Chu Yan looked at the wall. Just as Xia Fan had said, there were many carvings on the wall, depicting a group of proud warriors with superpowers. The warriors wore armor and held weapons, surrounding two old men with halos above their heads.
"It's the Cang Dragon and the Hidden Moon," Xia Fan said.
"Are you sure?" Chu Yan was taken aback, and she asked in surprise.
Xia Fan said, "In the fifth appendix of the Universe Chronicles, there is a detailed description of the Cang Dragon and the Hidden Moon. According to legend, the Cang Dragon and the Hidden Moon were the two strongest warring groups before the universe became civilized. They were far more powerful than the superhumans of today.
"The reason was that they mastered a god-tier power that surpassed the current combat system. The Cang Dragon and the Hidden Moon were invincible in the universe at that time. The Cangyue Universe was named after the two warring groups.
"Unfortunately, both Cang Long and Yue Yin disappeared for some unknown reason."
Xia Fan had a photographic memory. He had only been in civilization for a short time, but he could already recite the Universe Chronicles. Chu Yan was both envious and jealous of his crazy learning ability.
If Xia Fan only had superpowers, it would not be a big deal. The key was that he was good at studying and excelled in all subjects. It was a little exaggerated.
Chu Yan looked at the communication terminal on her wrist and frowned. "There's no signal. I can't contact the station or call for backup."
Xia Fan nodded. "It's okay. So what if they are the Cang Dragon and the Hidden Moon? They are just humans like us. They don't have three heads and six arms. Follow me, don't be afraid."
Chu Yan was five or six years older than Xia Fan, but at that moment, it was like Xia Fan was the big brother, comforting his little sister.
The road had become flat. Clearly, this was not an accidental phenomenon. Rather, the ancients had used manpower to excavate the road. Later on, it had been eroded by the environment, and it had become unrecognizable. Thinking back, this should have been a very wide underground tunnel that could accommodate three hovercars side by side.
The road continued down until it reached a depth of hundreds of kilometers below sea level.
The air did not turn turbid, which meant that there must be some kind of ventilation system. Although it was a long time ago, the system was still working.
Finally, just as Chu Yan's patience was about to reach its limit, the road finally came to an end. What appeared before them was the Dragon's Gate.
The gate was made of a thick alloy, and no one could open it with human strength alone. There were five glowing stones installed at the top of the gate. Three of them were lit, and the other two were probably broken, for they did not emit any light.
There were carvings on the Broken Dragon Gate, as well as on both sides of the gate. They depicted the Azure Dragon and Hidden Moon, the super warriors of these two prehistoric battle groups.
"It's Kro alloy." Xia Fan smiled and walked forward to push the Dragon Breaker. He jokingly said to ease Chu Yan's nervousness, "This alloy is very valuable. If we can move it back, we'll be rich."
As soon as Xia Fan finished speaking, something unexpected happened. The Dragon Gate, which weighed tens of thousands of tons, creaked and magically lifted up, revealing a passageway that continued forward.
"What did you do? How did you open it? "Chu Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
Xia Fan scratched his head innocently. "I didn't do anything. I just pushed it gently and the door opened by itself."
"By itself?" Chu Yan rubbed her chin.
At that moment, Xia Fan suddenly smiled, grabbed Chu Yan's hand, and led her forward.
"Since we're already here, let's go in and have a look. After all, this might be the former base of the Azure Dragon and Hidden Moon."
"Sooner or later, your curiosity will kill you!"
Although Chu Yan sounded dissatisfied, she did not resist. The two of them passed through the Dragon Gate.
Suddenly, Xia Fan felt a gust of wind behind him. He quickly turned around and sped up, but the Dragon Gate fell straight down at an unimaginable speed.
* Boom! *
Without giving Xia Fan and Chu Yan a chance, the Dragon Gate fell straight down with a deafening sound.
* Crack crack crack crack *
Then, countless spotlights installed on both sides of the passage were turned on, illuminating the underground corridor!
"Look." Chu Yan grabbed Xia Fan's arm with one hand and pointed at the top of the Dragon Gate with the other.
At the top of the gate, there were also five glowing crystals. However, all five of these crystals had already been lit up.
Xia Fan smiled. "The animals told me that three suspicious people came down here. Including the two of us, there are five of us. There are also five lights on the Dragon Gate …"
"Don't talk about those unfounded things. The suspects came here four years ago. Even if they didn't make it out, they would have turned into bones by now. Let's think about how we're going to get out of here alive. Without the communication terminal, no one will come to save us," Chu Yan said worriedly.
The lights shone brightly, illuminating the underground passage. After walking for about a kilometer, a second door appeared.
After passing through the second door, Xia Fan and Chu Yan saw a world that they would never forget. It was an underground jungle.
The fluorescent lights at the top of the cave maintained the photosynthesis of the jungle. There were many streams in the jungle. When they put their hands into the water, they felt cold. It must be underground water.
In short, in this magical underground world, a man-made ecosystem was built. Plants, animals, insects, and fish lived here.
Chu Yan pointed at the edge of the jungle and said, "There are traces of humans living here for a long time. They used to build a bonfire and roast the fish in the river. There are many fish bones on the ground and some fruit cores. They should be wild fruits."
"These pieces of evidence show that the three suspects might have been here before!" Chu Yan excitedly explained her deduction.
As soon as she said that, Xia Fan said, "There's no need to analyze. Not only did the three of them come here, but they are also still alive. They are hiding in the jungle opposite us."
Xia Fan raised his voice and shouted, "Since you've been discovered, you might as well come out!"
Not long after, they heard the sound of branches swaying in the jungle opposite them. Then, three savages walked out of the forest.
The three of them had unshaven beards and bloodshot eyes. Their skin was festering because of mosquito bites. They were dirty from head to toe. It was as if they had been away from civilization for a long time.
Among the three, there was a tall and skinny guy with sunken eyes and a gray face. There was a fat old man with fair skin. He looked like he had been living a good life, but there was a foul smell about him. The last one was the most special. He looked like a lion with golden fur. His golden beard reached his chest. He was short and strong, and he carried a bamboo basket on his back.
Chu Yan tensed her muscles and clenched her fists when she saw them.
Xia Fan, on the other hand, was still smiling. He said to the three unknown people, "What a coincidence. What are the three of you doing here?"
The fat old man seemed to be the leader of the three. He looked at Chu Yan and Xia Fan and said, "You're asking us? Who are you guys? "
Xia Fan was about to answer when Chu Yan suddenly took a step forward and shouted, "Cut the crap! The Alliance Special Task Force is working on a case! Get down, all of you! Hands over your head! "
Xia Fan wanted to stop Chu Yan from revealing her identity, but it was too late. He could only shake his head with a bitter smile on his face.
As soon as the three men heard that they were investigators from the Special Task Force, their expressions changed immediately. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent. Among them, the one with the golden beard even secretly reached for the bamboo basket on his back. Of course, Xia Fan saw all these little tricks.
The chubby old man said calmly, "The Special Task Force? So what? I'm afraid you guys are just like us. You can come in, but you can't get out! "
The old man turned to Xia Fan and asked curiously, "Kid, how did you find out we were hiding behind the trees?"
Xia Fan smiled and said, "It's simple. You guys are not very hygienic, so you smell bad. No matter how well you hide, you can't hide the smell."
"My colleague just told you that we're investigators from the Special Task Force. We need you to come back with us. There's a case we need your help with."
"Hahaha!"
The three men looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The man with the golden beard said, "Kid, you have a good sense of smell, but you're a little stupid!"
"You don't even know where this place is, and you came all the way here? I'm afraid you won't even know how you died later! "
The fair and chubby old man rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand to stop his companion from continuing. Then, he said in a deep voice, "To tell you the truth, this is the training ground built by the Azure Dragon Hidden Moon who swept across the entire universe."
"As one of the two most famous combat groups in ancient times, it's not easy to join them. You have to go through many rigorous tests, and this place is one of their test sites."
"When we found this place, we never thought that it would be a team training field. Every five warriors would form a standard combat team, which is the usual fighting style of Azure Dragon Moon Concealment. There were only three of us, so we couldn't meet the requirements to activate the training field."
"But now that you're here, there are five of you, and the trial field is finally activated."
"According to the rules, all five of you must pass the trial alive. Otherwise, if one of you dies, the other four will be executed immediately. I've said it before, it's not easy to become a member of Moon Concealment. The trial field is a place where you have to fight with your life on the line."
"That's why we can't go back with you to investigate, because no one can go back before the trial is over."
"Whether you're investigators from the Special Task Force or not, the only thing you can do now is to cooperate with us!"
Xia Fan was slightly stunned. Judging from the old man's tone, he did not think he was lying. The five lanterns on the Dragon Gate could also prove what he said.
Just as Xia Fan's brain was spinning, trying to come up with a solution, Chu Yan was unusually agitated today. She shouted angrily, "You want us to cooperate with you? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! "
"You're important wanted criminals of the Alliance! Other than being sent to the guillotine, there's no other ending for you! "
"So she knows these three guys!" Xia Fan was shocked by what Chu Yan said.
At that moment, Xia Fan suddenly sniffed, and his expression changed slightly.
The next second, Xia Fan grabbed Chu Yan, tucked her under his armpit, and ran away.
"Something's coming!"
