Chapter 1456: Coming

When he heard the word "why", Ye Linglong was stunned on the spot.

The eldest sister raised a question, and the eldest brother-in-law then asked why, there were only three people here, so did she have to answer this question?

“So you don’t know why?”

"I don't know." Yu Honglan said as a matter of course: "You are the smartest among us. If there is anyone who can figure this out, it must be you."

…

I appreciate the trust of my senior sister and brother-in-law, but I don't have any clues at hand. Do I have to imagine an answer out of thin air?

"What if I can't think of it?"

"Then don't worry about it." Yu Honglan was very open-minded: "That happened many years ago. What does it have to do with us? Whether we know it or not, it won't affect our preparations to deal with the demons at any time in the future."

Ye Linglong chuckled upon hearing this, she is worthy of being the eldest senior sister, when in doubt, she resolves things with her fists, she is broad-minded and optimistic, fierce but gentle.

"Your senior sister is right." Yan Jingyi finished speaking, and then he leaned over to Ye Linglong and added in a low voice: "I dare not be wrong."

After adding this sentence, Ye Linglong laughed even more happily.

But after laughing, Ye Linglong began to look curiously at the temple that had been mostly destroyed, and the collapsed statue inside the temple.

Only then did Ye Linglong realize that this statue had no facial features.

Even though its body is covered with scars, one can still see that every part of it is carved very finely, except for its face, which is completely white and has no carvings at all.

This was not destroyed after the war; it was never carved in the first place.

That's very strange.

It is unreasonable to build such a huge palace and carve such a large statue, taking so much time and effort, but in the end not carve the facial features.

Because it is common sense that when worshipping a statue, the identity of the statue must be confirmed. If the identity is confirmed, how can it have no facial features?

Unless, its identity is unknown.

But this is also very strange. Why would they build such a large statue and spend so much energy on it if their identity is unknown?

Why did the demons choose to start the war on the gods' territory?

Ye Linglong shifted his gaze from the fallen statue and walked towards the collapsed walls around him.

There were murals carved on the walls, but they were destroyed in the great war between gods and demons in ancient times, and the murals are almost completely invisible.

But fortunately, she found two fragments close to each other on the ground, with complete ancient characters on them, and she recognized both of them.

"Coming."

Seeing that she had made some discovery, Yu Honglan and Yan Jingyi also came over. The three of them squatted together and looked down at the two fragments of text.

"What is coming?"

"The rare complete words left on the wall are "coming". The statues have no facial features. Could it be that they are waiting for something to come?"

After Ye Linglong finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. Yu Honglan and Yan Jingyi also looked at these two words curiously.

At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from behind: "Eldest Senior Sister, Younger Junior Sister, Brother-in-law, are you all right?"

Then a lot of footsteps were heard from outside. It should be the three tribes that had finished the battle walking into the last palace from outside.

Ye Linglong, Yu Honglan and Yan Jingyi turned around and saw that they had already walked in, passed by the statue, and stopped in front of the shallow pit with countless weapons.

At that moment, crossing the shallow pit in the battlefield, they met the eyes of those who had walked out alive.

They were covered in wounds and blood. There were nearly three hundred of them when they arrived, but in the end only half of them walked out of the life-and-death battle.

Some of them supported each other, some used their weapons to support their bodies, and some simply lay on their spirit beasts and did not move.

This battle was so brutal, so brutal that no one could survive intact, and no one could smile easily.

"We're fine." Ye Linglong replied.

"We are also... fine." Pei Luobai, whose fair face was covered in blood, said softly across the shallow pit: "It's over. All the demons in the formation have been killed. The human race, the demon race, and the ghost race have joined forces to fight the demons and have won."

"So." Ye Linglong showed a difficult but touching smile, and said, "Why can't we win?"

"That's right! Those demons are just pretending to be something. They keep saying that we can't win. Isn't it better to defeat the enemy with fewer people and slaughter them all?"

"I have tolerated these grandsons for a long time. Day after day, they do so many things behind our backs that make us restless. They are so arrogant that they want to kill us all! They don't even want to see who will kill whom!"

"This battle was so exciting! I haven't been on such a killing spree in a long time! I killed these bastards of the demon clan!"

"Yes, these demons were killed!"

Everyone started talking one after another, breaking the originally heavy atmosphere. Now there was only the joy of surviving the disaster and the excitement of winning a great victory.

"So, what exactly do the demons want? I want to see why they are fighting so hard!"

After someone said this, everyone's eyes searched everywhere, trying to find anything related to the demons or something that looked valuable in this dilapidated hall.

While searching, they were also discussing whether it was this or that.

But after discussing for a while, everyone's eyes fell on the three of them. They wanted an answer.

Ye Linglong sighed, walked towards the shallow pit, and came to the front of the black heavy sword in the center that no longer had any demonic energy.

"What they are looking for is a red gem on this heavy sword."

After hearing this, everyone looked towards the black heavy sword. They indeed saw an empty space on the sword, but they did not see where the gem was.

Ye Linglong gently placed his finger on the spot where the gem was no longer there.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop them. There was only one demon left, and he took the ruby ​​away."

After hearing these words, the originally noisy temple suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

So, they still failed?

They fought bloody battles for three days and at a huge cost. They thought they had won, but in fact... they still failed?

Even though they killed all but one of them, that one person still took what they wanted!

At that moment, the joy of victory disappeared from their faces. Everyone was shocked, as if struck by lightning, and their hearts were suddenly blocked.

"We tried our best." Ye Linglong raised his head and looked at everyone: "This is not my fault, nor is it everyone's incompetence. We underestimated the determination of the demons. They would rather sacrifice everyone to take away that gem.

But so what?

If we can kill them once, we can kill them a second time, a third time. As long as they come once, we can kill them once. We can defeat them!"
