Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

After a brief rest, Su Nan set out again. The path beneath her feet was bumpy, littered with large and small rocks and potholes of varying depths. Each step she took seemed difficult yet determined. Her steps were steady and powerful, as if each one carried the resolve deep within her heart.

After an arduous journey of unknown duration, when she finally reached the end of the valley, a cemetery suddenly appeared in her sight.

The place was as quiet as a forgotten corner of the world, devoid of even the slightest sound. The graves, shadowed in the dim moonlight, looked eerie and terrifying. Some of the tombstones were tall and majestic, yet tilted to one side and the other, as if they had endured countless vicissitudes and hardships over the course of time. Others were short and shabby, as if they would collapse and crumble in the wind at any moment. Still others stood crooked, surrounded by overgrown weeds, as if they had been ruthlessly abandoned by time, uncared for.

Su Nan took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging tension within her. She gripped the Galaxy Sword tightly, as if it were her only support in the face of this horrific scene. Cautiously, she inched toward the cemetery. With each small step, she could clearly feel an invisible, heavy pressure looming like a thick, dark cloud, as if the cemetery possessed its own independent will, resolutely and stubbornly resisting her approach.

At this moment, the surroundings were eerily quiet, without a single movement or sound. Su Nan's pounding heartbeat was particularly clear and abrupt in this deathly silence. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, one after another, yet she continued to walk.

Just as her toes were about to step into the cemetery, a chill like an icy snake suddenly surged from her heart, causing her to stop in her tracks. Her eyes were filled with vigilance as she carefully examined this mysterious and terrifying area, her mind racing as she pondered her next move.

Su Nan looked at the silent and extremely eerie cemetery in front of him, and suddenly felt a strong desire to retreat.

"Is this the so-called forbidden area? It's nothing more than a cemetery. It's really boring." She couldn't help but mutter to herself in her heart.

Originally, she had thought that there must be some earth-shattering secret hidden here, or that there must be something extremely dangerous and terrifying. But now what she saw with her own eyes was just this lifeless and dead cemetery. Su Nan couldn't help but feel that her previous nervousness and full of expectations now seemed so ridiculous and redundant.

She turned her head slightly, her gaze returning to the path she had taken, and her feet unconsciously began to move backwards. The hand that had been tightly gripping the Galaxy Sword loosened its grip a little, as if the sword in her hand had become exceptionally heavy, making it difficult for her to bear.

"Maybe I really shouldn't go any deeper. There's really no need to take risks here." Su Nan thought to himself, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at this seemingly ordinary yet mysterious cemetery again. He felt more and more that leaving was the wisest choice.

Just when Su Nan was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, a dull and heavy bell rang again.

"Dong-dong-dong" The bell sound seemed to have some kind of mysterious and powerful power. Each sound was heavy and distant, as if it was urgently urging her to enter the cemetery.

Su Nan, who had been about to retreat, paused in her tracks, her brows furrowed tightly together, her heart filled with conflict and confusion. The strange sound of the bell made her previously unwavering resolve to retreat waver.

"Is there some unknown and shocking secret hidden in this seemingly ordinary cemetery? Why is this mysterious bell urging me to go in so urgently?" Su Nan pondered in his heart.

She looked back at the long and bumpy road behind her, which was winding and seemed to have no end; then she looked at the cemetery in front of her that was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and finally decided to obey the "call" of the bell that seemed to have magic, and carefully stepped into this cemetery full of unknowns and fears.

As soon as Su Nan entered the cemetery, a strong, pungent, and nauseating odor of decay assaulted his nostrils. The watery moonlight poured down upon this deadly land, bringing no warmth or light but only making everything seem even more eerie and terrifying, as if he were in a cold nightmare.

Tombstones stood there in uneven rows. Some were tall and majestic, their inscriptions blurred, but the mere traces left behind still gave a sense of the former tomb owner's extraordinary status and pre-eminence. Others were short, shabby, and precarious, as if they would collapse at any moment. Still others lay crooked, surrounded by tangled weeds, as if they had been completely forgotten by the passage of time.

Scattered among the tombstones were the skeletons of various monsters. These skeletons were enormous and hideous, some still shrouded in decaying flesh, emitting an unbearable stench. Su Nan spotted an immense skeleton, shaped like some mythical beast from ancient times. Its ribs resembled rows of razor-sharp spikes, pointing straight up at the dim sky. There were also the skeletons of smaller monsters, their teeth still sharp and pointed, gleaming with a chilling glare in the cold moonlight.

Besides tombstones and skeletons, the ground was littered with a variety of bizarre spiritual artifacts. Some spiritual swords had been broken into several pieces, their blades rusted with rust, yet their former sharpness and brilliance could still be vaguely seen. Other magical treasures had dimmed their radiance, their runes faintly visible, as if whispering of their former glory and honor. Su Nan spotted a round shield, its surface engraved with mysterious and intricate patterns. Though battered and battered, it still exuded a strong aura of solidity and inviolability.

At this moment, the wind began to blow again, gently ruffling the hem of Su Nan's clothes. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the Galaxy Sword, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings. Every step she took was extremely cautious, fearing she might accidentally awaken the long-dormant unknown powers within the cemetery.

Su Nan continued to walk forward slowly. The ground under her feet seemed to emit an extremely cold breath, which penetrated into her body through the soles of her shoes.

Her eyes were drawn to a particularly unique tombstone. It was much taller and larger than the others, and its surface was covered in dense, intricate patterns that resembled an ancient and mysterious spell. Curious, Su Nan leaned in closer to examine it, only to find that the patterns seemed to slowly move, causing her to feel dizzy and swirling.

Not far away, the skeleton of a massive demon beast lay sprawled. Its vertebrae, broken and scattered, lay scattered beside it, along with its massive, sharp claws. The pointed fingertips seemed to evoke the beast's former ferocity and majesty. Su Nan couldn't help but imagine how majestic and invincible this beast must have been in life, yet now, all that remained was a pile of pale bones.

At this moment, she suddenly found a dagger emitting a faint glow on the ground. Su Nan picked it up carefully. The dagger's edge was as sharp as if it had just been polished, but it seemed to be stained with some blood of unknown origin, making it look particularly strange and eerie.

Suddenly, a sinister, eerie laugh erupted from the silent cemetery. Su Nan's heart tightened, and her grip on the dagger and the Galaxy Sword tightened even more. She quickly glanced around, searching anxiously, but could see no one.

"Who is it?" Su Nan shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the silent cemetery, but there was no response.

Her heartbeat grew more intense, almost as if it was about to burst out of her throat, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. But Su Nan knew very well that she absolutely could not retreat at this moment. She took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner fear, and continued to walk resolutely towards the depths of the cemetery.
