"Are you suggesting that they also want to become gods?" Shao Jianfeng said:
"You’ve been reading too many online novels."
"Don’t be so quick to dismiss me. Who can say for sure what’s happening on the island?"
Zhao Yunhu said:
"Perhaps they use these snakes for experiments, or maybe eat them, thus representing the ultimate power of monarchy."
After a pause, Zhao Yunhu continued:
"But I think, in that era, they wouldn’t have had so many snakes, and they could control them somehow, so even passing through this door wouldn’t get them bitten."
Listening to Zhao Yunhu, it seemed to open a new line of thought for the others.
Perhaps it really was possible.
"I don’t think so."
Zhang Chaoyue said:
"As a totem of the tribe, even a monarch is unlikely to do such a thing."
"There’s no point in discussing this now."
Lin Yi looked around and didn’t find anything noteworthy.
"If there are no other discoveries, let’s prepare to continue and not waste time here."
"Understood."
Past the Snake Cave.
The group continued walking forward for about half an hour.
The path grew increasingly narrow.
The men had to hunch, and the women had to lower their heads.
The narrow path stretched for hundreds of meters.
Soon, it widened again.
"Boss, there seems to be another room ahead."
The group sped up.
They entered the room where Zhao Yunhu was.
Compared to the previous warehouse, this area was much larger.
But it was filled with eerie things.
Many hook-like objects covered the ceiling.
Under the hooks were corpse after corpse.
But they were long since weathered, crumbling at a touch.
"These hooks should be used to bring up the bodies."
Lin Yi spoke softly:
"You could even say this is a warehouse, where the hanged people were their experimental materials."
No one spoke, each imagining the scenes in their minds.
A collective shiver ran through them.
"Let’s go; there’s nothing noteworthy here."
Gradually, the group backed out of the room.
They continued forward.
The path ahead grew wider and wider.
Not far along, they saw a vast circular clearing.
As large as a basketball court.
Standing over three meters tall.
A massive stone chamber emerged, giving the feeling of having found an underground palace.
The moss-covered stone slabs bore the marks of time.
Everyone took out their flashlights, illuminating other areas.
On the wall directly in front of them stood a massive stone table.
Over ten meters long, two meters wide, and about twenty centimeters thick.
Quietly standing there.
Like an offering altar.
Having completed numerous missions, Lin Yi had a certain understanding of these matters.
