However, from the rough outline, Meng Xiaodie still discovered some familiar things. The image seemed to depict a war, some soldiers in armor, and some people with square heads. Their faces were blurry, revealing a row of sharp teeth.

"Crawler." Shen Hong cried out in alarm.

The green-eyed dwarf jumped in fright, hurriedly took out his golden sword, and looked around, "Crawler, there's no crawling man, I'll destroy it with one strike."

Seeing that Shen Hong was indifferent and staring at the sculpture on the wall, the green-eyed dwarf's face heated up. He said to everyone, "I thought there was a crawling person, but it turns out it was just a false alarm."

"Are you saying that the square-headed fellow in the relief is a crawling man?" Jiang Bufan asked.

Shen Hong nodded his head. Actually, Meng Xiaodie had already seen through it. It was just that he felt that the appearance of the crawling figure might have already predicted its approach. But what puzzled him was that the Crawlers had started a war with who. Where did those armored soldiers come from?

Meng Xiaodie had never heard of a war between a human and a crawling person. If this picture of a war was fabricated, then what was the purpose of carving this picture? Meng Xiaodie knew very little about crawling people. He turned to Shen Hong and asked, "Miss Shen, have you ever heard of a war between people and crawling people?

Shen Hong thought for a moment and said, "The City Lord did not reveal much about the Crawlers. However, his trusted aide Shi Cang Jue had occasionally mentioned that his predecessor had led troops to kill a bunch of weirdos. In the end, his entire army was annihilated."

"It's very possible that City Lord Sha Tianfeng is very meticulous in his actions. Due to his heavy losses, he was unwilling to mention the war or some other unspeakable secrets." Meng Xiaodie analyzed.

"Hey, hero Meng, you don't need to comment too much. The mayor has his own ideas. I don't want anyone to talk about the mayor behind his back." Shen Hong immediately said.

Shen Hong's loyalty did not change, but it made Meng Xiaodie curious about City Lord Sha Tianfeng. He had too many questions, just based on this exploration of the underground castle and the many strange incidents behind it, it was clear that Sha Tianfeng was carrying out an important secret operation. What was the purpose of this operation? He wasn't sure, but he didn't want to ask. He was already deeply immersed in the matter. If Sha Tianfeng was doing something shameful, then wouldn't Meng Xiaodie be Sha Tianfeng's accomplice?

Jiang Bufan was looking around among a pile of stone statues when he suddenly discovered a metal object. It was a foot long, with a sharp head and patches of rust on it.

"This looks like a spearhead?" Jiang Bufan said to Yue Peng and Hong Kun who were beside him.

Yue Peng took it over and wiped it with a piece of cloth, revealing a shiny layer underneath. It was indeed the tip of a spear, looks like there was indeed a war here, but who carved these stone statues? Those soldiers?

At first, Meng Xiaodie thought that these stone statues were scattered around a pile of stone statues, but upon closer inspection, he realized that these stone statues seemed to have been placed in such a way on purpose. Looking around him, he came to the bold guess that in this cave, there had once been a group of soldiers who had been trapped by crawling soldiers, or perhaps they had escaped to this place to hide from the people. They knew that they were going to die, so they carved the stone statues inside the cave to ensure that the people outside knew that they would die.

Halfway through carving the reliefs and stone statues, the crawling men found the cave. The remaining soldiers were suddenly attacked and killed in battle.

To Meng Xiaodie's guess, the green-eyed dwarf asked. Since those soldiers had all died in this cave, why didn't they have their bones?

Shen Hong responded to this question. Those crawling men were extremely vicious. After killing the soldiers, they would likely eat their flesh, suck their blood, and chew their bones dry. Thus, not a single skeleton would be left inside the cave.

The crawling soldier had a pair of venomous claws, and its saliva was poisonous as well. Once bitten, the soldier would lose his ability to fight after being soaked in venom, causing his skin to fester and blood to attack his heart. It was not easy for the soldiers to deal with these monsters who were trying to escape through the walls. In the end, the soldiers were completely wiped out.

From the relief sculptures and the stone statues, everyone had a general impression of the crawling man. After listening to Shen Hong's description of the crawling man, a layer of cold sweat appeared on their backs.

Crawlers were truly terrifying. They were most likely going to encounter them on the next street. Everyone shuddered at the thought of their brutal actions.

This was not a good sign. The fact that the Earth Demons kept their relief sculptures and stone statues in this cave might be a warning to the invaders. Don't barge in casually, as the intruder will end up suffering the same fate.

Meng Xiaodie observed everyone's expression and comforted, "The crawling men are not that scary compared to the monsters we encountered before. I think as long as we are careful and don't let the crawling men take the opportunity, the crawling men will become our ghosts."

Everyone thought that what Meng Xiaodie said was true. All the dangers from before were close to despair, and in the end, they had all come over.

When he thought about it, he didn't feel that it was that scary anymore. Crawlers were monsters similar to humans, and there was no such thing as an undefeatable monster. Seeing that her morale had risen, Meng Xiaodie started to look for the exit of the cave.

Since this is a cave with man-made cracks, it should be very easy to find the mechanism for the exit. There are two possibilities for setting up the exit mechanism, one is on the relief sculptures, the relief sculptures are uneven, and it's very easy to set up the mechanism button. The other is on the scattered stone statues, because there are dozens of them, it's not too troublesome to search for them.

Everyone followed this train of thought and began to search separately, but after a long time, they still couldn't find the button. They searched through all the stone statues, but found a skull in the pile of stone statues. There really was a skull here, so Meng Xiaodie's guess was correct. But why did she leave behind a skull? Did the crawling man forget? Or was it because he had eaten his fill and could not eat anymore, leaving a skull behind? The green-eyed dwarf raised a question while holding the skull.
