Chapter 520: 334
“I don’t know.”
“Why did you want to enter the Great Tomb?” Shen Ye asked again.
“…” king species.
“Not talking? Ti to teach manners,” Shen Ye said.
The king species disappeared once again.
“With that detour it took just now, I almost forgot to ask it that,” the Skeleton sighed.
After a few monts.
The king species reappeared in front of the two.
“Still not talking?” Shen Ye asked.
“Not talking,” the king species uttered with difficulty.
Shen Ye was sowhat moved.
Under the inquiry of the Whispers of the Dark, one cannot lie.
Yet it still wouldn’t speak!
Each refusal to speak ant suffering for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
The king species would rather endure such tornt than tell why it wanted to enter the Great Tomb.
That secret must be astounding.
But—
“Forget it, I respect you as a real man, I won’t torture you anymore,”
Shen Ye stood up and said sincerely.
He patted the Skeleton on its shoulder and turned to walk toward the other side of the Dharma Aspect.
—All the gold that Kunlun had previously collected for exchange was placed there.
Now was the mont of harvest.
He had walked only a few steps when he saw the Skeleton following him.
“Why are you following ?” Shen Ye asked, puzzled.
“What else should I do?” the Skeleton said, not understanding.
“Eat it,” Shen Ye said.
The Skeleton was startled, and then trembled with excitent.
To consu a king species?
Wouldn’t that an it could beco one of those incomparably powerful cosmic monsters?
“Shen Ye, you’re the best!”
The Skeleton cheered and turned to run back.
Shen Ye shook his head and continued toward the gold.
If it wouldn’t speak after tens of thousands of years of torture, then the question would be dropped.
But the vengeance against Chaotic Heaven Gate must be exacted.
—Let its spirit die as well.
In an instant.
Shen Ye stood in front of a pile of gold, quickly putting the matter of the king species out of his mind.
A row of faint light spelled out the ssage in small characters:
“Current gold quantity sufficient, may directly upgrade one building’s level.”
What to upgrade?
Xi Rang is the land, the barracks can summon comrades from the Great Tomb’s barracks, traps and Wilderness Lairs are for dealing with invading enemies.
Upgrade the barracks.
He still wanted to scout out the situation inside the Great Tomb and see how everyone was doing.
“Upgrade the barracks.”
Shen Ye said.
Faint characters quickly appeared:
“Deducting all gold, upgrading barracks to Third Level.”
“Third Level barracks can summon Tomb Guardian General, first summon is free.”
“Current world is a nightmare-class world, summoned individuals will appear directly in this world, estimated single stay duration:
“12 hours.”
“Proceed with summoning?”
“Summon!” Shen Ye said.
He hadn’t been in contact with the real world for too long, and at this mont, he was very eager to find soone he knew to share each other’s situations.
Knock knock knock—
A series of knocks sounded from outside.
The soldiers who were eating and drinking all lifted their heads.
“Who’s there?”
Bronte called out, reaching for the lance on the weapon rack.
A clear and beautiful female voice rang out:
“I’m here to find soone.”
The crowd looked at each other in bewildernt.
Bronte held the lance in one hand and tapped the wall three tis with the other.
A mirror appeared on the wall, showing the scene outside the door.
“It’s a woman—a human,” Bronte said.
Shen Ye spoke up, “She’s my companion.”
“Co and take a look,” Bronte said earnestly.
“Don’t worry, she’s a companion I’ve known for years,” Shen Ye replied.
“Good, go and open the door, let her in.”
Shen Ye walked to the door, unlocked the bolt, and pulled the door open with force.
Indeed, a girl stood outside, wearing a conical bamboo hat and with a black veil covering her face.
She was dressed in a long gray gown, her waist tied with two long swords, and as the door opened, her bright eyes shone out from beneath the hat, eting Shen Ye’s gaze.
Xiao ngyu.
According to what Guo Yunye had said earlier, she had risen quite quickly, already entering the third level of the Great Tomb.
The third level, naturally, corresponded to the third floor of the barracks.
Tomb Guardian General.
“Please co in,” Shen Ye said.
“Peiqi brother, this is—?” Bronte asked.
“I’m Peiqi’s guard; no need to ask more,” Xiao ngyu said.
“I see, and here I thought Peiqi brother had two sisters,” Bronte joked.
Two sisters?
Xiao ngyu’s eyes swept across the room and imdiately noticed Annie sitting with crossed legs.
She walked over and sat down beside Annie, smiling:
“Peiqi, I haven’t seen our little sister for a long ti, and we were about to have a whispered chat, so don’t interfere.”
Shen Ye felt sowhat helpless.
—I have to interfere in this!
A puppet won’t chat with you, and if she blew her cover, it would definitely create trouble.
Annie suddenly opened her eyes and smiled at Xiao ngyu,
“Sister, co with ; I have sothing to tell you,” she said.
She hopped off her chair, took Xiao ngyu by the hand, and walked to the other side of the room.
The two girls, one older and one younger, talked in the corner for a long ti.
anwhile, Shen Ye continued to drink his wine.
Though it was called wine, it tasted more like grape juice.
By now, it had grown late into the night.
Outside, lightning occasionally flashed across the sky.
The rain was still pouring down, hitting the rooftop with a rustling sound.
The soldiers had long been full from food and drink and had begun to feel sleepy.
Captain Bronte took the first half of the night watch, sending the rest to the second floor to sleep.
The cold spring rain at night was still sowhat chilly.
The captain was diligent, adding a log to the fireplace before sitting down with a short sword, lost in thought.
Shen Ye, holding a cup of wine, walked up to the fireplace, found a place to sit down, and struck up a conversation:
“I’ve been in the mountains too long and have no idea what’s going on out there—has a war broken out?”
“The Undead were preparing to attack our border, and the Orcs were also at war with the Elves, but now it’s all over,” Bronte replied.
“Over?” Shen Ye asked.
