At this moment, everyone was gathered outside the pitch-black cave.
Xiao Pang took out a high-tech flashlight he bought from the Treasure House and cautiously shone it inside.
Sure enough, he vaguely saw some steps.
“Look, there are steps inside.
Should we go in and take a look?”
Xiao Pang said excitedly.
“Wait a minute, this might be an ancient man-made cavern.
It might just be full of junk, nothing worth seeing.”
Yan Ping said, his eyes darting around uncertainly.
Professor Zheng bent down and asked the Dean, who was crouching on the ground sniffing a handful of sand.
“This sand doesn’t belong to this area, and it has a slightly acidic smell.
The place below isn’t just for storing junk!!”
The Old Dean said slowly.
“Dean, our archaeological expedition aims for practical archaeology.
Now that we’ve encountered an ancient relic, we can’t give up.”
Xiao Pang was the first to speak.
“Fat Man, you have quite the archaeological spirit!”
“Aren’t you afraid of what we might encounter?”
The Old Dean looked at him meaningfully.
Brother Tian and I have prepared plenty of high-tech products; we could clear this entire area.”
Look at Xiao Pang’s proud little eyes.
Ye Tian had a black line across his forehead, thinking, “Xiao Pang, Xiao Pang, your so-called high-tech gear is just a flashlight, a screwdriver, and a modern shovel.”
Xiao Pang and the Old Dean asked in unison.
Then Ye Tian and the others looked at the three of them with strange expressions.
“It’s said that a Demon King is buried under the Tagu Desert, and anyone who enters will be cursed.”
Yan Ping said anxiously.
We have more important things to do.
We still need to hurry to that door, right?”
Xiao Pang made a yawning gesture, waving everyone back.
“Wait, did you hear something??”
Ye Tian suddenly spoke up.
The group fell silent and discovered an eerily terrifying sound.
“Oh no, we’re doomed!!!”
“The Tagu Thin Snakes must have already surrounded the stone house.”
Yan Ping’s voice was very shaky.
“What thin snakes???”
“The Tagu Thin Snake is a unique product of this desert.
They’re yellow, only about the size of a finger, and can move rapidly through the sand.”
“What’s more critical is that its venom is dozens of times more potent than that of a king cobra, and no antivenom can save you.”
“It’s been ten years since I last heard of someone being bitten to death by these snakes.
How can we encounter them here?”
The Old Dean, too, changed his previously calm demeanor.
“No time to worry about that; thin snakes appear in swarms.
Hurry into the cave.”
“Look, the protruding sand over there is the thin snakes.
Ye Tian was about to say he could handle it, but Lin Chumo and Mu Yunxi each grabbed one of his hands and pulled him inside.
The touch was too pleasant, rendering him speechless.
The steps were made of stone, relatively well preserved, and decorated with some patterns.
They were quite artistic, though a bit slippery with sand.
Yan Ping and Xiao Pang’s footsteps echoed on the steps.
Now, Ye Tian was the one holding the two girls’ hands because they were afraid of the dark.
Once they all entered, the pit outside was teeming with dozens of big holes, from which increasingly more thin snakes crawled out.
Each one had a yellow body and a red tail, appearing like endless waves of a breached dam.
Meanwhile, thousands more emerged from the sand.
These snakes, despite Yan Ping’s description of being entirely yellow, had red tails.
Gathered together, they hissed; an ordinary person would be paralyzed with fear.
However, these thousands of thin snakes just wandered outside, their tiny eyes showing extreme fear, not daring to enter at all.
Inside the secret passage.
“Oh my god, this place is huge!”
Xiao Pang exclaimed, looking around in shock.
Xiao Pang and Yan Ping had slid through a narrow passage, emerging into an expansive space.
It looked like a grand hall, with statues of weapon-wielding stone figures in five different positions and a very high door that only one person could pass through at the front.
The first impression was its vastness, followed by the strange and ancient shape of the items inside.
Ye Tian used the Creation Divine Eye to inspect the surroundings, discovering a massive array that continuously absorbed nature’s spiritual energy.
Ye Tian’s eyes showed a hint of gravity, as he couldn’t set up such an array even with his current skills.
Suddenly, the space ignited with flames, overshadowing Xiao Pang’s high-tech flashlight, fully revealing the hall to Ye Tian and the others.
“Let’s not wander around and check what we have here first?”
“We can’t go back now; the circular passage is too steep!!”
Speaking of the circular passage, Lin Chumo and Mu Yunxi both blushed simultaneously.
When they slid down, they were so scared that they clung tightly to Ye Tian.
But being in a circular tunnel, it didn’t fit three people well, so they slid down in an awkward position.
Now, there were faint red lip marks on Ye Tian’s sides, though he had rubbed them off.
“Ye Tian, does this hall look similar to this pattern?”
“I think there might be clues about my parents here.”
Chu Han Ya, ignoring the two girls beside Ye Tian, ran over excitedly, holding a book and speaking to him.
Near the stone house.
The thin snakes retreated, and a large group of people lay on the sand, panting, saying, “Huff, huff, what…
what the hell were those things.”
