Chapter 1659: The Lively Holy Sepulchre
After listening to my affirmative words, the two skeletons seemed to untie the knot in their hearts, and their tones became a little more relaxed, and then they listened to Tai Li and asked, "Hou Sheng, you just said that there is a gap in the land of war, right?" β
"Yes." I snapped it up.
Hearing this, Kaku and Tai Li glanced at each other, unable to see their expressions, and after a long time, they saw Tai Li muttering: "No wonder so many companions are lost, it turns out that the infiltration of demons is already so serious..."
"Senior, what do you mean by being lost?" I couldn't help but ask.
"The mind has been affected by the demons, they have forgotten their mission, and only want to leave the Holy Sepulchre with one heart, many of their companions have already left, and there is no one left here, and the ones left behind are basically very strong and can resist the erosion of demons, but this is not the way, and if we continue like this, we will all follow in their footsteps." Speaking of which, Taili glanced at Kaku.
Seeing this, the two ghost fires in Kaku's pupils trembled, and he said hoarsely: "Taili, it is said that everyone has been eroded, but if it is not for the resentment in his heart, how can he be so easily affected?" β
"Kaku, whether you have a grudge or not, but if you continue to think like this, sooner or later you will become an unconscious puppet, let alone recover." Tai Li said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Kaku fell silent for a moment, and nodded after a while, "I will." β
For a while, the two skeleton brothers were silent, only four ghost fires floated in the air, which looked extremely weird, seeing this, I thought I had to find a topic to break this damn silence, but at this moment, Tai Li changed the topic and asked: "Hou Sheng, you and tell me, what is the situation outside now, I think your strength is not bad, does it mean that the problem of the depletion of external source qi has been solved?" β
"Yes." I nodded and replied truthfully: "Don't hide it from the two seniors, the source qi outside is enough to use at present, but in terms of cultivation, the realm of the strongest person at the moment is in the late stage of the third three-star. β
Hearing this, Kaku and Taili glanced at each other, and the four ghost fires shook violently as if to indicate the unpeace in their hearts, and then they heard Kaku's tone say with a little shock: "Is it so weak?" β
...... I was speechless.
Seeing that I was embarrassed, Taili said for me: "Kaku, don't forget, we used up the source qi back then, and the descendants can be said to be bearing the consequences of us, and now it is good to have the realm of the late three-star stage." β
"That's rightβ" Kaku nodded.
I was about to say something when I saw a sudden noise in the nearby graves, and then my scalp tingled to see skeletons crawling out of many graves.
Seeing this scene, I almost turned around and ran, thanks to my good concentration, I forcibly suppressed my urge to turn around and run, after all, Kaku and Taili were obviously very calm at the moment, Taili said with a smile: "I can't imagine that my old friends can't stay anymore, it seems that they are also very interested in the situation in the outside world." β
"Taili, Kaku, who is he?"
"If you dress so strangely, you must be someone from the outside world."
"You old guys, aren't you also deaf, you really can't hear what this son said just now?"
"It's hard to find so many old friends, it's been decades since they've been so lively, how have they been in the grave lately?"
"It's okay, I didn't expect you to be alive, I thought you old things were already dead!"
A group of skulls that have lived for thousands of years crawled out of the grave and finally came to my side, just like a group of old men and aunts chatting around me, but how eerie this situation is.
Imagine what it would be like for a group of skulls with their eyes full of ghostly fire to circle around you in a graveyard? I'm living through this wonderful experience right now, and although it's fascinating, I'm still at peace, after all, I'm used to it.
More and more skulls poured up, making this desolate graveyard more lively, and at this time, I only heard Taili cough lightly, and said: "Old guys, can you stop arguing, let this descendant continue to speak, what do you have to say in the grave!" β
Tai Li is still very easy to speak, many skeletons suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at me, the atmosphere suddenly became weird, looking at the seeping eyes, I stubbornly said: "Well, in fact, the source qi of the outside world has only recovered for about forty or fifty years. β
"Why is it that the source of exhaustion has been restored?" A skeleton asked.
I didn't know where to explain this, so I replied, "The source qi brought in from other places, anyway... Now that the outside world has a source of energy, the current highest combat power is a powerhouse in the late three-star period, and there are six mid-three-star powerhouses and more than a hundred powerhouses in the early three-star stage. β
"Well, if it's only been restored for forty or fifty years, that's pretty good." Kaku nodded.
Taili was thoughtful.
"Housheng, after so many years, can there be new demons in the outside world?" Someone asked.
Hearing this, I first shook my head and said, "I won't tell you the seniors, it's been more than 5,000 years, and it hasn't happened, but... In recent years, it has appeared, and we are actively responding to it. β
At this moment, many skeletons became emotional, and one of them even punched the ground with a fist, and said angrily: "Damn, those terrible monsters have actually appeared again." β
"Is there going to be a repeat of what happened back then?"
"The current strength of the outside world is absolutely impossible to deal with, and it will repeat the mistakes of the past in a few years, and even encounter a catastrophe."
"Woohoo! Many of the deities of the past have not been here since they left, and now that the world has suffered such a great calamity, should they still ignore it? β
"Be careful!"
"Hmph, don't let me tell the truth, I'm already a dry bone, and I'll die when I die!"
Seeing the chaos of the crowd, I don't know what to say, but the mood is extremely heavy, we used to guess by ourselves, although in the end we still think that the trouble of the evil spirit is imminent, but we can deceive ourselves.
But now that a group of "experts" who have experienced the plague of resentful spirits say so, this matter is equivalent to drawing an end, and the plague of resentful spirits will inevitably explode in the future, and we will also face the double pressure of resentful spirits from the ancient battlefield.
Where does the future hold?
But at this moment, Tai Li suddenly said to everyone: "Okay, everyone, is it time to quarrel, we should solve the problem, not quarrel, when will it be a head?" β
"Taili, what do you say should be?" The skeletons said in unison.
"Don't forget, there is still Xia Zu guarding the seal, why are you panicking with Xia Zu?" Tai Li said in a deep voice: "With Xia Zu here, those resentful spirits can't make any waves. β
After Tai Li mentioned Xia Zu's name, the many skeletons were suddenly a lot quieter, and I could feel a kind of trust and even respect for Xia Zu at this moment, and even overshadowed the respect for those saint honors.
That Xia Zu, in the eyes of the ancient ancestors, actually had such prestige?
"Xia Zu, we believe in it." Someone said sincerely, after this person said this, many skeletons nodded one after another, but in addition to agreeing, some people still expressed doubts, only to see Kaku said worriedly: "Taili, we naturally trust Xia Zu, but this matter can no longer be solved by Xia Zu alone, not to mention that the movements of the demons who are becoming more and more rampant now, let's just say how should the descendants of the outside world solve the new demons?" β
Kaku's worries are not unreasonable, the evil spirits in the outside world are getting worse and worse, and I am afraid that there will be a day in the future that cannot be stopped, this is not only Kaku's worries, but also my worries.
Hearing this, Tai Li was silent for a long time, and after a while, his eyes flashed, and he said.
"There is a solution."
