"Mr. Nightmare Man, look, this is the pattern carved by Gu Jun, the mysterious hero." Peacock looked respectful.

Gu Jun looked at the stone on the yellow sand and walked over slowly. Night had gradually fallen, and the darkness engulfed the desert, but the imprint on that stone was still very conspicuous. The old seal looks like an antler, or a branch: a slanted main trunk in the middle, three horizontal branches on the left, and two on the right.

The closer he got, the more uncomfortable he felt. He didn't like this mark.

In other words, the dark power in his body didn't like this mark.

When this imprint is engraved on the stone, it seems to have a special power.

"What does this pattern mean?" Gu Jun deliberately asked Peacock. Those scratches in the stone looked pretty old, at least not recently.

"We regard it as a blessing." Peacock said with pride, "For three hundred years, it has been with our clan. Even in the most difficult time in Leng, the clan did not lose this sacred object. It is Our totem."

Three hundred years. Gu Jun frowned, the sage Balsai has been missing for three hundred years, and Peacock said that their ethnic group moved into this world for more than three hundred years.

Three hundred years ago, the summit of Mount Hartig-Kola revealed the old seal, and this stone...

The other stones around it are just ordinary big stones, only this stone has the old seal on it.

Gu Jun approached, bent over and stretched out his hand to caress the uneven stone surface. He couldn't feel anything, but the feeling of disgust became stronger.

He even had the feeling that he was not touching stones, but some kind of slimy liquid.

But at this time, he found that there was a gap in the stone that was slightly glowing, and the inner stone was of a different quality, it seemed to be...opal. He didn't know if opal was a stone unique to the earth, but this one was indeed different from the others here, like something foreign.

With more confusion entangled in his mind, Gu Jun first asked, "Where are the other holy objects?"

"Others..." Peacock hesitated, "I've only heard of them, but I've never actually seen them. Only the patriarchs can contact them."

"Take me to see." Gu Jun looked around, "Whether it's the patriarch or the wise man, let me see the holy relic. If there's no problem, I'll give you the "Nakt Manuscript"."

He realized that if Peacock was delusional and fantasizing, he had better cooperate with her to finish the scene, so as to get more information.

Sure enough, Peacock walked back and muttered to the air, then turned his head and said, "Mr. Nightmare Man, I hope you will keep your promise, please come this way."

Gu Jun followed her, and Mo Qing also followed.

Although the ancestors were very apprehensive and frightened, they couldn't miss the excitement, so they followed behind stealthily.

Perhaps in Peacock's fantasy, Dadi City is a vast town that can accommodate more than 30,000 people for living and activities. But at this time, the two leading the way hadn't walked forward for less than 20 meters. They were still by the rotten lake, and the peacock looked up at something, "Here we are, our temple."

She's been out of her mind since she's been in the Great Earth, but maybe it's always been that way.

Gu Jun followed them into the temple again, and walked around in circles almost on the same spot. He walked through many checkpoints in the temple. After a solemn ceremony, the patriarch finally took the other holy object. It came out—the peacock had dug something out of a mound of weeds and handed it to him.

This is a large scale. He took it in his hand and looked at it, frowning.

The scales are as big as a page of A4 paper, as thick as a finger, hard, with layers of delicate small scales, glowing with colorful light, and seem to have a metallic luster.

"Have you ever seen something like this?" He asked the Zugs. It should have been something that once grew on some kind of creature.

The ancestors came up to touch and sniff, patted their heads and said, "I haven't seen it before, but I'm sure it's not fish scales, and it doesn't have that nasty fishy smell." All the ancestors said it was the first time they saw it, Unexpectedly, Dadi City still has such a treasure hidden, and selling it to black merchants can exchange for a lot of grouse.

"It is said that these are the scales left by a patient with heterosquamia." Peacock said, "A great person."

However, she couldn't tell who came, her old world legends were like this, except for Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu, she couldn't tell the name or title.

Now Gu Jun asked her about those so-called doctors and wise men, but it was the same.

"Any other sacred objects?" He could only ask.

"The patriarch hopes that these ancestors can leave first." Peacock continued to pass the microphone in front of his request, "This involves some secrets of our clan..."

Gu Jun nodded in agreement, and Mo Qing left with the unhappy ancestors. In fact, it was only thirty or forty meters away, but it seemed that it was already far away.

Peacock found something again from the grass, but it was a small piece of animal skin with ragged edges, and she solemnly handed it to him, "This is the last sacred object."

He took it over and looked at it. It was also the skin of an unknown creature. It was old but still tough. There were two lines of blurred blood characters on it, which were also mutated Chinese characters:

[Secret talisman comes out, death arrives, phantom appears, madness appears

Mystery is chaotic, disasters occur, rebellion arises, and great shattering occurs]

"What do these mean?" Gu Jun fixed his eyes, feeling a sense of illusion in his heart, "Peacock, repeat everything you heard from the patriarch and the doctors."

It was also the first time for Peacock to hear these secrets. As he listened and talked, his face gradually became tense: "After ten thousand fires moved into Leng, they tried their best to preserve knowledge and history. These animal skins are one of them. One, but was lost in the wandering years, and finally only this one remained."

She suddenly froze, as if she had been greatly overturned, and said in shock: "Dr. Mingyu, are you serious? But! Oh..."

"Dr. Mingyu said that in fact, the Golden Age of the Last Epoch was not so peaceful." Peacock's voice was blank, as if he did not want to believe these words: "According to rumors and research, 'Tianji Chao' and 'Rebellion' means the World Occult Alliance The predecessor of the Tianji organization, internal rebel forces emerged, and these traitors caused a very serious disaster, prompting the arrival of the era of great mutation."

Her voice became softer and softer, until it was almost a murmur.

In her perception, human beings are extremely united, and the Tianji Organization and the World Occult Alliance are the beacons that lead mankind forward.

"Rebellion?" Gu Jun's heart twitched, as if he had been stabbed, and his complicated emotions were surging. But this possibility did not feel impossible.

He doesn't know about the World Occult Alliance, but he knows that the Bureau of Secrets is too short of people, even to isolate the patients with nightmares alone, there is not enough manpower.

The Bureau of Secrets will inevitably recruit more personnel. If the Magic Department is established, there will definitely be a round of recruitment...

Moreover, traitors do not necessarily appear among the new members, and the thoughts and positions of the old members can also change. Even the rebels have been in the bureau for a long time.
