Chapter 1077 — I Must Not Perish
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
" The sweat on the back of Shen Mu's neck ran down his spine: "Moreover, there were so many void beasts in the Ancestral Court, a sea of beasts, a mountain of beasts — why are none of them to be seen now?
Could it be.
.
.
" Luo Xiao brought them to that vein. The void beast halted, not daring to approach.
Gu Xiao and Dahong carried the altar down, and the two exchanged a glance, saying nothing. Luo Xiao was exceedingly elated: "This is the territory of the Juyu clan.
It was here that the Juyu discovered the first primordial divine stone, and from that came the race of Creators!
And it was here too that the Primordial Stone was found; it was by the Primordial Stone that the Great Emperor defeated the Three Kings and became the Great Emperor. " Shen Mu glanced at Gu Xiao and Dahong, and saw that they were still exchanging glances, smiles on their faces, as though they had not heard Luo Xiao's words.
Luo Xiao looked toward the primordial divine stone vein, and could not help but start, blurting out: "Why are there eight ancient gods here? And why are they carrying a coffin?
" Having said this, he suddenly laughed: "Why am I asking you such things? You do not know either.
.
.
" "Perhaps we do. " Dahong chuckled: "Brother Gu Xiao, would you not say so? " Gu Xiao neither confirmed nor denied, and said mildly: "Eight ancient gods bearing a coffin — plainly they meant to bury someone of the utmost importance. " Dahong said coldly: "Or perhaps they meant to bury a stretch of history no one was meant to know, a filthy, sordid stretch of history.
" Gu Xiao gave a murmur of assent. Dahong proposed: "Since we have come, we might as well go all the way and see who lies in this coffin.
" Luo Xiao said in alarm: "This vein is truly ancient. Even for a Creator to enter is a great peril; those who can go in to mine are all Creators, and nine out of ten never come out alive!
Look at those eight ancient gods — they died.
.
.
" Shen Mu tugged at his sleeve and said, "Brother Luo, whether we go in or not is no longer up to us.
" Luo Xiao was slightly taken aback, puzzled at his meaning. Shen Mu followed Gu Xiao and Dahong forward, and said in a low voice: "Have you still not seen it?
" "Seen what?
" Luo Xiao asked, bewildered.
"You—" Long Qilin came to his side and shook his head.
