Chapter 211: Creation Furnace
Sang Luo walked closer and saw that the stone tablet was engraved with densely packed names.
"These are the orcs who died in the war. I don't know who carved their names. They have left a trace in this world." Lou Xianyue held her in his arms and walked forward.
Passing through the forest of stone tablets, we arrived at the mass grave.
Countless corpses were buried.
These corpses still retain their appearance before death. Some orcs are attacking with swords, some are defending with shields, some are fighting in primitive beast forms, some are fighting in pairs, and some are besieging one person... There are various postures, all frozen in the last moment of their lives.
The orcs showed no fear, as if they were unaware that death was approaching.
There is only one explanation.
They died suddenly in an instant.
It is conceivable what a terrifying force it is that can take away the lives of so many powerful orc warriors in an instant.
This mass grave had never been visited by anyone before, and there were no signs of destruction nearby. The dead still had Qiankun bags and space rings hanging on their bodies and clothes, which had not been taken away by tomb robbers.
Lou Xianyue said, "The souls of these corpses have long since dissipated, and the things on their bodies are all ownerless. However, there are a few noteworthy items that can be taken away."
"It's unlucky to touch the things of a dead person!" Sang Luo didn't dare to touch it.
Lou Xianyue didn't dislike it at all and accepted them all.
Raising children costs money.
He also learned to be frugal and would not hesitate to take anything that was worthless.
He threw out another string of prayer beads and chanted the mantra for rebirth, and all the corpses disappeared.
Not far ahead, only an armored orc was still standing there, with his back to the two men, half-kneeling on the ground, his heavy sword stuck in the ground. It could be vaguely seen that the deceased was a burly and powerful orc in his lifetime.
Sang Luo walked over and saw the white bones of a skeleton with broad bones inside the armor.
In the other hand of the skeleton was a candle that had not yet been lit.
This candle... doesn't look like something that would appear in a mass grave.
"This man's attire is different from the other orc warriors. I think he was a remarkable figure in his lifetime. The armor he wears resembles that worn by a general. There's a totem printed on his chest armor: a shark with three tails... a family totem?"
Lou Xianyue understood, "I know who he is."
Sang Luo looked over.
He said, "Thousands of years ago, a powerful general named Triple-Tailed Shark emerged from the North Sea. He possessed the strength of a Beast King, was brutal and bloodthirsty, and loved to collect the skulls of orcs from all races to demonstrate his illustrious military exploits."
"He captured mermen from all over the land, and countless mermen died at his hands. He even killed a pre-mature offspring of a king mermaid and cruelly refined it into an immortal candle. However, legend has it that he suddenly disappeared one day, and there has been no news since. It is unknown whether he is alive or dead... I didn't expect that he would die in this land of bones."
"That power instantly took the life of a Beast King?" Sang Luo looked at the candle in the skeleton's hand again, "Could this candle be..."
"Well, he made the immortality candle with the body oil of the mermaid."
“…That’s too perverted!”
"Legend has it that the immortal candles refined by mermaids have the ability to communicate with gods. He must have encountered something extremely frightening in the tomb during his lifetime, or was trapped in it and unable to leave, so he took out the immortal candle and prayed for the gods to come." Just as Lou Xianyue took the candle, the corpse and armor disappeared together.
At the same time, a black, smelly gas quickly spread, which was corpse poison.
"Sang'er, use the power of the Invincible Fire to light the Candle of Eternal Life."
Sang Luo quickly took the candle handed to him by Lou Xianyue. The pale red flame ignited in the deep sea, dancing brightly, lighting the longevity candle that had been sealed for ten thousand years.
The black gas quickly dissipated.
An ancient, heavy door appeared on the stone wall at some point.
Lou Xianyue stepped forward and pushed open the stone door.
The opposite side was not an exit, but a cave, and the space inside was extremely cramped and narrow.
There is a shrine on the stone platform. It has long been faded and covered with dust, and the wood has almost rotted away. It is impossible to tell what it looked like before.
The statue inside is headless, so I don’t know who it is worshipping.
There is only a faded incense burner in front of the shrine, and three incense sticks next to it.
"I don't know who you are, and I apologize for bothering you unintentionally." Sang Luo lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, but still felt that something was missing. She glanced at the longevity candle in her hand, and then looked at Lou Xianyue.
He nodded at her.
Sang Luo placed the longevity candle in front of the shrine, put his palms together, and bowed on his forehead.
The smoke curled up and seemed to slowly transform into a human figure...
An ancient and hoary voice came from my mind.
"I have waited for so many years, and finally I have waited for the first younger generation who can find this place. As long as you fulfill my wish, I will pass it on to you."
Sang Luo widened his eyes and looked at Lou Xianyue, "Aze, did you hear an old man's voice?!"
Lou Xianyue shook his head, "Did you hear it?"
"This old man said that if I fulfilled his wish, he would give me a legacy. How come this development sounds a bit like a plot about an evil cultivator taking over another's body?"
"Oh, the one that can be worshipped in the shrine by future generations must be a deceased ancient mythical beast. The sound you heard may be a trace of his lingering thoughts."
"Do you want to agree?" The inheritance of the mythical beast is quite attractive.
"Go ask him what his wish is, what does he want to exchange with you?"
Sang Luo continued to talk to the voice in his mind.
"I wonder what wish Senior wants me to fulfill?"
"Help me kill one man, Wanqi You!"
Sang Luo repeated everything to Lou Xianyue, "Wanqi You, he asked me to help him kill this person, who must have been his enemy in his previous life."
"I've never heard of this name." Lou Xianyue frowned. "It's been who knows how many years since this senior passed away, and we don't know if his enemy is still alive. Besides, matters of murder and revenge can be big or small. If the opponent is far more powerful than you or me, this matter will be a dangerous burden for you, an unnecessary karma. It's better to be careful."
Sang Luo originally wanted to ask the old man what kind of reward he could offer, but after hearing what Lou Xianyue said, it seemed very reasonable.
She shook her head. "Forget it. It's not safe. Let's go. I don't need this inheritance."
"Wait! Wait, young junior, don't leave yet. This remnant soul of mine won't have much time left. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the next person to come."
Seeing that the two did not turn back, the remnant soul was very anxious, "At least take a look at the things before leaving. As long as you help me fulfill my last wish, this thing will be yours!"
In front of the two of them, a nine-legged cauldron appeared out of thin air, emitting dazzling golden light all over. It was extremely extraordinary and completely out of place in this dilapidated cave.
Lou Xianyue's eyes lit up, "Nine-legged... Creation Furnace!"
This was the first time that Sang Luo saw him express such exclamation. Aze himself was a weapon refiner and had refined countless treasures. It was rare for him to be so excited about a weapon.
"Is it a big baby?"
"Yes, the divine treasure, the Creation Furnace, contains the laws of life and can bring people back to life."
I have updated one chapter first. The next chapter has a big plot, so I will write it tomorrow when my mind is clearer!
