282 The Mysterious Mural
It was no wonder that Shen Changling would have such a worry. There were endless strange things in the cave. First, there were illusions that could not be sensed, and then there were invisible monsters. Dealing with them was very difficult, and no one knew what to expect.
Most importantly, most of Qian Yuan’s abilities had been suppressed. If he was elsewhere, he would have a much easier ti. He would not be as sullen as he was now.
Ye Xuan’s view was a little different. He said, “Since we’re already here, there’s no reason to leave. Besides, we’ve already co this far, so why don’t we explore this entire place?”
Qian Yuan felt the sa way. After all, the effect of this place on him was too great. If he didn’t investigate this place thoroughly, he wouldn’t be able to rest. Moreover, many great demonic beasts had disappeared for no reason. As their leader, he naturally had the responsibility and obligation to get to the bottom of this.
Even though Qian Yuan’s full power was currently suppressed, he was still able to use a portion of his strength. Coupled with Ye Xuan’s abilities, it shouldn’t be a problem for the three of them to escape unscathed if sothing really happened.
However, Ye Xuan and the others didn’t dare to take things lightly and continued to move forward.
“There seems to be sothing on the wall.”
Ye Xuan reached out to touch the wall. The surface was uneven, and a fla ford by spiritual power illuminated their field of vision.
“Co and see what these are.”
Qian Yuan and Shen Changling also ca over. Before them was a large mural.
There were many tiny figures carved on it. So were dancing with joy, so were wearing strange masks, and so were kneeling on the ground, worshiping the sky. So were dancing around the bonfire, as if they were holding so kind of sacrificial ceremony.
In addition, there were piles of bones in the open space. From the shape of the bones, they all belonged to demonic beasts. There was also a high platform where soone was brutally killing demonic beasts. They all died in various ways.
Even Ye Xuan and Shen Changling, who were humans, felt a little uncomfortable, not to ntion Qian Yuan. He couldn’t help but look away after taking a quick glance.
On the wall next to it was a completely different scene. It was engraved with all kinds of ferocious demonic beasts, slaughtering and torturing humans for fun. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was hell on earth.
It was just a cold mural, but it was so lifelike as if the events portrayed were actually taking place. This ti, it was Ye Xuan and Shen Changling’s turn to feel nauseous.
Although the conflict between humans and demonic beasts still existed to this day, it was not as intense as in the past. If these murals were real events that had happened before, they must have occurred far back in ancient tis.
“What do these murals an?”
Whether it was the first or the second mural, they were filled with killing and blood. Be it humans killing demonic beasts, or demonic beasts killing people, it was as if they had all fallen into madness.
Ye Xuan also noticed that there was supposed to be a third mural, but it was smoothed out and looked blurry. It was impossible to distinguish what was portrayed, and he didn’t know if it was an accident or intentional destruction.
He muttered, “If only I knew what the third mural is.”
For so reason, he had a feeling that the contents of the third mural was more important.
Ye Xuan looked at the two murals, trying to find the connection between them, but to no avail. At this mont, he felt an extrely evil gaze lock onto him, as if there was a knife on his back, making him feel an inexplicable chill.
The mural was huge. Could it be that there was sothing that they had overlooked?
Ye Xuan followed his intuition and found a white spot in the clouds that seed to be covered in dust. He reached out to clean it, and a black outline was revealed.
In an instant, it was as if he had fallen into endless darkness. Ye Xuan’s hands trembled slightly, and even his movents beca stiff. The things that were blocking him were now clear, and he could finally see the hidden image.
It was an eye.
It was hidden in the clouds, looking down at everything in the world from above. It was like a mastermind behind the scenes, manipulating everything. Ye Xuan couldn’t describe the feeling he had for this eye. It was cold and evil, as if all the malice in the world was gathered here.
It actually made him feel dizzy. This feeling only lasted for a mont. The shouts of Shen Changling and the others sounded in his ears, as though their voices were far away.
“Elder Ye!”
Ye Xuan suddenly ca back to his senses and saw Shen Changling’s worried look. The latter said, “Elder Ye, are you okay? I called you several tis but you didn’t hear .”
Ye Xuan shook his head and looked at the eye on the mural again. Nothing seed unusual about it now. Shen Changling and Qian Yuan were both extrely calm, as if everything he had just experienced was an illusion.
“Was it really an illusion?” Ye Xuan asked himself internally.
He asked the other two, “Do you guys find this eye strange?”
Looking in the direction Ye Xuan was pointing, Shen Changling and Qian Yuan both shook their heads. Ye Xuan carefully observed their expressions and didn’t notice anything amiss.
“Although the eye doesn’t quite fit the scene, there’s nothing strange about it. Elder Ye, was your sudden lapse just now because of this eye?”
Ye Xuan retracted his gaze and said, “Perhaps I’m thinking too much. Let’s keep going. Maybe we’ll find sothing new.”
At this point, they were certain that this cave was man-made. Otherwise there was no way to explain the murals. Ye Xuan and the others also ca to this conclusion.
The inhabitants of this cave must have been very hostile to the demonic beasts and set up a restriction or sothing in the cave. Otherwise, they would not have targeted the demonic beasts to the extent that even Qian Yuan’s power was suppressed.
Ye Xuan voiced out his speculation and Shen Changling and Qian Yuan both agreed.
