Chapter 125: The Mysterious Stone Chamber

  After two dangers, Du Fei also ushered in a few days of peaceful life. Although there was no more obstruction from the apes, within the Human Valley Gorge, crises were lurking everywhere, and Du Fei had to be on high alert to deal with all sorts of situations that might arise.

  This valley is also extremely mysterious, originally the valley was only visible between two extremely high mountain ranges, but the area of the valley is difficult to estimate. Although it's a valley, the scenery here is also unique and has characteristics that are beyond comparison with the outside world. This is also a special ecosystem because the yuanqi is more concentrated than the outside world, so the animals and plants inside are larger than those on the outside, and the minerals and rare vegetation inside are extremely rich.

  In the daytime, there was a burst of birdsong and fragrant flowers, with warm sunshine and peaceful scenery. The surrounding area was home to gentle animals, rarely any ferocious beasts, and mountains, forests, and lakes were everywhere. However, after nightfall, the scenery changed completely. Those rare minerals and plants only appeared at night, and what's even stranger is that a bloody color would emerge, with a bloody smell spreading throughout the valley. No matter where Du Fei walked at night, there was always a bloody smell, and those ferocious yuan beasts would appear everywhere. These yuan beasts were much larger than any Du Fei had seen before, although they were of the same species, their development was not on the same level. Moreover, from time to time, human figures would appear, but these people were extremely strange, with almost no human consciousness, completely beastly consciousness. This place was far more dangerous than the Demon Mountain Range that Du Fei had traversed before, and Du Fei was clearly aware of this point.

  It's already nighttime, and Du Fei is fully armed, with metal equipment all over his body. He's scouting around to prevent any potential dangers that could happen at any moment. At this time, the Wordless Heavenly Book is stuck on Du Fei's left arm, giving him a familiar feeling from when he was in the Demon Mountain Range.

  "Ah, found anything? If not, I'll go get that ore over there." Du Fei asked in a low voice, occasionally glancing at the large silver-white ore embedded in the stone wall far away. He had also recognized the name of the ore at a glance. The ore embedded in the stone wall was called Silver Steel Iron Ore, which was relatively rare and precious. If used to forge equipment or blades, its effect would be several times stronger than refined iron. However, smelting this Silver Steel Iron Ore was also quite troublesome due to its hardness, requiring great effort to refine it to a high purity. Generally, few casting masters would use this ore for casting, firstly because it was rare, and secondly because it was too difficult to purify. But for Du Fei, it wasn't a big deal, after all, apart from having a lot of strength and energy, he didn't have many other advantages.

  "Still be careful, although no other auras are detected now, it can't be said to be absolutely safe." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Alright, I'm ready to set off." Du Fei rubbed his fists and stood up, and with a few flashes, he had already climbed to the bottom of the cliff. He looked around cautiously for a while, confirming that there was no danger, then took a deep breath and jumped onto the stone wall, grabbing a protruding rock with one hand. Step by step, he carefully made his way towards the location of the Silver Steel Iron Stone. Du Fei had originally wanted to fly, but when he received the Wordless Heavenly Book, he could only fly at an altitude of about three or four meters. If he flew any higher, a powerful pressure would weigh him down, making it hard for him to breathe. Du Fei didn't know why this was the case. Now, he had no choice but to use the most foolish method - rock climbing.

  "Ah, finally!" Du Fei exclaimed excitedly, grasping the protruding part of the silver steel stone with a joyful smile, like a child who had just eaten honey. With one hand holding onto the rock on the wall to steady himself, he used his other hand to pull at the silver steel stone with all his might, trying to use brute force to yank it down. However, no matter how hard Du Fei tried, the silver steel stone didn't budge even a little, leaving him drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

  "Your grandfather's. This is quite hard, it seems that I still need to work a bit harder today." As soon as he finished speaking, a pure black ancient vertical hammer appeared in Du Fei's hand, which was the (Bà Tiān Chuí). Just as Du Fei grasped the Bà Tiān Chuí, the stone he was holding suddenly cracked open, and Du Fei was also shocked, rapidly falling down.

  "Ah, it hurts so much." Du Fei crashed down from a dozen meters away, crying out in pain. He got up, rubbed his butt, and said with a pained expression: "Damn, I forgot about the weight of this Tyrant's Fist earlier!" Indeed, Du Fei had forgotten about the weight of the Tyrant's Fist, which was why the stone block couldn't withstand its weight and broke off, causing him to crash down heavily.

  "It seems that's the only way." After finishing speaking, Du Fei suddenly grabbed the Ba Tian hammer and took a few steps towards the stone wall. His speed was extremely fast, and because of the Ba Tian hammer in his hand, Du Fei's weight increased instantly, leaving several clear footprints on the stone wall. In just a few strides, Du Fei arrived at the location of the silver steel iron stone, raised the Ba Tian hammer and struck it down with great force towards the protruding part of the silver steel iron stone, exerting a power of several thousand kilograms in one strike.

  A loud "clang" echoed, and Du Fei also clearly felt his hand holding the Baxian hammer shaking violently, causing his body to shake along with it. A numbness spread instantly to his hands. The silver steel iron ore that was struck by Du Fei's powerful blow also showed obvious signs of loosening, with the protruding parts becoming even more pronounced.

  Du Fei saw that he had achieved an effect and excitedly laughed out loud. He took a few steps back, positioning himself higher than before, and swung the Baxian hammer again, striking down violently, "Dang...". After several consecutive heavy blows, the surface of the silver steel iron ore already showed a clear depression mark, all thanks to Du Fei's Baxian hammer.

  At this time, the silver steel iron ore had already revealed most of its appearance. The massive ore was about 4-5 meters in diameter, elliptical in shape, and silvery white in color. After swaying back and forth on the stone wall for a few times, it fell to the ground, instantly creating a large crater on the surface, sending up thick dust.

  "Ah, cough...!" Du Fei changed to a cough and waved the dust in front of his eyes. Seeing the silver steel iron stone appear in front of him, Du Fei was also extremely excited and hugged the huge ore tightly. "Haha, I'm rich, I'm rich! Haha..." Du Fei laughed uncontrollably.

  At this moment, the Wordless Heavenly Book shone with a burst of white light. Du Fei quickly reacted and saw: "Young man, you're excited, take a look at what's on the stone wall." Du Fei raised his head to look at the stone wall, and at this time, he only saw that a large hole had appeared on the stone wall, which was exactly where the ore was embedded earlier. Du Fei suddenly jumped up and lay down at the entrance of the hole, looking inside, but it was pitch black and couldn't see anything. Du Fei shouted into the hole "Hey", and only heard a long echo coming from inside the hole. Du Fei also felt strange, picked up a stone beside him and threw it into the stone hole. Only to hear that after a series of "ding dong" sounds inside the cave, there was no response. Du Fei felt even stranger, quickly opening the Eye Technique in the Heavenly Origin Scripture, but still didn't gain anything.

  "How did this big hole get here?" Du Fei asked the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "How would I know? Do you want to go inside the cave and take a look?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Come and take a look, what's so good about it? Now I've found such a good piece of ore, who cares what it is?" Du Fei said. "You little brat really has no vision, you think with your butt, who would use such precious steel to seal off a cave entrance? There must be something inside that's even more valuable than the ore." Wu Zi Tian Shu wrote.

  "That's right, you're making sense. Shall we go in and take a look?" Du Fei suddenly realized.

  "That's not going to help you walk fast." The wordless heavenly book wrote. Du Fei saw this and immediately put the silver steel iron ore on the ground into his own container. He jumped up to the entrance of the cave on the stone wall in an instant. Du Fei stretched out his head to explore the entrance, but he didn't notice that his foot was stepping on a small stone, and with a sudden slip, he fell into the cave. Du Fei never expected that the cave would be sloping, and at this time, Du Fei rapidly slid down along the passage, because the inside of the passage was not smooth, with fine small stones, uneven and bumpy. During the sliding process, Du Fei was in pain, his body already bruised and battered. "Ah ah ouch..." Du Fei rolled and fell while shouting.

  With a "splash", Du Fei fell into the water, and then quickly surfaced to look around. Now that he had a clear view of his surroundings, he saw that he was in a huge swimming pool located at the center of a large stone structure. The buildings surrounding the pool were made of stone and were unlike anything Du Fei had ever seen before - he didn't even know what era they were from. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the space inside was square-shaped, like a secret stone chamber, roughly 1,000 square meters in size. Not far away, on the surface of the stone wall, numerous white crystals were embedded, emitting a bright light that illuminated the entire chamber, making it somewhat dim.

  Du Fei quickly swam out of the pool and wandered around inside the stone chamber, carefully examining every nook and cranny. The room was spotless and quiet, to the point where even Du Fei's breathing seemed to echo off the walls. The eerie silence sent shivers down his spine. As he walked along the stone wall, he carefully examined the surface. Suddenly, he discovered numerous strange symbols and simple drawings...
