Driven by curiosity, Chen Nan continued to swim forward.
About two hundred meters ahead, bright white light appeared again in front, and there was more than one.
There is no doubt that those are the bones of peerless masters.
Chen Nan was shocked. So many peerless masters were buried here! He swam closer and saw that there was no surprise. These were all women's skeletons.
The white bones piled up like a mountain.
No one knew how big this underground lake was. Chen Nan continued to swim forward in the direction where the bones were most densely accumulated.
He swam forward for at least two kilometers. All he saw were white bones everywhere. Most of them were severely corroded and glowed faintly, probably in the tens of thousands. There were also hundreds of bones that glowed slightly brighter.
There were more than twenty skeletons of peerless masters whose bodies were as bright as lights.
To cause the deaths of so many masters, an extremely brutal and fierce battle must have taken place in this place in the past.
Chen Nan continued to move forward. He wanted to see how many peerless masters had died here, and what the place was like at the end of these piles of bones.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, there were more and more skeletons behind us.
With the huge force of five hundred meters, the number of skeletons Chen Nan saw was twice as many as what he had seen within the previous two thousand meters. There were more than fifty skeletons of peerless masters alone.
Including the previous ones, there are more than seventy in total!
These are at least powerful people at the Tongtian realm. How could so many of them die at once? What terrible thing happened here back then?
Chen Nan couldn't quite imagine it.
After walking another fifty meters forward, he saw a huge rock in front of him with a strangely shaped hole on the rock wall.
Why is it said to be in strange shape? Because the shape of the cave entrance looks like a bird. To be more precise, it is not an ordinary bird, but it looks like the mythical fire bird - Suzaku.
Chen Nan swam above countless white bones and headed towards the cave entrance.
This underwater cave should be from the same period as these bones. Some peerless master might have lived in it, and who knows what priceless treasures he left behind.
After all, that’s how martial arts TV shows are played out.
Although Chen Nan felt that this was a bit unreliable, after all, so many years had passed and any treasures would have been corroded long ago, but with the mentality of giving it a try and out of curiosity about this underwater cave, he resolutely stepped into the cave entrance.
As soon as he entered the cave, an eerie breath hit him in the face, making Chen Nan shiver.
After he entered the cave, he found that there was a water-proof barrier on the entrance. He didn't know what kind of energy it was condensed from. Outside the water-proof barrier was an endless underground lake. However, as long as he walked into the cave, it was very dry inside. Even the water on his clothes was absorbed by the water-proof barrier.
What is even more puzzling is that although the inside of the cave is apparently dry, it feels even colder than the underground lake outside. It is extremely eerie and even makes Chen Nan feel a little cold in his heart.
"What a hell of a place."
Chen Nan used his internal strength to resist the cold.
Although the cave was pitch black, with his current level of cultivation, he could still see.
After entering the cave, there is a walkway inside.
Chen Nan walked along the aisle for about ten meters. Suddenly, there was a "swish" sound, and the oil lamp in the aisle lit up automatically, illuminating the entire aisle.
Chen Nan looked along the aisle.
I discovered that there were two rows of pottery figurines standing on both sides of the passage ahead.
However, when he walked closer, he found that those were not terracotta figurines, because they were all wearing cloth, and their faces were yellow and black, with their eye sockets deeply sunken, leaving only a layer of skin covering the bones. They were actually mummies!
“Hiss…”
Chen Nan was startled and took a step back.
Although he was brave and had killed countless people, he felt a chill on his back at this moment. With two rows of mummies standing next to him, anyone would be able to remain calm.
Like the skeletons outside, these two rows of mummies are all female.
"despair……"
"despair……"
"despair……"
The tunnel was very quiet, with only the sound of Chen Nan's footsteps.
He carefully watched the mummies around him, fearing that one of them was not yet dead and would suddenly attack him.
After walking about fifty meters forward, Chen Nan saw a red gate in front of him.
At this moment, the door is closed.
Chen Nan walked to the door, hesitated for a while, and then slowly pushed it open.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
The moment the door opened, Chen Nan was so scared that he took a few steps back.
Inside the door was a large hall, and the scene inside the hall surprised him greatly.
Because there were two rows of mummies standing on both sides of the hall, four on the left and one more on the right, with five standing. And in front of the main seat in the hall, there was actually a red woman standing!
What really surprised Chen Nan was the woman in red!
Because there were nine flying swords stuck all over her body, and every sword pierced through her body.
But despite this, she was different from those mummies. Her skin was tender and her face was pretty. She looked like a living girl. Even the blood on those flying swords had not dried yet, as if it had just flowed out.
If her eyes had not been closed and there was no sign of life on her body, Chen Nan would even think that the woman was still alive!
"Could it be... that she was also from thousands of years ago?"
Chen Nan himself was shocked by this thought. If a person had been dead for thousands of years, or even longer, and his body was still intact, then how terrifying must his cultivation have been when he was alive?
She was hit by nine flying swords, each of which pierced her body, but even though she was dead, her body still stood still. What a stubborn and strong person she was!
Chen Nan walked towards the woman in red step by step.
He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he wanted to check carefully to see if the woman in red still had any breath of life. Otherwise, how could a person who had been dead for thousands of years still have her body intact until now!
Coming close to the woman in red, Chen Nan slowly stretched out his hand and placed his fingers on her forehead.
Chen Nan calmed down and used his mental power to sense the other party's life breath, but he found that the woman in red was really dead and there was no sign of life at all.
However, just when he was about to stop——
"boom!"
Chen Nan only felt a loud noise in his head, and a sharp pain came from the sea of consciousness, and he quickly retracted his hand.
"how so?"
Chen Nan took a few steps back in shock.
He knew that he had just been attacked mentally, but the woman in red in front of him was obviously dead and should not be able to attack him. Could there be someone else here?
Chen Nan turned around hurriedly, glanced inside the hall, and his face changed drastically in an instant.
Among the five mummies standing on the right, the one in the front has disappeared, and now there are only four left!
