Chapter 217 The entire forbidden area is whispering his name (please subscribe!)
It is said to be a tomb, but in fact it is just a forest of simple stone tablets.
Most of the stone monuments are made from local materials, chiselled from the surrounding ground and rock walls, and come in various sizes and shapes.
Some are even just a stone the size of a fist.
The names of those who passed away are 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.
"Is this?"
Xia En frowned slightly and looked at Sha Jingjing aside.
After approaching this tomb, Sha Jingjing’s expression became extremely solemn.
"This is the ancestral cemetery of our clan."
"It is said that only by burying the corpses of our clansmen here can their souls rest in peace."
Her voice was very soft, It was as if they were worried about disturbing the souls of their ancestors who were sleeping here.
“Similarly, this is also the task of every Yongyue clan member’s coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Only those clansmen who have passed through the forbidden area and successfully arrived at this cemetery will have their courage and strength. It will be recognized by the ancestors and 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, latecomers They all have the responsibility to collect the corpses of their predecessors.”
"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."
"Compared to those who have passed away. People are more important than living people.”
Hearing this, Xia En also 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 our 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 slightly above her chest.
Xia En had noticed this mark before.
Sha Jingjing once took out a dark yellow long bow and arrows, which seemed to have functions similar to space equipment.
And now, after taking a closer look, Xia En saw——
This mark is actually a wolf head pattern.
Moreover, in this cemetery, the 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.
When Xia En looked at it, he inevitably saw some scenery that he shouldn't have seen.
It must be said that although Sha Jingjing is not very old, her figure is fully developed, which is quite promising.
Under the current circumstances, Xia En naturally had no charming thoughts in his mind. He just continued reading with respect and no disrespect.
On the contrary, An on the side couldn't help but take a step forward, showing a hint of hostility.
Tracy sensed Ann's thoughts and her expression was very strange.
But when she was about to speak, she saw An's cold gaze.
Tracy has a feeling that if she really tells An’s feelings at this time, she will 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 warrior who has received the blessing will not only have the physical body After being greatly strengthened, it is possible to obtain some special abilities.”
“Only after receiving blessings can we have the ability to transform into a giant wolf.”
"In our clan, this process is called...awakening!"
"So that's it."
Xia En was thoughtful.
In many races other than humans, there are ways to gain 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 Xiange and the bloodline transformation of the blood clan Fei Ya also belong to similar promotion paths.
So for some races, it is difficult to use the level of secret professions as a criterion for evaluating strength.
At this moment.
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."
"... ...Huh?”
Xia En was stunned by her strange thinking, and said: "But I am 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 any outsider with such a strong body that can perfectly adapt to [Sand Island] 】
Xia En 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 with emotion: "The reason why I have such a powerful physical body is all due to my own efforts!"
Although there is a little help from the [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 said it again.
"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."
"Besides, Mr. Xia En The injuries on your body..."
In the fierce battle just now, Xia En was inevitably injured.
In addition, the black mist contained the filthy characteristics of [Hui Siming], which greatly hindered the healing of the wound, 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 sentence "Everyone has come" has a strange magic power, Xia En said after thinking.
"How did you get the blessing from your ancestors?"
"Go there!"
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 party approached the altar and soon found a totem pole standing in 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 and said cautiously: "An felt that he had seen this altar somewhere before..."
"Huh?"
Xia En glanced at An in surprise. .
Theoretically, after An Zai awakens 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 [Moon Yong Tribe]?
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 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.
"[Yongyue Clan]'s ancestor worship is indeed unique."
Xia En secretly sighed: "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 for promotion ritual in [Secret Sea], 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 hesitation, Xia En finally decided to trust his intuition 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].
Misuo and others from Tianqi 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.
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, all the people who died in [Sand] I will do this for all the subordinates of the island.”
“And I will also give five times the pension to your relatives.”
“This is me, Miso. A businessman’s promise! ”
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 want to quit.
If they had not signed a contract when they were hired, I am afraid that many people would choose to turn around and leave directly.
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.
“Crazy Gal!”
Seeing this man, Matthew’s expression suddenly changed.
Although they are both fifth-level mystics, the reputation of Crazy 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 -
They have a good smell, 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 Garr is called a "madman" one.
Some pirates even called him "the savior of madmen!"
The man wrapped in bandages looked at Misuo and his group with snake-like eyes, and said sadly.
“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 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 amazing power.
It is rumored that Leo's bomb almost destroyed an island.
Other ferocious pirates are all targeting Miso and others with malicious intentions.
That look in his eyes didn't 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 , and don’t want to deal with this group of lunatics who have no taboos.
Because the actions of the sandworms can be traced after all, but no one knows what a group of lunatics will do in the next second.
Seeing the smell of gunpowder in the air getting stronger and stronger, the fanatic Gal suddenly spoke.
"[Apocalypse 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 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?"
Gall said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who gets the treasure."
"After all, we But pirates!"
"Isn't it just a matter of snatching the treasure back from them?"
Misuo's face turned pale when he heard this, and anyone who was slighted like this would feel angry.
But with 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.
So, Miso simply said to his subordinates: "Don't worry about him, let's go!"
Afterwards, Miso and Gal maintained a strange tacit understanding. One after another, we moved forward in the dark fog.
The two 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 black 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 mist is.
When they encountered two waves of powerful explorers, Miso and Gal, they were all horrified and just wanted to hide away.
It can be said that right now, 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 me!
The 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 bones.
A handsome man stood impressively!
The huge ancient will turned into the shadow of a silver-white giant wolf, hovering above his head.
The black mist filled with malice condensed into big black 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.
The 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 -
Xia En!
