CHAPTER 727: CHAPTER 351: THE QILIN VENERABLE’S SECRET (PART 2)

Gu Jianlin came to the second-floor study, and what he saw was shocking!

Because this study was filled with horrifying skeletal specimens that were definitely not creatures from Earth. Some looked like miniature flying dragons, others like monstrous birds with four pairs of bone wings, there were even moose-like creatures with bone spikes all over their bodies, and a whale-like skeleton with a huge horn on its head.

These skeletal specimens seemed as delicate as models, yet their bones were as translucent as white jade.

"These seem to be from the Ancient God Clan."

Moon Princess murmured softly: "The problem is the Ancient God Clan members were enormous. Someone once collected a corpse of an Ancestor, which almost occupied the size of a football field. Why are these specimens so small?"

Gu Jianlin was also curious about this question.

However, half a minute later, he knew the answer.

He discovered a pile of blueprints on the desk, depicting human cross-sections with fetus-like monsters curled up in the abdomen, growing veins like cocoons.

These veins would infiltrate human organs, presumably to absorb nutrients.

There was also a comparison diagram of a female host body.

These blueprints even marked data, showing that for Ancient God Clan hosts, females had an advantage because they possessed a uterus.

"It’s truly revolting."

Moon Princess’s eyes were cold, unrestrained in her killing intent.

"It’s indeed too inhumane."

Gu Jianlin said in a low voice: "I imagine these Ancestor specimens were forcibly extracted and killed from their hosts. Even the high and mighty Ancient God Clan is treated like livestock to be butchered and dissected?"

At this moment, Moon Princess suddenly looked up at him.

Gu Jianlin noticed her gaze, slightly taken aback.

"Something’s not right."

He suddenly said: "Mr. Solomon, is he really human?"

The Order of the Hidden, with Supreme Level methods, dominated human history.

Such a terrifying organization, how could its leader be just a human?

He looked at the computer on the desk, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Because he realized that he might be peering into the secret of an Ancient God Clan member.

"Let me do it."

Moon Princess sat in front of the desk and opened the Apple laptop.

This matter needed to be handled by a professional.

She inserted a USB drive into the computer port, successfully booting the system and bypassing the password verification stage, as streams of data overflowed on the screen.

The faint glow illuminated her clear and serene eyes, as pure as the surface of Lake Baikal.

With her skillful operation, she successfully booted the computer.

Gu Jianlin thought she’s truly a professional, a student trained by Old Gu.

"Your little girlfriend isn’t bad."

Skylark commented in his mind: "If it were me, the computer might self-destruct."

Gu Jianlin remained silent for a moment, then remarked: "Don’t you think our partnership lacks something? I know nothing about Ancient God Clan affairs, and you are only interested in indulging in pleasures of the real world."

Skylark confidently said: "That’s why I chose you. When it comes to the Ancient God Realm, it’s my job. In the real world, it’s your responsibility to handle those messy things. Isn’t it a good arrangement?"

Gu Jianlin had nothing to say.

Moon Princess suddenly said: "Look at this!"

Her voice was unprecedentedly urgent, as if she had lost her usual poise.

Gu Jianlin looked at the computer screen, which was playing a video she had just opened.

It was a video akin to a documentary, recorded from the first-person perspective by attaching the camera to the filmmaker’s head. Many wilderness shows use this method for realism and immersion.

The shooting location was surprisingly a giant tomb, standing upside down like a pyramid in the desolate desert, with its apex hovering above the ground. A massive stone staircase led to the entrance of the tomb, flanked by two black stone qilins, resembling weather-worn corpses of a millennium.

Even from afar, one could sense the tomb’s magnificence and grandeur.

Obviously, this was the second layer of the Qilin Immortal Palace!

The Order of the Hidden had obtained the first-hand valuable information!

The photographer was in a location resembling a giant stone array, with ancient murals drawn on weathered stone walls, painted with blood rather than dye, weaving the purest lines.

Below the stone wall was a pile of withered bones, with hair intertwining over millennia.

The skeletal remains, still posed as in life, knelt before the mural.

Thud.

The photographer was so frightened that he fell to the ground, immediately pointing the camera at the mural.

Moon Princess recoiled like a startled cat upon seeing the mural’s content, her pupils contracting.

"How is this possible?"

Gu Jianlin murmured to himself.

He too recognized the content of the mural.

Because the monsters depicted on the mural were very familiar to him.

Those creatures were dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs can be generally classified into two categories: avian and non-avian.

Non-avian dinosaurs lived during the Middle Ages, which includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. They were completely extinct around 65 million years ago. The most convincing theory is the meteorite theory.

Which involves a meteorite impact on Earth that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
