After all, the Fox Spirit has a criminal record!
"The most crucial thing is, if the Fox Spirit truly regained her Primordial Qi and has the ability to use Divine Techniques, what is the point of persisting in excavating the ancient tomb?"
He was eager to dig the tomb just to get inside and kill the Fox Spirit!
’But now I have thought of a plan. If I can deceive the Fox Spirit’s physical body to come here...’
"Collaborating with you, what if you deliberately trick me, using some little means, and get me stuck in the bronze door? I wouldn’t even know how I died then," Zhang Chen said, feigning hesitation, looking at the Fox Spirit.
Upon hearing this, the Fox Spirit became furious, "Young man, mind your manners. Do you think I’m as insidious and shameless as you? Besides, we still have to work together. I need to use you to control a strange thing in the tomb, how could I harm you? If you don’t trust me, feel free to try and open the bronze door yourself. I’d like to see how you plan to open that door weighing tens of thousands of pounds."
"Moreover, don’t think you can change direction and dig a tunnel from another spot to enter the tomb. Let me be blunt with you, the entire tomb is encased in rock, dozens to hundreds of meters thick. If you have the ability to pierce through hundreds of meters of bluestone, then pretend I didn’t say anything," the Fox Spirit’s voice is filled with smugness, seeming to have Zhang Chen under control.
Zhang Chen stood in front of the tomb, looking at the bronze door, then moved the light closer to inspect the hole the fox came in and out of, indeed the whole hole was fifty centimeters thick, the Fox Spirit was not lying.
"With the bronze door being so heavy, what about the other places?" Countless ideas flickered in Zhang Chen’s mind.
He entertained the idea of excavating the entire bronze door to see its original form, perhaps finding a way to open it, but after estimating the thickness of the bronze door, he completely abandoned the idea. The door is at least two meters high and with its thickness estimated, it must weigh several thousand pounds, absolutely impossible for him to move.
"If I enter the tomb, perhaps I can find the mechanism to open the bronze door, even if the Fox Spirit truly means to harm me, trapping me inside, I have a chance to activate the mechanism to escape," Zhang Chen thought to himself.
"How about it? Collaborate? If not, let’s forget it. I don’t rely on you," the Fox Immortal Maiden’s voice is full of triumph, starting to put on airs.
Upon hearing the Fox Spirit’s words, Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow, "You Fox Spirit are too cunning. If you scheme against me halfway, getting me stuck within the bronze door, or trapped in bluestone, won’t I be dead?"
The Fox Spirit’s words ceased, her eyes fixed on Zhang Chen, "How did you think of such a sinister method? I hadn’t thought of it before."
Speaking of which, the Fox Spirit said, not in a good mood, "You underestimate me way too much. Even if I want to kill you, I have to obtain the Creation inside the tomb first and then kill you. I won’t hide it from you now, there’s a Dragon Soul inside the tomb, if I can get it, not only can I heal my injuries, but I can directly achieve the Manifestation of Divinity. My physical body was heavily damaged by you, only by breaking through to Manifestation can I repair it. I won’t do something that harms both sides."
Zhang Chen heard these words, his eyes studying the Fox Spirit, seemingly discerning the truth in her words.
"You have no choice now, apart from trusting me, there’s no second path for you to take," the Fox Spirit stood inside the tomb, locking eyes with Zhang Chen, her voice full of certainty, "There’s a dragon buried here, along with the soul of a dragon, I don’t believe you’re not tempted."
Zhang Chen’s eyes focused on the Fox Spirit, after a moment of staring at each other, Zhang Chen finally said, "Give me your physical body, keep it in my custody, I’ll use Golden Light to set a restriction on your body, if you dare to play tricks, I’ll make sure your soul can never return to your body."
He seemed to have no other option but to cooperate with the Fox Spirit now.
The Fox Spirit’s expression changed, about to retort when Zhang Chen said, "I’ll return your physical body to you after entering the tomb! If you have no tricks in mind, you shouldn’t oppose my suggestion."
Hearing this, the Fox Spirit looked deeply at Zhang Chen before saying, not in a good mood, "You’ve got guts! But we’re agreed, after entering the tomb, you must return my physical body, or let’s perish together."
"Of course, I, Zhang Chen, never go back on my word," Zhang Chen replied.
The Fox Spirit emerged from the hole, her form growing larger, becoming as tall as Zhang Chen’s shoulder, carrying her own body in her hands, bringing it before Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen looked at the flesh and blood of the whole fox body, wanting to use Golden Light to invade the Fox Spirit’s physical body, but the body still instinctively breathed, turning Zhang Chen’s Golden Light into nothingness.
"Indeed, even in Soul Emergence, it still belongs to the category of being alive, unable to support Golden Light," Zhang Chen seeing this directly took off his clothes, after empowering with Golden Light, he wrapped the Fox Spirit’s body tight, holding it firmly in his arms.
"Is it okay now?" the Fox Spirit’s eyes fixed on Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen nodded at the words, then slender hands reached out, grabbing Zhang Chen’s shoulder, complaining not in a good mood, "I’ve never seen you this clever before."
"But I have to tell you, although we’ve reached an agreement now, if you dare to mess with me, my Golden Light isn’t just for show. At a mere arm’s distance, I will use Golden Light to scatter your soul completely. I must have your body buried with me!" Zhang Chen’s voice is full of threats.
The Fox Spirit glanced at Zhang Chen, ignoring his threats, and in the next moment, her figure flashed, already taking Zhang Chen along and disappearing from the spot.
