Chapter 363: Chapter 52: Do we have generals who are afraid of their wives in Great Tang? (Mysterious Island completed with 9000 Chapters)

The trio held their torches and continued forward, soon finding the opened large door.

The door was a diamond-shaped metallic construction, five meters high and over three meters wide. The entirety of the door appeared black, with orderly patterns etched onto the surface.

Bizarrely, it seemed as though the door had been forcefully broken open from the inside, a hole over twenty centimeters thick appearing at the center of the door.

Obviously, it was a consequence of the gate being violently opened from within.

Once they entered, they were confronted by a rather strange sight.

Though the island was inhabited by cannibalistic natives, this place showed signs of civilization.

Underneath their feet were some material kind of flooring. Despite the passage of time, one could still vaguely see its regular contours and size.

Dust covered the walls, and when Li Changhe knocked against one, he was greeted with a noise resembling a metal collision.

He lifted his gaze to the ceiling and held his torch upwards - revealing several objects similar to light tubes.

On both sides of the room lay the fragments of broken cultivation pods while a two-meter tall Cicada Chrysalis Jade Statue sat in the center.

Li Changhe frowned. This cave indeed showed several signs of human intervention, a major one being the large metal door.

Given the natives’ primitive state - to the point where they couldn’t even use tools - expecting them to have created such things was surely too demanding.

However, the most peculiar thing must have been that jade statue.

Calling it a jade statue wasn’t accurate... rather, it was a jade-colored cicada chrysalis.

Because it appeared to still be alive in a way, occasionally leaking blood from its jade-like surface onto the floor.

The pool of blood quickly soaked into the splits on the ground in a manner that suggested intent.

Blood also emerged from the cracks, defying gravity as it spread onto the jade figure.

So that must have been the pool of blood that Li Changhe had noticed earlier.

Was it feeding?

Was it some kind of living creature?

A member of the Demon Beast Species? Fantasy Species? But there didn’t seem to be any hierarchical pressure?

Or was it what Cangyue Ming referred to as a secret treasure?

Li Changhe turned his head to look at Cangyue Ming.

"Of the over three hundred secret treasures we have recorded, there isn’t one of this type." Cangyue Ming responded in the [Friends] chat, "There is no hierarchical pressure, so it’s likely a dead object. The chance that it’s a secret treasure is quite high."

"What about the Moon God? Did you learn anything in the prequel mission?" Li Changhe was forced to inquire about the Moon God in the [Friends] chat, "Given the circumstances, there’s no need to hide anything now."

The Moon God hesitated momentarily before responding, "The prequel mission that my alliance completed involved deciphering some sort of code at an observatory within a snowy mountain. While they were deciphering the code, they gleaned that a certain mysterious object had been sent to an island from their fragmented clues. As a result, they initiated the Mysterious Island mission. If you want more concrete information, I’m afraid I can’t give any."

He Feng and his team were near the jade statue. Upon seeing Li Changhe and the others enter, they motioned for the trio to come over.

Since Li Changhe had returned to his original body, to prevent his face from being revealed, he put on the Bronze Mask and the Mountain Pattern Armor.

As the trio approached them, their eyes scanned the two remaining enemy [Players].

A young man among them had an injured shoulder. Both of his arms hung limp at his sides, clearly having had their joints dislocated.

Noticing the bronze-masked figure’s gaze on him, he nodded and greeted them - a surprisingly familiar demeanor.

This must be Paperman Zhang, the enemy’s high-energy [Player].

He lured the wild men to attack the camp of the Great Tang, somehow persuading Ye Gucheng to take action.

But he was subsequently subdued by the well-prepared He Feng and Father Xia.

The other was a masked woman, dressed in tight clothes with a black robe.

She was the assassin [Player] who had been sandwiched by Li Changhe and the Moon God on the large rock.

Her strength was considerable and her skills were troublesome.

But her current injuries were severe, and Li Changhe could see that her limp arm was unnaturally twisted - a clear indication of multiple fractures. The Moon God’s blade had shattered her arm.

About ten minutes ago, she had intended to forcibly investigate the deep pit.

Unfortunately, Ye Gucheng didn’t find what he wanted here and left. Moreover, Snow Shadow had fled and Volga had been killed.

A ratio of 4 to 2 in fighting strength further sapped their resolve to continue playing a hand.

With two injured, no waves can be raised in this situation anyway.

Fearing they would successfully use the [Escape Coin], causing the instance to end prematurely, He Feng reached a compromise with them.

They are allowed to take a share of the benefits. The penalty for the mission failing was a reduction in all attributes for a certain period of time, not a death penalty.

This would seem like the best option for them. If they provoked another conflict, they wouldn’t mind killing one and crippling the other first. After all, Father Xia watched them intently all the while.

Seeing the flickering light of the Bronze Mask and the Mountain Pattern Armor slightly stained with spots of blood, Father Xia let out a harsh laugh, "Very good, those who injure the soldiers of the Great Tang must pay in blood. Are there any survivors? Papa will clean up for you."

"No need to worry, none were spared," came the low voice from behind the Bronze Mask, which made the corner of Paperman Zhang’s mouth twitch.

He heard from He Feng that the Second World War forces had been obliterated tonight. But when the man dressed in the Mountain Pattern Armor in front of him said those words, he could still feel the strong scent of blood in the language.

Did he really kill everyone with his own hands? Even the [Black Palace Players] behind them were wiped out. Who is this tough character? Plus this guy seems...like he appeared in the video from the Yanyun incident? Paperman Zhang was a little uncertain.

After a few exchanges with Xia Wu, Li Changhe turned his head and asked He Feng, "How’s the progress? What is this thing?"
