Chapter 1329: Going Back to the Beginning
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Chao did not expect the Turan civilization’s encounter to be the same as that of Dragon City.
Although he had repeatedly told himself that it was just a coincidence, Picturesque Orchid Lake and Monster Mountain Range were close to each other. When encountering natural enemies or environmental changes, a large number of birds and beasts would naturally cross the mountain range. After migrating from Monster Mountain Range to Picturesque Orchid Lake, they would be enveloped and eroded by the liquid metal-like substance hidden there before gradually evolving into totem beasts.
However, his heart was still heavy.
Just as the Wolf King had said, the totem beasts had shaped the current Tulan people.
The Monster War that happened in Tulanze had transformed the Tulan people from a high-tech civilization that was capable of smelting super alloys, constructing glorious cities, and shuttling through the sea of stars into a brave, ruthless, and ignorant.., a ‘high-level Beastman’that ate raw meat and drank blood.
Then, what would the people of Dragon City in a thousand years be like after the Monster War that took place in Dragon City?
Meng Chao took a deep breath.
His eyes became sharp and urgent.
“Don’t waste time here.”
He said in a deep voice, “Based on your intuition, what should we do next and what should we look for?”
“Of course, we should look for the burial places of the legendary heroes, such as the Fist and the stomach-less king,”the Wolf King said
“The burial places of the legendary heroes are not too far away from each other,”the Wolf King said. “All the skeletons here are the burial items of the legendary heroes.
“Naturally, there are a lot of burial items in the burial places of the legendary heroes, including the weapons that he used when he was alive, the secret medicines that he often consumed, the fragments of his totem armor, and even the legacy items that contain powerful willpower and battle experience.
“Compared to the fierce beast-patterned bones that are extremely difficult to control, the legacy items of a legendary hero are more likely to be digested and absorbed by us.
“More importantly, in the Tulan burial custom, the victims who are qualified to be buried in the depths of the temple of the sacred mountain will partic.i.p.ate in the feast set up by the ancestral spirit after they die. The stronger the victim is, the more glorious the battle record will be, and his corpse will be qualified to sit closer to the ancestral spirit.
“In other words, as long as we find the burial place of the fist or the stomach-less king, we will only be one step away from the heritage of the ancestral spirits
“Understood.”
Meng Chao nodded, but he frowned slightly. “However, the s.p.a.ce where the enormous bones and fossils are displayed seems to be much larger than we imagined.
“We have been moving in the same direction. We have circled ten times, but we still haven’t touched the wall. There are only forks and forks in the Forest of bones everywhere. There is no exit at all.
“I feel that it’s a little strange.
“Logically speaking, the sacred mountain temple itself should be the ‘huge fireball that fell from the sky and burned fiercely’recorded in the Sacred Mountain Temple. There shouldn’t be such a huge s.p.a.ce inside it, and it shouldn’t be used to make use of s.p.a.ce in such a wasteful way.”
Speaking up to this point, Meng Chao suddenly stood still.
Looking at the huge totem beast skull in front of him and being stared at by the dark eye sockets on the skull, Meng Chao’s forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and his heart suddenly groaned.
The Wolf King also sucked in a breath of cold air beside him, and muttered in disbelief, “This is impossible!”
What appeared in front of the two of them was the huge skull that they had discovered when they had just stepped into the “Fossil Museum.”.
The three horns that soared into the sky were surrounded by mysterious and complicated patterns.
In the depths of the empty eye sockets that had lost their eyeb.a.l.l.s, it was as if the flames of war from thousands of years ago were still burning.
Even though it had been dead for a long time, one could still hear the roars of unwillingness, anger, and bloodthirst from the depths of the skull even if one put one’s ear slightly closer to the skull.
All of its features indicated that it was the unique and genuine “Triangle of death”!
Beside the triangle of death, the giant spine of the abyssal demonic worm that was like a regional train was also quietly dormant, meandering all the way to the depths of the darkness, there was no sign of its brutal, hungry, and devouring appearance before it was born.
The two of them circled around ten times and returned to the starting point.
But this was impossible.
Because they were exploring outside in a clockwise spiral. Every time they walked around, the radius would expand by three to five meters. In this way, they ensured that their footprints could cover every corner of this s.p.a.ce evenly, and they would not miss any clues.
After ten rounds, their Exploration Range had reached at least a hundred meters away. It was impossible for them to return to their original spot.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King looked at each other.
In the Forest of bones that faintly echoed with the roars of fierce beasts and countless pairs of dark eye sockets that were surrounded by fierce flames, the two of them could feel a bone-piercing chill that came from the depths of their hearts.
“Don’t go in circles, go straight!”
The two of them said in unison.
They used the two eye sockets of the great triangle of death as the central axis.
They walked straight ahead.
Every three to five steps, they would stop and observe the huge fossilized bones around them. They would modify their path to ensure that their path was absolutely accurate and stable.
Even if there were huge fossilized bones in front of them, they would never take a detour. Instead, they would go straight through the gaps between the bones or climb over the huge fossilized bones.
However, even if they did not look back, after walking for hundreds of steps, they still returned to their original spot and saw the skull of the great triangle of death.
What was even stranger was that they had just set off from the eye sockets of the Great Triangle of death.
Now, they were still being deeply stared at by those dark eye sockets.
They did not see the back of the head of the Great Triangle of death.
In other words, they were not going in a big circle.
They were going back the same way they came.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King gritted their teeth at the same time.
Both of them realized the seriousness of the problem.
If it was an ordinary person, they might still be affected by the terrain and even the magnetic field, and get lost in the Forest of bones.
However, their direction recognition ability, spatial mapping ability, and muscle control ability were all outstanding existences in their respective races.
If they had the intention to run in a straight line in a certain direction, even if they accelerated to the maximum speed, the deviation from the predetermined trajectory would not exceed half a degree.
How could they make such a low-level mistake as ‘going back the way they came’?
Then, the two of them tried to move forward along the spine of the abyss demon insect.
However, the spine of the abyss demon worm had a limit no matter how long it was.
When the spine finally reached its end, they lost the direction to move forward. They took a few more steps forward, and soon, they saw the front of the ‘h.e.l.l Train’again.
They also tried to circulate the magnetic levitation force and break through the air. At least, they could see the appearance of the dome clearly.
However, when they slowly floated to a height of twenty to thirty meters, they suddenly felt that the world was spinning. Their heads were heavy, and their feet were light. They were like two ants trapped in a hot pot, but the hot pot had been turned upside down.
They went from floating up to slowly descending, and then landed between the bones and fossils of the Grand Triangle of death and the Abyss demonic insects.
The pathway that led them to the “Fossil Museum”had disappeared.
No matter how many bone powder they spilled, how many colorful fireworks they lit up in the air, and how large the area was, it did not matter.
Their line of sight pierced through the oddly-shaped giant skeleton fossil, and what they saw was still the creeping darkness.
The bone powder they picked up from the skeleton pyramid was quickly exhausted.
They didn’t have much light left, so they had to use it at a more critical moment.
“It seems that we have fallen into a very special spatial maze.”
Meng Chao rushed left and right, but he was still at his wit’s end.
He simply sat down at the origin, holding his head in his hands, and quietly thought between the darkness and the dim light.
In the depths of the temple of the sacred mountain, there were all kinds of treacherous traps and fatal trials, which were all expected.
And the fact that the “Hu Lang”ka.n.u.s in his previous life could successfully pa.s.s the test and obtain the inheritance of the sacred mountain meant that this spatial maze was definitely not unsolvable.
In the end, it was just a phenomenon that often occurred in the Archean ruins of Dragon City. At most, the scale was a little larger, and the structure was a little more complicated.
In the face of the “Ghost wall”phenomenon, the most taboo thing was to panic and turn around like a headless fly, exhausting all of his precious physical energy.
Rules. Any spatial maze had rules.
If it was a completely chaotic s.p.a.ce swirl, it would have absorbed all the materials in the surroundings and torn them into pieces long ago. It would not be like the giant skeletons and fossils that were still standing there steadily.
The purpose of the ancient Tulan people building the ‘Fossil Museum’was obviously not to trap all the latecomers, but to conduct a special test for them.
As long as it was a test.
There must be a standard answer.
Meng Chao closed his eyes and recalled everything he had just seen.. He began to construct a model of the entire spatial maze in his mind.
