Chapter 388 Aboriginal Tomb

Just when Ye Liuyun and others were concentrating on their cultivation, the chief of the Hassan tribe came directly to Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you, friend Ye, for helping us integrate the human race in the secret realm. We are safer now that we have moved here." The chief of the Hassan tribe thanked Ye Liuyun earnestly.

Ye Liuyun's cultivation was interrupted, but he was embarrassed to treat the chief coldly, so he had to be polite and perfunctory with him.

The clan leader also knew that he had disturbed Ye Liuyun's practice, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry to disturb friend Ye's practice. To express our gratitude, there is something I want to tell you, which may be helpful to you."

Ye Liuyun was curious after hearing this: "Clan leader, just speak frankly."

Then, the clan leader slowly said: "We have a tomb of our ancestors here. There is a pagoda in the tomb that can enter and exit this secret realm. However, nearly a hundred years ago, a strange insect appeared in the tomb and ate people. No one of us has ever entered it. Even for burial, we can only build another cemetery to separate from our ancestors."

"Clan leader, do you want me to help you take out the pagoda?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"That's not necessary. Because no one who has used the pagoda has ever come back. I have no interest in the pagoda. I just want to ask, if you are interested in the pagoda, you can take it away and help us clean up the insects, so that we can be buried with our ancestors in the future."

"What other functions does the pagoda have?" Ye Liuyun wanted to know more comprehensively.

But the patriarch didn't know the rest of the information. Ye Liuyun went out to ask other people, and even the people of the Jiamuni tribe knew the legend, but they didn't know the details.

Ye Liuyun hesitated, wondering if it was worth taking the risk for a tower. But then he thought, since he was here, he might as well go and take a look, maybe there would be other discoveries.

So, Ye Liuyun resolutely stopped practicing and rushed to the direction of the tomb provided by the patriarch.

The tomb is in the northwest corner of the entire secret realm, and the tall tombstone can be seen from a distance. The entire cemetery is underground and built of huge stones. But there are no ferocious beasts around, and the entire cemetery is quiet, without a sound. It can be seen that there are indeed some dangerous things here.

Ye Liuyun's golden pupils opened, and after a careful search, he found no danger outside, so he directly opened the mechanism of the underground tomb according to the method taught by the patriarch.

The ground cracked and a stone door appeared. As the stone door opened, a foul smell came.

"Huh? Why is there such a strong rotten smell?" Ye Liuyun first used his spiritual sense to scan the situation in the tomb, but found nothing unusual. The tombs were sealed by huge stones on all sides, and they were usually well maintained and would not have such a strong smell.

Ye Liuyun had never smelled such a strong smell in Wanzanggang before.

"It seems that there is something strange in here!"

He walked slowly into the tomb along the stone steps. The tomb was pitch black, but it did not hinder his golden pupils, and everything was clearly seen.

Because the local natives were tall, the corridor in the tomb was also very spacious. Each stone brick that built the tomb was half a person's height.

Not far away, Ye Liuyun actually saw a skeleton, with only bones and clothes left on his body. And judging from the newness of the clothes, this person should have died not long ago. And the size of the skeleton is the same as that of a normal person, not like an indigenous person.

"Could it be someone from the alliance?" Ye Liuyun immediately checked the man's storage ring and found the identity token of the alliance.

"Sure enough, it seems that someone from the alliance came here not long ago. But what is the cause of death?"

From the appearance of this skeleton, there is no sign of injury. But there is no flesh and blood left on the skeleton.

Ye Liuyun was thinking, and suddenly felt that the ground in the distance was shaking. When he looked carefully, he found that it was not the ground that was shaking, but a layer of small insects on the ground, crawling towards him along the ground.

"Corpse worms!" Ye Liuyun's golden eyes looked carefully and was also shocked. I didn't expect that there would be such things in this secret realm. These insects are also black and gray, very close to the color of rocks.

One insect is not even as big as a fingernail, with two protruding front teeth used to cut the skin of the corpse, and a big belly. This kind of insect usually does not attack living things, but bites through the corpse and drills into it to eat flesh and blood.

However, now these groups of corpse-eating insects are attacking living things, and it seems that they are the kings here. The sight of a swarm of corpse-eating insects would make one's scalp numb. Even a local person's body size could be eaten clean by these insects in an instant.

Ye Liuyun did not dare to be careless. He immediately used his true essence to protect his body and wrapped himself with the Golden Crow Holy Fire.

"It seems that this thing is the culprit. Alliance members cannot use true essence to defend against these insects."

Ye Liuyun felt relieved when he thought of this.

These corpse-eating insects were not very intelligent. After the first one to rush over was burned by Ye Liuyun's Golden Crow Holy Fire, the corpse-eating insects behind him continued to crawl towards him.

Gradually, the walls on all sides were also covered with corpse-eating insects. They rushed towards Ye Liuyun from all directions.

Ye Liuyun didn't care, but instead accelerated his pace. His true energy was abundant, and if he only used it to defend against this kind of insects, he would not be exhausted for a month or two.

These insects could not stop his pace at all. Even before they could get close to the Golden Crow Holy Fire, they were already burnt by the temperature of the flame. Above Ye Liuyun's head, corpse-eating insects kept falling from above.

Ye Liuyun's consciousness found that these corpse-eating insects had crawled out of the coffins in the tomb.

"Why are there so many? What do they usually eat?" Ye Liuyun had doubts in his heart, and he kept walking until he finally came to a coffin. The lid of the coffin had been opened, and there were some old-looking skeletons inside, all crawling with corpse-eating insects.

At this time, there were more and more corpse-eating insects around Ye Liuyun. These corpse-eating insects actually slowly gathered together, and the four heads and tails were connected and bitten together, forming a corpse-eating insect larger than Ye Liuyun, and pounced on Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? Is this thing controlled by someone?" Ye Liuyun reacted immediately. The corpse-eating worms here are not simple. Not only will they actively attack living things, but they are also intelligent, otherwise they would not think of forming a larger form to fight against people. I just don't know what creature controls these corpse-eating worms.

For Ye Liuyun, these corpse-eating worms can't threaten him even if they gather together. This thing has no realm of cultivation. Just relying on the number and size, it can't break his body protection true essence.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun's Golden Crow Holy Fire is too powerful. Even if these corpse-eating worms are combined into a larger body, they can't get close to him at all.

Ye Liuyun was about to continue walking in, when suddenly, a skeleton in a coffin stood up.

Ye Liuyun was startled, and after a closer look, he found that it was not a zombie. It was still the corpse-eating worms that were playing tricks. The worms supported this huge skeleton with their number. The flesh, bones, etc. were all filled by the corpse-eating worms. However, this kind of skeleton still has no realm, but its strength and solidity are slightly stronger than the big insect composed simply of necrophile bugs.
