Chapter 8: Ancient Secrets

The hordes of prison beasts, seeing the human beings fleeing, suddenly turned into a torrent to chase and hunt the fleeing humans, and Lin Han and the woman are both evolutionaries whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, it is not difficult for them to blindly escape, after all, the number of fleeing humans is far more than the prison beasts behind them, Lin Han As long as they run in front of others, there will naturally be other people who attract the footsteps of the prison beasts to chase.

After running for more than an hour, the two of them completely shook off the pursuit of those prison beasts, this night, fleeing, fighting, and then escaping, continuous vigorous exercise, Rao is Lin Han's current physique is very different from ordinary people, and he also felt a burst of exhaustion, and the woman was also sweaty and panting.

This is a dilapidated and ruined place on the outskirts of the city, many buildings were destroyed by previous fires, but not all, Lin Han and the others found a three-story villa building, and a few jumped onto the roof.

Although he was exhausted, Lin Han was in a good mood, after all, in such turmoil and the last days, it was a miracle for him to be able to reunite with his beloved.

After staring at each other for a long time, Lin Han asked, "Mengyan, where have you been in the past two years, I ...... I've been looking for you! ”

He Mengyan's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and he choked up: "I know, I know everything about you, you look for the school, find the archives bureau, and finally make a big fuss about the school, I know all of this!" I've been following you all along, and I've known every bit of you for the past two years. ”

Lin Han and He Mengyan had just fallen in love with each other, but for some reason, He Mengyan suddenly said goodbye and disappeared without a trace, of course Lin Han was unwilling, so he asked the school to inquire in many ways, found the archives bureau to find the household registration, and even finally tore his face with the leaders of the school and made a big noise, but no matter how he looked for it, He Mengyan disappeared as if out of thin air, and as if such a person had never appeared, Lin Han also suspected that this matter was not simple, but there was no way.

"Then you ......" Lin Han looked at her puzzled.

He Mengyan wiped away his tears and said: "This matter, it's a long story, Brother Han, you know my background, our He family is one of the five major consortia in China, in fact, behind these, the He family also represents one of the five oldest families in China, these families have a long history and heritage, and know many secrets that ordinary people don't know." ”

He Mengyan, who had calmed down, looked at Lin Han tenderly and continued: "The reason why I said goodbye to you is precisely because the family finally determined the existence of this apocalyptic catastrophe two years ago! ”

"What?" Lin Han exclaimed, "You have long known that the end of the world is coming, this ...... How can it be? ”

"In our He family, there is a secret codex that has been passed down from generation to generation, locked in an ancient box as a family heirloom, in the hands of the patriarchs of the past dynasties, and left ancient precepts, and future generations should not be lightly enlightened, unless an incredible thing in the prophecy happens."

"What's the matter?" Lin Han was gradually attracted by He Mengyan's words.

"The He family has to worship the ancestors every month, and there has been a stone tablet in the ancestral hall, the stone tablet is carved with many strange characters, and it is prophesied that when one day, this stone tablet changes by itself, it will indicate the coming of a catastrophe, and at this time, the descendants of the He family should take out the codex left by the ancestors as soon as possible, and do everything in their power to prepare for the coming of the disaster."

"And on the day when my grandfather sacrificed to his ancestors two years ago, the stone tablet in the ancestral hall suddenly shone with golden light, and then the characters carved on it seemed to come to life, and they gathered into eight ancient characters on their own."

He Mengyan continued: "Grandpa has studied ancient culture quite deeply, so he immediately understood the meaning of those eight words. ”

"What was written?" Lin Han asked.

"The inscription on the stele is: The catastrophe is coming, and all beings cannot escape!" He Mengyan replied.

"The catastrophe is coming, and all living beings cannot escape." Lin Han muttered, and the shock in his heart could be imagined.

He Mengyan continued: "After the incident, Grandpa took out the ancestral codex as soon as possible, which recorded in detail the arrival of this apocalypse. ”

"The Codex says that two years after the stele warns, evil will come to the earth, and all the creatures on the earth will be in this calamity, and there is no escape, they are demons from hell, called the Hellbeasts by the ancients, and soon after the catastrophe comes, a terrible structure will appear on the earth, the Tower of Death."

"Legend has it that the Tower of Death is connected to the eighteen layers of hell, once the Tower of Death comes, the evil Prison Beast will come to the Earth through it endlessly, and once the Tower of Death appears, it will absorb the power of death on the Earth all the time, and then evolve, and each layer evolves, a more powerful Prison Beast will be born in the tower, so only at the beginning of the end of the world, when the Tower of Death is weak, it will be completely destroyed, and the source of the Prison Beast can be cut off."

"And often the Tower of Death will come down in the place where the most kills and the power of death is the strongest."

"That's what happened!" In this short day, Lin Han knew too many things that he couldn't have imagined before, such as the Book of Heaven, the Demon Hell Beast, the Stone Tablet, and the Tower of Death......

All this made Lin Han feel that this world was full of mysteries.

"Then why are you here again?" Lin Han retracted his thoughts and asked.

"In fact, our He family and the other four major families began to prepare for the arrival of the end of the world as early as two years ago, our He family used all manpower and material resources to purchase food and arms, of course, more importantly, it was to establish a secret training base to cultivate the He family's descendants and subordinates loyal to the He family, because according to the records in the codex, when the end comes, human beings will embark on a completely different evolutionary path from science and technology, which is also the only opportunity for human beings to resist the end of the world. I was asked to participate in this special two-year training, and I offered to train with me, but ...... But ......"

Speaking of this, He Mengyan showed a sneering look on her face, and then said: "However, even if the end of the world is coming, some people's arrogance and arrogance make them feel that the nobility of the He family cannot be blasphemed, they dislike you as an orphan and refuse you to participate, until the end, I forced you to die, and my grandfather made a promise, promising that as long as I insist on completing the two-year extreme training, I will take you to the He family before the end of the world, so ......"

Lin Han's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he hugged He Mengyan in his arms, unable to speak for a long time.

"It turns out that I miss more than just myself, it turns out that she has paid so much for me!"

"Is it bitter?" Lin Han asked softly in a choked voice.

"Yes! In the past two years, we have undergone physical training, wilderness survival training and combat training, each of which is trained for the limits of the human body, many times, I thought about giving up, but fortunately, I have you with me in my heart! He Mengyan said happily lying in Lin Han's arms.

"By the way, Brother Han, I came to Jiangcheng this time, in addition to looking for you, I have one more thing to do." He Mengyan said suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

"According to the records of the ancestral codex, within ten days of the opening of the apocalypse, near Feiyan Mountain ten miles away from Jiangcheng, there will be an ancient ruin, grandpa said, the ancient ruins of the past dynasties are the battleground of evolutionaries, and the codex does not say what is there, just that there are many things that are helpful to human evolution, so grandpa asked me to lead the team to Jiangcheng in advance, however, no one thought that the doomsday broke out a few days earlier than expected."

"Ancient ruins? I know that Feiyan Mountain is not far from here, but it is not easy for the two of us to go there! Lin Han said.

"Then I won't go, as long as I'm with you, we'll be anywhere!"

In the past, He Mengyan faded out of the dust, like a fairy in the mortal dust, and never confided in Lin Han, but after two years of separation, the thoughts of each other had already turned into a fire, which ignited her calm heart.

"If there are really ancient ruins, it's better to go there, such an opportunity can't be missed." Suddenly, Dudu suddenly jumped onto Lin Han's shoulder from the side and said.

"This is ......" He Mengyan was startled and asked, pointing to Dudu.

Next, Lin Han also told He Mengyan about his experience, and He Mengyan knew that Lin Han had not only become an evolutionary, but also had such an adventure.

Afterwards, Dudu gave Lin Han a big surprise, it turned out that Dudu took advantage of the time when humans and prison beasts were fighting, and secretly collected more than fifty first-order yuan crystals, although these yuan crystals entered its stomach, but Lin Han did not feel wasted at all.

"By the way, Dudu, you just said that you want us to go to the ancient ruins?" Lin Han asked.

"That's right, every relic is the last moment of the extinction of the previous civilizations, the precious treasures left by the mighty for the people of the future generations, if you get these treasures, it will be of great benefit to your evolutionary path, Lin Han, you must understand that the end is coming, the road of evolution is opened, you will not be allowed to retreat or escape, only those who continue to be strong, surpassed, and strong can survive in the last days, otherwise, once they stagnate, it is like sailing against the current, evolution is to act against the sky, if you don't progress, you will die!" Dudu said solemnly.

After listening to Dudu's words, Lin Han and He Mengyan were silent all of a sudden, and after a while, Lin Han's eyes finally became firm, and he said: "Thank you, Dudu, don't worry, the ancient ruins, I will go!" ”

…………

Lin Han took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was now close to midnight, and the fire in the city had not been extinguished, it seemed that he was afraid that it would burn for a few days and nights, and the villa at the feet of Lin Han and He Mengyan was already very close to the place where the fire was in the city, as if there was a scorching sensation in the air, so the two chatted for a long time, and there were no prison beasts to disturb them.

After becoming evolutionaries, Lin Han and He Mengyan recovered relatively quickly in both mental and physical strength, so the two of them were not sleepy at all, but after fighting and fleeing for so long, they were a little hungry and couldn't stand it, they found a lot of food in this villa, and then devoured a full meal, and then left the villa.

After carefully identifying the direction, Lin Han took He Mengyan and rushed towards the direction of Feiyan Mountain.
