Xiaoxiao.

Besides the colossal beast skeletons that exude a mysterious aura, the terrain of this canyon is also extremely peculiar.

On either side of the canyon stand two massive rocks, like pillars reaching to the sky, towering into the clouds.

The boulder is only 1 meter wide, but its height is nearly 1,000 meters!

It is hard to imagine how such a thin layer could withstand the vast and surging waters of that huge lake.

What's even more amazing is that despite the relentless impact of the lake's waves over the years, the surface of this boulder remains completely unmarked, as if time and the forces of nature have lost their effect here.

The common sense principle of "constant dripping wears away a stone" seems to have become an untenable paradox in this magical place.

The seemingly flimsy and fragile boulder remained as stable as Mount Tai and did not budge despite the constant pounding of the surging water.

From a distance, it looks as if it were forged from the strongest steel, indestructible, and standing proudly between heaven and earth.

The slender yet towering boulders, like a winding dragon, stretch endlessly into the depths of the canyon, seemingly without end, extending all the way to the darkest, most impenetrable part.

The surfaces of these boulders are exceptionally smooth, as shiny as a mirror, making them look like works of art meticulously crafted by skilled artisans.

Looking down from the sky, one is amazed to find that the two sides of the canyon stand straight and uniform, with huge rocks that look like two thin lines, forcefully splitting the once seamless lake in two.

The surging lake water roared forward like an enraged beast, but was mercilessly blocked by these two seemingly fragile thin stone lines.

Under the fierce mountain winds, the lake water pounded wildly against the thin and fragile stone line, splashing up countless crystal-clear water droplets and making a deafening roar.

This breathtaking sight creates a unique and unparalleled "wind-driven single-line" spectacle, leaving viewers mesmerized and in awe.

The lush, towering trees resemble a green ocean, growing densely together and filling almost every corner and crevice of the entire canyon.

These giant trees soar into the clouds, as if they are about to break through the sky. Their straight and upright trunks stand on the earth like pillars supporting the sky, forming a unique and breathtaking spectacle.

Standing amidst this magnificent scene, one cannot help but marvel at and admire the incredible creativity of nature.

However, at this moment, Kuang Zheng, Wu Ren, and Ying Yue were in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

The scene before them was so shocking that they were speechless for a moment.

The ground of the canyon was littered with enormous corpses, some of which were incomplete, but the remaining parts still allowed one to imagine their fierce appearance in life.

Deep within the canyon, an extremely powerful aura faintly emanated, like a colossal beast lurking in the darkness, exuding a chilling pressure.

Without a doubt, it's extremely dangerous inside...

Wu Ren, gazing at the deep, dark canyon that seemed to stretch endlessly, broke the silence first, saying, "Why don't we look for another way out? This place is too eerie; it's giving me the creeps."

This canyon is practically bottomless; it's like a bamboo pole plunged straight into the ground. If we really encounter that powerful beast, we won't even find a place to hide.

His words revealed a clear sense of fear and anxiety.

Ying Yue nodded in agreement with Wu Ren's suggestion, indicating that she also felt that avoiding this dangerous place was the best course of action.

Although they had been circling along the seemingly endless lakeshore for days, they had been unable to find a new path. However, the dark, deep canyon was indeed permeated with a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

Looking around, the ground was covered with piles of white bones. These animal bones looked very strange. They did not look like they had been torn and bitten by a powerful force. Instead, they looked like they had been frantically bitten by some kind of mysterious insects that had never been heard of before.

However, such speculation is too absurd and bizarre. After all, during their long journey through the wilderness, they had seen many strange and unusual kinds of mosquitoes, but they had never heard of any kind of mosquito that could bite a huge beast so badly that even its bones were broken!

It should be noted that even the Iron-Eating Beast, which is famous in the wilderness for its iron-hard mouth, probably could not achieve such astonishing destructive power with its sharp teeth, let alone those insignificant mosquitoes.

However, upon closer inspection, the bite marks left on the animal bones closely matched the characteristics of mosquito bites, showing no difference whatsoever. Faced with this series of unimaginable sights, everyone felt a thick gloom descend upon their hearts, and the entire atmosphere became incredibly eerie and sinister, sending chills down their spines.

Rushing in would clearly not have been a wise move, so Kuangzheng did not insist.

Just as they were about to turn and leave, Ying Yue suddenly let out a soft murmur: "Look, what is that over there?"

His tone conveyed a sense of urgency, along with a hint of disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Kuang Zheng and Wu Ren quickly looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a single-edged sword that was so rusted that it was unrecognizable, quietly leaning against the thick roots of a towering tree.

Due to the erosion of time, this single-edged sword has long lost its original appearance.

The entire knife was covered with a thick layer of rust, looking dilapidated and almost unrecognizable.

The blade was completely buried by piles of fallen leaves and dead branches, with only about a fist's length of the blade visible.

As for the hilt, it was tightly wrapped by the massive root system of the giant tree. Perhaps due to the passage of time, the hilt was covered with green moss that was identical to the tree trunk.

Viewed from a distance, the single-edged sword seemed to have become one with the tree trunk; without careful observation, its existence would be completely undetectable.

At first, Ying Yue only felt that the object in front of her looked somewhat familiar, but didn't pay much attention to it. However, when she looked closer, she was shocked. It turned out that the object that looked like a branch of a giant tree actually hid an astonishing secret—it was not a branch at all, but a standard single-edged sword from the Qin Empire!

This unexpected discovery thrilled the three people present. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief and ecstasy. Immediately afterward, they dashed off like arrows towards the location of the single-edged sword.

Upon approaching, they did not act rashly, but instead cautiously observed their surroundings to ensure there were no hidden dangers.

After a careful investigation, Wu Ren took a deep breath, slowly reached out, carefully grasped the hilt of the knife, and then slowly pulled it out from the thick layer of dead branches and leaves.

As the single-edged sword gradually emerged from the debris burying it, its true form was finally fully revealed to everyone.

The long sword was badly damaged, with less than half its original length remaining, and an irregular notch at the end of the blade.

The gap did not appear to be caused by cutting with other weapons, but rather by being broken by repeated blows from some small, sharp object.
