Chapter 925: Distributing Supplies
Gu Heng looked around and found himself standing in the center of a semi-circular plaza, the ground paved with bluish-gray stone slabs engraved with runes.
This ancient site had clearly been developed. Although it was mostly in ruins, he could see many magical runes shimmering, supporting a massive "dome".
It's actually a protective shield.
As for what exactly they were protecting against, he couldn't tell.
"Alright, everyone, please find a place to rest and wait for the deputy tomb master to arrive."
At Wu Zhao's command, the members of the tomb keeper immediately dispersed, as if a fierce battle was about to begin, and everyone wanted to conserve their energy.
“This has taken up several more days.” Gu Heng pulled Gu Xitong along, found a collapsed wall to sit down, and counted on his fingers how much time had been spent.
Although staying in the Epoch Graveyard makes it easy to forget the concept of the passage of time, the thought of the people he cherishes outside makes it impossible for him to forget that feeling.
"In this place, spacetime is even more disordered."
Gu Xitong said.
"what do you mean?"
“Here, it’s hard for me to judge the difference between the flow of time and the outside world; it may become slower, or it may become faster.”
"Tsk, so according to you, staying in this godforsaken place for two or three days could mean twenty or thirty years have passed outside?"
Gu Heng was a little worried.
"It's possible, but as long as you leave as soon as possible, you won't have this problem."
These words made Gu Heng roll his eyes. Damn it, he never planned to come to the Epoch Cemetery in the first place. He only came because he fell for the wicked woman's scheme. Now, it's not up to him to leave. If he doesn't finish clearing out the tomb beasts, Wu Zhao probably won't even speak up.
Gu Heng lay against the wall, filled with sorrow, refusing even to enjoy Gu Xitong's lap pillow.
"Did you hear that?"
"Hmm, I heard they're going to attack the tomb beast's lair directly this time!"
He suddenly heard a few words of conversation beside him.
Turning around, I saw two unfamiliar faces, and I didn't know which hall manager they were.
"I really don't know what's going on with this tomb beast's nest. Brother, if you want to know anything, tell me."
The "brother" looked eager to learn.
"It's nothing. As you know, the Tomb Beasts have existed in the Epoch Graveyard for a long time. It's said that before the Tomb Keepers were established, when everyone was fighting for survival, the Tomb Beasts were rampaging everywhere!"
"Many people didn't die from the erosion of concepts, but were killed by tomb beasts!"
And "brother" was very forthcoming with his knowledge.
"But after the tomb guardians were formed, these tomb beasts rarely appeared in other places. Isn't that strange? It's as if when everyone sticks together, the tomb beasts don't dare to cause trouble..."
"The secondary tomb owners also traced the origins to this place, and when they discovered the ruins of a magical civilization nearby, they simply decided to make use of them."
The man muttered to himself, lowering his voice and speaking mysteriously, "It's said, it's said, I heard it from someone else, that most of the tomb beasts have gathered in one place, probably to guard it!"
The younger brother's eyes lit up.
"Protect what?"
"How would I know?" the guy shrugged. "But there must be something very important in the tomb beast's lair, otherwise why would so many tomb beasts not come looking for trouble, but just stay here guarding it?"
Upon hearing this, the young man scratched his head, seemingly still puzzled.
However, Gu Heng, who was standing nearby, overheard all of these words.
The tomb beasts used to ravage the land, squeezing out the living space of the "prisoners." But as soon as the prisoners chose to band together and form a faction, the tomb beasts almost all retreated to their lairs.
According to Wu Zhao, these monsters have no intelligence, only instinct.
Is it possible...
The prisoners' huddling together made the tomb beasts "instinctively" feel threatened, so they chose to retreat and defend.
Gu Heng thought this guess was somewhat reasonable, but that was all.
"The secondary tomb masters have arrived!" Suddenly, a deep hum resounded across the plaza, and then something in the world seemed to begin to stir!
All the members of the tomb keeper team, regardless of what they had been doing just now, were quite tense at this moment.
Gu Heng also sat up straight.
soon.
Accompanying the strange phenomenon were seven figures.
As soon as they appeared, everyone except Gu Heng felt that this ancient civilization was under unimaginable pressure and seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any moment!
as if.
These seven figures, simply by existing here, already weigh billions of tons!
"Greetings, Deputy Tomb Owner!"
The dozen or so hall masters were the first to bow, followed by all the members of the tomb keeper team. "You have all traveled a long way to get here, thank you for your hard work."
The one who spoke was an elderly man with white hair and a short stature. Gu Heng looked at these deputy tomb owners; some looked young, while others were very old.
Some of them were holding staffs.
Some had reflective heads and wore several strings of Buddhist prayer beads.
There were also those with muscular bodies covered in battle markings, and those in gray robes who were clearly from the immortal civilization.
Are these the pillars of the tomb keepers?
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes. Perhaps he was too inexperienced to see how strong these big shots were. In short, they had some presence, but not much.
"The hall masters must have conveyed the tomb master's message to him. It's true that he has a way to leave the Epoch Cemetery!"
"However, this mission to exterminate the tomb beasts is also quite important." "Let's not waste any more time, everyone, let's set off together!"
After the leading deputy tomb master gave the order, the other deputy tomb masters immediately took out a large amount of supplies, including several warships of unknown origin. Each of them also distributed ten pills and a large number of magical artifacts!
"Please board the ship, everyone. This is a magical ship excavated from the ruins of a magical civilization. It can travel within the Epoch Graveyard and has both defensive and offensive capabilities."
"These pills have been refined and improved by us. They can temporarily suppress conceptual erosion. There are not many of them, so they can only be used in such situations."
"After conquering the tomb beast's lair, we can await the tomb owner's orders."
"..."
Gu Heng looked at the pills floating in front of him and the three treasures he had no idea how to use.
It felt as if the secondary tomb owners had emptied their coffers to support this massive, all-out operation. "Hmm, a pill to suppress conceptual erosion?"
Wu Zhao examined the pills that had been distributed, stroking his chin.
He won't need this thing anymore.
Brother Gu's elixirs are far more potent than these!
