Mural Records

A fierce battle is raging inside the temple.

After Rhine's chest injury was healed, he rushed back inside.

The wounded soldiers who were injured by the two waves of powerful attacks from the skeleton were also carried out one after another.

Rein looked at it; the injuries were very strange.

The Ice Law completely ignored most of the battle aura armor and magic shields, injuring the true forms of many High-tier Extraordinary.

That was a very tricky attack method that was beyond everyone's comprehension.

Clearly, the female skeleton's understanding of the laws far surpassed that of everyone present.

Fortunately, apart from the few who were seriously injured, the rest of them were not seriously injured. After being injected with blood-activating medicine, they rejoined the battle.

The skeleton in the temple was indeed so powerful that it seemed to open up a whole new world. Even though it was also at the fifth tier, it displayed a domineering presence beyond the fifth tier.

While both are "magical unlocked," the skeletons are vastly different from ordinary legendary creatures.

The legends like Bazel obtained the "Divine Power Crystal," received some incomplete inheritances, and tried to understand the mysteries of magic on their own, but they've only just scratched the surface. But the Skeleton Monster might have been personally instructed by a god in the past; it's definitely someone who truly understands this secret technique.

There's also the understanding of the laws. Although the laws are limited to the Fifth-tier Extraordinary, the Skeleton Monster's understanding of the laws is on a completely different level.

Bazel and his group were on the first floor, while this person was on the third. High-level martial arts techniques were used with ease. Both it and Ymir were governed by the Ice Law; Ymir could unleash a sword aura thirty meters long with a single strike, while this person's strike could reach a hundred meters, possessing several times the power.

Having seen the view from the top, it's no challenge to dominate lower-level opponents, even when facing multiple opponents.

But it was just a skeleton after all, retaining only some of its fighting instincts from its previous life.

If it had even a modicum of normal human reasoning, Bazel and the others would probably have chosen to evacuate.

They always block attacks and make moves whenever someone gets close, without understanding the concepts of "feint" or "luring the enemy."

Even the four of them, including Bazel, could talk loudly and discuss tactics, without the skeleton knowing anything.

After a period of fierce fighting, Bazel and his companions figured out the patterns in how to fight the female skeleton.

After gradually finding a weakness, the four of them worked together, with three holding the opponent back, Ymir found an opportunity to pierce the black fire in the skull's eye socket with her sword, directly cracking the black-purple magic crystal.

The once invincible female skeleton is now completely defeated.

"Senior Bazel, Grandpa Tuster, Prince Ymir, Elder Imyu, are you all alright?"

The battle ended, and the support staff entered the site. It was only then that Rein stepped into the now ravaged ice sculpture temple for the first time, and he gasped in shock.

Bazel, in his wolf form, didn't revert to human shape. He sat on a stone bench, panting heavily. Seeing Rein enter, he yelled loudly, "Rein, you little brat, come quick and give me some stitches. This ice blade is cutting my bones!"

This veteran of the "Ten Great Legends" was the absolute main force in the battle just now. After all, among the four, only he had comprehended the secret technique of dispelling demonic energy, posing the greatest threat to that skeleton and able to withstand the most damage.

Then, those who rush to the front lines naturally get the worst beatings.

His fur was covered in cuts from ice blades, a bloody mess, yet strangely, not a single drop of blood oozed out; the wounds were filled with ice shards. Normally, such external injuries would heal instantly with his werewolf healing abilities, but the strange power of the Ice Law had frozen the wounds. Without external intervention, healing was extremely slow.

Although Rein's rank was not high, he had become quite skilled in surgery. He used several vials of debridement medicine specifically for treating Transcendent wounds to clean Bazel's wound, then began to suture it with Gang Line, and finally used [Divine Healing Technique] to forcibly stimulate cell division.

He has now condensed more than thirty "Gang Line," and dozens of wounds are being stitched up simultaneously, visibly healing rapidly.

Grandpa Tuster dismounted from the mech and inspected his six-armed armor, which was badly damaged. He frowned and said, "The level of magic immunity enchantment is still too low against this kind of being. I was almost completely frozen. It's a pity that higher-level alchemical enchanting techniques are no longer available on the market."

Insect Master Elder Imyu didn't have any external injuries, but he frowned slightly as he looked at the golden beetle on the ground.

Ymir, on the contrary, was not seriously injured. The wounds caused by the ice law were similar to ordinary injuries to her, and she could be cured with a little treatment.

Several key players were resting, while the others began clearing the battlefield.

A set of dark red rune-covered "Vine Talisman Armor" was peeled off the golden skull, which looked much more advanced than the one obtained before.

Then there was that crystal-clear, two-finger-wide longsword. Without the demonic energy from the skull, it was crystal clear, and when it fell to the ground, it almost completely blended into the ice. Its grade is currently unknown, but it's definitely not an ordinary "legendary item."

Of course, the "Divine Power Crystal" is also indispensable.

Only then did they learn that Ymir and his Spurglin Family were part of the Frost Law sequence of Petra, one of the "Seventy-Two Divine Generals," who had been promoted. Their royal family even had a legendary figure from several hundred years ago. Later, when the Divine Power Crystal were exhausted, a small amount remained in the royal treasury, but no one dared to use it. They feared that before they could even comprehend the magic dissolution, that little bit would be gone too.

Now, however, they have obtained a bloodline that appears to be of very high purity, which is quite a pleasant surprise.

These gains alone make their trip a "super bumper harvest".

Upon returning, Black Dragon City will immediately gain another legendary expert, along with over two thousand invulnerable "Rattan Armor Warriors." The territory's combat strength will surge significantly once again.

The temple was made of a much harder material than ordinary stone, but it was still damaged in the previous battle.

In ancient times, temples were built to facilitate worship for believers of the gods and to spread the divine legacy. It seems that sculptures and murals were standard features in the temples of the Monkell Civilization, and this "Temple of the Cold Wind" is no exception.

Ymir also found the exclusive inherited secret technique for her sequence, a special ice-type divine power called [Ice Calamity Domain].

However, since the temple had just emerged from the ground, most of it was still buried in the soil. The group of combat personnel transformed into archaeologists, carefully clearing the ruins and searching for treasures buried in the soil.

Before long, the mud was cleared away.

The entire temple was now fully revealed to everyone.

Besides the secret techniques passed down by Petra, the goddess of the Ice Calamity, those murals also contain some historical records.

While Rein was treating the wounded, someone suddenly shouted to them, "Lord Rein, gentlemen, I think I've discovered some very important murals."

Upon hearing this, Rein and Bazel walked over and saw Ymir studying something on the mural after cleaning up the dirt.

Upon closer inspection, they found that the colors on the mural had faded and a large portion had peeled off. However, they could still make out the general content of the mural.

The first mural depicts countless soldiers in rattan armor battling another group of soldiers in silver armor, with corpses strewn across the battlefield and blood staining the earth red.

Strangely, those silver-armored soldiers didn't seem to be normal humans. They had vertical pupils between their foreheads, clearly belonging to the "Three-Eyed Race."

The Kolman Tribe has this legend. Imyu glanced at it and immediately realized something, speculating, "This seems to record a key battle that led to the destruction of the ancient 'Monkell Civilization.' It depicts the scene of the Black Emperor Moises leading the 'Vine Armor Army' in a decisive battle against the enemy."

Rein was even more curious about the identities of those three-eyed enemies and asked, "Are there really three-eyed humans in this world?"

No one could answer the question; everyone shook their heads in unison.

Clearly, there is no record of the "Three-Eyed Race" in the Misty World.

Rein raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.

The second mural depicts a small group of "Vine Armor Army" carrying a golden box that looks like a coffin, trekking a long distance over mountains and rivers.

Upon seeing this, Rein immediately understood that this was probably the Black Emperor's defeat, and his body was escorted back by the surviving "Vine Armor Army," seemingly intending to find a place to bury him.

Unfortunately, the murals behind it have completely fallen off, and it is unknown where the "Black Emperor's" body was buried.

Rein and Ymir, among others, knew about the "Black Emperor Tomb Treasure Map," and upon connecting the dots, they deduced that the tomb's location was likely in the "Karatva Basin." These murals, therefore, directly confirmed that the contents of the Treasure Map were probably true.

Moreover, the presence of a temple and rattan-armored skeletons here suggests that this is the last remaining "Vine Armor Army" after the decisive battle. This is the most direct clue.

Bazel: "Are those the 'Vine Armor Army' that came back from the front lines in this temple?"

Rein: "It seems so."

Everyone: "."

Unfortunately, there were no more clues in the temple to allow for speculation.

By this time, it was getting dark.

If we don't move soon, the "zombie horde" will be at its most active again.

There wasn't much left to clear from the temple, so they didn't leave anything behind. The coordinates will be marked, and someone else will be assigned to do a more thorough cleanup later.

This trip also had another important purpose: to find out the origin of those shield skulls.

Thanks to 'Qi Yue Ban' 588, 'Boss Xue', and 'Tai Chen Yu'. Thanks to these three for their generous support.
