Chapter 375 Are you that familiar with the entity? Xia Fa, who are you?
At this moment, the Crimson Demon Tree, the Philosophy Pencil, and the Dense White Dwarf looked at each other, all seeing extreme surprise in the Crimson Demon Tree's black gem eyes.
As for why no surprise was seen in the eyes of [Philosophy Pencil] and [Dense White Dwarf]—it's because neither of them has eyes.
But the real key is that these three unknown beings who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, especially the [Crimson Demon Tree], an old Outer God who has lived for more than 30,000 years, are seeing a physical being so close to humans for the first time!
That's right. Logically speaking, when entities are in a "solidified" state, as the "solidification" time goes on, their actions will become more and more mechanical, appearing as stiff as puppets, which would frighten even the Outer Gods.
Even if they were to "untie" the knot, they would never show such intimacy to anyone, rarely even offering a smile, let alone putting their arms around each other like this.
The only possibility is—
Thinking of the name of the little brother [Absolute Attack], which differs from that of the strongest righteous god [Absolute Defense] by only two characters, and considering the attitude of the physical entity of the fanatical tomb raider towards him, the three outer gods couldn't help but have an extremely bold guess in their minds.
"Do you think that little brother [Absolute Attack] might actually be the biological son of Lord [Absolute Defense]?"
The Philosophical Pencil first communicates through spiritual intuition, avoiding absolute attacks this time.
"It's possible, very likely! Apart from the background of a true god or celestial being, I can't think of any other reason why a fanatical tomb raider would be so close to [Absolute Attack]."
The Crimson Demon Tree answered decisively, as if it were completely certain.
"Yes, and then there's the title 'Absolute Attack,' which is practically an overreach of authority. Even if it's not 'Absolute Defense,'..."
An adult's son is at least a blood relative, such as a nephew, niece, grandson, or great-grandson!
【Dense White Dwarf】also gave its own judgment, which was even more decisive than that of 【Crimson Demon Tree】.
Suddenly, [Philosophy Pencil] seemed to realize something and said with considerable doubt, "But didn't I hear that the bloodlines of the nine great gods were sealed away as 'seeds' and placed in that absolutely safe little world? How come Lord [Absolute Defense]'s own son suddenly ran out?"
The Crimson Demon Tree chuckled: "You don't understand. Recently, there have been rumors of a major upheaval, with the Nine True Gods fighting against the fake Nine True Gods. Moreover, it seems they're no longer afraid of disturbing the more than ten thousand sleeping Golden Cleansers. Under these circumstances, it's quite normal for Lord Absolute Defense's son to be born and take the opportunity to further his training and growth."
[Philosophy Pencil] thoughtfully remarked, "I see, that makes sense—"
The three outer deities communicated through spiritual intuition to this point, and then tacitly chose to end the communication.
Because the fanatical tomb raider had already released his arm from Xia Fa's shoulder and looked over.
"The three of you should be ready, right? If that's alright, let's set off now."
Although the fanatical tomb raiders were asking questions, the three Outer Gods, including the Crimson Demon Tree, understood that they had no room to refuse, so they could only respond in a rather positive and excited tone.
"Ready."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, esteemed Frenzied Tomb Raider."
"Yesterday I specifically sought out several master tomb raiders from the Protoss realm to learn from their experience, haha."
This enthusiasm and excitement weren't entirely feigned. Although the tomb of the Quasi-Celestial Venerable was dangerous, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.
After all, this is the tomb that the Quasi-Celestial Venerable prepared for himself, and it may contain all the treasures of his life and other treasures!
"Okay, let's set off now."
The fanatical tomb raider responded with a twirl of his pickaxe and struck the air in front of him.
Instantly, the smell of damp earth and rotting wood intensified many times over. Several figures appeared beside the fanatical tomb raider, all of whom looked somewhat similar to him and were dressed as tomb raiders, seemingly relatives of the deceased.
These figures were clearly talking to the fanatical tomb raider, but neither Xia Fa nor the other three, including the Crimson Demon Tree, could hear a single word. The fanatical tomb raider was responding to these figures as if he were communicating with ghosts, and none of them could hear the fanatical tomb raider's voice either.
This immediately made the scene seem quite eerie, and even the most daring and knowledgeable [Crimson Demon Tree] felt a chill run down his spine.
But immediately, these figures vanished, and a hole appeared in front of the fanatical tomb raiders.
It must be said that the tunnel was dug very neatly, which is rare in the world.
Of the three Outer Gods, including the Crimson Tree, the other two, except for the Dense White Dwarf, have robbed numerous tombs.
In particular, the Philosophy Pencils, as beings of the "Philosophy Attendant" type, have their source master, the Celestial Venerable "Apostle of Knowledge," who loves to rob graves everywhere, even several of the tombs of the Great Old Ones.
The reason is quite simple: the "Knowledge Apostles" use tomb raiding to explore the truths hidden in the fog of history, and of course, they will also take away any good treasures they find.
This led the philosophical attendants to follow suit, and they all became experts in tomb raiding.
At this moment, looking at the law-abiding tomb raider's tunnel, [Philosophy Pencil] couldn't help but admire the fanatical tomb raider a bit more. In fact, this was the first time it had encountered this entity.
"Since this is the tomb of a quasi-Celestial Venerable, there's no need for legs. Let's all endure the hardship together. Don't worry, as the head of the cauldron, I will do my best to ensure everyone's safety. I'll lead the way."
The avid tomb raider turned around, gave a command, and then walked directly into the tomb.
The term "leg" refers to someone who keeps watch outside the tomb raider's tunnel to prevent anyone from damaging it or coming to catch tomb raiders. In fact, in the Celestial Spirit Realm, "legs" are generally not needed.
Especially for the tombs of those of higher status, fewer people dare to approach them, so there's even less need for them.
So, under the arrangement of the fanatical tomb raiders, Xia Fa and everyone else entered the tomb raiding tunnel and chose to "endure hardship," which meant going tomb raiding together.
The tunnel wasn't long, but the further you went in, the thicker the black mist became, and you could vaguely see gruesome ghost faces within it, which was quite eerie.
Xia Fa looked around curiously, pondering a question at the same time.
That is, if one's divine self were to truly be forced to use the "Rope of Flesh and Blood" as a sealing artifact to escape, would it be possible to escape the tomb of a quasi-celestial being?
You must understand, this is a quasi-Celestial Venerable, whose status is far, far higher than mine.
"Hmm—if all else fails, I'll just unleash all the burning sensation in my body and use it to escape—"
Xia Fa thought to himself and nodded slightly. Of course, he didn't necessarily have to run away, since he had the expert tomb raider, Fanatic, with him, and he had promised to take care of him.
As they walked, it seemed they had reached the halfway point of the tomb raider's tunnel when suddenly, the situation inside the tunnel changed.
The meticulously dug tunnel suddenly seemed to transform into the intestines of some unknown creature, wriggling incessantly.
The ground beneath my feet transformed into the folds of intestines, and a sour smell assaulted my nostrils, accompanied by a heavy stench of blood.
Xia Fa and the others felt a chill run down their spines. This meant only one thing: they had officially entered the tomb of that quasi-celestial being!
As a physical entity, the fanatical tomb raider naturally wouldn't need to lead everyone to the location of the quasi-celestial being's tomb and dig it out bit by bit; he could simply dig a hole and enter.
The first half of this tomb raider's tunnel is essentially a Star Spirit Tunnel, while the second half is where we truly enter the tomb of that Quasi-Celestial Venerable!
"I haven't yet found out the name of this quasi-Celestial Venerable, nor what he did in his lifetime. Everyone, please proceed with caution. In particular, there is an extremely powerful Mystic Star Spirit in this great tomb. Although it has no consciousness, it is actually more dangerous because of this."
The fanatical tomb raiders led the way, and from time to time, round, fleshy monsters with rather short limbs began to emerge from the gut-like tunnel. They howled pitifully and lunged at the fanatical tomb raiders.
However, before they could even get close to the fanatical tomb raider, they all collapsed into the ground, which seemed to be one of the fanatical tomb raider's abilities.
At this moment, upon hearing the information provided by the fanatical tomb raiders, the three Outer Gods, including the Crimson Demon Tree, all felt a chill run down their spines.
"Fanatical Tomb Raider, are you sure? There's a Mystic Star Spirit inside this tomb? My God, I can't believe I've encountered such a rare spirit!"
The Crimson Demon Tree spoke with considerable surprise, its voice filled with a mixture of fear and awe.
[Philosophy Pencil] spoke calmly, as if analyzing the situation: "If it is a mindless Mystic Star Spirit, it can easily attach itself to some strange or monster-like creature, greatly enhancing the strength of that creature or monster—and it often does so unexpectedly, so we must be even more careful."
The avid tomb raider then glanced back at [Philosophy Pencil]: "I didn't expect you to know so much. Don't worry, if you encounter one, just leave it to me. I have a great use for this Mystic Spirit."
Originally, none of the three members of the Crimson Demon Tree had ever signed a "Star Spirit Master" contract. Even if they obtained the Secret Star Spirit, they would not be able to form a contract. Although they could sell it for a high price in the "City of Gold Pounds," the fanatical tomb raider had already made the deal, so the others dared not say anything more.
Just then, a thick cloud of black flames, shrouded in dust, billowed up and blew into the gut-like tunnel.
The fanatical tomb raider swung his pickaxe, and the black flames and dust vanished simultaneously. Then, he took a step and walked out.
Xia Fa and the three others, including the Crimson Demon Tree, exchanged a glance and immediately followed.
The exit of the tomb robber's tunnel led to a small tomb chamber, which was only about a hundred meters square.
However, this tomb chamber was in the same style as the tomb robber's tunnel. The walls, ceiling, and even the floor were all made of solidified flesh and blood, and the smell of blood was extremely strong.
In the middle of this flesh and blood tomb, there was a ladder, which seemed to lead to other tombs below.
"Hmm—it really is the tomb layout of Lingtian, with some elements of 'Divine Evil' and 'Scorpion Palace' in the design."
This time, it was the [Philosophy Pencil] that spoke up and revealed the clues.
The fanatical tomb raider glanced at him again, this time not holding back his praise: "Even among the Philosopher's Attendants, you're considered one of the more knowledgeable about tomb raiding. Yes, it is indeed this kind of tomb layout, but the danger hidden within is probably enormous."
Xia Fa asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Since there's no danger right now, it's always good to know as much as possible.
If anyone else had asked, the fanatical tomb raider would have ignored them completely, but seeing that this was Lord Glutton's only junior, he immediately transformed into an extremely patient teacher.
"Whether it's Lingtian, Scorpio Palace, or Divine Evil, they are all astrological configurations, because most tombs are arranged according to astrology. If a tomb is based on the Lingtian configuration, then the tomb owner has the intention of being resurrected through it."
"If it's just a tomb with a Lingtian layout, it's already quite dangerous, because the tomb owner will try every means to prevent anyone from damaging it, especially us expert tomb raiders."
"And this quasi-celestial being also incorporated the astrological configurations of the Scorpio Palace and Divine Abominations. The former means that a large number of evil spirits and strange occurrences will be born in this tomb, while the latter means—"
The avid tomb raider's tone suddenly turned extremely serious: "—The tomb's occupant himself possessed the potential for resurrection and ascension!"
The zombie has been upgraded!
Xia Fa was suddenly startled. This was a mysterious concept that the skinny, bald captain had also mentioned, and it was known to everyone in the tomb raiding world.
The so-called "household transformation and promotion" means that when an extraordinary being is about to reach the end of their life, they leave themselves the possibility of household transformation through burial. Once the transformation is successful, their status will rise by a whole level!
From a god, one can become an outer god; from an outer god, one can become a quasi-celestial being; and from a quasi-celestial being, one can naturally become a celestial being!
The tomb owner who successfully undergoes a transformation from a corpse to a spirit is actually a completely new individual, but will retain some memories from their previous life. In a sense, this can be considered a different kind of "resurrection".
Therefore, for those extraordinary beings whose lifespans are nearing their end, this can be considered a choice they have no other option to make.
"So—should we continue exploring?"
【Zhi Mi Bai Dwarf】was a little scared. The quasi-celestial being's tomb was alright. With the group working together and the presence of a fanatical tomb raider, there was still a considerable chance of survival.
However, if that quasi-Celestial Venerable were to undergo a true corpse transformation and ascend to the Celestial Venerable realm—then it would almost certainly be a situation of certain death.
"Steal? Of course we'll steal! That quasi-Celestial Venerable only has a chance of undergoing a corpse transformation and ascending to a higher level, not a certainty. Besides, since He chose the possibility of resurrection or corpse transformation and ascension, He must have hidden almost all His treasures in this tomb. That's what they call 'the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity'!"
The fanatical tomb raider spoke with unwavering conviction, and then, taking the lead, walked directly to the middle of the flesh and blood tomb and climbed down the descending stairs.
"Everyone, follow along—"
'
Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened!
