Chapter 115 Entering the Mountain
Among the seemingly ordinary pile of rubble, one of them looked strangely familiar.
Mo Ming's heart raced. He took out the treasure map and compared it repeatedly. The faint pattern on the stone was almost identical to the crown symbol on the treasure map. This was it!
After clearing away the pile of rubble, the exposed rock looked like a recessed stone door.
Although it is only half a meter tall, it looks very weathered and exudes an ancient and solemn aura.
Is this the entrance to the legendary treasure land?
He turned to look at Xiong Da, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Big Bear, come on, try using your Heavy Rock." Mo Ming pointed to the rock, his tone tinged with nervousness.
Xiong Da nodded, placed his palms on the rock, and deep yellow energy flowed continuously into his body.
Crack! The stone door shattered, instantly revealing a pitch-black opening. The opening was deep and eerie, seemingly swallowing up the surrounding light, and Mo Ming couldn't help but shiver.
"Be careful," he whispered, a surge of adventurous spirit rising within him.
For safety's sake, Mo Ming first took out a torch from his spatial ring, lit it, and threw it into the cave entrance.
The torch streaked across the darkness, illuminating the path ahead. As the torch burned, the shadows within the cave gradually revealed their outlines; the passage sloped downwards, seemingly guiding them into an unknown abyss, giving it a slightly eerie feel.
Every two meters, Mo Ming tossed out a torch, its light flickering in the narrow passage and illuminating the strange patterns on the rock walls. The passage wasn't long, and soon they reached its end. The space at the end suddenly opened up, as if they had entered another world.
Immediately, Mo Ming took out a piece of luminous jade from his spatial ring, tossed it gently, and the jade drew an elegant arc in the air before landing on the ground, instantly emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire space.
The sight before him astonished him even more: a massive iron gate stood before him, forged as sturdy as fine steel, its surface adorned with intricate patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"Is this the guardian gate to the treasure trove?" Mo Ming murmured to himself, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.
He knew that only after passing through this door would the real treasure hunt begin.
Outside at this moment.
"Wu Gang, what's going on? It seems that person took the dog inside. Shall we go back and report to the Alliance Leader now?"
"Idiot! That kid clearly came prepared. Let me tell you, he most likely knew there was something good here."
"What good stuff could there be in this barren rocky mountain? We've been collecting stones at the foot of the mountain for so long and haven't found anything, yet some survivor who came from who-knows-where managed to find it?"
I guess he was also frightened by the eagle's cry from the sky and just randomly hid in a cave.
"Hmph! Zhang Yuan, don't say I won't help you get rich. Now you only have two paths."
First, I'll keep an eye on things. You go back and report back. If that kid really is here to find treasure, at most we'll get a small reward.
Secondly, we'll lie in wait here and capture him as soon as he comes out! Whether he's there to search for treasure or not, we'll split his loot in half!
Wu Gang squinted at Zhang Yuan beside him, then put his right hand behind his back on a bulge in his lower back.
"What you said seems to make sense, hahaha, you're really quick-witted. Let's just stay here and guard it, then we'll rob him when the time comes!"
After Wu Gang's explanation, Zhang Yuan was tempted and immediately agreed.
"That's more like it! Let's make money together!" Wu Gang patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder with a forced smile, and quietly lowered his hand from Zhang Yuan's lower back.
Without a doubt, if Zhang Yuan had chosen the first path, Wu Gang would most likely have taken advantage of his unpreparedness and killed him without hesitation, leaving him the only one who would know about this place.
He was convinced that Mo Ming, who had just disappeared, had come specifically to search for treasure.
"But, Gang, are we really safe with just the two of us? What if that guy is a pro? That dog is probably his pet; we're at a disadvantage!"
Zhang Yuan rested one hand on his chin, frowned, and stared at the spot where Mo Ming had disappeared, speaking slowly.
Wu Gang's lips curled into a contemptuous sneer. "Hmph! Don't forget, my Green Peak Wolf pack patrols around here. I'll call a few over, deal with that kid, and then send them back without being discovered!"
"Brilliant! Gao Cuilan's is brilliant!" Zhang Yuan gave her a thumbs up, still dreaming of getting rich.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
......
Mo Ming searched around the iron gate for a long time but couldn't find the mechanism to open it. He had no choice but to break it down!
The bronze demon-suppressing sword immediately appeared in his right hand.
Under the glow of the luminous jade, the bronze demon-suppressing sword gleamed with a faint blue light, and the boundless power contained within it seemed about to burst forth from the sword.
The intricate patterns on the black iron gate before him now appeared even more eerie, as if warning him of the unknown he was about to face.
Mo Ming took a deep breath, silently encouraging himself.
Now that he had come this far, he was determined to see for himself what lay behind that door, no matter what it might be.
He stepped forward, and with a flash of sword light, the bronze demon-suppressing sword drew an elegant arc in his hand, heading straight for the iron gate.
With a deafening crash, the iron gate shattered, sending debris flying like raindrops onto the ground.
Mo Ming's heart skipped a beat. The moment he swung his sword, the power of the Demon-Suppressing Sword filled him with immense excitement, as if he were about to merge with the sword. An uncontrollable desire within him was also quietly amplified.
The darkness behind the door was like an abyss, greedily devouring the light emitted by the luminous jade.
One after another, luminous jade stones appeared in his hand, and then fell into the space behind the door in graceful arcs.
Under the powerful light of the luminous jade, this eerie dark space was finally fully illuminated, and except for some backlit corners, almost the entire area was in the light.
The air was filled with an old, damp smell, as if time had stood still here.
The sight that came into view made Mo Ming's scalp tingle instantly!
Is this an underground palace?
Or... a tomb?!
All around were walls made of rough stones, covered with moss and tiny cracks, giving it a somewhat eerie feel.
The bright white light from the luminous jade illuminated the indistinct reliefs on the wall, seemingly telling ancient stories.
In the center is a huge square platform with intricate patterns carved on its surface. On the platform are three stone tables, each with a box on it.
At each of the four vertices stands a tall stone pillar, with one end of each of the four thick golden chains wrapped around it.
On the other end, there was a golden coffin, covered with mysterious symbols, firmly bound to the center of the square platform.
However, the shimmering gold did not give Mo Ming a sense of light or masculinity.
This only made him more nervous.
"What happened to the treasure hunt? How did it turn into... tomb raiding?"
