"Xin's Tombs?"

The elder of the snake-human tribe stood there and thought for a while, and the snake letter in his mouth "hissed" back and forth.

"There is a deeper world going there. What are you going to do in Xin's Tombs?"

Qin Zhibo touched his nose and said, "We plan to leave this place from Xin's tomb..."

"Wait a minute!" The elders of the Snake People tribe suddenly became emotional, "Are you talking about Xin's tombs leaving Yosi?"

"Yeah... don't you know?" Qin Zhibo asked in surprise.

"do not know."

The snake-human elder shook his head like an ignorant child, which made Qin Zhibo feel for the first time that this intelligent population spanning 6500 million years was a bit cute.

"I see……"

The elders of the snake people stared at the void, recalling the past and some history of the snake people in their minds.

In the cognition of the ancient snake people, there is no concept of dreamland.

They think that the tombs of Xin are the same space as Yoth, but it is a deeper place than Yoth.

When the curse of Yige, the father of all snakes, came gradually, all the snake people who believed in Satogua entered the tomb of Sin.

These heretical snake people also said that they took the initiative to enter the deeper space in order to appease Yige's anger, so as to replace the entire race to accept punishment.

In fact, these snake people who believed in Satogua just fled into the tombs of Xin, under the guidance of Satogua.

The curse of the father of all snakes cannot penetrate into another world, so only the snake people who originally believed in Yig stayed in Yoth to bear the eternal curse.

"We were deceived!"

"We've been lied to! Hiss—"

The elder of the Snake Clan raised his head to the sky and let out two roars, his grievances and unwillingness followed Snake Xinzi crazily.

Qin Zhibo couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw this magical version of the story of "a good man should be pointed at with a gun".

As the saying goes, good people are bullied, and good horses are ridden by others.

And these snake-human tribes have both. They are deceived by their own people and ridden on their crotches by outsiders as livestock.

The snake people wept mournfully, and the hissing on the plain could not be silenced for a long time.

……

After a long time, the crying and lamenting of the unfair fate of the snake people gradually subsided.

During this period, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi did not leave, but sat beside them and watched them cry.

Qin Zhibo was fine, but Koizumi Hongzi liked snakes very much at first.

In ancient Egyptian civilization, the snake was a symbol of strength and wisdom, rebirth and rebirth, and also the guardian of the River Styx.

Ancient Egyptian pharaohs carved snake shapes on their headdresses and crowns, which also represented the supreme kingship bestowed by gods.

Therefore, Hongzi Koizumi, who loves ancient Egyptian culture, also made a golden snake on her clothes.

But now seeing these snake people from 6500 million years ago, being deceived and crying, Hongzi Koizumi suddenly felt no love.

he, Tui~
Fortunately, the two of them still had results in the tedious waiting.

The elder of the Snake Clan told Qin Zhibo the location of Xin Zhi's tomb, and promised to take them there himself.

The condition is that if you meet those heretical snake people who believe in Satogua in the tombs of Xin, you must severely scold them for them.

These snake people of Yousi are now in the state of souls, without a body, and cannot lead to the space passage to the tombs of Xin.

Talking in the air is the only way for them to express their anger at present.

As for Qin Zhibo, he has completely become a benevolent person in their eyes, and he will definitely help them.

Qin Zhibo: "Well, don't worry, I will definitely help you!"

……

5 kilometers to the east of the Unnamed City is a ruin surrounded by several ruined walls, where the entrance to Xin's Tombs is located.

Under the hopeful eyes of the snake people, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi jumped into the dark entrance.

Unlike the outside world, Yoth has neither day nor starry night, so the entrance to the Dreamland is always open.

When the two jumped into the dark entrance, the surrounding space became blurred and quickly darkened.

When the vision was clear again, the two were already in a dark world.

There are ashes like snowflakes floating in the pitch-black world, so Qin Zhibo unilaterally called this place "the space of ashes".

In fact, this is also the dividing line between fantasy and reality, and only filthy creatures severely exiled by the gods live here.

"Be careful, this place is inhabited by goblins and giant Gugs..."

At the beginning, Qin Zhibo didn't easily use the space passages of Xin's Tombs, and wanted to find Xin's Tombs by entering a dream first, which was the two threats of Ashes Space.

Without the escort of ghouls, ordinary human beings breaking into this place with their bodies would be tantamount to breaking into a dragon's pool or a tiger's lair.

But it's different now, I have just obtained 30000 general skill proficiency, and I can buy anything in the store at will.

Qin Zhibo checked the system, and the current proficiency is 38373, which is enough to buy the remaining two items of this week [Sword of Oath Keeper] and [Curse of Blood].

This also indicates that the world is about to enter "next week" in the near future.

But now Qin Zhibo is still debating whether to buy [Curse of Blood Source], the effect of this item is "Blood Favor", which can quickly repair heavy injuries on the body with blood, similar to vampires.

But the side effect is that the dream is connected to the ancient god, the more times the "Blood Grace" is used, the stronger the connection.

At present, the best way for Qin Zhibo to recover his will is to sleep, the so-called "sleep relieves all worries".

But if you have to drop San in the dream, I am afraid that the way to recover your will after sleeping will be completely broken.

This is not "Blood Grace", but "will to exchange blood bar".

Therefore, Qin Zhibo is not in a hurry to redeem this [Curse of Blood Origin].

But correspondingly, [Sword of Oath Keeper] must be exchanged now, because no matter whether it is to break through the current Longtan Tiger's Den, or to rescue Sawada Hiroki, it is an item that must be used.

With a thought, Qin Zhibo exchanged the [Sword of Oath Keeper] in the props.

The system showed that the number of proficiency was regressing rapidly, and when it stopped, it had lost 12000 proficiency.

This made Qin Zhibo feel a little pained.

Looking at the newly appeared [Sword of Oath Keeper] in the system props bar, he stretched out his right hand, and a big sword slowly materialized in his hand.

This is a medieval-style wide-bladed sword, slightly heavy, and the cold light on the sword is threatening, and the sharp sword light seems to have been baptized by ice and fire.

Qin Zhibo took the sword and tried to swing it left and right. This is a two-handed sword, and it is a little difficult to use with one hand.

At this time, the martial arts (kendo) skills acquired in the previous case will be useful.

Chop, cut, stab, pick...

Just as Qin Zhibo was familiar with various kendo moves and was preparing for what might happen next, Koizumi Hongzi also saw the big sword that suddenly appeared in Qin Zhibo's hand.

"Where did your sword... come from?"

In front of Koizumi Hongzi's question in surprise, Qin Zhibo raised a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Want to learn you?"

"I'll teach you~"

As soon as these words came out, Koizumi Hongzi immediately turned her head away arrogantly.

"(｀へ) Hmph~ I don't need you to teach me!"

"It's because you don't want to learn, don't blame me for not teaching you."

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, he had completely grasped Koizumi Hongzi's character, and expected that as long as she was provoked like this, she would definitely not ask any more questions.

Just as the two were communicating, the roars of a few ghosts could be faintly heard in the space of ashes.

The two stopped to listen. The roars came from all directions, and there were quite a few of them.

"They may have spotted us..."

"Follow me!"

Qin Zhibo stopped talking and joking, and immediately moved Hongzi Koizumi to a certain direction in the space of ashes.

Maybe it was because the location of the teleportation was not very good. As soon as it landed this time, there were a lot of coughing roars in the surrounding darkness.

In order to avoid being surrounded by a large number of ghosts, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi must keep moving at all times, and cannot let the encirclement form.

In the process of running, in the darkness of no more than 20 meters around, the roar of those monsters came from time to time.

But these ghosts just kept hiding in the dark and followed their own steps, and didn't launch an attack immediately.

Soon, Qin Zhibo understood what these demons were thinking.

They want to use each other's roars to instill fear in their prey, and at the same time slowly consume their physical strength.

When his side showed fatigue and weakness, it was time for the ghosts to attack.

"These beasts are quite clever..."

Qin Zhibo complained, but he had no choice but to run towards the ascending passage to Xin's tomb in his memory.

Although there are no markers here, and the direction cannot be discerned with the naked eye, Qin Zhibo's electronic map has marked his current location.

When Ryohei Matsumoto took him away last time, it showed that the ascending passage was located in the northwest corner of the entire Ashes Space, so Qin Zhibo can only head towards the northwest at the moment.

But at this moment, the hot-tempered Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help it.

She rubbed out a ball of flames with her hands, and threw it towards the direction where the roaring sounds were the most dense.

The flame drew a bright arc in the dark space until it fell to a position 20 meters away, lighting up a group of running ghosts.

With the light of this flame, Qin Zhibo also saw a real and complete ghost for the first time.

Their bodies are similar to those of humans, but their bodies are more like deformed apes or kangaroos, hopping forward on their long legs.

The lack of important features such as foreheads and noses on the faces makes them extremely ugly and hideous.

When the ball of fire rubbed by Koizumi Hongzi hit them, the yellowish eyes of these ghosts immediately became bloodshot, and they scatter towards the flames with a whimper.

The greatest weakness of these filthy creatures is sunlight.

Matsumoto Ryohei once said that as long as there is a little bit of sunlight, the demons and ghosts can be wiped out.

Although the light produced by the flames is not sunlight, it is also a great stimulus to the ghosts who have lived in darkness for a long time, and can slow down their pursuit speed.

But to Qin Zhibo's surprise, Koizumi Hongzi can also use magic in the dreamland.

This is much more convenient than a fake magician with a plug-in magic source like himself.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and decided to use Koizumi Hongzi's magic.

"Hongzi, you throw flames around from now on, as long as you reach the ascending passage from here, we will be safe!"

"You still need to teach me?"

Koizumi Hongzi said angrily, but still did what Qin Zhibo said, and rubbed another ball of flames with both hands while running.

The flame drew an arc in the air, and once again dispersed a circle of ghosts.

Circles of flames lit up the space of ashes, and Koizumi Hongzi, a fire mage, suddenly became Gandalf.

But gradually, Koizumi Hongzi's magic power gradually decreased, and the flame also became smaller and smaller.

Fortunately, the two are very close to the northwest corner of the Ashes Space, and the ascending passage should be nearby, but the two have no experience with ghouls, so they don't know where it is.

"Is there any magic power? Light up the front!"

Koizumi Hongzi didn't respond, gathered the last magic power, just rubbed a small flame, and threw it forward.

In the range illuminated by the flames, Qin Zhibo saw a huge staircase going up along the stone wall.

It's there!

The two of them ran to the front of the huge staircase first, and Qin Zhibo let Koizumi Hongzi, whose physical strength was almost bottomed out, climb up first, while he himself stayed behind.

Before the two of them climbed up two stone steps, the demon behind them moved their filthy bodies and chased them up.

In the darkness, monsters without foreheads and noses crawled on the stone steps, and exposed their bloody mouths to the two fleeing on the steps.

Qin Zhibo stood on the steps and raised his hand to strike with a knife.

A sharp cold light flashed across the ghost's neck, and its figure stopped, and the ugly head rolled to the ground, and then rolled down along the stone steps.

With this knife, even Qin Zhibo couldn't believe it. He didn't feel much resistance and easily cut off the demon ghost's head.

As expected of a prop worth 12000, its power is many times stronger than a 1000 crowbar!
This doubled Qin Zhibo's confidence, and his hands holding the oath-keeping sword became stronger.

As for the ghosts, even though the first one that rushed up died instantly, it did not prevent the rest of the ghosts from rushing up to their prey.

Qin Zhibo was holding a big sword, and taking advantage of the favorable terrain on the stone steps, he almost killed a child with one blow.

Before some ghosts even jumped up the stone steps, their stomachs were pierced by a ray of cold light in the air, and they fell heavily to the bottom, colliding with other ghosts who were climbing up.

Qin Zhibo on the stone steps seemed to be possessed by a war god, and after a while, there were ghost corpses piled up under his feet.

But even so, these ghosts still rushed over one after another.

Qin Zhibo looked around with the night vision device, and suddenly felt bad.

The number of these ghosts is far beyond my imagination, there are hundreds of them in the visible range, and new ghosts are still pouring into those dark places.

The commotion got a little louder...

Qin Zhibo, whose arms were already sore, wanted to get away, but was entangled by the ghosts that kept rushing up in front of him, making him unable to leave.

Once you leave at this time, you will expose your back to the ghost.

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking about how to get out, a flame above his head suddenly exploded in the pile of ghost corpses in front of him.

boom!
The blazing flames light up this dark world.

And behind Qin Zhibo, there was also a ghoul's crying sound.
