Chapter 1661 The Real Headquarters Of The me Holy Land
Earth Hermit, Elder Brendan, and Austin finally agreed to a n after an impassioned discussion.
They each had a task to fulfill: Earth Hermit would track down the nine natural vessels of dragon
energy. Elder Brendan would set up arrays to restrict these vessels. And, Austin would scour for an
area where spatial force existed.
Earth Hermit inferred that the nine natural vessels of dragon energy had been guarding a special space
with spatial force.
Austin took note of this and summoned the gnome to help him trace that space.
"Whoa! Is this the legendary ancient beast? The gnome?" Earth Hermit eximed. His eyes widened,
gaping at Austin''spanion.
Likewise, Elder Brendan stared at the gnome with sheer astonishment.
This was the first time that they met the gnome.
They quickly recovered from the shock, nheless, and began their work soon after with Austin.
Earth Hermit used his oldpass as a reference while treading the area.
Meanwhile, Elder Brendan set up arrays in the desert.
Austin and the gnome activated their spatial powers to scan the desert for vibrations of the spatial
force.
After two hours, the gnome''s face lit up.
"I felt the spatial force! Over there!"
he said, dashing at the direction he pointed.
Austin''s spirits lifted as well, and he followed the gnome to a dune.
"Yes. There it is. I can feel it!" the gnome said with conviction, pointing to the t dune beside him.
Austin perceived and confirmed the spatial forceing from the dune.
Earth Hermit and Elder Brendan followed Austin and the gnome in an instant, using their bodily
movement skills.
"Set up several arrays here to block the space. Hurry up or the nine natural vessels of dragon energy
will take the special space with them!"
Earth Hermit shouted.
Elder Brendan quickly threw array gs around the dune. They disappeared into the void which meant
they were sessfully installed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Nine huge dragon shadows tried to escape from the dune near them and hovered in the sky.
Though it seemed that they wanted to fly away, they couldn''t do so because the area was sealed by an
invisible force.
So, the nine white dragon shadows, which were a thousand meters long, growled helplessly and
struggled to flee.
Thanks to Elder Brendan''s arrays, the area waspletely locked down.
"We still need more space-blocking arrays. The nine natural vessels of dragon energy are incredibly
powerful,"
Earth Hermit said.
Upon hearing this, Elder Brendan hurled more array gs around the dune.
Soon, the entire space had beenpletely locked down by immense power.
Meanwhile, the desert rumbled, with the sounding from different directions.
It seemed that the nine natural vessels of dragon energy persisted on escaping the desert.
However, their attempts kept failing
for Elder Brendan''s arrays worked rigorously to prevent the nine natural vessels of dragon energy from
running away.
After a while, the dragon shadows finally stopped. They rushed back into the dunes before everything
quieted down.
"We did it!
Now, the nine natural vessels of dragon energy can''t go anywhere.
We just need to find that special space,"
Earth Hermit said, excitement filling him.
The three of them, along with the gnome, proceeded with their search.
The gnome dug the ground with his paws and set aside the red sand.
Then, he made a startling discovery. An old, octagonal well came into his view!
Its mouth was made of a boulder and was covered by a huge stone te.
Earth Hermit removed the gstone and saw the well. However, he couldn''t see the bottom of it even
with the aid of his spiritual sense.
A musky smell filled their noses. They realized that the well had been abandoned for a long time.
After studying the well, the gnome said, "This connects to another space. It''s a spatial passage."
He very well knew what he was talking about since he was best at spatial forcepared to Austin,
Earth Hermit, and Elder Brendan.
"Let''s go down there and have a look," Earth Hermit suggested.
As someone who loved going on adventures, this trip had kept his spirits up. The promise of finding
what they were looking for at the bottom of the well exceeded whatever apprehensions he might''ve
had.
Besides, he was one of the most powerful masters in the East Maind. No threat could sway him
against keeping at his excursion. And so without waiting for hispanions'' response, he jumped to
the well.
Elder Brendan followed suit.
Austin, however, was frozen in his ce and lost in his thoughts. ''There''s nothing to be afraid of. I''m
with two great masters. The gnome is with me, too. I can do this, '' he assured himself.
Hence, he dove down the well, too.
In just a few moments, his feet touched the ground.
When he looked up, he was amazed by his surroundings. It was teeming with nts of different kinds.
This waspletely different from what he had imagined.
There was even an azureke ahead of him that was surrounded by tall and vibrant grass and bushes.
Old, towering trees sprawled across the area, with their branches as sturdy as bridges. Each of their
canopies cast over a thousand square feet of shade.
Beautiful flowers of all kinds were in bloom. nts grew abundantly. Their fragrance sent intoxicating
sensations to Austin, rejuvenating him in the middle of their seemingly endless journey.
In spite of the ce''s charm and abundance, Austin felt something was missing. An eerie silence
pervaded it.
''How long has this ce been like this? It looks alive, but it looks abandoned too, '' Austin thought.
A handful of grand buildings stood quietly in the distance. Some of them were located at the summit,
others were built in front of the cliffs, as well as beside theke.
Sadly, though, many pces, pavilions, and houses had copsed, with nothing left of them but ruins.
"Oh dear. This... This is the real former headquarters of the me Holy Land!
It looks exactly like what''s in the books!" Elder Brendan eximed, his voice trembling with his
realization.
His face was filled with tears.
He knelt down and pressed his hands against the ground, paying the deepest respect to thend he
longed for.
Earth Hermit, Austin, and the gnome were taken aback by their discovery.
Suddenly, Earth Hermit screamed.
"There are so many corpses!"
He hurtled around. Austin and Elder Brendan followed him, their faces quickly shifting expression from
excitement to disconcertment.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Soon, they saw a multitude of dead bodies, scattered around the ce.
The bodies belonged to men, women, old, and young. They were all wearing ancient regalia.
But what shocked the group more was that the corpses didn''t rot one bit. It looked as if they had just
passed away for a day.
Austin and the gnome couldn''t help wondering how the remains of these people
who had died long ago managed to preserve their bodies this way.
Earth Hermit took time to contemte what they had just seen.
"Perhaps, a powerful array exists here that can freeze time.
That could be the reason why these corpses haven''t rotten after such a long time," he surmised.
Austin was stopped in his tracks.
"Seriously? There is such a thing that can make time stand still?" he blurted.
"I know some of them," Elder Brendan said, his eyes swollen from crying.
"They were members of our me Holy Land."
He walked closer to the dead bodies.
"Hugh... Becky...," Elder Brendan murmured.
He got up to look for more acquaintances, as tears continued to rush down his face.
