Episode 11 – Graveyard of the Gods Chapter 27 – A Hospitable Host
This black armored giant scorpion scorpion tail shot a strike, is too sinister. Even the strong man, also feel his soul is trembling up, the pain of his crazy hissing “Ow ~ ~ ~ ~” he wildly toward the surrounding attack, the surrounding icebergs directly by his smashed in all directions fly randomly.
At the same time, a trace of blood flowed out from the golden one-eye.
“There’s a chance.”
The black-armored giant scorpion rejoiced.
“Hurry up.”
The three-headed Six-eyed Golden Geibi, who knew the Evil Eye King’s details very well, however, shouted violently.
“I want you all to die!”
The Evil Eye King roared furiously, and his bleeding golden one-eye unexpectedly erupted with more than ten blood-red rays in an instant.
The three six-eyed golden geibeasts scurried into the passageway at fire speed, and one of them even grabbed the black-armored giant scorpion and brought it directly into the passageway. These four great magical beasts of theirs were the last to enter the passageway, and when they rushed into the ninth layer, they only heard ‘rumbling’ sounds in the eighth layer.
“Finally entering the ninth layer.”
Linley, Desiree, Faun and the others, however, had already arrived at this ninth layer before. When the three six-eyed gold and black-armored giant scorpions came in, the eleven powerhouses gathered once more. All of them looked at each other with a hint of a smile on their faces.
“Although we didn’t obtain a divine artifact, but everyone safely entered the ninth floor as well as being very lucky.”
Faun said smilingly.
“Whew, that was really scary just now.”
Rosalie revealed her true nature in a rare moment, “Luckily, that Evil Eye King’s attention was on Olivia, so we were able to take the opportunity to rush in.”
“Right, that Evil Eye King’s strength, in fact, hasn’t had time to really show, ‘Soul Freeze’ is just its ordinary attack, to be able to become a king in the Evil Eye clan. The strength is unfathomable. We are really lucky.”
Six-Eyed Gold also sighed.
Although the last strike of the Black Armored Giant Scorpion was powerful, it was just a matter of injuring the Evil Eye King at most, but it couldn’t kill it.
“We’re lucky, lucky to have Olivia.”
Desiree laughed and looked towards Olivia.
The crowd couldn’t help but look at Olivia.
Olivia, however, remained silent, among this group of strong people, Olivia was indeed a man of few words.
“Olivia, how come you’re fine after being hit by that ‘Soul Freeze’?”
Six-eyed Golden Geibeast inquired curiously.
Olivia hesitated for a moment. Squeezing out a few words, “I don’t know either.”
Everyone didn’t ask any more, no matter if people really didn’t know or didn’t want to say, it was inappropriate to pursue the matter.
“Everyone be careful, the danger of this ninth layer is not expected to be lower than the eighth layer.”
Desiree spoke out, “We can’t expect to be as lucky every time as we were last time.”
Linley and the others nodded as well.
Not getting a divine artifact on the eighth floor didn’t bother everyone at all.
In fact, compared to the divine artifacts, the group’s true goal was the divine lattice. And the divine lattice would only appear at the eleventh layer. As for the twelfth layer. Linley and the others didn’t even dare to think about it, and according to Beirut and the others, reaching the divine level was the only way to have the ability to defend themselves at the twelfth layer.
To be able to reach the eleventh layer as early as possible without suffering losses. That was what the crowd was looking forward to.
“This ninth layer, it seems to be quite secretive as well.”
Linley looked around the ninth layer of the Graveyard of Gods.
Below Linley and the others was the azure ocean of waves, waves of water that couldn’t be seen to the end at a glance. In this ninth level of the Graveyard of Gods world, aside from this endless ocean, there was a green, quiet island not far away.
“Everyone be careful, after we pass this layer, we can safely prepare to enter the eleventh layer, this is the last difficult barrier before the eleventh layer.”
Suddenly Li Lei said solemnly.
Everyone watched their surroundings carefully.
Although it was only the ninth layer now, there was still the tenth layer after that. However, Linley and the others knew. Five layers in this Graveyard of Gods were one level, and this tenth layer would instead be much simpler and easier than the sixth to ninth layers.
People didn’t treat the tenth level as difficult, but just as a place to rest and prepare.
It was like, not treating the fifth level as a difficult level.
“The surroundings are boundless oceans.”
Rosalie frowned, “There aren’t any higher buildings at all, so it’s estimated that the passageway to the tenth floor could only be in one place, and that’s it.”
Rosalie pointed towards the sea island in the distance.
“The passageway to the tenth floor. It should be on the sea island.”
Linley nodded secretly.
After all, aside from the sea island, it was the ocean. If the passageway was set at the bottom of the boundless earth, how long would it take to search for it alone? Linley believed that the lofty Lord God who had arranged this Graveyard of Gods wouldn’t have designed it like this.
“Depart.”
Desiree spoke.
The eleven powerhouses flew towards the distant island at the same time. Every single one of them was incredibly careful. As long as they passed this ninth layer, then …… stepping into the eleventh layer to obtain the ‘God’s Grimoire’ would be close at hand. Everyone didn’t want to fail at this layer.
The island was peaceful, and Linley’s eleven powerhouses landed on the beach.
“WOW~~~” the waves gently lapped against the shore of the beach, which was bordered by gravel, the waves of water coming in to cover the beach at times and retreating away at others. The sea breeze was blowing slightly. The tall trees, flowers and grasses on the island’s ground were all blown ‘clattering’.
“What a peaceful place.”
A smile appeared on Rosalie’s face.
“Beautiful indeed.”
Linley’s group of people couldn’t feel in the slightest where the crisis was in this ninth layer.
“Go find the passageway.”
Faun laughed.
The eleven powerhouses immediately stepped into the depths of this sea island and began to carefully search for the passageway to the tenth layer on this one sea island. This sea island had a beautiful view, and there was also a small mountain in the center of the island, which the eleven powerhouses stepped onto after searching for a long time.
“The rest of the sea island has been searched, this passageway, it should be on this small hill.”
Linley tilted his head and looked at the winding mountain path.
The mountain path was rugged, but it was just that Linley and the others were very fast, drifting through the mountains like the wind, and soon arrived high up on this small mountain. However, when the eleven powerhouses descended to the heights of this small mountain, they froze.
In the center of the island, on top of the hill, beside a short tree, there was a wooden house.
In front of the wooden house, there was a stone table and a stone chair.
A handsome fair-skinned, dressed in grass leaf compiled clothes with a grass year was sitting on the stone chair. He was drinking tea with great enjoyment. This scene was quiet, but Linley and the other group of people were feeling fear in their hearts. A person had suddenly come out of this ninth layer.
Without a doubt!
This fair-skinned, straw-hatted teenager in front of them was the very creature that had stopped them in the ninth floor.
“Humans, magical beasts, and dragon people?”
That teenager had a pair of light blue eyes, and as he looked at the eleven strong people in front of him, there was a trace of an elegant smile at the corner of his mouth, “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Rui. Don’t be nervous everyone, I have no ill will towards you. Let’s all sit down and chat. There are stone benches over there.”
Not far away, there was indeed a row of stone benches, only that they were covered in a layer of gray.
“This teenager, what’s his origin?”
Linley felt peculiar.
“Think this stool is dirty?”
The teenager waved his hand, and a soft wind swept away, rolling up all of those stone benches and finally landing in front of Linley and the others. The dust on top of each stone stool was made clean. The teenager smiled faintly. Revealing a bright smile, “This way, everyone can sit down, right?”
“What trick is this teenager playing?”
Linley and the others felt confused.
From the time they had entered the Graveyard of Gods until now, Linley and the others had never encountered anything so strange.
Linley and the others looked at each other.
“Could there be something wrong with this stool?”
Linley used his spiritual energy to carefully investigate, but this stone stool was just a very ordinary stone stool.
“Sit.”
Six-eyed Gold, however, directly leapt up. It ended up squatting on the stone bench.
Linley, Desiree, and the others also sat down in turn.
“Everyone, let’s see what happens, if this bizarre teenager, casts any tricks, we absolutely cannot show any mercy.”
Desley said as he transmitted his voice to the other powerhouses.
The eleven strongmen all reached a consensus.
“Good, good.”
The straw-hatted teenager ‘Ruyi’ was incredibly happy, Ruyi’s clear gaze swept over Linley’s group, and a trace of mist unexpectedly appeared in his eyes, “Ever since I was banished to the Graveyard of the Gods, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve interacted with creatures from another land.”
“Here. It’s quiet, as if it’s a dead land!”
There is a hint of resentment in Rui’s eyes, “There is no one else, not a single creature to communicate with. Even the sea …… does not even have a fish or a snake. Dead sea! This is the dead sea without any life! There is not a single bird, not a single animal on the island! There is no other life! It’s like a graveyard!”
“Luckily, you guys are finally here.”
A smile appeared on Rui’s face. “The eleven powerhouses were all a bit stunned in their hearts.
“This Straw Hat Junior, what is he?”
Rui smiled brightly and said, “I know very well what you guys came to the Graveyard of Gods for. You guys don’t need to think much. I can tell you all that I am the banished person of the ninth level. But unlike the other banished ones, I won’t kill you all.”
Linley and the other eleven powerhouses were puzzled for a moment in their hearts.
Not kill?
“Provided that you don’t try to enter the tenth layer.”
Ruyi added another sentence.
Ruyi smiled and said, “I want you all to stay here and chat with me, and if you don’t enter the tenth layer, I won’t attack you either. Isn’t this a happy situation for all? When the time comes. I think you guys are able to leave the Graveyard of Gods naturally.”
Chatting with company?
Linley’s group of powerhouses all somewhat understood. This straw-hatted teenager had actually planned it this way.
When they encountered this kind of banished person at the ninth level, Linley and the others were still relatively happy, at least the other party hadn’t hunted down and killed them as soon as they arrived like the Flame Monarch. However, for all of them to accompany the straw-hatted teenager here. Until the end of the ten year period.
This was something Linley and the others couldn’t accept.
“In this case, I’ll accompany this straw-hatted teenager and chat while everyone enters the tenth floor. Perhaps this Straw Hat Junior can agree.”
Desiree suddenly soul-sentenced the other ten powerhouses. It was obvious that Desiree had decided to make a sacrifice. After all, this straw-hatted teenager in front of him was able to stay on the ninth floor, and his strength was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Linley, Fain, Bebe, and the others all looked towards Desley.
“Rui.”
The black-armored giant scorpion that had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, “If I’m willing to stay here and chat with you until the end of the period. Can you allow my other ten friends to enter the tenth floor?”
The black-armored giant scorpion’s sudden opening caused Linley and the others to be taken aback.
“No way.”
The straw-hatted teenager frowned, “I hope you guys don’t force me, I can’t kill you if you don’t enter the tenth level, but once you try to enter, then I’ll have no choice but to kill you all.”
“En?”
Linley and the others frowned.
“I found the passageway ladder.”
Rosalie’s surprised voice resounded in the minds of Linley, Faun, and the rest of the group, “The passage ladder to the tenth level is in the woods behind that wooden house. From my position, I’m able to see two or three levels of the ladder and the shrouded black light.”
“A passageway ladder?”
Linley’s heart burst with surprise as they did so.
Hearing where the passageway ladder was, they couldn’t help but occasionally glance towards that location as well.
“Oh, finally found the passageway?”
The straw-hatted teenager smiled, “What are your choices, will you fight with me, or will you spend some peaceful days with me?”
“Wow.”
Linley, Faun, and many other powerhouses stood up at the same time.
Desiree smiled, “Ruy, we don’t want to fight against you, and we also hope that you’ll get out of the way.”
The straw-hatted teenager ‘Ruy’ was still smiling.
However, the anger that had been silent for thousands of years in the bottom of his heart surged up again, and his heart was secretly annoyed, “These lowly humans in front of me, they really don’t know how to appreciate their honor, originally, I still wanted to trick them into staying with me, and finally, quietly collect their souls. But now it seems ……”
Linley and the other eleven powerhouses were on careful alert, always ready to strike.
“Peng!”
The original Ruyi’s body steeply exploded, sending blades of grass flying about.
A silver light flew out from Rui’s exploded body and shot directly towards the closest to him, Turquoise Thunder.
