Zhou Yuhao took a glance and felt a headache coming on. The writing looked like tadpoles, and he couldn't recognize a single character.
"Captain, can you read this scripture?" Ding Xiangyun stepped forward and asked.
Shi Beiluo shook his head. "I can't. But when read normally, it's complete nonsense. Read backward, and it flows smoothly. So I believe this scripture was written in reverse."
Zhou Yuhao muttered, "It goes against all orthodoxy. These people are seriously twisted."
Shi Beiluo stopped looking at the scripture on the cave wall. "Be careful. The Heavenly Ghost's nest might be just ahead."
Zhou Yuhao and Ding Xiangyun nodded, then followed behind Shi Beiluo into the cave.
As soon as they entered the cavern, Shi Beiluo caught the same fragrance they had smelled in the main hall.
The scent here was merely much stronger. Its fragrance bored straight into their noses, causing waves of turbulence in their Mystic Qi.
After a while, they arrived at a large hall.
A Bronze Incense Burner stood there, filled with incense. The fragrance came from those sticks.
Bronze Dragon Pillars stood all around them. Twelve pillars in total supported the rocky ceiling.
