Hu Mazi clutched the short knife at his waist, his heart pounding uncontrollably: “David, inside”
“You’ll know once you go in and see for yourself.”
David pushed open the door, and a denser wave of demonic energy gushed out, causing the golden light on the protective shield to flicker violently several times before stabilizing.
Behind the door was a long passage, with glowing crystals embedded in the stone walls on both sides, illuminating the passage as if it were daytime.
But the light had an eerie green hue, and felt cold to the touch as it shone on my face.
The floor of the tunnel was littered with skeletons, some human skeletons, some demon skeletons, and even some giant beast skeletons that had never been seen before, which clearly showed that a fierce battle had taken place here.
“These skeletons are very old, at least tens of thousands of years old.”
David squatted down to examine the demon’s relatively intact skeleton. He saw a smooth hole in the skull with burn marks still visible at the edges. “killed by a sharp weapon, and killed in one blow.”
Hu Mazi also took out a human arm bone with a half-incantation rune engraved on it, which was somewhat similar to the symbols on his jade pendant: “This is my Hu clan’s incantation mark! Could it be that my ancestor participated in the battle here back then?”
David stood up, his gaze sweeping across the depths of the passage: “Whoever left it here, it means that not only is there an obstacle here, but also something much more dangerous. Continue forward, and stay alert.”
The two of them walked down the hall, and the further they went, the colder the air became, and the clearer their whispers became.
Those voices sounded like the whispers of countless people in one’s ears, expressing pain and hatred; those with weaker willpower might have already lost their composure.
Hu Mazi felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly mustered his limited spiritual energy to fight back, but the voices pierced his ears like maggots stuck to his bones, causing his vision to darken.
Just then, David suddenly shouted in a low voice, “Concentrate yourself and calm your mind!”
A surge of pure spiritual energy poured into Hu Mazi’s body, exploding in his mind like thunder, instantly eradicating the whispers.
Hu Mazi was drenched in cold sweat and gasping for breath: “Damn, I almost”
“That’s the devil’s voice filling your ears.”
David’s eyes looked serious. “The ancient demon remains at the bottom of the abyss are causing trouble. They can’t attack us directly, so they are using this method to disturb our minds. Hold onto this jade pendant tightly; its aura can suppress the demon remains.”
Hu Mazi quickly pressed the jade pendant to his chest and indeed felt much calmer.
The two continued to walk forward, and at the end of the hall appeared a crossroads. The hallway on the left was filled with the faint smell of blood, while the sound of running water could be heard from the right.
David checked the map and found that the map only marked the location up to the stone gate, and the area after the road junction was empty.
