Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Mountain Suppressing Divine Beast
He lowered his head to glance at the wound, noticing it was still bleeding.
“I don’t have the knowledge of first aid, and I only have so hemostatic dicine here. I’ll wrap it up for you temporarily; we’ll have to wait for the two of them to co out before we can treat you,” she said.
“I know. How are they doing now?”
“They said they’ve entered a cryptic room, and the sound insulation is so good in there that I can’t talk to them. I can’t get in, so all we can do here is patiently wait.”
“What? There’s a secret chamber inside that cave?”
“Yes, and according to my brother, there seems to be a stone coffin in there, probably with soone inside, but no one knows how many years it has been buried there. By the way, how long has Xi Lian Mountain been around?”
...
“As far as I can rember, it’s always been here. Moreover, my great-grandfather’s generation has lived in this mountain by hunting, so it’s probably been around for a long, long ti.”
“Then, regarding this deep mountain, are there any other legends? Or has anyone stayed in a cave for a long ti, have you heard any such news?”
“No, I’ve never heard of such things. And I didn’t even know that people lived here. This area used to be forbidden, so nobody was able to co in.”
“That’s really strange. If no one has entered this area for so many years, why would there be a secret chamber in there? And why did he die here, and who buried him after his death?”
“No one can explain that. Maybe, we can only find out what happened in that room after your brother cos out.”
The hunter was genuinely interested and wanted to know everything.
Having lived at the base of this great mountain for so many years, one can say that generations have relied on this mountain for sustenance.
But now, with such mysterious events happening inside the great mountain, this probably holds profound significance for them.
“You’ll just have to hang in there for now. Fortunately, those things are trapped below, so they can’t co out. As long as we leave this area, we should be relatively safe.”
The hunter didn’t continue; he simply nodded. Now, the pain in his body was gradually lessening.
He believed he could hold on until that mont.
After all, to have fallen from such a height and to have miraculously survived was already incredibly fortunate for him.
At this mont, Lin Yi remained trapped in the secret room, waiting patiently.
He was far from anxious; he had been sowhat anxious before, but now that he was in this room, he seed to have beco much calr all of a sudden.
Lin Yi knew that no matter how long the wait, in the end, there would only be one outco: they still wouldn’t be able to escape this secret room.
Finally, Lin Yi saw Ling’er stand up from the stone bench and then stretch a big yawn.
He checked the ti; an entire hour had passed since then, slipping by unnoticed.
“Ling’er, how did it go, have you finished looking at everything?”
“Yes, I’ve finished looking,” she replied.
“So, what now? What did you see in there? And, is there anything valuable?”
“What’s recorded inside is all valuable, so it seems we should be able to leave here smoothly this ti.”
Ling’er spoke with a smile beginning to form on her face.
This confird that their ideas were sound and that they would likely be able to realize everything soon.
“Then, tell quickly, what happened, and what kind of person was he?”
“Let put it this way—he used to be a hunter,” she said.
“What? A hunter?”
“Yes, but as for the tiline, since so of the text is unclear to , I can’t infer precisely, but I can estimate that it’s been several hundred years from now.”
“If that’s the case, then it really has been a long ti. Alright, tell in detail, what exactly is the situation.”
“What is recorded is why he ca here, what happened after he arrived, and why he was trapped here, never leaving the place.”
“Why? Why did he co here?”
“He said he was just searching for a ga animal when he ventured alone into Xi Lian Mountain, but the deeper he went, the more trapped he beca, staying here for a total of 17 days.”
“What? Seventeen days, which ans that he wasn’t here during those 17 days, right?”
“Right, he wasn’t here, and he seed to be searching for a secret. He discovered Xi Lian Mountain had a secret and that the Divine Beasts guarding the mountain were the four creatures that appeared before .”
“Divine Beasts? You an, the whole of Xi Lian Mountain was under their guardianship?”
“It was guarded by them. Moreover, he had discovered that if those beasts were lost, and he felt that if those four Divine Beasts weren’t subdued, then the villagers around Xi Lian Mountain would cease to exist.”
“You’re saying he protected everyone in the village. So, does that an he was likely soone from our village?”
“Right, he once noted that he was from our village, probably from a wealthy household, with plenty of fertile land, but the specifics weren’t recorded in great detail; he rely ntioned it in passing.”
“So, his intention for coming here was truly to earnestly protect the common people?”
“That seems to be the gist of it. And what I gather from this is that a long, long ti ago, the villagers were constantly suffering imnse disturbances from Xi Lian Mountain. To resolve this, he braved the mountain alone.”
