Chapter 2046: Entering the Sacred Land

Jinsang held a map: "This place is where the various Werewolf tribes are; they are not exactly a monolith, and there is infighting among them as well."

"And right in the center of these three great tribes is the Sacred Land of the Werewolf Clan, where each tribe sends its elites to take turns guarding the perimeter every month."

"The Elders and Priests of the clan are stationed within the tribal territory, and a sacrificial ceremony is held here every month; the ceremony tomorrow, in particular, is even more important, as they intend to initiate a new wave of their reproduction plan."

"Then, since the women they were going to use as sacrifices were released by us, will they still continue?" Xueli asked.

"They will. The women used for the sacrifice are meant to initiate the reproduction plan and pray for the Wolf Ancestor to protect the prosperity of the Wolf Clan; it makes no difference whether there are women or not."

"Moreover, the heavy snow has blocked the mountains recently, so it is normal for the escort team to be late, but the Werewolves responsible for the escort will face severe punishment once they return," Jinsang said.

"The sacrifice begins tomorrow?" Chen Yu mused: "Will there be martial law tonight?"

"Yes, very strict. Our mission this time is quite difficult," Jinsang sighed: "Are we going to lurk here and wait for an opportunity, or go straight to the Sacred Land?"

"Waiting for an opportunity here is not my style," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I think it would be better if we just snuck in and slaughtered them at the Altar until not a single one is left."

"That is very dangerous," Jinsang hesitated.

"Then you can provide support on the perimeter and don't have to go in," Xueli said: "We have no way back now that we've reached this point."

"I am not afraid," Jinsang was provoked: "I came here already holding the resolve to die."

"Besides, the lives of you two are far more precious than mine; if you aren't afraid, what do I have to fear?"

"Tonight, we act at the Hour of the Rat," Chen Yu said.

Night, the Hour of the Rat, three figures arrived at the edge of the Sacred Land.

The so-called Sacred Land is actually the ruins of an ancient battlefield, and it is located in a different plane.

It is just that there are several plane entrances around the Sacred Land, and each entrance is guarded by elites of the Werewolf Clan.

The Wolf Clan maintains the characteristics of a wolf pack, resting during the day and coming out at night, so every night is when they are at their most spirited.

And no one dares to be the least bit careless; after all, if something were to really happen here, they would have to pay with their heads.

Chen Yu and the other two appeared; the three had already changed into simple armor, which is the standard equipment for Werewolf elites, and they went straight to one of the entrances.

They saw a huge Bronze Gate appear out of thin air in this place, with rust spots all over it.

It stood on the ground without any walls, and behind the Bronze Gate was a deep, dark void.

"What are you here for?" Seeing the three approach from several dozen paces away, the Werewolf elites immediately became alert.

"We are here for the shift change," Chen Yu smiled slightly, walking forward as he spoke.

"Stand there, don't move; we need to verify your identities," the lead elite stopped Chen Yu from continuing forward.

"We really are here for the shift change," Chen Yu took another step forward.

"There is something wrong with him," the group of guards shattered their armor one after another, preparing to transform.

However, a cold glint flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, and in that instant, a massive Divine Sense was released, pinning the forms of those guards firmly in place.

Everyone's body stiffened; their consciousness no longer obeyed them. They rearranged themselves into two rows and stood still, letting Chen Yu and his two companions pass between them.

"You controlled their minds?" Xueli was shocked.

These Werewolves are all extremely savage, and their Mental Power is notoriously difficult to control.

Even if she used a Divine Artifact and gave it her all, she could control at most one or two, but Chen Yu could control so many people at once—is the gap in Mental Power between people really this large?

"Temporarily, only for three hours, but that is enough for us," Chen Yu said: "Pass through as quickly as possible."

The three stepped into the space, and when they emerged from the other side of the gate, the scene before them left them incredibly stunned.

Before them was a world full of ruin, with toppled stone statues everywhere, massive pillars, and palaces collapsed on the ground.

Countless tall skeletons lay on the ground, with weapons of various shapes and forms embedded in them.

These huge skeletons were the remains of dead gods; even though thousands or tens of thousands of years had passed, everything in this place could still show how intense the battle had been back then.

This was a slaughterhouse; whether god or Demon, no one could escape the shackles of death here.

"Is this that ancient battlefield?" Xueli muttered to herself: "Such a grand and incomparable scene, I fear only the gods could have displayed it, right?"

"Many people must have died here," Chen Yu looked at the piles of bones on the ground and shook his head slightly.

No one knows what exactly happened in this place ten thousand years ago.

But one thing is certain: many gods fell here, and it would be more appropriate to call this place the burial ground of the gods.

And a god is a god; even though they have been dead for thousands or tens of thousands of years, looking at those huge corpses can still make one feel a trace of terror.

The entire Sacred Land was filled with a murderous aura, and there were formless wails and cries throughout the heavens and earth.

Countless spirits of Resentment were all around; they had lived here for who knows how many years, unable to be reborn, only trapped in this place, year after year.

Over time, they condensed into Resentment here, to the point that the entire sky was gray and hazy.

Chen Yu and Xueli had an extremely strong sense for these kinds of spirits of Resentment, as these things belong to the category of Dark Creature; Xueli, in particular, smelled a cold, chilling scent from far away, which made her brow knit tightly.

"This is the Sacred Land; I didn't expect it to be so easy to get in," Jinsang muttered: "This isn't right; when I came in before, I felt that this place was guarded extremely strictly; it shouldn't have been this easy to enter."

"Then there is only one possibility," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "They knew we were coming today, so they set an ambush here early on, just waiting for us to walk into the trap."

"How is this possible? Was our trail leaked?" Jinsang was startled.

Just at this moment, an extremely dangerous feeling surged into his heart; with a roar, his entire form suddenly changed, turning into the image of a Werewolf.

Jinsang was a victim of the reproduction plan, so he could not be fully considered a Werewolf; he only had half the bloodline of the Werewolf Clan, and the claws on his hands were not as hard and sharp as those of a true Werewolf.
