There is an indescribable feeling in walking in a tomb surrounded by skeletons.
Fortunately, Taili and other ancestors did not send me to the temple without saying a word. Instead, they talked to me a lot on the way. Perhaps it was because they had not communicated with outsiders for a long time, and each of them seemed very special.
Talkative.
However, as the team of companions grew stronger and stronger, I could no longer reply, because there were at least a hundred skeletons joining the team along the way. They must have been too busy to reply one by one, so I finally chose to listen quietly.
They talk.
"Hey, I have lived for thousands of years and have forgotten many things, but Jina in the tribe is really picturesque. I still remember her appearance. Unfortunately, she later married someone else..."
"Young man, you don't know something. When I was your age, I was already a three-star powerhouse, so you still have to work hard and remember not to be complacent."
"Fuck you, give me back three stars. You won't even have three stars when you die."
"You, an old man, dare to expose my shortcomings. Could it be that you are tired of living?"
"Humph, are you afraid?"
I still find it interesting to listen to their chat, but what I am more concerned about is some more valuable information, such as the situation of the Holy Tomb in recent years.
"I don't know exactly how long it has been, but the Holy Tomb has been invaded by demons for a long time. Many companions have been affected. In the end, they basically left on their own. There are only ten people left in the Holy Tomb. As you can see
The owners of those tombs that have no tombstones have left, otherwise the place would not be so desolate now." Tai Li sighed.
Hearing this, I glanced at the group of skeletons huffing and puffing around me, and thought to myself that there are a lot of people now. I really don’t know what the Holy Tomb would have been like before. How about thousands of dead souls?
Although it is a dead soul, it is also a very powerful force. If this power can be absorbed, the power of human beings will be greatly improved. However, it is obviously not easy to do this. It not only requires their consent.
, the most critical point is that they cannot leave the Holy Tomb.
Therefore, in order to absorb them, one prerequisite is to solve the problem of their inability to leave the Holy Tomb. It is not known whether the legendary Xia Ancestor can do this.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Kaku say worriedly: "I don't know what happened to the gravekeeper. She absorbed so many dead souls at the same time. I'm really worried that one day she won't be able to bear it."
"What's going on, gravekeeper...what's wrong, sir?" I asked hurriedly.
Hearing this, Kaku sighed first and then replied: "Since the Holy Tomb was eroded by demons, more and more companions have been affected and want to leave the Holy Tomb, which has restricted them for thousands of years.
I won’t hesitate to leave this place, even if my body or soul is destroyed.”
"The gravekeeper took pity on them and didn't want them to dissipate like this. At first, he used his own power to eliminate the evil energy (in ancient terms, the same as dark energy) that had eroded into their souls, but later because of the erosion, it became more and more serious.
, the number of people is increasing, and the gravekeeper can't solve it. In the end, he can only tie their souls to himself, and live and die together..."
Hearing this, I looked shocked and said: "With so many consciousnesses coexisting in one body, wouldn't that affect one's own spirit? What's more, these dead souls themselves have been corroded by demonic energy. Absorbing so many souls is likely to
As a result, the spirit of the gravekeeper himself was also affected!"
"Who says it's not?" Tai Li also smiled bitterly and said: "This is also one of the reasons why we decided to let outside forces intervene, because we are worried that the gravekeeper will also be eroded, and everything will be over."
My heart suddenly sank.
At this time, Tai Li added: "But don't worry, the strength of Lord Gravekeeper is at the peak of the early three-star stage, and he is not so easily corroded. After all, the corroded souls are basically those below the late stage of two-star stage. Unlike Lord Gravekeeper,
It’s really not worth mentioning in comparison.”
"That's it..."
I nodded slightly, but I was worried in my heart. If something happened to the tomb guard, it would be a big problem, because I seriously doubted that the tomb guard they called was the terrifying existence that killed the three-star man in black.
If the tomb guard goes crazy and refuses to recognize his relatives, then we will be in danger. It will be fine if he is not interested in us, but if he really has murderous intentions towards us, then all the strong people who come in will die.
It seems that my progress must be faster.
Thinking of this, I took a step forward.
Tai Li said that the Holy Tomb is prohibited from flying because if external forces enter, it is very likely to be attacked by the Holy Tomb, and this is something that my little two-star mid-level cannot resist at all.
After climbing over mountains and ridges along the way and passing several mountain ranges, our group came to a huge basin. When we got here, Taili said to me solemnly: "The temple is down below."
"Where?"
Looking at the endless gray basin below, I had a question mark on my face. I couldn't see anything clearly below. Could this temple be in this black mist?
"Go straight ahead along the black mist, and you will see the temple, which is also where the tombkeeper sleeps." Tai Li explained: "Don't worry, don't worry about not finding it, we will take you in."
"Sorry for bothering you, Senior Tai Li." I said gratefully.
At this time, many skeletons hesitated for a moment and said to Tai Li: "Tai Li, I will not go with you. There is something wrong with this black energy. I'm afraid we will be eroded..."
"Okay." Tai Li had no choice but to nod, and then said to everyone: "If you feel that you may not be able to survive this dark atmosphere, please go back. I will escort you to the temple before you die."
Hearing this, the team that was traveling together was suddenly reduced by half, and all the souls of the late two-star late stage remained behind. Even some late two-star dead souls, including Kaku, also chose to stay.
The reason for their choice is very simple, because the black mist was obviously formed by dark air, so they would stay, otherwise they would inevitably be affected. At this moment, I can also feel an extremely strong dark air wave coming from below.
came.
"Little friend, let's go." Tai Li said to me.
Next, escorted by Tai Li and a dozen late-star and peak-two-star souls, I headed towards the center of the basin. When I reached the depths of the black air, I felt some whispers coming from my ears.
.
"Ye Yan...Ye Yan...I hate it so much."
"Ye Yan, you killed me, don't you have the slightest remorse?"
"Hey, you are all going to die, you won't live long..."
These whispers became louder and louder, and it was not until later that I heard clearly that these voices were ringing in my mind, and they were basically familiar to me. They were from dead classmates.
Sure enough, this black energy can affect people's thinking.
However, this level of influence was much lighter than the lust spirit phantoms I met at the beginning. I was not affected by them at all. I just assumed that the sounds in my mind were farts. Later, the sounds became nothing more than farts.
It gradually dispersed, maybe because I realized that I don’t want to do this.
But although I am not worried that I will be affected, I am worried that Tai Li and others will be affected.
Although they may be stronger than me, it's hard to say when you encounter this kind of thing. To put it bluntly, this kind of mental erosion is purely based on whether you have mental loopholes. The bigger the mental loopholes, the easier it is to be corroded.
Revenant souls like Kaku have not been able to stay here freely for thousands of years, so their hearts may have been shaken for a long time. In addition, this impact is long-term, so it is not surprising that Kaku is affected.
And more importantly, although these dead souls are strong, one reason is actually that their souls have some power of the Holy Lord. Another reason is that their souls are strong, which does not mean that their heavenly souls, that is, spiritual souls, are strong.
.
The souls of some deceased souls may be mainly composed of life souls and earth souls, while the heavenly souls have been severely traumatized. The heavenly souls are the most important line of defense against spiritual erosion. Once the heavenly souls are weak, they are easily eroded.
Fortunately, Tai Li and others are determined people, and there has been little change along the way.
After walking forward for about two kilometers, the black air gradually dissipated, and a magnificent hall appeared in front of us. At the end of the hall, a golden barrier surrounded the entire Holy Tomb. It was precisely because of the golden barrier that
It's right there, so the darkness is very light.
After seeing the main hall, Tai Li stopped and said, "We're here."
