"You don't know about such a big thing?" one of them asked in surprise.
"Yes, I just came back. I heard that there was a big thing, but I don't know what it is," Linlong said.
Another person said, "It's about a Stone Woodman graveyard that some fellow disciples found near Tuming Mountain in the northwest of the camp."
"They found a Stone Woodman graveyard?" Linlong said in surprise.
That person continued, "That graveyard is not like before. It's said that it's very strange inside. Everything inside is dark, and there's a very big hall. After they entered, they suddenly saw tombs emerging from the hall …"
Another person continued, "That's not the big deal. What happened next was shocking. Just when those fellow disciples thought that there would be treasures in the tombs, giant spiders emerged from those tombs one after another. Those giant spiders are so powerful that even those with Rune Stone Swords are no match for them."
"No way, they're so powerful?" Another person could not help but say.
This person heard their discussion and walked over. Obviously, this person had just returned to the camp and did not know what happened today.
"Senior Brother, you've just returned as well."
"Yes … Hurry up and tell us what happened next!"
That person hurriedly said, "Because of the appearance of those spiders, the fellow disciples who went in all fled in panic. Some of the clever ones directly ran out, but those giant spiders did not let them go. Several of them chased them out, and these giant spiders even chased them into the camp. In an instant, several people died in the hands of those spiders. If it weren't for Mentor Yao Hongsheng and Senior Brother Fang Liang, those who stayed in the camp would have been miserable."
"Fortunately, two of our fellow disciples were smart enough to directly close the gate of the graveyard when they escaped. Otherwise, more people would have died in the camp," the other person said.
The two of them echoed each other.
"If that's the case, then the people trapped in the graveyard are all dead?" the person who came over asked.
"Of course. Those giant spiders are so powerful, and there are so many of them. No matter how strong the people inside are, there's only one outcome, and that is death."
"What's the situation now? Did Instructor Yao Hongsheng tell the dean and the elders about this? Did someone go and deal with the giant spiders in the graveyard?" the man asked.
"This is a big deal. Therefore, after killing those giant spiders and understanding the situation, Teacher Yao Hongsheng immediately reported the situation to the elders above. Several elders directly came to the Stone Wood World and followed Teacher Yao Hongsheng to the tomb. However, they didn't expect that after they arrived, they couldn't find the tomb no matter how hard they searched," one of the two said.
"It shouldn't be that hard to find, right?" The person who came over was puzzled.
"At first, they thought it wasn't hard to find, but then they couldn't find it no matter how hard they tried."
"Can't we find it even if we go to the original place?"
"They couldn't find it. It turns out that the place directly collapsed and was buried by the high slope on the other side. Because of this, the elders could only give up and return. They said that they would organize people to thoroughly investigate the place."
"Of course, there's another reason. Those elders and Teacher Yao Hongsheng didn't care about those giant spiders at all. Those giant spiders are only powerful in this place. They are not a match for the elders at all. Otherwise, Teacher Yao Hongsheng wouldn't have been able to kill them so easily."
"That's all we know. If you want to know more, you can go and ask Teacher Yao Hongsheng."
"You two, you're making things difficult for me. If I could go and ask Teacher Yao Hongsheng, why would I still be here listening to you two?" the person who came over couldn't help but curse.
After a short pause, he said, "But still, thank you for clearing up my doubts."
Linlong also expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome," the two said.
After understanding the general situation, Lin Long left the group and continued to walk towards his residence.
After walking for a short while, a few people came over. It was Meng Han and a few of his followers.
Seeing Linlong, Meng Han immediately stopped.
"Brat, you're back. I thought you died somewhere!" Meng Han said coldly, glaring fiercely at Linlong. If looks could kill, Linlong would already be dead.
"It's all thanks to Crown Prince." Linlong smiled indifferently.
"Brat, don't ever leave the camp. Otherwise, I will let you know how the word 'death' is written!" Meng Han threatened again.
"Eh, Crown Prince, do you have a conflict with this person?" At this moment, someone beside Meng Han said.
Linlong had never seen this person before, but he had been staring at Linlong for a while, which made Linlong feel very strange.
"Of course … I want to kill this person!" Meng Han said coldly.
"This person, I think I saw him in the Stone Woodmen Graveyard before!" The person beside Meng Han said again.
Hearing this, Linlong couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise on his face. At this moment, he also vaguely felt that he had seen this person in the great hall before.
"You saw him? It can't be? "Meng Han said doubtfully.
He didn't see Linlong in the great hall.
"If I remember correctly, I saw him in the great hall before. At first, he was also with us in the center of the great hall, but after the tomb appeared, he directly ran to the corner," that person said.
Sweeping a glance at Linlong, Meng Han asked again, "In other words, he ran out before we did?"
"No, when we came out, he definitely hadn't come out yet!" that person said with certainty.
"Xue Gaozhuo, are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Meng Han couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Meng Han's question, the person who taught Xue Gaozhuo said with certainty, "I definitely didn't see wrong, it's him!"
Hearing his words, everyone, including Meng Han, revealed a surprised expression. In their opinion, the people inside were definitely dead. If Linlong was really inside and could come out now, they would naturally be surprised.
"Senior Brother, your eyes must be playing tricks on you. I didn't go to that tomb at all." Linlong directly denied.
This was not a joking matter. If he really didn't come out before and suddenly appeared in front of everyone now, the people from the School of Runes would definitely bring him in for questioning.
Seeing that Linlong was so certain, Xue Gaozhuo couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. However, he still said with certainty, "Don't lie to me. You were inside at that time, and you didn't come out after the door closed!"
"You really saw wrong." Linlong still had a calm expression, as if that really didn't happen.
After saying that, he left, leaving behind a few people with puzzled expressions.
Very soon, Linlong returned to his residence.
The next day, he still went to look for Uncle Hu, but what made him depressed was that Uncle Hu was still nowhere to be seen.
Before Uncle Hu appeared, he found that Fang Liang had brought two people to his door.
"Senior Brother Fang Liang, what's the matter?" Seeing the appearance of the three people, Linlong naturally felt that something was wrong, but he still asked calmly.
"Junior Brother Lin, someone said that you went to the tomb of the stone woodmen, and didn't return when the door closed … Can you explain if this is true?" Fang Liang asked directly.
"That's not true." Linlong shook his head. Now, it should be that Xue Gaozhuo saw him, so he naturally had to insist that such a thing didn't happen.
"Is that so?" Fang Liang frowned, and then said, "However, we still need you to cooperate with us and go to Teacher Yao Hongsheng for a check."
Seeing the expressions of Fang Liang and the other two, Linlong knew that he had to go, and immediately nodded. "Alright."
Fang Liang and the other two let him out first, and then began to search his room.
After that, Fang Liang and the other two brought him away.
Not long after, he was brought to a hall in the middle of the camp.
After arriving, Linlong discovered that there were three people sitting inside.
One of them was a middle-aged man without a white beard, and he was wearing the uniform of a teacher from the Runes Faculty. He should be Teacher Yao Hongsheng, who was in charge of the Stone Woodmen World.
Beside him sat two old men, who were obviously wearing the uniform of the Runes Faculty's Faculty.
After bringing Linlong to the three, Fang Liang respectfully said, "Elders, Teacher Yao, Lin Li has arrived."
It was obvious that the middle-aged man without a white beard was Yao Hongsheng.
Yao Hongsheng looked at Fang Liang, and said, "En, Fang Liang, you may leave."
Fang Liang immediately walked out.
"Greetings, Elders. Greetings, Teacher." Linlong said respectfully.
"Lin Li, I heard that you entered the tomb, and didn't come out when the door closed?"
"If this is true, can you tell us what happened?"
The two elders immediately said. As they spoke, they stared at Linlong as if they wanted to see through him.
Yao Hongsheng smiled, and said, "Lin Li, don't worry, we just want to know what's going on inside. If you really go in, we will reward you. I can even teach you how to make Runestone Swords alone."
Having such a teacher personally teaching him was the dream of everyone in the camp. However, how could Linlong be tempted by such a condition?
Hence, he directly said, "Elders, Teacher Yao, Lin Li has not been to the tomb."
"Don't lie to us, or the consequences will be terrible!" one of the elders immediately said coldly.
"If it's light, he will be locked in the dungeon and subjected to all kinds of torture, never to leave. If it's heavy, he will be killed!" the other said.
"Elders, Lin Li really has not been to the tomb. In fact, he hasn't even been near it. I only heard about it from the two Senior Brothers in the camp," Linlong said again.
Such a threat naturally could not threaten him.
"Is that so? Then take off your Space Ring and let us have a look?" Yao Hongsheng frowned.
He naturally wanted to see if he could find any traces in Linlong's Space Ring.
Linlong immediately took off the Space Ring he was wearing and handed it over.
After receiving the Space Ring, Yao Hongsheng and the other two immediately checked it. They quickly frowned because they did not find anything in it.
Linlong only put some Mystical Crystal Stones and some materials in it. How could they find anything?
"What's the other ring you're wearing?" Yao Hongsheng asked at this time.
He was naturally referring to the Rune Space Ring on Linlong's hand.
"This is just a ring passed down in my family. It doesn't have any use," Linlong said.
"Is that so? Then let us have a look," Yao Hongsheng said.
Linlong could only take off the Rune Space Ring and hand it over.
He was not worried that Yao Hongsheng and the other two could see anything. After all, the runes in this world were too different from those in the Mixed Sky Continent.
Sure enough, Yao Hongsheng and the other two couldn't see anything after carefully looking for a while. In the end, they had no choice but to return the two rings to Linlong.
"Okay, you can go back, but I hope you don't lie to us. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences," Yao Hongsheng said.
"I naturally wouldn't dare to lie to the two elders and Mentor Yao," Linlong hurriedly said.
After saying that, Linlong left.
After Linlong left, Yao Hongsheng looked at the two elders, and asked, "Elders, what do you think?"
"Although I can't see anything fishy about Linlong, I think we still have to observe him for a while," one of them said.
"That's right. After all, Meng Han is the son of Prince Mengci. He won't lie no matter what," the other person said.
"I will send someone to pay attention to him. Rest assured, elders," Yao Hongsheng immediately said.
"Thank you, Mentor Yao. As for the graveyard, we'll wait for the dean to come back before making a decision. But don't worry, Mentor Yao. The graveyard is probably just a ruin left behind by the Stone Woodmen. It won't cause any trouble," the two elders said.
"Okay, we will take our leave first."
After saying that, the two elders immediately got up and left.
After the two of them left, Yao Hongsheng called Fang Liang in.
"Mentor Yao, do you have any instructions?" Fang Liang immediately asked after entering.
"Get someone to keep an eye on Linlong for a while and see if there's anything wrong with him," Yao Hongsheng said directly.
"Yes!" After responding, Fang Liang hurriedly left.
After leaving, he immediately called a youth in his twenties in front of him and said, "Kong Wu, go and keep an eye on Linlong for a while. If there's anything wrong with him, inform me immediately."
Kong Wu naturally accepted the order and left.
Linlong naturally didn't know about this. After leaving, he went to Uncle Hu's residence again. What made him depressed was that Uncle Hu still didn't stay.
However, just as he was about to leave, the middle-aged man who lived beside him suddenly walked out and said to him, "Little brother, if you have urgent matters to look for Uncle Hu, you can go to the Wuyang Lake in the south."
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Linlong's eyes naturally lit up. He immediately said, "Many thanks."
After saying that, he immediately left and prepared to go to Wuyang Lake to take a look.
