Bab 1074: 1276
**Chapter 1276: Wisdom and Observation, Both Indispensable**
This is a garden. Finding a garden in a tomb is quite strange. However, after experiencing the mysterious manor, Lin Moyu was no longer surprised by such things. In the extreme of death, life is nurtured. It appears vibrant, but in reality, it is filled with death. Just like his undying laws, the extreme of death is life.
Drip, drip! The fountain continuously spouted water droplets, shooting up to ten meters high before falling back down. One drop after another, not many, but continuous. The fountain, which had been dry for ten thousand years, had started flowing again. It was like a dead, withered tree coming back to life after a hundred years, astonishing people.
Each drop of water from the fountain spread out a vast and clear aura of the laws of death. As the crystal-clear water fell and spread in the fountain, the laws of death projected above it, extremely clear. This place had become an excellent cultivation ground. If one wanted to comprehend the laws of death, this was the best place. As long as one wasn't too dull, spending some time here would inevitably lead to understanding the laws of death.
Following the falling water droplets with his gaze, Lin Moyu saw a group of Bull Demon Clan members in front of the fountain. Over a hundred Bull Demon Clan members were facing the fountain, standing, sitting, or lying in various postures. They were comprehending the laws of death.
Seeing this scene, Lin Moyu roughly understood why the Bull Demon Clan had blocked the passage. He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "They really thought of this. Doing such a thing that angers everyone, how many lives does the Bull Demon Clan have?"
Lin Moyu estimated that they hadn't been blocking the passage for long. Otherwise, the news would have spread, and it would have definitely caused public outrage. Whether it was the demons, humans, or the Golden Eagle Clan, they would have brought their armies. The Bull Demon Clan couldn't possibly withstand them.
Not far away, Lin Moyu saw a net-like magical artifact lying on the ground. It was this net-like magical artifact that had captured the resurrected Golden Eagle Clan member. Otherwise, with the speed of the Golden Eagle Clan, the Bull Demon Clan couldn't have killed him instantly. The owner of the net-like magical artifact wasn't dead yet. Although it was lying on the ground, it still emitted a faint light and could be used at any time.
Lin Moyu's heart moved, and over a hundred skeleton god generals rushed out, crossing hundreds of kilometers in an instant. The white sword energy illuminated the garden, and countless flowers and plants were swept up by the sword energy. Many Bull Demon Clan members, who were comprehending the laws of death, were torn to pieces by the sword energy before they could react.
Lin Moyu calmly took out a Space Locking Pearl and activated it. The Space Locking Pearl emitted a brilliant light, and an invisible force swept out. In an instant, the space was locked, and most teleportation devices couldn't be used. "You started it, I'll finish it. Since we are enemies now, I won't let you go."
The Space Locking Pearl was a double-edged sword. It could harm the enemy but also oneself. After locking the space, even if the Space Locking Pearl was deactivated, it would take some time for the space to recover. If one couldn't win, it might prevent oneself from escaping. Lin Moyu had encountered similar situations several times, where someone used a Space Locking Pearl and ended up trapping themselves, digging their own grave.
The Bull Demon Clan members reacted, exiting their comprehension state and roaring as they attacked the skeleton god generals. The skeleton god generals had the combat power of a third-level god-king, making them top-tier in this area. In the sudden attack, dozens of Bull Demon Clan god-kings were killed on the spot. The Bull Demon Clan also had fourth-level god-kings who fought back. But before they could act, their bodies suddenly exploded.
Stellar-level spell: Corpse Explosion!
Lin Moyu stood a hundred kilometers away, calmly detonating one corpse after another. With his talent, the corpse of a second-level god-king was enough to kill a third-level god-king. The corpse of a third-level god-king was enough to kill a fourth-level god-king. The skeleton god generals swung their swords wildly, relentlessly pursuing the Bull Demon Clan members. Lin Moyu continued to cast Corpse Explosion from behind.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Bull Demon Clan members were almost all dead or injured. Until the end, they didn't know who their enemy was. In their eyes, there were only skeletons. Lin Moyu stood a hundred kilometers away, unnoticed by them.
By now, the Bull Demon Clan members who had been poisoned by the Poison God Clan were almost all dead. Lin Moyu had the skeleton god generals collect their storage artifacts while he walked straight to the fountain to observe it carefully.
"The information didn't mention the garden, but if I'm not mistaken, when the fountain was dry, this garden should have been dead too. It wasn't until the fountain was restored that the garden came back to life. But why did the fountain start flowing again?"
Lin Moyu saw a thin layer of black water in the pool. The black water emitted a strong aura of the laws of death, very pure death water. The pool was filled with many stones, each slightly smaller than a fist, covering the bottom. The death water only covered about one-tenth of the stones, not much in quantity. The stones were entirely black, also emitting the aura of death, exactly the stones needed for the task.
Lin Moyu reached into the water and grabbed one of the stones. He lifted it, but the stone didn't move at all. "Hmm?"
This task wasn't difficult. The ancient tomb's danger level was medium, but as long as one didn't go deep, there was almost no danger. Neither of the first two tests, speed or willpower, was life-threatening. Considering this, the task seemed too easy. But how could the Human Emperor Network assign such a simple task and offer a reward of 5000 points?
"If I'm not mistaken, the real difficulty of this task lies here." Lin Moyu tried another stone, pulling hard, but it still didn't move. Clearly, although there were many stones here, not every one could be taken. And looking around, there seemed to be no pattern.
But could there really be no pattern? If so, it would be entirely based on luck, trying each stone until finding one that could be taken. Lin Moyu didn't think so. The Human Emperor Network tested cultivators' courage, perseverance, and wisdom, not luck. Luck was part of it, but not the main test.
Lin Moyu stopped trying each stone. He stood by the pool, thinking. Soon, his eyes brightened, and he had an idea. "Since this task was issued, thousands of people have completed it. But the number of stones here hasn't decreased. This means the stones don't come from the pool."
He looked around, seeing the vibrant flowers and plants. This was a garden, originally supposed to be barren, now full of life. At the roots of the plants, there were many stones. These stones didn't emit the aura of death and were gray-white, not the stones needed for the task. But the stones showed signs of being moved. Lin Moyu had a skeleton god general bring one over. After pondering for a few seconds, he put the stone into the pool. A few seconds later, black lines appeared on the stone. The stone began to emit wisps of the aura of death. After a few more minutes, the stone turned completely black. Lin Moyu took it out.
"This is the item needed for the task." Lin Moyu smiled and put the stone away. He looked into the darkness beyond the garden, "Next, I should go inside and take a look." This task tested not combat power but wisdom and observation. To become a true strong person, wisdom and observation were indispensable.
This task was actually not suitable for someone with combat power like him. He was mainly attracted by the ancient tomb. He instinctively felt that the ancient tomb was somewhat related to the mysterious manor, perhaps connected to some ancient secrets. The mysterious person in the black hole was clearly very interested in ancient matters. Even such an existence was interested, which piqued Lin Moyu's curiosity.
