This corpse looked a bit strange.
Its body was about the size of a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, its back was facing upwards while its face was facing downwards, bobbing up and down on top of the lava, slowly drifting towards the group.
When they were still several hundred feet away, Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered and suddenly asked: "Why don't I see anyone from the Wraith realm? And where are the people who wanted to cooperate with them? "
The child looked around, sure enough, the group of people who were at odds with him earlier had disappeared.
"Come out!" he shouted in a low voice.
From the lava, a man whose entire body was glowing red flew out and knelt in front of the child: "Sir, not long after you brought them away, those people stepped on the back of this Wraith corpse and followed it into the great tomb"
The child asked: "Why are you the only one here? You mean, none of them were left behind? "
"Reporting to my lord, no."
"Hmph, the souls of the Wraith realm's people don't originate from the great tomb, so they wouldn't be entangled by the corresponding Apocalypse after entering, but what about those people? They were the same as us, why would they dare to directly enter the great tomb? "the child shouted.
The man covered in lava lowered his head and reported:
"Sir, the other people that you arranged for them appeared to be loyal to you on the surface, but they had actually sided with them, so they also knew about the scale"
Hearing that, the child didn't get angry and only casually asked: "Did they also find the purple scale?"
The man shivered and said with a trembling voice, "Sir, the fifteen scales that you hid were all taken away by them. I'm only one person and I'm no match for them. I can only hide here and wait for you to return so that I can inform you."
Saying so, he knelt down and kowtowed again and again.
"Stand up, this isn't your fault, it was my mistake to have trusted the wrong person" the child dejectedly said.
The man was surprised.
Why is sir so easy to talk to today?
But since he managed to escape, he was naturally grateful and didn't have the time to think about anything else.
The child appeared doubtful, then turned to Gu Qing Shan and asked: "The key right now should be this Wraith corpse, tell me, why did they enter the great tomb ahead of time?"
Gu Qing Shan and the child's eyes met.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head slowly and said in puzzlement, "I've just woken up not too long ago, so I've never met these people face to face. Even you don't know, let alone me."
The Samsara Delimitation Artifact supported this tomb and ensured that the Apocalypses wouldn't be completely released.
If they could get into the Great Necropolis and get the Six Daos Delimitation, they would be in control of everything.
Although the Wraiths' corpses were related to many mysteries and secrets, the person who obtained the Delimitation Artifact would be able to control the Apocalypse within the great tomb, controlling everyone's life and death!
Of course, secrets were important.
But his life was more important!
After weighing the pros and cons, those people would naturally choose to enter the tomb to search for Divine Artifacts.
Gu Qing Shan did not believe that the old monster hiding in the child's body would not know this.
However, it was clear that the monster had its own plans, so it put on a confused expression.
Thinking back to how it had taken out a scale and handed it to him, it should be …
Gu Qing Shan suddenly sent a telepathic message to Shan Hai Qi Xia:
"Tell me, how many people from the Wraith realm and those who sided with them in the tomb?"
"Fourteen, madam, what's the matter?" Shan Hai Qi Xia replied.
"It's nothing"
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a brief moment, then slowly understood.
Indeed, the monster must have purposely released this information.
It definitely didn't tell them the time limit of the scale's usage, and after those people tried to use the scale, they found that it was indeed able to avoid the Apocalypse.
Furthermore, according to my deductions, the floating path of the Wraith's corpse should be a safe path.
There's a path.
The mermaid scale would allow my soul to avoid the Apocalypses that sealed me away.
This was a God-given opportunity!
Those people naturally couldn't wait to enter the great tomb first, wanting to obtain that Divine Artifact.
There were a total of 14 people from the Wraith realm, including the monster who had switched bodies, while the child left behind 15 scales.
Each person had one.
And now, they had all entered the Tomb River.
In other words, they didn't even consider the issue of numbers.
This proved that they didn't know that the mermaid scale in the River of Calamity could only be used for a single day.
After a single day, the Apocalypse would discover them again.
But there were six tombs, five fake and one real, and the Tomb River was filled with Apocalypses and monsters, how could they possibly find the real tomb in a single day?
Even if they found it, the dangers of the tomb wouldn't be something that could be dealt with in a short amount of time.
They're dead!
Gu Qing Shan silently glanced at the child.
This old monster hiding inside the child's body didn't even bother to fight, but instead easily pushed the enemy into a dead end. What a brilliant scheme!
After thinking it through, Gu Qing Shan didn't show any emotions or say a single word.
After all, the child also gave me a scale.
I'm also a target of his scheme!
Hearing Gu Qing Shan's words, the child couldn't help but nod, then said: "It seems they gave up on this Wraith's corpse, used the people around me to steal the scales I collected, and entered the Tomb River first"
"It's all your fault, the current situation isn't in our favor!" Gu Qing Shan grumbled.
The child generously admitted his mistake: "This is indeed my fault, but since it's already come to this, we need to quickly think about what to do next"
Gu Qing Shan coldly scoffed, but didn't say anything.
Seeing how the two big shots didn't get along, everyone went silent.
The entire river of lava was silent.
Only the Wraith's corpse slowly approached.
Any sentient entity within the Tomb River was not to be trifled with.
This Wraith's corpse from the previous era was still floating between the Tomb River and lava, completely unharmed.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Wraith's corpse, thinking that it was still alive.
What is it planning now?
What a headache.
The situation is too complicated, there's too little information, and each monster is ridiculously powerful.
Don't even think about solving the situation, it's already good enough to survive. But …
There's a sword within this great tomb.
A sword of the Six Paths of Samsara.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts turned, then sighed after a while and said: "Since they've already gone in, we need to quickly chase after them, otherwise, if they manage to obtain the Delimitation Artifact, we'll be in trouble"
The child said: "This Wraith's corpse"
Gu Qing Shan turned to the Wraith's corpse.
He calculated the time.
It's currently nighttime, so he can use his Sumeru Thaumaturgy.
If not …
I still have 100 million Soul Points.
The War God UI also has quite a bit of Soul Points hidden away.
There are some things that, if you back off right now, you won't be able to do it again.
Gu Qing Shan made up her mind and raised her voice: "We'll use it to enter the Tomb River, then we'll see how it goes"
The child thought for a bit, then said: "Very well, that's the only thing we can do"
Who would've thought that the Shaman's suggestion would be exactly what they wanted, then there's no need to waste any effort.
"Let's go!"
Everyone leapt up and landed on the Wraith's back.
The lava slowly flowed.
The Wraith floated along the lava for a while, then entered a deep underground river.
"The Tomb River is at the end, from now on, everyone must prepare for battle at any moment" the child said.
Everyone regained their focus.
Gu Qing Shan also released his inner sight to pay attention to any movements around them.
He held the Nine Serenity Yin Incantation Jade Tablet in his hand and sent his voice: "Gentlemen, I'm currently standing on the Wraith's back, following a group of monsters into the Tomb River"
After saying so, he told them the truth about how the monster used the inheritance to take over his body, then circulated his Soul Points.
As the jade tablet was infused with Soul Points, it disappeared without a trace.
A few moments later.
The jade tablet once again appeared in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
As he scanned it with his inner sight, another 'him's' voice resounded in his mind:
"We've known about the inheritance for a long time. Not too long ago, we opened a broken tomb and rescued a guy with a monster's body and a human soul. Unfortunately, he couldn't withstand the destruction of the apocalypse and his soul quickly dissipated."
Another 'him' spoke:
"Be careful, we just saw an unknown Apocalypse appear above the Tomb River, it's following the flow of the Wraith's corpse, it might run into you"
