In less than three minutes, Night Breeze successfully reached the bottom of the Black Nest.
Looking at the entrance without a door, Ye Feng's expression turned solemn. He quickly walked into the passage, and with his strength at the Separation and Union Realm, he naturally had little to worry about.
However, as soon as he entered the Black Nest, Ye Feng sensed an unusual aura, and this aura was coming from above!
Night Wind frowned, then looked up and was shocked to find that the Black Nest was actually like a huge revolving shopping mall, with tall staircases that stretched all the way to the top.
At the same time, Ye Feng also saw countless shriveled corpses lying on the ground, looking as if they had been dead for a long time and had decomposed. However, Ye Feng could clearly see that the wounds on these guys were definitely caused by zombies biting and devouring them.
"Why haven't these guys turned into zombies?" Ye Feng was taken aback, but he didn't stop and quickly moved upwards.
Then Ye Feng slowly observed and noticed bloodstains on the ground, but they had already dried and their origin was unknown.
Standing in the middle of the first floor of the Black Nest, Ye Feng looked around. All the darkness was driven away by the firelight, and in his eyes there was only a bright world.
Each level of this black nest is several hundred square meters in size and is circular with no other obstructions, so the night wind can easily see everything in the vicinity.
The night breeze reached a tightly closed door. The heavy door was shut, and strange noises could be heard coming from inside.
"Let's go in and take a look." Ye Feng stepped forward and kicked open the heavy door. He also sensed that the door was made of unusual material. If someone below the Separation and Union Realm was not in the ability to force it open, it would be impossible. Moreover, it looked quite old and not something that had been built recently.
However, Ye Feng didn't think too much about it and strode straight in.
In the dimly lit room, torches hanging on the walls were burning, casting a bright light and dispelling the darkness.
The space inside the Black Nest was much larger than expected, even Ye Feng was slightly surprised. The things inside looked very old and must have been hundreds of years old. The fact that they could survive to this day must mean that they held some unknown secrets.
Here, Ye Feng saw several zombies lying on the ground groaning, and the ground was covered with white threads.
It's obvious that they are all zombies who have just failed to break through to the White Zombie stage!
Night Wind frowned, then killed them all with a single sword strike before retreating back to the first level of the Black Nest.
"Nothing special, let's go upstairs." Seeing that there was nothing special, Ye Feng began to climb up the spiral staircase in the middle of the Black Nest.
In no time, Ye Feng arrived on the second floor.
There was nothing particularly special about this place, but the bloodstains on the ground had increased.
The night wind did not linger, but continued its upward climb with a sense of unease.
This time, Ye Feng climbed more than ten floors in a row. The conditions on each floor were basically the same. However, when he climbed to the twentieth floor, something suddenly appeared that puzzled him.
Inside the twentieth floor, the entire room was filled with enormous cages from a hundred years ago. It was unknown what material they were made of, but these cages had not been eroded by time and even looked brand new. However, the ancient and solemn aura was keenly captured by the night wind, so it was easy to tell the era in which they were created.
Ye Feng paused for a moment, then began to investigate this floor seriously. He found a lot of skin scraps and meat scraps in these cages. Both the bars and the inside of the cages were covered with a lot of dried blood.
However, there is nothing else.
Continue forward.
The night wind began to climb relentlessly, and the situation on the next ten floors was basically no different from that on the twentieth floor.
The thirtieth floor.
Night Wind finally made some special discoveries here. In the middle of these cages, near the stairs, there was a large wooden table with a lot of paper materials on it.
Ye Feng stepped forward, picked up a document, and began to study it.
"For over a hundred years, the Wang family has forbidden entry into the Black Nest. Everyone has always followed the will of their ancestors. As the current head of the Wang family, I, Wang Lu, have watched the family decline and had no other choice but to enter the Black Nest to seek opportunities. This diary is left to future generations so that if something unexpected happens and cannot be explained, or if it causes unnecessary harm to the family."
"So it's a diary?" Ye Feng put down the materials in his hand, then looked at a thick notebook next to him. To learn the truth about the Black Nest and the identity of the progenitor, looking at something like this was undoubtedly the best way.
Without much hesitation, Ye Feng started reading immediately.
"On the first day, we used very violent methods, but we still couldn't open the door to the Black Nest. Although we considered breaking through the wall from the side, the Black Nest has been around for too long, and we were afraid of destroying the supporting structure, so we hesitated to take action."
"The next day, I found a clue in my father's will and finally got the key to the Black Nest's gate in a corner of the ancestral hall. I couldn't wait to go in, but it was already late and I had to wait until tomorrow."
"On the third day, I arrived at the Black Nest with three of my trusted men. We successfully opened the door with the key. As soon as we opened it, the stench that hit us, mixed with an ancient and decaying smell, made the four of us nauseous, but we had no choice but to go inside."
"The first floor was empty, as was the second floor. It wasn't until around the tenth floor that some large iron cages of unknown purpose appeared. We were very disappointed and felt that we had come for nothing. After all, so many years had passed inside, so it was perfectly normal that there was nothing there."
"But in order not to have come all this way for nothing, and in order to seek an opportunity, we had no choice but to enter and begin our exploration."
"From the tenth to the twentieth floor, they are all iron cages, mixed with bloodstains."
"From the twentieth to the thirtieth floor, there were more iron cages, and we found the remains of some unknown creature in one of the iron cages on the twenty-fifth floor. The dried blood and the rotting, gruesome flesh made us want to vomit. It was really too hard to accept."
"To facilitate the subsequent progress, we did not continue to go upstairs, but instead moved some furniture and resources to some floors, which will make the exploration easier."
