Chapter 450 - Maze, Symbol (1/1)

Chapter 450 - Maze, Sy ricocheted in this underground tunnel Yu Chi, Gu Jun, Keziah Mason and the cat treaded for half an hour and there was still no end in sight They took ht fixtures on the walls were the sa, they were constant and unchanging They found themselves at another junction It split into 8 different tunnels and a ladder that led vertically upwards However, they were probably not going in circles because this set of ladders looked so ardless, the cat, or in other words, Wu Siyu had to aded and collapsed right in the iven up on the leading role and also, she needed to rest

"You can't sense anything anymore?" Gu Jun asked He personally was unable to do it, his mind was ht she had souided feeling

Gu Jun looked around and a flash of panic gripped his heart So… They were less than 1 hour and 30 minutes away to the end of the countdown Keziah Mason looked as lost as they were Her attention was distracted by the electric lights on the wall That was soirl from the 18th century

"Captain Gu, I have an idea" Yu Chi sidled up to the wall "Co them since we arrived From the place we landed to here, the walls are covered in carvings"

"Hmm" Gu Jun noticed that as well He wondered if they were part of the ritual or just a decoration Yu Chi though had a different perspective He scratched his beard and his face was red He had trouble for the words due to his abnors, but they are also symbols and letters… How am I supposed to say this? Stone can be a s on cave walls have always been viewed as symbols and markers"

Gu Jun nodded "Understood"

"Meow" Wu Siyu was listening in as well

"Symbols are letters…" Yu Chi scratched his head "Or I should say it like this There are three kinds of earliest known hulyphs, Sumerian cuneiform and the Han's Oracle Bone Scripts They are all refined froht, Gu Jun studied the clustered symbols on the wall "Captain Yu, youto them?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I ht be part of a spell, invocation, or historical records" Yu Chi explained with passion burning in his eyes If there was a way to copy all of these, he would spend his lifeti them However, that was not all Yu Chi continued, "I have studied souistics The more I studied this wall, the e to me Look, this here is the bone oracle script for the character 'Wors are simple visual descriptions of an object, concept and action See, this character looks like a worm"

Gu Jun could see it The character looked like a wors, an uneasy feeling rose in his heart The Chinese language system that they used today was developed froe in the world that survived such a long history of ti on the wall?

"As we move further, the number of Bone Oracle Script decreases and they are replaced by est a passage of tie system on the wall Captain Gu, ill return to the dawn of human civilization We, from the end of human civilization will coe marks the start of every civilization It has always been deey" Despite the pell-et his point across "This religion of the Locust God is not that simple It is more than just a bunch of locusts, I suspect it has to do with tiression It is the only reason their altar would look like this I believe this whole underground systey?' The tery, it was the power utilized by huainst the dark forces…

"Meow?" Wu Siyu asked 'Then how is this going to help us get to our destination? Or are we already at our destination? All we need to do now is to bite, scratch, pummel the walls? That'll destroy the altar?'

"She's asking what should we do now?" That hat Gu Jun got froo back in time!" Yu Chi exclaimed as he reached out to study the symbols on the concrete wall "These syins Humans existed before civilization The ape-lyphs here but there are a lot of Mesolithic symbols This is a symbol of a bull and this here is the sys from the Mesolithic tie Therefore Gu Jun did not give any opinion Keziah Mason stood to the side quietly, Wu Siyu shrugged and went along

"Captain Yu, why don't you lead the way?" Gu Jun suggested, "This ht be why you're here… All of us have a reason to be here"

"Okay, I'll try…" Yu Chi instantly went down a small distance into the other 7 tunnels He studied the symbols on the door and determined the timeline each of them should refer to Soe, which was later than the Mesolithic age

If Yu Chi was right, they needed to go back to the past, go back to the beginning, so they needed to find the path with Paleolithic symbols There were 3 tunnels with paleolithic symbols but only one of them had the Oracle Bone Script of Wor" Yu Chi scratched his head and said, "It should not be here Based on the tiyptian hieroglyphs are no longer visible so why is it still here? Bone Oracle Script hasn't been invented in paleolithic tih time"

Gu Jun studied the worm character Who were the time travelers? The Locust God worshi+ppers or them, the intruders?

They had less than 1 hour and 10 roup resumed their journey deep into the tunnel But it was unclear whether they were the hook or the hooked fish
