Chapter 3216 Teresa and the funeral
Chapter 3213 Teresa and the funeral
After realizing that he was in the grave at this time, fatigue and sleepiness suddenly surged up. Xia De knew very well that this was not the real reaction of his body. If he really dared to sleep here, he would probably never wake up again.
He yawned, and then coughed by the stinking smell of the rotten corpse. He fumbled in the narrow coffin with his hands, but fortunately he didn't find the "roommate". He just touched a bracelet made of metal, but it was just an ordinary item.
Then he endured the negative state of weakness and mental exhaustion, sensed the space for a while, and then determined that he could not go out directly by "Lagra's jump". Then he wanted to use "fossils to mud", but he found that all the castings were restricted in his grave. Although he was not completely unable to cast the spell, the casting effect was reduced quite exaggeratedly.
Fortunately, even though he is extremely tired now, the foreigner still has a strong body tempered by several drops of divinity. It is indeed difficult to exert force when curled up in a small space, but he still hit the coffin board on it with his feet and body.
So a bang bang sound kept coming from the ground. About half a minute later, one hand poked out from under the black ground with grass buds behind the tombstone. Soon, Xia De took the bracelet and crept out of the soil with his big breath.
After leaving the grave, the feeling of powerlessness and mental fatigue slowly subsided, while the restricted spell casting ability almost returned to normal, but Xia De could still feel that this world was suppressing his power.
"Is life and death at the edge of this place? No, it's just a little similar."
He didn't care about observing the environment, and held the tombstone and breathed several times of the wet and rotten air to restore his state. After leaving the grave, the stench became more obvious. The air around him was extremely cold. This was not a place where living people could stay for a long time.
At this time, I finally glanced around. Darkness was the main tone of the surroundings, and a faint white mist lingered in the darkness. In the mist, various tombstones stood on the wasteland. They did not go in the same direction, nor were they arranged neatly. Instead, they were like a handful of rice grains sprinkled off, sitting randomly in any corner that you can see from the sight. Moreover, the distance between the tombs and the tombstones is quite close. Xia De even suspected that some coffins would meet underground.
The tombstone group is ignorant at first glance, but most of the tombstones are lit with white candles that are about to burn to the end, or there are kerosene lamps with broken lamps and luminous crystals of unknown material placed in front of the tombstone. Although these light sources have not completely put the world into darkness, they are also creating a more terrifying atmosphere:
"The place name 'Tombstone Wasteland' turns out to be literal."
The golden bracelet that was taken out of the grave was temporarily put into Xia De's pocket. He continued to observe around him. He had black soil with gray-green grass buds under his feet. The tombstone he leaned against was made of marble. The moisture in the faint white mist was particularly heavy, and the rotten odor in the air was definitely the stench of corpses. Xia De was used to this smell in the morgue in Yuewan last summer.
Instead of exploring the surroundings first, he simply checked and confirmed that there was nothing else in the grave. Then he turned to the front of the tombstone to check the text on the tombstone. Unfortunately, there was not a single letter on the marble tombstone, but it was just a little above, like a chisel that carved out the mark of the moon.
"Then this time my partner will be there"
He took his hand away from the tombstone and continued to look around, hoping for the light of a bonfire or torch. But at this moment, his ears moved and he heard a faint sound of bang bang coming from the ground. Xia De followed the sound in confusion and looked at the group of tombstones not far from the left side of his "grave":
"Wait, my partner won't be buried here this time, too - Shi Zhixin!"
The breath of death and the mist were seriously hindering the spread of perception and sound, but Xia De still noticed the heartbeat of a living person below the ground, which at least ensured that no ghoul would jump out to surprise him after he opened the coffin.
After quickly walking towards the source of the sound, the sound of helping knocking underground became more obvious. Xia De took out the toy from his pocket and turned it into a shovel and wanted to dig it, but after the shovel touched the soil on the ground, sparks splashed out, and the force of the shock almost made the shovel take out of Xia De's hand.
He felt that the black soil under the turf was simply a layer of steel:
"No, when I dug it out just now, wasn't the soil normal and wet and soft?"
The sound of help from the underground is becoming weak, and the loss of physical strength and the weakening of soul can easily make the person in the coffin fall asleep completely.
So Xia De stabbed the shovel hard again at the layer of soft soil, and this time the shovel rod broke directly.
"Moonlight Sword!"
The tip of the silver sword was stabbed to the ground by Xia De, but even spiritual weapons could not penetrate into the soil:
"Wait a minute, this is the land of this wasteland that is protected by something."
At this moment, Xia De noticed that light was approaching him in the fog dispersed in the darkness. It was not the faint light of a candle head or a broken oil lamp. The red flames made him feel the familiar warmth in this strange world.
As soon as he turned around, he saw two figures approaching here in the tombstones. One of them was holding a source of flame light in his hand, and the other was holding a shovel. Xia De immediately waited with a sword alert, and the two figures running from the fog discovered him at this time.
The figure carrying the lamp was wearing a black and gray robe, with white skin like fragile porcelain, a silver eye mask that looked like a crown on his face covered his eyes, and his hair was dark black like ink.
If she hadn't been a little shorter, Xia De almost thought that Sister Deflin had also come here. When the lady who looked a little older than Sister Deflin approached, Xia De was very sure that this nun was also holding fire. He could feel the power of the first fire in the kerosene lamp she carried.
As for the witch who followed the nun, carrying a brown student shoulder bag and a shovel—
"Xiade!"
The young girl wearing round glasses and long golden hair tied into braids shouted incredible. After a moment of froze, she immediately wanted to rush over the tombstone in front of her, but was pulled by the unknown nun:
"Be careful, the living people we detected should still be underground."
Xia De said several words in succession:
"Lost lake, sea of light, tower in fog, boats and dragons, emperors holding swords, gods on the tower, boys fishing."
This time the blonde girl broke free from the nun's hand and rushed over to hug Xia De:
"Xiade!"
"Tresa!"
The future president of Serxes Higher Medical College, the niece of the Witch Emperor Violet, once again welcomed the reunion with Xia De. After not seeing each other for two years, the girl wearing glasses has not changed much, and she still looks like she is very student-like after graduation.
She hugged Xia De tightly and did not let go, Xia De hugged her. He found that he was not very surprised by this reunion. Last time he parted with them in the Sea of Light, Xia De knew that there would definitely be a next time to meet.
But the reunion location was not romantic at all, and it was obviously not a good time to reminisce:
"Tresa, do you have a way to dig the ground? There is someone underneath."
The girl with a little red eyes then let go of Xia De. She looked carefully at Xia De who had met again after a long time, and then explained:
"The tombstone wasteland is protected by the 'Tomb King', and conventional power cannot destroy the grave that does not belong to you. With this, only this can dig up someone else's grave."
She said that she wanted to dig the ground with the shovel in her hand, but Xia De took the shovel away from her and did the work by herself.
The warm and bright light source also approached a little at this time. Xia De's after seeing the nun who had just fallen behind Teresa, also came to the position behind the tombstone, carrying a kerosene lamp to illuminate him. The strange nun did not ask any questions, and there was no expression on his face.
At this time, the ordinary-looking shovel that Xia De was holding actually pierced into the ground. Then, as Xia De digged hard, he quickly dug up the coffin board of the decaying coffin in the soil.
The shovel in his hand also broke at this moment, and then the lower half of the shovel surface fell into the soil and turned into sand and gravel. The half of the wooden stick in Xia De's hand was fine.
“Disposable items.”
Teresa reminded, holding Xia De's arm with one hand, lifting the other hand upwards with force, and more than ten coffin nails bounced open together, and the coffin board that had just exposed a corner bounced up with a bang.
The lamp held by the unknown nun illuminated the inside of the coffin, so the girl with short flax hair curled up inside and saw clearly the three people standing at the edge of the tomb pit. Although she was still open, her consciousness was already quite blurred. Teresa bent down and pulled the girl out of the coffin.
"It's not safe here, let's go back immediately."
The nun spoke to Xia De for the first time since he appeared. Although the languages and characters were used, the cold feeling when she spoke was really similar to Sister Deflin. Of course, at this time, the language people used was taught in the college courses in the Sixth Era, so Xia De had no obstacles to communicating with them.
After the nun said that, he carried the light in front of him, while Teresa supported the half-unconscious girl and wanted to follow her, but she did not forget to remind Xia De:
"Look for any burial objects in the coffin. It must be a gold utensil, at most one item is not available. Take a look and follow it, don't fall behind."
Xia De soon turned on a very thick gold ring in the coffin. The ring was made very rough and the ring surface was peeled off and could not be found, but at least this thing was pure gold.
