"Ahem...... Phew...... Ahh!!h ”

Suddenly, there was dust on the bookshelf, mixed with Yang Qianyu's coughing.

At the same time, these movements also alarmed Li Xiang and others who were exploring in other places, and everyone gathered around, and then they saw Yang Qianyu in embarrassment.

"Hey, this is ...... What's going on? Fu Bin stepped forward to help Yang Qianyu up. Are you demolishing a house? ”

"I don't know," Yang Qianyu stretched out his hand and wiped his face indiscriminately, brushing away the dust on his face. "I seem to have inadvertently opened the door to a secret room, but it's clearly been abandoned for too long, and there's dust and grit everywhere......"

With Yang Qianyu's explanation, everyone looked at the wall that had been moved to the side, and saw that a narrow stone path appeared there, and a light source was faintly visible at the end of the stone road.

The existing light sources in the underground grotto are all torches carried by everyone, so the light source that appeared at the end of the stone path naturally attracted everyone's attention. Since this stone path was relatively narrow and could barely accommodate two people to walk, Li Xiang, who had absolute defensive skills, took the lead with a war hammer in his hand, and a few steps behind him was Yang Qianyu, who was ready to breathe fire and ready to support at any time. In such a narrow place, only Yang Qianyu's skills can be deployed in a short period of time without affecting the performance.

At the end of the stone path is a room of about forty or fifty square meters, which looks like a living room, which is simply furnished, with only a bed, a few bookshelves and cabinets, and a set of desks and chairs. There was a corpse lying on the bed, and it must have been that he died in the bed. On the desk was a bundle of blank parchment and an inkwell with a quill in it. A lantern illuminates the room with a gentle glow, but it is a hedron that clearly shows signs of polishing.

"Wow, it's actually a Xiguang lantern that uses hedron to extract energy for lighting!" After Neo followed the others into the secret room, he exclaimed in surprise at the first sight of the lantern, and then walked up quickly to take a closer look. "That's right, it's the product of ancient alchemy from the primeval period."

Li Xiang and the others were stunned when they heard Neo say the 'primeval period', and according to the knowledge they had obtained from the books they had read in their leisure time that introduced the history of the Iber world, the so-called 'primeval period' was actually a period when mankind was still in the stage of ignorance, and a race called the 'Titans' ruled the Iber world. It is said that it was a golden age when various civilizations were quite prosperous and prosperous, but that glorious era has a history of more than 10,000 years from now, and the rise of mankind is only about 2,000 years. The humans living in the world of Iber today can only rely on excavating a few remnants of the Titans of the primeval period in some ancient ruins, and feel the glorious civilization founded by the Titans in those years.

The lantern in front of him, according to Neo, is a civilian item in the primeval period, the material of the lantern is made of ordinary metal, but the groove inside the magic crystal is faintly visible in gold, red and two colors depict complex textures, these textures flow like alive with unknown luster and fluctuations. As the light on the texture flickers, the spar embedded in it glows gently, illuminating the stone chamber as if it were daylight.

"Putting such an ancient artifact in the house like this, it seems that the identity of the owner of this secret room is unusual." Neo reluctantly looked away, fearing that he would be tempted to take it for himself if he looked at the lantern again. Instead, he said to the crowd: "Let's search here and see if we can find anything valuable." ”

The crowd scattered to search the room. Yang Qianyu came to the bookshelf placed next to the desk, first observed to make sure that there was no more mechanism, and then carefully took off a scroll and began to read. The environment inside the chamber was much better than outside, and although the scrolls had been somewhat eroded over the years, most of the text on them could still be read. And what Yang Qianyu saw now was the owner of this secret room—'maybe the bones on the bed,' Yang Qianyu thought to himself—the diary-like codex recorded.

“…… Continental Calendar ...... 13th: ...... The new culture medium formula provided by the Eli Ke Cui scholars is 27 percent more efficient in proliferation than the original formula, but one of the raw materials required is ...... Grass is not available in Harudale and the surrounding counties, and it seems that we will have to talk to Mr. Harker, who is in charge of logistics, about buying it in a big way for some time to come......"

“…… 25 April: ...... Both of today's experiments failed, forcing humans to fit more limbs and replace the original bones with alchemical skeletons, and it was too difficult to keep the subjects alive during the transformation process. I admit that the idea proposed by the Vokoma scholars is indeed very innovative, but it is simply impossible to do it with the existing technology......"

“…… June ...... : The experiment was a success, as Subject '1397's arm did not exhibit rejection, and the flexibility of the alchemy skeleton was within the set parameters. It seems that with the cooperation of dark spells, it is feasible to make alchemy transformation warriors. Today, the indicators of 'No. 1397' are basically in line with the concept of the original design of the 'Abomination'......"

“…… June 19: ...... After learning that the first test subject was successful, Bishop A (like a person's name, except that only the first and last letters are visible, and the dampness in the middle is blurred) Er personally came today to observe the battle of the 'Abomination' (Subject 1397), and the two mid-level fighters were not the opponents of the 'Abomination' at all in a two-on-one situation, and the battle lasted less than a minute to determine the winner. The Bishop was very pleased with this, and after rewarding all the researchers involved, he promised to report to the Church and allocate more research funds to us......"

“…… Month...... Day: The research team has received a new research project from which we are asked to use demonic flesh to transform new warriors. After listening to his vision, I was reminded of the Demon Warrior Princesses owned by a sect active in the eastern city-state of Harogas, which is said to be human warriors implanted with demonic flesh, but for technical reasons, only women can undergo such transformations. It seems that the church leadership wants us to make similar warriors, right? But if you think about it, although the combat power of the 'Abomination' is not necessarily weaker than that of the 'Demon War Princess', no matter how you look at it, they don't look like normal human ......."

“…… December 9th: The first reformed warrior of demonic flesh and blood finally takes shape, and the 'Tyrant' project is a complete success, and the lab celebrates for a night. We have passed the message to His Excellency Bishop......"

“…… December 11th: The Bishop heard the message I sent out the other day, and today I received a reply from him, and now we will be preparing to activate the 'Tyrant' test in a week's time, and actually test the actual combat power of the 'Tyrant'. When the time comes, the bishop will come back to see for himself our results......"

“……”

There is nothing too much to delve into in the next few paragraphs, but mostly trivial things. Yang Qianyu put away the scroll and fell into deep thought after reading all the contents at a glance and ten lines.

Obviously, the author of this note is a researcher of a certain church sect in the southern city-state, and it is probably a relatively high status to see that it has an independent^ secret room. They are here to study how to use alchemy, dark magic, and monster flesh to fuse with human warriors to create super soldiers ('combat weapons' to be precise, Yang Qianyu thought). The 'abominations' that appear in the text are probably the two 'abomination corpses' that everyone encountered and eliminated earlier. The 'Tyrant Project' and the experimental subject 'Tyrant' mentioned later in the article must have been the 'Raging Corpse-Corpse Fire' that caused everyone to fall into a bitter battle several times. And there is no description of the experiments and other related scientific processes in the journal, so there must have been something that went wrong during that actual combat test, and this may be the reason why the underground cavern laboratory was abandoned......

……

On the other side, when Fu Bin was examining the corpse on the bed, he found a long iron box in the corpse's arms. He carefully pulled out the long tin box and opened it, and found that inside was a parchment scroll with a text scribbled on it:

“…… The experiment failed...... The tyrant was not controlled at all, and when the staff was ready to clean up after the combat test, he actually began to attack all living creatures in motion...... The spellcaster in charge of controlling it was smashed into meat sauce with a punch before the restriction charm planted in its mind could activate...... We unleashed a few 'Abominations' in an attempt to suppress the Tyrant, but the disparity was so great that the 'Abominations', who were twice as large in size, were torn to pieces by the Tyrant in just a few rounds. What's even more terrifying is that the tyrant seems to have some power to manipulate the abomination. In just a few moments, the remaining abominants broke out of our control and went after us...... The bishop fled with his henchmen, but the tyrant seemed to be in hot pursuit of all living things, and people were constantly dying...... The gate is sealed! After escaping with his henchmen, the Bishop guy didn't hesitate to activate the laboratory's self-destruction circle! I've tried my best to sabotage the follow-up operation of the circle and finally avoid the fate of being buried alive after the collapse of the laboratory, but the circle at the gate was the first to be activated, and now it has long since collapsed into ruins, and the rest of the people can't escape...... I hid back in the vault, which had been built by the lab builder to point out that I was using my power. No one knows but me...... Hehe, but I'm afraid this will be my resting place now...... I'm really unwilling......"
