Chapter 986 Mud Monument

There was actually nothing in the palace except for the mottled stone chair. Everything else had weathered and turned into a pile of yellow earth.

After scanning with his spiritual sense, Shao Haoyue said, "There is a secret passage underneath. Hey, it looks like a tomb."

She came to the stone chair, raised her hand and pushed it gently. With the rustling of dust, the stone chair moved away, revealing a hole about half a meter wide.

She immediately cast a forbidden formation to prevent air from entering and causing the things inside to rot.

Entering the cave, there is a tunnel paved with gray stone slabs. The mud and sand that have fallen from the ceiling have made the stone slabs covered with dust of varying thicknesses.

After walking a short distance, the tunnel suddenly became wider, there was much less mud and sand on the ground, and murals appeared on the walls.

The content is a very common mural of barbaric humans wearing animal skins on their upper body, depicting life scenes such as gathering, hunting, and being priests.

There was only one very strange thing: these humans were all extremely deformed. Some had disgusting tumors on their faces and bodies, some had eyes that were almost squeezed together, or were almost cracked to their temples; there were also many who were missing arms and legs, noses, and eyes.

The animals they chased and hunted were also deformed, and even the plants they collected were very different from normal plants, mostly dark in color.

Shao Haoyue was puzzled: "How could the environment deteriorate to this extent during the barbaric period of human society?"

In this situation, it is obvious that their living environment is extremely harsh, and a large amount of toxins have accumulated in the bodies of animals and plants. The humans who feed on these have also accumulated toxins from generation to generation, causing their bodies to become deformed.

Shao Haoyao shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.

Walking forward for a while, the murals begin to tell a continuous story.

The leader of the tribe led her subjects in a grand sacrifice to pray to the gods for protection.

The last mural shows the chief being pregnant and giving birth to a child without any deformities.

Shao Haoyue frowned, this was not rational.

When a large amount of toxins have accumulated in the bodies of both parents, it will be very difficult to give birth to a child without any deformities even if the environment improves completely.

"Could it be that the gods have really bestowed a gift?" She looked at Shao Haoyao with a little doubt, "Will the immortals of the prehistoric times directly help the creatures of the mortal world?"

"I don't know. It's not recorded in our Phoenix Clan's records."

In fact, as soon as he said this, Shao Haoyue realized that his question was a bit stupid, and this question obviously had no answer.

In the ancient times, there were almost no restrictions on the immortals' interference in the affairs of the mortal world. Any immortal with a little cultivation could do this, and no one could know the actions of all the immortals.

"There's a clay tablet there."

As he spoke, Shao Haoyao walked forward and waved his sleeves to brush away the dust on the surface.

Shao Haoyue looked over and found that it was more like a mud tablet than a mud tablet. It was very tall, two or three times the size of an ordinary stone tablet.

The clay stele contains a textual record of the contents of the murals. After the grand sacrifice, the chief had a dream. In the dream, a god told him that he had heard their prayers and would send a savior to save them.

Not long after that, the leader became pregnant and gave birth to the only baby without any deformities at that time.

Everyone thought that the baby was the savior that the gods had promised. And indeed, after the baby was born, the tribe's situation improved significantly.

First of all, the leader and the servant who was responsible for taking care of him were no longer violent and irritable, and their health was much better.

The degree of deformity of children born after that baby decreased significantly, and the later the birth, the less deformity there was in the children.

The good times did not last long. People soon discovered that the savior prince was becoming weak, and they tried every possible means but failed to delay his death even a little bit.

At the age of seven, the savior prince died. Soon after, people's emotions gradually became violent again, and the degree of deformity of newborns became worse.

The people fell into fear and, under the leadership of their leader, once again held a sacrifice and prayed to the gods.

"It's gone?"

Shao Haoyue dug up the soil underneath without giving up, and found that the mud stele had indeed reached the bottom, with a blank space underneath.

She was extremely curious. No matter whether it was just a story or a real thing, she really wanted to know what happened next!

  "This tablet is full of records, and there may be other tablets." Shao Haoyao comforted softly.

Shao Haoyue nodded, and spread his spiritual sense to search the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, her expression froze and she pushed Shao Haoyao away violently. At the same time, Huan Shi Ling flew out from her wrist.

At the moment Shao Haoyao was pushed away, a bright red, crystal-clear blood line suddenly appeared where she had been standing before.

The blood line seemed to have life. After missing the attack, it immediately changed direction and shot towards Shao Hao Yue who was nearest.

The thin orange gauze spread out, blocking the flying blood line.

Spots of crimson light surged, burning crystal red.

sizzle...

After a violent sizzling sound, terrifying power exploded from the confrontation between the orange yarn and the blood line.

  Rumble!

The orange yarn and the blood line were pushed away by the aftermath of the explosion, and their owners were pushed back as well.

The ruined stone palace was crushed to pieces, and the raised dust was annihilated by the aftermath of the battle.

Soon, the wind stopped and the sky cleared, and a beautiful girl in white clothes and skirt appeared in the air.

The resurrected Demon Emperor, Jiang Yurou.

Shao Haoyue took a step forward, stood in front of Shao Haoyao, and asked solemnly: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yurou glanced at Shao Haoyao behind her, a hint of pity flashed across her eyes, and then she turned her gaze to Shao Haoyue, muttering thoughtfully: "So their target is you."

"them?"

Before Shao Haoyue could react, several blood lines flew out from around Jiang Yurou, entangled the mud tablet, and then she disappeared together with the mud tablet.

The moment Jiang Yurou moved, Shao Haoyue urged Huanshi Ling to attack her, but unexpectedly, her target was the ordinary mud monument.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

As soon as the battle was over, Shao Haoyao asked worriedly, Jiang Yurou had severely injured Hou Yu of the Ancient Demon Realm, and Seventeen's cultivation was a whole realm lower than Hou Yu.

Shao Haoyue shook her head slightly, and used her spiritual sense to check the surroundings to confirm that Jiang Yurou had really left. She had a lot of question marks in her mind.

Who are they?

  The purpose of Jiang Yurou coming here is that mud monument?

Wait, the giant stone palace was destroyed in the aftermath of their battle, so why is the mud monument okay?

Considering Jiang Yurou's purpose, it was obvious that the mud monument was not as ordinary as it seemed.

The problem is, she didn't see anything special about it!

"Is there anything strange about that clay monument?"

After making sure that she was fine, Shao Haoyao also quickly noticed something was wrong.

Just now, she also didn't see anything special about the clay monument.

After thinking for a while, Shao Haoyue gave his own guess: "The material is definitely ordinary soil. The reason why it was not destroyed may be that Jiang Yurou protected it.

As for why she took the clay tablet..."

She turned her eyes and fell on the scattered space origin outside this world fragment. "If the mud tablet itself is not special, then the special thing may be the environment. This is a world fragment of the ancestral land. The mud tablet may contain some kind of world will."

The giant stone palace was shattered, and there was nothing worth exploring here. After waiting for a while, he found that the void energy accumulated outside had almost dissipated. Shao Haoyue collected this piece of world fragment and continued on his way.

When passing by a relatively stable folding space, they found several corpses that had been drained of blood, and found the emblem of the Song family among their belongings.

Only then did they understand who Jiang Yurou had just referred to as "they".
