Chapter 509: The Elders' Secret, the Weird Tomb Guarding Team
Deep in the mountains, on a gravel path, the tall, blond Jim walked step by step, his axe-carved face full of anger.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Those slick old bastards, unwilling to bear the captain's wrath themselves, pushed this crappy job onto me. Damn them!"
As he spoke, a trace of awe flashed across his face, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, as if he was afraid of someone he was about to face next.
"How can I put it? The captain's faith in the gods is so devout that he would abandon the gods' cemetery. Oh! Just thinking about it is impossible..."
Jim was secretly transferred not long ago, leaving the Valley of the Gods where he had guarded for half his life, and going to the headquarters of the Gods Organization, where he received a top-secret instruction.
After discussion, the elders decided to abandon the Valley of the Gods in order to suppress this outbreak of Yin energy.
When Jim first heard about this plan, he was so shocked that he smashed the table in front of him. However, after seeing the deep looks in the eyes of the elders, he immediately understood that no one was joking about this matter.
In the end he had to accept this cruel fact.
He is also responsible for delivering the news to his teammates.
The team Jim is in is called the Tomb Guard of the Gods, which is a very high honor in the organization of the gods. Only those who have the most devout faith in the gods are eligible to be selected.
It can be said that every one of his teammates is a fanatical believer.
Including himself.
However, after some threats and the Elders' emotional and rational persuasion, Jim accepted the plan.
After all, no matter how sacred the Valley of the Gods is, it is just a pile of cemeteries. How can it be as important as the lives of living people?
However, he couldn't be sure that his teammates would think the same way.
With difficult steps, Jim walked up to the middle of the mountain and greeted Old John, who was wearing an old and tattered hat and squatting at the entrance of the Valley of the Gods.
"Hey man, how's the Valley doing?"
This is just a common greeting, without any meaning. Every time someone comes out of the valley, they always ask this question, which is equivalent to: Have you eaten?
However, this time, Jim got a different answer.
"Jim, you'd better be careful. I heard some unusual noises at night. Maybe one of our colleagues has crawled out of the grave again."
"Or maybe something even more terrible happened."
Old John pushed down his hat. The severe cold had no meaning to a strong man like him, but for some reason, Jim always felt that Old John was particularly afraid of the cold today.
"Okay, this time I also brought some bad news. Get ready, maybe we'll be idle for a while."
Jim waved and walked into the Valley of the Gods.
The name sounds nice, but in fact, this is a large cemetery. Moreover, the strange man has been in contact with the extraordinary, and it is almost 100% certain that there will be some problems after death. As a result, the valley is always filled with yin energy, which is very eerie.
What Jim didn't notice was that after he walked away, Old John looked at the moonlight in the sky, his face showing the obsession of a dying person with the world, and he made a strange gesture with his hands and muttered.
"The world is just the pasture of the gods. When the gods come, people start to retreat. When the gods come, people start to retreat..."
As he spoke, the expression on Old John's face became more and more indifferent. His humanity seemed to be fading, while his "divinity" was increasing.
Jim walked into the valley, with tombstones of various colors on both sides. He looked straight ahead, not daring to look any further. It was night, and if he stopped for a moment longer, chaotic mutterings would come into his ears.
For an old tomb keeper like him, although it is not fatal, it will affect his faith in the gods.
