Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World-Chapter 476 - 440: The Mysterious Tomb

The place where the sudden event occurred is in Rongcheng, over a thousand kilometers away from Modu.

It is quite difficult for Modu authorities' special agents to arrive at the site quickly.

Therefore, Director Feng Xiaochen, who has been staying at the Ju Mang Base, has become the most suitable person for primary responsibly at this time.

Two hours later.

A silver van that looked quite ordinary parked outside a forest.

This forest is located in the southwest direction of Rongcheng, near Tianfu New Area, about 35 kilometers away from Rongcheng city area.

As soon as Director Feng got out of the car, Wei Fan's figure appeared from behind a nearby big tree.

In the past three months or so, Wei Fan has maintained a high frequency of contact with many warriors at Ju Mang Base.

Under the influence of the warriors.

Wei Fan gradually adopted some proficient habits of the troops and also gradually adapted to local life.

Seeing Director Feng and others arrived at the scene, Wei Fan quickly walked forward:

"Director Feng, you've arrived."

"Instructor Wei, you've worked hard."

Director Feng nodded towards him, looked at the forest behind, and asked:

"Instructor Wei, how is that area over there?"

Wei Fan made a gesture of invitation:

"Director Feng, let me take you over there first to see the specific situation."

Director Feng gladly agreed and signaled a few people behind him to follow.

This time, he did not bring many accompanying personnel; apart from his assistant,

there were five security personnel in plain clothes, plus a special agent from Rongcheng.

This person's name is Ning Hao; he had a somewhat plump physique, weighing around 200 pounds.

However, being arranged to help with relevant tasks, there is no need to doubt his consciousness.

A group of people marched along the narrow trail through the forest.

It was near early spring and the air in the forest was very fresh, occasionally you could hear some birds chirping.

Inside and outside of the forest, there was an air of vitality, no wonder couples would come out to practice outdoor wrestling.

After crossing a small hill.

A slightly low sunken area appeared before everyone.

The terrain of this sunken area was like a small pit about thirty square meters in area, located at the junction of two mountains, very inconspicuous.

If out on a spring trip, most people wouldn't even glance at such a place.

But at this moment.

There stood in the very center of the sunken area...

A tombstone!

At the same time.

More than twenty warriors, dressed casually, stood around the tombstone, either visible or hidden, with several small devices running in the farthest corner.

The group stopped about twenty meters away from the tombstone, and Wei Fan pointed to the tombstone and said:

"Director Feng, you see, this tombstone is where we found abnormalities."

Upon hearing this, Director Feng carefully examined the tombstone.

The tombstone does not have any inscriptions and is slightly taller than your average personal tombstone.

Based on visual estimation, it is roughly close to 1.8 meters, while an average tombstone around 1.5 meters is considered tall.

Besides.

Behind the tombstone is a very standard small mound, looking like a solitary grave.

Then, Director Feng asked:

"Instructor Wei, does this tombstone and the spiritual energy have any relation?

Could it be that it has been here originally, but went unnoticed until now?"

Facing Director Feng's question, Wei Fan lightly shook his head and patiently explained:

"Director Feng, you are not a cultivator above the fourth-layer Qi cultivation, so you cannot sense the anomaly of the tombstone.

I can tell you very clearly.

The tombstone has an extremely strong attraction to spiritual energy, and there are some array reactions coming from within.

It's evident that it appeared by absorbing spiritual energy."

Director Feng was stunned upon hearing this, then slowly nodded.

Although he could not perceive the peculiarities around the tombstone,

since Wei Fan said so, the tombstone must have some relation to spiritual energy.

Then, he lifted his head and looked around.

The area occupied by the tombstone—or rather, the sunk area—was very small; hence there was no need for a widespread, high-profile lockdown.

This could undoubtedly be considered good news.

After all, this place is only thirty kilometers from Rongcheng city center, and if a big setup is needed, the process would be quite cumbersome.

Meanwhile, since this area is surrounded by forest, the trees serve as natural barriers.

Hence the group does not need to worry about satellite capturing certain images and can conduct research with peace of mind.

Then he thought of something, looked at Wei Fan, and asked:

"Clan Leader Wei, can this grave be opened directly?"

Wei Fan pointed to the grave and said:

"Director Feng, according to our senses, there are certain restrictions in this grave.

However, perhaps due to being too old, most of these restrictions have already failed.

The only one still operational is a spirit-draining array; it's necessary to input enough spiritual energy to fully activate it.

This is why we sought assistance from higher departments.

After all, without higher department's authority, we dare not rashly open the grave."

After hearing Wei Fan's introduction, Director Feng finally understood the general cause and effect:

The event stemmed from a recent spiritual energy leakage.

Over two hundred cubic spiritual energy began to drift with the wind after the leakage.

At this time, during early spring, the prevailing wind in Rongcheng is mostly southwest, hence the gas naturally disperses toward the northeast.

And as it drifted.

A small amount of spiritual energy happened to drift to this sunken area, about two kilometers from the incident site.

Although the quantity of this spiritual energy might not be large.

But this is L17 spiritual energy after being compressed, with a real spiritual energy concentration over 35% given the part that cannot be absorbed by the human body!

Thus, after sensing this portion of spiritual energy.

The spirit-draining array inside the tombstone was automatically activated, causing the grave mound to surface.

Consequently, related array feedback was detected by Wei Fan and others later, finally pinpointing this location.

With these thoughts clarified.

Director Feng dared not be negligent and promptly reported relevant intelligence to the core-level.

Fifteen minutes later.

Instruction from the core-level was sent:

Open the grave!

Despite this sunken area being geographically not far from the city.

Due to being positioned in a cargo transit route area, hardly any idle individuals pass through here.

As for those few households originally here...

They are now enjoying themselves at the Mahjong table.

Meanwhile, with previous substantial acquisition of monster crystals, the helium iron microcrystal array's storage scope has been further expanded.

For example, several important local places now possess the emergency activation technology of helium iron microcrystal array.

Of course, Ju Mang Base is no exception.

This time, Director Feng and others brought a set of microcrystal array startup module, capable of swift response in case of anything unforeseen.

With such confidence, the rabbits naturally did not dawdle.

Upon receiving instructions.

Wei Fan promptly took out a box of L17 spiritual energy from the spatial bag—although extracting items locally is difficult, he is a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm after all.

Even Lin Ziming, who was quite weak, managed to take out a few stones and plants back then, let alone Wei Fan.

Then under Wei Fan's guidance.

A large amount of spiritual energy slowly drifted towards the tombstone.

Zhoo—

Although Director Feng could not perceive the presence of spiritual energy, the inspiration device he carried clearly depicted the movement trajectory of the spiritual energy.

The screen showed.

A green cluster slowly moved towards the tombstone, then abruptly disappeared ten centimeters away from the tombstone.

As a thoroughly ordinary person, it was only at this point that Director Feng fully believed Wei Fan's explanation.

Another ten minutes passed.

Rumble—

A sudden, faint vibration came from the ground, and a hole appeared beneath the tombstone.

Simultaneously.

The tombstone, which initially bore no inscriptions. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Suddenly and silently displayed a few enigmatic hieroglyphs.

....

Note:

Considering that I've fact-checked even the wind direction, could you all spare some monthly tickets!

Feel free to guess whose tomb it might be!
