Chapter 2813: Chapter 2814: This Is No Ordinary Place
A group of people followed Jiang Zhengnan’s gaze and looked forward.
They discovered a pile of rocks ahead, about four or five ters high.
The largest boulder was comparable to the ones inside the tunnel.
Everyone’s speed slowed once more, and it took them a good ten minutes to reach the entrance of the ruins.
When they arrived, they discovered a giant black snake coiled at the mouth of the cave,
At least twenty ters long, with white fangs at the corners of its mouth, sporadically flicking its tongue, it appeared to have made the entrance its ho.
“That’s sothing…” Zhang Chaoyue quipped.
“Everyone, take a few steps back. It’s such a massive creature, if we don’t kill it, none of us can get inside.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi extended his hand, “Let borrow your daggers.”
The group handed over their tactical knives.
Lin Yi first took his scalpel and threw it at the Black Snake, striking it accurately in the head!
In an instant, the Black Snake opened its bloody mouth, its body thrashing on the ground, flattening a large area of surrounding bushes.
However, its tenacious life force didn’t imdiately rob it of its fighting spirit, and upon spotting Lin Yi, it charged towards them!
Lin Yi remained unfazed, taking the other daggers and throwing them at the Black Snake again!
Using the technique of striking at the snake’s vital spot, each subsequent throw struck precisely at the sa location.
After a series of actions, the Black Snake’s mobility was greatly reduced and finally lay on the ground, completely dead.
“It’s quite a pity,” Lin Yi remarked.
“Such a big snake, if we could take it back, it could at least make twenty snake-skin bags,” Zhang Chaoyue laughed heartily.
“It’s a poisonous snake; if you make bags from it, there will be poisonous residue. Be mindful,” Lin Yi said.
“Haha…”
Everyone laughed heartily, then adjusted themselves and walked into the entrance of the ruins.
Once inside, it was pitch dark.
Everyone switched on their overhead spotlights, and instantly felt a sense of vastness.
This place was bigger than imagined, with walls made of giant stones that were exceptionally smooth.
The passageway was very spacious, with a width of seven or eight ters on each side.
Up to now, Lin Yi felt that this couldn’t have been built with human technology.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of sothing, and gazed deeply outside.
“Lin Bro, did you discover sothing?” Luo Qi, standing beside Lin Yi, asked.
“No, just found these things very interesting.”
“Oh, oh.”
The others didn’t inquire further and continued walking inside.
Because the Yanlong Team had co here once before, they were quite familiar with the route.
As they ventured deeper, murals appeared on the walls.
Upon careful examination, they seed to depict scenes of sacrificial offerings recorded by the natives here.
Lin Yi had felt such impressions earlier.
If the technology of Tilia Island had truly reached its zenith, why would they record their desired cherished items in such a manner?
In Lin Yi’s view, this place seed like a fusion of advanced and backward elents.
The clash of two disparate cultures here ultimately resulted in an indelible sense of incongruity.
As they journeyed deeper, a large vacant area appeared ahead, roughly the size of a basketball court.
Scattered with boulders, tattered cloth-like things, and irregularly shaped wood boards were strewn chaotically across the ground.
Upon arriving here, the first impression was one of decay.
To Lin Yi, it was like uncovering a long-buried past.
“So this is the so-called ruins,” Jiang Zhengnan said. “Is everyone a bit disappointed?”
“I thought there would be hidden chanisms and secret passages here, but upon viewing, it seems sowhat crude,” Xiao Bing remarked.
“The ancient texts you seized earlier were discovered here and are the only finds to date,” Jiang Zhengnan said.
“Hence, we speculate that long ago, there might have been other things here, but due to so reason, they were ultimately destroyed, leaving only this ancient text.”
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Jiang Zhengnan’s statent.
“Everyone take a good look. If there’s nothing further that can be used, we’ll need to abandon this place in the future,” Jiang Zhengnan said.
“I suspect there are similar places on the island, and we can’t waste all our ti here.”
“Understood.”
Everyone started moving, but Lin Yi remained silent throughout.
He had already begun exploring.
Standing at the edge of the giant stone wall, gazing at the five or six-ter-high wall, Lin Yi felt an illusion as if the wheels of history were rolling by in front of him.
Soon, Lin Yi focused his attention on the murals on the wall.
The engravings here were wholly different from those in the passage.
What appeared on the murals were not humans, but one strange creature after another.
Upon careful scrutiny, one could even feel a worldview inversion, sending chills down the spine.
But soon, Lin Yi noticed sothing amiss.
The engravings on the wall seed very similar to the statues inside the Bronze Tomb!
On seeing this, Lin Yi’s heartbeat inevitably quickened, and he increased his pace to look around other places.
Finally discovering around four or five bizarre creatures engraved, quite similar to those in the Bronze Tomb.
“You’ve all seen the photos of the Bronze Tomb, right? Did you notice that the things engraved on the wall have so similarities to those?”
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the group finally reacted, standing beside the walls, examining them for a long ti.
“I rember this spider; it’s quite similar to the ones in the Bronze Tomb,” Zhang Chaoyue said.
“Could it be that Zhang Daoling once ca here?”
“It’s possible, but not certain; perhaps similar murals exist in other places too.”
The group nodded, agreeing with Lin Yi’s viewpoint.
At this mont, Jiang Zhengnan ca over and stood beside Lin Yi.
“What do you think?”
“This place isn’t simple.”
“Not simple?”
Jiang Zhengnan beca interested, urging Lin Yi to elaborate.
“Honestly, I’m not entirely sure, just feel sothing’s off, let take a closer look,” Lin Yi said. “For now, don’t give up on this place.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
Jiang Zhengnan brought Lin Yi here expressly to hear his opinion.
Now, hearing such words from him confird his assumptions!
As for what to do next, it was up to him to plan.
Lin Yi then directed his attention towards the items in the great hall, beginning his cautious investigation.
Squatting beside a piece of torn cloth, he gently touched it, turning it into dust, revealing no research value.
Similarly, those rotting wooden sticks had no usable information.
But soon, Lin Yi’s gaze was drawn to another item.
An iron rod!
