Chapter 836: A Place of Rest
The people who came back did bring back two corpses. The man who had left the town with them had turned into a corpse when he returned. Gao Feng found that these people were carrying the two corpses and headed towards the huge building in the middle of the town.
Everyone walked towards the huge building in the center of the town, no one spoke, no one paid attention to Gao Feng, and no one would explain anything to Gao Feng. Gao Feng was indeed very puzzled, and asked someone, but he didn't get a response.
Seeing that everyone had gone, Gao Feng followed suit. He estimated in his heart that the two corpses should have died at the hands of the monster after entering the rift. With so many people gone, and two more dead, one can imagine how dangerous they were.
There was no one talking along the way, and soon we reached the huge building in the center of the town. Gao Feng followed the others and walked towards the gate. The door slowly opened on its own as they approached. After entering, these people went in.
The last time Gao Feng came here, someone still came out of it. Now the one who came out of it was among them. At that time, Gao Feng did not enter the building, and he was also told that he had better not go in. Now that everyone has entered, Gao Feng is a little bottomless in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to go in or not.
Seeing that everyone else had entered, Gao Feng hesitated slightly, and then followed these people in. didn't encounter any trouble, Gao Feng came in very smoothly. This building is a very large building from the outside. But there's a lot more space inside. There is another space in this building, otherwise. It can't be so big here.
As far as the eye can see, there are mountains of mountains. There's no end in sight. Although there are many mountains, there are also large areas of flat land. It's just that there are no upgrades here, and it looks very desolate.
None of these are the most important things. Neither this huge space nor these barren mountains are the most important. The most important thing is what exists here. Come in from one. Gao Feng's eyes were attracted by the things that existed in the mountains. To be precise, I was attracted to the people who existed in the mountains.
The men carried the two bodies and walked forward. One of the corpses was placed on a flat ground somewhere. They then continued walking, placing another corpse on top of a small mountain and letting it sit cross-legged on top of it. And then the people came together and came somewhere.
It was as if they were performing some kind of ritual. Gao Feng approached these people. Listen to it. They really mourned the two who died. These people seemed to have a heavy heart and seemed very sad.
"Is this a cemetery? If it's not a cemetery, why are there so many dead people here? They must all be dead, and they don't have the breath of a living person at all. But why do these people still have a powerful aura? Gao Feng said to himself in his heart.
In addition to Gao Feng and the other people who came here, there were many other people here. It's just that none of these people seem to be alive. Gao Feng didn't feel any breath of living people on these people, so he felt that these people were all living people.
Some of them were standing on the hillside. It seems to be looking into the distance. Some stand on the top of the mountain and look up at the sky. It seems to be roaring at the sky. Some sat on the flat ground, with a calm look on their faces. Some people's bodies have been torn apart, and some people have terrible wounds on their bodies. Although there is no breath of life in these people, there is an incomparably powerful breath in each of them. Everywhere everyone is, they are filled with their breath.
In order to judge whether these people were alive or not, Gao Feng wanted to use his divine thoughts to observe them carefully. But when Gao Feng's divine thoughts approached, he was immediately repelled by the powerful aura exuded by the people here. Gao Feng wanted to try forward again, but was still repulsed. Although his divine thoughts couldn't get closer, he felt a more powerful aura. I don't think it's the Star Emperor level, nor is it the aura that Gao Feng, who has just surpassed the Star Emperor level, can have.
"Don't try, your mind can't get close to them, and you shouldn't bother them. They are all tired and need to rest. A voice sounded beside Gao Feng.
Gao Feng, who was surprised in his heart why these people had such a powerful aura, withdrew his divine thoughts and looked at the person who spoke to him. The person who spoke was the woman who rescued Gao Feng back to the town from under the tiger's claws. Beside this woman, stood her brother.
"What is this place and why is there a ...... There will be these people here. Gao Feng asked curiously. He really didn't know how to describe these people.
"A resting place, a cemetery. These people you see, they are all peerless powerhouses, but they are all dead, dead in endless battles. Some of them were torn apart, and some of them had no bodies left. If we can find the body, we will bring it back here and bury it here. If there is no body, then make a statue and put it there. The woman said.
Sure enough, as Gao Feng guessed, this was really a cemetery. But Gao Feng still didn't understand something. He asked, "Since this is a cemetery, then why did a person come out of here last time." That's the man, didn't he come out of here? He can't be the one who guards the grave here. ”
"Of course not. In addition to being used as a cemetery, it also has a function, that is, a place for healing. Anyone who is injured will enter here to heal. As long as they recover a bit, they will come out of here. The people you see, not all of them are dead. Some people don't have any breath of life at all, but that doesn't mean they're really dead. There's still a chance for them to wake up. It's just that the chances are slim. The woman said.
Gao Feng sighed, and then asked, "You guys went out this time, what happened." Have you also gone to that place that is like nothingness? Did you encounter those monsters too? What the hell is it and why are there so many monsters? ”
The woman nodded and said, "Yes." The place we go is the same as the place you go. But the dangers we encounter are much more dangerous than those you encounter. This time, two people died. As long as you ask, what is the place of nothingness, I can tell you that it is the defense line of the universe. And we. It's the one who guards the line. ”
"The defense line of the universe? What does that mean, could it be that those monsters are not monsters in the universe, but from somewhere else? The universe is so big. How big is that line of defense? Gao Feng said.
"You've surpassed the Star Emperor and guarded a star field, and I'm sure there are some things you should understand. Those monsters really don't belong to this universe. The purpose for which they appeared. It is to destroy the entire universe. All we have to do is stop these monsters from setting foot in our universe. Even if we pay with our lives, we must stop them. The woman said.
"It's not from this universe, it's possible that there are other universes, or from somewhere else, like the world of the dead." Gao Feng said.
The woman didn't speak, and the brother next to her said, "No." The world of death is a separate world though. But it is also part of this universe. And these monsters come from an incomparably dark place outside the universe. They are in addition to destruction. There is no purpose. Stopping them is our job. ”
Although Gao Feng had basically guessed that the purpose of these people being here was to prevent those monsters, but from the confirmation from the mouth, Gao Feng still didn't want to believe it. The main thing is that he doesn't want to face these monsters.
"Find a place, find a place here that belongs to you. If one day you die, the living will find your body, bring it back, and place it in the place you have chosen. It's the same if we die. The woman said.
"Can I not choose? I don't want to stay here. I'm so weak, you're all so powerful, I can't help much. Can you tell me where I can get out of here, I'd better get out. Gao Feng said.
The woman's brother said, "Since you want to leave, what are you going to do when you come back?" You should know how to leave, you must have been to the starry sky, isn't that the way to leave? You can't come back at all. No one ever asked you to come back either. Now that you're here, you've already made your decision. Even if you change your mind one day in the future, it will be in the future. Now as long as you're here, you're eligible to choose a place that belongs to you. ”
"You've already guarded our universe, so you're qualified. Even if you leave now, no one will be able to murder what you did before. We know what you've done, and the creatures in the star field you've protected know it. The woman said.
Gao Feng was a little speechless, but I have to say that the two sisters and brothers were right. He couldn't have come at all. He could leave from the stars and find his way home. But he came back, which shows that he made a choice. Maybe this choice is only temporary, but he did protect a star field, which is an indelible credit.
When Gao Feng was a little stunned and didn't know what to say, these people began to leave. Gao Feng saw that they were all gone, and he followed them out. Before he walked out, he looked back at the people here. He really wanted to know how many people there were, and he really wanted to know how long these people had been guarding the entire universe.
When he went out, the door to the building was shut. But these people have not yet left, just stay in this central square, as if waiting for something. Gao Feng found the sister and brother and wanted to ask what they were waiting for.
"Wait, as I just said, it's not just a cemetery, it's also a place for healing. We're waiting for someone who is still alive. As long as there are people alive, they will come out. Just like the one you've met before. The woman said.
"Why wait for someone to come out, is it saying that something very bad is going to happen? Do you need people to wait here for people? Gao Feng said.
The siblings didn't speak, just waited quietly. Gao Feng suddenly felt very bad. When Gao Feng was not in the town before, these people left once, and there were quite a few of them, and there were few people left. This time out, two people died, and the others were in very bad shape.
This shows that they are in great danger this time. Now there are still people to wait, and people are still needed, so that is, something more dangerous will happen soon. If Gao Feng was also involved, with his strength likely to be the bottom among these people, he would probably be the first to die.
Although he felt that things were not good, Gao Feng did not leave like this. He didn't know how to get out of this place yet. If it was in that void place, it would be fine, but in the town, if there was no spatial rift, Gao Feng really didn't know how to leave. He waited here with the others, waiting for the others to appear.
A wait is a matter of days. The closed door finally moved. Little by little, the door was pulled open from the inside, and someone came out of it, and not alone.
The first thing Gao Feng saw was a skeletal necromancer. Most of the bones on this skeletal necromancer's body were covered with cracks, and it looked like it would shatter at any moment. But it has this powerful aura.
Behind the skeleton were several people who looked badly injured and disorganized. They all had shocking wounds on their bodies, and they looked very weak. But even so, it still couldn't hide the powerful aura on their bodies.
"Is it going to happen again? How serious this time is, it needs to wake up those of us who are about to die. One person asked.
"Needless to say, it must be very serious. Otherwise, it won't wake us up. Is it just you guys now? Another man said.
There were eight people coming out of the building. Among them were three undead and five alive. The words just now were said by two of the eight people who had just come out.
"It's just us. The matter is indeed very serious, and we have no choice but to wake you up. Time is running out and we have to be ready. This time, it is likely that all of us will die. This time, it may be our last battle. Someone said.
"Has it finally arrived? Okay, let's fight. I've been holding out for so many years, haven't I just been waiting for this day? (To be continued......)
