Chapter 1325: Fossil Museum

“So, there has to be another entrance here?”

Meng Chao looked up at the pipe that they had fallen down. “We fell from above, and this pipe from three thousand years ago should still be intact.

“There must be a tunnel around here that connects to the other areas of the Holy Mountain temple so that the mourners can send the deceased’s funerary goods here.”

“That’s right. We really shouldn’t waste our time here.”

The Wolf King revealed a greedy expression. “The tattoo bones here are fragmented. The largest ones are no larger than the size of a palm. The initial grade must not be very high. They are only burial objects of ordinary warriors.

“In the other areas deep in the temple, there must be even more complete and high-grade tattoo bones, weapons, armors, and secret medicines. They are the burial objects of the heroes who are praised in countless war epics. They have also received the blessings of the greatest ancestral spirits for three thousand years or even longer.

“The funerary objects of these epic-level powerhouses contain totem power at least a hundred times more than the pile of bones in front of us.

“That is the most wonderful legacy left to us by the ancestral spirits!”

With the faint phosphorescence emitted by the bones, the two of them began to explore the cabin walls carefully.

In the past ten thousand years, the cabin walls of this “Bone chamber”had been scraped by the sharp edges of the bone fragments, leaving countless crisscrossing fine scratches.

It was like the soul of a ferocious beast hidden in the bone fragments whistling out of the bone fragments when no one was around, leaving thousands of claw marks on the cabin walls.

However, with his super accurate perception, Meng Chao quickly found four straight marks that were ten times thinner than a strand of hair among the messy claw marks.

The straight marks crisscrossed, forming a square frame that was more than three meters tall and two meters wide.

There was a difference in the height of half a hair between the bulkhead inside the square and the bulkhead outside.

“I’ve found it. This is the door!”

Meng Chao pressed his hands against the bulkhead inside the square and pushed the door outward with all his strength.

The door did not move at all.

After pondering for a moment, he slightly folded his palms and turned them into two suction cups that were pressed against the bulkhead.

Spiritual Flames were spat out from his palms and burned the air between his palms and the bulkhead, turning the space between the two suction cups and the bulkhead into a vacuum state.

Then, he drew back his bow steps, his spine writhing like a flood dragon as he exerted force and pulled back violently.

As expected, after a moment of stalemate, he heard an ear-piercing scratching sound coming from behind the bulkhead.

Accompanied by a hard tremor, the two-to-three-meter-square door was sucked out from the bulkhead. Between the door and the bulkhead, there was a gap that was enough for an adult to squeeze through.

Behind the gap was a pitch-black passage.

There was still a faint passing wind, but it seemed to be able to penetrate through the indestructible totem armor and blow directly into the gaps between People’s bones.

Meng Chao and the Wolf King Shivered at the same time.

When the passing wind blew onto the pyramid of bones behind the two of them.

The bone fragments that were still jumping and making “Kacha Kacha Kacha”noises had all quieted down.

Even the ferocious flames surrounding them dimmed a little.

It was as if there were a few extremely ferocious big fellows lurking at the end of the tunnel. When ordinary ferocious beasts smelled their scent, they would be scared out of their wits.

Meng Chao and the Wolf King looked at each other.

The two of them grabbed a bone fragment and crushed it into powder in their palms. Then, they used the life magnetic field to activate the most violent totem power in the bone fragment. Then, they waved the burning bone fragment toward the depths of the tunnel.

The burning bone fragment illuminated the tunnel as if it was daytime.

It also illuminated the two sides of the tunnel, as if the bone fragment was used as a tool to carve the murals.

The densely packed murals depicted the fierce battle between the ancient Turan warriors and the totem beasts.

It was as if the mourners had recorded their greatest achievements for the deceased.

Even though the strokes of the murals were very rough and even childish.

However, the simple yet soul-stirring power contained in each stroke still made the ancient Tulan warriors and totem beasts in the mural want to come out.

The ancient warriors and totem beasts that were drenched in blood, their skin split open, their bones protruded, and even their internal organs spurted out. They seemed to be standing on both sides of the tunnel, as if they were lining up to welcome Meng Chao and the Wolf King.

When the two of them stepped onto this long tunnel that led to an unknown place, they discovered that there were countless arrowheads and animal teeth embedded under their feet.

Even though both of their feet were wrapped in liquid metal-like substances.

The sharp edges that shot out from the arrowheads and animal teeth still followed the soles of their feet, pierced through their spines, and pierced straight into their brains.

The Wolf King told Meng Chao that this was also the Tulan burial custom from three thousand years ago.

Among the burial objects of the deceased, apart from the trophies that showed their valor, there were also fragments of weapons that he had once used.

The mourners would embed the shards of incomparably sharp weapons onto the ground of the Sacred Mountain Temple.

Every step that the later generations took was like walking on a forest of blades and swords. They had to be highly focused and have precise control over their bodies in order to successfully arrive in front of the ancestral spirits.

This was a test.

It was also a very effective cultivation method.

Indeed, the left, right, and the top of their heads were murals that seemed to have life.

Under their feet were arrowheads and animal teeth that could pierce through armor and the soles of their feet at any time.

Meng Chao’s nerves were highly tense, and he felt that it would consume more mental and physical energy than walking on a real battlefield.

As they gradually walked into the depths of the tunnel.

The passing wind grew stronger and stronger.

It seemed to have transformed into the roars, howls, howls, groans, broken bones and tendons, as well as the sounds of desperate tearing and devouring from thousands of years ago.

The highly abstract warriors and fierce beasts on the murals jumped up and down, dancing wildly. They even fought to break free from the two-dimensional restrictions and turned into three-dimensional runes, jumping eagerly toward Meng Chao’s body.

The totem power that Meng Chao had just absorbed from the bone fragments also began to stir.

Thousands of ferocious souls spread out from his boiling blood like tentacles that had broken out of shells, trying to turn him into something completely different from the people on Earth.

Meng Chao could not help but start to imagine things.

If the “Jackal”kanus in his previous life had transformed into the “Doomsday Wolf”after receiving the inheritance of the Holy Mountain, then what would he become in this life after receiving the inheritance of the Holy Mountain.

What would his current self transform into after receiving the inheritance of the sacred mountain?

The Wolf King who was walking in front suddenly stood still.

“Swoosh!”

He once again raised a pile of bone powder and transformed into dozens of colorful fireworks in the air.

With the help of the illumination of the fireworks, Meng Chao discovered that they had already walked out of the tunnel and arrived at another warehouse that was ten times larger than before.

No, judging from the shape of the funerary objects displayed here, Meng Chao would rather call this place a museum — a museum that specialized in displaying the fossils of large-scale ancient beasts.

To the left of Meng Chao was a huge skull of a ferocious beast.

From the three triangular-shaped horns that emitted black light and were thicker than Meng Chao’s thighs, this thing looked like a triceratops fossil.

However, it was at least three to five times larger than the Triceratops on earth.

Just the two dark eye sockets alone were more than half a meter in diameter.

It was hard to imagine how large the eyeballs of this ancient beast would have been when it was still alive.

And would the ferocious light emitted from such eyeballs be able to completely tear apart the resistance of the carbon-based creatures in an instant?

On Meng Chao’s right side, there was a spine that looked like a giant python or even a flood dragon.

Although it did not have a head.

The diameter of each joint of the giant Python was higher than Meng Chao’s height.

Above the joints, there were spikes that looked like sabers and Swords. The spikes were full of holes. It was unclear whether they were used to bleed the prey or inject fatal venom into the prey’s body.

Meng Chao estimated with his naked eyes that the length of the phosphorescence that it was exposed to was more than fifty meters. It coiled around the wall of the “Museum”.

The spine that was hidden in the darkness had no idea how many more joints there were.

Compared to this fierce beast, the python-type monsters around Dragon City that were stirring up trouble had become stunted earthworms.

This thing was simply an express train that went straight to the deepest part of hell!

Under the flickering phosphorescence, there were also countless huge fossils, revealing a corner of the extremely ferocious iceberg.

All the fossils were like the bone fragments from earlier. They were crystal clear and smooth like jade, faintly emitting the texture of crystals and metals perfectly fused together

Moreover, the surface of the fossils was covered with complicated, beautiful, and natural patterns, which formed mysterious totems.

Huala! Huala! Huala

The chains on Meng Chao’s arms were shaking violently.

The surface of the two ‘Skull-crushers’was covered in two clusters of faint red light, too.

It was the instinctive reaction of his nerve endings before his brain gave the order when he sensed the enormous energy and the undisguised aura of slaughter contained in the fossils.

These enormous fossils had clearly been displayed here for at least three thousand years.

However, when they were released from the crevices of their bones, the indescribable deterrence still gave Meng Chao an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if they would be resurrected at any time.

However, at the same time that his nerves were stretched to the limit, another voice came from within Meng Chao’s body, a desire.

It drove him like a moth to the flame, walking step by step towards the fossil of the ancient ferocious beast, opening the arms of his totem armor, releasing his life magnetic field, allowing his soul and the totem power hidden in the fossil of the giant beast to.., perfectly fusing together, transferring the totem that originally grew on the fossil of the giant beast into his armor, skin, flesh, bones, and even bone marrow, using this method to inherit the power of the giant beast.., and became a human-shaped ferocious beast with the ability to destroy the world!

Meng Chao clutched his chest tightly.

Even through the sturdy breastplate…

He could feel his heart beating faster and faster.

“Oh No, oh no.

“It’s the feeling of being moved!”
