Chapter 165: Stone Door Mural

Qin Xiaoxi nodded. These two possibilities made sense, but judging from the mural alone, this explanation was too vague.

Moreover, in this desolate Northern Region, there were man-made structures hidden in the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. Everything became even stranger that even Jiang Yun didn’t know how to explain this.

However, while he was thinking, Jiang Yun discovered the location of the Frost Dragon. Many small people were standing there and they looked very distorted and abstract on the mural. So much so that Jiang Yun did not notice that there were actually so many small people standing under the feet of the Frost Dragon.

“Look at these small people,” Jiang Yun suddenly said.

“Where are they?” Qin Xiaoxi was stunned by Jiang Yun’s words.

“There.” Jiang Yun pointed out the abstract small people under the Frost Dragon for Qin Xiaoxi.

“Huh? This is a small person? I feel like I can draw this carving.” Qin Xiaoxi was confused. If Jiang Yun didn’t point it out, she wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

After Jiang Yun said that, Qin Xiaoxi felt that the patterns on the bottom of the Frost Dragon were indeed humanoid, but their appearance was too simple and crude.

“Is that so? I really couldn’t tell if I didn’t look carefully.”

“These small people… could it be that humans were living in the Northern Region?” Qin Xiaoxi was very surprised.

Jiang Yun nodded.

“We can’t rule out this possibility. We have all been misled by the legends. “According to what you said, the Northern Region could be considered a Divine Region in the past. The stone gate where we are standing now was likely built by the natives before the Northern Region was destroyed.”

Qin Xiaoxi also felt that Jiang Yun’s words were very reasonable. However, if he explained it this way, then these two huge long dragons were really the invaders.

“Then what are these two black dragons?”

“They should be some kind of depiction of the invaders. I can’t guess it.” Jiang Yun shook his head, deep in thought. “If that’s the case, then everything makes sense. This place is the ruins of the natives of the Northern Region. It was built before the Frost Dragon went berserk. But from the contents of the murals, it should be the natives’ supreme belief in the Frost Dragon. And to them, the Frost Dragon is a god and a protector.”

“Not bad, Jiang Yun. Your reasoning makes a lot of sense.” Qin Xiaoxi nodded her head in admiration. But if that was the case, then the other two black dragons were too strange.

“What kind of power could cause an ancient creature like the Frost Dragon to go berserk a thousand years ago? An existence that could make the natives of the Northern Region worship as an ancient god would go crazy one day.” Qin Xiaoxi was very puzzled about this.

Jiang Yun was also thinking about this question.

The Frost Dragon that was regarded as an ancient god was actually corrupted by the darkness. It could be seen that the enemies it faced were extremely terrifying.

However, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi had no way of knowing what it was.

“Hey, do you think that the corpse we saw just now is the dead body of the natives?” Qin Xiaoxi suddenly asked.

“This is ridiculous, this myth is at least 3,000 years old. Even if it’s a 3,000-year-old corpse, without spiritual power or special treatment methods, it should have turned into ashes a long time ago.” Jiang Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

“What if it’s also a cultivator?”

“Well, if this cultivator can cast cultivation techniques to preserve his own body after death, what kind of realm would he be at?” Jiang Yun quickly teased.

“Oh, I know, I know.” Qin Xiaoxi shook her head helplessly.

“But judging from the appearance of the corpse, it’s probably 50 to 60 years old. I think this is most likely the caravan from Thunder City that went to the Northern Region several decades ago. He must have gotten lost with his companions and fell into this cave.”

“If the road he was taking was blocked, can’t he climb out? What about his clothes?” Qin Xiaoxi asked curiously.

“What kind of strange question is that? I’m just guessing. It doesn’t matter where his clothes are, because we are the ones who will be sealed here.” Jiang Yun quickly facepalmed.

“Don’t tell me that. But we can try to open this stone door later. Maybe we can pass through the path that he couldn’t,” Qin Xiaoxi said as she walked to the mural on the other side.

Qin Xiaoxi’s suggestion was not wrong. Now that the way back was blocked, they should think of a way to open the stone door. Excluding the reason why the corpse had no clothes, it was very likely that the person was trapped here and starved to death because he couldn’t open the stone door.

“Yes, that’s true.”

“But I think the caravan that went to the Northern Region decades ago was not just merchants.”

“That’s true. There must be a top-notch expert among them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have arrived here, nor would they have allowed the extremely precious Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma to appear on the market. The people who came here may have their motives. However, very few people actually went back in the end,” Jiang Yun said.

“That’s true. There are all kinds of monsters that I’ve never seen before in this place. The spiritual energy that they have accumulated is also of the highest quality.” Qin Xiaoxi believed this to be true as she could feel the unique spiritual energy from the snow monsters. “Hey, Jiang Yun.”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yun heard Qin Xiaoxi calling out to him and also felt very strange.

“There are two new carvings here. Come and take a look,” Qin Xiaoxi quickly shouted.

Jiang Yun naturally rushed forward. There must be many clues hidden in the carvings on the stone doors of the ruins. Maybe it can help them to open the heavy stone door.

“Look at this.”

The two of them noticed the second carving on the stone door. This carving was located in the middle of the two doors. It was perfectly connected by the two doors. The patterns on it were slightly more exquisite than the previous one. At the very least, it did not have the same abstract appearance as the first one. The two of them began to study what was so strange about these carvings. The few lines on the carvings gathered into a few buildings that had a strange shape. They were completely different from the buildings in Thunder City. All of these buildings were squarish and upright, furthermore, there were many more delicate patterns on these buildings.
