Chapter 29: Frightened
Sikong Haoxuan touched the stone tablet engraved with exquisite patterns and words and sighed: "Although I don't understand the words above and don't know much about these patterns, I can be sure that the history of the Mima Dynasty is definitely recorded on this stone tablet."
Baron narrowed his eyes and looked up at the towering stone tablet and said something he loved to hear, "The Mima Dynasty is indeed one of the greatest civilizations on the mainland."
He looked at his three companions around him humbly, and Baron added: "Of course, our orc civilization is also the greatest civilization on the continent."
The people in Thorp's team didn't even say the nonsense of the orc. They were deeply shocked by the stone tablet in front of them. Only they, who have the purest bloodline on the mainland, can understand the significance of the Mima Dynasty to humanity, and it will always be the pride of mankind.
Sikong Haoxuan asked at the pious thief Musi, "Mus, do you understand the meaning of the stone tablet?"
Muss replied proudly: "Of course, the fourth young master, the lower half of this stone tablet carved several major historical events of the Mima Dynasty, and the upper half was too far away, so I couldn't see clearly." The thieves were indeed a group of people in this world who had a profound study of treasures, history, and antiques.
"Thorpe, is there any sign on the map for how to enter this treasure?" Sikong Haoxuan was obviously not interested in the history of the Mima Dynasty, and he cared more about the treasure.
Thorp bowed slightly and said, "Yes, the Fourth Young Master, the head of the family has made people decipher the method of entering the treasure on the map. This is also the reason why the Elder Pavilion chose our team to perform this mission, because only our team has water and fire mages."
Sikong Haoxuan was surprised by the power of the family. He could actually study things from a thousand years ago to this point. "Thorpe, let them open the entrance to this treasure."
After hearing Sikong Haoxuan's words, Thorp nodded to Luo Feik and Nida, indicating that they could start. Sikong Haoxuan stared at the two mages with great interest to see how they opened the door to the treasure.
Luo Feik and Nida, at two specific locations of the stone tablet, slowly began to input magic power, water and fire into the stone tablet, which made the entire stone tablet emit red and blue light.
Two crystal-colored lights, with huge stone tablets as bridges, soaring straight into the sky. The entire stone tablet suddenly lit up, and a huge sound came from one side of the stone tablet, and a square stone door slowly opened.
There was no strange smell in the open stone door, and it didn't look like it was a thousand years ago at all.
Thorpe looked at the dark and deep passage inside the stone gate and frowned secretly, "Lowfik, detect if there are any creatures inside." Loofyk was more proficient in detection magic than Nida in the team.
Sikong Haoxuan had already sensed through his soul that there was no creature in the stone gate because there was no soul fluctuation. However, the strange snake he encountered a few days ago made Sikong Haoxuan no longer trust his soul perception.
After releasing the detection magic, Lofik said to Thorp: "Captain, my magic cannot detect signs of biological activity in this passage." After experiencing various events encountered in the forest, Lofik's words were also full of hesitation.
Sikong Haoxuan patted his thorny pants that had been scratched by various branches, "Let's go, stand here and you will never know what's inside."
Mousse led everyone to enter the dark passage in front of him. The fireballs floating above Nida illuminated the road under their feet. The one-person-high passage was also carved with various patterns. The four tall orcs could only walk bent over. The narrow passage felt very depressing.
The group walked very slowly, and Mousse didn't dare to be careless at all. He knew very well that sometimes the mechanisms made by humans were more terrifying than the strange creatures in nature.
This short passage made Sikong Haoxuan very difficult to walk. More than a dozen various machinery, magical mechanisms and traps made Mousse and two mages who led the way to break the mechanism exhausted.
The mousse, who led the way, stared at the ground in front of him, and a pattern that ran across the passage muttered to himself: "I'm sure this pattern is meaningful, but there are no traces of mechanisms around him."
Sikong Hao looked at the faint light ahead and said, "Let's take a break, it's probably the exit ahead. This last section of the road is probably not so easy to walk."
After everyone sat down, Lofik and Nida did not care about their fatigue and studied the pattern on the ground with Mousse.
After a moment of rest, everyone's mental fatigue was restored. In this very depressing channel, people are more likely to develop mental fatigue. In comparison, the four orcs are much better.
Mousse raised his tired face and said to Thorp: "Captain, this pattern is a warning line, a warning to invasion, but I don't know what consequences will be if the warning is violated. I have not found any traces of mechanisms or traps around." Mousse has not rested and has been studying the pattern.
Thorpe patted Mousse on the shoulder, "Let's take a break, we've all got here, nothing will stop us from moving forward."
Thorpe looked at the passage in front of him and stepped forward alone. "Captain..." Carris, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but scream when he saw Thorpe's behavior.
Looking back and smiling, Thorp took out a scroll from his arms and said confidently: "Don't worry, this is the instant transfer scroll given to me by Elder Shafan. I immediately start the scroll when I find something wrong."
Carris felt relieved when he saw the scroll in Thorpe's hand, but he had a vague premonition in his heart, but he was not stopping Thorpe because after all, he could not be consumed in unknown dangers, at least he had to understand where the danger came from.
Thorpe had just stepped into the pattern that ran through the passage, and his body suddenly stood stiff and no longer silent. "Captain, captain..." Musi and others shouted anxiously, and the most reckless axe warrior Lude immediately rushed towards Thorpe. With his lead, the team members were also closely behind. It seemed that Thorpe was the core of the entire team, and his team had lost their basic judgment ability.
As Sikong Haoxuan shook his body, he closed the acupoints of the five people rushing forward, and even Caris, who was standing in place without moving, did not let go. Sikong Haoxuan, who had soul vision, knew that Thorp was dead now, and he was swallowed by the countless sharp souls that emerged from the pattern of the wall, and his soul swallowed the whole body of his vitality.
Although the six people who were closed to the acupoints were unable to move or speak, they could still think. They were shocked that Sikong Haoxuan, the "wizard", could make them lose their power of movement with special techniques at such a fast speed. It has not been heard in the mainland that there is a mage who can move so fast without using magic.
Sikong Haoxuan murmured in a voice that he could only hear: "I didn't expect that there are people in this world who understand Li Po and Spirit, and can use them. What is the secret of the pattern on the stone wall? It can actually contain so many Li Po and souls, so the soul is beyond my mind."
