"Oh, this is because... I have killed all the sand warriors in the sandstorm."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, the tailor shop fell silent.
Both Nika and Sara opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment.
It took a long time for Nika to react, and she said with a shocked face, "Did you kill the sand warrior too?"
"It doesn't count that I have killed them all, because the total number of sand warriors in the sandstorm is only a little over two hundred." Lu Jing said, "So there should be more than a hundred sand warriors left."
"This is because there are still people guarding the ancient tomb, and not all of the sand warriors will leave the ancient tomb." Nikkar shook her head.
"Is that so..." When Lu Jing heard this, he couldn't help but get excited again.
However, it was not good to go to the tombs of other people's ancestors in front of others, so Lu Jing changed his words, "How should I return that thing?"
"Well, I know where the entrance to that ancient tomb is, and I can go there with you, Master Lu." Nika said without hesitation.
The poor girl had no idea that she was luring the wolf into the house.
Of course, Lu Jing was not someone who only cared about himself and didn't care about the lives of others, so he later asked with concern, "Of the more than 300 sand warriors left by your ancestors, there are only more than 100 left. Will there be any problems? "
"Oh, don't worry about this. My ancestors left those sand warriors to protect the peace of the cemetery and prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in and destroying the formation to release demons. But now it seems that they have also been affected by demons. Fortunately, Mr. Lu, you got rid of them in time, otherwise we don’t know what troubles might occur in the future.”
"If that's the case, then I'll get rid of the remaining hundred as well." Lu Jingda said solemnly.
Nika was flattered, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you, Mr. Lu? After all, you have already saved Malazar Khan, and we really can't ask for more from you."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a little effort." Lu Jing waved his hand.
Hearing this, all the girls in the store, including the female shopkeeper, looked at Lu Jing with even more respect.
Even Sara seemed to be quite shocked. She was still a little unconvinced when she was forced to apologize to Lu Jing together, but now her unwillingness has disappeared.
After a moment, he sighed and said quietly, "Master Lu is indeed extremely righteous. We have been offended many times before."
Then Nika revealed the location of the entrance to the ancient tomb. As Lu Jing had expected, the entrance was indeed within the city and under the castle.
There is an underground tunnel hidden there that leads directly to the mausoleum outside the city.
About four miles deeper, Lu Jing saw another cave, which must have been dug not long ago. He could bypass the sand warriors in the front hall of the tomb and directly reach the back hall where the sarcophagus was placed.
It seems that Tusi passed through this robbery cave before and took away the black heart.
Lu Jing and the three women also followed this road to the sarcophagus in the house. Lu Jing could feel the black heart inside the box beating more and more violently.
However, when the three people pushed open the sarcophagus, they found that there was nothing underneath.
"So all you need to do is put this thing in here, right?" Lu Jing asked, shaking the box.
"Maybe... that's it." Nikkar noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, so she nodded.
However, her tone was obviously hesitant and not very sure.
Lu Jing on the other side has already thrown the box into the coffin. Since this thing can't escape here, it can be stored in it temporarily.
Then Lu Jing said to the three women, "Okay, the things have been sent back. All that remains is to deal with the sand warriors. The battle may be dangerous, so just leave me here alone."
"The whole process is expected to take a while. After I finish cleaning up, in order to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in again, I can also block the corridor."
…………
Although the number of sand warriors in the tomb is not as many as in the sandstorm.
However, due to the terrain, it is much more difficult to solve. Apart from Lu Jing, no one is willing to mess with them.
After all, if you were not careful and someone made dumplings in the tomb, you would be extremely happy and sad.
So what Lu Jing said before was not a lie, but to him, more than a hundred sand warriors were more than a hundred black stones, enough for him to use for three months, so he couldn't let them go in vain. .
Moreover, he has 200 sand warriors to support him, and he is now considered a skilled worker. As long as he slows down a little, the problem will not be too big.
In addition, Lu Jing certainly did not forget about the fire lantern grass and white-eyed silkworm clothes that can be obtained for free on time, and he will receive them every ten days.
As a result, a month later, the other party couldn't bear it any longer, so Fu Zhi came and asked Lu Jing when he planned to come back.
It happened that Lu Jing's cleaning work was coming to an end. After thinking about it, he wrote the words "tomorrow morning".
Then he replied to Lu Jing with a piece of talisman, explaining in detail how to return, and then calmness returned.
But Lu Jing didn't know that the academy had already exploded because of his stay in the trial realm for more than a month.
From professors to students, everyone was guessing why he stayed there for so long.
After all, no one has ever been able to stay in the trial realm for so long before.
Coupled with the change of the Tianji Ranking, his identity as a first-class expert was exposed, and he became more and more eye-catching.
However, Lu Jing, who was the center of attention, was still fighting in the ancient tomb.
After killing the last sand warrior, Lu Jing suddenly felt a slight tremor under his feet, and then heard the sound of a mechanism starting from where the sarcophagus was stored in the back hall.
When he got there, he saw that the sarcophagus originally placed in the center had been moved about two steps to the right.
A stone slab pressed underneath was exposed.
There was a painting engraved on the stone slab, and the painting was clearly a black heart, and on the heart was a stone blade that was familiar to Lu Jing.
In fact, during this period of time, in addition to dealing with the sand warriors in the front hall, Lu Jing had also been studying how to use the black heart to help him consume his internal energy.
However, what disappoints Lu Jing is that he has tried many methods, but he has not been able to absorb even a shred of cold and rotten energy from the heart.
And every time Lu Jing held up the heart, he would have a strong desire to swallow the black heart in one gulp, as if it was not a heart that exuded a wet and rotten odor. It's like a piece of chocolate cake.
However, with Tusi's experience, Lu Jing still restrained the impulse in his heart, but he also vaguely knew that his idea of absorbing the cold and rotten air from this heart would most likely fail.
Therefore, after seeing this stone carving, Lu Jing hesitated and took out the stone blade he got from the leader of the sand warriors.
According to the description on the stone carving, pierce the stone blade into the black heart little by little.
When it first penetrated, Lu Jing could feel the heart trembling crazily, and at the same time, his desire to swallow the heart became stronger.
However, as the stone blade continued to pierce, the heart gradually withered, until finally... with reluctance and relief, it finally stopped beating.
Black blood flowed down Lu Jing's hands onto the stone slab on the ground, and then another densely packed small text appeared on the stone slab, accompanied by patterns that looked like exercise routes.
