1882: C1882 Crisis

C1882 Crisis

"Don't you know such a big thing?" One of them said in surprise.

"Yeah, I just came back. I just heard that there's something big, but I don't know what it really is." Lin Long said.

The other person said, "This is because some fellow disciples found a stone wood man grave near the Mt. Tumu, in the northwest direction of the camp."

"We actually found the Stone wood man Graveyard." Lin Long said in surprise.

That person continued, "That tomb is not the same as before. I heard that it's very strange, and everything inside is black. There's also a very large hall, and after they went in, they suddenly saw many tombs emerging from it ?"

Another person continued, "This is not much, only then did it become astonishing. Just when the fellow apprentices thought that there would be treasures in the tomb, one giant spider after another came out from the tomb. Those giant spiders are extremely powerful, even the ones with rune stone swords aren't a match for them."

"It can't be, they're so strong?" Someone beside him couldn't help but to ask.

This person was the one who had heard their discussion and walked over. It was clear that this person had also just returned to the camp and did not know what had happened today.

"Senior Brother, you just came back."

"That's right... Go on and tell me what happens next! "

"Because of the appearance of those spiders, all the fellow disciples that went in ran away in a panic. Some of them even ran out from the camp, but some of the giant spiders did not let them go, and there were also a few who chased after them. These giant spiders even chased into the camp, and several of them died at the hands of the spiders.

"Fortunately, two of our junior brothers were smart and directly closed the gate to the tomb when they escaped. If it wasn't for that, more people would have died in the camp." Another person said.

The two of them sang the same tune.

"Doesn't that mean the people trapped in the cemetery are dead?" the man who had surrounded him asked.

"Of course. Those giant spiders are so powerful, and there are quite a few of them. No matter how strong the people inside are, there's only one ending, and that is death."

"What's the situation now? Did Instructor Yao Hongsheng inform the dean and the elders about this matter and then send someone to deal with the giant spiders in the tomb?" the surrounding people asked again.

This is a major event, so after killing those giant spiders and understanding the situation, Instructor Yao Hongsheng immediately reported the situation to the elders above. Several of the elders directly came to the Stone Wood World and followed Yao Hongsheng to the tomb. One of the two men said.

"That's not hard to find, is it?" The surrounding people were puzzled.

"At the beginning, they also felt that it wouldn't be difficult to find it, but after that, they were unable to find it no matter how hard they tried."

"Can't you even find the place where you came from?"

"We couldn't find it. So that place directly collapsed and was buried by the slope on the other side. That's because the few elders could only return and give up. They said they would organize a thorough investigation when that happens."

"Of course, there is another reason. Those elders and Instructor Yao Hong Sheng do not place those giant spiders in their eyes, because those giant spiders are just powerful inside. They are not the elders' match, otherwise, Instructor Yao Hong Sheng would not be able to kill them so easily."

"That's all we know. If you want to know more, you can ask Instructor Yao Hongsheng."

"Both of you, it will be difficult if you keep doing this. If I were to ask Instructor Yao Hongsheng, why would I still listen to you here?" The surrounding people couldn't help but curse.

After a short pause, he said, "However, I still have to thank you for your explanation."

Lin Long also thanked him in such a manner.

"You're welcome." The two of them said.

After knowing the general situation, Lin Long then left these few people, and continued to head towards his own residence.

After walking for a short while, a few people walked over. They were Meng Han and his henchmen.

Seeing Lin Long, Meng Hen immediately stopped.

"Brat, you're back. I thought you died somewhere!" Meng Wen said coldly, his eyes staring straight at Lin Long, if looks could kill, Lin Long would have died already.

"It was all thanks to Your Highness." Lin Long smiled indifferently.

"You brat, don't ever leave the camp, otherwise, I will let you know how to write the word 'die'!" Meng Hen threatened again.

"Hmm, Crown Prince, do you have a grudge with this person?" At this moment, a person beside Meng Huan spoke.

Lin Long had never seen this person before, but he had been staring at Lin Long the entire time, causing Lin Long to feel that it was strange.

"Of course... I want to kill this person! " Meng Wen said coldly.

"This person, it seems like I saw him in the stone wood man's tomb before!" The person next to Monk said.

Hearing that, Lin Long's face could not help but reveal a surprised expression, at this time, he also felt that he had seen this person before in the hall.

"Have you seen him? "It can't be?" Meng Huan asked with a puzzled expression.

He did not see Lin Long in the hall.

"I'm not wrong, I saw him in the hall earlier. He was at the center of the hall with us at the beginning, but when the tomb appeared, he immediately ran to the corner." That person replied.

"So he came out before us?" After glancing at Lin Long, Meng Huan asked.

"No, he definitely wasn't out when we came out!" That person directly confirmed.

"Xue Gao Zhuo, are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Meng Wen could not help but say.

"There's no mistake, it's him!" Seeing Meng Han ask this question, the person who taught Xue Gao Zhuo also spoke with certainty.

Hearing him say that, everyone including Meng Huan revealed a surprised expression. In their eyes, those who stayed inside were definitely already dead, so if Lin Long was really inside and coming out now, they would naturally be shocked.

"Senior brother, you must be seeing things. I've never been to that tomb." Lin Long immediately denied.

This was not a joke, if he was sure that he did not come out before and now that he suddenly appeared in front of everyone, the people from the Symbol Literature Academy would definitely take him to ask around.

Seeing that Lin Long was so sure, Xue Gao Zhuo couldn't help but be suspicious, but in the end he still said with certainty: "Don't lie to me. You were inside there at the time, and you couldn't come out after the door was closed!"

"You were wrong." Lin Long said with an indifferent expression, as if nothing like that had really happened.

With that, he left, leaving behind a few confused people.

Lin Long quickly returned to his own residence.

The next day, he still went to look for Old Uncle Hu, but what made him depressed was that Old Uncle Hu was still nowhere to be seen.

Before Old Uncle Hu could say anything, he discovered that Fang Liang had brought two people with him to his doorstep.

"Shixiong Fang Liang, what can I do for you?" Seeing the trio appear, Lin Long naturally felt that it was not good, but he still said indifferently.

"Junior Brother Lin Li, someone said that you have been to the stone wood man's tomb, and that you had not returned when the door was closed ? Whether this is true or not, I'll have to trouble you to explain it to me. " Fang Liang replied directly.

"That's not the case." Lin Long immediately shook his head. Right now, it should be that Xue Gao Zhuo who had seen him before, and he would naturally insist that such a thing had never happened.

"Is that so?" Fang Liang frowned and said, "However, we still need you to cooperate with us and go to Instructor Yao Hongsheng for an inspection."

Seeing how Fang Liang and the other two were acting, Lin Long knew that he could not refuse them, and nodded his head: "Ok."

Fang Liang and the other two let him come out first, then began searching his room.

After that, Fang Liang and the others took him away.

Before long, he was brought to a large hall in the central area of the camp.

After arriving here, Lin Long realized that there were three people sitting inside.

One of them was a middle-aged man without a white beard. He was wearing the uniform of a instructor at the Symbol Literature Academy.

Beside him sat two old men. The two old men were dressed in the uniform of the Elder of the Symbol Literature.

"Elders, Instructor Yao, Lin Li has arrived." Bringing Lin Long to the three, Fang Liang respectfully said.

It was obvious that this middle-aged man without a beard was Yao Hongsheng.

"Mm. Fang Liang, you may leave." Yao Hong Sheng looked at Fang Liang.

Fang Liang immediately walked out.

"Greetings, Elders. Greetings, Instructors." Lin Long replied respectfully.

"Lin Li, I heard that you've been to that cemetery before, and you still haven't come out when the gate closed?"

"If this is true, will you please tell us what happened?"

The two clan elders immediately replied, staring at Lin Long as they spoke, as though they could see through him.

Yao Hong Sheng laughed, "Lin Li, don't worry. We just want to know the details. If you have really entered, we will reward you. I can even teach you how to create a rune stone sword on your own."

Allowing such a teacher to personally teach him was something that everyone in the camp dreamed of. It was just that, how could Lin Long be tempted by such conditions.

Therefore, he directly said, "Reporting to the two Elders and Instructor Yao, Lin Li has never been to the tomb."

"Don't lie to us, otherwise the consequences will be terrible!" One of the Elders immediately said in a cold voice.

"The best case scenario would be to be imprisoned in the prison and be subjected to all sorts of torture. You can never leave the prison, and the worst case scenario would be immediate annihilation!" The other said as well.

"Elders, Lin Li has really never entered that tomb, nor has he even been near it. I have only heard about this from the two senior brothers in the camp." Lin Long said again.

Naturally, such a threat could not threaten him.

"Is that so? Then take off the spatial ring on your hand and let us take a look?" Yao Hongsheng frowned.

By doing so, he naturally wanted to find out if there were any traces of it within Lin Long's spatial ring.

Lin Long immediately took off the spatial ring on his hand and handed it over.

After taking the Space Ring, the three of them immediately started to look through it. Their eyebrows creased because they didn't find anything inside.

Lin Long had only placed a few crystal profound stones and some materials inside, how could they possibly discover anything?

"What's the other ring you're wearing?" Yao Hong Sheng said.

He was naturally referring to the rune space ring in Lin Long's hands.

"This is only a ring passed down from my family. It's useless." Lin Long said.

"Is that so? Then show it to us." Yao Hong Sheng said.

Lin Long could only take the rune space ring down and hand it over.

He was not worried that Yao Hong Sheng's group of three would be able to see through him. After all, the difference between the runes in this world and the runes in Chaotic Continent was too huge.2

As expected, after the three of them carefully examined the rings for a good while, they could not find anything. In the end, they could only return the two rings to Lin Long.

"Alright, you can go back now. However, I hope that you won't lie to us. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Yao Hongsheng added.

"Disciple naturally wouldn't dare to lie to the two elders and Instructor Yao." Lin Long quickly replied.

After he finished speaking, Lin Long left.

After Lin Long left, Yao Hong Sheng looked towards the two elders and asked, "Elders, what do you think?"

"Although I can't see anything wrong with this tree, I think I'll have to observe it for a while." One of them said.

"That's right. Meng Han is after all the son of the Prince of Meng, so he would never lie." Another person added.

"I will send someone to take note of him. Elders, don't worry." Yao Hongsheng said immediately.

Thank you, Instructor Yao. As for the tomb, we'll wait for the dean to come back before making any decisions, but don't worry Instructor Yao, the tomb is probably just a ruin left behind by the stone wood man with those rune spiders. The two Elders replied.

"Alright, we'll take our leave now."

After speaking, the two Elders immediately stood up and left.

After the two of them left, Yao Hongsheng called Fang Liang in.

"Instructor Yao, what can I do for you?" Fang Liang asked the moment he entered.

"Find someone to keep an eye on that guy for a while and see if he's okay." Yao Hongsheng replied without hesitation.

"Yes sir!" Fang Liang hurriedly walked out after he replied.

After he left, he immediately called for a twenty-something year old youth and said, "Kong Wu, keep an eye on Lin Li for a period of time. If anything happens to him, tell me immediately."

Kong Wu naturally obeyed his orders and left.

Lin Long naturally did not know of this, and after he left, he paid a visit to Uncle Hu's residence. What made him depressed was that the other party still did not stop.

However, just as he was about to leave, the middle-aged man who lived beside him suddenly walked out and said to him, "Little brother, if you have urgent business with Uncle Hu, you can go to Wu Yang Lake in the south."

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Long's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Many thanks."

With that, he immediately left the area and prepared to go to Wu Yang Lake to take a look.
