Chapter 4252: Arrival at the Ruins

The four of them moved on.

As the distance goes deeper, the air becomes more and more humid.

And the lines and pictures on the wall are becoming more and more numerous and complex.

When they saw these things, the four people knew that what they were looking for was getting closer and closer.

Subconsciously, the four of them sped up.

But after walking for a while, I saw a pool of water in front of me.

The diameter of the pool is about seven or eight meters, and the water surface is calm without a single ripple.

Lin Yi squatted down and scooped up the water.

Ning Che understood tacitly and shone the flashlight over there.

"The water is very clear, it is most likely salt lake water."

"Let me try."

"No, what if it's poisonous?" Ning Che stopped him.

"Whether it will cause poisoning or not depends on the dosage. I'm just trying it. There won't be any problem."

Lin Yi has his own support, and he has the ability to be immune to all poisons. There will be no problem if he gives it a try.

Lin Yi took a bite gently and found it very salty.

"It should be the water from the salt lake."

Lin Yi stood up and said:

"This place is like a connecting vessel. The two places are connected. The octopus monster crawled from the salt lake to here through this connecting vessel-like place."

Ning Che and the other two nodded. They agreed with this statement.

Lin Yi held a flashlight and shone it on the rock walls on both sides.

"These lines and murals on the wall extend all the way into the water. I guess there must be something under the water."

As he spoke, Lin Yi took the rope and wrapped it around his waist.

"Take out your rescue ropes and tie them up with me. I'll go down and take a look. You stay here and keep watch."

"There may be other creatures down there. If we stay together, we can take care of each other if something happens." Ning Che said.

"You two stay here, we'll go downstairs," Tao Cheng said.

"We don't have enough safety ropes. I can do it on my own. Wait here for me."

As he spoke, Lin Yi had already stepped one foot into the pool of water, not giving them a chance to speak.

The three of them had no choice but to connect their safety ropes with Lin Yi's, so as to ensure Lin Yi's safety to the greatest extent possible.

Holding his breath, Lin Yi dived into the water.

The underwater situation was better than Lin Yi had expected. Under the illumination of the searchlight, visibility was very high.

Fortunately, no other large creatures were spotted.

Such high salinity is indeed not suitable for the survival of other organisms.

Lin Yi’s goal was very clear. He swam towards the depths along the mural on the wall.

Just then, Lin Yi discovered something wrong.

When I shone the flashlight over there, I found piles of white bones at the bottom of the water.

Lin Yi was startled and swam over.

After an inspection, Lin Yi discovered that those bones were all human!

Moreover, these bones are thicker than those of normal people.

Lin Yi quickly made a judgment in his mind.

These bones are not from normal people, and they were immediately handed over to the giants.

Since he swam here by holding his breath, Lin Yi picked up a bone and continued swimming forward to avoid delaying anything.

About a minute later, Lin Yi saw a dark area in front of him. He shone his flashlight and was surprised to find that there was a cave entrance!

The lines and murals on the rock wall also extended towards the cave entrance.

Lin Yi was certain that the entrance to the cave was the place he was looking for!

Soon, Lin Yi reached the cave entrance and climbed out of the water.

The area of ​​the cave entrance is still not very large, and the height is less than one and a half meters, which is similar to the cave entrance when we came in.

Gasping for breath, Lin Yi recalled the situation underwater and found that the underwater environment was not complicated.

If there is no water, you can find this place from where you entered the water. There are not many obstacles and you can reach it by walking.

Lin Yi guessed that there might have been no water here in the past, but after so many years, it has become like this.

I took the flashlight and shone it forward. There was a deep passage ahead, but there was a turn about ten meters away. If I wanted to know what was inside, I had to go deeper.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry, but pulled the rope rhythmically to send signals to Ning Che and the other two.

The four of them had a high level of tacit understanding. Not long after Lin Yi pulled the rope, a sound was heard from underwater.

After waiting for a while, I saw Ning Che poking his head out of the water.

Lin Yi reached out and pulled her up, followed by Qiu Yuluo and Tao Cheng.

After the four of them gathered, they squeezed the water out of their bodies and Lin Yi said:

"When you came here, you should have seen the bones under the water, right?"

"I didn't notice. I saw you sending a signal and then I swam over." Ning Che said.

"We both saw it." Qiu Yuluo said.

Lin Yi displayed the bones he picked up from underwater in front of the three people.

"This is a leg bone. It is thicker than a normal person's. It is estimated that the height is at least 2.2 meters."

"Giant tribe!" Ning Che suddenly said.

This statement was also agreed by Qiu Yulo and Tao Cheng.

"When we came here, we saw a lot of white bones underwater, dozens of them, to say the least. But it is unlikely that anyone would set foot in a place like this. It is very likely that they were the indigenous people of that time," said Qiu Yulo.

"That's what I thought too." Lin Yi said:

"But it's very interesting why these people died here."

"Could it be because of the invasion?" Tao Cheng said:

"Judging from the environment here, this should be a gathering place for dwarves, and it is not suitable for giants to survive."

"What you mean is that the giants invaded the dwarves and finally died here." Ning Che said.

Lin Yi nodded and continued:

"That's also possible, but we have to go in and see what it is like."

As he spoke, Lin Yi stood up, and the others followed closely behind him, aiming at the cave behind them.

Lin Yi held a flashlight and led three people into the cave. Everyone was very careful.

In a place like this, you never know when some weird thing might pop up.

Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che, holding their unusable mobile phones, kept taking pictures of the murals on the wall and recorded all the information.

Lin Yi walked slowly, step by step, and reached the intersection ahead.

When we reached the turning point ahead, the view ahead suddenly opened up and a huge cave appeared.

However, the structure of the cave was completely different from what Lin Yi and the other three had imagined. It was not arc-shaped, but square, and at least three meters high.

And the walls are polished very smoothly, just like other ruins.

The rock walls are covered with dazzling texts and pictures.

But in addition to these, in the center, there was a long stone table, and next to the table, there were a few piles of ashes.

Lin Yi walked over to take a look, then took it in his hand and touched it.

“It’s ashes.”
