Chapter 220: Ancient Tomb Opportunity
Chapter 220: Ancient Tomb Opportunity
Chen Xian quietly closed the ancient book in his hand and immediately fell into deep thought.
He understood that all this was an illusion, and an illusion based on his memory.
Yaya blinked her big watery eyes and looked at him, and asked, "Brother, shall we go to that ancient tomb?" The little beast was also humming beside her, as if expressing its own thoughts.
Chen Xian took a deep breath and said, "Let's go! We must not miss such a rare opportunity. But before we go, we must make thorough preparations."
So Chen Xian took Yaya and Xiaoshou to the town to buy all kinds of necessary items and elixirs. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave the city, they were blocked by a group of people.
The leader was a big man with a face full of flesh. He glanced at Chen Xian and sneered, "Boy, I heard that you are going to the ancient tomb as well? If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasures on you, otherwise you will never leave safely."
Chen Xian's face darkened and he said, "How dare you rob openly in broad daylight!"
The big man laughed wildly: "In this world, strength is supreme, there is no logic at all!"
After saying that, the big man waved his arm, and the younger brothers behind him rushed forward. Chen Xian protected Yaya behind him, and the little beast also rushed forward bravely, and started a fierce fight with the enemy.
Chen Xian used the magic he had just learned from ancient books. In an instant, the light shone brightly and the power was terrifying. The robbers had never expected Chen Xian to be so powerful and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the big man wanted to escape, but was fixed in place by a spell cast by Chen Xian.
"Please spare my life, hero!" the big man begged.
Chen Xian snorted coldly: "Don't do evil again in the future, or I will never let you off easily!"
The big man nodded repeatedly and led his men away in shame.
After getting rid of the robbers, Chen Xian and his companions finally arrived in front of the ancient tomb. There was a gloomy atmosphere outside the ancient tomb, which was creepy.
Chen Xian gritted his teeth and walked into the ancient tomb with Yaya and Xiaoshou. As soon as they entered, there were bursts of strange noises from inside, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeping at them in the darkness.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew over their heads. Chen Xian reacted quickly and raised his hand to cast a spell. There was a scream, and the black shadow fell to the ground. It turned out to be a huge bat.
As they went deeper, the traps in the ancient tomb became more and more numerous. There were sharp arrows that suddenly popped out, the ground collapsed instantly, and poisonous mist sprayed out.
But Chen Xian successfully escaped danger time and time again with his agility and calm mind.
Finally, they came to a secret room. In the secret room was a huge treasure chest, emitting an alluring light.
Chen Xiang was about to go forward and open the treasure chest, but he heard the little beast's warning cry. He stopped and looked carefully, and found that the treasure chest was covered with dense runes, which was obviously a powerful restriction.
Chen Xian frowned, thinking about how to break this restriction. At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the ancient tomb, and the entire tomb began to shake violently...
Chen Xian's heart tightened, he knew very well that the roar meant that a greater danger was about to come.
"Brother, what should we do?" Yaya's voice trembled slightly.
Chen Xian took a deep breath and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Yaya, I will definitely find a way."
He looked at the rune restrictions around the treasure chest again, his mind racing as he thought of a way to crack it. At this moment, the little beast came over, circled around Chen Xian for a few times, and then ran to a corner, barking at a stone wall.
Chen Xian walked closer quickly and looked carefully, and found some strange symbols engraved on the stone wall, which seemed to be related to the rune prohibition in some way.
"Could this be the key to solving the problem?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Chen Xian's heart.
He adjusted his own spiritual energy input according to the instructions of the symbols. Finally, the light of the rune restriction gradually dimmed and the treasure chest slowly opened.
However, before they could see the contents of the treasure chest, a huge monster rushed out from the darkness. The monster was shaped like a mountain, covered with spikes, and its eyes were emitting blazing fire.
Chen Xian had no time to think about it. He protected Yaya behind him and fought a desperate battle with the monster.
The monster's attack was fierce and ferocious, and Chen Xian gradually felt powerless. Just when he was about to collapse, the little beast suddenly rushed up and bit the monster's leg.
The monster felt pain and its attention was drawn to the little beast. Chen Xian took the opportunity to launch a powerful attack, the magic in his hand shone brightly, and hit the monster's vital points directly.
The monster let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground with a bang.
Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the treasure chest, only to find that there was only a mysterious jade pendant inside.
The moment he picked up the jade pendant, it emitted a strong light that enveloped them.
When the light faded, they found themselves in a strange place...
Chen Xian looked around vigilantly. It seemed like a mysterious valley, filled with thin mist and exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"Brother, where is this?" Yaya grabbed the corner of Chen Xian's clothes tightly, her voice full of anxiety.
Chen Xian patted Yaya's hand gently and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Yaya, brother will figure it out."
The little animal whimpered softly, seeming to be afraid of this unfamiliar environment.
Chen Xian held the jade pendant in his hand and observed it carefully, and found that the patterns on the jade pendant seemed to be changing.
Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from the distance, the sound was ethereal and mysterious.
Chen Xian's heart trembled, and he took Yaya and Xiaoshou and walked towards the direction of the flute sound.
Passing through a forest, they saw a woman in white, playing the flute with her back to them.
The woman noticed their arrival and slowly turned around. Her face was beautiful, but with a hint of coldness.
"Why did you come here?" The woman's voice was as ethereal as the sound of her flute.
Chen Xian cupped his hands and said, "Miss, we are here by accident because of this jade pendant. I wonder if you can tell me where this place is?"
The woman looked at the jade pendant in Chen Xian's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
"This is a forbidden area. If you accidentally come in, you might be in danger," said the woman.
Chen Xian frowned and asked, "Miss, can you give us some pointers so that we can leave this place?"
The woman was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not easy to leave. You need to pass the test here."
After saying this, the woman disappeared in a flash.
Chen Xian had no choice but to continue moving forward with Yaya and Xiaoshou, trying to find a way to leave.
As they walked, they came to a turbulent river. There was no bridge across the river, only a few floating stones.
Chen Xian gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk and cross the river.
He stepped carefully onto the stones and moved forward step by step. Just as he was about to reach the other side, a huge wave suddenly surged in the river and rushed towards them...
