Chapter 2115: Relics Under the Tomb
"Are you sure it's here?" Isabella asked the people around her, looking at the entrance to the cemetery in front of her.
The person who joined Isabella at this time was none other than Xi. After receiving the tip from Lin Jiu, Xi paid close attention to the clues of the relics of the gods, and she actually found a relic of the gods.
Following the clues, we found the Cemetery of the Undead. The Cemetery of the Undead is the territory of the Undead clan and the location of the remains of gods. It is buried in an underground palace below the cemetery. It is not easy to enter this place.
But she was also lucky enough to meet Isabella who was active in the Undead Cemetery. Isabella's natural advantages allowed her to get along well in the Undead Cemetery. After meeting Xi, they explored the ruins of the gods together.
"Well, according to the clues, it is here. This outer shell tomb should be just a cover." Xi analyzed. There may be relics of gods everywhere in the Yimi Continent. Some gods will leave relics, while others may leave nothing.
But what is certain is that during the Age of Gods, the areas where gods were most active were where humans lived, that is, the areas where humans lived, and the possibility of the existence of relics of gods was the highest.
As for why they went to the Cemetery of the Dead to look for the remains of the gods, it was naturally because the area where the Cemetery of the Dead was located was the area where humans lived during the period of the gods. The Holy Empire of human power today was a territory that was opened up later. At least half of the current Cemetery of the Dead was once called the Tis Empire.
That is, the kingdom where the Skeleton King lived, after the fall, the people who turned into undead merged into the undead tribe. In order not to give the territory of their kingdom to the enemy, they simply turned it into the territory of the undead tribe. Winning the war but not being able to gain territory is also very uncomfortable for the winner.
The two focused their attention on the tomb in front of them. The ground of the cemetery of the dead was filled with tombstones, and underground, it was made up of a huge group of tombs. The tomb in front of them was just an insignificant one among the tombs.
At the entrance, a number of stone tablets eroded by time stood silently, engraved with unrecognizable runes and patterns, as if telling the past glory and sorrow. The stone door was half-closed, revealing a cold and dull atmosphere, as if it was a portal to another world.
The two of them walked through the stone door and entered the tomb. The surroundings suddenly became dark. Only the faint fluorescent moss flickered in the cracks of the stone wall, bringing a strange light to this dead place. The air was filled with a strange smell mixed with wet soil, mold and unknown spices, which made people frown involuntarily.
On both sides of the tomb passage, there are stone statues of various shapes, some holding weapons, some closing their eyes in contemplation, with serious and solemn faces, as if guarding this sleeping place. Some of the stone statues have been smoothed by the wind and sand of time, leaving only vague outlines, while others still retain clear carvings.
Going deep into the cemetery, you can see stone coffins lying quietly. Some are covered with beautifully carved stone slabs with the names and life stories of the deceased engraved on them, while many are simple and plain, leaving only a blank space, as if even time has forgotten their existence. Around the stone coffins, there are scattered all kinds of funerary objects: broken pottery jars, rusted metal ornaments.
A gust of wind came from nowhere and echoed in the tomb, accompanied by the sound of slight stone chips falling.
"There are additional ventilation holes... I think if there are any relics of gods, they may be underneath." Isabella felt the wind and thought. She also knew about the experience of Lin Jiu's reincarnation clone Qing in this original world. The underground palace that Qing experienced was most likely a relic set up by the gods who controlled the power of time in this world.
The remains of the gods that Xi is looking for are also underground, and can be called underground palaces. Perhaps from the beginning, the remains of the gods existed in the form of underground palaces. The tombs of the cemetery of the dead appeared later, so the tombs may be above the underground palaces of the remains of the gods.
"Found it!" Xi's way of finding the entrance to the underground palace was very simple and crude, which was to directly crystallize the tomb where he was, turning the unfamiliar place into an area under his control, and naturally he could easily find the entrance to the underground palace.
The moment Isabella entered the underground palace, Lin Jiu, who was far away in the Dusk Jungle, received a prompt.
【Discover the hidden map: ? ? Underground Palace. 】
[During the first Elemental Cataclysm, some beings built an underground palace that seemed to hide some secrets. You need to explore it yourself.]
[Exploration progress: 1%. ]
[Tip: When the exploration progress reaches 100%, you will get extra rewards. ]
……
Lin Jiu immediately inquired about the situation and learned that Isabella had actually gone with Xi and was currently exploring an underground palace that was suspected to be the remains of gods.
The two people who entered the underground palace could see that on the wall of the palace, at regular intervals, there was a crystal similar to a night pearl inlaid in front of it, serving as the light source in the palace.
After Isabella and Xi entered the underground palace from the entrance, they arrived at a room surrounded by thick stone walls. The stone walls were very hard and thick. Xi tested the stone walls and attacked them briefly. Except for the splash of dust, there was no change. The room didn't even shake. It can be seen that the stone walls are very thick.
This was not unexpected at all. Otherwise, how could this underground palace have survived from before the first elemental catastrophe until now? Because of the light source, the two of them could see a little bit of the outside through the exit. It looked like a long corridor.
Walking out of this room, you can see that this is the end of the corridor. Looking back, the corridor is about a hundred meters long, with stone walls on both sides, also inlaid with light stones. It is impossible to judge how big this underground palace is, and how many floors it has.
When Xi and Lin Jiu were in the same world, it was more convenient to contact each other and they could communicate through their minds at any time, but she didn't like to communicate with Lin Jiu. Isabella told Lin Jiu about their entry into the underground palace ruins in the adventure group communication channel.
According to Isabella's description, Lin Jiu suddenly remembered that the design of this underground palace was very similar to the underground palace that Qing had visited at the beginning, so he fed this idea back to Isabella.
"That reminds me. In the Age of Gods, there was a god who was advanced from a human being. His name was Heros..." Xi also grasped the key clue. Because she had been paying attention to the traces of gods, she specially investigated the stories of the Age of Gods and learned of such an existence. She guessed that most of the existing relics of gods might have come from this Heros.
"Heros, who showed amazing talent in the field of mechanical engineering, lived in an era that later generations called "the era of being on par with gods". Buildings were taller than one another, and people used the magic bestowed by gods at will, competing for gorgeous materials, and indulging in flashy forms... When Heros realized the true meaning of creation, a new god was born. People called him the God of Creation, or the God of Craftsmen."
Xi thought about this story. These underground palaces of the gods' relics were all designed by Heros, so the general design should be the same. The information about the underground palaces that Isabella got from Qing could play a part.
