 **Chapter 1446: The Curse from Billions of Years Ago**

The Skeleton God Warriors discovered another basin, but there was no stele inside this basin. The size, layout, and distribution of holes in this basin were exactly the same as the previous two basins. 

The basins were perfectly circular with a diameter of 10,000 meters. The number and positions of the holes inside were identical - exactly 100 holes with the same size. 

It was as if these basins were cast from the same mold, with only the stele being the difference.

The skeletons then discovered more and more basins. Lin Moyu examined each one and found they were all identical.

Lin Moyu guessed, "Could each basin represent a tribe or clan?" But this didn't seem quite right.

"The distribution of these basins is too uniform, unlike living areas. It's more like a military formation."

"If it's a military formation, there should be commanders and leaders."

Lin Moyu compared his findings with the mental map he had formed. He realized that the distribution of these basins was very balanced, forming a grid-like military formation.

However, this guess still lacked evidence.

Along the way, Lin Moyu felt very safe and did not trigger any curses. He didn't know what those who had triggered the curse had discovered. 

After all, he had only been here for two days. He couldn't be impatient.

The skeletons continued exploring in all directions. Except for the direction where the basins appeared, the other directions were completely flat with nothing in sight.

The land that once belonged to the Turul tribe was far vaster than Lin Moyu had imagined. The skeletons running in other directions could travel 130 million kilometers per day, but even after running for two consecutive days on this plain, the scenery remained unchanged.

The scale was completely beyond reason. However, Lin Moyu had a vague feeling that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

More and more basins appeared, with tens of thousands already mapped in his mind, arranged in a neat 100 by 100 grid formation.

Finally, on the fourth day, there was a new discovery. A hundred-meter-tall mountain appeared in front of the tens of thousands of basins.

At the moment he saw the mountain, Lin Moyu could finally confirm that these basins were not villages but military camps. On top of this mountain was a strange giant tree.

In his undead vision, the soul fire of this tree had been extinguished. 

Lin Moyu walked up the mountain and turned to face the basins. The mist cleared, and the tens of thousands of basins came into view. 

He stood high above, like a general inspecting his troops.

One could imagine that in those basins were once the soldiers of the Turul tribe, fully armed and ready to launch their so-called rebellion. 

The result was that the rebellion failed, and the tribe was slaughtered instead.

Who was right or wrong has long been buried by the river of time and no longer matters.

For Lin Moyu, uncovering the truth would not be too difficult. He could revive the strange tree in front of him.

But he didn't dare. An existence at such a level could very likely break free from the control of Resurrection of the Dead, just like the previous flower bud.

He got lucky last time, but he might not be so fortunate next time. The risk was too great and not worth taking.

This strange tree was a hundred meters tall, clearly larger and more powerful than the flower bud he had seen before. There was no need to take such a foolish risk again.

He shifted his gaze from the basins to the strange tree in front of him. The surface of the tree was not smooth but had protrusions, as if something was trying to burst out of its body, forming a peculiar pattern. The withered branches drooped down and connected to the ground, covering the earth.

Lin Moyu did not touch these branches. Instead, he slowly levitated into the air. The mountain was a hundred meters high, so at this height, he was experiencing an immense downward pull. As he flew up, he could only rise half a meter before being unable to ascend further over the mountaintop.

However, this did not stop Lin Moyu, as he had many ways to fly over. With a thought, a Skeleton God General appeared by his side. 

The Skeleton God General stood five meters tall with the combat power of the ninth stage of the God King realm, second only to the Skeleton King and the 200 Skeleton Generals with armies.

At the ninth stage of the God King realm, the Skeleton God General could easily fly up to 800 meters high. Lin Moyu placed one hand on the Skeleton God General's bones, and it slowly rose, carrying Lin Moyu over the mountaintop.

At the moment he crossed over, Lin Moyu's pupils constricted sharply. He saw dense vines covering the area behind the mountain. 

These vines were not drooping branches or roots but part of the tree's body itself. Part of the vines were on the mountain, while most were hidden beneath, intertwined with the roots.

The vines extended along the ground for an unknown distance. Lin Moyu realized he had underestimated this strange tree. 

The part protruding from the mountaintop was merely its head; the entire mountain was its body.

Based on the strength of the flower bud, the power of this strange tree must be unimaginable.

Immediately after, among the intertwined vines, Lin Moyu saw something different.

"Go there!" With a thought, he commanded the Skeleton God General to fly down.

He approached the vines and saw the object among them clearly.

It was a skull, its flesh and blood long dried up, the tight skin clinging to the bones. It was clearly a male skull, with features about 70-80% similar to humans. 

However, the skin was covered in fine scales, indicating it was not human.

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment, then signaled the Skeleton God General to fly higher and away. He then summoned another Skeleton God General to retrieve the skull from the vines.

The Skeleton God General grabbed the skull and pulled it out with force.

Boom!

A tremendous roar shook the entire mountain forest. A red light flashed above the Skeleton God General's head, forming the shape of a giant axe that slammed down.

The Skeleton God General was instantly shattered into pieces. Resurrection of the Undead automatically triggered, reviving the Skeleton God General, only for it to be shattered again. 

After five revivals and deaths, Resurrection of the Undead lost its effect, and the Skeleton God General truly died.

It was only then that the skull fell back into the mountain.

Lin Moyu watched this scene, "What a terrifying curse!"

The strange tree did not revive, but the curse it had set before its death still remained. 

The curse's power was very strange. Once the curse was set, it could last for an extremely long time. 

Although its power would gradually weaken over time, if the original strength was great enough, the curse could persist for billions of years.

This was exactly the case now. A curse from billions of years ago easily killed the Skeleton God General. 

Moreover, the curse's power persisted. Even after revival, it was useless.

Lin Moyu could only give up on this Skeleton God General. 

He summoned a new Skeleton God General to retrieve the skull again.

This time, it went smoothly without triggering the curse's attack.

"As expected, as long as I don't disturb the vines, the curse won't be triggered!"

Triggering the curse attack required meeting certain conditions. 

Disturbing the vines would trigger the curse's attack. 

If the vines were not disturbed, the curse would not be triggered.

It seemed his guess was correct.

Looking at the skull in the Skeleton God General's hand, Lin Moyu led it away from the mountain, stopping 10,000 meters away. He then unleashed the undead flames on the skull.
