Chapter 878

Four days later, a group of people finally arrived at the ninth burial ground.

In the God-perishing Island ruins, there were already eight burial grounds that had been conquered. Everyone had also accumulated eight burial ground keys. There was only half a month left before the ruins closed.

Gu Ding and the others did not look too good along the way. Once the ninth key was born, it meant that the opening of Heinoas Burial Ground was not far away.

As they entered the foggy area on the outskirts of the burial ground, they did not encounter any attacks along the way.

Everyone who had been cautious along the way was also very surprised.

After cautiously and carefully passing through the foggy area, they finally saw the burial ground.

However, the scene in front of them left everyone dumbfounded.

The entire burial ground was in ruins. Not only were there blood stains, but there were also sword and saber marks everywhere. Moreover, these marks looked very new. It was easy to determine that this burial ground had not been attacked for more than a month.

"Other than the sword and saber marks, there are also many beast claw marks. These beast claw marks should have been left by this burial ground guardian … "Gojir from the Bug Tribe carefully examined the remaining marks and quickly came to a conclusion. "The other two marks came from the same person!"

"You mean, a powerhouse with a sword in one hand and a saber in the other killed the burial ground guardian alone and took the key?" Casares could not help but ask. "Why can't it be a sword cultivator and a saber cultivator working together to kill the burial ground guardian?!"

"Because the sword and saber marks here give off the same feeling, there is almost no difference. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a sword cultivator and a saber cultivator to give off the same feeling, "Melissa said slowly as she brushed her hand over a sword mark on the stone wall not far in front of her.

"But, among our major forces, there is no one who is proficient in both sword and saber, right?" Estory asked with a slight frown.

"We can't rule out the possibility that there are other outsiders in this ruin." Reid stood up at that moment and made a bold guess. "After all, before we humans obtained the ruins key, it passed through many hands."

"There is indeed no aura of undead in this burial ground. The burial ground guardian should have been killed, so the burial ground key should be in the hands of the sword and saber cultivator powerhouse." As a Protoss, Estory was extremely sensitive to the aura of undead creatures. He did not sense any aura of undead creatures in this burial ground.

"Attacking the Burial Ground is already a very difficult task. Now, a guy who killed the guardian of the Burial Ground suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stole the key. Moreover, we don't even know who this guy is or where he's hiding. And most importantly, we only have 15 days left … "Casares looked depressed.

"Why are you so anxious? My little babies have already started investigating. I believe there will be results soon. Gojir said confidently, "As long as he doesn't escape from the God-perishing Island, I will find him sooner or later!"

As Gojir spoke, he squatted down and pressed his hand on the ground. Countless tiny black bugs crawled out from the skin of his palm and flew in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the black bugs had swept through every corner of the burial ground. Gojir frowned as he sensed the results of the bugs' detection. "Indeed, it wasn't done by anyone here. Moreover, that sword and saber cultivator isn't in this burial ground anymore."

"How can you be sure that it wasn't done by anyone here?" Estory asked with a frown.

"The bugs I released can identify spiritual tattoos. Spiritual tattoos are like fingerprints of various living beings. They are unique. Through the spiritual tattoos left behind by the sword and saber marks, we can compare the spiritual tattoos. The result is that the spiritual tattoos don't match anyone here, "Gojir explained. "I forgot to mention that spiritual tattoos are produced by energy waves. As long as there is energy circulating, spiritual tattoos will be produced. This is also why we Zergs are good at finding all kinds of energy veins. When there is energy circulating in a living being's body, spiritual tattoos will also be produced. "

"How long will it take for your bugs to search the entire ruin?" Estory asked.

"This ruin is too big. It will take at least a month to completely search it. If it's just a rough search, ten to fifteen days should be enough," Gojir calculated and gave such a figure.

"Then let's start right away. We can only do a rough search. Hopefully, we can find the guy who took the keys," Casares shouted.

"Wait a minute!" Estory suddenly stopped him. "According to what you said, the burial ground keys are specially made items. They contain unique energy inside them and should have spiritual tattoos. Let these bugs try to search the burial ground for keys."

Gojir nodded. "Give me all the burial ground keys."

The rest of the people shot the burial ground keys toward Gojir. Soon, all eight of the burial ground keys were in his hands. After that, countless bugs surged out again and spread out in all directions.

Melissa, who was not far from Gu Ding, saw this scene and her expression changed slightly.

Not long after, a series of sharp insect cries rang out, and a few black insects carried out a metal cube from a pile of collapsed stones.

Gojir appeared in the spot in a flash and sucked the metal cube up.

"Hahaha … Although that swordsman killed the guardian of the burial ground here, he did not take the burial ground key! It was a piece of cake! "Gojir could not help but laugh out loud.

Estory and Casares immediately went over to him.

"It really is the ninth burial ground key!!! But why did the powerhouse kill the guardian of the burial ground but not take the key? "Casares asked in confusion. In fact, it was the same question on many people's minds.

"It's possible that the guardian of the burial ground did not die, and the intruder was severely injured. Therefore, the intruder did not take the risk to take the key and chose to escape. Not long after he left, the guardian of the burial ground died from his injuries, "Reid gave his speculation.

"If that's the case, then the body of the guardian of the burial ground should still be here, right?" Estory looked at Reid doubtfully.

"Soul-type undead don't leave a body behind after death," Reid shook his head and laughed.

At this time, Gu Ding looked in Melissa's direction. After hesitating for a while, he spoke to her telepathically, "Did you kill the guardian of the burial ground here? Did you hide the key as well? "

Melissa was stunned at first, then she turned to look at Gu Ding and nodded silently.

"Because when all nine keys leave the burial ground, Heinoas' burial ground will open. Therefore, I could only hide the key in the burial ground and leave some clues for them to track me to buy some time. I didn't expect them to find the key directly … "

"There's one thing I don't understand. How did your spirit tattoos change? As far as I know, everyone's spirit tattoos are specific and can't be disguised. Even if you try to cover it up, there's a distance limit. With those bugs probing at close range, it's impossible to make a mistake, "Gu Ding raised the doubt in his heart.

"Of course I have my ways, but you can't learn them." Melissa shook her head as if she did not want to explain anything. "Now that all nine keys have appeared, if I'm not wrong, this ruin will soon change drastically …"
