Chapter 642
The hidden secret
Tian Fen'er gently touched the runes on the stone coffin. "I don't know what these ancient characters are telling us, but I have a strange feeling that we need to do something to unravel this mystery."
Tian Fen'er also came over and carefully examined the runes. "Perhaps we need to get close to this stone coffin in some way and try to feel the information within it."
The four stood quietly before the stone coffin, their minds focused, trying to establish some kind of connection with these ancient runes.
As time passed, it seemed as if a faint energy began to flow between them, an energy that made them feel an ancient wisdom and power, as if telling an ancient story.
A mysterious atmosphere permeated the stone chamber, as if time had frozen.
The four people's thoughts wandered through the ancient runes, trying to unravel the mystery and reveal the secrets hidden within.
As they focused, the stone coffin seemed to emit a faint glow, reflecting their focused faces.
Inside this ancient stone chamber, the four seemed to be connected with history, and their adventure reached a new height. This jade coffin might lead them to a greater unknown.
The tranquility brought by the stone coffin was suddenly shattered, and a vibration of unknown origin arose, as if countless ancient curses and secrets wanted to escape.
The air around us seemed to freeze, and after a brief silence, the entire space seemed to tremble.
Chen Ze frowned; his intuition told him that this was definitely not a good sign.
Standing next to him, Tian Siyao's expression changed slightly, and she also sensed the uneasy atmosphere.
Yan Xiaoxiao clenched his fists. Although he was a warrior on the battlefield, this strange phenomenon still made him feel uncomfortable.
Tian Fen'er clung tightly to Tian Siyao, her eyes filled with fear.
"Everyone be careful, we don't know what might happen!" Chen Ze shouted, his tone revealing an undeniable sense of urgency.
Suddenly, the stone coffin seemed to be pulled by a powerful force and began to slowly rise into the air, causing the four people's hearts to race.
The stone coffin moved faster and faster until finally, it seemed to break through some invisible boundary.
Then, something incredible happened.
The stone coffin suddenly fell, like a shooting star falling into bottomless darkness.
The four people and the stone coffin were caught in this unpredictable fall.
"Hold on tight!" Tian Siyao shouted, using all her strength to grab a corner of the stone coffin.
Yan Xiaoxiao held onto Tian Fen'er and Tian Siyao tightly, his face solemn. He had experienced countless life-and-death situations, but this was the first time he had ever had such a bizarre experience.
Chen Ze gripped the other side of the stone coffin tightly, his muscles trembling, but he steadied himself with his strength.
The air seemed to stretch out, and time itself became distorted and uncertain at that moment.
The heartbeats of the four people blended into the solemn atmosphere, resonating with the falling stone coffin.
Finally, the stone coffin fell to some unknown place, crashing heavily to the ground and causing a cloud of dust to rise.
The four of them finally felt relieved, but their expressions were complicated.
Chen Ze was the first to stand up. He looked around at the bewildering surroundings and then turned to look at his companions.
Tian Siyao bit her lip, clearly unsure of their exact location.
Yan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
Tian Fen'er clung tightly to Tian Siyao, her eyes still filled with fear.
Yan Xiaoxiao held the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly between her eye and nose, her gaze sweeping across the shadows above the stone coffin.
The stone coffin hovered abruptly above, giving off an indescribable sense of oppression. "What do you think, Yan Xiaoxiao?" Chen Ze slowly walked over, his eyes revealing curiosity and concern.
“Something’s not right. I feel like someone or something is watching us.” Yan Xiaoxiao’s voice trembled slightly, but it was firm.
Chen Ze was about to speak, but before he could utter a word, a ghostly halo suddenly appeared around the stone coffin.
Dark light waves flowed within the cave, as if time and space had stood still.
"Watch out!" Chen Ze shouted, but it was too late.
Just then, the stone coffin emitted a blinding light, seemingly swallowing all darkness, and shot directly towards Yan Xiaoxiao. The light was like a sharp arrow, giving Yan Xiaoxiao almost no time to react.
In an instant, Yan Xiaoxiao seemed to be struck by a tremendous force, collapsing to the ground, her face ashen white.
The entire cave was filled with a pungent, burnt smell, as if the world was mocking her ignorance and recklessness.
Chen Ze instantly drew his Yin-Yang Sword, its light as smooth as water, piercing through the ghostly halo. However, the intense light was too fast for him to block.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock and fear, and they all gasped in shock.
This scene was beyond their expectations, and even the bravest explorers could hardly believe it.
"Yan Xiaoxiao, are you alright?" Chen Ze rushed to Yan Xiaoxiao's side and gently applied Qingling herbs to her forehead.
"I...I'm fine, but that stone coffin is definitely not simple." Yan Xiaoxiao endured her discomfort and sat up, still tightly gripping the Yin-Yang Mirror in her hand.
"It seems we need to be more careful." Chen Ze looked up at the stone coffin, knowing that this experience was just the tip of the iceberg of their adventure.
Tian Siyao nodded, but she was even more convinced that this adventure was far more complicated and dangerous than they had imagined.
This cave and this sarcophagus seem to be silently telling a more terrifying truth.
“We should keep moving forward, but we must be cautious.” Yan Xiaoxiao stood up, took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself.
His little fists were clenched tightly.
Chen Ze smiled and nodded, put away the Yin-Yang Sword, and followed behind Yan Xiaoxiao.
Cautiously, observing the surrounding situation.
I feel a little nervous.
Both of them had a determined and vigilant look in their eyes, just like the mysterious cave, which held endless mysteries and potential dangers, but they were prepared to face anything.
Chen Ze used a clear, jade-green herb and applied it tightly to Yan Xiaoxiao's wound.
A chill emanated from the herbs, slowly seeping into the wound.
Yan Xiaoxiao's complexion improved slightly, and she blinked weakly, as if to express her gratitude to Chen Ze.
"Don't be afraid, Little One."
We will get out of here.
Chen Ze said, biting his lip hard.
Tian Siyao and Tian Fen'er were like two sharp knives, vigilantly watching the surrounding darkness.
Their swords flashed like cold stars, causing the approaching unknown creatures to back down.
In the darkness, they are both guardians and warnings.
Chen Ze gently carried Yan Xiaoxiao on his back and walked to a huge stone gate.
The stone gate is engraved with mysterious symbols and totems, as if it were hiding a secret.
He felt a chill run down his spine and drew the Yin-Yang Sword from his hand. Its blade immediately emitted a bright light, creating an eerie resonance with the symbols on the stone gate.
"Is everyone ready?" Chen Ze turned to look at Tian Siyao and Tian Fen'er.
The two nodded, their swords flashing like rainbows, preparing to face all the unknowns that were about to come.
"Alright, I'll begin." Chen Ze took a deep breath, gripped the Yin-Yang Sword tightly, and slashed diagonally at the stone gate.
In an instant, the symbols on the stone gate began to flash, as if Chen Ze's sword had activated them.
The stone gate rumbled and slowly opened.
Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew this was only the beginning of the adventure. (End of Chapter)
