Chapter 400

But he was speechless to find that this was actually a diary.

And, looking at the handwriting, it should be a girl's diary.

"No way, who puts a diary in such a precious box?"

"And has to add a formation and bury it underground in such a place."

"Is this recording something shameful, or is there some earth-shattering secret?"

Not only was Qin Feng speechless, but Lin An and the Black-Robed Man were also very surprised.

Who would have thought that the seemingly precious thing dug up in this place was actually a diary?

"What it is, we'll know once we take a look."

Speechless was speechless, but since the system map specifically marked it,

it proved that even if this thing was just a diary,

the content recorded in it must also be very useful.

At the very least, it was related to this mission.

Otherwise, the system wouldn't have done something unnecessary.

However, before they had time to continue turning the page,

Qin Feng suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a feeling of hair-raising horror.

It was as if he had been targeted by some huge crisis, which was very terrifying.

This made him subconsciously want to throw away the thing in his hand and hide from this place.

It was just that the Black-Robed Man's movements were faster than Qin Feng's.

Before Qin Feng could react, the Black-Robed Man had already moved.

He stood directly in front of Qin Feng and Lin An, drew a long sword from somewhere, and slashed at the blood-red shadow that suddenly appeared and rushed towards them.

After this blood-red shadow was slashed in two by a sword, Qin Feng and Lin An saw clearly that it was actually a giant centipede.

Entirely blood-red, several meters long, it looked very powerful and dangerous.

And this blood-red centipede had suddenly drilled out from the ground, aiming for the diary in their hands.

"That's strange, the animals here have never actively attacked us before."

"Even if we kicked a fire-red rabbit running on the ground, these rabbits would only run far away in a flash and would never turn back to attack us."

"But this centipede suddenly appeared and attacked us. There must be some reason behind this."

After the Black-Robed Man killed the centipede, he didn't relax at all, but frowned with some unease.

Such an anomaly must indicate something unusual.

He even suspected whether some danger would suddenly appear, or a large group of animals from here would come to besiege them.

Although the strength of the animals here didn't seem too strong, many ants could bite an elephant to death; one absolutely couldn't take it lightly.

To this, Qin Feng wasn't worried at all. "Don't worry, don't worry, the one attacking us is probably just this one, at most one or two more."

Compared to the Black-Robed Man's worry, Qin Feng was not worried at all.

Although the centipede had almost succeeded just now, this didn't affect Qin Feng's judgment.

This kind of scene was still very common.

Whether it was in novels or games,

generally speaking, some precious heavenly treasures, or things specifically stored by someone,

would have specialized guardian demonic beasts or spiritual beasts by their side.

Once someone coveted these things, they would be attacked by the demonic or spiritual beasts guarding them.

And this centipede, he thought, was such a situation.

The Black-Robed Man just hadn't thought of it for a moment.

After Qin Feng finished saying this, the Black-Robed Man thought of it too.

After all, compared to Qin Feng and Lin An, the Black-Robed Man had explored quite a few secret realms.

Regarding such things as guardian spiritual beasts, it wasn't that he hadn't seen them.

He just hadn't reacted for a moment.

After all, this was really just a diary, not a heavenly treasure.

Not expecting it was normal.

Among the three of them, it was actually only Lin An who had truly never seen or heard of such things elsewhere.

So, the conversation between Qin Feng and the Black-Robed Man left Lin An a bit confused.

However, thanks to Lin An's intelligence, even though she had never heard of or seen it,

she had generally guessed that this centipede should be related to the diary.

And, it was very likely guarding this diary.

Therefore, she didn't need to ask another question.

After dealing with this centipede, they waited for a few more minutes.

Seeing that no other demonic creatures came to attack them, the three of them then safely continued to turn to the next page of the diary.

This diary was just an ordinary diary.

There were no mechanisms or formations on it.

So they very easily saw all the content recorded in the diary.

The majority of the diary recorded the daily life of a maid.

And the last page of the diary recorded a very big upheaval.

And it was because of this upheaval that this maid chose to bury the diary here.

From the diary, they could analyze that this little girl was a maid to a princess of a country called the Sunset Empire.

And this place was actually the garden of the Sunset Empire.

She accompanied the princess here to pick flowers.

But was unfortunately ambushed in the process of picking flowers.

The other party was an assassin from the Moon Glory Empire, who had sneaked here, seemingly wanting to get something from the princess's hands.

As for what it was, the maid didn't know either.

It was just that this garden was the back garden of the Imperial Court.

If an assassin from the Moon Glory Empire had sneaked here, it proved that the Sunset Empire should have completely fallen.

Even if they left this garden now and returned to the Imperial Court of the Sunset Empire, there probably wouldn't be any way out.

So, the two maids and the princess, three people in total, passed through the Obsidian Tree forest and ran to this garden.

Hiding in this Scorching Sun Garden.

The diary ended abruptly here.

And this diary was buried in this garden.

This proved that the maid was very likely killed here.

But as for whether the princess and the other maid died, it was impossible to judge for now.

However, even if they didn't die at the time, after so many years, they were probably long dead.

It was just that, for an empire that could use such an extreme environment as a garden,

what kind of place was the Sunset Empire?

And what kind of empire was the Moon Glory Empire that could swallow it?

Upon reading all this, the Black-Robed Man and Lin An were still very shocked.

Through the diary, they could already guess that this Sunset Empire should be the ancient ruins the Black-Robed Man spoke of.

But if the Sunset Empire was really as powerful as reflected from the side of this diary,

why had they never heard of it?

Whether in official or unofficial history, they had never heard of it.

What kind of kingdom was this Sunset Empire? Why was there never any record of it in history?

Such a powerful empire, and the Moon Glory Empire that might be even more powerful than it,

should have left a heavy stroke in this history.

The Black-Robed Man and Lin An, two local people, really couldn't help but be shocked.
