Chapter 286 Tomb of the Phantom Crow
Stepping into the entrance of the tomb, the surroundings were pitch black.
Ahead was a staircase extending downward, with no end in sight. Fitz's eyes were solemn as he took out a candle from his arms.
"Follow my pace." Fitz said.
Then, he stepped onto the stairs extending downwards from the tomb, followed closely by Enzo, and the two began to move towards the depths of the Tomb of the Phantom Crow.
"756, 757, 758..."
Enzo said nothing and silently followed Fitz's footsteps, but in his mind he was counting the steps he had taken. The front was still pitch black, and there were only stairs extending under his feet, as if there was no end.
At this time, a murmur suddenly came from my ears.
Like the whispers of the evil undead, or the temptation of the devil in the abyss, Enzo was briefly absent-minded for a second, but returned to normal the next moment.
Ouch!
A beast-like roar sounded in vain, as if coming from behind. Enzo subconsciously wanted to turn his head, but suddenly heard Fitz's warning.
"Do not look back!"
Ahead, Fitz stopped and gave a low drink. Then a trace of illusory flame flashed in his eyes, and the candle held in his palm lit up.
The flickering firelight dispelled the darkness in the surrounding area, as if forming a layer of protection, blocking out all the weird sounds that kept coming.
"Keep walking." Fitz said calmly.
The two continued to move forward. Under the protection of the candlelight, the journey was calm. When Enzo counted the 9999th step in his mind, a dim pillar of light finally appeared in front of him, and the candle in Fitz's hand also burned for three points. one.
"Here we are!" Fitz blew out the candle in his palm, looked forward, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face, and then took steps again.
Enzo followed his footsteps and came to the deepest part of the Tomb of the Phantom Crow.
Ahead is a quiet space.
A huge broken stone tablet stood in the central area, and the light projected from above formed a hexagonal dark pillar of light.
All around, illusory crows, like ghosts, kept wandering beside the broken monument.
"Is this the Tomb of the Phantom Crow? The place where the "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" meditation method is practiced?" Enzo asked.
Fitz nodded, his expression indifferent.
"Master Dean...isn't he here?" Enzo asked tentatively.
"Of course not." Fitz raised his eyebrows and explained patiently, "After the coordinate battle, the three deans decided to use the coordinates in their hands to launch an expedition as soon as possible, so for a long time in the future, Everyone will be busy with the expedition!"
"Expedition? What is that?" Enzo asked doubtfully.
"You will have a chance to learn about the expedition in the future. For now, let's consider the matter of "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits."" Fitz shook his head and said softly, "You can obtain the coordinates for the academy and get a training " "Fantasy Crow Thousand Spirits" opportunity, according to Dean Froslai's order, I will be responsible for explaining to you the precautions for practicing "Fantasy Crow Thousand Spirits"."
Enzo's heart trembled, and his face became serious.
"The meditation method of "Phantom Crows" is the top secret of [Phantom Crows]. Although you win the coordinates for the academy, you can get a training opportunity!" Fitz paused and said in a deep voice, "But before everything begins , you must swear under the gaze of the Eye of Judgment not to disclose any information about the meditation method of "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" to anyone!"
"I understand." Enzo nodded heavily.
"Well, let's make the oath!" Fitz's eyes flashed, his lips trembled, and in the area above the two of them, a projection of the Eye of Judgment slowly appeared.
"In my name, Enzo hereby makes an oath. From the moment he steps into the Tomb of the Phantom Crow, he will never disclose any information about the "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" meditation method. If there is any violation, he is willing to bear the eye of judgment. Soul punishment!"
Enzo looked serious and made a soul oath.
Under the gaze of the Eye of Judgment, the oath became a shackles. If Enzo dared to violate it in the slightest, he would immediately suffer backlash.
"The oath is established, you can start practicing the "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" meditation method!" Fitz nodded with satisfaction, and the Eye of Judgment in mid-air disappeared after the oath was established.
"What to do?" Enzo asked.
"If you want to practice the "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" meditation method, you only need to sit on the Phantom Crow Monument, and feel the power emanating from the Phantom Crow Monument with your usual meditation attitude!"
Fitz's tone was serious and he said in a deep voice, "It has been 18,000 years since [Flock of Crows] was established, and the opportunity to practice "Thousand Spirits of Phantom Crows" only comes once every ten years."
"You only have one year to realize the power of the Phantom Crow Monument. After one year, whether you can master "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" or not, you must leave the Phantom Crow Tomb. Otherwise, your soul will be distorted, and you will lose yourself and be destroyed forever. Trapped in the Phantom Crow's Tomb."
"Soul twisted?" Enzo's heart trembled.
"Not bad!" Fitz's eyes were solemn and he nodded. "Do you still remember the voices you heard when we came here before? Those are people who failed to practice "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" but were unwilling to do so. Their souls After being twisted, I will stay here forever!”
Enzo gasped.
Although he had learned from Jorah and Bourne that practicing the "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits" meditation method had certain dangers, he did not expect that it would reach this level.
"Over the past 18,000 years, there have been at least a thousand apprentices who have had the opportunity to set foot in the Tomb of the Phantom Crow. Except for those who failed midway and left in time, there are probably even ten people who can truly master "The Phantom Crow's Thousand Spirits". None..." Fitz said quietly.
"Senior Fitz, have you ever practiced "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits"?" Enzo asked tentatively.
"Yes, the last time I set foot here was ten years ago." A look of memory appeared on Fitz's face, then he shook his head and said bitterly, "I was just like you at the time. I had just been promoted to level three. Apprentice, who is eager for advanced meditation methods, only got a chance to practice it because of Dean Froslai's grandfather!"
"But it is a pity that I only persisted for half a month of the one-year training period. I could no longer withstand the power of the Phantom Crow Monument, and my soul was twisted and almost reached the edge of collapse."
"As a last resort, I had no choice but to leave the Tomb of the Phantom Crow. With the help of Grandpa Dean, I stabilized my out-of-control soul!"
"So...Senior Fitz failed?" Enzo frowned.
"Strictly speaking, I did fail."
Fitz nodded calmly and said softly: "However, I didn't gain anything at all during the half month under the Monument of Phantom Crow. Although I didn't fully master the meditation method of "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits", it can be regarded as Have some insights!"
I have been too busy with work recently and the updates are not very stable. I hope you can understand!
