Chapter 1848: Chapter 1560: Searching for Graves (Two-in-One)_2

“Inheritance? Haha, this is a rare opportunity! Oh, right, are you sure the elder will give us a chance to open the tomb?”

Banana said uncertainly, “If it were me, if I were the guardian of the tomb, I wouldn’t tell others the coordinates of the tomb. First, to protect the tomb, and second… we’re not that familiar with it yet!”

“Huh?”

It was only then that Su Ran realized the problem. From the beginning to the end, Beast King Xisi hadn’t told him the precise coordinates of the tomb. Does that mean his role as a guardian was purely self-imposed?

However, if Beast King Xisi were really that smart, he would have quit this thankless tomb-guarding job long ago; ordinary people couldn’t stand such loneliness!

This showed that such a possibility was almost nonexistent. Following logical deduction, the next step would be entering the tomb, just be cautious of Uncle Yu’s sneak attack. Of course, with the Five-Star Constellation Seal, even if Uncle Yu wanted to attack, it would come at a great cost.

“Huh, what’s got you stumped now? Also, Uncle Yu has coveted this for so many millennia; he will definitely still try to sabotage in secret. You can’t be careless!”

Banana voiced his concerns, lowering his voice, “Buddy, while the Beast King is recovering, we should go find it ourselves. We’re pros at tomb digging, and with the key, getting the inheritance from the Beast Tomb shouldn’t be hard. Don’t you think?”

“I have a hunch; the tomb isn’t here. Otherwise, why couldn’t Uncle Yu find it? Let’s just wait. The old Beast King had said that it intends to free the Beast Spirit, and that can’t be faked.”

“Alright, I just hope we don’t get fooled by this guy. It would be embarrassing for players like us to get tricked by an NPC.”

Banana glanced worriedly at Beast King Xisi lying there; that fox-like face gave a sneaky impression, making him even more uneasy.

“The key’s with me, so what are you afraid of? Without it, the Beast Spirit can’t come out. Just wait and see.”

Su Ran didn’t think there was much to worry about. Once Beast King Xisi recovered, he was eager to see just how mighty the Beast Clan inheritance was, to have Uncle Yu remember it for tens of thousands of years!

Minute by minute, Su Ran and Banana felt as if time dragged on endlessly, while also guarding against Uncle Yu hidden in the shadows. This feeling was unpleasant and was evident from their expressions and actions.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Beast King Xisi finally stirred, slowly rising into the air, looking down at Su Ran and Banana, and said in a kind tone, “You two foreign warriors have worked hard.”

“Not at all, not at all, it’s our duty to protect the elder. Being too polite actually makes us strangers.”

Su Ran quickly spoke before Banana could, fearing the boy would say something inappropriate, affecting the Beast King’s mood.

Banana glanced at Su Ran in slight surprise but said nothing more.

“For you to have such awareness is a great comfort to me.”

Beast King Xisi nodded its fox head in satisfaction with the two, “Would you be willing to accompany me to rescue the Beast Spirit?”

“Elder, we are willing, even if it means braving fire and water!”

Banana perked up upon realizing the main event was dawning, patting his chest to pledge earnestly.

“Very well, when the Beast Spirit is unsealed, you shall have the principal merit!”

Beast King Xisi laughed heartily, “Five stars, merge!”

As soon as the words fell, the five golden light orbs floated from the ground again, this time not forming a pentagram but merging into one. Under Beast King Xisi’s control, this light orb drifted to the right front, not too quickly, barely reaching thirty paces, easy to follow.

However, what concerned Su Ran was that it led precisely in the direction where Uncle Yu had escaped, implying that a confrontation with him was inevitable.

The earlier scene also confirmed Beast King Xisi’s words; the Five-Star Constellation Array was indeed crucial, even capable of guiding direction. No wonder it went all out to preserve it; if the array were destroyed, the Beast Spirit would become a relic forever, and having a treasure map would be useless.

“Follow me!”

Beast King Xisi didn’t hesitate, leading the two along the light orb’s trajectory, and soon, they covered nearly a hundred meters.

“Brother Overturning Water, you were right, the tomb was relocated elsewhere, no wonder Uncle Yu couldn’t find it, but…”

Banana recalled something, glancing at Beast King Xisi ahead, and then asked Su Ran in a low voice, “I remember Uncle Yu said that this treasure place is connected to the Dark Honored One. He even gave you the treasure map for this reason. Do you think this is a decoy?”

“I don’t know for sure. There’s been no response so far; likely nine out of ten it’s false, just a lure for me to bite the bait.”

Prompted by Banana, Su Ran finally recalled what Uncle Yu had said. Now he understood, this place was merely the Beast Spirit’s tomb, having nothing to do with the Dark Honored One. If there were any causal link, it would’ve been apparent long ago, not requiring such passivity.

“Not necessarily. When Uncle Yu said that, he looked serious, not like he was faking it. It might be possible.”

Unexpectedly, Banana was quite persistent about this, “Can’t miss even a slight possibility. If you have any artifact from the Dark Honored One, take it out. If there’s a response, at least you won’t miss your chance.”

“Whether it relates to the Dark Honored One, wouldn’t asking clear it up?”

Su Ran felt it was absurd but had no argument against Banana. So, he asked the Beast King Xisi in front, “Elder, I have a question…”

“I know the Dark Honored One.”

Before Su Ran could ask, Beast King Xisi had already given the answer.

Uh.

The whispers were overheard by this Beast King, which was slightly embarrassing. Fortunately, they hadn’t spoken ill of him, avoiding being caught…

Wait.

He says he knows the Dark Honored One?

Could it be that everything Uncle Yu said is true?

Su Ran’s heart surged with excitement. If this involved the Dark Honored One, there would most likely be opportunities matched with the Beast Clan inheritance—a double blessing! With that thought, Su Ran was at a loss for words to describe his feelings.

“Elder, Brother Overturning Water has inherited the Dark Honored One’s teachings; he is a descendant of that lineage. Is there anything left behind by the Dark Honored One that we could take back to the Undead Clan, to at least return it to its roots?”

Banana honestly voiced, conveying what Su Ran intended to say, using a third-party perspective to present the case, increasing credibility.

“What?”

Beast King Xisi paused hearing this, giving Su Ran a deep look, “Undead, is what he says true?”

“Indeed, it is.”

Su Ran sensed opportunity and spared no reservation, “Before their death, the Honored One passed down to me the Treading on Air Technique and the Magic Technique ‘Bone Burst,’ even gifting me an ancient relic. I owe the Honored One much and wish to perform some rites for them, which I hope you understand.”

“Magic Technique? Ancient relic? He was quite generous!”

Beast King Xisi was amazed, then sighed, “Generous or not doesn’t matter; in death, all becomes illusionary. No matter how formidable the skills, one can neither bring them in birth nor take them after death. Undead, your fortune is indeed favorable. In this tomb, the Dark Honored One left a special treasure, which is also the root of the Beast Spirit’s confinement.”

“You mean, the Beast Spirit is sealed because of the Dark Honored One?”

Su Ran sensed something wasn’t right. If this were true, it would be one big problem; wouldn’t he be walking right into the trap?

“Yes, and no.”
