Chapter 1664
Sadness filled the air and gradually filled the entire tribe.
Zi Chen, who was walking forward, felt the sadness. His expression changed slightly and he stopped.
The sadness came from the center of the gravekeeper tribe. That was where the Cosmos Bell was located. The time fluctuation had also come from there.
Zi Chen couldn't tell if it was sadness or some other emotion, but he had already guessed what had happened.
"What's going on?"
Zi Chen suddenly stopped. Man Shi and the others immediately caught up.
A bitter smile appeared on Zi Chen's face, and his expression seemed somewhat helpless.
The oppressive time fluctuation dissipated. There was only sadness in the tribe.
Zi Chen came to the center of the tribe. The Cosmos Bell was still hanging high in the sky. The runes on its surface were shining with golden light.
All the warriors of the tribe were gathered under the Cosmos Bell. They were all kneeling on one knee.
They weren't kneeling to the Cosmos Bell. Instead, they were kneeling to the eight elders who were sitting cross-legged in the center. The eight elders who had lost their vitality.
Viper was kneeling on one knee like the other warriors. The gravekeeper stood not far away. He looked at the eight corpses silently with an expressionless face.
"What's going on? Why did the elders suddenly die?"
A few people stood in the distance and looked at the eight elders who had lost their vitality. They were puzzled.
At this moment, the gravekeeper turned around and looked at the warriors. He said, "The elders have made great contributions to the tribe. They should be buried in the ancestral land. From today onwards, all the warriors of the tribe will begin to refine the dragon crystals."
The warriors were very sad when the elders died. However, when they heard the gravekeeper's words, there was still a small commotion.
They were the gravekeeper tribe. What they guarded was the dragon soul, which was also the dragon god.
The dragon god was noble and could not be blasphemed. Even if the dragon soul had leaked out at this moment, giving birth to the western dragon, a mutant dragon species that brought great harm to them, and even if they knew that the dragon had many resources, the people of the tribe had never thought of using them.
The only thing they used was to forge dragon weapons. However, before that, they still needed a long time of sincere prayer.
And today, the Clan Chief actually said such a thing.
The gravekeeper obviously didn't want to continue explaining. He just waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Bury the elders properly."
The group of warriors all retreated, bringing away the corpses of the eight elders. Their discussion could still be heard from afar.
Seeing the warriors leave, a trace of grief appeared on the tomb keeper's face.
These eight elders were in the prime of their lives. However, they had forcefully extracted their vitality time and time again, causing their cultivation levels to drop time and time again. This time, for the sake of the tribe, they had exhausted all their vitality.
"I didn't expect it to be like this." Zi Chen walked over with a bitter look on his face.
The tomb keeper shook his head: "This has nothing to do with you, it is the decision of the eight elders."
In fact, the eight elders could have lived, but only two of them could accept the tomb keeper's explanation of the dragons. The other six still stubbornly insisted that they were not allowed to blaspheme the Dragon God.
Tradition was tradition, and rules were rules. Not everyone could accept it, even if the tomb keeper explained it clearly.
Now that the tribe was facing a crisis, they urgently needed experts.
Although the elders were stubborn, they were still thinking for the tribe.
Thus, the eight elders exhausted their lives to change the flow of time in the Heaven and Earth Bell.
"Now the flow of time is one to eighty. Eighty years here is only one year outside." The tomb keeper said.
When the others heard this, they looked at the Heaven and Earth Bell flashing with golden light in the sky in surprise.
All eight elders had died. Before a new ninth-tier expert appeared in the tribe, there would be no more elders.
Now, the entire tribe was completely under the tomb keeper's control.
Thus, the tomb keeper ordered everyone in the tribe to refine the dragon crystals.
Over the years, the tribe had accumulated a large amount of dragon crystals.
Zi Chen and the others were lucky enough to get some and were refining them these days.
In addition, the tomb keeper also used other methods to summon ascetics back. Each ascetic had the strength of a ninth-tier expert. According to the tomb keeper, there could be about five ascetics.
Perhaps because of the invaders, the effect of their refining was not as obvious as that of the tribe warriors.
In just one day, ten people in the tribe became warriors.
In the tomb keeper tribe, only seventh-tier experts could be called warriors.
And on the second day, a seventh-tier warrior broke through the bottleneck to eighth-tier.
After that, there was good news almost every day.
"As expected." The tomb keeper who heard the news did not show too much surprise.
The tomb keeper had long guessed that the tomb keeper tribe was unique and had an inexplicable connection with the dragon tribe.
And at this moment, these giant dragons, to the tomb keeper, were a gift from the Dragon God to increase the strength of the guardians.
Unfortunately, due to the ancient rules, no one in the tribe tried to refine the dragon crystals.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and the tribe's stock was not much. The tomb keeper discussed with Zi Chen and decided to go out to hunt dragons.
"This time, the tribe will also send some people to let them familiarize themselves with the battlefield in advance."
Of course, it was impossible to rely on Zi Chen's twelve people. Sooner or later, the tribe would send people. Zi Chen had no objection to the tomb keeper's proposal.
So, the tribe sent out twenty experts this time.
Undoubtedly, these were the strongest twenty people in the tribe, almost all of them could fight against a giant dragon.
Hearing that they were going to go out to hunt dragons, the group of warriors was very excited.
Of course, they were not going to a place with a group of giant dragons, but to some remote areas to hunt some wandering giant dragons.
Under the tomb keeper's lead, the group of people walked out of the tribe's restriction.
In the sky, the dragon roared continuously, and the dragon's power appeared in all directions.
Seeing this scene, the warriors' faces were a little pale.
Even with the protection of the light shield, they could still feel the suffocating dragon's power.
After walking for two hundred miles, the tomb keeper removed the light shield.
"There are giant dragons here." Man Shi scratched his head and looked at the forest.
"There are some wandering ones. As long as there is a movement, it will attract the giant dragons."
Sure enough, in less than a moment, a giant dragon appeared in the sky. It was nearly twenty meters long, diving down at a low altitude. The dragon's power spread out, and some beasts fled in panic. This was a giant dragon hunting.
Seeing the giant dragon, the warriors wanted to show off in front of these invaders, but before they could do anything, they heard a big man shout.
"I will deal with it."
Of course, it was Man Shi who spoke. He had always wanted to hunt dragons.
Man Shi's figure flashed and rushed over.
The warriors looked at Zi Chen's group in surprise. In this situation, shouldn't they work together?
But these people had no intention to help at all. Could it be that they expected this big man to kill the dragon alone?
"Buzz."
Just as the warriors were confused, the void suddenly trembled. They saw that the originally burly man had transformed into a giant. The surface of the giant's body was flowing with a pitch-black energy light. It looked as if it was forged from steel.
A violent aura, with the giant as the center, shook in all directions.
The warriors were a little surprised, and they stared at the giant that Man Shi turned into.
"Hey, over here."
Man Shi said to the giant dragon in front of him, his voice was like thunder.
The giant dragon saw the change in Man Shi, and when it was confused, Man Shi provoked it. It was very dissatisfied, and it let out a dragon roar and rushed towards Man Shi.
The wind whistled, and the forest fell.
Man Shi smiled coldly and rushed towards the giant dragon.
Force met force.
The warriors were a little stunned.
"Boom."
The two collided, causing the forest to shake. The whole sky was trembling, and a visible airwave spread in all directions, and a large number of trees fell.
The giant dragon roared, and a powerful force surged. The scales on its body were shining, and it was very dazzling.
Man Shi roared, and the aura around him became more violent. He was like a steel war god. The moment he stabilized his body, he suddenly accelerated, and directly grabbed the dragon's claw, and swung it up.
The warriors who wanted to show off were stunned when they saw this scene. It was bad enough that they didn't suffer a loss in a direct confrontation, but now they were swinging the giant dragon.
One should know that that was a giant dragon, and it had extraordinary means.
"Boom."
The earth trembled, and the ancient trees burst. The giant dragon's body fell heavily on the ground.
The dragon's roar turned into anger. The giant dragon shook its head, and it seemed to feel a little dizzy.
In the eyes of the warriors, Man Shi, who was swinging the giant dragon, was like a chicken, smashing it to the east and to the west.
The angry dragon's roar gradually turned into a painful dragon's roar, and finally turned into panic.
On the ground, a large number of ancient trees were shattered, and deep pits appeared one after another.
The warriors were stunned. Was this really a human?
Human strength surpassed dragon power. His strength was really terrifying.
Everyone knew Man Shi's combat strength. Except for the warriors, Zi Chen and the others didn't show too much expression. They didn't even look over.
Their attention was on the horizon. The continuous dragon's roar had attracted other giant dragons. At the end of their sight, a large number of black shadows appeared.
"There are giant dragons."
The dragon's aura suddenly became stronger, and the warriors sensed it. Then, one of them looked back and happened to see the large number of black shadows in the sky. His expression changed, and he cried out.
The others looked back, and they were also shocked because there were too many giant dragons. There were no less than 05 of them.
And all of them were rushing over. It was obviously a group battle, and they couldn't resist at all.
Looking at the approaching giant dragons, Zi Chen smiled coldly, ignoring the cries behind him, "Prepare for battle."
His body flashed, and he was the first to rush forward.
Then, Shun Tiandao and Fortune Teller followed. Then, streams of light flashed, and everyone took the initiative to go forward.
"What are they doing?" A warrior couldn't help but ask.
"They should be going to slay the dragon," someone replied.
"Nonsense, how can they take the initiative to attack? Don't they know that in this situation, the giant dragon's combat strength is increased?"
"They are invaders. They just came here, so they shouldn't know."
"It's over. They are too reckless. Patriarch, why don't you persuade them?"
Mu Mu stared ahead and said in a deep voice, "Next, you just have to watch. This time, I mainly brought you here to broaden your horizons."
"Broaden our horizons?" The warriors couldn't help but be stunned.
