Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1142 The Altar (2)

As he spoke, the big yellow dog cautiously followed him in.

Tang Zi, who was behind, quickly followed. At this moment, she seemed to be able to hear. As she entered the crimson space, her expression changed slightly. She said, "Where is this place? This... how can it be so strange!"

Ye Qing also looked at the big yellow dog with curiosity.

"This is the tomb of two saints, but this tomb is different from what you imagine!" the big yellow dog whispered. "You may have heard a legend in the Chaotic Star Sea: that someone in this Valley of Greedy Wolves once ruled over the endless Silver Moon Wolves!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "That's indeed true!"

“This matter is true!” the big yellow dog said. “In this chaotic star sea, countless years ago, there was a person with extraordinary abilities. In addition to his own special characteristics, it is said that he obtained a method to communicate with strange beasts in a temple.”

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "Don't exotic beasts awaken and speak human language once they reach the Venerable level?"

"Yes, but there are very few beasts above the Venerable level in this universe!" the big yellow dog said. "Moreover, the racial consciousness among beasts is extremely strong. For example, if I were to command some beasts, I would most likely only be able to command canine beasts. Apart from that, unless there are invincible beings like the Dragon Clan who can command all beasts, or beings at the Beast King level, no other race would ever submit to another race!"

“But the dragon race in the universe has long been wiped out, and the vast majority of the beasts above the Venerable level have submitted to the Heavenly Court,” the big yellow dog said.

Ye Qing asked curiously, "It is said that there are several Beast King-level beings in this universe?"

The big yellow dog nodded and said, "There are indeed beast kings, comparable to human emperors, but they have been suppressed for countless years and have no chance of coming out! Moreover, after being suppressed for so long, they have probably reverted to their beastly nature and are left with only the instinct to kill."

"Under these circumstances, a skill that allows communication with mythical beasts is extremely terrifying!" The big yellow dog said, then looked at Ye Qing and added, "If you could acquire this skill, and in the future, when we go to war with the Heavenly Court, you could build an army of mythical beasts..."

Ye Qing's eyes lit up as he asked, "Where is this thing?"

The big yellow dog whispered, "Don't think about it now. Wait until you reach the Saint Realm before thinking about these things. This place is more complicated than you imagine. When Tian Ge and I came here, we almost died before we managed to leave!"

"Nine deaths and one life?" Ye Qing's expression shifted.

The big yellow dog nodded and said, "Two saints are buried here, and they are most likely both at the peak of the saint realm. Apart from the one I just mentioned who can control strange beasts, there is also a saint with soul characteristics. This saint with soul characteristics raised countless soul-devouring beasts here, enslaved them, and then made them harvest souls to nourish them, while waiting for a chance to be reborn!"

"A chance to be resurrected?" Ye Qing asked.

“If the soul is immortal, it can be reborn, as long as a suitable body is found,” the big yellow dog said. “Of course, it is extremely difficult to resurrect a saint, and judging from the state of this place, it is highly likely that both souls have been corrupted beyond recognition. With this parchment in your possession, our departure should be much easier!”

"What do we do next?" Ye Qing asked. "Staying in this place is making me feel uneasy."

The big yellow dog said, "I remember that apart from the place we entered, there are nine tomb passages in total. Including the one we entered, there are ten in total. It's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. If you take the wrong one, even a Venerable or a Saint has a very high probability of dying."

Ye Qing felt a chill run down her spine and asked, "Then do you remember which one it was?"

"It will take a long time, I need to think about it for a while, wait!" said the big yellow dog.

Ye Qing was speechless.

The two had no choice but to stay in the crimson space and wait.

At the same time, Ye Qing had a hint of doubt in his heart. Hou Bing had also come here from the tomb passage, but now, he had not even left a trace.

However, Ye Qing guessed that Hou Bing most likely knew the location of the gate to life in this place.

Judging from his series of actions, he should have been enslaved by the souls of the two saints here, helping them bring some people to this place so that the people here could obtain souls!

Unfortunately, my mental power was suppressed in this place and I couldn't detect it. Otherwise, with my current mental power coverage, I should have been able to find the direction that bastard left in.

While the big yellow dog was pondering, Ye Qing was also waiting silently, watching the sky warily.

Because of the parchment, the Soul-Devouring Beasts seemed very wary and dared not land.

"Zizzizi..."

Just then, Ye Qing suddenly heard a hissing sound. His pupils contracted as he looked at the two blood-red coffins.

Before she could speak, Tang Zi, standing beside her, asked anxiously, "Is the coffin lid slowly opening?"

Ye Qing also noticed that the coffin lid was slowly opening.

However, it seemed unable to open completely all at once, as if some force was blocking it.

"You damn dog, hurry up!" Ye Qing said, "Something's not right. The coffin lid is slowly opening."

The big yellow dog was sliding its paws on the ground, relying on its memory, as if it were thinking about something!

As time went by, the coffin was opened wider and wider.

At the same time, Ye Qing saw a pair of hands on the coffin lid. Those hands seemed to belong to a man, and he was forcefully pushing the coffin lid open to the side.

"I remember now!" Just then, the big yellow dog exclaimed, "Let's go through this passage!"

Ye Qing nodded quickly, and the three of them ran in that direction!

Just then, a figure suddenly sat up inside the coffin.

"Grass!"

Ye Qing glanced over and realized that the person who sat up was none other than Hou Bing, who had just arrived.

However, at this moment, Hou Bing's face was covered in bruises, and it seemed as if his face was festering.

Ye Qing felt a chill run down her spine!

Just then, a voice boomed in Ye Qing's ear, saying, "Where... do you think you're going?"

As soon as the voice fell, "Hou Bing" appeared in front of Ye Qing and the other two.
