Chapter 1404 The High Priest's Mission
Baiquhai is boundless, the water is blue, and there are many tributaries.

The end of the vast river in Haixi is the Baiqu Sea. From Aguda, I learned that the eastern part of the Baiqu Sea is adjacent to the Death Swamp and is connected to the underground water system. The white-bone whale is a frequent visitor to the Baiqu Sea and only occasionally visits Haixi.

Due to the existence of the White Bone Whale, foreigners dare not attack the Haiyue Tribe easily.

The two of them flew all the way across the vast sea, traveling day and night. After more than two months, they finally arrived in Hainan.

The so-called Hainan is a large island in the south of Baiquhai. It is still quite far away from the end of Baiquhai. This island covers an area so vast that even from a high altitude, it is impossible to see its full picture. Only with the naked eye Its size is difficult to observe.

As the two of them got closer and closer to the land, the scenery came into view. Looking around, everything they could see was desolate. It seemed like a forbidden area without life, and it was eerily quiet.

Wherever the two of them passed, not only were there no snakes, insects, ants, or beasts, but there was no vegetation at all. There were not even stones on the ground, only fluffy black soil.

There is a looming black mist floating in the sky, which seems to be absent. The black mist gathers into a ball, like a bunch of dark clouds.

Ever since Aguda landed on the island, he looked lonely, with endless sadness in his eyes. He seemed to be talking to himself.

"This was originally a beautiful place, but now it has become a barren land. I hope the anger of the supreme god of death can be extinguished soon."

"What are those?" Tangning asked, pointing to the black mist that had gathered in the sky like a dark cloud.

A look of fear appeared on Aguda's face: "Don't touch the black fog. It is the remnant of the death storm that has not dissipated, indicating that a big death storm has just occurred here."

"Death Storm? Is it the Dark Realm?"

"It's another kind of disaster. The death storm is when the black mist forms a huge hurricane. All life in its path will be sucked out of its life essence. The biggest death storm I have ever seen covers the sky and the sun and sweeps thousands of miles away, leaving no trace behind. The next living thing, that scene was like the end of the world.”

"No wonder there is no grass growing here and there is no living thing. It turns out that a big disaster has just happened. Aguda, if there is a death storm, can you resist it?"

"It depends on the scale of the death storm. It is best to avoid it. If you can avoid it, I will bring the golden body of the undead inherited from my ancestors on this trip. It can save my life at critical moments."

The two of them chatted while escaping. After walking for about ten days, they saw a rolling green mountain range appearing in the field of vision in the distance.

In this dead place, this mountain range is too conspicuous, with towering giant trees, lush flowers and grass, lush green trees, and flocks of birds and beasts.

It is in sharp contrast to the surrounding barren land, as if it were two different worlds.

Tang Ning was originally a little skeptical about A Guda's words. Now that she saw Yuan Huan Mountain with her own eyes, she was really shocked. The main reason was that the contrast was so great. If she didn't see it with her own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that in this disaster-prone place, there were so many strange phenomena. Hainan will be such a vibrant place.

Aguda looked very excited. The trip went very smoothly without encountering any dangers or obstacles. He thought this was due to Tang Ning, the messenger of the gods.

It was precisely because of his companions that the supreme god of death spared no effort and did not bring any disaster to stop him.

"It's safe when we get here. Lord Messenger, you see, ahead is our tribe's refuge." The two entered the mountains. Aguda pointed to one of the valleys and said. There were many palaces and pavilions there. Although the high-rise buildings were dilapidated, But the traces of someone's long-term survival can clearly be seen.

"Where is your high priest buried?" Tangning was not interested in the Haiyue Clan's former residence at all. He just wanted to see the prophecies left by the high priest as soon as possible.

"Just northwest of the valley."

"Take me there quickly."

The two came to a towering mountain again. The mountain wall was black and very smooth. There was no grass growing around it, and it seemed incompatible with the bustling scenery nearby.

"Lord Messenger, this is the entrance to the tomb of the high priest. The high priest gave instructions before his death that no tribesmen are allowed to enter to see the prophecies he left behind." Aguda said, pointing to the black mountain in front of him.

"Have you never entered?"

"No."

"Then just wait for me here!" Tangning walked straight to the black mountain, pushed open the stone door, and stepped into the inner room.

The light inside was dark, and when I looked around, I saw that it was empty and there was nothing else. After walking a few dozen feet, I came to a black circular stone wall.

The consciousness stopped abruptly and could not penetrate the stone wall.

The black stone wall stood at the end like a giant door. As soon as the spiritual consciousness touched here, it immediately bounced back. Obviously, the stone wall was made of some kind of forbidden spiritual consciousness material.

There was a raised stone in the upper left corner, which turned him to the right. The circular stone wall suddenly opened, and his eyes suddenly opened up and became spacious. A small circular castle came into view in front of him.This castle is the size of an ordinary room. It is more like a round tomb than a castle. There is a stone statue on the left and right sides of it. The two stone statues are lifelike and look exactly the same. One of them is about three feet tall. It has a green face and fangs, and looks like an evil ghost.

The other stone elephant is only eight feet tall, has wings on its back, a big bloody mouth, protruding eyes, and a ferocious face.

The moment Tangning stepped into the circular stone wall, the two stone elephants suddenly turned around to face him, their eyes shining brightly. At this moment, the two stone elephants seemed to come alive.

Seeing such a change, Tang Ning's heart trembled. When the two stone elephants glanced at him, a strong sense of danger enveloped him. His instinct told him that these two stone statues were very strong.

He has experienced this kind of thing many times. Many great monks will set up restrictions or guards when they are sitting down to prevent others from disturbing them.

But he didn't expect that the high priest who could predict the future would also arrange guards.

A battle seemed about to break out, and just when he was about to take action, the two stone statues suddenly knelt down on one knee facing him, and stretched out a hand towards the round tomb, making a gesture of invitation.

Tangning was stunned. She didn't expect it to be like this. The two stone elephants seemed to be two life-conscious guards who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Two stone elephants lined up on both sides of the round tomb door, kneeling on one knee with their heads lowered and their eyes flashing red, as if they were inviting distinguished guests.

Seeing this scene, Tang Ning was even more curious about the high priest. He strode forward and pushed open the stone door of the dome.

What comes into view is a black square stone table. A white skeleton with the body of an ape and the face of a horse is sitting in front of the stone table. His two palms are placed on a long black stone box on the stone table, and his head is facing the door of the round tomb. , as if looking at him.

Tang Ning closed the stone door. Not only was the stone door very heavy, but it was also very blocked, perhaps because it had not been opened for too long. With a strong push from his hand, the stone door closed with a loud bang, causing the dome to sway slightly.

It was this slight vibration that caused the already fragile white bones of the ape body and horse face to change. The head that was originally looking straight at the stone gate lowered, and the whole body slipped from the stone bench and fell to the ground. His hands also Leaving the long black stone box.

Just hearing a soft sound of 'picking', the long black stone box suddenly popped open automatically.

All this seems natural and perfect, but it is also very strange.

The high priest of the Haiyue tribe had been sitting in front of the stone table in the round tomb for more than a thousand years, but as soon as he entered the round tomb, his bones fell down and fell to pieces on the ground.

It seemed to be telling him in this way that he had completed his mission and could sleep forever.

Rather than saying that the stone door shook and caused the bones to fall to the ground and scatter, Tangning preferred to believe that the high priest had waited for the person he wanted to wait for, so the soul could rest in peace.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, a burst of complicated emotions suddenly surged in his heart.

This high priest, who could predict the future since he was a child and was responsible for the life and death of the Haiyue Clan, was still concerned about the fate of the Haiyue Clan until his death, and was waiting hard for the divine messenger who could save the fate of the Haiyue Clan.

It's a pity that he is not a messenger of the gods, but a fake who wants to occupy the magpie's nest.

There is really nothing I can do about the fate of the Haiyue Clan.

The long black stone box on the stone table had automatically popped open, and a black paper roll was folded inside. Tangning took out the paper roll and unfolded it. It was exactly the size of a round table, with vivid pictures on it.

The first picture shows a group of people gathered on a mountain peak. The crowd is crowded and has no specific shape. Several rays of light converge in the sky, and a black hole is visible above it.

The second picture is a large red swamp, in which a white-skeletal whale leaps out of the swamp, opening its bloody mouth and pounces on several figures in the air.

The third picture shows a man coming to a round tomb and kneeling on one knee next to two stone statues.

Seeing this, Tangning felt chills running down her spine and goosebumps all over her body. These three pictures were exactly the same as his experience.

The first picture refers to the scene of the expeditionary force arriving at the Artifact Realm from the Tianyuan Realm through the space channel. The peak is obviously the Two Realms Mountain.

The second picture is of a white-bone whale devouring him in the Death Swamp.

The third picture is the scene he just experienced.

Although the High Priest of the Haiyue Clan had been dead for more than a thousand years, he was talking to him using the prophecy paintings he left behind, as if whispering in his ear.

There is nothing wrong, there is no need to doubt, you are the messenger of God.
