Chapter 1162 “Another Miracle (5)”

Subconsciously, Bai Yan reached down with her hands to protect the fetus in her stomach against this borderline hostile sensation.

“What the hell is this place?” Taking slow measured steps in order to avoid traps that might be hidden from her view, her footstep was resonating with eerie crispness that echoed along this passageway.

“Forbidden grounds for demon beasts.” These were the words she saw sketched along the passage wall after walking for a while.

Blood? How much does the master of this underground valley hate demonic beasts? First is not allowing their kind to enter this part of the valley, then it’s this sentence etched along with blood.

Ignoring the strange writing, Bai Yan continues to walk forward and soon came before another entrance. Carefully extending her hand, she pushes the door open and was immediately blasted with the sight of a wide hall littered with stone statues.

It’s an odd scene for sure. She could see all of these sculptures were of various demonic beasts in their animal form. Some recognizable according to her own knowledge of things – for example the bone quill dragons back in the Holy Domain was among this group – but many were so foreign to Bai Yan that she could barely make heads or tails of their origin. Then there was the human sitting on the throne chair elevated at a higher point.

“Who is this person?”

Despite not knowing if the sculpture was male or female due to the lack of facial features, Bai Yan could still tell the original person must be a prideful individual with the way it was carved out. The angle of that featureless face, it’s the way someone stares down at those beneath themselves, just like how Bai Yan and Di Cang does it when confronted with those they deem insignificant.

“I see now, this sculpture is probably the original master or mistress of this place. The person hates demonic beasts so he deliberately sculpted these ancient creatures in a kneeling position to showcase his dislike of them.”

The theory was a sound one considering everything she’s witnessed thus far, it’s just that why would someone abhor a racial group to this extent?

“It can’t be…. did a demonic beast rape him or her before?”

Looking back at her own experience, this was the only idea that Bai Yan could come up with. After all, she herself did rape Di Cang during their first encounter and made the demon king abhor her to the point he hunted herself down years later. Other than that, what else could make one dislike another group to this level?

“Whatever grudge this person has is not important, I have to find a way out of this place first.”

Retracting her attention away from the sculptures, she scans around in search of any out of the ordinary item or feature. Immediately, her gaze locked onto a book cabinet in the corner of the room.

“That…”

Beaming with light, she moved with quick haste towards it and grabbed for the suspicious looking handle that’s sticking out between the shelves. With an audible click, a small compartment slid open and bounced out a book.

It’s very dust, bleached yellow due to age, but Bai Yan couldn’t be anymore happy after reading the title of the book in her hand.

“This… it’s an alchemy book?”

Back in the previous life on earth, she only got her hands on a alchemy book that taught her knowledge up to the tenth grade materials. As for what comes afterwards, she was like the rest of the people in this world, simply said, she didn’t have a clue until this day!
