Yu Yueming sniffed. The smell that annoyed him made him really not want to push away the stone slab in front of him.

But in order to find clues to complete the dungeon task, after trying to calm down, he finally stretched out his front paws and pushed open the stone door.

While the stone door automatically slides open, a rich and strange smell comes to your face instantly!

Yu Yueming bit his forelimbs immediately, and stopped his urge to bite forward immediately, leaving some room to observe the situation in the room.

The room seemed very crowded, with dense pupa-like objects standing in the room, occupying most of the space.

Yu Yueming let go of his forelimbs and raised his head. After seeing the appearance of the pupa-like objects, the hair on his spine stood up again.

The pupae are about two meters high, roughly in the shape of a wooden barrel, with several convex ridges connecting the top and bottom on the surface. Between the ridges are wrinkled skin, which presents a disgusting dark green luster.

They have a five-pointed star-shaped structure at the top and bottom, which looks like a starfish. The structure at the top is smaller and more refined, while the structure at the bottom appears thicker and stronger. A tentacle hangs on each ridge in the middle of its body, and the ends of the tentacles are divided into countless tiny branches, just like the roots of plants.

The bodies of these strange existences are not complete. At first glance, almost every individual has incomplete parts. Yu Yueming pieced together their common characteristics and came up with the above description.

But these clear characteristics were enough to remind him of a famous creature in the myth of the Croatian myth.

Ancient ones.

Those mythical races that come from outside the sky, create life, dominate the world on a barren planet, possess unimaginable technology that humans can't imagine, but end up sleeping under the snow and ice in the polar regions. (Note: Lao Luo's work, "Crazy Mountains")

Yu Yueming froze and then slowly exited the room.

Lu Songyan didn't understand his reaction, but did not ask questions, but quietly retreated like him with a gentle movement.

After the stone door closed silently, Yu Yueming breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Guang glanced at the system panel and found that the task had changed.

The task of finding treasure has been completed, and new tasks have emerged.

[Final mission: Leave the cave (remaining time: 5 days, 11 hours, 23 minutes, 05 seconds)]

Time has changed... Yu Yueming calculated.

It is the fifth evening of the cave they entered. The first day they entered in the morning was the cave they had already spent about four and a half days in the cave. The original task time should be about two and a half days left. At present, the remaining time figure is zero and complete, and it should be that three more days were added to the original time.

So if you do the previous task quickly, you will have plenty of room for later. The total task time is ten days, and the author of the diary seems to have lost his mind around the tenth day... The subsequent player's mental impact of the change should continue to aggravate, and the situation will only become more difficult as it is delayed.

Yu Yueming was carefully moving away from the ancients while thinking about the traps in the mission.

Having said that, this task calls these things treasures?! He doesn’t even charge such things if you give them extra money to him!

When they walked to the arch, Lu Songyan started asking in a low voice.

"What are those things? You seem to recognize them. It's dangerous?"

Yu Yueming frowned.

"I know... Actually, I dare not be completely sure, but they are very similar to a creature I know. A creature called the Ancient One."

"The ancient man... sounds like a very old name."

"It is indeed so. According to the information I know, they are coming from the universe when the planet is still deserted, older than all life."

“They’re hard to deal with?”

Yu Yueming recalled the information recorded in the novel. He was not sure how much of the information was correct, but it was absolutely right to be cautious.

He had fought with monster-like trees in his previous dungeon, but they were just humans who had roughly mutated towards the shape of the black goat cub, and there were veterans who were in charge at that time.

In fact, he would rather face a group of monster apes than a real mythical creature. There was a certain instinct in his mind that told him that the concepts of the two were completely different.

"It's very difficult. They are extremely powerful, and knives are difficult to damage them. At least the scalpel cannot cut their skin at all. They are amphibious from sea, land and air, and have vision in the dark, able to endure extreme climates, and intelligence and technology beyond human beings. It's difficult for humans to beat them in armed battles and wits."

Not to mention anything else, combined with the huge size, the ancients' two points of strength and thick skin were already difficult enough.

Lu Songyan could obviously imagine the terribleness of such creatures, and asked instead: "They... are still moving. This place has been closed for a long time, so they should have been dead, right?"

Yu Yueming shook his head.

"Not necessarily. They are more like plants than animals, with particularly tenacious vitality and can enter a hibernation-like state without consumption."

Lu Songyan asked with a somewhat lucky attitude.

"Like plants? Then they shouldn't be too aggressive?"

Yu Yueming glanced at her with a strange expression.

"No, they eat meat. The first room we opened should be their pantry."

Lu Songyan continued to struggle: "It's all smart creatures, maybe they can try to communicate..."

Yu Yueming shook his head again, recalling the information from the novels he had read.

"How do they say that, the research spirit is a bit strong. Instead of communicating through language, I think they may be more willing to communicate through scalpels. Moreover, our language, including body language, is definitely not connected to each other."

Lu Songyan was silent and then changed the topic.

"...You can tell me any bad news together."

Yu Yueming thought for a moment.

"Well...will they sprinkle some salt when they eat meat?"

"...Thank you, I would rather not know this kind of news."

The two of them were silent for a while. Yu Yueming pondered for a while and made a decision.

"We still have to go to that room to explore. We have not found any clues to leaving this cave. The ancients are probably the original owners here, and there are the most likely clues around them."

He looked at Lu Songyan and continued to add.

"I'll go by myself this time. It's not easy for me to make noises by myself, and it's also convenient for me to escape."

Lu Songyan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, so he could only nod.

After being mentally prepared, Yu Yueming pushed the stone slab away again and walked into the room full of ancient people.

The ancients were huge in size, and the distance they left was enough for him to travel, but he was still terrified in every step. The intuition told him that if these huge creatures were still alive, their casual blow would be enough to seriously injure themselves.

At this moment, he felt an unarmed man walking among the sleeping lions.

Every hair on his body exploded straight, and every step seemed to be moving forward on a blade called danger. Every movement must be extremely gentle to avoid waking up these horrors that might be sleeping.

The broken parts of the ancients emitted a strong and pungent smell after encountering fresh air, which made him feel dizzy. He tried hard to maintain the clarity of his consciousness and tried to find useful information as quickly as possible.
