Stepping through the void, the feeling suddenly changed.
Temperature and brightness seemed to be in a completely different dimension from the outside, making the perceived temperature drop immediately, and visibility also decreased significantly.
However, this can all be attributed to the large size of the space and the fact that the coffins, like a forest, blocked out the light.
Benny walked at the front, his scalp tingling, while a group of professors, led by Charles, followed behind, their eyes gleaming as they looked around, even occasionally breaking away from the group to examine the coffin up close.
"Something's not right with these coffins. Look, there are even words written on them."
Professor Jenny pulled Professor Charles to stand in front of the coffin and examine it.
This coffin, bearing the Pale Holy See, is constructed entirely in the classic Western style, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The surface of the coffin is also decorated with crooked, illegible carvings.
I don't want to die.
"Get out of here!"
"Immortality is a hoax; we are their slaves."
"I want to drink another mouthful of blood!"
The characters carved on the coffin by the knife were twisted and frenzied. Although the coffin was largely intact, the passage of thousands of years had inevitably caused it to decay. Now, with the introduction of oxygen into this place, the coffins began to show signs of weathering, and even the pure white Pale Holy See cross began to fade slightly.
Some of the coffins had gaps or breaks, and when the light shone on them, the mummified corpses inside could be clearly seen through the gaps.
"Oh my, this is the proper attire of the Pale Holy See! Look at the white clothes on these corpses, look at the hoods on their heads—these coffins are all for missionaries!"
With so many people buried alive with them, there must be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of bodies.
It's unimaginable what kind of person of such high status could have such a vast and magnificent burial site!
Professor Charles's eyes lit up. Far from being frightened by the dark and gloomy environment, he became excited and pushed Benny forward.
"And look at the teeth in the mouths of these mummies, their teeth are all long and sharp!"
Oh no, no, no, the outermost teeth seem to be positioned differently from the teeth of these mummies; they seem to be starting to move inwards!
The professor ran around excitedly.
Benny had unspeakable suffering in his heart.
The ordinary people present might not have felt anything, but he was different.
The further he went, the greater the pressure he felt, both physically and mentally.
He felt as if the darkness ahead was the gaping maw of a gluttonous beast, and he was walking step by step into this hideous maw, rather than exploring the ruins.
And perhaps because he had taken too much of the Human Evolution Elixir, he developed a slight connection with the Vampire around him.
In short, he always felt that the things in those coffins around him were alive!
But Benny is Benny.
As an S-class super soldier and the number one human being, he possesses extremely high self-esteem.
Secondly, this scientific expedition is being broadcast live to the highest levels of power and influence, so Benny needs to demonstrate his capabilities during this broadcast!
So even though he was terrified inside, he acted as if he didn't care at all, and even took the lead, walking forward with his head held high and chest out.
The further they went, the greater the shock became.
The entire underground space truly seemed to stretch endlessly.
The coffin forest at the front was alright, but the back was practically a gigantic underground palace.
As the forest of coffins came to an end, a towering city wall came into view.
The underground space, three meters high, suddenly expanded and extended downwards to a depth of four or five hundred meters, where a huge and majestic palace was half-hidden in the dim light.
" Holy Lord City "
"My God! This is profound knowledge, this is a miracle!" several professors exclaimed, their eyes shining like searchlights.
"Hahahaha, the East Continent nations always say that we Southern Continent are a bunch of lands without historical depth. Now that this enormous miracle has occurred, let's see who dares to say we have no historical depth now!"
The lights shine across the ancient city, and everything within sight is truly breathtaking.
The city wall had hollowed-out holes the size of human figures, and inside each hole stood a mummified corpse with its arms clasped to its chest.
Even though ten thousand years have passed and the clothes have long since weathered and decayed, the densely packed mummies that can be seen are enough to make one's scalp tingle and one's heart tremble.
At the entrance to this magnificent underground palace called Holy Lord City, there is even a sign that reads something like a guide.
"Your Majesty loves the Holy Lord City most, therefore Abraham funded the construction of this city as a gift to Your Majesty."
Your Majesty, may you live forever!
All who behold this city must kneel and prostrate themselves in sincere prayer to behold Your Majesty's holiness! (Inferior Vampire and Werewolf are forbidden entry.)
" Werewolf? Good heavens, are Werewolf really real?" Professor Jenny covered her mouth and nose, her eyes wide open.
Although she knew about the Vampire queen Maria and that Vampire were likely real, she did not know that Werewolf also existed.
Although images of Werewolf have survived from the industrial era, there are no skeletal fossils. No one can be sure whether those so-called photos are fabricated later.
"Why are lowly Vampire and Werewolf not allowed to enter?" Professor Charles looked at the sign on the door with a puzzled expression.
However, now is not the time to consider this matter.
In this day and age, the Pale Church no longer exists; instead, the Holy Lord Church has been promoted and recognized as orthodox.
But this group of people not only did not believe in religion, but the kneeling policy of the old Church was no longer in use.
Therefore, no one paid any attention to the slogans on the walls.
