Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1962 – Giant

“That doesn’t scare you, does it?” Chu Xun knew that her background was a bit overwhelming, but she wasn’t in the habit of lying.

“A little,” Lu Yun shrugged. “If anything happens to you while you’re in my care, the two peak grand supremes will chop me up and feed me to the fish.”

The little girl fidgeted nervously. How would she find Miao if Lu Yun chased her away to avoid hassle?

“And if I chase you off, your parents will still come for my head if anything happens to you,” Lu Yun sighed helplessly. “C’mon, let’s go see what’s ahead of us. It doesn’t seem like a cultivator from outside the tomb.”

Chu Xun nodded docilely and tightened her hands around her doll, following precisely where Lu Yun put down his feet. But without Miao’s accompaniment, the little path turned menacing and gloomy. Ghostly shadows drifted around them, though they didn’t dare approach the duo. Chu Xun carried a treasure on her that prevented the ghosts from drawing close to her.

It was why only Miao had been nailed to the tombstone. The ghost hadn’t consigned the little girl to the same fate because the treasure on her warded it off. It was the same case for the ghosts around them now. They dared show themselves and flit around the two, but they didn’t dare attack Lu Yun and Chu Xun.

The little girl grew more cheerful after she got to know Lu Yun more. She kept up a stream of animated chatter around him and infused the repressive atmosphere with liveliness.

Lu Yun didn’t say much. Although he wasn’t afraid of ghosts, there were plenty of entities in the burial mound that were more terrible and mysterious than them. The one who’d possessed Miao, for example, was an existence that he didn’t understand.

The path beneath their feet began to broaden from one meter across to five hundred meters, and then became a large avenue several thousands of kilometers. The cliff faces beside them rose with the expanding road. In comparison, Lu Yun and Chu Xun appeared as two ants crawling on the ground.

Lu Yun suddenly stopped. Chu Xun did so as well. The beady eyes of the cloth doll that looked so much like her lit up with jade brilliance, protecting the little girl.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Rumble…

The earth shook beneath their feet. It seemed that a ponderous being approached from the distance while dragging another enormous thing in its wake.

Lu Yun stiffened as a giant five thousand kilometers tall, dragging a similarly tall monster, plodded right past him. It wore crudely sewn animal hides and carried a massive bone club with its free hand. It looked like…

The primitive humans that he’d seen when he first arrived in the great wilderness.

And the being in front of him was a human—a real, honest to goodness, human. He dragged a qilin after him! One that still gave off fiery sparks!

The monster’s head was smashed flat, brain matter oozing out of the cracks and eyeballs popped out of their sockets. It was an incredibly tragic sight.

The qilins were a strong race in the chief worlds and possessed more than one grand supreme. They were a peak faction that stood toe-to-toe with the dragons. There weren’t many of them, but each of them were earth-shaking powerhouses. How had one of their fire wielding members been smashed in by an ordinary human?

Indeed, its death information indicated that this fire qilin was a grand supreme of the chief world qilins. It’d died to one of the humans here and was being dragged off to be food.

“This is the Fire Qilin Grand Supreme of the qilins… He… he died here?” Chu Xun said carefully, disbelief in her eyes as well. While this grand supreme wasn’t the strongest of his level, he was an absolute heavyweight and one of the first into the tomb.

Even though the little girl was only eight, she was the daughter of two peak grand supremes. Thus, she knew most of the powerhouses in the realm.

“Don’t disturb him!” Lu Yun hastily clapped his hand over her mouth out of fear that she’d draw the giant’s attention.

There was blood and brain matter on the giant’s club—plainly, he’d taken out his prey with one blow. No dao ripples or any force rippled over him. He utilized pure physical strength.

What kind of monster was this?

Were there such humans in existence? Ones possessing physical strength on par with peak grand supremes?

The giant seemed to have discovered them and lowered his eyes for a look before continuing onward. Plainly, he wasn’t interested in two ants.

Thank goodness.

“It looks like he wants to eat meat. Well, it’s a good thing there’s no meat on us,” Lu Yun said half jokingly.

For some reason, Chu Xun looked down at her chest and concurred sadly, “Yep, there is no meat on us.”

Lu Yun: ……

……

The avenue they were on was extremely durable. It showed no signs of passage from a giant dragging the Fire Qilin Grand Supreme’s corpse.

“Do we continue?” Chu Xun asked with some fear.

“Sure, we don’t have any meat,” Lu Yun replied offhandedly.

Chu Xun was sad again.

“What kind of place have we come to?” Traces of giant activity were more apparent the further in they walked.

Skeletons were arrayed on the ground, some of them bearing giant teeth marks as something had gnawed them clean of flesh. When Lu Yun observed them through the Spectral Eye, he could clearly see everything about their identities. There were grand supremes from the chief worlds and from other places.

“The Infinite Deorc?” Lu Yun paused when he saw a black skeleton like a lizard’s. “What’s the Infinite Deorc?”

“Infinite Deorc?” Chu Xun thought for a moment. “I heard my dad mention it before. The creatures from the darkness call their home the Infinite Deorc, but we like to call it the land of darkness more. Where did you get that name from?”

“I see.” Lu Yun had never seen the skeleton of an endarkened before. They almost always flew apart as dust after they died, unwilling to leave behind any traces in the chief worlds. Leaving their corpse behind meant displaying their weaknesses to the enemy and creating openings for the chief worlds.

When chief world powerhouses sent their disciples to the Dark World, it was ostensibly to practice and train against the creatures of darkness. In reality, they wanted to study and understand their weaknesses. But it turned out that the land of darkness was one step ahead and combined their disorder with the order in the chief worlds. That turned their brethren into halfbloods and left nothing for their enemy to analyze.

To think that their skeletons would appear in the tomb of the empyrean supreme, ones picked clean by these giants!
