Chapter 450 Where Confucius Went
The ghostly eyes stared at Ye Ru, causing his expression to change, and he almost reflexively darted in the opposite direction.
However, at that moment, the will-o'-the-wisp-like eyes also crashed fiercely towards Ye Ru, and in an instant, a huge object appeared right under Ye Ru's nose.
This was a giant octopus with enormous tentacles, giving it a super ferocious appearance. As soon as it appeared, it attacked Ye Ru directly.
The octopus's massive tentacles, as thick as an arm, slammed directly at Ye Ru like sharp swords, creating a series of explosive sounds as they passed through.
This scene caused Ye Ru's expression to change. His inner energy surged rapidly, and with a tap of his foot, he easily dodged the tentacle. The next moment, profound thoughts and ideas emanated from his body, and he launched them in a triangular formation at the octopus's tentacles.
Even Ye Ru couldn't have imagined, no matter how hard he racked his brains, that there was such a powerful creature here.
Moreover, this creature seems to have come prepared, likely because it has lived here for a long time.
"It's a good thing that the Qian family didn't come, otherwise, there probably wouldn't be a single member of the Qian family left."
After assessing the opponent's strength, Ye Ru took a deep breath. He had a premonition that once the Qian family arrived, they would all become the octopus's meal.
The profound words collided with the octopus's tentacles, causing an explosion. The octopus, in pain, grew increasingly ferocious. Moments later, countless more tentacles sprouted from its back, unleashing an even more powerful surge of energy that locked onto Ye Ru from afar.
"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my peaceful cultivation? Do you want to die? Get out of here, human."
To Ye Ru's surprise, this giant octopus could actually talk.
"Excuse me, I'm only here to absorb the energy of this Ink Spring and have no intention of disturbing you. Please forgive me if I have offended you. I'll take my leave now!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Ye Ru clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.
Although he said that, his inner energy was still surging, and he knew how formidable his opponent was, so he did not relax in the slightest.
He understood the dangers of being caught off guard and losing his boat.
"Then how did you know about this place?"
To Ye Ru's relief, the octopus did not attack again after hearing his words. Instead, it kept its gaze fixed on him and said in a deep voice:
"Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to get here, so how did you get here?"
“I only saw a jade pendant, and it was this jade pendant that guided me here. If this jade pendant belongs to you, then I will return it to you.”
Ye Ru took out the jade pendant he had found and then showed it to the octopus. He didn't know what kind of creatures were around, and if he angered the octopus, it would be difficult to escape.
"This is a transparent jade pendant? Logically speaking, it's impossible for a human to obtain it or gain its approval. How did you get your hands on it?"
When the octopus saw the jade pendant, a look of doubt appeared on its face, and then it asked a question.
Ye Ru then told the octopus the whole story, and the octopus nodded in response. Then it took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It seems you are no ordinary person. Come with me."
After saying this, the octopus walked deeper into the cave.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ru followed closely behind.
"Kid, you've got some guts."
As they walked, the octopus spoke, which made Ye Ru chuckle bitterly. He thought to himself, "What courage? He just stumbled here by accident."
Although Ye Ru thought this in his heart, he did not show it, and then said:
"I simply wandered into this place by mistake and had no intention of offending you."
"This is a prehistoric land, and we are prehistoric creatures. Due to our limited resources, we can only retreat here. I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see a second human come here."
Nodding, the octopus didn't say much, but instead introduced itself to Ye Ru.
"Prehistoric creatures? How old would you be?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru couldn't help but swallow.
"We don't even know how old we are. Because of our scarce talent, we stopped growing a long time ago. Otherwise, do you think you humans could have ruled until now?"
Upon hearing this, the octopus couldn't help but chuckle, then looked at Ye Ru and said with extreme arrogance.
Ye Ru could only smile wryly at these words.
"Okay, here we are."
After walking for a while, the octopus suddenly stopped and looked into the distance. Ye Ru looked through the octopus's body and took a deep breath when he saw what was in the distance.
In the distance, a massive palace stood, upon which countless transparent pillars were erected, each containing a gigantic corpse.
The corpses inside these pillars looked as if they had been soaked in a potion; their faces were grotesque, but they had lost all vitality.
At the very top of the main hall, there was a pterosaur statue. The statue had a dragon's head and a human body, and its appearance was very majestic and imposing.
The enormous ancient palace made Ye Ru realize for the first time that there was such a vast underground world beneath the Confucian continent.
"This is our world. The changes on this continent are too great. Therefore, only the underground can accommodate our existence. And you are someone recognized by the Tongming Jade, so we will not harm you."
Seeing Ye Ru's extremely shocked expression, the octopus slowly spoke.
"What exactly is that Tongming Jade? And am I not the first person to come here?"
After a moment, Ye Ru came to his senses and, recalling what the other party had said earlier, asked in confusion.
"You could say that you are not the first person to come here, because before you, there was someone who came here, but that was a long, long time ago. When he came, the Tongming Jade did not show any unusual fluctuations."
“He came here, learned our prehistoric writing, and then left again.”
Nodding, the octopus walked to a high platform in the distance. It seemed to be something extremely distant, and he spoke after a moment.
"Do you know his name?"
Ye Ru suppressed his curiosity and asked slowly, as if trying to guess who this person was.
However, what the octopus said next made Ye Ru's pupils dilate instantly, and his heart was filled with a stormy sea.
He said his name was Zhongni.
