Chapter 864
Main Tomb Chamber
The temple's interior is adorned with exquisite murals depicting scenes of ancient noble life and sacred rituals.
"This place was once the center of faith in the Frostflower Kingdom."
Looking at these murals, Tian Siyao was filled with emotion. "I really want to know what life was like for the nobles in ancient times."
Suddenly, Tian Siyao noticed several strange symbols hidden on the wall.
She immediately became alert and called Qin Miyue over to analyze the situation together.
"These symbols appear to represent the location of noble tombs."
Tian Siyao focused intently on interpreting the symbol, "We're getting closer and closer to our goal." Qin Miyue nodded, lightly touching the symbol with her staff and chanting a spell.
The wall shook slightly, then slowly slid apart to the sides.
Through the crack, the three saw a dark and eerie passage.
A chilling aura emanated from the passageway.
To avoid falling into a trap, Chen Ze walked at the front with his sword raised, using the tip of the sword to probe the ground.
A thick fog still hung over the forest, but that was no longer a problem.
Tian Siyao had prepared her carefully crafted potion; just one drop would dispel the fog.
Qin Miyue then set up a light barrier at the rear of the group, providing a bright path to guide them forward.
Chen Ze stopped at the end of the passage and led Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue to carefully observe their surroundings.
"We are approaching the noble's tomb."
Chen Ze said cautiously, "But we must also be wary of unknown threats that may be lurking in the shadows."
Tian Siyao nodded, gripping the amulet tightly in her hand, becoming even more vigilant.
"We must proceed with caution," Qin Miyue reminded everyone.
"There may be dangerous items or protective mechanisms in the tomb."
The three walked forward in tacit agreement, trying to remain vigilant in the constantly changing environment.
As they ventured deeper into the noble's tomb, the temperature steadily dropped, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the interior.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, emitting a faint smell of decay.
"We're getting closer and closer," Tian Siyao said excitedly in a low voice.
Suddenly, a slight, faint sound came from behind a huge wooden door.
The three of them immediately stared alertly at the door. "Are you ready?" Chen Ze asked.
Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue nodded.
Chen Ze gripped the sword hilt and pushed open the wooden door with force.
The door hinges clicked dully, opening up a whole new world.
A mysterious tomb chamber appeared before them.
He is sculpted like a guardian, adorned with exquisitely detailed and magnificent armor, and wielding a weapon.
These statues gleamed with a cold light, as if they were ready to fight off any intruders.
“The remains and treasures of ancient nobles must be buried here,” Tian Siyao said with awe.
They knew that many more unknown challenges awaited them in this ancient and mysterious noble tomb.
After opening the wooden door, they entered a more solemn and dignified corridor.
The atmosphere of an ancient royal tomb becomes even stronger here, with various magnificent historical dramas and myths carved on the walls.
Tian Siyao stared at every detail, secretly deducing the meaning of these patterns in her mind.
She vaguely sensed that these murals existed not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to carry some important information.
“These patterns must have recorded the direction of the king’s tomb and the guarding mechanisms,” Tian Siyao couldn’t help but say, offering her speculation.
Qin Miyue stared at a particularly striking pattern and began to sense the magical fluctuations around her.
She noticed a faint but exceptionally pure magical fluctuation emanating from the dark corridor.
"I can sense an unusually pure magical energy fluctuation."
Qin Miyue told everyone, "I want to try to communicate with it."
Tian Siyao and Chen Ze both looked nervously at Qin Miyue. They understood that if they could communicate with this magical fluctuation, they might be able to obtain more clues about the tomb.
Qin Miyue closed her eyes and, relying on her familiarity with and insight into magic, began to try to communicate with this pure magical energy fluctuation.
"I am Qin Miyue, and we are travelers who have come to search for the relics and treasures of ancient kings."
She silently recited these words in her heart.
Suddenly, a phantom voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Welcome to Xuan Ying Mausoleum."
"Only by passing tests and deciphering the secrets can the noble relics be obtained."
The voice seemed to be in a realm of nothingness, filled with a mysterious and elusive feeling.
Tian Siyao, Chen Ze, and Qin Miyue exchanged glances, once again feeling the challenges and dangers that lay ahead.
They continued walking along the corridor.
Carefully examine the clues that might be hidden in each mural and pattern.
With her extensive knowledge and keen insight, Tian Siyao began to decipher the hidden codes in the carved patterns on the wall.
"Based on the arrangement and shape of these patterns, I guess the path to the main burial chamber should look like this."
Tian Siyao pointed to a pattern that had not yet been noticed and said.
As the group approached for a closer look, they indeed discovered a path that differed from the other patterns.
Qin Miyue sensed the magical fluctuations again, confirming that this path was logical.
They continued toward their goal, gradually venturing deeper into the Xuan Ying Mausoleum.
As time went on, the cold and oppressive atmosphere grew stronger.
Finally, they arrived at a more solemn and eerie gate.
The door is covered with mysterious and ancient runes, which have stood for a long time but remain unknown to most people.
"We've finally arrived at the main burial chamber." Chen Ze pushed the door open forcefully.
The main burial chamber was filled with an atmosphere of tranquility and sanctity.
They saw a tall and ornately decorated stone coffin standing in the center of the tomb.
Suddenly, the surrounding lights dimmed, and small flames leaped up, emitting a faint and eerie glow in every corner.
Strange incantations echoed from the pitch-black space, and four figures appeared before them like ghosts.
“You have already demonstrated enough courage and wisdom to get here.”
One of the ghosts said slowly, "But to obtain the relics, you must undergo the final test."
Four ghosts surrounded the group, emanating powerful magical energy.
They are the guardians of the ancient tomb, protecting its secrets and treasures.
In the main burial chamber of the "Mysterious Shadow Tomb," they engaged in a life-or-death battle with the guardians.
The group of guardians in front of them was basically divided into two large groups, and they were rushing towards them with lightning speed.
Tian Siyao made a decision immediately; she knew exactly what she should do.
Without hesitation, she began chanting a powerful spell of light.
Golden light burst forth from her hands, enveloping the entire tomb chamber.
The guardians were dazzled by the intense, dazzling light and scattered in panic.
Qin Miyue took the opportunity to reinforce the barrier, protecting everyone from harm.
With graceful and swift movements, she created a swirling, layered magical barrier around her.
Chen Ze then brandished the sword in his hand.
"Why should a bunch of bedbugs disrupt our plans to find the relics!"
He roared angrily, his sword dancing like a dragon, its sharpness fully revealed.
As the battle progressed, the guardians were gradually driven back.
They truly felt the power of this team and decided to revere the "Silver Shield" as a deity in their hearts.
Finally, they successfully repelled the last guardian and regained control of the tomb. (End of Chapter)
