Chapter 498: Forbidden Legends

When Jiang Lai passed through the thick stone door, his eyes were immediately attracted by a coffin in the center. The coffin was about two meters long and about one meter wide, and I don't know what material it was made of, so it felt very heavy and strong.

It's just that Jiang Lai is puzzled, since there is a forbidden power hidden here, why is a coffin placed here?

In a flash of thought, his gaze shifted and swept around. Suddenly, his complexion changed, and the look of shock could not be concealed in his inky black eyes. Around the coffin, there were all kinds of bones, almost dozens. Because of the age, they have all become white bones, and they are everywhere, making people's scalps numb. Although Jiang Lai had also experienced a lot of bloody scenes, the scene in front of him still made him feel uncomfortable.

"These are my people. ”

Hearing Shen Yifei's voice, Jiang Lai couldn't help but nodded, he had already guessed, presumably these bones were all people who came to find forbidden power back then, but they suffered misfortune. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

However, he did not lose sight of his purpose. After a moment of silence, he turned his head to look at Shen Yifei and asked, "Mr. Shen, why is there a coffin placed here, could it be that the forbidden power is here?"

The corners of Shen Yifei's mouth raised slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile, "Everyone knows the forbidden power, but no one knows what the forbidden power is, they only think that the forbidden power can make people control everything in the world through legends, but they don't know that the existence of the forbidden power is actually destruction." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "Jiang Lai, do you know why the forbidden power is sealed here?"

Jiang Lai shook his head.

"If the forbidden power is really as strong as you think, then why didn't the people back then use the forbidden power to change the world, but instead sealed it here, have you thought about the reason?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment. Indeed, it was a very simple truth, but he had never thought of it before.

"Mr. Shen, you are saying this, do you know the reason?"

"I didn't understand it before, I thought that the forbidden power represented everything, and it wasn't until that disaster that I realized how naΓ―ve our ideas were. Shen Yifei said slowly: "The forbidden power represents not a force, but a person. ”

"A person?" Jiang Lai was taken aback and looked at the coffin in disbelief, "You mean, there's a person lying here?"

"Yes! When we opened the coffin, we were also shocked by the situation inside, but what was even more terrifying was that the man ...... It seems to be alive. Shen Yifei's expression was solemn, and when he mentioned the experience of the year, a subtle pain flashed in his eyes, as if he was remembering those people who died, "When we tried to contact that person, a change occurred, and everyone passed out. When I woke up, I found that everyone was dead, and I was the only one alive. ”

Jiang Lai finished digesting the other party's words, and then pointed to the coffin with his finger, "Then this person ......"

"He's still in there. Referring to the mysterious person in the coffin, Shen Yifei's expression became a little strange, "Over the years, in addition to preventing someone from finding the forbidden power, I have spent more time looking for clues. Obviously, this coffin and the person inside existed before our tribe, so it can be seen that our tribe is not the first life form born in this world, and life was born before us. However, after all these years, I have been able to gather very few clues, and there is almost no record of our previous history, or rather, it was artificially destroyed. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lai's heart moved, and he asked, "Mr. Shen, could this thing have something to do with the mysterious old man that your clan found?"

"Looks like you've thought of it too. Shen Yifei nodded, "You guessed it right, they do have a relationship with each other." According to my investigation, the person in this coffin should be from the same period as the mysterious old man, but the information left by the mysterious old man is very limited, only mentioning the horror of the forbidden power, but there is no other record. Not only that, but a lot of the information he left behind was erased. I think that the other party deliberately did not want the secret of the forbidden power to leak out, and there is a high probability that the person inside this coffin was sealed by him. ”

Jiang Lai thought for a while and said, "You have been investigating for so many years, you should have gained something, such as the identity of this person?"

"The harvest is there, but it is not detailed, I know everything very messily, according to my guess, this man seems to be a sinner, but why he was convicted, it is not known. However, judging from his current situation, it can be judged that the power he has in his hands is likely to have something to do with this matter. ”

After a pause, Shen Yifei said again: "Back then, when my clansmen opened the coffin, they caused a disaster, which you must already know, but there is one thing you definitely don't know, when that terrifying force swept the earth, my clansmen were devoured in flesh and blood. Moreover, it was as if the force was consciously devouring them. ”

"Conscious?" Jiang Lai muttered to himself.

"Over the years, I have been observing his changes, and when he devoured the flesh and blood of his people, I felt as if his life force had become stronger, so I was thinking that he probably fell into a deep sleep for some reason and could not fully recover, and he could only recover by absorbing the essence and blood of others. Because of this, I have been avoiding others from approaching him, and I don't want people to release him, just for fear that he will wake up. Otherwise, another catastrophe will belay the whole world. ”

After listening to Shen Yifei's narration, Jiang Lai suddenly fell into deep thought. The situation seemed to be more complicated than he imagined, his original purpose was very simple, that is, to gain Shen Yifei's trust and access to the forbidden power. However, it was only now that he knew that the forbidden power was actually a person, and a person who was still alive, which was incredible.

Regarding Shen Yifei's words, although Jiang Lai didn't believe them all, he believed them at least eight or nine points, because all of this was in front of him. If it's really like what the other party said, it's better not to touch this forbidden power.

It's a pity!

He shook his head secretly, thinking that he could see the ultimate of power, who knew that it would be like this, after spending so much energy, in the end it was in vain. Thinking of this, he suddenly lacked interest, and he didn't want to stay longer for a moment.
