Chapter 329: Beast King's Tomb
Xia Shou hugged Su Weiyu, stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood something.

Xia Shou let go of Su Weiyu, coughed, and pretended to be relaxed: "I almost thought you were all dead. This time it was really too dangerous."

"Hmm...hmm." Su Weiyu nodded blankly, her body still stiff and her cheeks a little hot.

So this is what it feels like to be hugged. She hasn't been hugged by anyone for ten years.

"They should still be in the tomb. I was shocked when I first came out and saw everyone become like this, but it seems that there is no danger now. The Beast King's Tomb is also very safe, but some places are a bit strange." Su Weiyu said calmly, chatting about business as if she was reporting work.

Xia Shou nodded: "Let's finish all the tasks at once, we'll go to the tomb first."

……

……

The two came to the center of Redthorn Manor again.

Without the Shadow Demon's guard, this sealed place was completely safe. The faint light from the burning rib fragments created a mirage-like second space, and they entered another alien world through the light.

Passing through one mirage after another, Xia Shou felt like he was traveling through history. The surrounding scenes became more and more ancient, and finally he entered an empty, windless, dark desert.

A cold moon hung in the sky, and the cold moonlight shone on the pale wall in the desert. The wall was a hundred meters high and stretched for thousands of kilometers on both sides, with no end in sight. Rows of huge square stone tablets tens of meters high stood like dominoes in front of the white wall.

Xia Shou followed Su Weiyu and walked along the fallen burning bone fragments. The two of them climbed over hills and walked towards the high white wall.

She pointed to the huge stone tablets in the distance and said, “Those are the memorials, and this is the burial site.”

Xia Shou frowned. In his imagination, the cemetery of the legendary mythical creature should be a huge and magnificent mausoleum, but here was just a vast desert.

Su Weiyu looked at the white wall and said with emotion: "Do you think it is a wall? I thought so when I first came here, but after seeing those monuments, I realized that it was a rib of the Beast King."

"Is it a rib?" Xia Shou was shocked.

The height of this wall exceeds that of most modern high-rise buildings, and its length on both sides is so long that you can’t see the ends at all. It is even more spectacular than the Great Wall, but this is just a rib?
If it is really a rib, then how big would the Beast King's body be?
The two trudged through the undulating sand dunes and came to a huge monument. On the monument was a series of murals, and Lin Rize and others were standing in front of the monument, busy at work.

"How's the progress?" Xia Shou asked as he walked up from behind.

"You really survived!" Tobeka turned her head and stared at Xia Shou in surprise, as if she had seen a ghost.

"What you said... makes it sound like I must die. Didn't I always say that we have a chance of winning?" Xia Shou said speechlessly.

"I thought you wanted to sacrifice yourself to buy us some time, so you said that on purpose."

Farr smiled slightly and said, "If I win, give me three thousand dollars when I get back."

Tobeka shrugged. "Fortunately, I didn't gamble much."

Xia Shou shook his head and had nothing to say to the two of them. Just as he thought, Fal and Tobeka seemed to have nothing to do here at all. The only ones who were working seriously on the scene were Lin Rize and Ke Hen.

Ke Hen was looking at the mural. Lin Rize had just packed some white things and was retreating from the rib wall.

Seeing Xia Shou coming, Lin Rize raised the bag in his hand and said, "My work is done. I cut some bone fragments from the skeleton of the Beast King."

"I thought this bone was very hard." said Xia Shou.

"It's not hard. It is indestructible. It can only be cut by the power of the Splitting Shears. I am the patron of the Splitting Shears, so I took off a little bit." After saying that, Lin Rizhe looked at Ke Hen on the side: "But Ke Hen's work doesn't seem to be going smoothly. Her task is to restore the scene here to the past, but she encountered trouble."

When Ke Hen saw Xia Shou coming, he waved at him and called him aside.

"My mission was to restore the scene of the Beast King's Tomb, but now I can't do it."

"Can something so far away be restored?"

“Of course not. The time of the Beast King’s burial site is the same as that of the Blood Dynasty. It is a cyclical time that repeats itself in the fifty years after the burial site was built. So if this bone is turned back a hundred years, it may be the Beast King who is still alive.

Otherwise, why do you think the tomb of Beast King, a mythological character from ancient times who was involved in the legend of the Splitting Shear, is still so intact after so many years?
Of course, this is information provided by the bureau, which says it is intelligence obtained from reliable documents. I don’t know whether it is true or not, I just came here to give it a try.

The Minister wants me to replay the scene and watch the Beast King skeleton being split by the Splitting Shears."

Xia Shou asked worriedly: "Is this kind of thing... worth watching?"

He thought of the figure of the poet he had seen before. Just seeing it had an immeasurable impact on his spirit. The reason he did not turn into a paper man outside was purely because he traveled into the original world.

"The minister has taken measures for me. If it is something that cannot be seen, then Canyue will keep it secret and not let me see it." Ke Hen sighed.
“But it doesn’t matter now. It may be that the waning moon prevents me from seeing it, or it may be that the time span and spatial scale of the split are too large, making it impossible to restore it.

Looking at this period of history from my perspective is like an ant trying to watch two humans fighting. Even if I raise my head as high as I can, I can only see a very small part. After all, one of the Beast King's ribs is only this big.

This time I should go back and ask the minister for instructions.

By the way, congratulations on surviving, I thought you were going to die."

Xia Shou sighed: "Why do you say that? I clearly said I can handle it."

"I thought it was just words of comfort. After all, you look like someone who is used to sacrificing himself for the sake of the overall situation. I guess other than Vice Captain Lin, everyone else thinks you have no confidence at all."

"No, Farr also bets on my life." Xia Shou retorted.

"That's because we can't all bet on one side. Vice Captain Lin refused to participate in the gambling, so the three of us played rock-paper-scissors, and the loser bet on the tail side...Fal lost, that's all."

"Isn't this a bit too insulting?" Xia Shou was a little angry.

Ke Hen, however, explained as a matter of course: "In war, soldiers would also bet on how many people would be killed in a night raid. In this high-pressure environment, ritualistic behavior that suppresses the value of life can effectively relieve mental stress in the subconscious.

If you gamble my life or death in the future, I will definitely not be angry."

Xia Shou had nothing to say and decided not to continue dwelling on this topic.

Now Lin Rize's mission has been completed, and Ke Hen's mission cannot be continued due to special reasons. The only one left is the monster commissioned by Xia Na, which can survive in multiple time periods.

But according to the information, the monster is in the underground maze of the royal capital. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have turned into poetry like the Shadow Demon.

But to be on the safe side, I should go and take a look later. Even if he is not dead, it will be easy to kill him by burning his blood into fire.

"By the way, Wei Yu, you said before that this tomb is strange. What's strange about it?"

"I have to state in advance that this is just my personal opinion, but there is indeed something wrong with the content of these murals."
