An Ran couldn't bear it any more. Although she was a medical student in her previous life and these corpses were not uncommon, she had never seen a mummified corpse with such a horrible death appearance!
In this life, although she had experienced many things and had seen dead people and bones, she had never seen a corpse that had been dead for so long and yet remained dry and incorrupt!
She screamed in terror, her voice was deafening, especially in this long and narrow passage, it was even more terrifying!
"Sister, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." An Yu hurriedly hugged An Ran, feeling his sister trembling involuntarily. He could only comfort her helplessly, his face full of self-blame!
He was wrong, he was really wrong. He shouldn't have left the body in front of everyone, letting his sister see it...
After all, she had been through it all, so after the initial surprise, An Ran gradually regained her composure...
Jun Zichen also moved the body to a place where An Ran couldn't see it. He bowed respectfully to the remains of the body that had rolled to the ground and said, "Senior, I'm sorry."
Only then did he begin to quietly untie the black cloth on the chest of the remains.
The dried bones still retained the expression of the deceased at the time of death, and Jun Zichen easily read the anger and unwillingness from it.
Presumably, until he began to prepare for his own death, the senior who came into the passage was filled with anger, so this vivid expression was left on his last face.
This bone had his hands on his chest, and a thin crystal stone was tightly held between his hands and chest. Jun Zichen pulled out the thin crystal stone, which might have recorded some important information, and he gently read out the words written on it.
"Anyone who can find my last words must be a younger generation with whom I have a deep connection... If you are unfortunate enough to enter this secret realm, I can only regretfully inform you that this secret realm has no source."
Looking at the extremely serious handwriting of the ancestor who had long passed away, Jun Zichen couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
Although he didn't know who this ancestor was and why he came to this secret realm, based on his previous performance, Jun Zichen was confident that he and Xu Errong, An Yu, An Ran, and Su Fanjun were stronger than him!
However, those who can enter this secret realm are those who are allowed to enter by the Qilin mythical beast. They may be lacking in strength, but they will not be bad in talent and luck!
If their last words before death in a secret realm were "This realm is unbreakable", it meant that they must have exhausted all their life's knowledge and still could not find a way out in the long years.
Reading the last words left by the ancestor, the first sentence did not put Jun Zichen in a good mood.
Apart from the first sentence which is a depressing summary, the following words on the paper do not seem to be special instructions to future generations, but more like the diary of this deceased ancestor.
"On the first day I entered this cave, I accidentally lost my spatial ring. Most of my elixirs and food were never found again. I also don't have the strength to fight those ferocious fang vines to the death. The road ahead is difficult."
"I've been in this cave for ten days and haven't found any more traps, man-eating thorns, or vines. But the road ahead seems endless, and the road back leads nowhere. This is a dead end."
It turned out that this ancestor had also discovered something that had caused An Yu, Jun Zichen and Xu Errong to vomit blood at the beginning of entering the cave.
In this secret realm, the path you take, whether you go forward or backward, is completely different from the previous one.
It seemed as if there was some mechanism hidden in the darkness, causing the entire secret realm to change quietly every minute and every second. No matter where the strayers rushed, they would never be able to find the way back.
"Go on."
Xu Errong glanced at An Yu who was still comforting An Ran, and urged Jun Zichen anxiously.
If this was truly a dead end, what would they do? How could they break free? Were they truly left with nothing but the fate of this ancestor, leaving their bodies behind?
Jun Zichen also felt a sense of irritation. They were all young men in their youth, and no one wanted to turn himself into the mummy in front of him!
The next message was two years later.
"I'm trapped in this damn tunnel. I was lucky that there were no traps that could endanger my life, but I didn't expect this place with nothing to be so mind-boggling."
"Half a month ago, I finally completed the calculations. Based on the locations of those vine thorn seas and my most likely current location, I dug a thousand-meter tunnel upwards from this secret passage."
What a sturdy ancestor! He was actually in the secret realm and could even roughly estimate the best shortcut to escape. If Jun Zichen had to choose... I'm afraid he would just be able to fight randomly.
The more he watched, the heavier Jun Zichen's mood became. No matter how strong this senior was, at least his mentality when facing problems was much stronger than theirs!
"A distance of a thousand meters is far longer than the calculated length of the escape route, but even after the tunnel was opened, I still haven't seen the expected sunlight!"
"This was my last hope, but all I got in return was thick, yellow earth. Unwilling to give up, I struggled to climb towards the tunnel, but my excitement caused me to faint. When I woke up, the tunnel I had dug was gone! And all that remained before me... was this damned straight road!"
The handwriting is so powerful that it can be seen through the back of the paper, giving people a feeling that they can actually touch the angry heart of the ancestor.
Anran could imagine the confusion and madness of waking up from a faint.
Because everything before my eyes had changed completely without my noticing. The escape tunnel I had dug with great difficulty not only did not lead to a way out, but it completely disappeared after I woke up! And everything around me had completely changed without me noticing when.
Where am I? Am I alive or dead? What should I do next? I have no idea, so I fall into despair in silence!
"What we have done...our ancestors have done it too." Xu Errong said softly, recalling the experience of An Ran and Jun Zichen also making holes in the wall.
With the message from this ancestor, Jun Zichen could now assert that even if they returned to the place where they had dug the hole, they would not be able to find the new hole that was perpendicular to the straight corridor.
Su Fanjun sat down on the ground dejectedly, muttering to himself in dissatisfaction, "What the hell is going on? How could this happen?"
An Yu also sat down with An Ran in his arms. He said in a very depressed tone: "What kind of treasure do you think is in here?!
Didn't the Qilin say that the things in here were just toys for Angel? Why do these traps seem to be even more numerous than when we were looking for Angel?!
(To be continued.)
