The scene in front of Rocky flashed in a thunder of lights and suddenly changed into a desolate landscape. The ice tomb was gone.
"How could this be?!" Rocky froze in total shock then flew down. Just a moment before, he was staring at a huge ice tomb. All of a sudden, it was gone.
Rocky pulled the treasure map from his pockets and looked at it again. It indicated that he was in the correct place.
"Could the treasure map be wrong?" Rocky told himself as he stroked his own chin. "Emperors and ministers from the ancient times used to create simulated tombs to bait people and avoid the destruction of the real one. Does that mean that the Myriad Spirit Tomb is actually in a different place?"
Rocky wondered how he could differentiate what was real or not. He closed his eyes and thought long and hard before jumping down from the sand slope.
When he opened his eyes, the scene changed back into the original landscape.
"This must be an illusion." Rocky leapt and landed on the huge ice tomb. On it, he saw countless figures of all shapes and sizes. Some of them were extremely tall, perhaps more than ten meters high, while others were only the size of a palm. Some had black faces and tusks, while others had wings like birds. None of them looked human.
The creatures' sight only reminded Rocky of one thing: the spiritual race.
Rocky ran across the ice road that went through the entire ice tomb. He was shaking in fear. The ice tomb buried tens of thousands of members from different clans of the spiritual race. Why they were buried altogether, he did not know.
As he explored further, he gained some answers. It looked like the clans had undergone a very fierce battle. Many of them only had fragments of broken bones while some were beheaded. All of them looked terrifying.
"It looks like they went through an intense battle before dying," Rocky guessed. He could only imagine how intense it must have been. The tens of thousands of members fighting at the same time would have caused quite a scene.
He remembered the battlefield of beasts he had just passed by. Perhaps that could explain the broken corpses he was seeing. He figured that the masters of the beasts fought with each other as well, thus resulting in a completely desolate place.
Perhaps a terrible deadly war had occurred on the land he was in.
However, Rocky could only speculate. The truth might be more complicated. For all Rocky knew, the bodies buried might be clans of the spiritual race that existed on the Wild Spirit Land, both extinct and non-extinct ones. He was unable to guess what could have caused the war to begin with.
