Chapter 1874: Chapter 603: White Bone Cave and the Secrets of the Three Realms (Part 3)
Despite this, Xia Hong still put the two of them in the Yellow Mustard Bag and took them with him.
For the soul body injuries, if he remembered correctly, Xu Ning, who had fused with Master Wusheng’s organ, had a way to solve it. As long as Jiang Yiqing and Xiahou Yong could still maintain life signs, bringing them back to Great Xia should save them.
Under the protection of Hong Yu’s Divine Evil Pearl, the three of them continued to delve deeper along the White Bone Forest. The number of patrolling Demon Soldiers along the way was quite large, almost every ten meters there was a post, every hundred meters a sentry. Discovering this situation, the faces of the three naturally turned grim.
Obviously, the other side had guessed they would come, otherwise the guards wouldn’t be so tight. Although the Divine Evil Pearl helped them hide, who knows what the situation in the White Bone Cave was?
Since the other side was certain they would come, they must have been prepared. It surely wasn’t just these patrolling Demon Soldiers on the outskirts—the inside of the cave might as well be a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den.
"We’ve come this far, worrying is futile. Lord Xia, don’t worry, I’m truly not lying to you. That Lady Yulou has a deep connection with Great Xia; with you here, she probably won’t make things difficult for us."
......
Until now, Xia Hong didn’t know why Hong Yu was so confident. On the way to White Bone Mountain, he had asked Hong Yu once more, and the other party still brushed it off with the excuse that it was hard to explain.
Since Hong Yu didn’t want to say, he couldn’t force him.
However, at this critical juncture, there was indeed no turning back, because the White Bone Cave had already entered the range of their vision.
On the west side of the Bone Forest, about three kilometers in area, a gigantic shadow slowly came into view. Xia Hong did not use the Soul Summoning Lamp, and the post-breakthrough range of vision was only two hundred meters or so. Additionally, unable to flexibly use Tribulation Qi, he could only vaguely see the outline of a giant human head.
Hong Yu and Li Baobao, both of Tribulation Body Realm cultivation, had a much farther range of vision than Xia Hong. At a glance, they could see that it wasn’t a human head, but a giant skull five or six stories high.
"Is this human bone? Can humans grow this big?"
It was Li Baobao’s first time seeing such a huge skull. Key point is, the skull’s shape was distinctly human; the question was, whose head could grow to over fifty meters high?
A skull over fifty meters high, the body must be at least three hundred meters and above. This was no War Body Golden Body, just a simple human skull. How could a normal human’s stature grow so large?
"This is not a human skull; it’s the skull of a Saint Yang Realm Heavenly Person, and in life, it should have been of Venerable Level cultivation..."
Li Longyu timely provided an explanation. Unlike Xia Hong and Li Baobao, who were puzzled seeing the skull, her face clearly showed a hint of disgust upon seeing it, suggesting she had a particular dislike for the Saint Yang Realm Heavenly People she mentioned.
"Saint Yang Realm Heavenly People?"
Xia Hong’s curiosity was piqued again, prompting him to inquire promptly.
Upon hearing, Li Longyu pondered for a moment, then said, "There are also a group of humans in the Saint Yang Realm. Although they left the Ice Abyss long ago, they never considered themselves human. They claimed to be Heavenly People, mingled with the beings of the Saint Yang Realm, and viewed the Ice Abyss people as outsiders. To ingratiate themselves with the other races and beings of the Saint Yang Realm, they’ve even developed cultivation methods using Life Souls—a group of extremely evil and despicable bastards!"
From Hong Yu’s words, one could roughly understand what kind of ilk these Heavenly People were. Xia Hong didn’t even need to ask in detail; he could guess by deduction.
He shook his head, choosing not to delve further with questions.
It’s not that he didn’t want to ask, but that the three of them had already reached the entrance of the White Bone Cave.
Unlike the White Bone Forest’s perimeter, which was swarming with patrolling Demon Soldiers, the White Bone Cave area was surprisingly empty, with not a single Demon Soldier in sight. There was not even a gatekeeper—the over-five-meter-high bone-carved gate was just casually open, as if welcoming them in.
"Tight outside, loose inside—are they certain we wouldn’t get this far, or is this a deliberate act to lure us into a trap?"
Xia Hong slightly furrowed his brows, pondering for a moment before leading the way toward the cave entrance.
Inside the cave lies the spatial rift, the only hope of returning to the Ice Abyss. Whatever the other party’s plan, having come this far, they had to go inside.
"Follow behind me, and be careful!"
Xia Hong softly reminded Hong Yu, then led the way in.
Hong Yu nodded, immediately following behind him.
As for the rear, Li Baobao once again found herself ignored by Xia Hong. She was, of course, fuming with anger, but there was no use being angry now. Gritting her teeth, she hurriedly followed the two into the cave entrance.
