Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"There's no need. This place isn't actually that dangerous. But we need to improve our willpower. To be honest, if we really encounter supernatural forces, we need to be highly focused. Even wearing armor won't help."

Since that was the case, they went straight into the ruins. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they found many statues inside.

These statues all have a third eye, making them look like Erlang Shen descended to earth.

"This third eye is considered the root of wisdom, meaning that people in super-powered civilizations all possess this root of wisdom. Once they cultivate to a certain level, this third eye will open, which we call the Heavenly Eye."

Chen Tianfei explained. It turned out that after returning to his territory, he spent three nights cramming on relevant knowledge and had gained some understanding of prehistoric civilizations.

According to him, the statues in the ruins prove that they have found the right place.

"However, we also need to be prepared, because prehistoric humans might actually appear in these ruins."

"I don't think it's possible."

Xu Jiajia shook her head directly; she had seen relevant information in the library.

"Have you ever heard of live burial? This place is actually more like a mausoleum, so we have to be extra careful here."

Fortunately, all the dangerous locations were marked on the map. They quickened their pace and walked further in, passing through the statue area, where a staircase appeared.

The staircase seemed bottomless, so they turned on their flashlights and slowly began to descend. But the staircase was ridiculously long.

"Just how deep is this underground?"

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally reached the actual entrance. There stood a massive stone gate, tightly shut.

"Everyone, please wear masks."

The situation inside was unclear, so based on the clues they had gathered from their previous three explorations, they began trying to open the door.

Chen Tianfei was indeed very capable this time. Through the analysis of the previous three clues, he had a thorough understanding of the map.

"Look, there's a pattern on the gate; inside are the four ancient mythical beasts. Do you remember the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise we encountered before?"

If nothing unexpected happens, these are very likely the four true divine beasts from the mythology of the Great Shang Dynasty.

"Wait a minute, if that's the case, after all four armories have been found, isn't there also a central area?"

Have you heard of Huanglong Island?

Huanglong Island is said to be located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean and is now used as an affiliated institution of the Federation. The island has beautiful scenery and attracts a large number of tourists every year.

"However, there is a place on Huanglong Island that is off-limits to the locals. They are well aware that they are guarding the core of a giant yellow dragon. As for what this core is, no one knows at the moment."

In other words, the island they are on now is the last one.

"In order, the first island is the Endless Island, which is also called Azure Dragon Island. This island, as the beginning, brought us real conventional weapons, which are still very important to humanity today."

After hearing what Chen Tianfei said, the couple understood that all the efforts they had made from the beginning were necessary.

"Then the three islands behind them are the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, right?"

"Yes! The island we are on now is Xuanwu Island."

I never imagined there were so many stories behind this. It seems they really did find the final clue.

"What is certain is that the island is called Xuanwu because Xuanwu also has another name, Gui (turtle), and there are many mysterious things about Gui."

So, based on the current situation, they tapped the four pictures in the order they appeared. Sure enough, after tapping all four pictures, a yellow dragon pattern appeared in the middle.

"Wait, don't move."

A short while later, the yellow dragon pattern began to move on its own, and then the door opened directly.

"So that's how the code was set up."

Once inside, they discovered that the place followed a certain pattern, and the overall structure resembled the internal structure of a tortoise.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was not an armory at all.

"Wait, why does this place look so empty, yet it's piled high with books? Are we supposed to learn all sorts of knowledge here?"

However, as soon as they entered and opened one of the books, they discovered something shocking. The book contained cultivation methods related to superhuman civilizations.

"I understand. All the records about super-powered civilizations and supernatural phenomena are hidden in these books. In other words, this place is simply an ocean of books."

Upon closer inspection, they were indeed greatly astonished. This place not only contained books, but also many servers they had never seen before.

These servers have never been turned on.

“I see, this place is like a giant portable hard drive. In other words, if we could bring all this back to the company, our computing power could increase dramatically. But the problem is, I’m not sure if our computers can handle it.”

Chen Tianfei immediately checked the data and found that taking such a large server away directly was not an easy task.

"I have an idea. Since we can't take it directly right now, we can connect to the internet and transmit the data via satellite. However, this will be relatively slow. As everyone knows, the fastest transmission method is still fiber optic."

But he also knew that using fiber optics required internet access. If Atlantis intercepted it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Let's use the most basic method and bring all this equipment back. We have plenty of transport vehicles anyway, so we can make good use of them, can't we?"

Jiang Chuan's idea was simple: why not take this opportunity to bring these things back and store them in a secret warehouse for research?

However, Xu Jiajia felt that things were not that simple.

"Logically speaking, this should be the last of the four islands. Is it really that easy? There's no challenge at all? That's unlikely."

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Jiajia finished speaking, they discovered a strange box under the books.

The box appears to be locked with a very important lock.

"Wait, if I'm not mistaken, this lock can't be opened by force, otherwise it might trigger a mechanism. Let me check the map first."

After carefully examining the map, Chen Tianfei realized he was caught in a strange loop. If he wasn't mistaken, they might be about to face an even more astonishing discovery.

"I understand what's going on."

Only then did Chen Tianfei begin to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Boss, come take a look. This lock has a combination, and it uses prehistoric numerals. The key problem is, we know nothing about these characters."

Left with no other option, they turned on a translator, but even the translator was helpless against this type of text.

"If we can't understand these characters, can we use image recognition to decipher them?"

“No! If we use image recognition, we'll be helpless if something goes wrong. We don't even know how many chances the lock will give us.”

At that moment, Xu Jiajia suddenly remembered something.

"I remember hearing about a lock called the Yellow Dragon Lock when I was in school. It was very peculiar, always covered in characters I'd never seen before. And, this kind of lock was generally used by prehistoric humans. Wait a minute, can someone trigger my memory?"

“I can!” Xu Jiajia then sat down on the ground next to her. After getting ready, Chen Tianfei immediately used the miniature robot to scan her brain.

Taking this opportunity, he opened his laptop and began transferring data.

Before long, all the memories related to this part appeared in the computer and were digitized, so they had a complete understanding of Huanglong Lock.

"These are the words. My goodness, your library is a treasure trove, it has everything."

Chen Tianfei was shocked.

"I'm really out of options. Even though we're just police academy graduates, you have to understand that sometimes solving cases requires a broad knowledge base, which is why our school's library is so important. And I love going to the library to browse all kinds of books."

During her four years of university, apart from training and classes, Xu Jiajia spent almost every day in the library, except when exams were approaching.

So while others were busy dating or improving themselves during those four years, Xu Jiajia became a knowledgeable policewoman thanks to her extensive reading.

It can be said that Xu Jiajia has created a remarkable feat; she has read almost every book in the library.

"My God, sister-in-law, you're amazing!"

By this time, her understanding of the Yellow Dragon Lock was quite clear. Xu Jiajia immediately recalled some related discussions she had seen before and became very interested in cracking the code. She then walked up to the Yellow Dragon Lock.

"Don't worry, everyone step back. Leave the task of cracking this code to me."

Having been a police officer, Xu Jiajia was naturally adept at deciphering codes, not to mention her considerable reasoning abilities.

But the two men were still worried, after all, the opportunity might only come once, and Xu Jiajia would need to use a computer to compare the data to determine what to do next.

About an hour later, everything was clear. Xu Jiajia immediately took action, and sure enough, the lock opened.

"My God, you're amazing! I've really married a gem!"

"You only realize how capable I am now? At first, you didn't like me and thought all I could do was cook and take care of the kids," Xu Jiajia teased.

"You two have gone too far. I'm still single. It's not appropriate for you to show off your love in front of me, is it?"

Just as they were joking around, the box opened automatically, revealing a perfectly intact book inside. But upon opening it, they discovered there was no text inside.

"what happened?"

"Don't worry!"

Just as Chen Tianfei was about to throw the book away, Xu Jiajia quickly stopped him.

Then they discovered a huge object, and upon closer inspection, they were all stunned to find that it was a new pattern they had never seen before.

"These patterns seem to be arranged in a certain order. If I'm not mistaken, we need to take down all of these patterns. That might be the real reason we came here."

"Don't tell me you're going to tear this book up."

"No need for that. We can take the book back, scan the patterns, and then use a computer to synthesize them. That should be enough to find the secret behind it. I think that's why we came to Xuanwu Island this time, right?"

However, just as they were about to leave, the door suddenly closed again.

"What's going on? Are we trapped?" Xu Jiajia asked in surprise.

Suddenly, the entire space lit up.

It turned out that the moment the book was opened, all the mechanisms were activated, revealing all the secrets of the space to them. The countless "eyes" they had never seen before filled them with a sense of unease.

"To be honest, people with trypophobia would probably find it unbearable here. What's going on with so many 'eyes' staring at us?"

Just then, one of the many "eyes" suddenly appeared in front of them.

It turns out that these "eyes" are all man-made, and the light they provide is actually sunlight refracted from the outside world.

Closing the gates means the entire island can now receive sunlight.

"I understand, now is the crucial moment."

Following the direction indicated by the floating "eye," they arrived in front of a huge statue. Upon closer inspection, the statue resembled a king.

Although it was just a stone statue, the "king" unexpectedly stood up. At the same time, a huge crown appeared behind the statue.

"What? You want me to take this back with me?"

The crown floated in the air, looking very magnificent.

Seeing that they remained unmoved, the crown slowly and naturally landed on Jiang Chuan's head.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chuan was also puzzled.

But then, his eyes were filled with many sights he had never seen before, and at the same time, a strange brainwave guided him to a certain location.

"Are you OK?"

Jiang Chuan was actually fully conscious. After he sat down, he noticed that the surrounding environment was beginning to change.

Many stone statues rose from the ground and appeared before them. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the place had suddenly transformed into the appearance of a palace.

After witnessing this scene, the two gradually realized that Jiang Chuan was also the chosen one. What was the significance of the appearance of these stone statues when he sat directly on the throne? And at this crucial moment, three chests of treasure suddenly appeared before them.

"Isn't this the reward of a king?"

Xu Jiajia then came to her senses.

"It is said that whoever sits on the throne will receive a gift from the king, but what exactly is this? Is it really gold and silver treasures?"

They eagerly opened the box, and sure enough, it was glittering with gold, filled with all sorts of dazzling gold ornaments.

"There's something in here."

Guided by the crown, Jiang Chuan came up with a new idea, which astonished everyone. They searched the box carefully and indeed found three unusual diamonds.

The moment the three diamonds were in hand, they immediately began to sparkle, pointing directly at the magnificent Bagua formation.

After the Bagua formation, the true forms of the four divine beasts were revealed, with the enormous yellow dragon among them being particularly striking.

"My God, this is absolutely incredible!"

Xu Jiajia marveled at how advanced the technology of prehistoric humans had become.

"According to the Crown's instructions, we must take all of these away now, store them at home, and not allow them to circulate in the market. These are all for my son."

"what?"

This couple never dreamed it would end like this. (End of Chapter)
