"Yes."
Hu Li nodded vigorously and continued to communicate via sound transmission, "I'm sure I heard it right. They were talking about tombs. I suspect... they're here not for cultivation, but to excavate a tomb here."
A tomb... that explains it.
Why does the Ancient Battlefield have no vegetation?
According to Ji Yuan's past life's theory, it's because there is a large tomb underground, which has a water barrier, making it impossible for plants to grow.
But by the standards of this world... it means there's a large tomb below, where some powerful individual is buried.
Either this powerful individual had an extremely heavy killing aura, or there's some special arrangement within the tomb, resulting in this barren, desolate land.
"It's not impossible."
Ji Yuan, uncertain, mimicked Hua Yaoyue's tone, speaking ambiguously.
As soon as he spoke, he realized he was now lying in a soft chair, gently rocking back and forth, seemingly speaking in boredom.
