Chapter 34 The Mysterious Old Man
Chen Jie had just entered the cave.

The giant bat followed closely behind, and its huge rat-like head squeezed madly into the cave entrance.

"Squeak!"

Seeing that the prey was about to escape, the bat opened its mouth wide and screamed wildly.

Take advantage of the moment when the bat is stuck.

Chen Jie swung the Axe of Creation.

"Creation of heaven and earth!"

Chen Jie did not hold back any strength as he aimed at the bat's head at the entrance of the cave and chopped it down hard.

"Pfft!"

The Axe of Creation left a deep scar on the bat's head, with half of the axe head sunk into it.

"squeak--!"

The giant bat screamed in pain and quickly retracted its head.

However, even with blood on its head, the giant bat's eyes were still fixed on the cave entrance.

He won't leave any time soon.

Chen Jie took back the Axe of Creation and didn't pay much attention to the bat.

Explore deeper into the cave.

There is a constant flow of wind blowing out of this cave.

This means that the inside of this cave is connected.

Maybe there is an exit inside.

With his current strength, he can fight the bat, but it is not cost-effective to spend a lot of energy on this bat.

After taking just two steps, Chen Jie discovered that both sides of the cave were filled with blue glowing flowers.

Chen Jie tried to use the [Eye of True Vision] to check.

The information about these flowers was quickly obtained.

[Sea Blue Flower]: It is a type of orchid that has been distorted. After being used by the awakened, it can greatly improve their physical fitness. At the same time, it is very helpful in improving their own realm.

This sea blue flower has such a good effect!

Chen Jie was overjoyed.

This sea blue flower is not only powerful, but also distributed in large numbers in this cave.

Both sides of the entire cave were filled with these sea blue flowers.

Chen Jie had an idea and took out a huge sack and a shovel.

He began to dig frantically at the sea blue flowers on both sides of the cave.

Half an hour passed.

The cave, which originally looked like a sea of ​​flowers, was completely dug out by Chen Jie.

Only a few sparse flowers are left.

"worn out!"

Chen Jie wiped his sweat.

However, although I was tired, I felt extremely happy.

There aren't many things like picking up treasures with a sack.

"Intruder, you've gone too far!"

An extremely dull sound came from deep within the cave, and that sound was extremely penetrating.

"who are you?"

Chen Jie replied calmly.

What intruder?

This space is completely a wilderness.

When will this cave in the wilderness be considered to have an owner?

Chen Jie summoned two streams of primordial pure and turbid air, which instantly lit up the entire space, and began to search for the location of the sound.

There is a bat monster guarding the cave entrance now, so we can't get out.

We can only explore inside.

After walking for less than three minutes, the darkness of the cave in front of us began to slowly decrease.

Slowly, the front began to become bright.

Chen Jie took two more steps forward and came to an even larger cave.

There are all kinds of crystals inside, which drilled out from the ground.

These crystals are all emitting light.

Light up the entire cave.

On the ground here, there is a river forming a circle, surrounding a huge crystal column.

There are four iron chains on this column.

Tied to the iron chain was a skinny old man, whose hair had turned gray and whose ribs were clearly visible.

"Were you the one who was talking just now?"

Chen Jie looked at the old man in front of him and asked.

"Young man, you are very courageous to have found this location!"

The old man's mouth didn't move, and his throat didn't react at all.

The sound seemed to come out of nowhere.

"How did you get tied up here?"

Chen Jie was very curious about why the old man was tied up in this place.

It has only been two or three days since the apocalypse broke out.

It was very strange that there was already a person tied up in this cave.

Moreover, it seems that this old man has been tied up for quite a long time.

He is still full of mysteries.

"Hahaha, I don't know why I'm tied up here... It's been thousands of years. What dynasty is it now?"

The old man's body remained motionless.

Chen Jie looked at the clothes he was wearing and realized he didn't look like someone from this era.

Considering the questions the other party asked, Chen Jie felt that this old man definitely did not belong to this era.

"Dragon Country 2050!"

Chen Jie answered the other party's question directly.

"Dragon Country? What era is this? Have I been trapped in this place for so long?"

The old man's voice was full of vicissitudes and regret.

"You look a lot like me. What era are you from? You've been trapped in this place for so long. Are you from the Ming Dynasty?"

Based on the time the old man was trapped, Chen Jie roughly guessed the era he was in.

But even in this day and age, being trapped in this place is magical.

Could it be that the end of the world had occurred before?

But why is it not recorded in history books?

This is very strange.

This was also Chen Jie’s first time to come to the secret realm. In his previous life, he had never heard of the existence of the previous generation.

"Ming Dynasty...Ming..."

The old man kept repeating Ming Chao's name, and his voice was extremely miserable, as if he was savoring a cup of very bitter tea.

There must be some big secret hidden in him.

"Young man, help me, help me!"

Suddenly, the old man started to go crazy, and his body, which was like a dead tree, began to move.

The chains that bound him jingled as he shook them.

"Help? Help for what?"

Chen Jie was also confused by this old man.

"The aura on you feels similar to mine. If nothing unexpected happens, you and I should be from the same lineage!"

"Needless to say, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, descendants of Yan and Huang, come here and accept my gift. Time is running out. The monster refined by Sang Guo should be back soon!"

The dry face stretched towards Chen Jie.

The eyes and lips were gone, making the face look horrifying.

"If you say go, I will go?"

Chen Jie took out the Axe of Creation and took precautions against the old man in front of him.

Chen Jie has seen many such plots where someone gives you a treasure and then attacks you.

"Young man, look at this!"

The old man knew that Chen Jie was wary of him, so he released a ball of light from his chest.

There is a box inside the light ball.

This box looks very antique and you can tell at a glance that it is an old item.

"I can't hold on for much longer. If I can leave this thing to someone of my origin, I will have completed the mission my ancestor gave me."

"Young man, remember, human mutation is only a stage... a... stage."

Before the old man could finish his words, his head tilted and he didn't respond anymore.

"Hoohoho!!!"

As soon as the old man fell down, a terrifying roar came from outside the cave.
