119: Did your grandfather dig up the graves of the Wu tribe?

Wang Damu cast a pleading look at Shen Nian, revealing his neat, white teeth, where mud residue was clearly visible in the gaps. He looked ridiculous, but he felt a sense of surprise inside.

He hadn't expected the other party could truly reach this level. Moreover, he had sensed the fluctuation just now—the Young Lord of the Witch Tribe had actually been instantly killed by the opponent!

Simply unbelievable!

It seems my old man was right. The Land of Heavenly Chaos in Great Xia is where Prodigies are most easily born; his words were true.

A Dragon has emerged from the Heavenly Sword Sect of Great Xia!

"This person was just digging a hole over there, was it to tunnel into the tomb?" Xiao Qinger recognized him; he was the strange, hole-digging gourd youth she had met on her way here.

"Is he Senior Brother's friend?" Xiao Qinger immediately grew curious.

But Shen Nian's voice rang out, providing an immediate answer.

"Why should I help you?" Shen Nian looked down at Wang Damu, instantly discerning his Realm: Late Golden Core Stage.

How did this kid, with only Golden Core Stage strength, enter the ruins ahead of time?

He could even contact the Witch Tribe... After searching the Witch God Lord's soul just now, Shen Nian discovered that Wang Damu had actually sought him out, telling the Witch God Lord that there was the Exotic Flame he desired in this ruin, and they could team up to explore the tomb, but the prerequisite was that he bring the heavenly sun gold stone.

Shen Nian knew that while there were many ways to contact the Upper Realm, they were definitely not something a Golden Core Cultivator could master.

This Wang Damu was strange in every way, so Shen Nian naturally wouldn't trust him easily.

"Ah, well, Fellow Daoist Shen, didn't we agree to be teammates?" Wang Damu was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"When did I agree to be your teammate?"

As soon as he said this, Wang Damu immediately felt awkward. Recalling their previous conversation, it seemed true: Shen Nian had only told him to wait.

Murong Chen, who was listening in confusion, leaned close to Qinger and whispered, "Miss Qinger, do you know anything about this teammate business?"

Xiao Qinger shook her head, then heard Wang Damu speak again.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, even if we aren't teammates, we're still secret friends from the great xia secret records, aren't we? And since you've come all this way, don't you want to take a look inside the tomb of this ruin's owner?"

"Look at this mountain again. It's forged from Obsidian. This material was extremely precious even in the Ancient Era. To use this much of it to build the tomb entrance, the owner must have been at least Void Return, and their status in the Ancient Era was definitely not low!"

"Perhaps, inside this tomb, there are Materials for forging a dao palace from the Ancient Era. Those are priceless treasures..."

Listening to Wang Damu, Shen Nian turned to look at the pitch-black mountain not far away. The mountain body emitted a faint light under the sun. Looking closely, its surface was covered in black gems, engraved with symbols. As the faint light circulated, the entire black mountain seemed to come alive, constantly shifting its orientation.

Only Shen Nian, who had mastery in Formation, could perceive this point.

"The complexity of this Formation is at least several hundred times higher than the one at the cliff. It should be a Void Return Grand Formation..." Shen Nian murmured to himself, runes swirling in his eyes. If he relied on simulation, he could break it open, but he couldn't waste preaching value anymore; he needed to save it to break through to Void Return.

"Great Tomb??" Murong Chen looked at the black mountain ahead in surprise, his eyes gleaming.

Inside the Ancient Era ruins owner's tomb, there must be a lot of good things!

Shen Nian retracted his gaze and glanced sideways at Wang Damu on the ground. If he wanted to enter the tomb, although Wang Damu was strange, Shen Nian's intuition told him that he did indeed have a way.

However... the next second, Shen Nian lightly tapped his toe.

Bang!

Sand flew and stones rolled, dust billowing everywhere.

Wang Damu was blasted out of the ground by a powerful force and ended up hanging on a treetop.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, actually, you could have used a gentler method..." Wang Damu descended with a somewhat mournful expression, using spiritual power to shake off the dust. He shook the Large Cyan Gourd on his back, and feeling that wasn't enough, he took it down, respectfully wiped it clean, and then put it back on his back.

Suddenly!

Boom!

A terrifying pressure suddenly permeated the air. Wang Damu's face instantly changed drastically, and he couldn't help but tremble as he asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, why is this?"

Why are you suddenly attacking me when everything was fine?!

Aren't we going tomb raiding anymore?

"I will only ask once." Shen Nian looked indifferently at Wang Damu, then asked again, "What do you need the heavenly sun gold stone for?"

Even if Wang Damu was useful, if he was constantly deceiving and scheming against him, Shen Nian saw no reason to keep him around.

This sudden change left both Murong Chen and Xiao Qinger stunned.

When Xiao Qinger recovered, she looked at Wang Damu with surprise.

heavenly sun gold stone?

He knows about it too?

"Hah, I thought you were going to ask something else..." Wang Damu immediately sighed in relief. He pointed at the black mountain in front of him and explained, "Everything I said before is true. This Formation must be broken using heavenly sun gold stone. The heavenly sun gold stone contains a trace of Extreme Yang Qi, which perfectly counters the Extreme Yin of the Obsidian, and the quantity cannot be small..."

"If my Wang Dachui hadn't been broken last time and I hadn't had time to repair it, I wouldn't need Fellow Daoist Shen to bring more..."

As he spoke, Wang Damu pulled out a large hammer to show Shen Nian. The hammer was badly cracked, and its Materials were also heavenly sun gold stone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian frowned slightly, clearly still unconvinced.

Just then, Xiao Qinger spoke, "Senior Brother, what he said should be true. I was in a wooden house before..."

"See, Fellow Daoist Shen, I really didn't lie to you! My Wang Family has been honest Ancient Civilization Explorers for generations; we never deceive people!" Wang Damu stated righteously, a hint of grievance in his eyes.

Murong Chen couldn't help but feel a little admiration looking at him.

It was the first time he had seen someone describe tomb raiding in such a refined and unconventional way.

After hearing Xiao Qinger's words, Shen Nian glanced at Xiao Qinger.

Is this the Daughter of Destiny... It seems this ruin was tailor-made for her... But Shen Nian's pressure still hadn't dissipated.

"Then how did you contact the Witch Tribe?"

After Shen Nian spoke, Xiao Qinger and Murong Chen both stared solemnly at Wang Damu. They hadn't expected people from the Witch Tribe to show up, and it turned out this youth had called them.

"That starts with my grandfather!" Wang Damu showed a look of pride.

"My grandfather once dug up... *cough, cough, cough* no, he explored the Witch Tribe Civilization."

"Inside, there was a special method of contact used among Witch Tribe Cultivators. I didn't think it would work, but I was bored and playing with it, and I actually managed to contact someone. Then I started chatting with them. I knew the tomb in this ruin was extraordinary and it would be difficult to gain anything relying solely on myself, so I kept looking for Prodigies to team up with. At the time, I just figured that since he was a Young Lord from the Upper Realm, his strength definitely wouldn't be weak..."

Wang Damu told the truth, then pulled out a piece of animal bone engraved with a Witch Tribe Totem.

Shen Nian glanced at the animal bone in the other party's hand. It was indeed a Communication Magical Artifact unique to the Witch Tribe. He had seen many when he was little. It was said that after his Shen Family Ninth Ancestor hammered the Witch Tribe, they happily came to apologize and offer compensation. Among the gifts were many unique Witch Tribe animal bone Communication Magical Artifacts.

He roughly had his answer. What Wang Damu said was likely true.

However... Shen Nian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did your grandfather dig up a Witch Tribe grave?"

The Witch Tribe is, after all, a Hegemon in the Upper Realm. The owner of a Communication Magical Artifact that can directly contact the Witch Tribe's direct lineage must have held a high status while alive. How did someone from the Lower Realm manage this?

"*Cough, cough, cough*, Fellow Daoist Shen, that wasn't digging up a grave, that was exploring..." Wang Damu coughed twice to correct him, then spoke with a look of longing, "My grandfather once went to the Upper Realm. That is also my dream, and I will go there in the future!"

He actually had a great dream in his heart: to explore the Shen Family Great Tomb, the oldest Human Race Family, recorded in his grandfather's diary.

That was also his grandfather's regret.

Of course, he didn't say it aloud.
