Mo Nian, Yue Xiaoqian, and the others were also stunned, bewildered and confused. The creature kept worshipping and pleading, looking utterly pitiful.
It chirped as if saying something, but no one could understand its nonsense.
"Long Chen, try to examine its soul." Mo Nian said.
Long Chen suddenly fell silent, and Mo Nian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" "
I'm afraid we'll get too caught up in the karma and drag all of us into trouble." Long Chen said in a deep voice.
Back when he saw the Flower of the Great Dao and used the Eye of Purgatory, if it weren't for Xia Guhong's reminder, he didn't know what would have happened.
If they use the Purgatory Eye here and see something they shouldn't, Xia Guhong won't be here—they might even die.
In this world, if you lack strength and see something you shouldn't, it can be fatal.
Long Chen used to doubt it, but after suffering a big loss last time, he no longer dared to look at things lightly, especially things he couldn't control.
"Then try to see if you can make it hand over the map of the Land of Sky Burial." Mo Nian thought about it and agreed; some taboos must not be touched.
Otherwise, even if there's nothing to do now, if karma accumulates in the future, if you settle accounts in the tribulation, you'll be doomed. Some things are best avoided, but if you can get a map, it's much more convenient.
The creature seemed to understand Mo Nian's words and started chirping chaotically, but no one knew what it was calling.
Seeing that Long Chen and the others didn't understand, the creature suddenly stood on Long Chen's head, bowed repeatedly, and then, boldly, drew a drop of blood from Long Chen's wound.
After the creature absorbed a drop of Long Chen's essence blood, it started crying out in chaos. This time, although Long Chen didn't understand what it was saying, he could sense through its mysterious sensing to know what it was trying to express.
This ghostly being was extremely revered by Long Chen. After biting Long Chen, it felt terrified and begged Long Chen to forgive it and not kill it.
When it learned that Long Chen wanted to know the ancient tomb map, it volunteered to help lead the way. Using its description, Long Chen roughly sketched out a map.
But the living beings' expressions were unclear, and Long Chen himself wasn't a master artist; even when he drew a map, he couldn't understand it himself.
After some discussion, they decided to let the ghost cultivator lead the way. Long Chen told it to take them to a place full of treasures, and also took out some items for the ghost cultivator to identify.
The ghost path being was very clever, nodding repeatedly to show he understood Long Chen's meaning. Suddenly, it started barking at the other ghost path beings, and as if they were very afraid of it, they began to lead the way. It stood on Long Chen's shoulder, looking like a fox borrowing tiger's might.
Yue Xiaoqian found it amusing. This ghostly creature looked like a tiny figure three inches tall. Its eyes were like mung beans, its mouth was a bit wide, showing two sharp teeth. Just moments ago, it was timid and timid, but now it bared its fangs and claws, looking extremely fierce and comical.
Those ghostly beings floated ahead to guide the way, with Long Chen and the others following behind. Strangely, after those ghostly beings led the way, the evil corpses wandering inside the tomb began to ignore Long Chen and the others, as if they couldn't see them.
However, passing by these evil corpses and feeling their terrifying aura was still terrifying.
These beings from the ancient era had terrifying auras that Long Chen and the others judged that these evil corpses were probably only at the Realm King realm. However, the pressure they exerted on Long Chen and the others was thousands or hundreds greater than those of ordinary Divine Venerables realm experts, and could even rival the City Lord of Silvermoon City.
Moreover, hundreds or thousands of evil corpses roam back and forth in the passage, often passing by them. To say they're not afraid would be a lie.
"The creatures from the Primordial Era are too powerful. If we were born in the Primordial Era, with our current cultivation, we probably wouldn't even rank mid-tier." Guo Ran looked at these terrifying evil corpses and couldn't help but whisper.
"Tch, you're just talking nonsense. If we had been born in the ancient era, we would still be the darlings of our era.
The strong remain strong no matter what. Our strength isn't just luck, but strength—when the tide rises, the boat floats higher.
If it were the Primordial Era, when chaotic energy was abundant, we definitely wouldn't be at our current level. "Mo Nian said with great confidence.
"You can't say that. The key is, in ancient times, were there really that many graves for you to dig?" Long Chen retorted.
"Damn, you're being a bit arguing now." Mo Nian said irritably.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Mo Nian made a living by tomb raiding, and in ancient times, there probably weren't that many large tombs for him to dig.
"Crack, crack, crack...
Suddenly, there was a tremor as a massive stone door opened. The moment the door opened, a violent, fierce aura surged forth. Long Chen and the others felt a terrifying pressure surge over them, and everyone instinctively retreated.
"Damn!"
When everyone finally steadied themselves and looked toward the stone door, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Within a space spanning hundreds of miles, countless corpses were embedded along the surrounding walls.
Although these corpses had been dead for countless years, their bodies remained relatively intact, even somewhat withered, yet they still possessed terrifying divine might.
"Jiji jiji..."
The ghost path being standing on Long Chen's shoulder started chirping at him, speaking and gesturing at the same time. Their small hands sometimes clenched together, sometimes forming an embrace.
"It says there are many places like this here, meaning here is small, and there are even bigger ones." Long Chen explained.
Only then did everyone understand: 'two hands pressed together' means 'small', while 'spread' means 'big'. These ghostly beings are quite interesting.
"It also said that the largest place is guarded by terrifying evil corpses. Their companions have been eaten by evil corpses before, warning us to be careful." Long Chen continued.
"Evil corpses can eat ghost realm beings?" Mo Nian was taken aback.
Long Chen looked at the ghostly being, who continued talking and gesturing, repeatedly pointing at his own eyes, then opened his mouth wide, baring two fangs, and pretended to be fierce.
"It says there are evil corpses inside that can see them. They have special abilities and will devour them like mice." Long Chen explained.
Seeing the terrified expression on this ghostly being's face, it was clear they were very afraid of those evil corpses.
When everyone arrived at this open area, the walls were dotted with grooves, each containing a corpse. They glanced around but found no bodies of human powerhouses.
"Demon Clan, Blood Clan, Nether Clan, Ghost Clan, Orcs..." Mo Nian looked at these corpses, continuously identifying their races.
"Whew."
When Mo Nian approached a powerful half-orc, the half-orc suddenly opened its eyes and jumped down from the wall. Mo Nian was shocked and instinctively struck with his shovel.
