Chapter 92 -94: The Essence of the Ancestor Giant’s Bloodline_1
[Would you like to open the stone sarcophagus in front of you?]
[Being a giant beast, you raise your clawed hand, placing it on the sarcophagus. Your muscles swelling, you slowly start pushing the stone cover away…]
[Inside the sarcophagus lies the decaying and dried remains of a giant beast.]
[There are no burial offerings inside the sarcophagus, only a small object glittering with light.]
[Recognizing that familiar light, you do not hesitate to store the object in your bag.]
[You have obtained ‘Nameless Large Piece of Spirituality’ *1]
Lin Xun opens his inventory; this spiritual item is worth a thousand points of spirituality.
There are dozens of stone sarcophagi in the hall, which means…
“I’m rich!”
Lin Xun’s eyes shone, and he quickly began to open the next stone sarcophagus…
[You have obtained ‘Nameless Large Piece of Spirituality’ *1]
[You have obtained ‘Nameless Small Piece of Spirituality’ *1]
[You have obtained ‘Nameless Weak Piece of Spirituality’ *1]
[You have obtained ‘Nameless Large Piece of Spirituality’ *1]
…
[You have completely emptied all stone sarcophagi in the tomb’s hall. Would you like to explore deeper into the burial chamber?]
Lin Xun opens his inventory.
The spirituality he gathered in the hall is not all worth a thousand points; some are worth five hundred or three hundred.
But even so, after opening all spirituality blind boxes, he gained a total of over eighteen thousand points of spirituality!
“This wave is soaring!”
He grinned.
If the leader of the Giant Beasts outside knew that their ancestors’ graves were dug up, they would probably rush in and give him a slap on the face.
Thinking of this, Lin Xun took advantage of the remaining time of the Giant Beast Pill and quickly chose to continue exploring.
[You pass through rows of stone sarcophagi and walk deeper into the tomb’s hall.]
[At the end of the hall is a familiar large archway, covered with a layer of flashing light that does not allow you to see what lies beyond the door.]
[Would you like to step into the archway?]
Lin Xun was about to click ‘Yes,’ but suddenly remembered something.
He quickly chose no.
[You stand at the entrance of the large archway. It’s a shame that you, who is greedy, want to dig three feet into the ground. Regrettably, you’ve already emptied all the sarcophagi in the hall. It would be wise for you to step into the archway as soon as possible.]
[Do you want to step into the archway?]
“Hehe, trying to whitewash it only exposes more.”
Lin Xun was just trying his luck, and he did not expect the treasure was actually in this hall.
He opened his inventory, where a tool was quietly laying.
[‘The Totem Pillar of the Filth Blood Beastman’ (Key) The totem pillar as large as an arm is made of a certain stone material, the images of the giant beast and the mountain monster are carved on it. The Filth Blood Beastmen leave some unknown secret locks in the burial chambers when they refurbish them. Using this totem pillar can unlock the corresponding locks.]
Looking at this tool, Lin Xun continued to choose to stay at the archway.
The game text urging him to enter the archway implies that the treasure left by the Filth Blood Beastman may indeed be hidden inside the hall.
[Persistent apostle, you carefully search along the walls of the tomb…]
[Among the stone patterns carved on the wall, you notice an inconsistency.]
[You squat down your massive body, poke gently with your sharp claws, chips of stone fly through the air, and in no time, a hole the thickness of an average arm is revealed.]
Lin Xun’s eyes lit up, he quickly opened his inventory.
He swiftly clicked on ‘The Totem Pillar of the Filth Blood Beastman’.
[To you, the totem pillar which is like a toothpick, is stuffed into the hole.]
[The totem pillar fits into the hole perfectly. As soon as it is inserted, a grinding sound can be heard from within the walls.]
[Before long, a few cracks appeared on the wall, and a hidden small stone door quietly opened.]
[Do you want to enter the ‘Burial Chamber of Secrets’?]
“I’m glad I was vigilant; otherwise, I might have missed out on the rewards.”
Without hesitation, Lin Xun pressed ‘Yes’.
[Your physique is too large to enter the stone door, which is only half a person tall.]
“…”
He hastily opened his Shell panel and clicked on the Dancer shell.
[You have possessed the ‘Shell of the Fallen Ancient Theatre Dancer’.]
Switching Shells doesn’t refresh the status of the shell itself, such as the damage, buffs, or debuffs, so Lin Xun didn’t have to worry about the Giant Beast pellet enlarging effect disappearing.
[You have entered the ‘Burial Chamber of Secrets’.]
[The secret chamber is dimly lit. Using the light from the burial chamber hall, you survey the room.]
[This secret chamber is cramped and narrow, containing only a stone treasure chest.]
[Do you want to go forward and open the chest?]
“A stone chest can’t transform into a mimic, right?”
[You opened the stone treasure chest…]
[You have obtained ‘The Filth Blood Beastman Tribal Chief’s Memorial Stone Tablet’ (Material)]
[You have obtained ‘Essence of the Giant’s Bloodline’ (Special Item)]
Although it’s only two items, it’s not considered a bountiful harvest, but the second special item piqued Lin Xun’s interest.
He opened his inventory.
[‘The Filth Blood Beastman Tribal Chief’s Memorial Stone Tablet’ (Material)]
[In the eyes of the Giant Beasts, we are nothing more than enslaved tools, servants, beasts… This dismal existence has persisted for countless generations of Filth Blood Beastmen.]
[We have also tried to rebel and wage war. However, the disparity in strength and size led our tribe to annihilation. Failure in the war made our lives even more unbearable.]
[Fortunately, we still have a glimmer of hope.]
[To maintain the grandeur of the tribal chief’s burial chamber, the Giant Beasts had to arrange for us to refurbish it every few years. It’s because of this that I discovered our ancestor Giant, worshipped and offered sacrifices deep within the tomb.]
[Oddly, every few years when I entered the burial chamber, the body of our ancestor seemed to have shrunk a little from the last time I saw it. On one occasion, I stumbled upon a startling secret…]
[The crystal coffin was initially used to condense the ancestor’s bloodline, serving as a container to awaken the ancestor. When the ancestor’s bloodline power reaches its peak, he will be revived with his eyes wide open, and the crystal coffin will automatically open.]
[Unexpectedly, the tribal chief exploited the features of the crystal coffin to seek power for himself…]
[Since then, I have been quietly collecting the Essence of the Ancestor’s Bloodline. These essences contain supreme power which could purify and elevate our bloodline.]
[Unfortunately, due to the mixed nature of our tribe’s bloodline, our tribe members could not bear such mighty power after consuming the essence, leading them into madness and eventual death. There has not yet been a member of our tribe who can bear the evolution of the bloodline.]
[Recently, the ancestor’s body has been getting smaller, and the Giant Beast’s tribal chief’s thirst for bloodline has not diminished but has instead increased.]
[I heard that the tribal chief has begun to deal with criminals among us, ostensibly executing them for violating tribal rules, but in reality to absorb their meager ancestor’s bloodline.]
[This undoubtedly shows that our ancestor’s bloodline has been drained to its limit, which is why the tribal chief who’s obsessed with the bloodline power is turning against his own kind. Let them fight amongst themselves!]
[My life is nearing its end. I have left this secret chamber in the burial chamber and handed down the key to open this chamber as a treasure amongst our tribe.]
[Successor, I hope that you can endure the mighty power of our ancestor’s bloodline, defeat and wipe out the tribe of the Giant Beasts, and restore the glory of our Filth Blood Beastman…]
Lin Xun pondered carefully over the contents of this material item.
The gist of it was that the oppressed Filth Blood Beastman Tribal Chief secretly extracted a portion of the Giant ancestor’s bloodline essence in a bid to enhance the strength of the tribe to resist the Giant Beasts.
Has the ancestor Giant been… drained dry?
“Damn it!”
Lin Xun braved countless danger to get here, only to be told by this ghostly game that the biggest reward wasn’t there anymore.
The ancestor Giant is the shell he’s been yearning for, now reduced to nothing but dregs.
What use could dregs possibly have?!
Suppressing his anger and resentment, Lin Xun turned to look at the other item.
[‘Essence of the Giant’s Bloodline’ (Special Item)]
