They ran like mad, taking shallow steps as they ran along the pitch-black cave walls. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, their speed finally slowed down.
Behind them, the roars of the Demonic Beast Glutton could no longer be heard, and the trembling that came from the cave entrance disappeared. It seemed that the two of them had really gotten rid of the danger this time.
But at this point, not only did Lin Yue's expression not relax, it became serious instead.
He looked at the surroundings of the cave and looked at the marks on the cave wall. The doubt in his heart became more and more strong.
"The traces of the artificially chopped axe on the mountain face have become even more obvious. Look over there, there seems to be a intentionally inserted shell on top of the cave."
Yu Ruyi also saw the shell on the wall that was petrified like a stone. Her brows twitched as she said, "Looks like this cave really does have people living here before."
The two of them became alert and continued to walk forward.
Several thousand zhang away, the number of shells on the wall began to increase. In addition, the shells were embedded into the mountain wall, unexpectedly forming a pattern. It seemed like they were purposely made into decorative patterns.
He continued deeper into the cave. On the walls of the cave, besides the seashells, pearl-like ores began to appear.
Green emeralds, sky-blue flamecloud stones, black obsidian stones like the night sky, and shiny yellow crystals.
These stones were embedded into the wall, forming the appearance of vast stars. The brilliance was quiet, bright, or dark. They flickered alternately, rendering the entire cave extremely beautiful.
Yu Ruyi was stunned, her eyes revealing a strong sense of love, her face full of infatuation, as though a little girl seeing a candy, couldn't help but caress the ore with her hand, praising it: "So beautiful!"
Lin Yue was also captivated by the scene in front of him. Standing inside the cave, it was as if he was standing in the starry sky of the firmament, surrounded by countless stars.
"I never thought that there would be such a wondrous scene in the depths of this mountain cave. This is truly a boundless universe. Right now, I'm even more interested in the people living here. I wonder if he's dead?"
After watching for a while, Lin Yue urged Yu Ruyi to continue walking forward.
As he continued forward, the entire cave suddenly became grand. The dome went from one zhang to two zhang, then from two zhang to three zhang.
Gradually, the entire space began to move backwards. The dome became taller and taller, and the cave walls on both sides became wider and wider.
Later on, the dome was over 500 feet high, and the walls of the cavern were over 800 feet wide!
Lin Yue and Yu Ruyi walked in the enormous space, like two small ants walking in the middle of a field of grass.
This place was simply too big!
It was so big that both of them felt their souls were unsettled and felt endless loneliness. It was as if once they left, their Sea of Bitterness would be boundless, as if they were 10,000 li away from the Milky Way.
Lin Yue's breathing gradually became rough, and Yu Ruyi was panting even more. This kind of soul unease caused the two of them to feel an inexplicable fear.
Just who could carve out such a majestic space?
What was that man doing hiding here?
What would be the scene in the depths of this cave?
The two of them could clearly feel that their souls were lonely, yet they did not want to speak. They only walked along this enormous space, instinctively wanting to walk to the end of it.
After an unknown amount of time, a light appeared in the darkness ahead.
The firefly like light quickly attracted their attention.
When the two saw the light, they couldn't help but speed up their pace. Gradually, another ray of light entered their field of vision. That row of firefly-like light hovered in the darkness, slightly swaying.
"Could it be another ore?" Yu Ruyi's face revealed a happy expression, she liked the feeling of standing deep in the starry sky.
"I don't think so. If it's an ore, why would it sway? Go over and see, then you'll know. "Lin Yue frowned, and quickly rushed forward.
At this point, the huge space had reached an unparalleled size. Whether it was height or width, both of them could not see anything.
Aside from the solid mountain path beneath their feet, it was as if they were truly in the endless heavens.
As they got closer, the fireflies began to shine brightly and reveal their true appearances.
Witnessing the glowing object with his own eyes, Yu Ruyi's fine cheeks instantly turned green, and her lips trembled, as she subconsciously took a step back.
Lin Yue was also overwhelmed with shock. He barely managed to stand still as he took in a deep breath.
Those things that emitted light were not fireflies or ores, as mentioned by Yu Ruyi. Instead, they were skulls hanging on a thread.
There were a total of five skulls that hung over the massive dome, hanging there for tens of thousands of years!
Deep in the darkness, in the mysterious ancient cave, there were actually five skulls hanging there. This kind of strange scene made even Lin Yue unable to figure it out.
However, they were all dead as dead as they could be, their flesh and blood had long dried up. After Lin Yue's initial shock, he had already calmed down.
He carefully examined the five heads and slowly discovered some problems.
These five skulls were all unique to humans. It seemed that they were human skulls.
However, the first head was smaller than the second. The first head was bigger than the second, and the second head was smaller than the third. The first head was bigger than the second head.
This pattern was not very obvious at first, but now that someone had purposely placed them together, they could clearly see the gap between them.
The five skulls were actually changing!
Lin Yue was extremely shocked. In his knowledge, the bones of normal human beings were similar, their structure should be similar.
But now, these five human skulls clearly showed that humans were not the same. To a certain extent, they were constantly changing!
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Lin Yue's gaze swept across them, and saw that not far away, there was a small stone house.
Lin Yue walked over to take a look and saw a stone table inside the stone house. Beside the window, there was a stone table and on the stone chair in front of the table, there was a skeleton.
The room had been filled with dust for who knows how many years. There were spiderwebs interweaving on the skeleton's body.
However, seeing the Skeleton Beast Skin sitting upright, Lin Yue couldn't help but be extremely curious and took the Beast Skin from the skeleton's hands.
He gently blew away the dust on the beast skin and then saw the countless ancient characters inscribed on it.
These words were written in a rather complicated manner, and were several times more complicated than the words currently used in Pan'gu Continent. Instead, it was more compatible with the words on Devil Clan.
With Lin Yue's knowledge, he could only understand about 2-3 out of 10 of them. But just 2-3 out of 10 was enough to make Lin Yue's scalp go numb, and make him feel overwhelmed with shock!
