432 Wheres Your Chief? (1/2)

Leon shook his head and said, ”It's not a name, but what I am calling it. That thing is very huge, ugly, grotesque, fleshly, and slimly with a lot of tentacles.”

”I'm guessing that it was one of its tentacles that touched you, right? Was it cold, fleshly, slimy, or gross?” Leon asked the Early-rank Great Warrior, who previously cried in alarm.

The Early-rank Great Warrior immediately widened his eyes in shock, not comprehending how Leonhardt knew when he did not even see a trace of what it was. However, the description was stated precisely.

”Yes, that was exactly what I felt!”

”A fleshly giant with many tentacles? Can anyone think of anything by this description?” Chief Valencia asked the crowd, only to receive shaking heads.

She turned to Leon and asked, ”How did you find out there's such thing underneath the Black Swamp, Little Nephew Leonhardt?”

”It's another ability of mine, something I was born with. I call it Divine Sense. This ability grants me something akin to the omnipotent vision of my surroundings.” Leon came clean and explained his ability.

”Something you were born with? A bloodline ability?” Chief Valencia started to feel a little dizzy, considering how many abilities Leon had revealed. ”Are you the son of heaven? How can you have such an envious ability?”

Leon smiled without commenting.

He did not know how to answer that question.

But if he thinks about it, with the advantages he had coming to this world, in addition to his heaven-defying luck and fortuitous encounters, he might as well be the son of heaven.

Meanwhile, Darlene unknowingly smiled with glee. The more amazing Leon was, the happier and luckier she felt.

”Is it strong?” Chief Valencia asked.

”I'm not sure. I cannot tell just by looking at it, but my instinct tells me that we best leave it alone and not provoke it.”

Leon shook his head.

He had only managed to catch a glimpse of its entire being. However, it was enough to shivers down his spine. He had simply never seen such a grisly thing. Even demons look pretty compared to this thing.

”Of all the past Bone Calamities, no one had ever come this close to ever explore the Black Swamp during its eruption. There is a lot of secrets and history buried here…” Chief Valencia mentioned.

There was a part of history that seemed to have been erased or best forgotten.

At the very least, the ancestors had never mentioned how the Black Swamp came to be when humans first migrated to the Infertile Plains from the cold north.

Leon furrowed slightly.

The area he scanned around here was different from the spot he checked when he first arrived in the Black Swamp.

However, over here, there were still numerous bones of various races buried and intermixed with the wet soil, even all the way down to the 80ft range where he spotted the huge abomination.

It was like a giant pit that had been patched up with countless corpses and soil.

Rather than an ancient battlefield, it was more like a burial ground!

”What's the history of this place? Do you know about it?” Leon asked.

Chief Valencia shook her head and said, ”I'm not clear. I only know that a great battle once happened here, whether humans were fighting the demonic beasts, the demons, or something else. Only the ancestors know the exact details that transpired during that time.”

”Apparently, there was a time when the Seven Tribe Alliance boasted the most Battle Kings and lead all the human tribes of the plains… However, this is only hearsay. No can confirm it. Never mind. Let us move on.”

After Chief Valencia spoke, Leon and the group nodded.

Shortly after, the group began heading towards the location of the Teleportation Array. Along the way, Leon continued to send out his divine sense to sweep the area underneath.

As he suspected, the area underneath the soil was different. Some places were just filled with wet dirt, while some contained bones as far as 30ft underground, but nothing as deep as 80ft.

Leon was unsure whether they were just lucky or unlucky that they discovered such an abomination deep under the Black Swamp upon their arrival in that area.

Even so, this was only the very perimeters of the Black Swamp's outer region.

If more bones were revealed to be buried deeper, the further they venture into the Black Swamp, the estimated total bone count would reach an astronomical number compared to what Leon previously predicted.

It would at least be in the billions!

That equates to billions of lives, regardless of race! All were buried in one place, the Black Swamp. How big would the pit in the central region have been if all these buried bones and corpses were removed? Was it truly a battle of enormous proportion? Or did something else killed them all?

The thought chilled Leon's heart.

Nevertheless, he was filled with a curiosity towards the Black Swamp's inner region that was still veiled in darkness.

What sort of secrets lies within?

He did not know the answer to this question, but one thing for sure; it is a dangerous place.

The most dangerous places in the Divine Realm were not referred to as Perilous Lands like the Human Domain—No, they were called the Burial Grounds.
