Under Zhang Yun Feng's arrangements, they built a simple suspension bridge in the passage.
This way, they wouldn't step on those earthenware jars when passing.
However, while building the bridge, someone accidentally stepped on and shattered an earthenware jar, instantly attracting the attention of the Corpse King.
Hundreds of Corpse Kings emerged!
Fortunately, Zhang Yun Feng stepped in at a critical moment, pouring a bottle of alcohol onto them and setting them ablaze, earning a large amount of achievement points!
As for those blood-sucking mycelia, they were all burned to death with torches.
Zhang Yun Feng personally handled this matter, earning another wave of achievement points.
After the wooden bridge was built, the team reached the stone chamber inside.
Strangely, the corpses of the dozen or so Rooster-Comb Snakes he had killed had disappeared?
Zhang Yun Feng wasn't surprised, for he knew Rooster-Comb Snakes had the habit of carrying away the corpses of their companions.
As for why Rooster-Comb Snakes did this, he wasn't sure.
Everyone approached the large iron plate, observing it curiously. Soon, someone noticed the pattern.
"This is the Xiantian Bagua! These four walls represent the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the positions of the four divine beasts," Qi Tie Zui said.
Qi Tie Zui was a fortune teller who had some understanding of Bagua Zhouyi, so he recognized it at a glance.
He continued, "This large iron plate should be used to deduce things through the art of Bagua Shu Shu, ultimately obtaining an answer."
"Deduce what? What answer?" Wu Lao Gou questioned.
"I'm not sure, but I can be certain that this is an extremely important secret, otherwise, it wouldn't be hidden here at such great cost," Qi Tie Zui told everyone.
"Don't touch it for now, clear the passage first!" Zhang Da Fo Ye said.
There was a crack in front of the stone chamber. Zhang Yun Feng, holding a torch, carefully explored the path ahead.
Xiao Ge followed behind him, and the others followed closely.
This crack wasn't long. After walking a short distance, several forks suddenly appeared ahead.
These forks were formed by mountain cracks, varying in width and depth, leading to unknown destinations.
Everyone stopped, gazing at the forks.
"Which way do we go?" Huo Xian Gu asked.
"Let's take the widest one. Everyone be careful!" Zhang Yun Feng told everyone.
Thus, everyone swarmed into the widest crack.
After walking a few hundred meters, the system prompt suddenly came.
【Detected numerous ancient creatures, proceed with caution!】
Hearing the system prompt, Zhang Yun Feng immediately stopped.
Good heavens, even ancient creatures had appeared, and in large numbers! What kind of ancient creatures were they?
"Why did we stop?" Zhang Da Fo Ye looked at him in confusion.
Zhang Yun Feng simply made an excuse: "Nothing, just felt something wasn't quite right here. Everyone be careful!"
Zhang Da Fo Ye looked at the darkness ahead, his gaze firm: "Such a large cave, it's impossible for there to be only that stone chamber. Let's continue forward!"
Following his command, the team continued forward.
At this time, the crack began to slope downwards, with a considerable incline. It was quite difficult to walk, they had to grip the rock wall to descend.
After walking down another few dozen meters, a vast and enormous abyssal chasm suddenly appeared ahead, extending endlessly, its size unknown.
Inside the chasm, there was a gigantic spherical object stuck in place!
From afar, the enormous sphere seemed to be a meteorite? Its diameter must be at least a kilometer!
It had countless holes like a honeycomb, large ones with a diameter of over a meter, and smaller ones measuring two to three dozen centimeters.
Upon seeing the meteorite, everyone stopped, their expressions filled with astonishment.
The knowledgeable Qi Tie Zui exclaimed, "My heavens, this is the legendary Heavenly Stone! I can't believe that there's a Heavenly Stone within the interior of this Four Girls Mountain!"
"Eight Uncle, what's a Heavenly Stone?" one of the workers asked.
"Heavenly Stone is an ancient term, meaning a stone that falls from the sky. The modern scientific name is a meteorite," Jie Jiu Ye explained to everyone.
"Why does it look like a big honeycomb to me? It's kinda scary..." Hei Bei Lao Liu scratched his head.
"What exactly is inside this big stone?" Wu Lao Gou questioned with confusion.
His curiosity was clearly out of the ordinary, a trait that was passed down to his descendants.
"Should we go in and take a look?" Huo Xian Gu asked everyone.
"Of course we should, there might be something extraordinary inside! Otherwise, those ancient cultivators wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to come here!" Zhang Da Fo Ye said confidently.
With that, he took the lead and walked down.
Zhang Ri Shan, worried about his safety, followed closely behind.
After walking down for ten minutes, they finally reached the entrance of the large chasm, only then could they see the entire meteorite.
The meteorite had a diameter of at least 1 kilometer, stuck in the mountain crack, with an abyss of thousands of meters below.
From this, it could be deduced that the meteorite had definitely fallen from the mountaintop and become lodged inside the mountain.
Ancient cultivators had a great yearning for celestial objects.
They believed it was a divine sign, or a divine object, and so on.
So they risked their lives, climbing to the mountain peak with great hardship, and entered the interior of the meteorite.
Over thousands of years, countless people died on this mountain, but what did they ultimately obtain? No one knows.
The group was only a few dozen meters away from the meteorite.
Standing below, they were like tiny ants, giving a sense of indescribable oppression.
Zhang Da Fo Ye took out his pistol, commanding a few people in his organization, "You guys go in and scout the way, enter through this hole!"
With guns pointed at their heads, those people had no choice but to tremble as they walked towards the hole.
The others, holding flashlights, observed from outside.
The hole Zhang Da Fo Ye chose was over a meter in diameter, making it easy for people to squeeze through. The few men quickly entered.
But just a moment after entering, a scream rang out.
"Ah—"
Immediately afterwards, the other men ran out of the hole in utter terror, as if they had seen something terrifying?
"What did you see?" Zhang Qi Shan asked one of them.
However, the man seemed to have gone into shock, he didn't respond to his words and ran off as if flying.
Zhang Qi Shan didn't bother talking to him, he raised his gun and fired.
"Bang!"
After a gunshot, the man fell to the ground.
The other men were also terrified, their bodies trembling like sieves, unable to even stand steady.
"Hurry up, tell me, what exactly did you see?" Zhang Da Fo Ye rushed in front of one of them, pointing his gun at his head and demanding an answer.
"Monster—a terrifying monster!"
The man said in utter terror.
