Sacrifices are often what they cherish, or are recognized as high-value items at that time. For a period of time, pure women were indeed active in various sacrificial rituals, and such women were more likely to be accepted by the gods they believed in.

Cassia carefully looked at the six women in the stone painting several times. The two pairs of wings behind them did not meet the basic characteristics of dragons, and the insect-like crystal wings were not the same as dragon wings.

What species is it? Is it like after surgery using other second type of biological tissues? Cassie speculated that perhaps it is something that dragons like, or natural enemies of dragons, and the sacrifice crowds use this way to win the joy of the gods.

"Did dragons used to be gods on the continent?" Cassia focused on the simple picture of dragons on the stone painting. The hideous appearance did not fit the appearance of the gods. Instead, the expression of covering the sun showed the power symbol of the dragon on the stone painting among the people who sacrificed the sacrifice. But the dragon in the stone painting is also a special case of dragons. The empire itself raised 500,000 dragons for the use of surgical materials. In addition, the other two giant countries and hundreds of small countries in the Houxiang Continent will only have more.

Dragons also have their own country and civilization. This is what Cassia knew after the military school opened up some of the information authority. Perhaps the dragons on the stone paintings are the kings in a dragon country.

There are also a few strange words next to each stone painting. Cassia can only remember them all in her mind now. When the matter here comes to an end, she will ask Shake for help after going back to Manoma.

In addition to these, in a corner of the stone painting, Cassia saw traces of excavation by later generations, which were marks left by Grote.

"It seems like I want to convey something or some secret message to me." After carefully looking around and confirming that he had left nothing, he came to the edge of the cave that connected the hollow underground, and entered a dry cave according to the route fixed by the group of mine seekers.

The air is not fresh or turbid. There is a place connected to the outside world, but it was not discovered by Cassia. According to the skin and breathing, the concentration of the "germs" here suddenly became much higher. After only staying in this environment for a few minutes, Cassia felt nauseous. She sat down and rested for a while, and waited until her body slowly adapted before continuing to move forward.

Now one thing is more certain: the "germ" disaster may have been caused by those seekers themselves. The fixed routes on the cave indicate that the group of seekers have indeed been here, but with such "germ" concentration, ordinary people may not survive for more than a few minutes. The only explanation is that this concentration did not exist here at that time, or that when those people were driven by diamonds and jewelry to explore the cave network, the substance "germ" had not yet filled the entire area.

The road behind was a cumbersome spider web route. There were many branches of the mine seekers' routes. Grote's marks appeared from time to time, but they did not become Cassia's sign. During the slow exploration progress, time came unknowingly around 10 o'clock in the evening. Cassia didn't know how many circles he had spared. When he arrived at the back, he even opened his cross pupils to obtain a good sense of direction, and then remembered the path he had walked, and formed a winding network of connected caves in his head.

Several other spacious underground holes were found, but there were no valuable clues except stone paintings and some utensils left by mine seekers as temporary rest. The contents of the stone paintings are mostly similar, but the similar paintings of worship and giant whales rushing out of the sea are the most frequent.

During the time recorded in the stone paintings, these two paintings may have great significance and may be two huge events.

Cassia stepped forward and thought. She often rested on the way, and didn't know when the feeling would appear. After opening the cross pupils, there were light warnings of danger in her body from time to time. In order to maintain full response, she was very careful in every step forward.

The map in the brain started with the natural shaft and has now expanded into a complex network. Cassia added the route he took not long ago. After rubbing his head, he turned on the strong light and shone it in front of him. It was still dark, with only the stone walls that protruded from time to time or the stalagmites formed for a long time revealing their shape.

"The flashlight is almost unable to hold on, and it acts as a distance measure according to its own steps. Although I have been here for more than ten hours, the actual length of my progress is not much. Compared with the volume of the mountain seen by the lake, I have only just drilled into the mountain at best. After all, most of my time has been spent in circles."

I chose to leave, but this time I was not prepared enough, and the strong light flashlight could not support the exploration later. And there were still many things that Cassia needed to record.

"The next time I come here, I can consider bringing paper, pen, and ink, and printing the stone paintings and taking them away."

It took me more than an hour to return to the dragon skull. The skull and the pile of diamonds emitted a very vitiligo green light, which was much brighter than other things that were contaminated with "germs", and even illuminated the surroundings.

"Did they also move this skull here?" There are far more bacteria contaminated than around, which seems to have become Cassia's standard for considering where the items come from. Inside the mountain, the content of "germs" is obviously higher than that outside.

Cassia thought that the skull had existed here not long ago, but the mess of marks left by Grote made him suspicious. He was taken from the beginning by the wrong head. In addition, due to the impact of time and volcanic eruptions, some cave networks were interrupted, and Grote's road signs could no longer play any role.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Back to the abandoned town, Cassia recorded all the things seen in the cave network and planned to go back to the nearby city tomorrow. The tools to explore the cave network must be more professional. The town where the elderly gathered cannot meet this requirement, such as solid fuel and corresponding tools. She also wants to buy some energy materials or used energy conversion equipment. She is not afraid of the darkness, and also enjoys the sense of peace of mind brought by the darkness, but exploring unknown things still requires it to be more comfortable in the light.

With two pneumatic swords, the two radiant tubes inside can meet all the power requirements for the routes arranged by the mine seekers. What is lacking now is only conversion equipment and a large number of adaptive lamps.

"At this rate, it will take about a week to reach our destination."

"The later the time, the better. I don't want to encounter prey in the Bergas area. You haven't seen it, but I've seen the prey at that time. It's not wrong with the second stage of the operation, but the threat and danger brought by the scaly state are much more dangerous than the third stage of the operation. It started three years ago, and until now, I'm still worried about the development of hardened skin surgery. Hard skin is just a transition point on the line of deep scaly surgery development. Don't tell me that your body strengthening and healing strengthening have been completed."

In the only lobby in the airship for crew members to rest, Reza and Trono sat at the table, drinking wine to pass the boring time on the journey.

"If there is new progress on Manoma, maybe we can return directly in the middle." Trono was not in a good mood. He thought a lot these days, and increasingly felt that the task assigned to them by the Knights was to let them die clearly. He knew his strength in his heart, and passed the official knight assessment task with just passing the score. It was indeed nothing among the Rose and Rose Knights, which had many elite figures, or it was nothing. But he was also a member of the Knights, and such treatment made him feel uncomfortable.

This is the case in the region of Mercelia, and the same is true in the Bergas region. The advance team is a nice and decent statement, but they know in their hearts that it really means cannon fodder that is rushing to the front. The fate of Milton and Sperry may be staged in them soon.

Reza finally didn't answer anything, just sighed.

"All staff are equipped with sufficient blue silver bullets, and we also have pneumatic weapons. Heavy firepower, artillery, bombs, and preparations. This small and medium-sized airship is also a semi-renovated military warship. It is equipped with six three-company 20mm cannons, two bomb launchers, a large-scale flame incendiary bomb launcher, and a military-grade turret. The main gun can completely bombard several connected residential houses into pieces with one shell. Such firepower may help us get back our advantages." Resa was thinking about other aspects, "After all, the Knights mission treats us like this. Since we have something to use, after all, we will face the prey directly after it completely loses its due value, we will not be said by the people above."

"It's all an action to better capture the goal," he added.
