it so damp here?”

Yaoyao also noticed and asked in confusion.

“Not sure—maybe we’re heading deeper underground?”

They walked for a long time, killing over a dozen corpse puppets and breaking through three or four formations along the way.
