Last Totem Novel - Chapter 382
Chapter 382 Glory
When the crowd returned to their original location, they were immediately stunned when they saw the piles of army ant corpses piling up in the surroundings. After a long time, they shifted their gazes with great difficulty and looked at each other. They all took in a deep breath of cold air. This group of insufferably arrogant cemetery nightmares had been cleaned up just like that. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have been able to believe it. Moreover, all of this came from a single person.
At this moment, they all had the same premonition that a dazzling star was slowly rising. Perhaps not long after, the name “Ant King” would engulf the entire southern cemetery and even the entire world like a storm. This was an ability that only Demon Gods possessed. Assuming that these marching ants were ordinary humans, then massacring the city was nothing more than a simple task for him.
Thinking of this, everyone trembled, and their gazes at Tie Zha were filled with indescribable fear, reverence, worry, and confusion …
A few days later, the team arrived near the underground shelter. However, since the map only provided an approximate range, after entering this area, the team stationed themselves and divided the hunters into groups of three, searching the surroundings in a carpet-like manner.
That morning, the Black Pig King personally cooked a breakfast for Tie Zha. Looking at the black paste-like food, Tie Zha frowned and smelled it again. It felt even worse than the food made by the old cow.
“Don’t worry, this food is delicious. You still want to eat it after eating it.” The Black Pig King swore. Tie Zha could only pick up the spoon and barely take a bite. However, as soon as he entered, his spirits lifted. The delicious and sweet taste lingered around the tip of his tongue, making it indescribably delicious.
“What is this?” After taking a few bites, Tie Zha raised his head and asked.
“You’ve seen it.” The Black Pig King rubbed his hands and said.
For some reason, Tie Zha suddenly had a bad premonition. In the end, the Black Pig King’s next sentence made him spit out everything he had just eaten.
“Corpse-eating fungi …” The Black Pig King proudly said, “I’ve worked hard to collect them all along the way. It took me a lot of time …”
After vomiting, Tie Zha looked at the bowl in his hand and then at the Black Pig King. He was considering whether to fasten the bowl on his head. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past his right side, grabbed the food basin in his hand, and began to eat on his own.
“What are you doing! This is for the boss. I can’t bear to eat it myself.” The Black Pig King’s eyes widened as he shouted at Lilith.
‘”Oh …” Lilith wolfed down her food as she retreated.
“Bring it over!” The Black Pig King roared and rushed forward with large strides. Just as she was about to reach her body, Lilith suddenly revealed a crafty smile. Then, her figure flickered and she disappeared into thin air.
“Little bitch! Come out!” The Black Pig King was so angry that his face turned red as he stomped the stones on the ground. He never imagined that she would actually use her invisibility ability in order to steal food.
A moment later, accompanied by a slight fluctuation in the air, a petite figure gradually appeared beside Tie Zha, from nothingness to translucence, then to materialization. As she put down the empty bowl, Lilith stuck out her tongue at the Black Pig King and hugged Tie Zha’s arm tightly before he rushed over, like a kitten desperately rubbing against its owner.
“Come here!” The Black Pig King spat out hot air as he pointed at Lilith and threatened in a deep voice.
‘”I don’t want it” Lilith made a grimace at the Black Pig King.
“Come here, don’t bother boss. Let’s talk about it.” ‘”I don’t want it ~” “You’ve eaten all my things. You should at least give me some money.” “I don’t want ~ I don’t want ~”
While the two of them were quarreling, a hunter ran back and shouted at Hagrid not far away, “Found it, we found it!”
After discovering the entrance to the underground shelter, everyone quickly packed their belongings and moved the camp nearby.
This was at the foot of a low mountain, surrounded by the ruins of an ancient city. The entrance to the sanctuary was on one side of the low hill, buried by collapsed buildings, but now it has been dug open.
Upon closer inspection, the round metal door was tightly closed, with a neat line of printed signs engraved on it, “Underground Shelter 896.”
Hagrid went forward to investigate for a while, found the switch, and pulled hard. The metal door immediately let out a “creak” sound of friction. First, it opened up and down, then left and right, and finally, the four metal plates rotated and opened. After retracting three metal plates in a row, a far-reaching tunnel was revealed.
Judging from the situation at the entrance, this place was quite well preserved. There were some fresh footprints on the ground that should have been left behind by the previous batch of people. Standing at the entrance of the tunnel, one could hear the sound of “Wuwuwu” wind coming from inside. It seemed that the ventilation system was also intact. After observing for a while, the two of them returned to the camp and discussed their next plan.
“Tang De and I will go in and take a look. You guys wait for us outside.” Hagrid said.
“No, if you want to go, then go together. If you want to go, then go together.” Hagrid’s plan was simple and brutal, so naturally it was rejected by Tie Zha.
“You’re carrying a lightning hammer” “Don’t talk about it all the time.” Hagrid had barely spoken when he was interrupted by iron residue.
‘”No” Hagrid looked at Tie Zha and said sincerely, “Tie Zha Northess, the guardian of the Holy Wolf, you should know better than anyone what lightning hammer means to the glorious faith. We can’t let the Holy Logistics fall into the world anymore. This is our responsibility and our mission.”
Hearing Hagrid’s words, Tie Zha fell silent.
“Tang De and I are just going in to take a look. If there is any danger, we will definitely retreat immediately.” Hagrid said.
In the end, Hagrid persuaded Tie Zha to pack up his equipment and bring Tang De into the underground shelter.
But as soon as he left, there was no news …
Three days later, the irritated Tie Zha arrived at the entrance and looked at the pitch-black tunnel. He fell into deep thought for a long time. As far as he knew, the size of the underground shelter wouldn’t normally exceed three thousand meters in diameter, which meant that something was likely to happen to Hagrid.
Not long after, he returned to the camp and was about to discuss with the Black Pig King when he discovered that the others were packing their bags and preparing to leave.
“What’s going on?” Tie Zha grabbed someone and asked.
“Hagrid told us before he left that if he couldn’t come back on the third day, he would let us return to Blackwater Lake.” Said the man.
“What!” Tie Zha was suddenly shocked and asked loudly, “Why didn’t I know?”
“He … he told us not to tell you.” The man replied.
At this moment, Lilith walked over and handed Tie Zha a single-edged sword, a letter, and a badge.
“Uncle Hagrid said that if he doesn’t come back, I will … give these things to you.” Lilith said with a hint of cowardice.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Tie Zha suppressed his anger and asked sternly.
‘”I… I…” Lilith’s eyes flickered, but she didn’t know how to answer.
“If there’s another time, you’re dead!” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Facing this furious wolf, Lilith shrank back in panic, as if she was about to cry.
Opening the dusty stationery, lines of crooked handwriting appeared in front of him …
“Dear brother, please allow me to address you as an incompetent brother.”
“If I can’t come back in three days, please bring along our Fangs of Light and Clan emblem and continue your journey.”
“Please forgive me and the raven for being selfish …”
“Twenty years ago, we did not fulfill our responsibilities as brothers. Twenty years later, we are still unable to accompany you.”
“Because Raven and I are both people with limited talent, there are not many paths we can take.”
“If one day you, or any other Northess, want to form your own legion, you will be able to stand proudly at the highest point of Sandstorm Castle and recruit heroes from the desert in the name of Raven Northess, and you will be able proudly to stand in the bar of Blackwater Lake and recruit followers from the cemetery in the name of me, Hagrid Northess.”
“We have not tarnished Northas’ reputation. We have never forgotten the teachings of our ancestors. This is the only thing we can leave for you.”
“May the sacred flame be glorious!”
“May the Vast Expanse Sword forever bloom with glory!”
“–Hagrid Northess, who loves you dearly.”
After reading the letter, Tie Zha raised his head and looked up at the horizon. He remained silent for a long time. It wasn’t until everyone had packed up their things and was ready to leave that he gradually regained his senses.
Seeing the hunters turn around and leave, Tie Zha slowly pulled out his fangs, held his sword in both hands, and roared, “Those who leave without permission, die!” Hagrid was using his own blood to pour Northas’ glory. He could not do nothing to pave the way for victory for their future. He could not lose this brother anymore …
Hearing his voice, everyone stopped and turned to look.
“I repeat, those who leave without permission will die.” Tie Zha expressionlessly repeated.
The hunters immediately looked at each other. No one spoke, and no one left. At this moment, the Black Pig King quietly appeared behind them, blocking their path.
After a moment of silence, a hunter walked out in front of Tie Zha and said in a low voice, “I am Alva, the captain of the second garrison of Blackwater Lake. Is there a problem?”
“I ask you to come down with me to save him.” Said Tie Zha.
“I’m sorry, you don’t have the authority to command us.” Alva said with a cold face.
“Then we can only die.” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Faced with a blatant threat, Alvar asked calmly, “Do you think we can’t go down because we’re afraid of death?”
Tie Zha did not answer, but stared into his eyes.
“I know you’re very powerful. Perhaps we’re not your opponents, but if you want to force us, then go ahead and give it a try.” With that, Alva turned around and returned to his team, leading the hunters forward.
When the Black Pig King saw this, he immediately frowned. He clenched his fists with both hands, and with the addition of the insect shell, he saw a pair of shiny black coleoptiles stretching out from behind him.
Alvar didn’t seem to see it. He just stared blandly in front of him and walked over with the people behind him.
In the incomparably oppressive atmosphere, everyone subconsciously tensed their muscles. Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, a calm voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
“I am Tie Zha Northess. I am calling you all in the name of Thunderhammer!”
In an instant, the entire world seemed to have quieted down.
At this moment, time stopped and the scene froze …
The chilly wind swept across his face with the ice residue, causing the corners of his clothes to make a hunting sound, but no one made the slightest sound. At this moment, the people standing in the ice and snow were like a landscape painting that had not changed for a thousand years.
Eternal Ancient has not changed to this day.
In the faint dawn, the ancient warhammer was like a serene elder, calmly staring at the boundless earth. The ancient aura of vicissitudes pounced on his face, like a vast ocean and endless stars.
Qiang!
In the midst of the silence, a clear clanging sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
“I swear that I will sacrifice my blood and my sword and my glory. I will follow you forever until you die!” Alva held the sword in both hands and knelt down on one knee. He stared at the warhammer in the morning light and swore an oath loudly.
“May the sacred flame be glorious!”
Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!
“May the sacred flame be glorious!”
“May the sacred flame be glorious!”
In an instant, a loud and clear shout echoed in the sky above the ruins, traveling far away …
