After listening to my words of affirmation, the two skeletons seemed to have untied their knots in their hearts, and their tone became a little more relaxed. Then they heard Tai Li ask: "Hunter, you just said, before the war,
There is already a gap in the ground, right?”
"Yes." I said bravely.
Hearing this, Kaku and Tai Li looked at each other, but their expressions could not be seen. After a long while, they saw Tai Li murmuring: "No wonder so many companions are lost. It turns out that the infiltration of demons has been so serious."
Already..."
"Senior, what do you mean when you say lost?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Their minds have been influenced by demons. They have forgotten their mission and only want to leave the Holy Tomb. Many of their companions have already left, and not even one of them is still here. The ones who are left are basically very powerful.
, can resist the erosion of demons, but this is not a way, if we continue like this we will all follow in their footsteps." At this point, Tai Li glanced at Kaku.
Seeing this, the two will-o'-the-wisps in Kaku's pupils trembled, and his voice was hoarse: "Tai Li, they all say that everyone has been corrupted, but if there is no resentment in their hearts, how can they be so easily affected?"
"Kaku, no matter if you have any resentment or not, if you continue to think like this, sooner or later you will become an unconscious puppet, let alone revive." Tai Li said solemnly.
Hearing this, Kaku suddenly fell silent. After a while, he nodded and said, "I will."
For a moment, the two skeleton brothers were silent. Only four will-o'-wisps were floating in the air, which looked extremely strange. Seeing this, I wanted to find a topic to break the damn silence, but at this moment, Tai Li
He changed the topic and asked: "Hunter, please tell me what is going on outside now. I think your strength is quite good. Does this mean that the problem of the depletion of external source energy has been solved?"
"Yes." I nodded and answered truthfully: "To be honest with you two seniors, the source energy outside is enough for now, but in terms of cultivation, the strongest one is currently in the late three-star stage.
.”
Hearing this, Kaku and Tai Li looked at each other. The four will-o'-the-wisps trembled violently, which seemed to indicate the unrest in their hearts. Then they heard Kaku's tone of voice was a bit shocked: "Is he so weak?"
"..." I was speechless.
Seeing my embarrassment, Tai Li said something on my behalf: "Kaku, don't forget, we used up all the Origin Qi back then, and future generations can be said to be bearing the consequences we brought. Now we can
It’s already pretty good to be in the late three-star state.”
"That's true..." Kaku nodded.
I was about to say something when I saw a lot of noises suddenly coming from nearby graves. Then I felt numb and saw skeletons crawling out of many graves.
Seeing this scene, I almost turned around and ran away. Thanks to my good concentration, I forcibly suppressed my urge to turn around and run away. After all, Kaku and Taili were obviously very calm at the moment. Taili even said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that even my old friends couldn't stay any longer. It seems that they are very interested in the situation outside."
"Tai Li, Kaku, who is he?"
"He is dressed so strangely that he must be someone from the outside world."
"You old guys, are you also deaf? Do you really think you can't hear what this guy said just now?"
"It's rare to see so many old friends. It hasn't been so lively for decades, right? How are you doing in the grave lately?"
"I'm doing okay. I didn't expect you to be alive. I thought you old guys were already dead!"
A group of skulls that had lived for thousands of years crawled out of the graves and finally came to my side, just like a group of old men and women chatting around me, but this scene was so eerie no matter how you look at it.
Just imagine, how does it feel to have a group of skulls with eyes full of will-o'-the-wisps surrounding you in a cemetery? I am experiencing such a wonderful experience right now, and although it is overwhelming, I feel quite calm, after all, I have become accustomed to it.
.
More and more skulls came up, making this desolate cemetery more lively. At this time, Tai Li coughed lightly and said: "Old guys, can you stop arguing and let the descendants
Go on, if you have anything to say, you can tell it in the grave!"
Tai Li was quite good at speaking. The many skeletons suddenly became quiet and looked at me one after another. The atmosphere suddenly became weird. Looking at the penetrating gazes, I said bravely: "Uh,
In fact, the origin energy of the outside world has only been restored for about forty or fifty years."
"The exhausted source has been restored. What's the reason?" a skeleton asked.
I didn't know where to explain this, so I replied: "The Origin Qi is brought from other places, anyway... Now there is Origin Qi in the outside world, and the current highest combat power is a late three-star strong man.
There are also six mid-three-stars and more than a hundred early three-stars."
"Well, if it only took four to fifty years to recover, that would be pretty good." Kaku nodded.
Tai Li was thoughtful.
"Hunter, after so many years, have new demons appeared in the outside world?" someone asked.
Hearing this, I shook my head first and said: "To be honest with you seniors, it has never appeared for more than five thousand years, but... it has appeared in recent years, and we are actively responding to it."
At this time, many skeletons suddenly became excited. One of the skeletons punched the ground and said angrily: "Damn it, those terrible monsters have actually appeared again."
"Will what happened back then happen again?"
"It is absolutely impossible to cope with the current external forces. In a few years, we will repeat the same mistakes and even suffer catastrophe."
"Wow! Many of the saints from back then have never been here since they left. Now that the world has suffered such a catastrophe, do they still have to treat it as invisible?"
"Be careful!"
"Humph, if you don't tell the truth, I'm already a withered skeleton, and I will die if I die!"
Seeing everyone in a commotion, I didn't know what to say, but I felt extremely heavy. In the past, we all made random guesses on our own. Although in the end we still believed that the danger of resentful spirits was around the corner, at least we could deceive ourselves and others.
But now a group of "experts" who have experienced the plague of resentful spirits say that this incident is equivalent to the end. The plague of resentful spirits will inevitably break out in the future, and we will also face the threat of resentful spirits from the ancient battlefield.
Double pressure.
Where should the future go?
But at this moment, Tai Li suddenly said to everyone: "Okay, everyone, is it time to quarrel? We should solve the problem instead of arguing. When will this end?"
"Tai Li, what do you think should be done?" all the skeletons said in unison.
"Don't forget, everyone, Xia Zu is still guarding the seal. Why are you panicking with Xia Zu here?" Tai Li said solemnly: "With Xia Zu here, those resentful spirits can't cause any trouble."
After Tai Li mentioned Xia Zu's name, many skeletons suddenly became quieter. At this moment, I could feel their trust and even respect for Xia Zu, which even overshadowed their respect for those saints.
That Xia ancestor actually had such prestige in the eyes of the ancient ancestors?
"Xiazu, we believe it." Someone said sincerely. After this person said this, many skeletons nodded. However, in addition to agreement, some people still expressed doubts. Kaku said worriedly: "Too
Li, of course we trust Xia Zu, but this matter cannot be solved by Xia Zu alone. Not to mention that the increasingly rampant demons are making more and more noise, how can the descendants of the outside world deal with the new demons?
?”
Kaku's worries are not unreasonable. The evil spirits from the outside world are becoming more and more serious, and I'm afraid there will be a day when they can't stop them. This is not only Kaku's worry, but also my worry.
Hearing this, Tai Li was silent for a long time. After a while, his eyes flashed and he said.
