Chapter 217 The Entire Forbidden Area Is Whispering His Name (Please Subscribe!)
Said to be a tomb, it is actually a collection 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.
One after another, the names of those who passed away were scrawled on it.
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 the 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 our 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 bones 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 bodies of those who came before them."
"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."
After 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 were born with a strong body, could not break through the hard alloy ground here and bury the corpse underground.
Being able 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 Clan 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 the smooth and delicate wheat-colored skin above her chest.
Shane 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.
But now, after taking a closer look, Xia En could see——
This mark is actually a wolf head pattern.
Moreover, in this cemetery, this mark is still flickering brightly and dimly, as if it is breathing, and as if it is resonating with some kind of power in the cemetery.
However, the location of the mark is rather special.
When Xia En looked around, he inevitably saw some scenery that he shouldn't have seen.
It has to be said that although Sha Jingjing is not very old, her figure is fully developed and quite promising.
Under the current circumstances, Xia En naturally didn't have any charming thoughts in his heart. He just continued to read with respect and without being rude.
On the contrary, An on the side couldn't help but take a step forward, showing a hint of hostility.
Tracey sensed Ann's thoughts and her expression was very strange.
But when she was about to speak, she saw An's cold gaze.
Tracey had a feeling that if she really spoke out what An was feeling at this moment, she would definitely die miserably!
The little goblin then silently closed his mouth without saying a word.
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."
"The warriors who receive the blessing will not only have their bodies greatly strengthened, but may also gain some special abilities."
"Only after receiving blessings can we have the ability to transform into giant wolves."
"In our clan, this process is called...awakening!"
"I see."
Shane was thoughtful.
Among many non-human races, there are methods of gaining power that are different from the Secret Path.
For example, the Elvish language of elves and the blood power of the Balrog clan.
The growth of Bronze Dragon Xiange and the bloodline transformation of the blood clan Fei Ya also belong to similar promotion paths.
Therefore, for some races, it is difficult to use the levels of secret professions 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 a member of our clan living overseas."
"I have never seen an outsider with such a strong body that can perfectly adapt to the environment of [Sand Island]."
Shane shook his head.
With the race column on the panel, he knew very well that his bloodline was in no way comparable to the [Yongyue Clan].
Xia En sighed: "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 up, purchasing important components for the [Black Swan], 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 said it again.
"Anyway, I'm here, 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 inevitably suffered some injuries.
In addition, the black mist contained the filthy characteristics of "Evil Master", which greatly hindered the healing of wounds, causing him to look a little embarrassed.
Although it has little impact on combat effectiveness, it is not in its prime state after all.
Perhaps the phrase "Everyone has come" has a strange magic power, Xia En said after thinking.
"How did you get the blessing 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 discovered 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 Tracey questioningly.
Tracy hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "An feels like he has seen this altar somewhere before..."
"Um?"
Shane glanced at Ann in surprise.
Theoretically speaking, after Anzai awakens from the post-flood era, his range of activities should only be around the [Duke Island].
Why does an altar of the [Moon Yong Clan] look familiar?
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 had lines of silver and blood intersecting.
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 secret power in the center of the altar seemed to be much stronger than outside.
Wisps of strange and mysterious power are constantly seeping out of the air, and some of them are actually inhaled by the bones of the ancestors of the Yongyue Clan.
"The ancestor worship of the [Yongyue Clan] is indeed unique."
Xia En secretly sighed: "But what about this sense of intimacy?"
As he approached 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 unspeakable affinity.
Sha Jingjing said: "As long as you step onto the altar, you will be blessed by the souls of your ancestors."
Without hesitating for long, Xia En finally decided to trust his instincts and stepped onto the altar.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred!
…
…
While Xia En and others were exploring the altar of the [Moon Yong Clan].
Miso 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.
And those who survived generally had serious injuries.
Miso 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."
Miso 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 your relatives five times the pension."
"This is the promise of me, Miso, a businessman!"
The most important thing for a businessman is credibility.
Miso'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 quitting.
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 mystics, the reputation of Madman Gal is far higher than that of Matthew brothers.
When Gal became famous, Matthew and Matthew were still two unknown people!
Moreover, 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——
He has a good aura, a 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 Gall 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?"
"Bomb Maniac Leo! He's here too!"
Seeing this bandaged man, Matthew and others became more nervous.
Although Leo was only a third-level secret pather, he had a unique explosive formula that could be combined with his own secret technique to exert amazing power.
According to rumors, Leo's bomb almost destroyed an island.
Other ferocious pirates also stared at Miso and others with ill intentions.
That look was not like facing his own kind, but like looking at pigs and sheep to be slaughtered!
"Mad!"
Matthew cursed in his heart: "These pirates are all crazy!"
He would rather face a few more giant sandworms than deal with this group of unrestrained crazy people.
Because the actions of sandworms are traceable after all, but no one knows what a group of crazy people will do in the next second.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger and stronger, the crazy Gal suddenly spoke.
"The [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] is our old friend, and we have had pleasant cooperation in the past."
"Don't attack them without my order."
Hearing this, Miso and his party couldn't help but breathe 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!"
"Won't we just take the treasure back from them later?"
Miso's face turned pale when he heard this, and anyone who was despised like this would feel angry.
But with the strength of both sides, once they fight, both sides will inevitably suffer losses, which will give others an opportunity to take advantage of.
So, Miso simply said to his followers: "Don't worry about him, let's go!"
Afterwards, Miso and Gar's two groups maintained a strange tacit understanding, moving forward in the black fog one after the other.
Both sides were wary of each other and alert to each other, as if a war could break out at any time, but they didn't dare to really start a war.
Coupled with the dangers in the surrounding black fog, both groups were a little gloomy.
In fact.
Due to the dull heartbeat before, many outsiders have come to this forbidden area.
But they are generally weak, and almost suffered serious losses at the beginning of entering the forbidden area.
Only a few people can pass through the high-gravity corridor and come to the area where the black fog is.
When they encountered the two powerful explorers, Misuo and Gar, they were all horrified and just wanted to hide far away.
It can be said that at present, these two groups of explorers are the two strongest forces in the forbidden area.
However, just after they passed through the black fog with difficulty.
Suddenly, a bright silver moonlight appeared in front of them!
This moonlight seemed to transcend time and space, pouring down from an unknown place, illuminating this dim forbidden area.
Then, everyone saw...
Under the moonlight.
Surrounded by countless tombstones and bones.
A handsome man stood there!
The huge ancient will, transformed into the shadow of a silver-white giant wolf, hovered above his head.
The black fog filled with malice condensed into dark hands, trying to drag him into the endless abyss.
At this moment.
Even Misuo and Gar couldn't help holding their breath.
In everyone's eyes, it seemed that only the man bathed in the moonlight was left.
At this moment, the man opened his eyes.
Endless moonlight, starlight and darkness swirled and bloomed in his eyes.
Faintly, everyone seemed to hear countless overlapping whispers.
That was the ancestral soul of the entire cemetery, whispering his name -
Shaen!
