Chapter 74 The Heart inside the Bronze Palace
They were very tall; each ancient warrior stood about three meters, clad in ancient armor, rusted and with its colors long faded. At a glance, they exuded a sense of the passage of time.
Upon closer examination, they exhibited no signs of life, yet a bizarre aura lingered on their surfaces, putting everyone on alert.
Chen Pingping thought of the predecessor he had seen the night before, who had been ordered to campaign in the Wasteland. Could it be that this group of warriors was the same?
He suddenly became solemn. He always felt as though he was opening a door that had never appeared before, with many secrets hidden behind it, tantalizingly within reach. But he didn’t want to open it. Stories of the past had nothing to do with him; he did not wish to get involved.
"Shall we leave this place?" Jin Qiongyu asked, feeling uneasy.
"No," Chen Pingping shook his head. "These ancient warriors have perished; there’s no need to fear them."
Jin Qiongyu said nothing, pursing her lips. Was this because of the ancient warriors? Such a shocking secret was hidden below the lakeshore! She had to leave this place alive and report everything she witnessed to the Fire Tribe. She always felt that the scenes she had perceived beforehand were closely related to... everything here. Bones were scattered everywhere; living creatures were devastated. The Fire Tribe had become a dreadful battlefield. The more she thought about it, the more terrified and uneasy she became...
However, the seal behind her had closed. Without Earth Chicken’s help, she could not escape. Reluctantly, she decided to follow.
Chen Pingping walked over, carefully studying the text and patterns in the alcoves.
They were very ancient. He couldn’t understand the text, but he could make out some of the patterns: some people, some races, were holding some kind of mysterious ceremony when suddenly a great bird swooped down from the sky, spewing infernal flames and incinerating that race.
After that, a host of formidable enemies attacked, mercilessly massacring this race.
