Chapter 509
Chapter 509
In the deep mountains, on a gravel path, tall, blond Jim walked step by step, his face full of anger.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Those slick old guys, they don't want to bear the captain's anger, and push this crappy job to me, damn it!"
While speaking, a trace of awe flashed across his face, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, as if he was afraid of someone he would face next.
"What should I say, the captain's belief in the gods is so devout that he voluntarily gave up the gods' cemetery, oh! Just thinking about it is impossible..."
Jim was secretly dispatched not long ago, leaving the Valley of Gods, which he had guarded for half his life, and went to the headquarters of the Gods Organization, where he received a top-secret order.
After discussion, the Council of Elders decided to give up the Valley of Gods in order to guard this outbreak of Yin Qi.
When Jim first heard about this plan, he was so shocked that he smashed the table in front of him. But after seeing the deep eyes of the elders, he immediately understood that no one was joking about this matter.
In the end, he had to accept this cruel fact.
And he was also responsible for bringing the news to his teammates.
Jim's team was called the Gods' Tomb Guard Team, which had a high honor in the Gods Organization. Only those who believed in the gods most devoutly were eligible to be selected.
It can be said that every one of his teammates was a fanatical believer.
Including himself.
However, after suffering some threats and the elders' emotional appeal, Jim still accepted this plan.
After all, no matter how sacred the Valley of Gods is, it is just a pile of cemeteries. How can it be more important than the lives of living people?
However, he could not be sure that his teammates would think so.
Taking difficult steps, Jim walked halfway up the mountain and greeted Old John, who was wearing an old and broken hat and squatting at the entrance of the Valley of Gods.
"Hey man, is everything okay in the valley?"
This is just a common greeting, meaningless. Every time someone comes back from the valley, they always ask this question, which is equivalent to: Have you eaten?
However, this time, Jim got a different answer.
"Jim, you'd better be careful. I heard unusual noises at night. Maybe one of our colleagues has crawled out of the grave again."
"Or, something even more terrible has happened."
Old John pushed down his hat. The severe cold had no meaning for a strong man like him, but Jim always felt that Old John was particularly afraid of the cold today.
"Okay, I also brought back some bad news this time. Get ready. Maybe we will be idle for a while."
Jim waved his hand and walked into the Valley of the Gods.
The name sounds good, but in fact, this is a large cemetery, and the strange man has already come into contact with the extraordinary. It is almost 100% certain that there will be some problems after death, which leads to the valley being filled with yin all year round, which is very eerie.
What Jim didn't realize was that after he walked away, Old John looked at the moonlight in the sky, his face showing an obsession with the world of a dying person, and he made a strange gesture with his hands and muttered.
"The world is just the pasture of the gods. When the gods come, people begin to retreat. When the gods come, people begin to retreat..."
As he spoke, the expression on Old John's face became more and more indifferent. His humanity seemed to be fading, and his "divinity" was increasing.
Jim walked into the valley, with various tombstones on both sides. He didn't dare to look at them. It was night now. If he stayed for a while longer, chaotic mumbling would get into his ears.
For an old tomb keeper like him, although it is not fatal, it will also affect his belief in the gods.
Because gods should be high above and difficult to touch.
Instead of lying in your ear, saying all kinds of evil words, guiding you dirty, and existing like a demon.
What made Jim frown was that even though he chose not to look today and deliberately quickened his pace, he could still hear some strange and mournful noises.
"Is it true that what Old John said happened? Are the captain and the others okay?"
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
After going deep into the Valley of Gods and stepping onto a small hill, Jim saw a group of familiar wooden houses, a dim bonfire in front, and a tall man sitting there.
"Captain!"
Jim shouted, with deep respect on his face.
This man is a legend. He fought on the front line in his early years and dealt with many terrible supernatural events. Later, he became the youngest elder at the age of 35.
At the age of nearly 40, he took the initiative to withdraw from the Elders' Council and chose to enter the Valley of Gods.
"Well, what news did you bring back?"
The man raised his head and said lightlyHe glanced at Jim.
He was roasting something in his hand at the moment. Two bloody corpses gave off a burnt smell, and there were some messy skins thrown on the side.
Jim took a look and his body stiffened instinctively. For some reason, he felt that the captain today was particularly strange. The fear in his heart made him not tell the elders' secret order at the first time.
"Oh, oh, this, it's nothing serious. The elders said that we have to wait until the team members are gathered together to talk about it, and the two elders have already come to the outside of the valley. Captain, if you are uncomfortable with this order, please be patient."
"Then I will go and call others first!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away like escaping.
The team has the habit of hunting deer, bears and other wild animals in the mountains as food, but Jim always feels that the ones roasted on the fire don't look like either of these two animals.
Combined with what Old John said, Jim's face became even uglier.
"What is it?"
He murmured while going to other places in the valley.
First, there was a watchtower at the highest point. Inside was a big bearded man who was on alert all the time.
"Simon! Return to the team quickly. There is something important to announce!"
Jim shouted from a distance.
"It's Jim. I can't leave here without permission. Can't I just tell you what's going on?"
"The Elders' Council has issued a secret order. We must assemble!" Jim shook his head.
He left after he finished speaking.
What he didn't realize was that after he left, on the watchtower, the big bearded Simon suddenly looked up at the moonlight, made some strange gestures with his hands, and repeated what Old John had said before.
"When God comes, people start to retreat. When God comes, people start to retreat..."
Then Jim notified his teammates one by one. They all had different divisions of labor and responsibilities in the Valley of Gods, such as guarding, cleaning, counting the number of tombstones, and purifying problematic tombs...
A group of people gathered in front of a wooden house on a small hill in the middle of the Valley of Gods.
With more people around, Jim felt more confident. The captain continued to grill the meat without saying a word, as if he didn't care at all what he was going to announce next.
