Douluo: My mother is Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue is my sister

Chapter 40 New Mission, Exploring the Ruins
The group set out on their journey again, but they did not travel very fast. When they first set out, they could pass through two cities in one day, but now they only traveled less than a quarter of the distance they had before.

They walked slowly like this for a month, and when it was almost dark, they stopped in a valley.

Yue Guan said: "Saint, the clouds in the sky are very thick. I'm afraid it will rain heavily tonight. It's a bit dangerous to spend the night in the valley. Let's look for someone nearby!"

Gui Mei nodded and agreed, "On the way here, I saw large areas of wild grass on the roadside that were eaten by animals. Wild animals generally don't eat in such a regular pattern. There should be herdsmen nearby. Let's look for them and stay with them for the night."

Bibi Dong looked at Xue Mo in her arms and asked, "Mo'er, what do you think?"

Xue Mo was a little speechless. Bibi Dong started again. Along the way, Bibi Dong asked for his opinion on almost all the issues. Couldn't they just make the decision on such a small matter by themselves? This is not how you should be a son's slave!

Xue Mo was about to nod his agreement when a system notification sounded in his mind:
[The limited-time mission "Explore the Ruins" has been triggered]

[Task requirements: Complete the ruins exploration within the specified time. The mission will be considered completed if the exploration progress exceeds 70%]

[Task time limit: 48 hours, 52 minutes and 32 seconds]

[Task Reward: Growth value 1000 × percentage of exploration completed within the time limit]

Finally, another mission is here! It's a very generous mission. After completing the mission, you will get a growth value starting at 700, up to 1000!

It will take some time for me to be weaned, and I don’t know when I can get the remaining 5000 growth points from the main task. My current growth points are only a pitiful 100 points. This task starting from 700 comes at the right time!
Why is the time limit for this task so strange? It even includes minutes and seconds!
The mission requires exploring the ruins. Where are these ruins?
Xue Mo looked around and easily saw a mountain wall flashing with light.

There was nothing there when they just passed by. Presumably the system had specially marked the location of the entrance to the ruins for him.

This system is really considerate! It would be better if there were more daily tasks or something like that.

Xue Mo pointed at the location where the light was coming from and babbled something. The three of them looked over, all with confusion on their faces.

It seems that they cannot see the light there, that light can only be seen by themselves.

Xue Mo continued to point at the entrance of the ruins and speak in baby language. The three of them walked over and observed the mountain wall.

Yue Guan said: "The cracks here are filled with dirt and weeds. It looks like there should have been a cave here that could accommodate one person. Saint, please move aside for a moment. I will dig this open."

Bibi Dong nodded and stepped back a little. Yue Guan summoned her martial soul, and a strange velvety chrysanthemum drilled into the gap that was not completely filled. Not long after, the chrysanthemum drilled out again, and its huge root system rolled up all the soil that filled the hole and dragged it out bit by bit.

"Sure enough, there is a cave." Yue Guan said, "Young Master is really amazing. He can find such a hidden cave."

Bibi Dong smiled complacently, and then said: "Let's go in and take a look. If the environment is okay, we can spend the night in the cave tonight."

The ghost said, "I'll go in and explore the way first, and wait for my news."

After saying that, the ghost flashed into the cave.

Not long after, the ghost came back and reported: "Saint, the entrance of the cave is narrow, but the interior is very spacious. There is also a hidden river inside. The ventilation conditions are good, and it is not particularly humid. You can stay here for one night."

Bibi Dong nodded: "Well, that's good, let's go in."

Three people and a child entered the cave. The entrance was indeed narrow and only allowed one person to pass through. After walking through this narrow path, the interior suddenly became open.

Sorry for using the wrong idiom. “Huo” is enough, but it is not “Bright” at all. It is pitch black inside, without any light at all.

Yue Guan took out a torch and a fire starter, lit the torch, and provided some light. Bibi Dong looked around and said, "This place doesn't look like it was formed naturally... No, it should be formed naturally, but there are obvious signs of human modification."

Yue Guan observed it carefully and said, "Indeed, there are traces of carvings on the wall. Judging from the density of the carvings, it should not have been made by one person. Many people must have lived here before."

Xue Mo showed an excited expression, raised his hands and said: "Yo! Yo!"

Bibi Dong looked at Xue Mo's excitement and said with a smile, "Mo'er, do you want to explore the cave?"

Xue Mo nodded: "Yeah!"

"Okay, let's start exploring!"

Bibi Dong held Xue Mo in one hand and lit a torch, leading the team to explore the cave.

No one knew where the murals in the cave started, and the pictures were messy and disorganized. There were not only paintings, but also some texts that no one could understand. It looked like a notebook of a primitive tribe.

The image of dragon often appears in these murals. Although the shapes vary and the styles of the sculptors are different, one thing they have in common is that the patterns of these dragons are more detailed than anything else.

It is obvious that the people of this tribe worship dragons.

However, dragon-shaped soul beasts have not appeared in the Douluo Continent for a long time, and they cannot recognize what the dragons in these murals are.

After walking for a long time, they found another passage on the other side of the underground river. They crossed the underground river and walked into the passage.

Compared to the outside, the traces of artificial modification inside this passage are more obvious, as if this passage was dug out by humans. It is not too difficult for the people of Douluo Continent to dig a passage inside the mountain. Several weapon spirit masters above the Soul Sect level are capable of doing it. However, for primitive people, this is definitely a huge project.

This was just the beginning. After walking through a long corridor, they found that the interior became spacious again. There was a hall and dozens of small rooms carved out separately, and the atmosphere of life became more and more intense.

They looked at each room one by one, and they were all empty, without even a dead body. It seemed that the group of primitive people had moved away later.

They spent so much effort to dig the cave, but they just moved it away? What did they go through?
Yue Guan said with some disappointment: "Saint, it seems that there is nothing good in this cave. Let's stay for one night and then leave."

Xue Mo curled his lips.

We have only just started! The exploration progress is less than 10%! How could there be no good stuff in the ruins that the system specifically asked us to explore?
But I am indeed a little sleepy, so it would be okay to take a nap first.

……

At the same time, outside the cave.

Liu Erlong said excitedly: "Xiaogang! Look, there is a cave here! Let's go in and take a look!"

Yu Xiaogang said, "Wait a moment. Don't just go into this kind of unfamiliar enclosed space. I'll let Sanpao go in and take a look first."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang released his martial spirit, and the fat dog Luo Sanpao fell to the ground. After taking two steps forward, he suddenly ran back, barking at Yu Xiaogang's feet.

Flanders asked, "What's wrong? Can't we enter this cave?"

Yu Xiaogang did not answer Flanders' question. He looked at Luo Sanpao in shock, muttering, "Dong... Dong'er..."
