Chapter 3558: Chapter 3550: Major Discovery

The overall height of the cellar is about three meters.

Just jumped down.

Landed on a pile of bones.

With years of weathering, the bones crumbled into ashes upon impact.

A cloud of dust arose.

Lightly brushing away the dust in front of his eyes.

Lin Yi held the flashlight.

Shone it around the place.

Found this place not that refined, the surrounding stones were very roughly polished.

The air is exceptionally damp.

And carries a foul odor.

Squat down, picked up a bone.

Held it in his hand and examined it, found it to be a hand bone.

About the same length as a normal human’s.

Threw it aside, Lin Yi picked up a leg bone.

Carefully, with only a slight increase in strength, it would crumble into powder.

This time, Lin Yi discovered something different.

The leg bone was relatively short, more like a middle schooler’s.

But judging by the thickness, it was more like an adult’s.

Suddenly, Lin Yi’s expression changed.

Thought about the people in the island’s ruins.

Those people were small in stature, only about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall.

This leg bone perfectly matched their physical characteristics.

"Could it be that the Dwarf Clan escaped?"

Continued to check several more bones.

Found both normal and abnormal ones.

Lin Yi had a general guess in his mind.

There are bodies of normal humans and dwarves here.

They were thrown here because they were failed experiments.

The dwarves were used as test subjects because these maniacs wanted to replicate divinity.

The experiments depicted on the murals can prove this point.

Lin Yi thought to himself.

Felt that some things were already confirmed.

The people here are the same as those in the island’s ruins.

They belong to the same tribe.

These crazy people rebuilt their home here.

Later generations called it the Mayan civilization.

Dug around the ground with a dagger, found nothing but bones.

There’s nothing noteworthy on the walls either.

Lin Yi didn’t continue to examine here.

Jumped up, grabbed the rock slab above.

Nimbly climbed back up.

"Boss, any discoveries?"

"It should be the Dwarf Clan, but there’s nothing down there. Let’s check elsewhere."

"Hmm."

"Lin Bro, look at the patterns on the ground, they seem not so simple."

Upon hearing Luo Qi’s words.

Everyone focused their flashlights on the ground.

Indeed found that the lines were orderly.

"Try to sketch the shapes on the ground, see what it is."

"Got it."

Lin Yi continued to inspect inside the stone chamber with the flashlight.

Carefully checked for a long time.

Found no mechanisms or secret rooms.

Lin Yi silently frowned.

If it’s just these things, this trip would be in vain.

The rewards from the system seemed not very fitting.

"Lin Bro, I sketched a rough image, looks like a winged snake."

Luo Qi walked over with a notebook:

"I’ve seen the photos you brought back from the ruins before, the patterns on the ground are a bit like that strange creature."

Lin Yi took the notebook, glanced at it.

Indeed found some similarities.

This further proved his speculation.

Death Hill and Mayan civilization are two different branches of the Tilia Island civilization.

Lin Yi looked around.

The things before him were not what he wanted.

"Keep looking, there should be other secret chambers, we just don’t know yet."

Lin Yi and the crew dispersed in various locations.

Kept knocking on walls, found all were solid, no possibility of secret rooms.

"Lin Bro, something’s not right, this place seems to have no secret chamber."

"There’s still one blind spot that’s unchecked."

Lin Yi’s gaze fell on the stone bed.

"Come over and help me move it."

Four men came to the stone table, worked together to move it away.

Yu Siying crouched down, knocked on the wall.

Found it was still solid.

This scene extinguished the fire ignited in everyone’s hearts once again.

Despite the thorough inspection, no secret compartment was found.

This indicates such a place is unlikely to exist.

But given the current situation, the discoveries here don’t hold much research value.

The crew fell into silence.

Especially Lin Yi, this result was unexpected for him.

"I feel the stone table is a bit strange."

Zhang Chaoyue’s words broke the silence.

Everyone looked at him.

"What’s strange about it?"

"My family used to mine stone materials, I know a bit about these things."

Zhang Chaoyue looked at the stone table and said:

"In my impression, this table weighs at least three tons, moving it should be quite hard for us, but it was relatively easy just now, feels not quite right."

"Is the table hollowed out?"

Luo Qi reminded everyone of something.

"Chisel it open and see."

Ordered, the crew put their skills to use.

Took out their knives, began hammering.

The dagger is specially made, extremely sharp.

The hardness of the stone, is somewhat lacking.

Each strike caused some stone to fall off.

Busy for over an hour.

Chiseled a third of the stone, unexpectedly found a hollow layer inside.

Everyone’s faces showed joy.

Excited, hands dancing and feet raising.

"Quick, quick, take out the things inside."

"Careful," Lin Yi reminded:

"After all this time, the materials might be very fragile."

"Understood."

Yu Siying cautiously pulled out three sheepskin scrolls from inside.

Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

A feeling of fortune arose in their hearts.

Who would’ve thought of hiding things inside the stone table.

Ordinary people would definitely not expect this.

There are three scrolls in total.

Each containing drawings and text.

To everyone’s delight, the scrolls feature cuneiform script.

Though translating them is challenging, it’s much simpler than Mayan text.

"This time we truly have a major discovery," Luo Qi said joyfully:

"If we bring these back, they can be used as translation materials, advancing our research progress significantly."

Lin Yi also heavily breathed out a sigh of relief.

As if he’d found countless treasure chests, but lacked the keys.

These sheepskin scrolls are the keys.

"Alright, do one final check, don’t miss any detail."

"Understood."

The crew dispersed once more.

However, they found nothing more.

Still, they took pictures and recorded the murals on the walls.

Facilitating the study of the tribe’s characteristics to unearth deeper clues.

"Boss, should we destroy this place or leave it?"

"Go back and drive those primitives away, seal off the cave entrance, so no one will discover this place. In the future, we can come back."

"Understood."

"Let’s go, wrap it up."

Everyone returned the way they came.

But at this moment!

Lin Yi’s communicator buzzed.

A message from Xiao Bing arrived.

"Lin Bro, it seems we’ve been discovered!"
