One of the skeletons was wearing an old-fashioned Chinese military uniform, and probably because they died a long time ago, the uniform was severely broken.
The other one didn’t seem to have any clothes
There were two pistols, a water bottle, and a watch that had already stopped working next to them. He had also noticed that there were many fish bones around them as well.
There were a few bullets that were buried on the ground, forming a strange arrow shape, pointing a circle not far from them.
Chu Yunsheng used his claws to dig the circle. Soon, he found a small package that was wrapped by a piece of clothes.
The clothes were already rotten. Chu Yunsheng could see a yellow notebook inside. His claws were too big to flip the notebook and the notebook itself was also severely damaged. So Chu Yunsheng had to use one of his sharp legs to flip the notebook.
As he flipped the notebook open, he noticed that the notebook was covered with traditional Chinese characters. There were many words that had already faded out and become blurry due to the water damage.
He spent a long time, but only barely figured out some of its contents.
“… The Republic of China … xx year xx month… Guangdong Province… earthquake… Strange antiques unearthed… Japanese gathered force… take it… we were ordered to set up an ambush….
…Guangdong province has many mountains and forests… Japanese soldiers were delayed… The situation was good on our side…
…xx day… Lee betrayed us… Ambush spot was exposed… we were surrounded… Captain Sun died… Brother Ziyu, Brother Haoming, and other people were forced to hide in the forest…
…Ate animals, drank raindrops… tough life… but for the country… No regrets…
…xx day, brother Huaiyu was very sick…
…xxx day brother Shaoyang died of poison…
…Brother Ziyu suggested destroying the Japanese’s digging site, we all agreed…
…Brother Ziyu died in the explosion, brother Haoming and I fell into a deep crack…
…It was dark here, and we were lost. Brother Haoming almost died of infection…
…What I saw today was incredible! Even the most advanced country in the world would not have this kind of technology…
…If we can study it and learn something from it, even if it is just a little bit of knowledge, we will…
…Brother Haoming finally woke up, I am very happy… God bless us… I will definitely bring the information about this ancient miracle back to the capital…
…Couldn’t approach it, it killed everything that approached it…
…I have seen two levels, but there seemed to be another level below them. How do I get in?…
…Earthquake… the exit was blocked…
…hungry and exhausted… Monsters were chasing us…
…I was wrong. There are more than two levels, maybe three levels or maybe 4 levels… the first level is this lake… but we are trapped here…
…We were like animals eating raw strange fish…
…I had an argument with brother Haoming, he wanted to take the original route back and find another way out…
…still couldn’t find a way out, we don’t know how long we have been trapped under the ground…
…brother Haoming committed a suicide today…
…I don’t know how much longer I can hold it, I am hungry…
…What I have done! How can I …I’m sorry Brother Haoming…
…I am leaving a draft map and a notebook, I hope someone will see this and bring my body back to my hometown and bury me there.
….Xiao Qingshan’s last note…”
Chu Yunsheng let out a sigh. He didn’t expect that people were also trapped here decades ago, and even until they died they still couldn’t find a way out.
He carefully closed the book, and then noticed that behind the skeletons, there was a small crack. It was only big enough for one human being to crawl through.
Just when he wanted to check the crack, he suddenly heard a loud roar from outside. Then many icicles were shot into the cave.
The cave was not big, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t dodge icicles, so he was hit many times.
He quickly crawled out of the cave and started to climb up again. At the same time, he glanced at the water below to see what was going on.
The water monster that was chasing Chu Yunsheng earlier was still there. But there was another one.
The icicles that were shot into the cave came from the other water monster’s mouth.
When the water monster saw Chu Yunsheng crawling out of the cave, both of them were very excited. The speed of the other water monster spitting out icicles also increased a lot.
It was like a heavy icicles machine gun that was constantly shooting icicles at Chu Yunsheng as he climbed upwards.
Within a few seconds, Chu Yunsheng’s surroundings were covered with icicles, some of them had even stabbed into Chu Yunsheng’s back.
All of a sudden, the rocks around Chu Yunsheng began to fall.
“Shit!” Chu Yunsheng cursed.
Under such a heavy attack, even if it was a metal wall, it would also be damaged, let alone the rock.
Just when the area that Chu Yunsheng was climbing was about to fall off, he immediately jumped up and tried to use his claws to catch one icicle that was not far above him.
However, the icicle was only able to support his weight for 3 seconds. Then he started falling again.
At that moment, Chu Yunsheng wished that he could fly, just like a green-shelled insect…
The little water monster had already opened its mouth, waiting for Chu Yunsheng to fall into its mouth.
It was at that moment, Chu Yunsheng’s surroundings were lit up. Then a long stream of fire appeared in his sight.
And before Chu Yunsheng fell into the monster’s mouth, a green shadow flew past him and took him away.
Then, Chu Yunsheng saw a purple and a golden shadow on the surface of the water, and they were slowly swimming towards him from far away. On their backs, he also noticed some familiar shadows.
In that split second, Chu Yunsheng knew who they were, and he was both relieved and excited and at the same time. He finally found his company.
“Boom!”
Old Purple instantly unleashed a round of purple flame shockwave at the smaller water monster, while it was still far away.
The purple flame shockwave split open the water and hit the water monster.
The little water monster didn’t even realize what happened. Then it was blown up and knocked back very far while its body was still covered with fire.
“Roar!”
It screamed pain while constantly twisting its body.
…
“Roar!” This time was the bigger one. It roared in anger, at the same time, it instantly unleashed many icicles at Old Purple.
But those icicles did not hit Old Purple at all, because Old Golden spit another stream of fire and it instantly gasified those icicles.
Seeing its attack was blocked by Old Golden, it roared again and swam back to help the smaller one…
“Shit… Old Purple, let’s go, quick… Little Green, fly to that cave…. Old Golden, follow us… ”
Just when Old Purple was about to unleash another around attack at the older water monster, it was immediately stopped by Chu Yunsheng.
Not a single insect understood why Chu Yunsheng wanted them to leave, they were just about to win the fight. But luckily they followed Chu Yunsheng’s order this time.
It was not that Chu Yunsheng did not want to explain to other insects, it was very hard for him to make them understand it. From one water monster chasing him to two water monsters trying to kill him, and from the second roar that the water monster made before it swam away, Chu Yunsheng knew that this type of creature was living in groups.
There were more of them coming. And if they were not going to leave soon, they would be trapped here. Those water monsters were not like the mice they fought earlier, and all the insects were currently in the water at the moment. So those water monsters had advantages.
That was why they had to leave, and they had to leave as soon as possible!
Little Green sent him back to the cave again. Chu Yunsheng quickly picked up the map and stuffed it into a gap between his shells.
“I am sorry. Although I got the map, I can’t take you back….” Chu Yunsheng respected soldiers, especially those who were fighting the invaders. However, there were not many things he could do for them. He could not even bury them here.
Old Golden soon arrived. The cave was very small, so Old Golden had to expand the cave in order to get in. Then Chu Yunsheng asked it to quickly dig through the small crack that was mentioned in the note.
With the help of Old Golden, they were further and further away from the lake….
While they were still in the tunnel that was dug by the Old Golden, Chu Yunsheng suddenly heard many heavy water splash sounds and a group of strange monsters’ loud roars coming into the tunnel from the lake non-stop.
Chu Yunsheng instinctively had a shudder. Luckily, they left earlier. Otherwise, they would definitely be swallowed up in the crowd.
“Puff…”
Brother Worm crawled towards Chu Yunsheng and suddenly spat out a pile of red mucus.
“What is this?” Chu Yunsheng was confused. So he asked Dumb Insect.
“Eat… eat… fire… Energy…” Dumb Insect replied.
“Where did you get it?” he immediately interrupted Dumb Insect and asked.
“Opposite… Fire… energy… tunnel…” Dumb Insect said much faster this time. It seemed like it was scared that Chu Yunsheng was going to interrupt him again.
But Chu Yunsheng still interpreted it. “No wonder why so many days have passed, but you guys are still filled with fire energy, even Little Green has also transformed into the second form.”
