Chapter 1304: The Big Tomb
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The sky had dimmed, and starlights reflected in the small river.
Wutong slowly spoke, “Master, a few days ago, a big tomb suddenly appeared on the Barbarian King Mountain. I don’t know who the owner of the big tomb is. A few days ago, I went there to investigate, but I didn’t have the chance to enter.”
“There’s such a thing?” Ou Yangming was a little surprised.
“Why can’t you enter?” Wutong was in the third step. Was there still a place in the Great Wide World that could stop him?
Wutong bitterly smiled and said, “There’s a powerful puppet guarding the tomb. I fought with it a few times and realized that I couldn’t defeat it, so I could only give up.”
If it was any other time, Wutong might have risked his life to check it out.
After all, the sudden appearance of this big tomb was very strange. It was very likely related to the miraculous changes in the Barbarian King Mountain. Nonetheless, Wutong still had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Ou Yangming and his family. If he did not have absolute confidence, he would not dare to take the risk.
There was a puppet that was comparable to the third step guarding outside. No one knew what was inside.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
The secret of the Barbarian King Mountain had not been solved for countless years. Perhaps it had something to do with the sudden appearance of this big tomb.
Now that the great calamity was about to arrive, this big tomb suddenly appeared. Could it be some sort of premonition?
The old man and the others were quite strong, and they had a second-step powerhouse like Big Yellow guarding them. In addition, there was a Big 10,000 Wood Formation set up by Wutong around them. Ordinary people would not be able to enter at all unless it was a third-step powerhouse.
How could there be so many third-step powerhouses in this world?
Ou Yangming and Wutong flashed and disappeared.
Nobody could use one’s divine sense on the Barbarian King Mountain, not even Ou Yangming could do it. If it was not for Wutong telling him about the big tomb, he would have ignored its existence.
After a short moment, a huge mountain appeared in front of them.
It protruded out, forming a straight line. One side was very wide, and the other side was very narrow. It really looked like a big tomb.
The rocks around the mountain were brand new.
Ou Yangming and Wutong flew high up and saw everything below.
“Hey, someone already came first.” Wutong looked into the distance and said in surprise.
This big tomb had only appeared for a few days. He did not expect that someone would come here first. Nonetheless, those people were obviously not strong enough. It was probably impossible for them to enter.
Ou Yangming laughed. “There are so many capable people in the Great Wide World. It’s not a big deal for others to discover what we did. Besides, there are so many powerhouses living in seclusion here on the Barbarian King Mountain. It’s normal for someone to coincidentally discover it.”
“That’s true.” Wutong looked ahead.
“Master, should we go over?” Ou Yangming shook his head.
“Let’s observe for a while. Don’t let those people see us.”
As Ou Yangming spoke, his body merged into the void, and Wutong similarly hid. Even mighty figures in the third step would not be able to discover them unless their spiritual senses were exceptionally sharp.
Outside the big tomb, there were 3 men and 2 women. There were a total of 5 people. The 5 of them were dressed very plainly. They should be the recluses of the Barbarian King Mountain.
Their strengths were not bad. They were all in the second step.
“Brother Duan He, what should we do now?” A big man with a full beard looked at the grey-robed man who was holding a big saber in his hand not far away.
The 5 of them had tried. Even if the 5 of them joined hands, they could not break through the puppet’s defense. If it was not for the puppet being unable to leave the cave’s range of 100 meters, they would have long been killed.
Duan He’s gaze flickered as he looked ahead. After a moment, he laughed bitterly and said, “With our strengths, it’s impossible for us to enter. There might be shocking treasures in the tomb, but I’m afraid we won’t have the luck to snatch them.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They knew that this was the truth.
Even if the 5 of them joined hands, they would not be able to enter the door. Even if there was a treasury ahead, it would be useless.
“We have 2 choices now. The first is that we leave this place first and seal off the news about it. We won’t let anyone know about the changes here. When one of us breaks through to the third step, we’ll come here again. At that time, those who take away the treasures will have to give a portion to the others.” Duan He looked at everyone.
Everyone was seriously considering this problem. With their strengths, it was not difficult for them to seal off this area. There were quite a few powerhouses living in seclusion on the Barbarian King Mountain. They were all the best of the best. The rest were only Rulers or in the law boundary. As long as Duan He and his companions were careful, they could protect this place.
The problem was breaking through to the third step.
If the third step was so easy to break through, they would not have to live in seclusion and focus on cultivation for so long.
The third step was very difficult. None of them dared to guarantee that they would be able to break through. Even if someone happened to do it, how many years would it take?
Would this tomb always exist here? Would it suddenly disappear like before?
No one could answer these questions.
“Duan He, what’s the second choice?” A woman asked.
Duan He spoke again. “The second choice is for us to tell Ruler Shanhai the news.”
Everyone’s expressions changed slightly. If they told someone else the news, it meant that they would have to hand over the treasure.
No one refuted Duan He. Instead, they continued to listen to him first.
“With our strengths, we won’t be able to enter. I’m afraid only third-step powerhouses will be able to enter. Ruler Shanhai is the ruler of the Shanhai Continent. I’ve interacted with him a few times, and he’s a person who values friendship and loyalty. We’ll tell him the news and ask him to promise us some benefits. That way, we won’t have to return empty-handed.”
Duan He voiced out his thoughts.
After a moment, he continued, “As for what we choose in the end, the minority will follow the majority.”
The 5 analyzed the pros and cons of these 2 methods.
After a while, Duan He said, “Those who agree to tell the news to Ruler Shanhai, raise your hands.”
The bearded man raised his hand, and so did a woman. The other 2 were still a little hesitant, but this was not a big deal. 2 of them had agreed, and there were a total of 3 people including Duan He.
“If we tell Ruler Shanhai, how much should we ask from him?” The woman who hesitated asked.
Duan He thought for a moment and said, “At least 20%. 20% is my bottom line. If Ruler Shanhai agrees, I’ll tell him this news.”
% was actually not bad. After all, no one knew what was inside the tomb or what dangers there were. They were just people who provided information.
“If that’s the case, I agree.”
“Me too.”
The 5 of them came to an agreement. They could not enter, so they could only ask people who could.
Duan He took out a token and communicated with the person on the other end.
After a moment, he said, “Ruler Shanhai has already agreed to give us 20% of the share. Should we tell him the location?”
“Go ahead.” The few of them nodded.
They had lived in seclusion here for a long time, and Ruler Shanhai was still a trustworthy person. Furthermore, a third-step powerhouse cherished his reputation and would not break his promise.
% was not much, and Ruler Shanhai did not need to sacrifice his reputation.
In less than 8 minutes, a figure appeared in the sky.
This person wore a light green robe. After seeing Duan He and the others, he landed lightly.
“Greetings, Ruler Shanhai.” Duan He hurriedly bowed.
“Greetings, Ruler Shanhai.” The others also respectfully cupped their hands.
A powerhouse in the third step was the most formidable existence in the Great Wide World. In the Shanhai Continent, Ruler Shanhai was the only person.
“There’s no need for formalities.” Ruler Shanhai raised his hand slightly.
He looked at the tomb in front of him with a warm smile on his face.
Duan He said, “I’ve told you the general situation. “We discovered this place 3 days ago. It’s very strange as if it appeared out of thin air. Besides, there’s a powerful puppet guarding it. We wanted to enter, but that guy blocked us.”
“There are so many of you, but you’re still no match for a puppet?” Ruler Shanhai’s eyes were filled with curiosity. These people were all powerhouses in the second step. In the outside world, they were all famous figures.
“Sir, that puppet is incredibly powerful. We’re indeed no match for it.” Duan He felt slightly ashamed.
“Hahaha.” Ruler Shanhai laughed loudly, relieving everyone’s awkwardness. He laughed and said, “I want to see what kind of puppet can be so powerful. If there really are treasures in this place, 20% of them will belong to you.”
“Many thanks, sir.” The few of them had joyful expressions on their faces.
Ruler Shanhai took a few steps forward, and the mountain wall suddenly shook. A Rock Giant walked out from the rock beside the door.
The giant was over 100 meters tall, and he held a huge stone saber in his hand. His eyeballs were also made of stone, and he stared at Ruler Shanhai expressionlessly.
Although Ruler Shanhai was a little surprised, his eyes were still smiling.
Duan He was right. This place was indeed very magical.
Ruler Shanhai took a few steps forward, and the Rock Giant shook his wrist. He suddenly swung his large saber, slashing toward Ruler Shanhai’s head.
This move was incomparably fierce.
At first, Ruler Shanhai did not think much of it but after seeing this move, his gaze became serious.
What a powerful aura!
A wide treasure sword appeared in his hand, and he blocked it toward the sky.
“Clang…” The ground began to shake.
Cracks appeared on the ground beneath Ruler Shanhai’s feet, and bottomless ravines appeared like spider webs. Only the area around the tomb remained unchanged. It was as if no matter how strong the battle was, it would not be able to affect the area.
“So strong!” Ruler Shanhai felt his chest tighten.
He had originally planned to test the strength of this puppet, but he did not expect that he would go too far.
This fellow’s strength was too terrifying!
With a whooshing sound, Ruler Shanhai’s robe fell to the ground.
He used the Golden Cicada Breaks the Shell and quickly flew into the sky.
