Chapter 166: Chapter 167: Conquering Underground Ruins F Zone! Obtain Mysterious Rewards!

Lin Yue gazed at the wall before him, his expression somber.

This stone wall, like a vast canvas, depicted a bizarre and ancient ritual.

The leftmost side of the wall seemed to be the beginning of the entire painting, and although the carving appeared crude, Lin Yue could not help but think of a creature he was very familiar with, given its enormous wings, bird-like head, and knife-like large mouth.

"Monster Winged Dragon..."

He immediately thought of the familiar adversary from the Secret Realm.

He also recalled the lifelike sculptures in the nearby altar.

He was almost certain that the creature was indeed the Monster Winged Dragon.

Above the Monster Winged Dragon’s head were two spheres, surrounded by several small crosses or dots. Lin Yue immediately understood; this referred to the two moons and the nearby stars.

Continuing to the right, the Monster Winged Dragon spread its wings, flying towards the moon on the left, then returned to land on the ground.

An egg appeared beneath the Monster Winged Dragon, and in the next moment, the egg cracked open, giving birth to a Lizardman!

Lin Yue saw the Lizardman with a large bead adorning its head, which was identical in shape to the moon on the right, both missing a small piece on the right side.

The Lizardman prostrated itself, worshiping the Monster Winged Dragon, seemingly in supplication.

Looking further, the number of Lizardmen grew considerably, they began crafting weapons and hunting, eventually offering their prey to the Monster Winged Dragon, and finally danced around it.

At the end of the entire painting, swarms of Monster Winged Dragons descended from the sky as the Lizardmen offered even more prey.

But it seemed the illustration did not complete the story.

Lin Yue searched around, finding no similar carvings on the other walls.

However.

There was a significant problem with this carved image.

One might even say it exceeded his understanding.

Contained within was too much information, brimming with mystery.

Whether it was why the Monster Winged Dragon flew to the moon on the left, then laid an egg transforming into a Lizardman, or the connection between the bead on the first Lizardman’s head and the moon on the right, left Lin Yue puzzled.

What perplexed Lin Yue most was the Lizardmen’s prey depicted.

The prey, captured from underground by the Lizardmen, resembled "humans" in shape.

But unlike Earth humans, these "humans" had large ears atop their heads!

Large ears atop the head.

This feature could not be something possessed by Earth humans.

More like beasts, akin to wolves or foxes, creatures like cats with such ears.

Yet, the painting displayed it truly.

He saw this, took a deep breath.

From underground... beast-people captured from underground? Then, are these Underground Ruins belonging to beast-people? Were Lizardmen originally surface-dwellers? The containers didn’t hold Earth humans who arrived later, but those beast-people? Who carved this? Lizardmen, or beast-people?

Questions ebbed and flowed in Lin Yue’s mind, but he had no answers.

He shook his head, summoned the system, and opened the camera feature.

This new feature, updated by the system, could capture incredibly clear photos, seemingly fixed by the survivor’s vision automatically, with such high resolution, even tiny details were vividly displayed.

After photographing the entire wall, Lin Yue advanced again, gently stroking its textures.

These carvings clearly had marks of considerable age, definitely not recent creations.

Surveying the surroundings, apart from this wall, the other three lacked any carved imagery.

"Is this all? Or could there be..."

The carved scene on the wall was obviously unfinished, perhaps there might be more elsewhere?

Lin Yue felt this was a survival game but carried investigative elements.

"Gawu!" Bai suddenly growled, Lin Yue thought there was a sudden attack but saw Bai and Xiao Meng standing at the center of the room.

He noticed the floor near Bai’s feet had a circular smooth design.

Approaching, Lin Yue saw at a distance of five meters another circle of the same size, although half-hidden beneath a stone, making it difficult to spot unless closely examined.

What could this be?

Lin Yue looked at Bai, who tapped the ground with its foot, and he soon heard a hollow sound.

Is there something underneath?

He glanced once more at the circular platform, then pulled out an iron pick, smashed the stone, clearing the obstruction.

"Bai, stand on this circle with me, simultaneously!"

"Gawu!" Bai glanced downwards, understanding the owner’s intention.

Lin Yue once saw a similar mechanism in a movie; only when two people stood on a mechanism simultaneously would the path open.

"One, two, up!"

He and Bai simultaneously stood on the circular pattern, and suddenly, a sound of stone grinding echoed beneath their feet!

Dust rose as cracks like blade cuts appeared on the ground, and Lin Yue quickly spotted a black descent opening between the two circular designs!

Goodness, has this turned into a puzzle game?

Lin Yue mentally grumbled, but as he heard the final loud sound, the ground returned to calm.

Can we go down?

"Bai, is there danger inside?"

"Gawu." Bai shook its head, Xiao Meng mimicked and shook its head too.

Lin Yue, for precaution, placed stones at the spots he and Bai had just stood.

Taking out the flashlight, he proceeded to the foremost position, Xiao Meng hopped onto his shoulder.

The flashlight’s circular light beam illuminated the descending steps, and after some time, Lin Yue finally reached a level ground.

He looked up, finding even the flashlight couldn’t reach to the top, with surroundings vast and empty, it appeared he had entered a massive space.

"Gawu." Bai growled, then swiftly ran towards a direction, Lin Yue followed closely.

The flashlight’s light continually flickered, as Lin Yue gradually discerned the items before Bai.

"What? This is..."

It was a cluster of skeletons!

Lin Yue halted, surprised at what he was seeing.

However...

Human bones? Impossible, Earth humans have been here less than three weeks, why so many human bones?

Lin Yue picked up a bone, examined it closely, discovering its existence appeared ancient, the color was a dry yellow.

Could it be, they are... those beast-eared people from the carved illustration?

Lin Yue put down the bone, lost in thought.

However, at that moment.

In the empty space, the system suddenly produced a sound!

[Congratulations! You have unlocked all map areas in Underground Ruins F Zone!]

[Rewards will be issued, please check promptly!]

A beam of white light suddenly flashed in the spacious underground area, Lin Yue noticed a new item beside him.

"A treasure chest? Wait, this material... It’s not wood, iron, copper, silver, gold, what is it?"

The glowing treasure chest before him was far larger than any he had seen before!
