Chapter 3080: Chapter 3082: Major Discovery

"Stop standing around, let’s get to work."

Lin Jingzhan called out, and the members of both teams began moving the bricks to prepare for opening the door.

Since they recorded the movement path of the stones before leaving, this time it was much easier. Lin Yi didn’t even need to assist; they just had to follow the same movement path as before.

Even so, it took more than half a day to finally open the Stone Gate.

With the puzzle completed, the two stone doors slowly swung open. Leaving behind people to guard outside, the remaining members ventured once more into the relics.

Compared to the last time, the group’s actions were no longer as cautious as before.

Soon, they passed through the shattered Mirror Path and entered the passageway.

Through the winding tunnel, they reached the cavern once again.

Despite the passing of a long time, due to the sealed environment, the corpses hadn’t decomposed; everything was just as they left it.

Song Jinmin walked up to the stone slab and knocked on it with his finger.

"With the Giant Lizard’s strength, it should easily push it open, yet it’s unmoved. It seems this stone slab is unusual."

"The source of the magnetic field must be it," said Lin Yi.

"Otherwise, the native corpses couldn’t have been preserved for so many years."

"Let’s study this later. Prepare the bait and see its effect," said Lin Jingzhan.

"Alright."

The group took out the bait from their bags, divided it roughly into three parts, and threw one part in.

After throwing it in, they left a gap in the stone slab for observation instead of closing it completely.

As soon as the bait was thrown in, sounds emerged from below.

Roaring and hissing continued nonstop, but only for a short while. Within a few minutes, the sounds gradually diminished; you needed to concentrate to hear them.

The group pointed their searchlights down into the cellar.

They saw many Giant Lizards writhing below, but before long, their lives came to an end.

Standing behind the group, Lin Yi watched silently with no expression on his face.

In that moment, he realized he was merely a cold-blooded invader.

Relying on ruthless slaughter to claim their home.

All things have spirits.

Lin Yi felt like he was a mere executioner.

About ten minutes later, the first batch of Giant Lizards had been poisoned to death.

From above, they clearly saw them lying motionless on the ground, even with black blood oozing from their mouths.

But soon, faint footsteps approached from afar, gathering beneath the stone slab.

Because some food remained, the newly arriving Giant Lizards reacted the same after eating the leftovers.

They didn’t struggle long before completely dying.

However, the number of Giant Lizards in the cellar was more than the group had imagined.

Every time they thought all the Giant Lizards were dead, another wave appeared soon after.

But it was obvious that their numbers had significantly decreased.

To improve the effect, the group threw in more bait.

After half a day, there was no longer any movement below.

After a discussion, they decided it was safe to go down and explore.

Leaving four people to guard above, the rest followed Lin Jingzhan and Moon down slowly.

The high-powered searchlights illuminated the Giant Lizards’ corpses; the massive creatures lay densely in different positions, like a scene from hell.

But just then, everyone stopped in their tracks.

There, they saw an even more terrifying giant.

Lying quietly on a patch of empty ground.

Surrounded by Giant Lizards’ corpses, the clearing remained pristine.

Like a sacred ground that no Giant Lizard dared to step upon.

But what truly startled them wasn’t the clearing itself but the enormous creature upon it.

Stretching over thirty meters long, even the thinnest part of its body was thicker than a human’s waist.

Like a Giant Python lying on the ground.

Yet it had wings; the wings weren’t fully spread, and a single wing spanned over ten meters.

What terrified them most was its head, resembling a wolf with massive jaws, unlike the flatness of a snake, creating a discordant impression.

The colossal creature before them struck every person with awe.

While other creatures might stretch the imagination, this monster was beyond reach.

"Is this really a creature meant to exist on Earth?"

Luyu Teahouse exclaimed.

No one else spoke, not knowing how to reply.

Despite the concept that any creature could appear on Tilia Island in their minds, this bizarre monster didn’t allow them to comfort themselves with that thought.

It defied the boundaries of thought, similar to the first time they saw the stone door’s bricks.

Tilia Island in its truth made them feel small once again.

"Let me try. If nothing goes wrong, it should be dead."

The speaker was a member of Poker. Holding a throwing knife, he aimed it at the monster under the spotlight and threw it.

Clang—

The knife hit the monster but made a crisp sound, failing to penetrate the body, and fell to the ground.

It didn’t hurt it at all.

Though ineffective, it was clear that the monster lying there was dead.

Under Lin Jingzhan’s guidance, the group moved forward step by step with their equipment and reached the cellar.

The searchlights illuminated in all directions, surrounded by irregular rocks and soil.

Apart from the smell of blood, there seemed to be an earthy scent and a natural chill.

After a round of observation, they found nothing special other than its vast size.

It resembled an ordinary cellar.

Soon, everyone’s attention fell on the monster in the clearing.

Some people were left to maintain vigilance around to prevent any unforeseen events.

"Can you tell what it is?" Jiang Zhengnan looked at Lin Yi and asked.

Lin Yi didn’t answer immediately but looked at Li Xi from the Flame Dragon Team and Monica from Poker.

They were responsible for medical tasks within the team and had some authority on such matters.

The group huddled together, whispering opinions to each other.

"We’ve concluded this giant creature likely isn’t a natural being," Lin Yi said.

"Hmm? It’s not a natural being?"

"Yes," Lin Yi confirmed:

"Considering what we found above, this giant creature is likely an artificially engineered entity."
