Chapter 217 The entire forbidden land is whispering his name (please subscribe!)
It is said to be a tomb, but it is actually a forest of simple stone monuments.
Most of the stone tablets are made from local materials, chiseled from the surrounding ground and rock walls, and come in various sizes and shapes.
Some are even just a fist-sized stone.
The names of those who passed away are scrawled on it one after another.
Among the stone tablets, Xia En also saw a lot of white bones, directly exposed in the air.
It is not difficult to imagine how many members of the Yongyue Clan were buried here.
"This is?"
Xia En frowned slightly and looked at Sha Jingjing aside.
After approaching this tomb, Sha Jingjing’s expression became extremely solemn.
“This is the cemetery of our ancestors.”
“It is said that only by burying the corpses of fellow tribesmen here can their souls rest in peace.”
Her voice was very soft, as if she was worried about disturbing the souls of her ancestors who were sleeping here.
“Similarly, this is also the task of every Yongyue clan member’s coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Only those tribesmen who pass through the forbidden area and successfully reach this cemetery will have their courage and strength recognized by their ancestors, and thus receive their blessings.”
At this time, Xia En thought of the few corpses he had seen along the way.
Sha Jingjing originally wanted to collect the bodies for them, but due to the critical situation, she had to give up.
“That’s right.”
Sha Jingjing said: "Those corpses are from tribesmen who failed to pass the test in the forbidden area."
“Generally speaking, those who come after you have the responsibility to collect the corpses of those who came before you.”
“But in recent years, the forbidden area has become more and more dangerous. Many tribesmen have tried their best just to get here, and they are unable to bury the bodies of their predecessors.”
“The people who are still alive are more important than the people who have passed away.”
Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood why this cemetery looked so messy.
The gravity in the forbidden area is far higher than that in the outside world.
Even the Yongyue Clan, who are naturally physically strong, would have difficulty breaking through the ground here, which is as hard as alloy, and burying corpses underground.
The ability to chip away those large and small rocks is already their limit.
Over time, this strange bone burial place emerged.
The stone tablets that rise one after another in front of us coldly bear witness to the desperate struggle between the Yongyue tribe and the environment and destiny in this barren land for thousands of years.
Xia En stared at the land in front of him quietly and asked after a moment.
“What is the blessing from the ancestors?”
Sha Jingjing thought for a moment, untied her robe and pulled down the collar.
There was a pale silver mark on her smooth and delicate wheat-colored skin higher on her chest.
Shaan had noticed this mark before.
Sha Jingjing once took out a dark yellow long bow and arrows from it, which seemed to have functions similar to space equipment.
Now, after taking a closer look, Xia En saw—
This mark is actually a wolf head pattern.
Furthermore, in this cemetery, this mark is still flickering brightly and dimly, as if it is breathing or resonating with some power in the cemetery.
However, due to the special location of the mark.
At this glance, Xia En inevitably saw some scenery that he shouldn't have seen.
I have to say that although Sha Jingjing is not very old, her figure is fully developed and she is quite promising.
Under the current circumstances, Xia En naturally had no charming thoughts in his heart. He just continued reading with respect and no disrespect.
On the other hand, An on the side could not help but take a step forward, showing a hint of hostility.
Tracey sensed An's voice and her expression was very strange.
But when she was about to speak, she saw An's cold gaze.
Tracy had a feeling that if she really spoke out what An was feeling at this time, she would definitely die miserably!
The little goblin just silently closed its mouth and said nothing.
Fortunately, Sha Jingjing is a girl after all, so she is somewhat shy.
Soon, she put her robe back on with a blushing face and explained: "This is the blessing of the ancestors."
“Warriors who receive the blessing will not only have their bodies greatly strengthened, but may also gain some special abilities.”
“Only after receiving a blessing can we have the ability to transform into a giant wolf.”
“In our clan, this process is called...awakening!”
"I see."
Xia En was thoughtful.
In many races other than humans, there are ways of gaining power that are different from the Secret Path.
For example, the Elvish language of the elves and the blood power of the Balrog clan.
The growth of Bronze Dragon String Song and the bloodline transformation of the blood clan Fei Ya also belong to similar promotion paths.
Hence, for some races, it is difficult to use the level of the secret profession as a criterion for evaluating strength.
at this time.
Sha Jingjing had a sudden thought: "By the way, Mr. Xia En, if you are really the holy son of our clan, you might also be able to receive the blessings of your ancestors."
"…ah?"
Xia En was stunned by her strange thinking and said, "But I'm not a member of the Yongyue Clan."
“What if you actually are!”
Sha Jingjing boldly guessed: "Maybe you are one of our clan members living overseas."
“I have never seen an outsider with such a strong body that can perfectly adapt to the environment of [Sand Island].”
Shaan shook his head.
With the existence of a race column on the panel, he knew very well that his bloodline was in no way comparable to that of the [Yongyue Clan].
Xia En sighed with emotion: "The reason why I have such a powerful body is all due to my own efforts!"
Although there is a little help from [Eye of the Secret Sea].
But the hard work of spawning monsters and leveling, purchasing important components for the [Black Swan], and upgrading the hull...how could it not be his own efforts?
Sha Jingjing also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Xia En said, so she just added.
“You’re here anyway, so just go and give it a try.”
“Even if you don’t get the blessing from your ancestors, you won’t lose anything.”
“Moreover, Mr. Shane, the injuries on your body...”
In the fierce battle just now, Xia En was inevitably injured.
Coupled with the fact that the black mist contained the filthy nature of "Evil Siming", it greatly hindered the healing of wounds, causing him to look a little embarrassed.
Although it has little impact on combat effectiveness, it is not at its peak after all.
Perhaps the phrase "Everyone is coming" has a strange magic power, Xia En said after thinking about it.
“How did you obtain the blessings from your ancestors?”
"where to!"
Sha Jingjing reached out and pointed toward the center of the cemetery.
I saw an area that looked like an altar there.
Xia En and his group approached the altar and soon found a totem pole standing on the altar.
The totems painted on the pillars are very similar to the textures on the previous [Moonlight Boat].
Seeing this altar, An, who was behind Xia En, suddenly stopped.
Shane looked at Tracy with questioning eyes.
Tracy hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "An feels like he has seen this altar somewhere before..."
"Um?"
Xia En glanced at An in surprise.
Theoretically, after An is awakened from the post-flood era, his range of activities should only be around the [Duke Island].
Why do you feel familiar with an altar of the [Yongyue Clan]?
Could it be said that it was before An fell into a deep sleep?
While thinking about it, Xia En was also silently observing the altar.
Not only the totem pole, but also the floor of the altar has silver and blood lines.
The entire altar is full of a rough and primitive feeling, but there is also a faint aura of dominance in the wilderness. In Xia En's perception, the mysterious power in the center of the altar seems to be much stronger than outside.
with strands of strange and mysterious power constantly seeping out of the air, some of which are actually being inhaled by the bones of the ancestors of the Moon Wing clan.
“The ancestor worship of the [Yongyue Tribe] is indeed unique.”
Xia En sighed secretly: "But what about this sense of intimacy?"
On the way to the altar, he felt a mysterious call.
This kind of call is somewhat similar to the call of [Secret Sea] to perform the promotion ritual, but it is different, but both have an indescribable affinity.
Sha Jingjing said: "As long as you step onto the altar, you will be blessed by the souls of your ancestors."
Without any hesitation, Xia En finally decided to trust his instincts and stepped onto the altar.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred!
…
…
At the same time that Xia En and others were exploring the altar of the [Moon-Yong Clan].
Misuo and others from the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce finally killed a mutated giant sandworm with great difficulty.
For this reason, two more fourth-level followers died.
Those who survived generally suffered serious injuries.
Misuo walked up to the corpses of the two followers, bowed respectfully, and then put them into a special space ring.
“The two of them died for me, and I should collect their bodies for them.”
Misuo turned to look at the other followers and said seriously: "Not just the two of them, I will do this to all the followers who died on [Sand Island]."
“And, I will also give five times the pension to your relatives.”
“This is the promise of me, Miso, a businessman!”
For a businessman, the most important thing is credit.
Misuo's words made the followers present look slightly relieved.
The danger level of this treasure place far exceeded their expectations, which also made some people think about retreating.
If they hadn't signed a contract when they were hired, I'm afraid many people would have chosen to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, Matthew, who was among his subordinates, turned to look at the black mist behind him and said in a wary tone.
“Be careful, someone is following you.”
Everyone immediately turned around and saw an ugly man with scars on his face walking out of the mist.
“Gal the Madman!”
Seeing this person, Matthew's expression suddenly changed.
Although they are both fifth-level Mystic Pathfinders, the reputation of Crazy Gal is far higher than that of Brother Matthew.
When Gal became famous, Matthew and Matthew were still two unknown people!
Furthermore, as a big pirate, Garr is bound to have a large number of crew members with him.
as expected.
After Gal appeared, several pirates came out one after another behind him.
What these pirates have in common is—
Has a good aura, ferocious appearance, and a cruel expression with a hint of madness.
It is said that when Garr recruits pirates, he will deliberately choose those with psychological and mental problems, which are what ordinary people call "madmen!"
This is one of the reasons why Gal is called a "fanatic".
Some pirates even called him "the savior of madmen!"
The man with bandages all over his body looked at Misuo and his group with snake-like eyes, and said in a sinister tone.
“Captain, do you want me to blow them all up into the sky?”
“Bombmaniac Leo! He’s here too!”
Seeing this bandaged man, Matthew and others became more and more nervous.
Although Leo is only a third-level mystic, he possesses a unique explosive formula that can be combined with his own secret skills to exert astonishing power.
It is rumored that Leo's bomb almost destroyed an island.
Other ferocious pirates are all targeting Misuo and others with ill intentions.
That look in his eyes did not look like he was facing his own kind, but like he was looking at pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
“Madman!”
Matthew cursed in his heart: "These pirates are all madmen!"
He would rather face a few more giant sandworms than deal with this group of lunatics who have no inhibitions.
Because the actions of sandworms can be traced after all, but no one knows what a group of madmen will do in the next second.
Seeing the smell of gunpowder in the air getting stronger and stronger, the fanatic Gal suddenly spoke.
“[Tianqi Chamber of Commerce] is an old friend of ours, and the previous cooperation has been very pleasant.”
“You are not allowed to attack them without my order.”
Hearing this, Miso and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
But the words of the bandaged man Leo made their hearts hang high.
“What if they want to compete with us for the treasure?”
Gar said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who gets the treasure."
“After all, we are pirates!”
“Isn’t it just a matter of snatching the treasure back from them later?”
Misuo's face turned livid when he heard this. Anyone who is slighted like this will feel angry in his heart.
However, given the strength of both sides, once a fight breaks out, both sides will inevitably suffer losses, which will also give others an opportunity to take advantage of.
Therefore, Misuo simply said to his subordinates: "Don't worry about him, let's go!"
Subsequently, the two groups of people, Misuo and Gal, maintained a strange tacit understanding and moved forward in the dark fog one after the other.
Both sides are afraid of each other and wary of each other, as if a war may break out at any time, but they dare not actually start a war.
Coupled with the danger in the surrounding dark fog, both groups of people were a little disheartened.
In fact.
Because of the dull heartbeat before, many outsiders have come to this forbidden area.
But they were generally weak in strength and suffered serious losses almost as soon as they entered the forbidden area.
Only a few people can pass through the high-gravity tunnel and reach the area where the black fog is.
When they encountered the two powerful waves of explorers, Misuo and Gal, they were all horrified and just wanted to hide away.
It can be said that at present, these two groups of explorers are the two strongest forces in the forbidden area.
Just after they trudged through the black mist.
A bright silver moonlight suddenly lit up in front of my eyes!
This moonlight seemed to span time and space, swaying down from an unknown place, illuminating this dark forbidden place.
Soon, everyone saw...
Under that moonlight.
Surrounded by countless tombstones and corpses.
A handsome man stood impressively!
The huge ancient will turned into the shadow of a giant silver wolf, hovering above his head.
The black mist filled with malice condensed into **** hands, trying to drag him into the endless abyss.
this moment.
Even Miso and Gal couldn't help but hold their breath.
Everyone seemed to have only the man bathing in the moonlight in their eyes.
At this moment, the man opened his eyes.
Endless moonlight, starlight and darkness swirled and bloomed in his eyes.
Vaguely, everyone seemed to hear countless overlapping murmurs.
That is the soul of the ancestors in the entire cemetery, whispering his name——
Shane!
