Chapter 324 Traces of Wisdom

"Roar!"

The roar sounded again, but this time, it was full of pain.

The beast began to struggle constantly due to the severe pain caused by the injury to its vital parts.

"Boom boom--"

The beast struggled more and more frantically, its body rolled in the water, stirring up huge waves, as if it wanted to overturn the entire underground lake.

Large pieces of rubble fell from the cave rock wall and hit the ground and the lake heavily.

The earth was shaking, but Gu Yang was as firm as a rock. His feet stepped deeply into the pebbles in the water, supporting his body steadily.

"Whoosh--"

The beast's tail swung suddenly, with a sound of breaking through the air, and rushed straight to Gu Yang.

However, Gu Yang only had a flash of light in his eyes, and his body slightly turned to avoid it.

At the same time, at the moment when the tail brushed past him, his Star Spear also stabbed and pierced the beast's abdomen fiercely.

"Roar!" The roar of the beast shook the cave, its body twisted in pain, and the huge force once again shook the entire lake.

But Gu Yang did not give it a chance to breathe. He followed up with a series of attacks. The Star Spear was like a meteor flying through the night sky, hitting the beast's vitals again and again.

The green scales of the beast kept falling off under the impact of the Star Spear, and the blood dyed the clear lake red.

Its movements began to slow down, and each attack was no longer as fierce as before.

Gu Yang knew that the power of the beast was rapidly fading, and a surge of momentum surged in his heart. This was the best time to end the battle.

His body moved rapidly in the water, and every dodge was extremely agile, and every counterattack was extremely accurate.

Finally, after a fierce impact, the Star Spear penetrated the scales of the beast again and pierced deeply into its heart.

The body of the beast trembled violently, and the pair of red eyes gradually lost their luster.

With the last painful roar of the giant beast, its huge body slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, and the splashes of water splashed in the air, and finally returned to calm.

Gu Yang stood by the lake, panting, and his eyes fell on the direction of the mysterious island.

The giant beast was dead, and there was no obstacle on the lake. He could continue to go to the island and explore the secrets hidden deep in the cave.

He pulled out the Star Spear stuck in the ground, gently wiped off the blood on it, and then took a firm step towards the island again.

His heart was full of expectations and vigilance. Who knows what kind of dangers this mysterious island will hide.

But in any case, Gu Yang is ready, and he will unveil the mystery of this ancient cave step by step.

Gu Yang's steps are firm and steady, and he carefully walks towards the island isolated in the middle of the lake.

The plants on the island emit a faint green light under the weak light, as if guiding him forward.

He stepped on a floating stone, lightly jumped over a section of water, and landed on the edge of the island.

The lake water gently lapped at his feet, making a pleasant sound.

Gu Yang looked around and found that the island was not as desolate as he imagined. In addition to the strange plants on the island, there were also some small animals shuttling in the night.

Gu Yang's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and every step he took was extremely cautious.

The plants on the island not only emitted green light, but also some emitted a faint fragrance. This fragrance made him feel a little unusual. He knew that in this unknown environment, any beautiful thing might hide deadly dangers.

He condensed a star power knife in his hand and gently probed the soil with the tip of the knife to check if there were any traces of poisonous snakes or other dangerous creatures.

But apart from the wet soil and tiny roots, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Gu Yang walked slowly forward, and the rustling sounds of small animals came to his ears. They didn't seem to be afraid of him as an outsider.

His eyes were scanning around, trying to find any clues that might hide secrets.

At this moment, there was a slight sound under his feet, as if he stepped on something.

He looked down and found that it was a stone half buried in the soil.

Gu Yang squatted down and gently dug the soil around the stone with his fingers.

The stone gradually revealed its true face. It was not like an ordinary stone. There were some strange symbols engraved on the surface, which seemed to be some kind of ancient text.

His heartbeat accelerated a few points, and his intuition told him that this stone might be the key to the secret of the island.

Gu Yang studied these symbols carefully. Although he could not fully interpret them, some of them were similar to some mysterious totems he had seen in ancient books.

He decided to continue moving forward with this stone, perhaps he could find the answer deeper in the island.

He stood up, carefully put the stone into his backpack, and then continued to go deeper into the interior of the island.

As he went deeper, the plants on the island became more lush, and among the exotic flowers and plants, some colorful birds occasionally flew quickly, making crisp chirping sounds.

Gu Yang's steps never stopped, his eyes remained alert, and the Star Spear in his hand was ready to deal with any possible threats.

Soon after, he came to an open area, where the ground was covered with strange patterns, which were somewhat similar to the symbols on the stone he had just found.

A thought flashed through his mind, could this pattern be some kind of ancient formation?

Gu Yang walked along the patterns, trying to find their starting point or end point, but the patterns seemed to be a closed loop with no obvious end.

He decided to start the investigation from the center point, maybe there was a clue there.

When he reached the center point, Gu Yang found a concave circular area there, which seemed to be part of some kind of mechanism.

He looked around and tried to put the stone in his hand into the concave after ensuring safety.

The stone fit perfectly with the concave part, and the next moment, the whole open space began to vibrate, and the pattern emitted a faint light, as if it was activated.

Gu Yang held the Star Spear tightly, ready for any situation that might arise.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ground, and the crack gradually widened, revealing a downward staircase.

Gu Yang knew that he had found the entrance to the depths of the island.

Without hesitation, he took a firm step and walked down the stairs, deep into the unknown world underground.

Gu Yang walked down the stairs carefully, casting a cautious look at every step, exploring every corner.

On the wall of the stairs, more symbols can be vaguely seen, they flicker in the dim light, like the echo of ancient civilization.

As he went deeper, the air gradually became moist and cool, in sharp contrast to the sultry outside. His footsteps echoed in the narrow space, and it was particularly clear.

Finally, at the end of the stairs, a heavy stone door appeared, inlaid with gems, which shone brightly under the light of Gu Yang's torch.

Gu Yang approached the stone door and reached out to touch the gems, and found that they were not decorations, but a complex mechanism.

He observed carefully and found that there were tiny gaps between the gems, as if they could be rotated.

He tried to gently twist a gem, and the gem turned immediately, making a slight click.

Gu Yang's heart moved, he recalled the symbols he had seen on the stone just now, and began to try to rotate the gems in a certain order.

After several attempts, the gems on the stone door finally made a harmonious sound, and as the last gem returned to its position, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to a deeper depth.

Gu Yang held the Star Spear tightly, took a deep breath, and stepped into the new passage.

The walls here were covered with exquisite murals depicting ancient myths and some figures who seemed to be performing religious rituals.

As he moved forward, the passage gradually widened and finally came to a huge underground space.

There was a wide circular square with a huge statue in the center. The statue's face was solemn and mysterious, with his hands clasped together, as if praying silently.

Gu Yang looked around and noticed that there were several doors around the square, each with a different pattern.

He realized that these doors were likely to lead to different areas of the island, and perhaps each door hid different secrets.

He decided to explore the door on the far left first, which was engraved with a shining sun.

Gu Yang walked forward and gently pushed the door, which slowly opened, revealing a straight corridor.

At the end of the corridor was a brightly lit room with a stone table in the center of the room and a heavy wooden slip on the table.

Gu Yang walked forward and opened the wooden slips, and found that it contained a lot of knowledge, including the laws of the movement of stars, the formula of herbs, and even some ancient spells.

Gu Yang's heart was filled with strong interest. He knew that this book was a priceless treasure for him.

He carefully put the book into his backpack and continued to explore the rest of the room.

Some ancient weapons and tools were hung on the walls of the room, each of which exuded a faint luster and was obviously carefully maintained.

Gu Yang picked a dagger that looked particularly sharp and felt that it complemented the Star Spear.

He continued to search in the room, hoping to find more clues or treasures.

However, at this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from a corner of the room, as if something was touched.

Gu Yang raised the Star Spear vigilantly and slowly approached the direction of the sound.

He found that there was a slightly raised stone slab there, as if something was hidden underneath.

He carefully pried open the stone slab with a dagger, revealing a small secret compartment.

There was an ancient ring in the secret compartment, with a dazzling gem inlaid on it, which emitted a soft light.

Gu Yang felt that this ring was extraordinary. He put on the ring and immediately felt a warm power flowing into his body, and an inexplicable sense of peace surged in his heart.

He knew that this ring must be some kind of powerful magical item, which might play a key role in the next adventure.

Gu Yang put away the ring and returned to the square, ready to explore the next door.

His heart was full of curiosity and expectation. This mysterious island seemed to be more unfathomable than he had imagined.

After a while, Gu Yang returned to the center of the square again, and his eyes stopped on each door one by one, trying to find clues from the patterns on the door.

He knew that these patterns might represent the nature of the world behind the door, and might provide him with some basis for choice.

Finally, he decided to go to the door on the right, which was engraved with a lush tree surrounded by patterns of various animals.

He pushed open the door, and in front of him was a winding stone path, with flowers and plants he had never seen before planted on both sides.

Gu Yang walked along the stone path, the sound of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers rang in his ears, and the air was filled with a relaxing atmosphere.

He couldn't help but slow down his pace and carefully observed the surroundings, fearing that he would miss any details.

Soon, he came to the end of the stone path, and a small natural waterfall came into view. The water gently hit the rocks and splashed layers of water.

Gu Yang found that there seemed to be a cave behind the waterfall, and the water curtain vaguely blocked the entrance of the cave.

He approached the waterfall, and after reaching into the water curtain with his hand, he really touched the hard rock wall.

He walked through the water curtain without thinking and entered the cave.

The inside of the cave was moist and dark. Gu Yang took out a torch and lit it to illuminate the surrounding space.

He found that the walls of the cave were covered with various strange rocks, which flashed an attractive luster under the reflection of the fire.

Gu Yang walked deeper and noticed that the cave gradually became spacious, and finally came to a huge basement.

In the center of the basement, there was a stone platform with a seemingly ordinary copper plate on it.

He approached the stone platform and carefully observed the copper plate, and found that the copper plate was engraved with symbols similar to those on the stone door before.

A thought flashed through his mind, could this also be a mechanism?

Gu Yang tried to turn the copper plate, and suddenly the basement vibrated, and a hidden door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading down.

He walked down the stairs without hesitation, and at the end of the stairs was a secret room full of wooden slips.

The bookshelf was filled with various wooden slips, and the wall was engraved with complex star maps.

Gu Yang's eyes were attracted by a heavy wooden slip, with a glowing gem inlaid on the cover of the wooden slip.

He opened the wooden slip and found that it recorded profound knowledge about the power of the stars and how to use this power.

He realized that this wooden slip was of great significance to him. It could not only help him understand his own power, but also might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the entire island.

Gu Yang took the wooden slip into his arms and continued to search in the secret room, hoping to find more valuable items.

Just then, he noticed a seemingly inconspicuous small metal box with fine patterns engraved on it. He opened the box and found an exquisite golden key inside.

Gu Yang held the key and felt a warm current flowing into his heart. He knew that this key must be able to open an important place on the island.

He put away the key and the wooden slip, left the secret room, and returned to the square again.

His heart was full of excitement and anticipation. Every discovery on this mysterious island brought him one step closer to the truth.

More importantly, at this time, he was 100% sure that there must be intelligent life in this world! (End of this chapter)
