Chapter 838
The human face had all the facial features and its eyes were closed. Unlike ordinary stone masks, this face on the stone had a sense of life that masks did not have, as if it would close its eyes and come alive at any time.
Everyone looked at the face on the stone vigilantly. On the stone platform next to it, a man from the Zhang family suddenly jumped down.
This was so unexpected that no one expected it and no one had time to react. By the time they discovered it, the man had already jumped from the platform to the ground.
The ground was covered with magic stones. After the man fell to the ground, the moment his legs touched the ground, the shoes on his feet strangely turned into magic stones, and his calves also quickly turned into magic stones. In just two seconds, his calves were completely turned into magic stones.
Everything happened so fast that only Zhang Chunqiu reacted in time. He used his hand as a knife and swung a blade directly into the air, cutting off the petrified legs of the demon. He reached out and pulled him back onto the stone platform.
The man seemed to have just come to his senses at this moment, screaming miserably, his legs bleeding continuously.
"Stop the bleeding and heal his wound." Zhang Chunqiu gave the order, but he was staring at the leg on the ground that had completely turned into magic stone.
The legs just stood on the ground, connected to the magic stone, as if they had become a part of the magic stone. It was so weird that it made people's scalp tingle.
Although Zhou Wen really wanted to ask what was going on, now was obviously not the time to ask these questions. He used Di Ting to scan the demon tomb and those demon stones, but found nothing unusual. He just felt that there was vitality flowing in the demon stones, and there was nothing else special.
"Zhou Wen, you should go back first. The situation in the Demon Tomb has changed. It is too dangerous. Please avoid any accidents." Zhang Chunqiu said to Zhou Wen.
Although Zhou Wen really wanted to take a picture of the small hand pattern on the Demon Tomb, in this situation, he could no longer request to take a photo. He could only listen to Zhang Chunqiu and leave here first.
The trouble at the Demon Tomb seemed to be a bit serious. When the Zhang family took Zhou Wen away, Zhou Wen could see people from the Zhang family constantly rushing towards the location of the Demon Tomb, presumably to provide reinforcements.
Zhou Wen didn't know what the situation was with the Demonic Tomb, so he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
When Zhou Wen returned to the Tianshi Mansion, he kept thinking about the Demon Tomb and that strange face, wondering what it was.
It looked like a part of a magic stone, or maybe some kind of dimensional creature. Zhou Wen couldn't be sure.
And this seemed to be just the beginning of the nightmare. In the next few days, it was obvious that the entire Zhang family was in a tense state. People kept leaving Tianfu Master, and nine out of ten were heading to the Demon Tomb.
"Yuzhi, what's the situation at the Demonic Tomb?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhang Yuzhi again.
"The situation is very bad. Since the day before yesterday, people have been trying to jump into the Demonic Tomb every day. Although they have been rescued in the end, this situation is becoming more and more frequent, and we can't find the cause or ask any questions. If we can't find the cause, I'm afraid there will be big trouble.
"Have you ever tried to smash the face on the magic stone?" Zhou Wen asked.
"It's useless. It will grow back after being broken. Moreover, after the magic stone was broken, stone faces grew out in other places. Now there are seven stone faces in the magic tomb.
Zhou Wen knew that the Zhang family was in real trouble this time. If the problem could not be resolved, more and more people would want to jump in. In the end, the entire Zhang family might be wiped out.
"Can you tell me what's going on with that demonic tomb? If it's not convenient to tell me, forget it." Zhou Wen asked.
Zhang Yuzhi hesitated for a moment before whispering to Zhou Wen, "I'll tell you this, but don't tell anyone. Legend has it that our Zhang family's ancestor was buried in a Feng Shui treasure cave, and with the help of this Feng Shui treasure cave, a Heavenly Master was born. But that's not true. Our Zhang family did find a Feng Shui cave, but we didn't find it to be buried there ourselves, but to prevent the things inside from coming out."
"What do you mean? Do you mean that people have been buried there for a long time?" Zhou Wen asked in confusion.
"To be precise, it's not a human, but a Ba," said Zhang Yuzhi.
"Ba? Is it a kind of zombie?" Zhou Wen seemed to have heard of this monster, but he didn't know much about it. He felt that it seemed to be related to zombies.
"People often confuse Ba with zombies, but they are actually not the same thing. In mythology, Ba is a goddess from heaven who descended to earth to help the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You. However, because her divine power was exhausted, she could not return to heaven, so she could only sleep beneath the earth, waiting for the day when her divine power would be restored and she could return to heaven."
Zhang Yuzhi paused, then continued, "Ba originally descended to the mortal world to deal with the God of Wind and the God of Rain. Even the storm seemed to be on fire before Ba. Even the God of Wind and the God of Rain combined were no match for Ba, which shows how formidable her divine power is. Ba sleeps underground. Once her divine power is restored and she awakens from her slumber, or if someone disturbs her and wakes her, her divine power will emanate, causing drought and barren land for thousands of miles. That's why she's also called the Drought Ba, a terrifying being."
"Back then, our ancestors discovered that the Chi sleeping underground was about to awaken, so they guarded the tomb to prevent Ba from emerging. People mistakenly thought they had found a Feng Shui treasure cave. Over the years, our Zhang family has been guarding the Demon Tomb to prevent Ba from emerging. However, with the advent of the extra-dimensional storm, the power within the Demon Tomb has grown stronger. How much longer our Zhang family can guard it, even we ourselves don't know. It's only a matter of time before the ban is broken."
"It existed in the world before the dimensional storm. Is there really such a creature as Ba?" Zhou Wen was a little shocked.
It is not surprising that any kind of creature appears after the dimensional storm, but it is really surprising that the Zhang family had already begun to guard the Ba before the dimensional storm in ancient times.
"I don't know if there really is a Ba, but there are definitely incredible things in the Demon Tomb. Over the years, strange things have frequently occurred in the Demon Tomb. If it weren't for my Zhang family's desperate efforts to guard it, I'm afraid the area near Longhu Mountain would have been devastated long ago." Zhang Yuzhi said.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuzhi stood up and prepared to leave: "I have to go out for a few days. When I'm not at the Tianshi Mansion, please don't move around casually, so as to avoid misunderstandings."
"Where are you going?" Zhou Wen was very curious. What was Zhang Yuzhi doing going out at this time?
The Demonic Tomb is extremely dangerous, so Zhang Yuzhi should stay in the Tianshi Mansion to help.
"I want to go with my brothers to kill the dimensional creatures." Zhang Yuzhi said.
Zhou Wen remembered Zhang Yuzhi's fate and said to him, "Actually, I have a golden apple that can change a person's fate without any side effects. Do you want to try it?"
Zhang Yuzhi was delighted at first, but then shook his head and said, "No need. I'm such a useless person, this is all I can do to help you."
