Chapter 1014: Ruins Expedition Team (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A Hanging Fisher-level ruin was on a completely different level from a Dangling Fisher-level ruin.
In fact, the Heavenly Desolate City that Han Fei and the others went to should have been equivalent to a Hanging Fisher-level ruin, but once they returned to the past, who knew what kind of ruins it was? Or perhaps it wasn’t a ruin at all, but an opportunity.
At this moment, Han Fei and the others arrived at a Hanging Fisher-level ruin. It was probably a small human settlement.
Many ghosts haunted here, who were constantly roaring, but unfortunately, it was useless to Han Fei and the others.
After exploring the area, they found some traces left behind by humans.
For example, Li Luoluo had brought a pair of intact vases from somewhere. Han Fei was stunned. There’s porcelain here?
Of course, Han Fei asked, “Why are you carrying two jars?”
Li Luoluo said, “Don’t you think these are very exquisite? Look at this drawing, look at this carving, look at this body… Hey, don’t go!”
At that moment, Zhang Xuanyu came over with a rusted rod and shook his head. “This is just a trial secret realm. It doesn’t have any special value. Perhaps the people living in this place died in a sea demon attack.”
…
The third ruin was similar to the second ruin, but there were more ghosts here but they were relatively stronger. Furthermore, there were many boulders in this place. There were many tall, damaged buildings with different human faces.
Suddenly, Li Luoluo shouted again, “Come here, all of you.”
Everyone rushed over, only to see that Li Luoluo had dug out a skeleton with worms.
However, when everyone saw the skeleton, they were a little stunned.
Jiuyin Ling was surprised. “This person’s skeleton is so tall. He’s probably seven to eight meters tall.”
Le Renkuang said in surprise, “This shouldn’t be a human, right?”
Zhang Xuanyu curled his lips and said, “It’s definitely a human! Look, if this isn’t a human skeleton, what is it?”
Luo Xiaobai said, “Let’s keep looking.”
In just a moment, everyone dug out another two to three such corpses. Among them, the largest skeleton was about 15 meters tall.
Han Fei looked at the almost jade-like skeleton and said, “It should be a different human race, the giants.”
Everyone looked at Han Fei and thought, How do you know everything?
Han Fei immediately said leisurely, “First of all, we can confirm that these are human bones. Since they are human bones, we can be sure that they are human. This is a ruin from ancient times. I won’t be surprised if a dwarf race existed back then, much less a giant. Perhaps there are even palm-sized imps.”
Everyone rolled their eyes. Li Luoluo said disdainfully, “A palm-sized imp race? Wouldn’t they be wiped out easily?”
Han Fei said with a smile, “The sea creatures are getting bigger and bigger, but they didn’t see us humans being wiped out! Different species definitely have different characteristics. It’s boring to look at these bones. It’s best if you find something like stone carvings or books. That way, there will be archaeological value.”
Half an hour later…
Zhang Xuanyu suddenly said, “Come here. We found something.”
They followed Zhang Xuanyu to run more than 800 kilometers away. Han Fei was speechless. How far did this guy run?
It wasn’t until Zhang Xuanyu led Han Fei and the others to a cliff that he pointed at a large stone sculpture on the cliff and said, “There, they’re indeed giants.”
In the painting, a group of burly giants seemed to be building a city. Some giants moved mountains over, while others fished out giant trees from the sea.
Following that, the scene changed. It was a scene of giants eating. And in this painting, there was a strange scene. When the giants were eating, they would wors.h.i.+p a totem.
The totem was a female figure that Han Fei and the others were familiar with. It was the Sea G.o.d statue.
Zhang Xuanyu smiled and said, “It seems that in ancient times, people began to wors.h.i.+p the Sea G.o.d?”
Luo Xiaobai suddenly said, “Wait a minute. Someone has already wors.h.i.+ped the same Sea G.o.d like us in the Age of Doom. Then, how much time has pa.s.sed?”
Luo Xiaobai’s question stunned everyone. Who knew how long it had been?
Luo Xiaobai said, “Don’t forget that when we were reading the logbook just now, it had already been more than ten thousand years old. As for the Age of Doom, it has definitely been ten thousand years. Otherwise, there would definitely be a large number of records left regarding the Age of Doom. But in reality, there aren’t any.”
Han Fei swallowed and said, “This means that the Sea G.o.d we wors.h.i.+p has actually lived for a long time. He might not be dead yet.”
Le Renkuang hurriedly said, “Wait, will G.o.ds die?”
Han Fei rolled his eyes and said, “I’m just wondering if the so-called Sea G.o.d is a Sea Expansion king. If so, that king has lived for too long. If not, the realm above the king…”
Jiuyin Ling suddenly said, “Look at the third painting. It’s about war. There’s an especially tall giant.”
Everyone hurriedly turned their gazes to the third painting. The giant in the lead was fighting a huge octopus monster. He was more than twice the height of the other giants and was probably close to 40 meters.
In the giant’s hand was a huge ax.
Luo Xiaobai said, “It looks familiar.”
Han Fei said, “He’s a little like Yang Deyu. Do you still remember his will of War G.o.d? How similar is it to this giant?”
Han Fei was certain that the Yang family must have obtained a secret realm related to the giants and inherited something, such as bloodline.
And he was still thinking: Does the Cao family also have such an inheritance? After all, Cao Qiu has the bloodline of the War G.o.d. When it erupts, he doesn’t even look human.
Han Fei explained, “They experienced a battle with a sea demon. See that? There’s a clam girl with a big sh.e.l.l over there. However, I don’t see any shrimp soldiers or crab generals. They seem to be soft creatures fighting them.”
There were a total of six paintings.
In the fourth painting, the battle had clearly failed. In order to preserve their bloodline, this Giant had sacrificed a newborn baby.
In the fifth painting, the clouds in the sky parted as a pair of eyes appeared above the clouds.
This scene made Han Fei’s pupils contract. The fish skin map Ren Tianfei left him had a pair of similar eyes.
Li Luoluo couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver. “Eh~ What strange eyes.”
The sixth painting was at the entrance of a hall. Where was this hall? Han Fei already had an idea: the Heavenly Palace.
Luo Xiaobai and the others exchanged looks but didn’t say anything.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Let’s go to the next ruin.”
…
Unfortunately, the third ruin was similar to a village battlefield with many ghosts. However, the ghosts here were normal. There were no giants, stone carvings, or books.
The exploration of the Dangling Fisher-level ruins was over.
The Hanging Fisher-level ruins had also been explored.
There were six ruins of Hidden Fishers.
Without any surprise, the danger here would be even greater. However, there were six people here, so they weren’t fl.u.s.tered at all.
At the same time.
In a particular family.
Someone reported, “Han Fei and the others should be clearing the secret realms, but they were extremely slow today. It took the six of them a day to clear four secret realms. They should be investigating the ruins.”
“Yes! A ruin at the level of a Hidden Fisher shouldn’t be difficult for them. They probably won’t be able to explore explorer-level secret realms. Don’t worry about it for now.”
Elsewhere.
Someone had a similar response. “Let’s not worry about it for now. The secret realms left behind by the Thug Academy are just for testing their disciples. We’ll talk about it when they finish exploring all the ruins and enter the Star River to find new ruins.”
Someone else replied, “There’s no rush. Let’s wait for a while. When the time comes, we’ll send someone to see if we can exchange for a ruin-type secret realm from them.”
…
In the ruins of the level of Hidden Fishers, Han Fei ignored the three battlefield-like drawings and chose three architectural ruins.
At this moment, Han Fei and the others were standing in a place that looked like a pyramid. However, Han Fei knew that it wasn’t. The altar only had five floors, and there were exactly 45 steps.
At the top was a room.
Han Fei tried to perceive, only to find that the entire altar had blocked perception.
Han Fei grinned. “Let me do it.”
Luo Xiaobai reached out and bound Han Fei with vines. “Be careful.”
What Han Fei didn’t want to climb the most was strange places like altars. These places always hid mysteries. Who knew if they would make him enter illusions, memories, or the past?
Jiuyin Ling said, “Let… me go? I have the seal law.”
Han Fei shook his head. “No. What do you want to seal? There isn’t anyone you can seal.”
With that, Han Fei stepped onto the first step.
After stepping on the steps, Han Fei looked back and found that everyone was looking at him.
“Eh! It’s very real. It looks like I was overthinking things.”
Seeing that there was no problem, Han Fei quickly climbed up the steps to the top.
At this moment, he saw a small one-room tomb. Yes, there wasn’t even a coffin. There were only three walls and a ceiling. Therefore, the tomb was completely exposed to Han Fei.
The walls were colorful and seemed to be totem-like. On the three walls, there was a small square pit that was empty.
Logically speaking, if there was nothing inside, this small hole shouldn’t have been dug out. The thing in it had probably been taken away by a senior from the Thug Academy.
On the ground was a corpse. Han Fei’s eyelids twitched when he saw the corpse. It was the kind of corpse that had appeared in the underground city and the Undersea Chimney…
Around the corpse were four small humanoid statues that were prostrating as though they were praying.
What were they praying for? Han Fei looked up and saw a pair of terrifying eyes painted on the ceiling.
“Holy sh*t, it’s those eyes again?”
