Mighty Lord Chapter 290 - 290 265

290: 265 290: 265 Only after the three corpse demons were dealt with, did the bear cub, who had been hiding in the shadows, cheekily erge.

“You really did in this ti.” After catching sight of the bear cub’s attempt to flee, Zhou Tian grabbed it and said, “But seeing that you helped divert the corpse demon, let’s call it even and I won’t hit you.” With that, he cradled the bear cub in his arms and headed back to the stone chamber where the corpse demons had been.

Previously, due to the threat of the three corpse demons, Zhou Tian ran away as soon as he saw them.

Now back in the stone chamber, with no imdiate crisis at hand, he had the opportunity to take a good look at the room.

“This is…”

He hadn’t noticed before, but now Zhou Tian observed that besides the stone coffins housing the three corpse demons, there were many remnants of bones near them.

More importantly, he was surprised to find another passage inside the stone chamber, which he had originally thought to be the very core of the mausoleum.

Zhou Tian knew that in order to find the spatial passage, he would have to go deeper, but before that, he took a good look at those corpses.

Obviously, those corpses must have belonged to living beings who had tried to raid the tomb before.

However, according to Zhou Tian’s estimation, the monsters and NPCs of this epoch would ‘respawn’ upon death.

Those that could leave bones behind must be powerful individuals from the previous epoch.

Having reached this conclusion, Zhou Tian approached the piles of bones.

Even if they had used so tricks, those living beings must have had formidable abilities to reach this place before dying.

And creatures with such abilities, even if they were not the absolute strongest in the previous epoch, certainly had the potential to dominate a region.

The items they carried must have been highly sought after!

From this perspective, Zhou Tian felt like he had stumbled upon a windfall.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tian’s windfall turned out to be nothing.

Over the course of many long years, those bones and the items they had once carried had completely deteriorated.

Zhou Tian rely touched the bones and they, along with their items, imdiately crumbled to dust.

Therefore, regardless of what treasures they had brought with them, they now held no value at all.

“Ah, what a pity.” Zhou Tian sighed, either disappointnt at not acquiring any treasures or pity for treasures lost to the ravages of ti, and then continued deeper into the mausoleum holding the bear cub.

Having learned his lesson, Zhou Tian was not going to rely solely on the perceptual abilities of the bear cub any longer.

After all, it was a beast, not a deity, so its perceptual abilities had limitations.

The bear cub hadn’t picked up the existence of the three corpse demons, so it wasn’t impossible that it might fail to detect other dangers.

Therefore, Zhou Tian only considered the bear cub’s perceptual ability as a reference.

While taking into account the bear cub’s opinion, he also remained cautious at all tis.

The passage Zhou Tian was currently traversing was actually a long underground passage.

Its length was such that even after walking for several hours, he still hadn’t reached the end.

However, as he got closer to every part of the passage, he couldn’t help but show a smile.

Because, throughout his journey, he had finally sensed it.

The space passage, which until now had remained elusive, was likely at the end of the current passage.

Considering that he was now close to exiting this frustrating ancient ruins space, Zhou Tian was understandably ecstatic.

Yet in his extre happiness, Zhou Tian seed to have forgotten sothing.

If all this was arranged by the owner of this mausoleum, then the location of the spatial passage should be the safest place in these ruins.

As a result, the strongest combat power in this mausoleum should be near the spatial passage.

Approaching the spatial passage allowed Zhou Tian the chance to exit these ruins, but it also ant facing formidable threats.

Unfortunately, in his excitent to leave the ruins, Zhou Tian initially disregarded the possibility of encountering threats.

As he eagerly rushed into the part of the passage, his expression suddenly changed.

Just like the stone chamber above, the underground stone chamber also contained a stone coffin.

However, unlike the three above, there was only one here.

Yet, it was this single coffin that soured Zhou Tian’s expression imdiately.

Not for any other reason, but the fact that upon reaching the stone chamber, Zhou Tian felt the aura emanating from the coffin.

This aura belonged to a being of pope-level strength.

Moreover, the strength of the owner of this coffin far exceeded that of the Blood Moon Lord or any other pope-level existence Zhou Tian had encountered before.

He understood instantly that he wasn’t a match for the entity resting inside the coffin.

Upon entering the stone chamber, Zhou Tian imdiately concealed his own aura.
