Lord of All Gods

Chapter 388: Chapter 388 Cemetery of the Natives

Just as Ye Liuyun and the others were focusing on their cultivation, the leader of the Hasang Clan went straight to Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you for helping us to integrate the human race in the secret realm. It will be safer after we move here," The leader of the Hasang Clan thanked Ye Liuyun seriously.

Ye Liuyun’s cultivation was disturbed, but he did not want to give the clan leader the cold shoulder, so he could only gave a perfunctory reaction politely.

The clan leader also knew that he had disturbed Ye Liuyun’s cultivation and said apologetically, "I’m sorry for disturbing your cultivation. In order to express our gratitude, there’s one thing that I want to tell you. This matter might be of some help to you."

When Ye Liuyun heard this, he also became curious, "Clan leader, feel free to tell."

Then, the clan leader said slowly, "There is a cemetery of our ancestors here. In the cemetery, there is a pagoda through which one can go in and out of this secret realm. But a hundred years ago, a strange kind of bug that eats people appeared in the cemetery. Since then, no one ever goes in. We can only build another cemetery to bury the dead people and be separated from our ancestors."

"Do you want me to help you take out that pagoda?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"There’s no need, because no one has ever returned after using that pagoda. I’m not interested in that pagoda either. I just want to ask, if you are interested in that pagoda, then you can take it away and help us clean up the bugs. This way, we can be buried together with our ancestors in the future."

"What other functions does that pagoda have?" Ye Liuyun wanted to know more about it.

However, the clan leader didn’t know about the other information either. Ye Liuyun went out to ask the others, and even the people of the Jiamuni Clan only knew about the legend, but they didn’t know the specific situation.

Ye Liuyun was a little hesitant. He didn’t know if it was worth risking his life for a pagoda. However, he thought that since he was already here, he might as well go take a look. Who knows if he might find something else.

Hence, Ye Liuyun resolutely stopped his cultivation and rushed toward the cemetery according to the direction that the clan leader had provided.

The cemetery was at the northwest corner of the whole secret realm, and tall tombstones could be seen from a distance. The whole cemetery was underground, and they were made of huge stones. However, there were no feral beasts around, and the whole cemetery was quiet. It seemed that there were indeed some dangerous things here.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Phantom Eyes and searched carefully. He did not find any danger outside, so he directly opened the mechanism of the underground tomb according to the method taught to him by the clan leader.

The ground cracked, and a stone gate appeared. As the stone gate opened, there was a rotten smell.

"Eh? Why is there such a strong rotting smell?" Ye Liuyun first scanned the tomb with his Divine Sense, but he didn’t find anything strange. Normally the grave that was completely sealed by huge rocks would be very well preserved, so there wouldn’t be such a strong smell.

Even at the mass grave previously, Ye Liuyun had never smelled such a strong smell.

"It seems that there is something strange inside!"

He walked along the stone steps and slowly entered the tomb. It was dark inside, but his Golden Phantom Eyes could see everything clearly.

Because the natives were tall, the tunnel in the tomb was also very spacious. Each stone brick that was used to build the tomb was half a man’s height.

Not long after, Ye Liuyun saw a skeleton, which was only left with bones and clothes. Judging from the clothes, this person should have died not long ago. Moreover, the size of the skeleton was the same as that of a normal person. It did not look like a native.

"Could it be someone from the alliance?" Ye Liuyun immediately checked his Interspatial Ring and found the identity token of the alliance. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"It seems that someone from the alliance had come not long ago. But what is the cause of the death?"

Judging from the skeleton’s appearance, there were no signs of injury. However, there was not a single drop of flesh left on it.

While Ye Liuyun was deep in thought, he suddenly felt that the ground in the distance was shaking. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was not the ground that was shaking, but a layer of small bugs on the ground that were wriggling toward him.

"Corpse-eating worms!" When Ye Liuyun took a closer look with his Golden Phantom Eyes, he was also shocked. He didn’t expect that there was such a thing in this secret realm. This kind of bug was also black and gray, very similar to the color of rocks.

The bug was smaller than a fingernail. Its two protruding front teeth were used to cut the skin of a corpse, and it also had a big belly. This kind of bug usually did not attack living creatures. It would only bite through the corpse and then worm its way into it to eat its flesh.

However, this large swarm of corpse-eating worms actually attacked living creatures. It seemed that they had dominated this place. The sight of this large swarm of corpse-eating worms was very terrifying. Even the huge-sized natives would be completely eaten by these bugs in an instant.

Ye Liuyun did not dare to be careless. He immediately circulated his genuine energy to protect his body and wrapped his entire body with the Golden Crow Sacred Fire.

"It seems like this is the main culprit. The alliance members can’t use their genuine energy to defend against these bugs."

When Ye Liuyun thought of this, he felt a lot more at ease.

These corpse-eating worms didn’t have any spiritual intelligence. The corpse-eating worms that rushed over first were burned down by Ye Liuyun’s Golden Crow Sacred Fire, but the worms behind were still crawling toward him.

Gradually, the walls on all sides were also filled with corpse-eating worms. They swarmed toward Ye Liuyun from all directions.

Ye Liuyun didn’t care. Instead, he sped up moving forward. He was full of genuine energy. It would not run out even if he were to use it to defend against these worms for a month or two.

These worms couldn’t stop him from moving forward at all. Before they could even get close to the Golden Crow Sacred Fire, they had already been burnt by the flame’s temperature. On top of Ye Liuyun’s head, the corpse-eating worms kept falling from above.

Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense discovered that these corpse-eating worms had crawled out from every coffin in the cemetery.

"Why are there so many of them? What do they usually eat?" Ye Liuyun had doubts in his heart. He didn’t stop and finally came to the side of a coffin. The lid of the coffin had been opened, and there were many old skeletons inside, all of which were covered with corpse-eating worms.

At this time, there were more and more corpse-eating worms around Ye Liuyun. These corpse-eating worms actually slowly gathered together. Their heads and tails were connected together, forming a corpse-eating worm that was even bigger than Ye Liuyun as it pounced towards Ye Liuyun.

"Eh? Is this thing controlled by someone?" Ye Liuyun immediately reacted. The corpse-eating worms here weren’t simple. Not only would they attack living creatures, but they also had spiritual intelligence. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have thought of forming a larger form to fight against humans. However, he didn’t know what kind of creature was controlling these corpse-eating worms.

To Ye Liuyun, even if these corpse-eating worms were to gather together, they wouldn’t be a threat to him. These things didn’t have cultivation realms, and it wouldn’t be able to break his body-protecting genuine energy just by their number and size.

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun’s Golden Crow Sacred Fire was very powerful. Even if these corpse-eating worms were to form a larger body, they wouldn’t be able to get close to him. freewёbnoνel.com

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

Ye Liuyun jumped in fright. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it wasn’t a zombie. It was still the corpse-eating worms that were playing tricks on him. The large amount of worms made the enormous skeleton stand up. They filled its flesh, bones, and joints. However, this kind of skeleton still didn’t have a cultivation realm. It was just stronger and tougher than the huge worm that was solely made up of corpse-eating worms.
