32. Chapter 32
"You!" Osvid's mind was blank as the heat waves came to an end.
When Kevin was in the fire, he was almost confused, but soon, an anger that was even more turbulent than the fire in front of him swept over in an instant. When people were extremely angry, their brains were almost broken, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
When Kevin turned and disappeared, Osvid subconsciously reached out and took a hand forward.
"Your Majesty!" The Wujin Iron Cavalry team behind chased after him, and in a hurry he didn't even see Kevin's face. He only saw a residual phantom and the emperor who was so angry that he almost rushed into the fire.
The few people in front rushed over and grabbed Osvid, trying to pull him back so that they could not be caught by the fire. However, they rushed in front of them and found in panic that the young Emperor had not almost reached his hand, but had already reached into the fire.
"Oh my God! Hurry!" someone shouted, "Hand! Your Majesty, your hand!"
When a person loses his mind, he always has a lot of gravity, and Osvid becomes angry at this time. He doesn't even react to anyone stopping him or pulling him back. The scarlet fire has directly burned his eyes and brain.
Most people in the Iron Cavalry of Wujin know that the emperor is very skilled in close combat and long-range attack. When he beats people, his fists are as hard as iron and his strength is scary. But they never knew that when the emperor loses control, his strength can be so scary...
In the end, seven or eight people barely stopped him, and the one closest to him was almost thrown into the fire.
Osvid was forced to stagger back a few steps away from the flames. The noisy voices around him finally gradually entered his ears and penetrated into his mind.
"Where is the medical officer?! Call me the medical officer! Your Majesty, your hand! Your hand must--eh?" The roaring man suddenly stopped the car in half and turned into a question. He murmured in an incredible tone of confusion: "I clearly... I clearly saw your hand reaching into the fire, how could it be, how could it be unscathed?"
Osvid's light eyes were covered in blood, covered with blood from anger and anxiety. He took several beats to realize the meaning of this sentence, and finally he opened his eyes to his hand.
There was almost no trace of being burned by fire on his hands, let alone being injured.
But his hand did reach into the fire, and no one knew better than himself.
Osvid gasped heavily, staring at his right hand without blinking, and his reason for leaving finally slowly returned to his death, and his anger soared to the sky slightly suppressed.
He pulled his arm with a cold face, pulled his hand out of the black and gold iron cavalry, and then took two heavy steps forward.
"Your Majesty!" The person behind him wanted to catch him again, but he raised his hand to stop him.
Although his anger was slightly suppressed, he still couldn't say anything.
The heat wave that was so real that it was almost burning hit him again. He had a gloomy face and, in the heavy breathing, he simply put his entire arm into the fire.
The crowd behind him burst into a burst of exclamation.
Osvid even stayed in the fire for a while before pulling his arm back. He glanced coldly, raised it to everyone and said in a deep voice: "Fake fire."
This fire can't kill people, although it looks terrifying and the heat waves are rolling.
Osvid strode into the sea of fire without hesitation. He wandered in a scarlet tongue of flame for a moment, but never touched anything like the entrance.
As if to confirm the emperor's conjecture, the fire came suddenly and went suddenly, and almost instantly it stopped. The tongue of flames changed from high to low and soon disappeared. When the fire faded away, the thorny walls that were originally standing there were still branches facing the sky, and the canes wrapped around them were still broad-leaved, with no scorched areas, as if the fire just now was all the imaginations of everyone.
The only thing left behind the fire just now was the howlings that appeared and were sometimes far away and sometimes near, which made people get goosebumps like ghosts.
Osvid glanced at the thorny wall with a low breath, but found that there was no trace of the entrance, let alone Kevin's shadow. The bloodshot in his eyes slowly faded away, but his eyes were still so cold that it made people dare not speak or get close.
He was silent for a while and suddenly kicked the square stele hard.
"Bang--"
The copper square monument, which had been dug most of the time, flew out of the soil, hit hard on the thorny wall, rolled back to the ground, and fell there slanted.
Everyone shrank their necks and was silent.
After a while, someone finally tried to remind him: "Your Majesty, the two pieces of the monument... are different in color."
Osvid closed his eyes and slowly opened them. His heavy breathing quickly calmed down, as if he forced his anger into his inner body from the surface.
He walked to the square stele and squatted down, reached out and touched the surface of the square stele.
As the black and gold cavalry said just now, the color and rust degree of the upper and lower half of the monument were clearly divided. Osvid then remembered that the monument erected just now was indeed different from what he had seen before, and it seemed that a thick layer of soil was dug out.
Except for Kevin who just disappeared, there will be no one else.
He would not dig this monument freely, unless there was information related to the entrance on the monument, which was on the lower half of the soil covered...
"Light." Osvid rushed back without looking back and said.
A military general was stunned for a moment and handed the insect lamp he had brought over to the emperor.
Osvid held the insect lamp and illuminated it carefully around the surface of the monument. The newly dug half was rusted very much, and there was almost no trace of the words. He didn't care about the layer of mud on it, and simply reached out and touched it.
After touching the fingertips repeatedly for a while, I finally felt an intermittent sentence: Unless... open the way... the tomb door will last forever...
Osvid frowned and his face became even more ugly: the keywords were almost rusted!
The words behind "Eternal" can be guessed by guessing "not opening", but the words before and after "opening the way" cannot be guessed.
He touched the place repeatedly without believing in evil. When he touched the fingertips almost numb, he suddenly felt a trace that seemed to be there.
"The Undead!" Osvid finally found the part in front of "opening the way".
The complete meaning is "unless the undead opens the way"? Then where should the undead come from...
Just as he was thinking, those faint howlings that seemed to come from the depths of the ground came into his ears again.
Could it be—
Osvid's eyes fell on the mud in front of the thorn bush, then patted the mud in his hand and stood up, and ordered the person behind him, "Where are the others? Have you woken up? Go and call everyone over."
The two generals responded and hurriedly returned along the path.
After a while, everyone stood here, even the doctor.
Everyone was carrying weapons in their hands, their eyes were still bloodshot, and a few people still had water droplets on their faces, which obviously had just forced themselves to wake up.
"What's going on?" Nick wiped the water droplets from his face and shook his head hard.
The medical officer hesitated and explained: "It should have been added a handful of medicine to the fire. If you are right, you probably got it from me..."
At this time, Osvid no longer had the heart to care about how everyone died of sleep and where the medicine came from. He had only one idea in his mind: before leaving, Kevin's bastard said he wanted to enter the grave alone, and he made a big circle. He did this, because he thought he would not die at all...
Fuck you won't die!
Osvid stood up calmly: "Simply divide the work, Nick, please order five people to come and cut all the thorns and canes on this side. As for the rest-"
He raised his foot and stepped on the wet mud-covered ground, and said word by word: "Flip the whole piece of land for me!"
Everyone didn't ask much, and started to take action without saying a word.
However, soon, one of the team encountered a problem.
"Your Majesty! These canes... cannot be cut off." Nick said as he felt a little confused.
Osvid's eyes turned to him, Nick raised his sword and slashed it hard on the cane, leaving a very deep hole, with a few thinner ones even broken directly.
But the next second, the horizontal mouths on the thick canes were reunited, and the thinner ones also directly pulled new branches.
In short, except for the rapidly rotting vines piled up on the ground, the thorny wall did not change at all.
Osvid was not very surprised, in fact, it was almost the same as he expected.
He had never expected this wall of thorns to be anything ordinary, nor did he expect to split them to see the gate of the tomb of the Gods.
But you have to give it a try, right? What if you see a ghost.
Nick's logging team turned against each other in a blink of an eye and merged into the digging team. The group used all their strength, and it was like digging it so hard that the soil flew away.
Not long after, the soil layer went down nearly one meter deep.
"Click"
A slight crisp sound was particularly prominent in the sound of metal collision, and everyone stopped moving.
One of the generals squatted down and pulled the soil in front of his feet for a few strokes, revealing the thing under the soil layer that he had just cut off accidentally.
That was a bone.
A bone that has been buried for many years but still looks like a new one, and even a thin layer of mesh-shaped bloodshot is stuck on it.
It is not uncommon to have bones in the cemetery, but everyone still feels a little cold behind them.
"Continue." Osviddao.
Everyone simply threw away the sword in their hands and bent down and dug it up with bare hands.
But after about ten minutes, everyone had to stop their movements because they had almost no place to stand.
Except for the place where they stood on their toes, all the wet mud that was dug was filled with bones, fur and meat, which looked incredibly fresh, as if they had just been buried.
Without exception, these messy corpses all came from beasts.
Those giant orcs are not good at all! Even beasts that cannot become human-shaped, for them, the visual impact effect is also very great!
There were almost a hundred corpses on the top layer alone, and new ones were constantly dug out below, probably several layers were buried. Everyone gave up simply, otherwise they would be buried alive by the accumulated corpses.
"Is this a beast sacrifice?" Nick exclaimed, "I have never seen such a large beast sacrifice..."
The beast sacrifice is a kind of prayer witchcraft that was passed down in the early days of the mainland.
Because people long ago thought it was a sin to hunt beasts for food, they would bury the beast's heads, bones and uneasy pieces of internal organs and meat into the ground after hunting, thinking that this would keep the hunted beasts intact and then gain new life. [Note 1]
Later, it gradually evolved into a kind of memorial and prayer, laying the bones of beasts in front of the tombs of the dead, wishing them to rest in peace under the protection...
"After all, it's a divine tomb, so it's normal to have a larger scale..." another military general murmured.
"No!" Osvid stared at the corpses of the beasts for a moment, and suddenly frowned, "This is not a beast sacrifice."
"Ah?" Nick didn't react.
"The prerequisite for the beast sacrifice is to put the head, fur and flesh into a complete shape, just like a beast when it is alive. But here..."
All the beast corpses here were cut into pieces and mixed in scattered areas. None of them were complete, but they seemed to be deliberately disrupted like this!
"The complete corpse is a blessing, but in contrast, it is like this beast bone..." Osvid said word by word, "It is clearly a curse!"
Everyone was full of surprise and horror: Bury the curse here? Who is cursing?
In addition to the divine light dharma that should be sleeping in the tomb, can there be others?!
