"Is this the Dragon Master Tomb?" Rocky murmured softly. Although the tomb didn't look magnificent, it still managed to give people a sense of awe.
"This is only a part of it. The Dragon Master Tomb is divided into seven floors, dozens of meters underground. From bottom to top, according to the chronological order, the ancestors of the Dragon Master Clan and the valiant warriors who had made outstanding contributions to the clan are buried in the tomb. This floor we are on is the lowest one, and the people who are buried here are the most ancient valiant warriors of the clan," Moira explained patiently.
Just then, Rocky noticed that at the very center of the tomb stood a stone statue among several dragon-shaped stone pillars. The carving was lifelike and ingenious, giving off a sense of majesty and power. He realized after observing it for a while that it looked a little familiar.
"Isn't this the one who is buried in..." His voice trailed off. Rocky's eyes widened in shock, as it suddenly dawned on him. The statue looked exactly the same as the body of the Dragon Master Clan soldier buried in the ice tomb when he was looking for the treasures left by the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire in the Myriad Spirit Tomb.
"Moira, who is this stone statue?" Rocky asked her seriously.
"Oh, he is the first patriarch of our Dragon Master Clan, and also a great hero. Without him, the Dragon Master Clan wouldn't be what it is today," Moira answered.
"The first patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan?" Rocky echoed, stunned. If the stone statue was the first patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan, then did this mean that the body of the Dragon Master Clan soldier he had seen in the Myriad Spirit Tomb was also the first patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan?
That was to say, the tens of thousands of bodies of the spiritual race beings buried in the Myriad Spirit Tomb could be dated back to their very beginnings. However, something earth-shattering happened, annihilating all of the spiritual race beings on the battlefield. Thus, they had been buried under the ice tomb of the Myriad Spirit Tomb. Among them was the first patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan.
However, Rocky also had a vague feeling that the mystery of the dead spiritual race beings had something to do with the secret kept by the spiritual race.
"I wonder if this has anything to do with Divine King Belial," Rocky muttered under his breath.
The existence of Divine King Belial was also a huge mystery. There were also the twelve human statues in the Heavenly God Temple. If Glutton wasn't lying to him, the twelve human statues might be the key to unravel the shocking secret hidden by the spiritual race!
"What's the matter?" Moira couldn't help but ask when she noticed Rocky's strange expression.
"Nothing... But why is there only one stone statue in the tomb? Shouldn't there be many great figures of the Dragon Master Clan buried in this tomb?" Rocky asked hesitantly.
"Because the body of the first patriarch was not buried here. Our Dragon Master Clan carved this stone statue of him to mourn!" Moira answered, her eyes lingering on the detailed carvings on the statue.
"What about his body? Where is it?" Rocky asked bluntly.
"I don't know. It seems the clan members weren't able to find it..." Moira tore her gaze away from the statue to face Rocky, shaking her head.
"Well..." Rocky replied, clearly at a loss for words. But Moira's answer clearly proved that even the spiritual race might not know about the existence of the Myriad Spirit Tomb.
After that, Rocky, Moira, and the other members of the team climbed to the topmost floor of the tomb. Once they got there, they found the entrance to the Dragon Master Clan's lair. Of course, for them, this entrance was also the exit.
"Go and check if there are guards outside," Moira ordered the two advanced ordinary spiritual beings behind her.
