Jiang Fan and the others were also extremely shocked. Could it be that this was not Chi You's tomb, but the Yellow Emperor's tomb?
Or were Chi You's tomb and the Yellow Emperor's tomb originally one, and the strongest enemies were the best friends?
They continued to look at the murals, expecting them to depict the decisive battle between Chi You and the Yan-Huang Emperors.
But it did not. It seemed that many things happened before the decisive battle between Chi You and the Yan-Huang Emperors.
The murals showed the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor joining forces to eliminate nearby monsters.
One day, while pursuing a monster, they arrived at a swamp.
The swamp exerted a strong suction force, pulling the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor into a world called "Shanhai."
The monsters in Shanhai were incredibly powerful.
The first creature the Yan-Huang Emperors encountered was a Heluo fish with one head but ten bodies.
It took them immense effort to destroy all ten bodies of the Heluo fish.
However, the passage through the swamp that had brought them there had already closed. The Yan-Huang Emperors had no choice but to continue their journey together in this world called "Shanhai."
Next, they encountered many strange creatures.
After walking for a long time, the Yan-Huang Emperors arrived between two rivers named the Huai River and the Yellow River. Suddenly, a water god named Tianwu appeared between the rivers.
This Tianwu looked majestic like a divine beast, with a colorful tiger's body, eight heads, and all eight heads were human faces.
In addition, it had eight legs and eight long tails.
Its back was also like a tiger's, with shimmering patterns, and its fur was greenish-yellow.
Tianwu stirred up monstrous waves, preventing the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor from passing.
The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor jointly slew Tianwu. Tianwu's blood stained the river water red, and even the mud and sand in the river turned a vivid crimson.
After passing the river, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor arrived at a place called Jingshan.
This Jingshan was filled with volcanoes, spewing strong hydrogen sulfide gas.
The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, with their robust bodies, were not poisoned by the toxic gas erupting from the volcanoes.
They advanced through the volcanic area amidst terrifying heat and discovered a strange bird.
In Jingshan, there was a bird called Suan Yu. The bird had a long body and neck, resembling a snake.
However, it had two pairs of wings, six eyes, and three legs, looking like a snake with feet and wings.
Its cry sounded like it was calling its own name, and upon seeing the Yan-Huang Emperors, it launched an attack.
The Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor were no match for this bird and quickly fled down the mountain, encountering the native inhabitants of Jingshan.
It was said that the appearance of Suan Yu was a symbol of disaster, and terrible, chaotic events would occur in the area.
There was also an interesting legend that eating Suan Yu's flesh could make one immune to alcohol.
However, Suan Yu itself was very prone to getting drunk.
With the help of the locals, the Yan-Huang Emperors intoxicated Suan Yu with wine and killed it.
After Suan Yu died, sweet dew descended from the sky, and the entire volcanic region became tranquil.
Flowers and trees began to grow on the ground as well.
The viewers in the live stream, seeing the content of the murals, had already erupted in excitement.
"My heavens, what is this Shanhai world? This is exactly the content of the Shan Hai Jing!"
"So the legends in the Shan Hai Jing and the animals within are all real."
"It seems that the Yan-Huang Emperors were the first to experience a secret realm."
"Did they eventually get out of the secret realm?"
"Of course they got out, otherwise how could we, the descendants of Yan and Huang, exist?"
Professor Zhang and other professionals became even more excited, firing off super bullet comments in the live stream.
"It seems that the monsters of the Shan Hai Jing are truly existent."
"And the Shan Hai Jing is a world independent of our own."
"Whether this world is an extraterrestrial civilization's experimental ground or another independent secret realm, let's wait and see."
Jiang Fan and the others walked on, leisurely browsing the murals.
Next, the Yan-Huang Emperors continued their exploration in the world of the Shan Hai Jing, slaying many monsters.
Zhou Niannian whispered to Jiang Fan.
"Speaking of which, the vortex that sent the Yan-Huang Emperors over looks just like the teleportation gate we experienced!"
Jiang Fan nodded. That's right, this vortex did indeed resemble the teleportation gate that had transported them.
Moreover, the teleportation gate was one-way; once sent through, there was no returning.
Jiang Fan's attention was focused on the treasure swords in the hands of the Yan-Huang Emperors.
The murals were carved stone, and the colors of all the figures and monsters were the gray of stone.
The only special things were the treasure sword named "Xuanyuan" in the Yellow Emperor's hand and the treasure sword named "Blood Soul" in the Yan Emperor's hand.
Wherever the murals depicted these two swords, the swords were made of gold and red stone.
"These two treasure swords must be divine artifacts. How great it would be if I could get them!"
Jiang Fan looked at the treasure swords in the mural with envious eyes.
Many monsters were tough and thick-skinned, but before these swords, they were cut down like vegetables.
The material of these two treasure swords was definitely not ordinary metal.
Of course, not all monsters were ferocious; some monsters also became friends with the Yan-Huang Emperors.
For example, the three blue birds living on Qingwei Mountain could emit pleasant calls that brought good luck to those who heard them.
These three blue birds became good friends of the Yan-Huang Emperors.
There was also the human-faced, fish-bodied Lingyu in the sea, who also became friends with the Yan-Huang Emperors.
The form of this Lingyu was exactly like the mermaids in fairy tales, but it predated the mermaids of Western mythology by several thousand years.
Jiang Fan watched with delight, moving along the murals, admiring the peerless demeanor of the Yan-Huang Emperors.
Soon, they reached the end of the world of the Shan Hai Jing. Many monsters gathered, preparing for the final decisive battle with the Yan-Huang Emperors.
"Wow, so many monsters!"
Jiang Fan was also very familiar with the monsters from the Shan Hai Jing and began to explain them to Zhou Niannian.
"This ugly monster is called Zhen, it lives on Zhang'e Mountain, looks like a red leopard, has five tails and one horn. Its cry sounds like the sound of hitting stones. The phrase 'mian mu zheng zhang' (fierce-looking) refers to it!"
"This is no ordinary creature, this is Ying Long. It's a genuine fierce beast, with sharp teeth and claws. It's said to be infinitely powerful, capable of fighting Chi You to a draw!"
"This is Heng Gong fish. It looks very much like a red fish. It's said that it's a fish in the water during the day and can turn into a human at night. No matter how you boil it with hot water, it won't die. Its weakness is plums. If you boil it with three plums, it's done!"
As he spoke, Jiang Fan suddenly stopped talking, looking warily at the monsters at the end of the murals.
He had a vague feeling that something was not quite right with this group of monsters in the murals!
