Just as Chu Feng was exclaiming in his heart, Wu Xie stretched out his hand and stopped him and Fatty.
Seeing that the two of them were puzzled and wanted to ask, Wu Xie hurriedly made a silencing gesture and pointed at the stone pier outside the underground forest.
Soon, Wu Xie took out a map on goatskin that looked quite dated.
Chu Feng saw from the side that it was a hand-drawn sketch of the Cloud Dingtian Palace, signed with the word 'Buddha'.
Could it be something left behind by Lord Zhang?
The Nine Gates and the Zhang Clan took turns guarding the Bronze Gate. What exactly happened back then?
Moreover, it was the Wu family who had been guarding it until now. Then which family was on duty previously?
Chu Feng couldn't help but have many questions, but he didn't say anything.
As a rice that had transmigrated, he naturally knew what a Human-Faced Bird was. However, he did not expect it to appear in a volcanic basin, and in an underground forest.
Shouldn't this Human-Faced Bird live on the stone walls of the cave?
Why did he appear here?
At this moment, the system's voice sounded.
"Ding! A rare symbiotic species, Human-faced Bird, has been detected in the tomb world. A temporary mission has been issued. Host, please capture a symbiotic sample alive!”
"The capture of a living symbiotic sample will activate the system's feedback mechanism. If the challenge is successful, the host will be rewarded with soundwave-level hearing!”
"This sound wave locating ability is a super powerful auxiliary combat ability!”
"Ding! Does the host accept it?"
Hearing this, Chu Feng hesitated.
This ability was very tempting to him now. After obtaining it, it would instantly surpass the hearing of his Four Ridge-Unloading Secrets, but the danger was undoubtedly huge.
One had to know that this was a human-faced bird!
And he even captured her alive?
The system's temporary mission was equivalent to an additional reward in addition to the main mission's check-in. He knew this, but it was a little troublesome.
The reason why it was said to be a symbiotic species was that Chu Feng had specially understood it before.
Mentioning the Human-Faced Bird, he had to mention the Mouth Monkey.
How should he understand it? It meant that there was an animal similar to a macaque in the mouth of the human-faced bird. The monkey's mouth had sharp teeth that were used to capture prey for food.
The monkey's digestive system was connected to the human-faced bird's esophagus. They were dependent on each other and could attack at the same time.
This was a rare animal symbiotic system!
Because the human-faced bird had been living in the dark underground world for a long time, its vision had deteriorated like 80% of the underground creatures. It could only rely on sound waves to distinguish the location of its prey.
"This human-faced bird really looks like an owl. It's a little tricky!”
After thinking about it, he decided to give it a try.
"A job? Wealth comes from danger!"
"Accept the mission!"
"Ding, the mission progress bar has been displayed. Please check the progress!”
Chu Feng was thinking of a strategy!
Immediately after, Wu Xie patted him and Fatty and called the two of them to start moving forward.
According to the route on the sheepskin map, Chu Feng found that the path was actually a small stone path hidden in the forest.
The small stone slabs were connected to each other, forming a stone path that they could walk on.
Seeing this road, Chu Feng instantly knew that it was man-made.
It was easy to understand why the Nine Gates had to make the necessary preparations in such a terrifying imperial tomb.
Since the human-faced bird stone block was erected here, there was no need to observe and guess. The human-faced bird on this stone block must be alive.
There were a lot of dead leaves in the forest, and they would make a sound if they were not careful.
Therefore, as long as someone entered, it was almost impossible for them to not make a sound. This was a dangerous path that they had to take to reach the Imperial Tombs.
"Hu hu hu…"
There was always a strong wind under the volcanic basin, so the branches of the underground forest rustled.
I hear the sound of the waves in the forest.
Because of this, the faint sound of walking on this small stone path would be covered by the wind.
After all, the human-faced bird wasn't intelligent enough, so he could fool it.
But even so, the three of them were still on tenterhooks.
"How exciting!"
Chu Feng screamed in his heart!
Yes, he was both afraid and nervous now.
Immediately, he discovered that these scattered stone blocks were arranged in a rare Nine Traversing Palaces grid.
There was a distance of about three meters between each stone block. They were spread out so that the Human-Faced Birds could be arranged into a tight net trap. This was the natural barrier to protect the Imperial Mausoleum.
It was also because he understood this point that Chu Feng was extremely impressed by someone who could build a stone path in such a ferocious environment.
How awesome was this?
The wisdom of the predecessors was simply unimaginable!
The three of them moved forward slowly.
Without knowing how big this underground forest was, Chu Feng would not make a move.
The more he understood, the more he saw, and the more nervous he became.
He did not know if he should continue with this temporary mission!
He was exchanging his life for it!
How could a Human-Faced Bird not make a sound when captured alive?
The answer was naturally impossible.
He felt that starting from the tunnel of the Burial Mausoleum, it should be called the Silent Land.
As they advanced, Chu Feng observed these stone blocks.
As he had expected, the human-faced birds on the stone blocks were living creatures.
At this moment, he was just sleeping!
After a short while, Chu Feng no longer looked at the sculptures. As he advanced, there were many more dead branches and leaves on the stone path.
He had to be careful. Otherwise, if he made a strange sound, he would be finished.
"After we pass through the underground forest, let Wu Xie and Fatty go to the outer imperial mausoleum to wait for us? And get a human-faced bird?"
"No, it's impossible to make it in time unless there's teleportation. Moreover, we don't know if there's any in the Imperial Tombs!”
At this moment, Chu Feng's heart was filled with thoughts of completing the mission.
However, at this moment, an accident still happened.
Wu Xie, who was leading the way in front, stepped down. The stone plate collapsed and he actually stepped on air.
"Ka-"
In an instant, Wu Xie staggered and was about to fall.
The fatty behind him quickly helped him up, but he still made a sound.
"Thud!"
The three of them were nervous and terrified, their hearts jumping to their throats.
The stone blocks around them began to tremble.
