Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2943: Chapter 2942: General Minister King

Dracula’s face looked somewhat ugly.

Just now, he indeed overlooked this point.

The Dark Devouring Stone was consuming the inner qi within them, albeit very little, so little that he almost ignored it.

But then, although it was little, it couldn’t withstand the prolonged duration.

If too much time passes, and the inner qi within them continues to be devoured, there will inevitably be a moment when it’s entirely consumed.

”Looks like we should get out of here as soon as possible!”

”Why not try and blast a way out!”

Dracula suddenly suggested.

However, Lin Dong shook his head, ”I don’t recommend doing that.”

”No one knows what lies ahead; you can’t see any enemies, nor do we have a target. Attacking directly is merely a waste of inner qi.”

”Moreover, you might even cut off the path ahead. If the path is directly severed, we’ll feel even more trapped here.”

”Then what should we do? Can we retreat and go back?” Dracula suddenly asked.

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, then said, ”Who knows? But, I think this suggestion is good. Since the path ahead is blocked, maybe turning back might bring a surprise.”

Dracula was stunned, thinking it made sense.

Just like the mechanism in the Outer Hall before.

Completely breaking their usual thinking patterns.

Typically, everyone would think the path would lead forward, with the mechanical door hidden within the walls.

Who would’ve thought, it’s not like that at all.

Instead, it’s hidden underground!

The path to the Inner Hall isn’t forward, but downward.

That breaks conventional thinking logic.

Then maybe these stairs are just the same?

It seems they must move ’forward’ to reach the Inner Hall.

But actually, is this ’forward’ truly forward?

Turning around could be the real path?

With this thought, the three of them turned around. Then continued walking!

”Clack clack clack～～～～”

In the dark, there were only the footsteps of the three.

Ye Linglong continued counting the number of steps they climbed.

”One, two, three... nine hundred ninety steps, nine hundred ninety-one, nine hundred ninety-two... nine hundred ninety-nine.”

”Huh, what’s happening? We turned around, logically we should be back. This place should show us the marked stone step we made before, but we didn’t encounter it,” Ye Linglong remarked suspiciously.

Lin Dong’s eyes brightened, then he laughed, ”This shows that even though we turned around, we’re not walking the backward path. It’s possible, it’s the path to the Inner Hall.”

”Let’s go, keep moving!”

Lin Dong felt the idea was plausible.

Dracula also felt hopeful.

The three continued to accelerate.

Ye Linglong kept counting silently.

”One, two, three... nine hundred ninety-five, nine hundred ninety-six... nine hundred ninety-nine!”

This time, Ye Linglong counted another round.

They walked another nine hundred ninety steps.

As they reached here, Chen Qing found the feeling of being watched earlier grew stronger.

”In the dark, is there really something watching us...” Lin Dong thought to himself.

Then he asked Dracula and Ye Linglong, ”Do you feel anything, in the darkness, something is watching us?”

”Especially, when we reached this region?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Linglong still shook her head in confusion. Her strength was too weak, even if something was truly peeping at her in the dark, she couldn’t detect it.

At this moment, Dracula particularly sensed for a moment, he replied, ”I have a faint feeling that indeed in the dark, there seems to be something watching us...”

”Let’s go!” Lin Dong continued to move forward, wanting to verify a guess.

They kept walking for dozens of steps.

Chen Qing suddenly retreated nine steps.

Then he stopped on this step.

As for Dracula and Ye Linglong, they looked at him confusedly, unable to comprehend his actions at this moment.

”Brother Lin, what are you doing?” Dracula asked curiously.

Ye Linglong was also curious, staring at him unblinkingly.

Lin Dong softly replied, ”On this step, I feel the sensation of being watched is the strongest.”

”I suspect, this place is crucial!”

As he spoke, he stayed put.

Dracula and Ye Linglong also stopped beside him.

”I genuinely feel it too, as if being watched by something. Just like... in the darkness, a pair of eyes are looking at us,” Dracula suddenly said.

Lin Dong stood on this stone step, looking into the darkness ahead.

He thought of some descriptions about General’s Body in ancient books.

Rumor has it, General’s Body cultivated to the level of General Minister King, the eyes could evolve into the ’Reincarnation Eye.’

That ’Reincarnation Eye’ contains the power of reincarnation, capable of creating a reincarnation space.

He seemed to grasp the critical point.

Then, he immediately asked Dracula, ”Brother Dracula, tell me, is this General’s Body, a General Minister King?”

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s question, Dracula nodded, ”When I came last time, I examined the mural on the inner hall walls.”

”Judging from what’s depicted in the murals, the owner of this Ancient General’s Tomb is indeed a General Minister King. Far surpassing a normal General’s Body in power. Even ancestor-level human martial artists need several to besiege him to fight.”

”Surely it’s a General Minister King. I might know what’s going on here,” Lin Dong said in a deep voice.

”Oh? Brother Lin, what’s going on? Does our current situation have any connection to this General’s Body being a General Minister King? Could it be, it hasn’t fully died, and used some skills?” Dracula felt a bit horrified.

If this General Minister King weren’t dead, killing them would be a piece of cake.

But if it truly weren’t dead, why didn’t he encounter it last time, and left unharmed?

Moreover, it’s quite unlikely.

Then, although the Ancient General Minister King was formidable, he couldn’t live this long. Even an ancestor-level being can’t live for so many years.

Additionally, previously it was suppressed and killed by nine ancestor-level entities, depicted on the mural. It shouldn’t be fake.

Lin Dong laughed, ”If the Ancient General Minister King weren’t dead, we would’ve been reduced to dust the moment we intruded.”

”A being like that, you intrude on his ’Spirit Cave,’ would it let you off?”

”Then why is this happening? Brother Lin, could you explain further?” Dracula pursued.

Lin Dong didn’t keep them in suspense, but spoke directly, ”It should be related to its eyes!”

”I’ve read an ancient book mentioning the General’s Body, when it cultivates to the power of a General Minister King, its eyes evolve into the Reincarnation Eye.”

”And even after its death, that Reincarnation Eye still exists. If this reincarnation space was created by the Reincarnation Eye, then it all makes sense.”

”We might currently be in the ’reincarnation space’ created by the Reincarnation Eye.”
