Zhang Tian held the sheepskin book, his heart filled with anticipation as he slowly opened it.
Following that, picture scrolls quickly appeared before everyone's eyes.
"This is the secret of the Ghost Cave tribe's existence!"
Looking at the scrolls before him, Zhang Tian couldn't help but speak.
"Boss, what does this drawing say? Fatty doesn't understand! It's big snakes one moment and caves the next."
Fatty looked at the scrolls before him, his face full of curiosity.
Zhang Tian continued to speak.
"In the Zaghlama Mountains, there is a legendary Ghost Cave. Everyone wants to know what's inside. One day, a great priest created a giant eyeball, hoping to see the world underground."
"And to gain the ability to see underground, one must offer sacrifices to the snake god. Everyone brought their only livestock and began the sacrifice."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Shirley Yang looked at the book.
"Is there anything about the curse?"
Zhang Tian shook his head, "Not yet."
Saying this, Zhang Tian continued to turn the pages.
"As the sacrifice began, suddenly countless black snakes emerged from underground and began to attack the city's inhabitants. Those black snakes were naturally the subordinates of the so-called snake god."
"Many villagers lost their lives. Within this tribe, a prophet emerged who could predict the unknown. However, his predictions were only within a designated range."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Hu Bayi slowly interjected.
"The designated location should be around the Zaghlama Mountains. It should be regional foresight."
Hu Bayi spoke, and his gaze fell upon the prophet behind them.
Zhang Qilin also looked at the prophet, both of them curious as to why they could foresee the future.
"Later, because the underground Ghost Cave was opened, this tribe was cursed. Eight hundred years later, a new race established themselves above it, which was the final Jingjue ancient city."
As Zhang Tian spoke, everyone's gaze turned to the sheepskin book.
"Then, Boss, if that's the case, doesn't that mean the prophet was buried here in advance? He even knew that the queen would be buried here?"
Hu Bayi exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Tian nodded gently.
"Logically, it should be like that. But I'm curious, is this prophet really that powerful? Even Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi back then probably wouldn't dare to be this powerful."
Zhang Tian spoke, his heart filled with curiosity about this so-called prophet.
Zhang Tian estimated that even if the prophet could predict the future, he would need to expend something.
"Boss, don't stop, don't stop! Fatty wants to keep reading."
Seeing Zhang Tian stop translating and start chatting, Fatty quickly urged him.
Zhang Tian rolled his eyes at Fatty and then continued.
"Later, the queen possessed a pair of eyes that could see through the Ghost Cave. She even mastered the ability to summon black snakes using the jade eye."
"Because of this, the surrounding smaller kingdoms were no match for the queen, and they quickly submitted."
Zhang Tian translated what he saw in the paintings.
"That's not right, Boss. If the queen could control black snakes, how could she have been poisoned to death? Black snakes themselves are highly venomous."
Hu Bayi spoke, this being the question everyone had wanted to know.
"It says here that the queen wantonly killed, causing suffering to the surrounding small kingdoms. Her crimes angered the true god. After a storm, the desert engulfed the entire ancient city."
"And countless living beings, black snakes, and malevolent spirits were all buried in the sand."
"In the future, five survivors will come here, and one of them will be a descendant of the prophet."
Zhang Tian said this, and everyone stopped.
"Miss Yang, you are a descendant of the prophet, and your identity is specifically emphasized later. It's likely that you will play a significant role in dealing with the queen."
Zhang Tian spoke.
Shirley Yang looked at herself, her hand inadvertently pointing to herself.
"Me?"
She was a little incredulous, as she didn't even feel as powerful as Zhang Tian and the others, let alone playing a significant role.
"Since this book says so, there must be some truth to it. Moreover, that so-called true god is probably not a good thing. A storm killed not only countless malevolent spirits but also countless people."
"As for the prince of Gumo assassinating the queen, I suspect it never succeeded. The queen's eventual eternal slumber here is probably out of fear of that so-called true god."
Zhang Tian said, and everyone was stunned.
Hu Bayi's eyes lit up, and his mind became clear.
"Boss, I understand!"
"Previously, the assassination of the queen by the prince of Gumo and the rebellion of the Ghost Cave tribe were all within the queen's control. She may have long realized the existence of the true god."
"Therefore, she deliberately faked her death and then hid in the Kunlun divine wood to deceive the true god. And that yellow sand was not a demon wind, but the storm of the true god destroying the ancient city."
Hu Bayi spoke, his mind working rapidly.
Zhang Tian nodded, he thought the same.
This way, the matter of the prince of Gumo, who lacked strength but could assassinate the queen, became understandable.
The queen herself had faked her death; she wasn't killed by them at all.
As for the curse master casting a spell, the queen herself was a curse; how could she fear them?
After understanding these points, Zhang Tian felt enlightened.
Thinking of the coffin beneath the Corpse Fragrance Lotus, Zhang Tian's back broke out in a cold sweat.
Perhaps the queen was waiting for them outside right now.
Zhang Tian pictured the queen in his mind and trembled, feeling a little panicked.
"Is there a way to deal with the queen in here?"
Shirley Yang asked, looking at the skin scrolls before her.
"There seem to be a few more pages."
Zhang Tian looked at the sheepskin book and then flipped to the back.
"What is this? I can't understand it at all."
Zhang Tian looked at the picture scrolls before him, completely stunned.
On the scrolls, countless black souls and many jumbled things were drawn into a mess.
It looked very strange.
Completely incomprehensible.
What was most bizarre was that the things in the pictures seemed deformed, looking incredibly strange.
Zhang Tian flipped further, but there was nothing else, only a single line of text remained.
"Ghost eyes see the daylight, the curse halfway through the body."
A short passage, and after it, there was nothing else.
Zhang Tian frowned slightly. This thing, it was nothing, making him anticipate for so long in vain.
However, getting so much information from the prophet was not bad.
"Boss, it doesn't seem to say how to deal with the queen."
Hu Bayi said, and Shirley Yang also looked a little disappointed.
"Nor does it say how to remove the curse."
As they spoke, Zhang Tian slowly shook his head. They didn't need to rush about the curse; there were still a few years left, not none.
"What we need to consider now is how to avoid falling into the Ghost Cave and conquer, no, destroy the queen."
Zhang Tian said, after all, the queen wasn't dead, she was probably asleep, and dealing with her would definitely be difficult.
"Boss, we have many people, let's attack in shifts."
Fatty spoke directly.
Zhang Tian, however, thought of something.
"Right, we still have the Ghost Imperial Seal. If the Ghost Imperial Seal were to unleash its power, wouldn't that allow for a war of attrition?"
Zhang Tian's heart lit up as he thought of this. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
