Chapter 2149: Chapter 1892: Get Out of Here (Part 2)

Because those carvings are oracle bone script. He hasn’t studied oracle bone script much, but he happens to know the meaning of these characters.

From left to right, they are: one, 2, 3, four, five, , seven, eight.

The same eight passages, arranged in numerical order again; this can’t be a coincidence.

"This underground palace definitely has something to do with the Komi Primitive Forest’s cave."

Song Yun made a judgment in his heart; he didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

"It seems the one who built this underground palace and the cave is the same person, and surely a Huaxia person."

Song Yun pondered in his heart, his gaze landed on the "seven" passage.

Last time he went this way; he decided to choose this number again this time.

He believes seven is his lucky number.

Of course, there’s another reason.

The seventh passage has dense footprints, meaning that the Beast Spirit Clan who came earlier also chose this path.

If the underground palace and cave are really connected, then there must be beasts guarding inside the passage.

He doesn’t know how powerful the beasts inside are, but with the Beast Spirit Clan paving the way, choosing this passage can undoubtedly avoid some unnecessary trouble.

"Let’s go this way." Song Yun stepped toward the seventh passage and said to everyone: "Be careful; it’s dangerous inside."

The people followed him, Lang Xiaoran puzzledly asked: "Song Yun, why do I feel like you’ve been here before?"

Song Yun looked back at Lang Xiaoran, smiled lightly and said: "I haven’t been here before, but my intuition is usually quite accurate; walking this path should not pose much of a problem."

After hearing Song Yun’s words, everyone trusted him unconditionally.

They walked approximately two kilometers when a strong smell of blood wafted from the front.

Approaching closer, the beam of flashlight illuminated several bodies lying on the ground.

The corpses included Beast Spirit Clan people, as well as exotic beasts like the black bear, leopards, and fierce tigers.

It’s evident that a fierce battle took place here, causing heavy damage to the Beast Spirit Clan.

What’s strange is that apart from the Beast Spirit Clan, no other bodies were seen.

Logically speaking, since they weren’t completely wiped out, the Tiger Leopard Bear Beast Spirit Clan must have defeated their enemies and moved forward.

Oddly enough, where did their enemies go? Did they pursue them?

While everyone was pondering, Song Yun pointed to a corner: "The Beast Spirit Clan encountered monsters, and those monsters have been slain by them."

Looking closely, in the dim light in the corner, there was a black thing that was previously unnoticed.

Upon closer inspection, it was a monster resembling a bat, not very large in size, except its pair of red fangs were unusual; the rest looked quite ordinary.

But considering this beast killed several Beast Spirit Clan people, it must be quite formidable.

"It’s actually a Red-toothed Bat, but its bloodline is too diluted, its realm is late-sss level, even inferior to the Ice Condensation Leopard."

Song Yun muttered, using the Black Light Severing Sword to extract the inner core from the Red-toothed Bat’s brain.

This is unknown to others; in the end, it’s his gain.

"Let’s go."

Song Yun put away the inner core and led the group onward.

After walking more than ten kilometers, they passed through the passage and entered a gigantic hall.

Behind them, there were eight passage entrances, all converging here.

Above the passage openings, numbers were still written using oracle bone script.

"Indeed, the layout is identical to the cave below the Komi Primitive Forest."

Song Yun’s gaze shifted forward.

The palace architecture is grandiose, ancient and majestic, surrounded by carvings, mostly depicting humans battling various beasts.

Those beasts appeared bizarre, and Song Yun recognized at a glance that they were all monsters.

Currently, the types of monsters he knew weren’t particularly many, and most of the monsters depicted he couldn’t name.

To put it precisely, among the stone-carved beasts, he can name just five or six.

"Those unnamed monsters must all be extremely powerful beings, recorded here indicating that the builders of this palace had seen these monsters."

"Did these monsters once exist on Earth?"

"Or did the palace builders see these monsters elsewhere?"

"Elsewhere? Where might it be? Could it have something to do with Earth Martial Star mentioned in the Beast Spirit Clan’s prophecy?"

Song Yun’s mind was filled with questions.

Realizing that he doesn’t truly understand this world, there are many mysterious things waiting to be uncovered.

"Look, this creature looks like a dragon, yet more majestic, even though the carving is crude, it feels incredibly lifelike."

"What’s this creature? Its belly is so big and so ugly."

"These humans seem to be battling monsters; which side eventually won?"

Dongfang Yun, Nie Wushuang, and others were fascinated by the carvings on the wall, shining their flashlights to illuminate them, discussing in awe.

"All the carvings on the wall are monsters; maybe a battle between humans and monsters once occurred on Earth."

As Song Yun spoke to everyone, he continued to observe the palace.

Strangely, the eight passages behind are indeed like the cave below the Komi Primitive Forest, but there is no path in front of the palace.

"Where should we go next?"

Song Yun pondered, reaching out to explore the wall, hoping to discover a mechanism.

He also told others: "Try to press or turn the stone carvings on the wall; there should be mechanisms leading to the road behind."

Upon hearing, everyone tried to find mechanisms.

Boom.

Suddenly, a sound echoed in the silent palace.

It sounded like a stone door opening.

However, no one had touched any mechanisms yet.

They turned to look, seeing the east wall of the palace shift aside, exposing a dark passage with torches lit inside, and vague silhouettes could be seen.

"Days have passed, back in this palace again, without a single hair gained; it’s simply a waste of time."

"Middle door opened, treasures emerged; this can’t be wrong."

"If treasures were so easy to find, the Daxia Ruins would have been emptied long ago."

"Didn’t that outsider say he had a map? Is this bastard lying to us?"

"No... no, I’m definitely not lying to you, the mechanism that got us in here was discovered by me."

Voices sounded, and people emerged from within the passage, none other than the Tiger Leopard Bear Beast Spirit Clan and Shen Kunpeng who entered the middle door before Song Yun and his group.

"Hey, someone’s here."

Both parties noticed each other, and tensions instantly rose.

But then, Bao Cheng from the Leopard Spirit Clan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I thought it was someone significant, but it’s just some worthless outsiders. Those guys are merely ss level, daring to enter the middle door, simply courting death."

Xiong Gang said in a deep voice: "Bao Cheng, don’t laugh too soon; these people entering the middle door means our folks outside didn’t stop them."

Bao Cheng paused, then coldly said: "Xiong Gang, are you kidding? These worthless outsiders, the strongest among them is merely mid-sss level; we left six people and six beasts outside, all mid-sss level, how couldn’t they handle them?"

Hu Xiao glanced at Song Yun, disdainfully saying: "Outsiders are cunning, they surely used some crafty tricks to lure Hu Jun, Bao Liang, and others away."

Xiong Gang, most meticulous in thinking, asked: "Even if so, how did they pass through those eight passages? Earlier, that outsider surnamed Shen used thermal detection to probe, each passage had powerful monsters."

Hu Xiao pointed to the seventh passage, naturally saying: "Isn’t it obvious? We’ve already cleared the way for these guys; naturally, they can enter easily."

Bao Cheng and Xiong Gang looked and indeed found footprints only at the seventh passage entrance.

Instantly, they relaxed, no longer seeing Song Yun’s group that sneaked in as a threat.

Bao Cheng looked at Lang Xiaoran, touching his chin with a lewd glint in his eyes, said: "Lang Xiaoran, as a woman of the Beast Spirit Clan, how could you associate with outsiders, it’s a disgrace. Now, if you bring a few giant wolves over, we might spare you."

Lang Xiaoran said nothing, but Song Yun stepped forward, calmly sweeping his gaze over the Tiger Leopard Bear Beast Spirit Clan and others, saying: "All of you get lost; I don’t want to waste time."
