When he heard the word "why", Ye Linglong was stunned on the spot.

The eldest sister raised the question, and the eldest brother-in-law then asked why. There are only three people here, so does this question require her to answer?

"So, you don't know why?"

"I don't know." Yu Honglan said as a matter of course: "You are the smartest here. If there is anyone who can figure this out, it must be you."

……

Thank you for the trust of Senior Sister and Brother-in-law, but there are no clues at hand. Do you want her to make up an answer out of thin air?

"What if I can't think of it?"

"Then don't worry about it." Yu Honglan looked at it in a carefree manner: "That happened many years ago. What does it have to do with us? Whether we know it or not, it will not affect our ability to be prepared to deal with the demons at any time in the future."

Ye Linglong chuckled when she heard this, she is worthy of being the eldest senior sister, when in doubt, she uses her fists to solve problems, she is broad-minded and optimistic, fierce but gentle.

"Your senior sister is right." Yan Jingyi finished speaking, and then he leaned close to Ye Linglong and added in a low voice: "I dare not be wrong."

After completing this sentence, Ye Linglong laughed even more happily.

But after laughing, Ye Linglong began to look curiously at the temple that had been half destroyed, and the collapsed statue inside the temple.

It was then that Ye Linglong discovered that this statue had no facial features.

Even though its body was covered with scars, one could still see that every part of it was carved very finely, except for its face, which was plain white with nothing carved on it.

This was not destroyed after the war, it was not carved in the first place.

This is very strange.

It is unreasonable that such a large palace was built and such a large statue was carved, taking so much time and effort, but in the end the facial features were not carved.

Because it is common sense that when worshiping a statue of a deity, its identity must be confirmed. If its identity is confirmed, how can it not have facial features?

Unless, its identity is unknown.

But this is also very strange. Why would they build such a large statue and spend so much energy on it if his identity is unknown?

Why did the demons choose to start a war on the gods' territory?

Ye Linglong shifted his gaze from the fallen statue and walked towards the collapsed walls around him.

There were murals carved on the walls, but they were destroyed in the ancient battle between gods and demons, and the murals are almost completely invisible.

But fortunately, she found two fragments close to each other on the ground, with complete ancient characters on them, and she recognized both of them.

"Advent."

Seeing that she had made some discovery, Yu Honglan and Yan Jingyi also came over. The three of them squatted together and looked down at the two fragments of text.

"What is coming?"

"It is a rare and complete word left on the wall. The statues have no facial features. Could it be that they are waiting for something to come?"

After Ye Linglong finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. Yu Honglan and Yan Jingyi also looked at these two words curiously.

At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from behind: "Big Sister, Little Sister, Big Brother-in-law, are you all right?"

Then a lot of footsteps were heard from outside. It should be the three tribes that had finished the battle and walked into this last palace from outside.

Ye Linglong, Yu Honglan and Yan Jingyi turned around together, only to see that they had already walked in, passed the statue, and stopped in front of the shallow pit with countless weapons.

At that moment, crossing the shallow pit in the battlefield, they met the eyes of the people who walked out alive.

They were covered in wounds and blood. There were almost three hundred of them when they arrived, but in the end only half of them walked out of the life-and-death battle.

Some of them supported each other, some used weapons to support their bodies, and some simply lay on their spirit beasts and did not move.

This battle was so brutal, so brutal that no one could emerge intact, and no one could even smile easily.

"We're fine." Ye Linglong replied.

"We are fine too." Pei Luobai, whose fair face was covered in blood, said softly across the shallow pit: "It's over. All the demons in the formation have been killed. The human race, the demon race, and the ghost race joined forces to fight the demons and won the victory."

"So." Ye Linglong showed a difficult but moving smile, and she said: "Why can't we win?"

"That's right! Those demons are pretending all the time, saying that we can't win. Isn't it possible to defeat them with fewer people and slaughter them all?"

"I have tolerated these grandsons for a long time. Day after day, they do so many things behind our backs that make us restless. They are so arrogant that they want to kill us all! They don't even see who will kill whom!"

"This battle was so exciting! It's been a long time since I've let loose and killed so many people! I killed these bastards of the demon clan!"

"That's right, we are going to kill these demons!"

Everyone started talking one after another, breaking the originally heavy atmosphere. Now there was only the joy of surviving the disaster and the excitement of winning a great victory.

"So, what exactly do the demons want? I want to see what they are fighting for!"

After someone said this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but search everywhere, trying to find anything related to the demons or something that looked valuable in this dilapidated hall.

While searching, they were also discussing whether it was this or that.

But after discussing for a while, everyone's eyes fell on the three of them. They wanted an answer.

Ye Linglong sighed, walked towards the shallow pit, and came to the front of the black heavy sword in the center that no longer had any demonic energy.

"What they are looking for is a red gem on this heavy sword."

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the black heavy sword. They indeed saw an empty space on the heavy sword, but they did not see where the gem was.

Ye Linglong gently placed his finger on the spot where the gem was no longer there.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him. There was only one demon left, and he took the ruby ​​away."

After hearing these words, the originally noisy temple suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

So, they still failed?

They fought bloody battles for three days and paid a huge price. They thought they had won, but in fact... they still failed?

Even though they killed them all but one of them, that one person still took what they wanted!

At that moment, the joy of victory disappeared from everyone's faces. Everyone was shocked, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and their hearts were suddenly blocked.

"We tried our best." Ye Linglong raised his head and looked at everyone: "This is not my fault, nor is it everyone's incompetence. We underestimated the determination of the demons. They would rather sacrifice everyone to take away the gem.

But so what?

If we can kill them once, we can kill them a second time, a third time. As long as they come once, we can kill them once. We can defeat them!"
