Starting with Proficiency Panel

"What is that?!" Nosnov's expression slightly trembled: "An ancient palace of Huaxia?"

Jack looked shocked: "How could there be traces of humans on the Moon."

"Not necessarily traces of humans." Nosnov shook his head slightly: "Many myths worldwide have similar origins. The Greek Moon Goddess Artemis and Huaxia's Taiyin Star Monarch both once ruled and resided on the Moon.

Perhaps during a long period in an ultra-ancient civilization, there were many extraordinary beings."

Lu Ren remained silent towards Nosnov's words, quietly watching the fluorescent stick slowly fall below.

Thanks to the Moon's microgravity, the light emitted by the fluorescent stick allowed Lu Ren to observe the overall structure within the crack below more meticulously.

Perhaps due to being buried underground, the palace buildings and pavilions were extremely exquisite; even due to the Moon's vacuum state, this ancient site was completely unaffected by weathering, giving a brand-new look that almost felt like an illusion of yesterday.

What is buried inside?

Lu Ren quietly pondered for a moment, then, amidst Jack and Nosnov's astonished gaze, he unhesitatingly jumped in.

Then, with the short-range communication device still functioning, Lu Ren's calm voice accompanied by static crackles sounded in their ears.

"If you guys don't come over, I'll have them blow up the spacecraft."

Jack: "..."

Nosnov: "..."

After a while, Nosnov sighed, "Now I finally understand what a true fierce person is like."

Jack sneered but said nothing more. After all, from the beginning until now, in their mutual probing, only Lu Ren made him unable to grasp his details.

Jack was the first to step forward, slowly descending.

Nosnov, left with no one else, had his somewhat expressive face calm down, with a gleam of coldness in his eyes.

These people are truly tricky.

"That's why I said, I'd rather not stay with these astute people. It's too much of a headache."

Nosnov muttered in a low voice, also unhesitantly stepping into the void, his body falling downward.

Meanwhile, the statue standing in the distance, after the trio left, subtly vibrated twice before falling still again, as if it had never moved.

Lu Ren continued to drift down slowly, looking at the railing on the side, reached out his hand to hook it, landing himself on the corridor.

"Ding, you have entered the Moon Palace."

"Ding, there might be hidden secrets here that could influence the world."

"Ding, you seem to have discovered remnants from the Ancient Times."

A system notification sounded in his mind.

Black, utterly pitch-black.

There was no light at all in this place, except for the light cast by Lu Ren's spacesuit, there was no other illumination.

And vaguely, even as the spotlight above his head shone outward, these dark forces seemed to absorb the light with some eerie force.

Silence reached its extreme, sending a shiver of eerie cold into the heart, a constant feeling that something unknown lurked within the darkness, watching the unwelcome guests.

Lu Ren's expression remained unchanged, he merely pulled out a fluorescent stick from his waist, twisted it open, and continuously scattered it forward, ensuring that the darkest parts of this environment were exposed to light.

In an instant, this courtyard was as bright as day, dispersing all darkness, allowing the layout within to be clearly seen.

A very Huaxia-style courtyard layout.

Rock gardens, stone benches, jade tables, and even a small bridge arching over a pond.

But now the pond was dry, the stone bench overturned, and there were no other anomalies, making it all appear quite desolate.

Nosnov and Jack arrived beside Lu Ren simultaneously, with Jack crouching down to carefully study the railing, the electronic eye on his modified side continuously emitting a low electromagnetic hum.

After a long time, Jack stood up and said: "According to the data, this place is at least sixty million years old."

"Sixty million years?"

Nosnov seemed incredulous.

"Back then, humans were still monkeys."

Jack flashed a hint of mockery on his face, chuckling lightly, "Do you really think humans evolved from monkeys?"

Probably enlightened by some extraordinary creatures.

Lu Ren did not respond to Jack's words, but silently countered in his heart.

The physical traits of humans don't fit with the creatures on Earth, definitely not developed naturally.

The fact that this courtyard is sixty million years old also struck Lu Ren as a bit unbelievable.

He had to speak up to confirm: "Thunder, are you sure?"

"Not sure." Thunder Jack shook his head as if the previous words he spoke were just meaningless babble.

Noticing a hint of displeasure on Lu Ren's face, even Nosnov's gaze at him was somewhat unsatisfied, he had no choice but to explain awkwardly: "The strong magnetic interference in this place is very severe, especially after stepping into this building area, the intensity increased to another level, causing some of my equipment to become unstable."

Lu Ren said nothing further, moving to the courtyard gate, he pushed it open to reveal the deep darkness within.

He retrieved a fluorescent stick from his backpack, twisted it open, and slowly tossed it forward.

This fluorescent stick can last quite a long time, this chemical reaction can exceed twenty-four hours before the brightness fades.

The architectural area of this place was enormous. Although more than half was embedded in the cliff wall, some passages surprisingly had open space.

As a result, Lu Ren dared not be extravagant as in the courtyard before, ensuring only that his path was illuminated.

Just as he was about to throw another fluorescent stick forward, he glimpsed a shadow flash ten meters away from his side.

He abruptly stopped, his eyes sharp, under the surge of Bright Sun True Qi, his eyes shone brightly, illuminating the building corner for a moment.

Seeing Lu Ren exhibiting such extraordinary behaviors, Nosnov and Jack had different expressions. Ultimately, it was Nosnov who asked, "Lu Ren, did you find anything?"

Lu Ren said, "There's something in here."

Jack's electronic eye emitted a ghostly blue glow as it scanned the surroundings.

"My detection devices didn't pick up anything noteworthy, not even with echolocation, besides these buildings there's nothing worth noting."

Lu Ren pondered slightly before finally speaking: "Let's split up and search, this place is large, together it might take quite a while."

Nosnov and Jack exchanged glances upon hearing this, with Jack nodding slightly: "Alright, indeed this place intrigues me."

Nosnov chuckled: "I'm rather looking forward to encountering something in here."
