The Prodigal Son

Over the next two days, the soldiers discovered several more places with writing and patterns.

However, they are all patterns with strong mythological overtones and hymns to the gods.

For example, some deities open their eyes and night turns into day.

With a wave of the god's hand, the heavens and earth changed color, and with a flick of the finger, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

These items are too heavily influenced by personal opinions and exaggerations, and can only be interpreted in a few unimportant ways. They have absolutely nothing to do with the Kowloon Pendant.

Based on these things, it can be roughly inferred that the "gods" survived for a period of time after they landed here.

During this time, the "gods" taught them some things and "bestowed" some abilities upon them.

During this time, the soldiers also clashed with the pythons that were entrenched there.

Several soldiers were injured by the python's brute force, but fortunately their injuries were not serious.

But they never found that enormous black python again.

On the fourth day, another team made another discovery.

It's located not far from the sacred pool and the altar.

Upon receiving the report, Qin Yu and his team rushed over.

This stone tablet, which appears to be an incomplete tombstone, was found by the soldiers when only a corner of it was visible on the ground.

The soldiers, hoping for a reward, dug around on a whim and actually unearthed this thing.

Nan Que'er quickly recognized the words on it.

"Experiment 9627..."

"The way of Heaven is natural, and longevity is attained..."

"Do not destroy..."

"Xuheng Reboots..."

Because the stone tablet was incomplete, the information Nan Que'er read was also intermittent.

Everyone was completely confused and had no idea what it meant.

Qin Yu frowned, his heart also filled with doubt.

Experiment No. 9627?

What the hell?

After a moment's thought, Qin Yu asked the soldiers, "Have you searched the entire area? Are there any other fragments of the stone tablet?"

"We've looked everywhere, but it's gone."

One soldier shook his head in reply.

"dig!"

Ning Huang made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice, "Use this stone tablet as the center and dig three feet into the ground around it! If this is a tombstone, the grave must be nearby! There might be burial objects inside!"

"That makes sense!"

Qin Yu nodded slightly and immediately ordered everyone to start digging.

Left with no other option, the group began digging around the stone tablet.

This digging lasted for more than half an hour.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, a soldier shouted with delight, "Here!"

Upon hearing the soldier's voice, everyone immediately swarmed around him.

However, after just a casual glance, Ning Huang frowned: "This must have been dug up before, and then filled in with soil again..."

The signs of it being dug up were too obvious.

Anyone with a little experience can tell.

Qin Yu squatted down to take a look and ordered, "Keep digging! Dig to the bottom first!"

If this is the tomb of that "god," it's normal that it's been dug up.

Those people back then went so far as to kill their way into the Feng Clan's territory in order to obtain Xu Heng, so they must suspect that Xu Heng was taken to the grave by that person.

"yes!"

The soldiers accepted the order and continued digging.

After another hour of digging, they finally cleared out the entire surrounding area.

Only then did they realize that it was a rather large tomb.

Although it can't compare to the tombs of emperors, it's at least the size of a tomb for a fifth or sixth-rank official.

Considering the overall strength and population of the Wind Clan at that time, this should be considered the highest-level tomb among the Wind Clan.

This must be the tomb of that "god"!

Judging from the excavation, the area had indeed suffered severe damage, and fragments of the stone coffin could still be seen.

However, the stone coffin was also severely damaged, and not a single bone could be seen inside.

It's unclear whether it was due to natural decay over time, or whether the "deity's" body was taken away.

"There's something here!"

Soon, a sharp-eyed soldier discovered something in the mud of the broken stone coffin.

The soldiers quickly dug away the surrounding soil and carefully removed it bit by bit.

It was something that looked like a pipe. Qin Yu took a look and immediately understood.

This should be made of special plastic, but the pipe has clearly been cut off, leaving less than half a foot in length.

Qin Yu guessed that the ancestor of the Feng Clan must have buried some of the "deity's" personal belongings in his tomb as burial goods. Later, experts from various clans broke into the Feng Clan's territory, dug up the tomb, and may have accidentally severed this pipe.

However, this already confirms his guess from a few days ago.

Those so-called gods are nothing more than people who possess more advanced technology.

If they really are aliens, this is going to be hilarious.

"Continue clearing the soil below!"

Ning Huang was unwilling to give up and gave another order.

Before long, the area under the stone coffin was completely cleared out, but no further discoveries were made.

Qin Yu guessed that the man's body, along with his burial goods, must have been packed up and taken away.

This section of pipe must have fallen out accidentally.

With no further discoveries, Ning Huang couldn't help but feel secretly disappointed.

However, Qin Yu showed no disappointment and smiled, saying, "We may have overlooked an important piece of information!"

"What news?"

The group looked at Qin Yu with suspicion.

"King Yu the Great slays the wicked dragon!"

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "If these things were done by people sent by King Yu, then the things inside were very likely taken away by his men! After King Yu's death, these things might very well be buried with him!"

"You mean if we find the tomb of the ancient King Yu, we might find what's inside?"

Ning Huang immediately realized what was happening.

"right!"

Qin Yu nodded slightly. "Based on what we know so far, the ancient Yu the Great definitely existed! Even if the things in this tomb weren't placed in the ancient Yu the Great's tomb, he certainly knew more than we do! His tomb should contain information about Xu Heng..."

"That's right!"

Nan Que'er suddenly slapped her forehead, "The ancient King Yu definitely existed! His tomb might even be in this Yuwang Mountain!"

They can also collect various legends about the ancient King Yu and look for clues in them.

"That's settled then!"

Ning Huang also felt that Qin Yu's words made some sense.

"It's been several days, and our rations are almost gone. Let's search for another day or two! If we don't find anything else, let's prepare to retreat!"

With a new direction, Qin Yu no longer insisted on searching here.

They have already gained a lot from this trip.

I'll talk to Zhao Luan again later and have Zeng Guan personally lead a group of people with sturdy ropes and hooks to retrieve it from the sacred pool.

Perhaps the things that crashed in the Divine Pool can provide them with some useful information!

Yes, that's it!
