Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Three-Headed Wise Beast

The members of the Strategy Group looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say.

A moment later, Maru asked with a trembling voice, "You saw it too?"

"What exactly is that," Tal was still captivated by the grand spectacle of the Ancient Dragon war, Gwyn’s mighty Sunlight Spear left him in awe. In the face of the Sunlight Spear, even the seemingly Invincible Immortal Ancient Dragon looked as feeble as a common fowl or dog—such power, arguably more than just Legendary!

Leon looked towards Drew, the Dwarf was the most learned among them, as he was a Magician, and an official one with a degree at that. Just the knowledge needed to pass the certification was enough to make an ordinary person dizzy.

Drew didn’t have time to pay attention to his companions, constantly stroking his beard and muttering to himself, "It’s not right, it’s not right, is history really like this..."

The history of this world had actually been lost.

Even the Elf Book Library, said to have recorded thousands of years of history, had in fact only a bit over a thousand, at most two thousand years.

It is said that a Demon King, who waged war two thousand years ago, is the root cause of the lost history, having initiated an apocalypse war that engulfed the world.

How vast was the scale of that war, how many forces participated, what were the names of the Demon King and the Hero... these things were now unknown to modern people.

All that was known was that after that war, history became blank, and the history before the war seemed to have been erased by some mysterious force. All historical books disappeared, the long-lived Wisdom Dragon Clan and the Witch Demons all vanished without a trace, and the Elf Clan was slaughtered until only clueless children remained; knowledgeable Elf Sages were turned into skewers.

Life on the continent suffered heavy casualties, and few survived. For a long time, the question of survival was a major concern. By the time people had gathered their wits to organize history, it was already too late.

Undoubtedly, the history of two thousand years ago would never be known again.

However, people had never stopped trying to seek the truth of history, and now, there is a rare object that still exists, which contains records of history.

That is the Dungeon.

Dungeons are said to date back to the Ancient Era.

Each Dungeon is said to have its own story, each truly occurring and completely a part of history. If one could gather the stories of each Dungeon, perhaps it would be possible to restore the truth of what happened back then.

Unfortunately, up to now, only a handful of Dungeons have had their stories uncovered; the rest remain a complete mystery.

People believe that even if a Dungeon undergoes some abnormal changes, no matter how drastic those changes are, the history embedded in its story will not change.

Which is why Drew thought, could what we saw at the bonfire be a history of the Ancient Era?

Oh my goodness, is it really that explosive?

The stories of other Dungeons often narrow down to documenting someone’s love and hate, the historical past of a specific race, or the legendary experiences of an individual—forming a narrow range that is simple and understandable.

Meanwhile, the Sain Dungeon directly presented a vision of the world’s birth!

Compared to it, other Dungeons suddenly seemed dull and uninteresting.

"Our world was born from flames? But that’s not right," Drew murmured to himself: "Gwyn, Izaris, Nite, the Immortal Ancient Dragon... if they are as important as shown in the visions, they should have replaced the Holy Light God, the Dark Wind Goddess, and established their own churches,"

The gods worshiped by the various churches had existed since before the loss of history, and their doctrines are a hot topic for archaeologists, such as the process of the gods’ births, etc. Unfortunately, most of the content is nonsense and is basically worthless.

The high and mighty gods wouldn’t personally explain history to humans, and even in recent decades, there have been fewer and fewer people blessed by the gods.

Oh gods, have you closed your eyes? — The last words of the previous pope of the Holy Light Church.

"How about it, got any clue?" Leon eagerly looked at Drew and asked, "Could it be that it’s really..."

Drew shook his head, stood up, and said, "Let me use the Summoning Ritual to seek inspiration from the souls of our ancestors,"

With that, he began to stagger as he started casting, muttering incomprehensible Spells. He looked more like a Shaman than a Magician.

The so-called Summoning Ritual was a magical ritual to seek help from ancestors related by bloodline. The ancestors conjured were random, with varying qualities. The soul of the ancestor would provide a word or two, which might be somewhat helpful, but most of the time, all you would get was some ambiguous sentences.

If this magic was truly effective, people would have used it to summon their ancestors to understand history long ago.

If Drew’s mind wasn’t so overwhelmed by this huge amount of information, he wouldn’t have wanted to use it either.

Not long after, he heard a strange voice by his ear, the whisper of ancestors from a distant era:

"Dead animals, tasty, roasted with fire, even tastier..."

"The rocks by the river, pick up the gray ones, it is fun to smash them against other rocks..."

Drew’s expression could no longer be contained.

Which era did I summon my ancestors from???

He disheartenedly ended the ritual, thinking perhaps he shouldn’t have used that thing from the start.

"I can’t be sure, this matter is too big and involves too much, it’s not something I can decide on my own," Drew said, looking at the campfire with complex eyes, "After getting out, I need to visit the Magic Association and report this to the president,"

Who would believe that the Sain Dungeon hides the history of the ancient times if told?

The group’s mental state was unusually excited by this video, far from their previous expressionless and cold-blooded assassin-like demeanor; their spiritual power emitted was quite substantial.

Originally, they had bought a large batch of Horror Dispelling Powder from Gong Qiying, holding onto their anger and seeking to take revenge on the Lion Ape, but they never expected this unexpected gain.

After a heated discussion for half a day, they discovered the upgrading function available at the campfire.

As expected, another round of amazement ensued.

The Strategy Group needed an even greater soul amount to level up, even the least needing Maru required more than four thousand, and Leon needed as much as ten thousand.

Even if he alone wiped out every Monster in the upper levels, he would just level up.

"Boss, you use this," Maru handed the Giant Curse Frog soul to Leon and said, "You need it more now,"

Everyone knew about that mess in Leon’s family.

Without a word, Leon gratefully used the Giant Curse Frog’s soul; everyone was so well-acquainted that there was no need to formally express gratitude.

He had already decided that he would come here daily to farm souls and gather as many as he could before setting off for home.

The information about the Flaming Straight Sword and the Little Demon Statue also mentioned the Sealing Prison, suggesting that these should be the exploration targets.

What Leon and the others didn’t expect was...

They had barely entered the middle region for less than half an hour when they already found the Little Demon Statue.

On the ground, there was a circular altar made of bricks and stones from unknown materials; the center emitted a faint glow, but there was no response when they stood on it.

Could it be connected to the statue?

Leon touched the Little Demon Stone Statue, and the following text appeared before him:

[Find and defeat three Witty Beasts, and the prison will unlock itself]

Not just text, but even simple sketches of the three Witty Beasts appeared – they were:

Bear,

Lobster,

And a large hand with many fingers.

Are these really the original Witty Beasts!?
