Not long after Ouyang Shuo entered the forest, a shout came from behind. A Divine Martial Guard caught up and said, "Your Majesty, we found a cave."
"Let's go take a look!"
Soon, Ouyang Shuo's group arrived at a cave covered by shrubs. Because it was covered by vines and had been around for a long time, the surface of the rock was covered with moss. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to find it.
Ouyang Shuo praised, "You guys are so attentive."
The young Divine Martial Guard heard this and straightened his chest even more. He couldn't hide the excitement on his face. For a Divine Martial Guard, it was the greatest honor to receive the king's praise. It was enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.
When the vines were removed, a pitch-black cave appeared in front of them.
"Torch!"
Ouyang Shuo said as he walked into the cave.
The Divine Martial Guards lit up torches and followed him into the cave. Xu Chu was like an iron tower, silently following behind the king. His eyes were bright and full of expression, paying attention to the surroundings at all times.
After walking for about twenty meters, he suddenly came to a spacious hall. Stalactites hung upside down in the hall like stalagmites. Indistinctly, he could even hear the dripping sound of water.
Ouyang Shuo's heart moved and he followed the sound of water.
With the light of the torch, Ouyang Shuo saw the strangest stalactite. It was as white as milk, warm and translucent, and he could faintly smell a fragrance.
There was a basin-sized pool under the stalactite. The dripping sound was the sound of the white liquid gathered by the stalactite dripping into the pool. It was particularly crisp in the quiet cave.
The pool was already half filled with clean liquid like milk.
Getting closer to the pool, he could smell an even richer fragrance. Not only that, his entire body seemed to become refreshed. The pores on his body opened up and he felt extremely comfortable. It was as if he had eaten a miraculous medicine.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed. He knew he had found a treasure.
"Fortune Source is indeed a magical item. I finally have a fortuitous encounter." Ouyang Shuo was secretly happy and used Detection on the pool.
[Ten Thousand Year Stalactite (Purple Gold)]: Rare spirit item. Can be consumed directly to increase one's strength. It can also be used to refine pills. As for the specific effects, the player can explore it themselves.
"It really is a good treasure!"
Ouyang Shuo was delighted and took out four glistening yellow gourds from his storage pouch.
This was no ordinary gourd. It was a precious tool that was specifically used to store elixirs in liquid form. Not only could it maintain the spirituality of elixirs, it could also increase the spirituality of elixirs after being stored for a long time. It was a rare treasure.
The four gourds were given to Ouyang Shuo by the Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing. He didn't expect that they would come in handy here.
Since he'd entered a treasure mountain, how could Ouyang Shuo return empty-handed? The four gourds just happened to fill up the ten thousand year old stalactite in the pool, and not a single drop was left.
"Here!"
Ouyang Shuo handed one of the gourds to Xu Chu.
"Your Majesty?!"
Even someone as taciturn as Xu Chu couldn't hide his surprise. As a valiant general with a high cultivation, Xu Chu could naturally sense that this milky white liquid was extraordinary.
But Xu Chu had never thought that the King would give him one.
Ouyang Shuo faintly smiled and said, "This is ten thousand years old stalactite, it can increase one's strength after consuming it. After we return to the ship, arrange for the three thousand Divine Guards to share it with us. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The tower-like man had tears of gratitude on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the Divine Guards saw this, they all bowed in unison, unable to conceal their excitement.
It was no wonder that they dared not to serve such a wise master to the death!
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and put the remaining three gourds into his interspatial pouch. The Divine Guards were his most loyal guards, and Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't forget about them now that there were benefits.
Moreover, increasing the strength of the Divine Guards was also increasing Ouyang Shuo's safety level, and he could even use this to buy people's hearts. Why not?!
The Great Xia Dynasty's era name was' Divine Martial ', and Ouyang Shuo wasn't satisfied with the Divine Guards' current strength. He was looking forward to creating a truly invincible guard that would follow him to conquer the world.
The ten thousand year old stalactite might be an opportunity.
In the entire hall, there was only this small pool of stalactite, and there were no other treasures. However, on the left side of the wall, there was a flight of stairs that led downwards. It was so deep that it couldn't be seen clearly.
"Let's go!"
Ouyang Shuo led the way down the stairs.
The presence of stairs meant that there were signs of intelligent life, and it meant that they weren't in the wrong place.
The stairs indeed led downwards, and it wasn't a straight flight of stairs. The entire flight of stairs was in a spiral shape, circling around the belly of the mountain and leading downwards.
Ouyang Shuo guessed that if one looked from the outside, they would already be at the bottom of the sea. This mountain wasn't suspended on the surface of the sea, and the bottom had to be at the bottom of the sea.
This was the deep sea, and the average depth was 3,800 meters.
It was terrifying just thinking about it. The Lemurians were able to conceal their tracks on such a huge mountain, and also ensure that it wouldn't be accidentally hit by ships. Who knew what kind of black technology they used.
Ouyang Shuo's guess wasn't wrong.
The further down they went, the greater the radius of the spiral stairs. This meant that the lower the mountain went, the larger the torso. At the lowest point, it was probably no different from a small piece of land.
"Speed up!" Ouyang Shuo ordered.
The lower they went, the thinner the air. Even though the Divine Guards were well-trained, they couldn't help but feel short of breath. Only by reaching the end as soon as possible could the alarm be lifted.
If the Lemurians wanted to live in a cave, they must have other ways to ventilate it.
After walking for a full three hours, they finally saw faint flashes of blue light. It was like a dream, as if they were in an illusion.
The further down they went, the denser the blue lights became.
Finally, Ouyang Shuo saw a tall blue hall, standing far away at the end of the stairs. The originally thin air became normal, and Ouyang Shuo let out a huge sigh of relief.
When they arrived at the hall, they saw that it was a standard circle with a diameter of more than 800 meters. Above the hall was an oval-shaped dome.
The entire hall was built with a type of blue stone. The blue lights that Ouyang Shuo and the others saw were scattered from these blue stones, moving up and down in the air.
The architecture of the hall was magnificent. Almost every part of it had reliefs that were lifelike and unique. It was exuding an enchanting aura of art. It could be called a perfect masterpiece.
The entire hall was a work of art.
From this, it wasn't hard to speculate that although the Lemurians lived underground, their artistic attainments had reached a very high level.
They were a race that lived very meticulously.
Even the sculptures and buildings in Atlantis City couldn't compare to the grand hall in front of him.
And this might just be the tip of the iceberg of the Lemurian civilization. Ouyang Shuo was getting more and more curious about this mysterious civilization.
At this moment, a voice came out of nowhere.
"Fated one, welcome to the Kingdom of Lemuria!"
