“Yes, my lord. I’ll make the arrangements now.”

This Mandrill Guard also knew that their general had a very vigilant personality, so he did not refuse.

After all, there was nothing wrong with being a little more vigilant.

Furthermore, the tomb did not exist in this mountain range. For some reason, caves had appeared one after another and turned into the entrance to the tomb. A few Mandrill Guards came in front of a few trees. Green light appeared in their hands and they placed them on the tree trunks.

The green light instantly left their hands and surged into the trees.

The trunks of the trees began to tremble and twist as if they had absorbed the essence of the world.

Swoosh!

The branches swayed and the ground trembled as if something was about to crawl out of it.

Swish!

A thick root was pulled out of the ground, caked in mud. Alongside it, slender roots trembled, attempting to shed the clinging earth.

Soon, a Treant appeared in front of them.

Although the aura on his body was not very strong, it was most suitable for scouting.

“Go on.”

A Mandrill Guard said calmly to the four Treants they had enlightened.

With that, the Treants headed toward the cave.

“General!”

The Mandrill Guards returned to Lu Shan’s side and nodded at him.

“Let’s wait.”

Lu Shan looked solemnly at the entrance of the cave and waited quietly.

The Treants leaped into the cave and swayed comfortably as though they were in their own home. They appeared entirely relaxed and unconcerned, showing no signs of vigilance.

Swish!

Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded. In the darkness, a willow branch lashed out immediately.

When the willow branch returned, it held a figure the size of a human head.

The Treant took a look and threw it out.

It was only the corpse of a bat. Other than its body being a little bigger, there was nothing special about it. Then, the four Treants set off again.

In the pitch-black cave, the sound of whipping could be heard from time to time. Unfortunately, there were no screams. Otherwise, the cave would appear even more sinister.

These Treants were ordinary ones that the Mandrill Guards had nurtured with the unique spiritual energy in their bodies. They did not have much intelligence.

However, they could transmit everything they saw to their master.

Outside the cave.

“General, those Treants have entered 300 feet deep. Other than some bats, there’s nothing else.”

“I didn’t even see what the tomb looked like.”

The Mandrill Guard said with a puzzled expression and told Lu Shan what he had seen as a Treant.

“Strange. That shouldn’t be the case.”

Lu Shan’s gaze landed on the footprints at the entrance of the cave again as he muttered.

The footprints had been formed not long ago, and there was a strange aura on them. This was also the reason why he was vigilant.

“This is bad!”

Suddenly, a Mandrill Guard controlling the Treants revealed a solemn expression and a trace of fear appeared on his face.

“What’s happening?! ”

Lu Shan looked at the shocked guard.

“General, I saw a strange figure. He died as soon as he saw the Treant!”

The Mandrill Guard glanced at Lu Shan and subconsciously took two steps back.

“What figure?! How are the other Treants?”

Lu Shan stood up and looked at the Mandrill Guard solemnly.

“I-I saw your figure, General…”

“As for the other Treants, they should be fine.” The Mandrill Guard’s voice was low and unbelievable.

“My figure? Could it be an illusion?”

Lu Shan frowned slightly as he guessed.

“I-it’s not just your figure, General—it’s how you look when you die!” The fear on the Mandrill Guard’s face lessened slightly as he explained to Lu

Shan.

“General!”

Just as Lu Shan was about to speak, another Mandrill Guard controlling the Treants exclaimed.

“General, I saw a map that recorded information about the Star Tomb!”

Hearing this, Lu Shan’s eyes lit up.

As for the phantom that killed the Treant, he could only put it aside for now.

“General, please look!”

The soldier who spoke stretched out his hand and gathered spiritual energy in his hand. Then, the spiritual energy turned into a brush.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The spiritual energy pen then began to draw on the ground. A moment later, a painting appeared in front of Lu Shan.

“Is this the picture on the cave wall?”

Lu Shan’s eyes lit up. From these pictures, he could see that the tombs were built by a person, or rather, a foreign race.

Although humans generally looked similar in appearance, Lu Shan was drawn to the unique star-shaped mark between their eyebrows.

“That’s right, General.”

After this soldier finished speaking, the spiritual energy brush began to dissipate. He sat cross-legged on the ground and tried to recover the spiritual energy in his body.

“What exactly did this person do? Why did he build so many tombs?”

Lu Shan looked at the figure with the star between their eyebrows.

In the pictures, the figure spread out his arms. There were threads of different colors in his hands that were connected to the entrances of every tomb.

“This should be where the cave is.’

Lu Shan scanned the picture and followed the direction they came from. He noticed that their current location was at the bottom of all the tombs..
