Chapter 866 Digging Holes and Filling Mounds

chapter 866 digging holes and filling mounds

translator: borntobe

long chen was unable to figure out this beautiful killing goddess. but in the end, he and yue xiaoqian still decided to follow her.

there was a hill with a diameter of around thirty meters. it looked like a fake mountain, as there were little mounds on it. in front of those mounds were coffins.

long chen couldn’t help but find this curious. coffins should have been buried underground. why would they be left outside? that made no sense.

“how strange. long chen, what do you say? what is going on here?” leng yueyan suddenly turned back.

long chen was just about to answer with how the hell was he supposed to know, when he suddenly smiled. “i know. but why do i have to tell you?”

leng yueyan was startled. she hadn’t expected him to know such an ancient secret. at first, she wanted to say something, but seeing that he appeared hostile, she chose to stay silent for a moment.

“if you tell me, i will forever protect one of your secrets,” she said suddenly, glancing at yue xiaoqian.

“really?”

“i, leng yueyan, disdain lying,” she said indifferently. that voice was full of her arrogance.

“alright, that’s what you said. you better keep your word...” hearing long chen’s words, although the others didn’t dare to get closer, they perked up their ears. after investigating for this long, they still hadn’t managed to solve this riddle.

“in truth, burying coffins usually requires three people to be most efficient. one person digs the hole, one person buries the coffin, and one person fills the mound. according to my vast experience, just from one small clue, the truth reveals itself to me. i would be so bold as to conclude through my careful analysis that...” said long chen.

“conclude what?” leng yueyan didn’t say anything, so it was yue xiaoqian that urged him on.

“that on that day, the person in charge of burying the coffin didn’t come to work. so one person dug the hole, one person filled the mound, but then the coffin was just left outside,” said long chen with absolute certainty.

everyone’s expressions became odd. they all glared at long chen. what kind of dogshit logic was this? having been listening so carefully, they felt like they had been duped.

“long chen, do you believe me when i say i’ll kill you right now?” leng yueyan’s expression finally became a bit angry. in all her memories, this was the first time someone dared to try to dupe her.

“hm, did you make some kind of mistake? didn’t you just say that if i told you, you’d forever protect one of my secrets? i’ve already told you my deduction, but you immediately became hostile. hmph, it seems that i recall a certain someone saying something like i, leng yueyan, disdain lying? what, you regret it so quickly?” said long chen, even imitating her tone. but his imitation was a bit exaggerated, and instead of seeming like a killing god, he seemed like an effeminate man.

his voice was extremely calm, but his meaning was very obvious. yes, he had done that intentionally. everyone had to praise his guts. he was a true man.

not everyone had the courage to tease a killing goddess. even those from the corrupt path had to admire him. but their admiration contained some mockery, as well as delight in his misfortunate. they wished leng yueyan would kill him right here and now.

“just wait.” leng yueyan glared at long chen for a moment before ignoring him, continuing toward the mountain.

long chen dithered more and more, maintaining a somewhat safe distance.

this mountain was covered in mounds, thousands of them. but each one of them was only the size of a palm.

“xiaoqian, what could be inside these coffins? do these coffins have their own spaces?” asked long chen.

before yue xiaoqian could reply, leng yueyan said, “you don’t even know about spatial formations, but you still dared to come out adventuring? the fact that you could live until today is a miracle. having a brain is a good thing. i just wish everyone had one.”

“you!” raged long chen.

“long chen, this big sister is right. this defensive barrier is a spatial formation. in truth, this is a huge mountain, and when these coffins aren’t in compressed space, they will also grow larger. they just look small now,” said yue xiaoqian.

long chen hadn’t come into contact with many spatial formations, and as a result, leng yueyan had immediately found a foothold to strike back without long chen being able to retaliate. who asked him not to have vast enough knowledge?

suddenly, leng yueyan closed her eyes and formed hand seals. a powerful pressure suddenly erupted from her. her robes and hair danced, making her look like an immortal.

but at the same time, endless blood qi filled the air. the aura made people want to prostrate themselves before her. long chen’s heart shook as this aura was very familiar. it was a sign she was about to use her spirit blood.

although she didn’t summon that illusory figure, this aura was definitely the aura of her spirit blood.

when leng yueyan reopened her eyes, runes were sparkling within them. a ray of light shot into the light barrier.

“what terrifying voidpiercing eyes. she’s actually capable of clearly seeing everything inside!” yue xiaoqian let out a startled cry.

everyone was shocked. leng yueyan was terrifying. just using her eyes, she could cause the formation to shake unsteadily. even a powerful force was erupting from the light barrier. those who had never seen her before finally realized how terrifying this legendary person was. just the slightest bit of her power could kill them.

“a pity. there’s nothing in here that i want.” after a moment, leng yueyan retracted her aura. her eyes dimmed and everything returned to normal. however, she was clearly a bit weary. that probing of hers had to have been extremely taxing.

leng yueyan glanced at long chen, and suddenly she extended her hand. an azure light shot toward yue xiaoqian.
