Chapter 2210 The Structure
Lady Kang's demonstration of strength was quite effective, for all the Chimeric beasts in the enclosed area had been killed.
~huu~
She drew in a breath and stabilized her immortal Qi, as it was still one of the skills from the 88 Constellation Series. Each and everyone of the skills took a lot of Qi to use. Though the function of each skill was a bit different.
The one that she had used right now, the Banishing horns of Aries were especially intended to be used against beings of the Yin inclination.
"Hmm… I suppose this can handle about twice the amount or more with this too." Lady Kang muttered to herself.
"Yeah the skill can take on more Chimeric beasts." Lin Mu chimed in.
"I suppose Lady Kang still needs a bit more time toe acclimatize to the increase in her cultivation base." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke.
"Possibly." Lady Kang understood that too.
"Well at least we now know this kind of method is quite useful. As long as we see any Chimeric beasts in such an enclosed area, we should take the opportunity to eliminate them." Ziran stated.
"Our goal here is Survive in the end. If there are less threats, our chances of survival will increase." Daoist Chu could see the benefits too.
While killing so many Chimeric beasts in one go would take a strong skill and higher expenditure of Immortal Qi, it was something that was still better than risking and fighting them directly. At least this way they could save time, and the effort needed to battle them one on one. Not to mention, they would also be avoiding any potential injuries this way.
With such conditions, the benefits outweighed the risks and it was beneficial to kill the Chimeric beasts at once.
"I suppose we can keep a look out on the way to Monk Hushu." Lin Mu said while the others agreed.
After this momentary pause, the group continued on their journey and spotted a large structure after about an hour.
"There it is!" Crown Princess Shang said out loud.
Lin Mu and the group looked at it, finding it to be rather ancient looking.
It was made from a black stone of some kind, that was different than the rest of the Spatial Plane. There were also fine carvings made all over it, with each brick having at least three such carvings on it.
The structure was three tiered, with eight pillars supporting each tier.
It looked like a mix between a pagoda and a castle of sort, with an outer boundary that was two square kilometer is size.
The structure itself was about five hundred meters tall, and equally as wide in area. And from the sky, the group could only see one entrance to it, with no other exists present.
There were no windows or galleries on it, and neither were there any openings to glance at what was present inside.
Though what did stand out was a dense curtain of Baleful energies surrounding the inner entrance of the structure. And sitting in front of the gate was none other than a bald monk whose body seemed to be glowing in a yellow light.
"What is that thing?" Qiao De asked, unable to figure out what kind of structure it could be.
"Ziran do you know what it is?" Lin Mu turned to the half elf, guessing that he might have the best idea.
"I do." The Half elf replied with some doubt.
"So you know what kind of structure it is?" Crown Prince Feng Shun looked at Ziran too.
"I haven't seen this style before, but this is surely an offering hall." Ziran replied narrowing his eyes. "The demons often use these to provide offerings to their ancestors as well as those that passed away. The styles can vary between different Demonic tribes, and they are usually a lot more 'open' and simple than something this complex." He explained.
"Hmm… So it is indeed from the Demonic Tribes." Lin Mu wondered what might be inside.
"It is a bit strange though, I've never seen an Offering Hall this large." Ziran expressed his doubts. "They are usually a bit smaller and are located in a graveyard." He added before looking around.
The others got the hint and they observed the area too, finding that it was indeed a bit different. The biggest thing that stood out was the fact that there were no Death Qi boundaries appearing here.
And neither were there any stray Chimeric Beasts wandering around here.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu extended his Immortal sense and swept over the area, scanning everything that was within the range.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
The others did the same and after a minute didn't detect anything on the surface.
"Looks like it is indeed a graveyard." But Lin Mu soon found something underground.
~THUD~
He landed on a particular spot and lightly slashed.
~RUMBLE~
The ground was unearthed, and a ten meter deep hole was opened up. Inside it, one could spot a mottled and cracked stone that was very clearly carved into the shape of a tombstone. The letters that were written on it had faded away over the countless years it had been here, and nothing could be seen below it.
No remains were there, whether it be bones, teeth or hair.
It had been far too long since this gravestone had been placed here.
"There are a few more of these spread around the area. Though not all of them are as intact as this gravestone." Lin Mu spoke.
Ziran picked up the gravestone and checked it properly, trying to see if he could read what was written on it. But that was simply impossible as all traces of letters were now gone and they were illegible.
No runes were present inside it either, and neither were there any Qi fluctuations coming from it.
"This was indeed a graveyard once upon a time." Ziran confirmed. "Though it is unknown how long it has been here for." He added.
