Chapter 33 The Prophet's Prophecy



Chapter 33 The Prophet's Prophecy

The imaginary space connected by the Ghost Eye is an alternate dimension that does not exist in reality.

There was only boundless darkness there, inhabited by the Serpent Clan, whose Queen ruled over the Pure Vision Agama.

They are the children of the serpent god, living in the kingdom of their own deity.

Those who were thrown in by the Queen of Jingjue became desserts for the Pure Vision Agama.

The third ability of the Demon Eye is related to this space.

Cheng Feng can banish real-world objects to the imaginary space, and then retrieve them from the imaginary space at any time.

Overall, the power of this ghost eye is terrifying, in no way inferior to the bloodline of Shennong.

But the Demon Eye is not invincible; it also has a weakness: sunlight.

The blazing sun has a natural restraint on the Demon Eyes; they cannot be used at all under sunlight.

The ghost eye only unleashes its power at night.

Cheng Feng did not feel regretful about the flaw in the Ghost Eye; on the contrary, he felt much more at ease because of it.

If this were a perfect and limitless ghost eye,

He should suspect that the serpent god wasn't completely dead and had done something to him.

This unexpected joy made Cheng Feng feel much happier.

At the same time, he cursed the system in his heart: Look at the junk you gave me, and look at this ghost eye, system, aren't you ashamed!

Whether the system felt ashamed or not is unknown, but Professor Chen and the others certainly did.

"Xiao Feng, we'd like to ask you for a favor."

Cheng Feng asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"Because we didn't bring enough supplies, we can't stay here any longer."

To ensure the contents of the coffin remain intact for the next visit.

I would like to ask you to restore the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue.

Professor Chen's face showed a pleading expression.

They just tried to move the Queen's coffin lid.

However, the platform was too narrow; two people couldn't move it, and even if three people tried, there wasn't enough room for them to stand.

Therefore, they had no choice but to come and ask Cheng Feng, an injured person, for help.

"It's nothing, I'll take care of it right away."

After saying that, Cheng Feng stood up, went to the platform, and put the coffin lid back on for the Queen of Jingjue.

Seeing Cheng Feng's effortless movements, the men felt even more ashamed, making them seem like weaklings in comparison.

"Professor Chen, Miss Yang, shall we go out now, or wait a little longer?"

When Cheng Feng returned, he heard Hu Bayi asking questions.

"Aiguo and I have collected all the necessary information. If there are no problems with Xiao Yang, let's go out!"

Professor Chen responded in a soft voice.

Hu Bayi looked at Yang Xueli.

"Miss Yang?"

Hearing Hu Bayi's call, Yang Xueli snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at Cheng Feng.

It seems to be asking, "Can we go now?"

Cheng Feng sighed and said to everyone:

"That's right, Boss Yang has always felt that something is calling to her."

She was just about to follow her instincts and go look for it, but I stopped her, wanting to wait until you were all finished before we left together.

Hu Bayi nodded: "I see. Professor Chen, what do you think?"

"Let's go take a look, we might even find something unexpected!"

Professor Chen is very open-minded, and Yang Xueli is the full sponsor for this trip.

There was no reason for the archaeological team to refuse her request to go to the places she wanted to visit.

"Alright, Miss Yang will lead the way. Let's set off now."

After Hu Bayi finished speaking, Yang Xueli nodded, then took the flashlight and stepped onto the steps leading to the upper part of the stairs.

The group lined up in order, with Yang Xueli and Cheng Feng at the front, and the archaeological team members in the middle.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were positioned behind the enemy lines, each holding an AK-47.

Ten minutes later, Yang Xueli stopped in front of a cave that looked like it had been formed naturally.

"Why don't you leave?"

Cheng Feng asked.

Yang Xueli frowned: "I have a bad feeling, but the sense of calling is getting stronger and stronger."

Don't worry too much about other things, I'll take care of everything.

As he spoke, Cheng Feng gently nudged Yang Xueli, and she stepped into the passageway.

The others followed closely behind; no one wanted to fall behind in this godforsaken place.

After traveling through this passage and changing directions seven or eight times, we finally arrived at the end of the road.

"You know what, Miss Yang's intuition was really accurate; there really is a secret room here."

Hu Bayi looked around with his flashlight and immediately spotted the corpse sitting cross-legged on the stone platform.

Yang Xueli was staring at the corpse, because the feeling of being called had disappeared when she got here.

"You're here, let's go and see!"

As he spoke, Cheng Feng walked toward the corpse of the Zaglama tribe's saint and prophet.

The first thing that catches the eye is a treasure box, which is placed in front of the body.

The surface of this treasure box has four areas, each with a pattern engraved on it, which together tell a complete story.

"Professor Chen, please take a look at this."

Yang Xueli has her own understanding of the design, but she also wants to hear the opinions of experts.

Professor Chen agreed and, together with Hao Aiguo, came to the treasure box to examine it carefully.

After observing carefully, Professor Chen's eyes showed surprise.

"Xiao Yang, you must have realized it too, this is a prophecy!"

Professor Yang then pointed to one of the pictures and said:

"Look at this picture, everyone. There's a little figure standing in front of a coffin, and there's a flower blooming on the coffin."

Yang Xueli and Cheng Feng exchanged a glance.

At this point, Professor Chen continued:

"The second picture shows nine little people gathered together. Do you think it looks like us now?"

"Hey, Professor Chen, now that you mention it, it's true! There are exactly nine of us."

Fatty Wang felt goosebumps all over his body; the feeling of being seen through was very unpleasant.

The third picture shows little figures slumped over, as if something had happened.

The last image, however, shows a small figure standing in the same spot, watching the others leave.

Professor Chen glanced at everyone and continued, "We are now experiencing the second scene."

If things unfold as predicted, then something unexpected will happen.

"Let's open this box and take a look first, otherwise if something unexpected happens, we won't have a chance to open it."

Without letting everyone continue the discussion, Cheng Feng spoke directly.

Everyone agreed that this made sense, so they began to figure out how to open the treasure box.

In the end, Hu Bayi found the clue and pressed hard on a sculpture on the side of the treasure box.

After a crisp sound, the four sides of the treasure box rose up like open flowers.

The treasured contents inside were revealed.

"Why is there only one book?"

Fatty Wang was somewhat disappointed when he saw what was inside; he had thought there might be some great treasure.

"It would be even better if it were a book. If it recorded things about the ancient Western Regions, that would be a huge archaeological discovery."

Hao Aiguo couldn't help but retort, and he even squeezed forward, wanting to get closer to the parchment book.

At this moment, Yang Xueli picked up the parchment book from the treasure box, opened it, and began to examine it carefully.

Hao Aiguo couldn't help but ask:

"Xiao Yang, what's recorded inside?"
