Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 345 Old Man
"Honestly, young people these days are so reckless. They actually planned to shout that guy's name right there in his grave. It's really frightening for the old man."

Soraya, who had been attacked earlier and was presumably dead, calmly stood up and complained.

His tone was no different from before, but his manner of speaking had changed, transforming him from a gentle and polite gentleman into a nagging old man.

Yes, an old man. The kind of old man who's gotten a bit older and likes to give unsolicited advice and guidance to young people, the kind of old man whose intentions are good, but who always makes people feel uncomfortable while they're grateful.

Was this guy like that just now?

It can only be said that this tone of voice contrasted sharply with his appearance, making Lu Ze feel a strong sense of unease. Lu Ze didn't see what method he used, but the female demigod suddenly became unable to move, clearly controlled by him using some kind of ability.

As for Lu Ze himself, no thought of resistance could even arise in his mind, and the idea of ​​calling out to Amon had completely vanished.

This guy looks even more powerful than a demigod!

Is it sequence 3 or sequence 2? It can't be sequence 1, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Ze couldn't help but glance at Sharon on the ground and found that she was also completely bewildered.

They initially thought it was just an ordinary exploration team, but they never expected that everyone in it was a powerful individual, including a Sequence 4 demigod and even more mysterious beings above that level, all gathered in this small team.

Sharon, you're so lucky!
Lu Ze thought to himself, a heavy feeling creeping over him. If he still had a chance to fight to the death at Sequence 4, then if an existence higher than that appeared, he would truly be helpless.

Unless we can get him out to sea.
While Luze was having his own thoughts, the female demigod was also communicating with Soroya.

"Who are you! How did you do that!"

She was panicked, like a puppy being held up in someone's hand.

"You're a descendant of Jacob's family? The lineage has been broken down so much, you didn't even notice anything when you heard my name?"

Soraya simply shook his head, looking quite wistful. In just a moment, he had taken control of the entire situation. It made one wonder why he had pretended to be dead for so long.

After sighing a few times, he reached out and pressed down on the female demigod.

"boom!"

"what--"

With a piercing scream from the woman, the demigod's body suddenly turned into a bloody mist. From within the mist, something tiny seemed to shoot out, fleeing away from the tomb passage, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Ok?"

Lu Ze shuddered, feeling something invisible return to his body. The previously restless lambs immediately quieted down and obediently retreated into their respective pens.

With that demigod defeated, his "herding" ability has returned!
Lu Ze was both happy and worried. The good news was that he had regained his most powerful ability, but the bad news was that this "Zoroah" could easily turn a demigod into a bloody mist, so his own strength was only more terrifying.

"For Jacob's sake, I won't kill you, I'll just teach you a lesson."

"Zoroah said calmly. He opened his hand, stirred it in the blood mist, and picked up a strange, transparent worm. The worm was already dead and had twelve segments in its body."

"call--"

Soroya clasped his right hand together, and when he opened it again, the insect had vanished. A satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he let out a long sigh.

"That's a pretty good reward."

He nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Zoroya looked up and glanced at Luze and Sharon.

coming soon!
Lu Ze tensed up, then heard the other person slowly speak and ask, "Young man, would you be willing to do me a favor?"

Help? Lu Ze was taken aback, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

You're already a Sequence 4 or higher being, why would you need a Sequence 5 like me to help you?
"You're at such a high level, do you still need my help?"

That's what he thought, and that's why he asked the question.

"hehe."

Zorua chuckled softly and pointed to the burial chamber on the other side of the passageway, where the candles were still burning brightly. "Because the situation inside is a bit complicated."

Could you please explain?

Lu Ze thought for a moment and then asked.

For some reason, the old man, despite his powerful tone, was surprisingly kind. He didn't suddenly attack and try to eliminate him like an insect; instead, he communicated with him amicably.

This in itself is a form of special treatment.

"Young man, how much do you know about this cemetery and the person who lived there? Don't call him by his name!"

Soros countered with a question.

"Um, I heard that the tomb's occupant was from a noble family of the Quaternary period."

Lu Ze feigned ignorance, deliberately omitting the scenes he had witnessed in his hallucinations.

As they talked, he walked to the other side of the tomb passage and helped Sharon up. Using flesh magic, he found that she didn't have any obvious external injuries, only that she seemed somewhat listless. This was probably because the demigoddess hadn't had a chance to deal with her before Luze had drawn her attention.

"Great Nobles"

Soloar looked at Luze and smiled slightly. He seemed to have guessed that Luze was hiding something, but he didn't expose him. He simply said, "This family actually only has that one guy. The rest are all his clones. Just like this tomb, it's not his real burial place, but just for other purposes."

Lu Ze had already guessed that the tomb was fake, but the idea that all the family members were the same person was a bit too sensational.

Goodness, what do these clones do all day? Do they play cards at home?
A similar thought flashed through his mind, and then Luze began to feel confused about how the old man had angered Zoroya.

Why does this guy have such a deep understanding of the nobles of the Fourth Epoch? And judging from his strange strength, maybe this old man is also from the Fourth Epoch!
"So, what was the purpose of this tomb?"

Lu Ze suppressed the thoughts welling up in his mind and then asked.

"You'll find out later."

Soraya simply gave him a meaningful smile. "Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

He walked a few steps to the main burial chamber, facing the strange sight inside, and said, "I need you to enter this burial chamber and destroy its eerie state."

Are you telling me to go inside?

Is it trying to make me, like those guys on the ground, rapidly lose my life force until I die of old age?
"Sir, why don't you go yourself?"

"If I go, that guy will find out."

Oh, so after all that, you're afraid of Amon too.

Lu Ze suddenly realized.
