Chapter 1234: Chapter 475: Doubts about the Tomb of Doppelganger _3

Without a doubt, Borg was the leader of the witch priests of that era. However, whether it was him or anyone else, it would be impossible for their subordinates to offer up all Tire-8 witchcraft instruments. It must have cost Borg a great deal to "collect" these artifacts.

"What exactly is he trying to do?"

Owen Bertram and Predecessor Santa were perplexed. Why would one want to turn oneself into a powerful zombie devoid of self-consciousness? Bertram recalled that during their battle earlier, his finger had suddenly weakened... He rubbed his chin in contemplation, "Quickly find the second suspicious tomb. I have some speculations that need verification."

Owen Bertram then called Windsor over and asked her about the large Witch Seals in this area, from a witch priest’s perspective, if there was anything unusual?

Ashamed, Windsor knelt down, "I’m incompetent, the level of the witch seals here is too high for me..."

Owen Bertram couldn’t blame her. The gap between a Fifth Realm and Borg’s sphere of influence was too great. After thinking about it, Owen Bertram asked, "Was the location of Borg’s Great Tomb informed to you by the Great Chieftain?"

Windsor nodded, "Only on the night before we entered the Ancient Annihilation Domain, did the Great Chieftain secretly gather the eight of us and relayed this location. According to the Chieftain, he and many other older witch priests deciphered this from our tribe’s ancient scripts.

However, there were a few predecessors from our tribe who were close to the Great Chieftain. According to the information they secretly passed on, the Great Chieftain had indeed gathered many ancient texts, but no one found any clues despite a long search."

Touching his chin, Owen Bertram asked, "Did any of you eight suspect the Great Chieftain?"

Windsor replied, "How dare we question the Great Chieftain? Besides, many ancient Golden Leaves books from the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region have always been in the hands of the Great Chieftain, only passed down from one Chieftain to the next. These Golden Leaves books record the most powerful witchcrafts and the oldest secrets of our 36 Tribes."

Owen Bertram started to speculate: Did Borg leave any hints in the Golden Leaves Books? Looking back now at the opening of the tomb here and the Great Chieftain once again sending hundreds of outstanding young Northern witch priests into the Ancient Annihilation Domain, none of it seemed coincidental. The Great Chieftain must know the real secret of the Snow Mountain Ancient Destruction Domain and Borg’s Great Tomb.

"Locate the second suspicious tomb!"

This wasn’t difficult. Soon, Owen Bertram and Predecessor Santa both sensed the familiar rising of five streams of black smoke from a thousand miles away!

When they rushed over, they found that it was almost the same scenario. An ancient corpse climbed out of the underground tomb, still gnawing on the intruder who had entered this place!

With a loud reprimand from Bertram, he overlapped his mini-world with this one. He surveyed the area: "No soul—it has been devoured along with the body by the Ancient Corpse."

The Swordswoman sprang into action, the battle unfolding in the same manner as in the first tomb. In the end, a section of the leg was condensed from the broken Ancient Corpse. However, Owen Bertram timed it all, finding that this corpse fragment survived for a much shorter time - it weakened suddenly in the midst of combat with the Swordswoman.

Santa came to Owen Bertram’s side: "What are you thinking?"

"Don’t worry about that now, let’s just try to destroy as much as we can in these suspicious tombs."

Soon, the suspicious tombs in the entire Ancient Annihilation Domain started erupting, reaching a climax. Even with Owen Bertram and Predecessor Santa dividing their forces, they could only simultaneously break down two tombs.

However, in this Ancient Annihilation Domain, there were seventy-two suspicious tombs in total. The Great Chieftain had sent in hundreds of people—these people should know the location of the tombs. At its peak, more than a dozen tombs erupted at once!

Owen Bertram was hoping to catch some of the second batch of elite Northerners who had entered. However, the Snow Mountain Ancient Destruction Domain was incredibly vast, with each tomb thousands of miles apart from each other. Even though hundreds of people were sent in, their distribution throughout the entire Ancient Annihilation Domain... the chances of running into one or two of them were incredibly slim.

Owen Bertram, joined forces with Predecessor Santa to wipe out the corpses in the nine suspected tombs, but the next moment, they sensed five plumes of black smoke carrying a heavy smell of death rising a thousand miles away! Owen Bertram sighed, flying over, hoping this time, there would be some smart fellows.

Alas, there were no such lucky ones.

This time, the ones who discovered the tombs were four Northern Witch Priests; they would never suspect their Great Chieftain, therefore, upon discovering the Great Tomb, they excitedly rushed in, all becoming prey to the Ancient Corpse. After annihilating this batch of corpses, Owen Bertram roared in frustration to the heavens!

Verna approached sympathetically, gently hugging her elder brother’s arm: "Bro, don’t be angry, it’s the people from the Northern Region who are to blame, it’s not your fault that you can’t save them."

Elder brother forced a smile, patting Verna’s head. What a good girl she is, though she misunderstood his intentions. Owen Bertram didn’t care about the life and death of these Northern people, but without capturing a live one, he wouldn’t get the map to the distribution of the suspected tombs, and couldn’t confirm his suspicion.

Then Verna asked, "Bro, if you want to save people, can we just find these tombs first to prevent people from entering and sacrificing themselves?"

Owen Bertram looked at Verna: "Can you find these tombs?"

"Of course," Verna nodded honestly: "These corpses stink so bad, I can smell them from a long distance..." Verna found herself being lifted up by her brother, who kissed both her cheeks. Oh, there are so many people around, she’s a grown girl, how embarrassing!

"Hahaha!" Owen Bertram laughed: "Let’s go, take me to the nearest Great Tomb."

"Okay." Verna quietly wiped the saliva off her face.

Owen Bertram also regretted not asking Verna earlier. This little girl always brings surprises. Sniffing along the way, Verna locked onto a yet-undiscovered suspected tomb about five hundred miles away.

The tomb was hidden in a desolate desert, where the land was flat with no sign revealing an ancient tomb beneath. Verna, with her nose close to the ground, sniffing for a good while, finally pinpointed the exact location.

However, her elder brother didn’t stay there to stop the Northern Witch Priests, instead, he drew his sword and thrust it into the ground!

Boom...

The enormous Witch Seal was activated, and the Ancient Corpse awakened from its slumber. However, the ensuing battle surprised Glenn Mitchell and the others, as this Ancient Corpse seemed weaker. Half a foot materialized from the Ancient Corpse, which crumbled to dust under a single collision with the Swordswoman!

"Just as I thought!" Owen Bertram shouted, "These suspected tombs need to devour fresh blood and souls. The more they devour, the stronger they become. Therefore, the finger that devoured Lionel Turner and his companions is the most powerful. The one that only ate one person’s leg couldn’t last long."

Santa immediately understood: "Borg set this up, certainly not to leave a Tire-9 zombie for the descendants. His resurrection requires devouring living people, so there must be a conscious will involved. But how did he achieve this? It’s very difficult for a Witch Priest to do this. In which part of the body is his consciousness stored? The skull?"

Once again, Owen Bertram had Verna locate a yet-to-burst Great Tomb. This time he truly waited for opportunity, capturing a young Northern Witch Priest.//

But no matter how Owen Bertram and Windsor explained and tried to persuade him, the young Witch Priest refused to believe that the Great Chieftain would betray him. Instead, he insulted Windsor as a traitor. Without hesitation, Owen Bertram decided to probe his memories!

In the young Witch Priest’s memory, there was indeed a map of the Snow Mountain Ancient Destruction Domain, marking seventy-one "suspected" burial grounds of Borg. By now, Owen Bertram could confirm: "The Great Chieftain must have learned the truth from the Golden Leaves Ancient Books, yet he unhesitatingly sent the most gifted young people of his tribe to be devoured by the Ancient Corpse..."

"He could have just chosen mediocre individuals. That also could have replenished Borg’s life force. Why did he have to pay such a huge price?"
