Azik waved his hand again, as if dismissing a servant, and the black hound spirit beast with its eyes tightly closed moved away from the doorway.
Hobert saw the scene inside the door. The stone chamber was much larger than he had imagined, with a giant bird lying inside.
His spirituality immediately made him realize that this giant bird was unusual. Although it had its eyes tightly closed and no signs of life, it still impacted Hobert's spirit.
However, this impact was not enough to collapse Hobert's spiritual body and astral body.
Its appearance was somewhat in line with Hobert's feeling of a phoenix, but instead of gorgeous and colorful feathers, it was covered in seemingly pale flame-like feathers.
Then Hobert noticed that the gorgeous illusory colors at the door had turned gray and white after entering the stone chamber. Even the light from the flashlight seemed to be covered with a thin layer of black gauze, turning gray and white.
Sadness, Hobert felt the sadness brought by death.
Finally, Hobert's heart was shocked. Yes, shocked! How could there be such a wonderful creature in the world?
Azik strode forward and placed his hand on the giant bird's corpse. He closed his eyes and felt for more than ten seconds, then pinched his forehead in pain and said, "I, I remember a lot of things."
Azik opened his eyes: "This is the corpse of the ancient death god! Well, more precisely, it is the indestructible part of Her corpse. This is not a complete mythical creature form, so we will not die immediately after seeing it, but will only be impacted."
Hobert's sense of shock still existed: "Why is Her corpse here?"
"I remembered one thing, during the Four Emperors War..." Azik smiled: "Heh, you can think that I saw relevant literature."
No, I know that was what you experienced, Hobert said in his heart.
Azik continued: "In the early stage of the Four Emperors War, the Night Emperor and the Underworld Emperor each gained advantages, so the Night Emperor turned his attention to the Underworld Emperor."
"For this reason, he found the corpse of Gregrace, who had inextricable connections with the underworld, and wanted to use it to design a trap for the Underworld Emperor."
"Unfortunately, before the Underworld Emperor stepped into the trap, the Night Emperor had fallen."
"The Underworld Emperor once secretly sent people to look for it, but they never found Gregrace's corpse. I didn't expect that the Trunsoest family hid the corpse here."
Hobert finally understood why his spirituality prevented him from using the "Teleportation Statue" when exploring the ruins before, because the ancient death god not only accommodated the uniqueness of the "Death" pathway, but also accommodated some of the Beyonder characteristics of the "Door" pathway.
Therefore, the door of this stone chamber was not overlapping with a certain stone chamber as Dophis guessed, but could randomly appear anywhere in the underground structure.
It is estimated that the entire stone chamber was a space created by the ancient death god using the Beyonder power of the "Door" pathway.
As for why the stone chamber had been circling in this underground structure, Hobert didn't understand. He guessed that this underground structure should be some kind of seal designed for the stone chamber.
In the previous exploration, if Hobert had used the "Teleportation Statue", it was very likely that he would always be "teleported" into the stone chamber, or to the entrance of the stone chamber.
Hobert asked: "Can the ancient death god be resurrected by this corpse?"
Azik shook his head: "No, but this is a symbol of the ancient death god's immortality. As long as the corpse exists, She still has the possibility of resurrection. Even if a new death god appears, She still has the possibility of resurrection."
"Then can't this corpse be destroyed?"
"No, even gods can't destroy it." Azik said: "Just like that black hound spirit beast, it is already dead, how can you kill it again?"
Hobert was silent, and for the first time he felt the great shock brought by this mysterious world.
Before, he always felt that he knew everything about this mysterious world, but it was not until today that he realized that he only knew it, but did not have this kind of cognition and knowledge.
Only by seeing the most mysterious and high-end parts of this world can one have one's own cognition.
The two stood in front of Gregrace's corpse for a long time before they went to check the other structures of the stone chamber.
There were three corpses in the stone chamber, all in a skeletal state. The clothes of one of the corpses had rotted, but the skeleton was still quite well preserved.
This should be related to the environment here, or being next to the corpse of the ancient death god.
Of the three corpses, only one corpse had Beyonder characteristics emitting a cold brilliance.
In addition, not far from the corpse, there were two black iron-like cylinders, one of which also had two notebooks or books.
Hobert immediately realized that something was wrong: "The corpse of the ancient death god only attracted one Beyonder of the 'Death' pathway? It also attracted two ordinary people."
Azik shook his head: "No, for more than a thousand years, it should have attracted many Beyonders of the 'Death' pathway, but some can restrain their curiosity and desire, while others cannot."
"Those who fantasized about studying the corpse of the ancient death god died here, while those who could restrain themselves picked up their Beyonder characteristics."
"And the corpse with Beyonder characteristics has relatively undamaged clothes. He should have died here in the recent decades or even ten years, and his Beyonder characteristics have not been picked up."
Hobert nodded and looked at the two black iron-like cylinders again. He remembered that when he entered this room before, he was tripped by something hard, probably one of these two cylinders.
Azik glanced at it and said, "You can take these two cylinders back to make two weapons. Well, this is part of the stone pillar that the ancient death god often stepped on."
"At first, it was just a stone, but later, under the influence of divinity, it already had the characteristics of steel. I believe that the weapons made with them can have the ability to harm the enemy's soul."
Good stuff, good stuff! Hobert smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity."
Azik picked up the notebook on the cylinder. He opened it and glanced at it, then looked at Hobert and asked, "Is your father called Rex?"
Hobert was stunned: "How do you know?"
Azik smiled and handed the notebook in his hand to Hobert: "This is the notebook your father left for you."
Hobert suddenly thought that he had learned from Mr. Digos that Rex had placed a notebook in a place that only his descendants could get.
He never dreamed that it would be here!
Hobert took the notebook and, by the light, saw a few lines of dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing sentences written on the title page of the notebook: "The stick from the Zaratul family said that my descendants will come here and loot this place, so I left the notebook here."
Below this sentence is another handwriting: "I am the stick from the Zaratul family, little friend, I have not touched anything here, I will leave it all to you as a meeting gift from my uncle."
Hobert thought: Then I, grandpa, will accept it.
Then he thought that Rex actually had contact with members of the Zaratul family, and it seemed that they had a good relationship. These people are so dangerous...
No, Hobert found that he thought the people of the Zaratul family were dangerous, which was a bit preconceived.
Klein would think they are dangerous and hostile to them.
But for the Beyonders of the "Black Emperor" pathway, there can be a good relationship.
