Unlike ordinary outpost fortresses.
The headquarters had far more comprehensive functions.
At the same time, this also meant that the Blood-Burning Demons had once intended to establish a proper permanent presence here.
It seemed that the secrets hidden within this Bone-Burial Bunker were far more numerous than Zong Shen had previously imagined.
"Interesting."
Zong Shen turned his attention back to the Warehouse hidden deeper underground.
The environment here was still fairly dry, without much of that damp, clammy moisture.
Only, as air circulated in from outside, a faint layer of dust drifted up from the ground.
Compared to the hall above, this place was clearly much tidier.
Not only were there no stone coffins containing mutated demons, there were no monsters at all.
However, two skeletons lay conspicuously before the Supply Crates lined against the walls.
One was an armored skeleton half-kneeling on the ground. Judging by its shape, it should have been human.
From the style of the armor, it wore thick, full-body heavy armor.
A round great helm covered its skull, with a cross-shaped slit in the middle.
The other corpse was a demon. Its shriveled scales had contracted tightly around its bones.
Its horn-covered skull had four empty eye sockets, within which dust and spider webs had accumulated.
The skeleton was a full size larger than a human's.
The poses of the two skeletons were rather strange, but a brief observation was enough to understand what had happened.
The demon skeleton's scaled claws had pierced through the heavy plate armor and plunged directly into the human warrior's chest.
At the same time, the human warrior had used the short spear in his hand to pierce the demon's throat.
They had perished together.
They had remained in their final poses like this for more than ten thousand years.
