Ling Han also walked over to observe this corpse.
This looked very similar to a human, but was definitely not a human.
It was not because it was too tall, but rather that the details of its head, hands, feet and so on were very far from that of humans.
“Werewolf or Pantherman,” someone said.
The part of the mouth protruded, and the fingernails on his hands and feet were long and sharp. He completely looked like a beastman that had not completely taken human form.
“En.” The others all expressed their agreement.
In the past, there had been many werewolves or panthermen living here. It was also possible that the beastmen had destroyed the residents here. Was this the corpse of an invader?
“Worthless,” someone said with a shake of their head.
The others all shook their heads. Indeed, what did such a corpse reveal? What clues could it give?
“More importantly, where did those people go?” someone asked.
“I took a look. This is a dead end valley, and there is no other way to leave.”
“Moreover, we didn’t find any crossroads along the way.
“That’s strange.”
Everyone was puzzled, and a strong feeling of confusion rose up in them.
“Hehe, are you guys looking for me?” A voice rang out, causing everyone to turn around and look.
A man was striding over, a smile on his face.
“You are Xu Guanglin!”
“Didn’t you pa.s.s the formation of rocks long ago?”
“That’s right. You are not from our batch.”
A great many people recognized this man, and immediately called out his ident.i.ty.
“Xu Guanglin, where did you come from?”
“Where are the others?”
Everyone was talking at once.
Xu Guanglin smiled slightly, “Come with me. I will bring you to a place, and the mystery will naturally be solved.”
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if this was a trap.
However, they hadn’t obtained the inheritance of the Saint, so what was the point of Xu Guanglin harming them? Moreover, their strength wasn’t weak, so what need was there for them to be afraid? Moreover, they had already entered a dead end, so there was nothing better to do here.
“Let’s go.”
Everyone followed Xu Guanglin, and saw that this guy had brought them into a stone house. He moved aside the stone bed inside, and a secret pa.s.sage actually appeared.
Oh, no wonder this guy had suddenly popped out. As it turned out, it was because there was a secret pa.s.sage through which they could go.
Xu Guanglin took the lead, and everyone followed behind him.
The tunnel was very long, and after walking for half an hour, they finally walked out of the secret pa.s.sage. Suddenly, the path ahead of them became clear, revealing a small valley. There was flowing water, and colorful stones were glowing.
“Welcome to… the Holy Land of the Wolf Tribe!” Xu Guanglin turned around and said to everyone.
Holy Land of the Wolf Tribe?
Was that the Werewolf Valley before? Then the one who had died was also a Werewolf?
“Come, follow me. You guys will soon unravel all the mysteries.” Xu Guanglin smiled, and continued to lead the way.
Not long after, they saw a large group of people either sitting or standing, or pacing back and forth.
These were all people who had pa.s.sed through the stone formation earlier and entered into this s.p.a.ce.
Everyone greeted each other. There were a great many people here that knew each other. Some had even formed alliances before, but they had been separated after entering this place, and did not get together.
Ling Han swept his gaze around, but did not see Zhuang Bufan.
Yi, where was this guy?
What exactly is going on here?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
Don’t be impatient. Someone will answer your questions.”
“Who?”
“This old man.” An old voice rang out, causing those who had just arrived to all turn to look at him.
This was a tall, broad-shouldered man. His whole body was enshrouded in a cloak, and he was as tall as ten feet. He was a few heads taller than the majority of people. Wherever he stood, anyone would lose their l.u.s.ter from his brilliance.
His left hand held a black walking stick, which seemed to be extremely heavy. When it landed on the ground, it emitted a m.u.f.fled ‘tong’, and the whole valley shook.
Ling Han swept an eye over him, and could already see that this man’s left hand that was holding a walking stick was furry, and the tips of his fingers were extraordinarily long, like small knives.
“I am the High Priest of the Wolf Tribe.” This tall man stopped, and used his right hand to remove the cloak on his head, revealing a furry face.
This was basically a wolf’s head, its yellow-green eyes exuding a strange light.
Ling Han activated his ocular technique, yet shockingly discovered that he actually couldn’t see through this wolfman’s cultivation level.
This glance was actually discovered by the High Priest of the Wolf Tribe. He too turned to look at Ling Han, but his gaze did not stop on him. He just swept a glance over Ling Han and then looked away.
“You guys must be very curious. Fine, this old man will explain it to you.”
This High Priest of the Wolf Tribe began to speak.
“Our Wolf Tribe has lived here for generations, but many years ago, a plague swept over, causing almost all the citizens of our Wolf Tribe to die. To preserve the flame of hope, my ancestors sealed the surviving young children, and when we found the solution to the plague, only then would we unseal them.”
“And according to the Divine Decress, the hopes of the Wolf Tribe would be placed on you brave warriors from outside.”
Enter the Sky Suspension Cave and retrieve the G.o.dly medicine!”
Of course, there’s also something you guys need there.”
When Ling Han and the others heard this, tsk, tsk, tsk, asn’t this the standard setting of an ancient site?
What Divine Decree? It must have been the Ancient Sun Saint who had brainwashed them when he had created or drawn in these wolves, and had them act as guides for this place.
This was an arrangement of the script, and the script was written by the Ancient Sun Saint.
They naturally would not reveal it, because the High Priest of the Wolf Tribe may not believe them. Instead, it would destroy the High Priest’s hopes, and cause him to fly into a humiliated rage.
Thus, everyone should act according to the script.
“There’s something that you guys need.” That would definitely be referring to the inheritance of the Saint.
Everyone was eager to give it a try, wanting nothing more than to immediately move out, but the High Priest of the Wolf Tribe told them not to be anxious. According to convention, they would have to wait for a while longer, so that more people could come here, and move together.
Alright, those who entered first indeed did not have much of an advantage.
It couldn’t be helped. One couldn’t hold a saber to the neck of the High Priest of the Wolf Tribe and make him reveal the location of the Sky Suspension Cave right?
Thus, Ling Han and the others were the same as those who had entered first.
They were either sitting, standing, or pacing around. They were extremely bored.
Ling Han wasn’t so worried. He sat down in a cross-legged position and continued to deduce formation patterns. He was still far from grasping all the formation patterns.
Day after day, time pa.s.sed very quickly.
People came one after another, and the High Priest of the Wolf Tribe would suddenly appear, saying that a new batch of warriors had entered into the Werewolf Valley, and wanted them to go and receive them. Then, what Ling Han and the others experienced previously would be repeated.
And just like that, another half month’s time had pa.s.sed, and the High Priest of the Wolf Tribe finally walked out again.
“It’s about time,” he said. His yellow-green eyes seemed to be exuding light, appearing to be extremely excited, “Whether our Wolf Tribe can revive or not will depend on you guys.”
Rest a.s.sured, High Priest, we will definitely do our best,” someone immediately said. They did not need to expend anything to curry the favour of a storyline character. Who knows, they may be able to gain additional marks, and gain some benefits in future.
“Come with me..”
