Chapter 388 Aboriginal Tomb
While Ye Liuyun and others were concentrating on practicing, the patriarch of the Hassan clan came directly to Ye Liuyun.
"Thank you, friend Ye, for helping us integrate the human race in the secret area. It is safer for us to move here." The patriarch of the Hassan tribe thanked Ye Liuyun seriously.
Ye Liuyun's practice was interrupted, but he was too embarrassed to treat the clan leader coldly, so he had to deal with him politely.
The clan leader also knew that he had disturbed Ye Liuyun's practice, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry for disturbing my friend Ye's practice. In order to express our gratitude, there is one thing we want to tell you, which may be of some help to you."
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun also became curious: "Head of the clan, feel free to speak frankly."
Then, the patriarch slowly said: "We have a tomb of our ancestors here. There is a pagoda in the tomb that can enter and exit this secret realm. However, nearly a hundred years ago, a strange insect appeared in the tomb, eating people. No one from us has ever gone in, and even for burial, we have to build another cemetery, separate from our ancestors.”
"The clan leader wants me to help you take out the pagoda?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"That's not necessary. Because no one who has used that tower has ever come back. I have no interest in that tower either. I just want to ask, if you are interested in that tower, you can take it away. , help us clean up the bugs by the way, so that we can be buried together with our ancestors in the future."
"What other functions does that pagoda have?" Ye Liuyun wanted to know more comprehensively.
But the clan leader didn't know the other information. Ye Liuyun went out and asked other people. Even the people of the Jiamuni tribe knew about this legend, but they didn't know the details.
Ye Liuyun was a little hesitant, not sure if it was worth the risk for a tower. But then I thought, since I'm here, I might as well go take a look, maybe I'll find something else.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun resolutely stopped practicing and rushed towards the direction of the tomb provided by the clan leader.
The tomb is in the northwest corner of the entire secret realm, and the tall tombstone can be seen from a distance. The entire cemetery is underground and made of huge rocks. But there were no ferocious beasts around, and the entire cemetery was quiet without a sound. It can be seen that there is indeed something dangerous here.
Ye Liuyun opened his golden eyes and searched carefully. He didn't find any danger outside, so he directly followed the method taught to him by the clan leader and opened the mechanism of the underground tomb.
The ground cracked and a stone door appeared. As the stone door opened, a putrid smell came.
"Eh? Why is there such a strong smell of decay?" Ye Liuyun first scanned the situation in the tomb with his spiritual consciousness, but found nothing strange. There are tombs sealed by huge rocks on all sides. They are usually well maintained and do not have such a strong smell.
Ye Liuyun had never smelled such a strong smell before in Ten Thousand Burial Mound.
"It seems there is something weird here!"
He walked slowly along the stone steps into the tomb. It was pitch dark in the tomb, but it didn't delay his golden eyes, and he could see everything clearly.
Because the local indigenous people are tall, the corridor in the tomb is also very spacious. Each stone brick building the tomb is half a person tall.
Not far away, Ye Liuyun unexpectedly saw a skeleton, with only bones and clothes left on the body. And judging by the condition of his clothing, this person must have died not long ago. Moreover, the size of the skeleton is the same as that of a normal person, not like an indigenous person.
"Is he from the alliance?" Ye Liuyun immediately checked the man's storage ring and found the alliance's identity token.
"Sure enough, it seems that someone from the Alliance came here not long ago. But what was the cause of death?"
Judging from the appearance of the skeleton, there were no signs of injury. But there was no flesh and blood left on the skull.
Ye Liuyun was thinking when he suddenly felt that the ground in the distance was shaking. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was not the ground that was shaking, but a layer of small insects on the ground that were crawling toward him.
"Corpse-eating bug!" Ye Liuyun looked carefully with his golden eyes and was shocked. I didn’t expect that there was such a thing in this secret realm. This kind of bug is also black and gray, very close to the color of rocks.
One bug was no bigger than a fingernail, had two protruding front teeth used to cut through the skin of the corpse, and had a big belly. This kind of bug usually does not attack living creatures. It bites into corpses and then burrows into them to eat the flesh and blood.
However, these swarms of corpse-eating bugs are now attacking living creatures, and they seem to be ruling the roost here. The sight of swarms of corpse-eating bugs will make one's scalp numb. Even a local person can be eaten clean by these bugs in an instant.
Ye Liuyun did not dare to be careless and immediately activated his true energy to protect his body, wrapping his whole body with the Golden Crow Holy Fire.
"It seems that this thing is the culprit. Alliance members cannot use their true energy to defend against these bugs."
Ye Liuyun felt a lot more relieved when he thought of this.
These corpse-eating insects have no intelligence either. After the one that rushed over first was burned by Ye Liuyun's Golden Crow Holy Fire, the corpse-eating insects behind him continued to crawl towards him.
Gradually, the walls on all sides were covered with corpse-eating insects. Ye Liuyun came from all directions.
Ye Liuyun didn't care, but instead accelerated his progress. His true energy is abundant, and if he only uses it to defend against this kind of insect, it will not be exhausted for a month or two.
These bugs can't stop him from moving forward at all. Before they even got close to the Golden Crow Holy Fire, they were already burned by the temperature of the flame. Above Ye Liuyun's head, corpse-eating insects continued to fall from above.
Ye Liuyun's consciousness discovered that these corpse-eating insects crawled out of various coffins in the tomb.
"Why are there so many? What do they usually eat?" Ye Liuyun had doubts in his heart and kept walking until he finally came to a coffin. The lid of the coffin has been opened, and inside are some old-looking skeletons, all covered with corpse-eating insects.
At this time, there were more and more corpse-eating insects around Ye Liuyun. These corpse-eating bugs slowly gathered together, and the four at the head and tail bit together, forming a corpse-eating bug larger than Ye Liuyun, and rushed towards Ye Liuyun.
"Huh? Is this thing controlled by someone?" Ye Liuyun reacted immediately. The corpse-eating insects here are not simple. Not only will it actively attack living creatures, but it is also intelligent, otherwise it would not have thought of forming a larger form to fight against people. I just don’t know what kind of creature controls these corpse-eating insects.
For Ye Liuyun, these corpse-eating insects cannot threaten him even if they gather together. This thing has no level of cultivation, and its quantity and size alone cannot break his body-protecting essence.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun's Golden Crow Holy Fire was so powerful that even if these corpse-eating insects were combined into a larger size, they would not be able to get close to him.
Ye Liuyun was about to continue walking inside when suddenly, the skeleton in the coffin suddenly stood up.
Ye Liuyun was startled, and after taking a closer look, he realized that it was not a zombie. It's still the corpse-eating bugs that are causing trouble. This insect propped up this huge skeleton through its numbers. Flesh, flesh, bone connections, etc. are all filled with corpse-eating insects. It's just that this kind of skeleton still has no realm, but its strength and sturdiness are stronger than the big bugs that are simply composed of corpse-eating bugs.
