Hu Mazi stared at the words on the beast skin, his eyes red: “So it turns out that my Hu clan is not an ordinary family. Our ancestors had such great achievements. But why did we end up being wiped out?”
David continues reading, and the back of the animal’s skin reveals a terrible secret.
The Burial Abyss Seal was not eternal; the seal weakens every thousand years. The Hu clan’s mission was to enter the Burial Abyss when the seal was weakening and strengthen the rune array.
But 2,800 years ago, the seal suddenly broke, and the demons at the bottom of the abyss almost escaped.
The Hu Clan managed to crush it with all its strength, but in doing so, they were greatly weakened and attacked by an unknown force.
“It seems that your Hu clan’s extermination may be related to the Burial Abyss seal.”
David put down the animal skin. “That unknown force is likely trying to use the devil to break the seal, or wants the talisman inheritance left by your ancestors.”
Hu Mazi clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms: “Whoever it is, I will find out!”
He carefully kept the clan head’s identification tag and the beast skin, as if he held the hopes of the entire clan in his hands.
David then turned his gaze to the inside of the cave, where there was a narrow stone door with the same runes as the bronze box.
“This seems to be the real entrance. Come on in.”
With the clan leader’s token, the rune array on the stone gate self-destructed, and the two successfully entered the next area.
This was a long passage, with runes carved all over the stone walls on both sides. Different from the ones we have seen before, these runes emit a faint golden light, which is clearly left by human rune masters.
“These runes can suppress demonic energy; it seems these runes were laid down by your ancestors.”
David reached out and touched the runes, feeling a gentle flow of power enter his body. “Following these runes should allow me to avoid most dangers.”
At the end of the passage was a large stone room, in the center of which stood a ten feet tall stone slab, which was filled with densely arranged runes and shimmered with dazzling light.
Several skeletons were scattered around the stone slab. Judging from their attire, they were most likely members of the Hu clan.
“This is my ancestor!”
Seeing the remaining talismans on the bones, Hu Mazi’s eyes filled with tears again. “They must have come to strengthen the seal, but they can’t return”
David walked over to the stone slab and carefully studied the runes on it, growing more and more concerned as he looked.
This rune array was extremely ingenious, containing the profound principles of the universe, far beyond his understanding of the Dao of runes.
He tried to probe the runes with his divine sense and was shocked to feel a huge flow of information flooding into his mind, all of which were insights and techniques regarding the Dao of Runes.
