C2 Undecayed Cadaver

The mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, and was ancient and verdant. It seemed to have a heavenly charm to it, and was brimming with a hazy and mysterious aura.

"What the hell! This Incense Furnace Mountain is way too big!"

Li Chao cursed. After walking for a few hours, he still could not find any signs of the peak. The dense forest covered the sky, and he could not even see the sky when he raised his head.

"Darling, we can't be unable to leave, can we?"

Wang Yu revealed a worried expression. Her expression was a bit nervous, and she tightly grabbed onto Li Chao's arm.

The moment she finished speaking, Li Chao immediately shook his head and spat out a few times. He even muttered: "Pah pah pah …" "A child's words can never be spoken, but the wind blows …"

"Don't worry, we'll head in the same direction. We'll get out eventually!" Chu Chen said.

After a short rest, they continued to move forward, shuttling back and forth in the dense forest to see if they could solve the problem of getting lost.

It was two o'clock at the moment, and the burning sun was shining down on the land. Luckily, Chu Chen and the other three were in the forest, so they couldn't feel the sun's heat.

Even so, they could still feel the heat. They were sweating profusely, as if they were in a steamer. The heat was unbearable.

Chu Chen led the way, and Xia Xin followed closely behind, moving through the dense weeds. At this moment, they were all drenched in sweat and extremely nervous.

Dong!

Suddenly, a loud sound came from the front. Chu Chen's feet stomped on the air, and he fell into a hole covered in weeds, disappearing from Xia Xin and the other two's sight.

"Brother Chu Chen!"

In a split-second, Xia Xin was startled. Her beautiful face lost all color as she pounced forward, staring at the entrance of the cave. At the same time, Li Chao and Wang Yu also hurriedly went forward and stared at the hole.

This was a huge hole covered in weeds. Inside the rubble, the inside was pitch black, and it was impossible to see just how deep it was.

"Brother Chu Chen!"

Xia Xin shouted, tears in her eyes. However, the only response she got was endless echoes.

"Ah Chen!"

Li Chao shouted as well. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead. His heart was filled with anxiety.

"I'm going down to find Brother Chu Chen!" Xia Xin's expression was sluggish, and she was about to rush into the hole, but she was stopped by Li Chao and Wang Yu at the same time.

"Xia Xin, calm down. What we need to do now is to quickly leave the mountain of censers and find someone to save Chu Chen. We can't save Chu Chen by ourselves!" Li Chao said loudly.

"..."

At this time, Chu Chen had completely lost consciousness. He was lying at the bottom of the hole, enveloped in endless darkness.

After half an hour, Chu Chen regained a bit of consciousness. He struggled to open his eyes and discovered that his surroundings were pitch black. There was only a tiny speck of light like a star shining with a weak light.

Swish!

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became bright. The walls were inlaid with transparent gems that emitted a hazy glow, illuminating the entire region.

Through the light, Chu Chen finally saw the cave clearly. What appeared in front of him was a stone path that resembled a passageway. On both sides of the stone wall, there were many different kinds of gems embedded. They circulated with a faint radiance, illuminating this place.

"What is this place?"

Chu Chen slowly got up. There were many wounds on his body, and traces of blood could be seen. He felt pain.

He continued along the only path, occasionally checking out his surroundings. Other than the hazy light, there was nothing else in the spacious stone path.

There was only silence, time seemed to have stopped. Chu Chen could only hear his footsteps and his heartbeat.

Suddenly, Chu Chen saw a stone door in front of him. It had been covered with dust for who knows how many years.

Chu Chen slowly walked over and placed his palms on the stone door, gently pushing.

Creak!

The stone door let out a sound and slowly opened. Dust fell and scattered in the air, making Chu Chen cough a few times. He felt like he was choking.

"Holy sh * t!"

When the stone door completely opened, Chu Chen saw the scenery in front of him. He took a few steps back and his eyes widened.

Behind the stone door, there was a corpse. It had a head full of hair and its upper body was bare, its bulging muscles brimming with explosive power. An ancient beast skin covered an important area below the waist, and a thick layer of dust covered the body.

If it was only a corpse with white bones, Chu Chen would not have felt anything. However, the corpse that was lying there was clearly undamaged. Its skin was a bronze color and it was slightly sallow.

In addition, the corpse did not lose any of its moisture. It was not as stiff as a dried corpse, just like a living person.

This made Chu Chen wonder, was this a living person or a dead person?

In the end, after seeing the corpse covered in dust, Chu Chen was certain that this was a dead man, and how long had it been since he died?

"Judging from his clothes, he shouldn't be someone from the ancient times, right?"

Chu Chen was surprised. The beast skin clothes only covered an important area below the waist, it was very similar to the legendary ancient people.

Before he finished speaking, Chu Chen revealed a shocked expression. If what he thought was true, then it would be too shocking. The first natives had lived for five or six thousand years, and their bodies hadn't decayed yet. Perhaps even the antiseptic techniques of the twenty-first century wouldn't be able to achieve such an effect.

Chu Chen slowly approached the ancient corpse and observed it closely. The ancient corpse's eyes were closed, hair was disheveled, and its body was covered in a thick layer of dust. Other than having no life force, it was no different from a normal person.

Behind the stone door was a stone room. They had reached the end of the room, and there was no way out.

Inside the stone room, besides the ancient corpses, there was also a stone altar.

The stone altar was circular in shape, and there were some enigmatic and difficult to understand engravings on it. It was densely packed and difficult to understand. Around the stone altar, there were a few stone inscriptions. These were all ancient vicious beasts. There were Qiong Qi, Tao Tie, Suan Ni, Pi Xiu, and so on.

For some reason, Chu Chen felt that this stone altar was not normal, it had an indescribable aura pulsating within.

"Ai, why are you still thinking so much? I think I'm going to die here! "

Chu Chen sighed, being trapped in this cave, whether he could go out and see the light of day again was a question.

"Bro, you won't feel lonely anymore. I'll be your partner!"

Chu Chen said to the uncorrupted corpse, then he fell backwards and laid down on the ancient stone altar.

"Xin Er, how are you right now? You must take good care of yourself in the future when I'm not around! "

Chu Chen silently said in his heart as he recalled the past, revealing an indescribable bitterness. He then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

If it was anyone else, with a corpse lying on the side, they would definitely not be able to sleep and Chu Chen did not think too much about it. In his opinion, his chance of getting out was not high. He would probably die here soon, what was there to fear from a dead man?

They didn't know each other when they were alive, yet they died in the same place. Perhaps, this could also be considered fate!
