Driven by curiosity, Chen Nan kept swimming forward.
About two hundred meters ahead, there was more than one bright white light in front of him.
There was no doubt that those were the skeletons of peerless masters.
Chen Nan was shocked. So many peerless masters had all been buried here! He swam closer to take a look. Unsurprisingly, those were the skeletons of women.
The eerie white bones were piled up like mountains.
He didn't know how big the underground lake was. Chen Nan swam in the direction where the bones were the densest.
He swam forward for at least two thousand meters. Along the way, he saw white bones everywhere. Among them, the ones that were seriously corroded and emitted the most light. There were probably tens of thousands of them. As for those that were slightly brighter, there were hundreds of them.
There were also more than twenty skeletons of peerless masters that were destroyed like lanterns.
To be able to kill so many masters, there must have been an extremely fierce battle in the past.
Chen Nan kept swimming forward. He wanted to see how many peerless masters had died here and what kind of place was at the end of these piles of white bones.
He swam forward for another few hundred meters. There were more and more skeletons behind him.
After five hundred meters, Chen Nan saw twice as many skeletons as he had seen in the previous two thousand meters. There were more than fifty skeletons of peerless masters.
Including the previous skeletons, there were more than seventy skeletons in total!
These were at least masters of the Reaching Heaven Realm. So many of them had died at once. What terrible thing had happened here in the past?
Chen Nan didn't dare to imagine.
After walking for another fifty meters, he saw a huge rock in front of him. There was a strangely shaped hole in the rock wall.
Why was it strange-shaped? It was because the shape of the cave looked like a bird. To be precise, it was not an ordinary bird. It looked like the legendary Fire God Bird — the Vermilion Bird.
Chen Nan swam over countless white bones and headed toward the cave.
This underwater cave should have been built at the same time as these white bones. Some peerless masters might have lived here and left behind some peerless treasures.
After all, this was what was shown in martial arts TV shows.
Chen Nan didn't think it was reliable. After all, so many years had passed. Even if there were treasures, they would have been corroded. But he still wanted to give it a try. He was also curious about this underwater cave. So he stepped into the cave without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the cave, a gust of gloomy air hit him in the face. Chen Nan shuddered.
After entering the cave, he found that there was a water-proof barrier at the entrance... He didn't know what kind of energy was used to condense it. Outside the barrier was the endless underground lake..... But once he entered the cave, it was very dry.....................
What was even more puzzling was that the cave abode was clearly dry, but the feeling it gave off was even colder than the underground lake outside. It was especially eerie, causing Chen Nan to feel a chill in his heart.
"What the hell is this place?"
Chen Nan circulated his internal energy to resist the cold.
Although the cave was pitch-black, with his current cultivation, he could still see with his eyes.
After entering the cave, there was a walkway inside.
Chen Nan walked along the walkway for about ten meters. Suddenly, a "swish" sound was heard. The oil lamps in the walkway lit up automatically, illuminating the entire walkway.
Chen Nan looked along the walkway.
He found that there were two rows of terracotta figures standing on both sides of the walkway.
However, as he walked closer, he found that they were not terracotta figures. They were all wearing cotton clothes. Their faces were yellowish black. Their eye sockets were deeply sunken. Only a layer of skin was left covering their bones. They were actually mummies!
"Hiss …"
Chen Nan was shocked. He couldn't help but take a step back.
Although he was bold and had killed many people, he felt a chill on his back. Anyone would be able to stay calm when there were two rows of mummies standing next to him.
Like the white bones outside, these two rows of mummies were all women.
"Thud …"
"Thud …"
"Thud …"
The walkway was very quiet. Only the sound of Chen Nan's footsteps could be heard.
He carefully looked at the mummies around him. He was afraid that one of them was not completely dead and would attack him.
After walking for about fifty meters, Chen Nan saw a red door in front of him.
At this moment, the door was tightly shut.
Chen Nan walked to the door. After hesitating for a while, he slowly pushed the door open.
"Thump, thump, thump …"
The moment the door was pushed open, Chen Nan was so shocked that he took a few steps back.
Behind the door was a large hall. The scene in the hall shocked him.
Because there were two rows of mummies on both sides of the hall. There were four on the left, and one more on the right. There were five in total. In front of the main seat of the hall, there was a woman in red!
What really shocked Chen Nan was this woman in red!
Because there were nine flying swords stuck in her body. Every single one of them had penetrated her body.
But even so, she was different from the other mummies. Her skin was tender, and her face was delicate. She looked like a young girl who was still alive. Even the blood on the flying swords had not dried yet, as if it had just flowed out.
If her eyes were not closed and there was no breath of life on her body, Chen Nan would even think that this woman was still alive!
"Could it be … that she was also a person from thousands of years ago?"
Chen Nan was shocked by this idea. If a person who had been dead for thousands of years, or even longer, and her body had not decomposed, then how terrifying was her cultivation when she was alive?
Nine flying swords pierced through her body, but even though she was already dead, her body still didn't fall. What a stubborn expert!
Chen Nan walked step by step toward the woman in red.
He did not know where he got the courage. He wanted to check carefully to see if this woman in red still had breath of life. Otherwise, how could a person who had been dead for thousands of years still have her body intact?
When he arrived in front of the woman in red, Chen Nan slowly reached out and placed his finger on her forehead.
Calming himself down, Chen Nan used his mind power to sense the woman's breath of life. But he found that this woman in red was really dead. There was no sign of life at all.
However, just as he was about to withdraw his hand …
"Boom!"
Chen Nan only felt a loud bang in his mind. A sharp pain came from his sea of consciousness. He quickly withdrew his hand.
"How could this be?"
Chen Nan took a few steps back in shock.
He knew that he had been attacked mentally. But this woman in red was clearly dead. She could not have attacked him. Could there be other people here?
Chen Nan quickly turned around and scanned the hall. His expression changed instantly.
Of the five mummies on the right, the one in the front had disappeared. Now there were only four left!
