The entrance to the Green Feathered Crown Ancestral Tomb was covered in damp moss.
Beneath the moss were cave entrances buried under dust and soil.
As he descended the stone steps at the entrance, Gu Xi noticed the obvious difference between the Green Feathered Crown and the Red Feathered Crown.
On the Green Feathered Crown side, the ground was likewise carpeted with the scalps and feathers of clan members.
Walking on them felt like stepping on a grassy lawn.
Gu Xi was not used to it at first, but then he thought about the roads in his city that were paved with bone fragments. What were scalps and hair compared to that?
So Gu Xi walked down over the feathers and scalps.
But the farther down he went, the more he realized something was wrong. There were far too many descending steps.
With the distance Gu Xi had already covered, he should have nearly reached the bottom of the mountain. Why was there still no end in sight?
Moreover, the steps and passageway were covered with Feather Crown Clan scalps all the way down. Wasn't this number a little excessive?
Just as Gu Xi was complaining about the situation, the passage finally came to an end. At its far end stood a tightly shut stone gate, marked with the image of a great tree painted in green material.
Gu Xi took a step forward, and the Smelting Crush Hand pushed open the stone gate.
The instant the gate opened, Gu Xi felt his entire body grow heavy, as though he were about to be dragged underground.
Fortunately, the Smelting Crush Hand reacted quickly and shut the stone gate immediately, keeping Gu Xi from being crushed to the ground.
Through the brief opening, Gu Xi had also seen what lay inside.
