"System, can you recognize these patterns?"

Gu Ci asked, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Ding! System analysis in progress... Analysis failed! There is no match in the database. We can only preliminarily determine that these patterns are from an ancient graphic system!"

The system's cold voice sounded, but it brought a disappointing answer.

Gu Ci curled his lips, "What a useless system, it fails at the critical moment."

As he complained, he carefully observed the patterns on the stone wall, trying to find some clues.

These patterns have rough lines and various shapes, like some kind of ancient hieroglyphics, or some kind of mysterious totem. Gu Ci looked at them for a long time, but he was completely confused, feeling like he was reading a book from heaven.

Wukong seemed to be interested in these patterns as well. He poked his furry little head out of Gu Ci's arms, stared at the stone wall with his big black eyes, and made a squeaking sound from time to time, as if expressing his doubts.

"You don't understand it either?"

Gu Ci smiled helplessly and reached out to gently scratch Wukong's chin.

"Then, system, please scan all these patterns and back them up... I want to take them away!"

"Scan the backup? No problem!"

The system readily agreed, and then the pattern on the stone wall began to flicker, as if it was being scanned and copied by some force.

Gu Ci waited boredly and teased Wukong boredly. The little guy had been very excited since entering the cave, jumping up and down, not at all like before when he was sleeping soundly in his arms.

"Could it be that this little thing knows something?" Gu Ci looked at Wukong and speculated in his heart, "Could the pattern on the stone wall be the cultivation secrets of some ancient mythical beast? Or is it a treasure map?"

"Ding! Scanning completed! The pattern information has been entered into the system database!"

"So fast?"

Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you try again? Can't you really analyze what these patterns mean?"

"Ding! Analyzing...Analysis failed! There is no match in the database." The system's answer was as cold and ruthless as ever.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense!" Gu Ci waved his hands impatiently, "Since you can't analyze it, I'll study it myself!"

He just couldn't believe that with his intelligence, he couldn't handle these crappy patterns!

Gu Ci picked up Wukong and suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit.

"No, my goal is to get the heart blood of the Burning Sky Demon Ape so that I can enchant the Silicon-based Beast... But now, the Burning Sky Demon Ape has been reborn as this little thing. I can't kill Little Wukong, right?"

Gu Ci looked down at Wukong. The little guy was staring at him curiously with his big black eyes. From time to time, he would stick out his pink little tongue to lick his fingers, looking innocent.

"Kill you? I can't do it." Gu Ci tapped Wukong's forehead lightly. The little guy had thick skin and didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he rubbed his hand with his head, as if he was acting coquettishly.

"System, please help me search the area to see if there are any spoils left over from the previous battle with the Burning Sky Demon Ape?"

"Ding! Scan completed! No items related to the Burning Sky Demon Ape were found nearby." The cold voice of the system interrupted Gu Ci's thoughts.

"That's strange. Could it be that the demon ape left nothing behind after its death? That's impossible!" Gu Ci frowned, puzzled.

He held Wukong in his arms and began to search the area carefully. Wukong seemed to sense his mood and stopped jumping around like before. Instead, he lay obediently in his arms, looking around curiously with his big black eyes.

"Squeak?" Wukong suddenly shouted, jumped out of Gu Ci's arms, ran to a stone wall, pointed at a protruding stone with his little paws, and kept calling out.

"You mean, there is something here?" Gu Ci walked over and looked at the stone carefully.

The surface of the stone looked ordinary, no different from the other stones around it, but when Gu Ci touched it with his hand, he felt a faint energy fluctuation.

"Could it be that..." Gu Ci's heart moved, and he used his spiritual power to slap the stone with one palm.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone wall collapsed, revealing a pitch-black hole.

"Shit!" Gu Ci was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The dust cleared and the situation inside the cave gradually became clear.

This is a small stone chamber, only ten feet square. It is empty inside, with only a stone coffin placed quietly in the center.

The sarcophagus is completely black without any decoration. Its surface is engraved with dense runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Squeak!"

Wukong seemed to be very interested in the sarcophagus. He kept jumping around it and occasionally stretched out his little claws to scratch the runes.

"Don't move!"

Gu Ci grabbed Wukong and held it in his arms.

He always felt that this sarcophagus exuded a strange aura, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"System, can you recognize these runes?" Gu Ci asked.

"Ding! System analysis in progress...Analysis failed! There is no match in the database." The system's answer was as cold and ruthless as ever.

"It's like this again!" Gu Ci felt helpless. This broken system always failed at critical moments. Sooner or later, it would have to be dismantled!

"Forget it, never mind, let's see what's in this sarcophagus first!" Gu Ci gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk and find out.

He walked carefully to the sarcophagus, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the lid.

"Squeak!" Wukong seemed to feel the tense atmosphere as well. He grabbed Gu Ci's clothes tightly, staring at the inside of the sarcophagus with his big black eyes.

The coffin lid was completely opened and Gu Ci was stunned.

I saw that the coffin was filled with sticky liquid, emitting a strange fragrance, like some precious medicinal herb.

In the center of the liquid, there was a leopard-like creature floating. It was small and snow-white, except for a tuft of fiery red hair on its forehead, which looked like a dancing flame.

"What is this thing?" Gu Ci couldn't help but exclaim. This thing looked like both a divine beast and some kind of ferocious beast, making it difficult for him to tell the difference for a moment.

Wukong seemed to be very interested in this creature. He jumped out of Gu Ci's arms, ran to the sarcophagus, and stretched out his little claws to touch the creature.

"Don't move!" Gu Ci grabbed Wukong. This sarcophagus was very strange, and it was unknown whether the things inside were a blessing or a curse. If Wukong got hurt, he would have nowhere to cry.

Wukong was held by Gu Ci and squeaked twice in dissatisfaction, but it seemed to sense the extraordinaryness of this creature and finally retreated obediently to Gu Ci.
