Chapter 880
The Mystery of Power Inheritance
Soon, at dusk the next day, they quietly arrived at the construction site on the edge of the village where houses were being built.
They saw a group of workers busily working, while foreman Chao stood aside directing them.
Tian Siyao whispered a spell, and suddenly the entire construction site was plunged into darkness.
Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The workers were terrified and fled the construction site.
"Help! This place is haunted!" someone shouted.
Foreman Chao nodded in satisfaction at the scene, then walked towards Tian Siyao and the others.
"Great job, you did a great job." Chao said with a big smile.
“Now we can begin our official adventure.” A hint of anticipation flashed in Chao’s eyes.
Tian Siyao and the other two also showed resolute expressions.
They knew that the journey ahead would be full of challenges and dangers.
After discussing the detailed plan with Brother Chao, Tian Siyao and Chen Ze began to take action.
They knew full well that the journey ahead would be full of challenges and dangers.
The next day at dusk, Tian Siyao, Chen Ze, and Qin Miyue followed Brother Chao to Majiagou.
The villagers said this place was a mysterious and dangerous place, and only the brave and fearless could enter.
Brother Chao's master has a special identity.
He has extensive experience in exploring ancient tombs, and this place is known as a blessed land.
When they arrived at Majiagou, a strong, damp smell hit them, making them feel uneasy.
"If we want to find the ancient tomb, we first need to solve the problem of that transparent four-legged snake," Chao said with a serious expression.
Chen Ze glanced at Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue and nodded.
They decided to temporarily leave Majiagou in search of the transparent lizard.
As they continued their trek and exploration, they discovered that there were no other traces of humankind where the transparent lizard had been, indicating that this place truly was unknown to others.
Suddenly, Chen Ze heard a faint hissing sound.
He frowned and gestured to the other two to be careful.
Tian Siyao chanted a spell softly, and the surrounding plants withered instantly, revealing the transparent four-legged snake hidden among them.
Several swords formed a small circle, surrounding the transparent lizard.
"Watch out!" Qin Miyue suddenly shouted.
A giant, transparent lizard rushed in from all directions.
Chen Ze and Tian Siyao nervously wielded their swords to counterattack, while Qin Miyue used magic to assist in the attack.
After a fierce battle, they finally managed to defeat the transparent lizards.
Despite their various special abilities and skills, they still felt a sense of tension whenever they faced these monsters.
"Thankfully, we're all alright." Tian Siyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, let's continue our search," Chen Ze encouraged. They decided to visit the water god.
Although it was just an excuse, it was a good way to avoid being tracked by Brother Chao and the others.
As they explored further, they came to a Dragon King Temple on a small island.
There is only one tall statue of the Dragon King in the temple.
Old Ma stepped forward and explained, "This Dragon King Temple has a very long history."
"More than a hundred years ago, a flood destroyed houses on both sides of the river. Only a group of people on the island survived and became the ancestors of Majiagou."
“Our older generation built this temple to express our respect for our clan and the local community.”
Tian Siyao carefully savored the gratitude contained in Old Man Ma's words.
The Dragon King Temple on this small island, which stands alone, gave her a sense of mystery and solemnity.
"Then let's go visit the water god," Chen Ze suggested.
"Visiting the Water God?" Old Man Ma looked at Chen Ze and the other two with a puzzled expression.
"But didn't you come here to find treasure?"
Chen Ze smiled and said, "We still need to use certain means to protect ourselves and the villagers."
"I see." Old Man Ma nodded. "Then I'll take you to see the Water God."
They followed Old Man Ma to an ancient well, where the sound of flowing water could be heard.
Old Ma introduced the well to Tian Siyao and the other two, saying, "This is the legendary Water God Well in our village."
"Villagers come here to pray for peace and happiness during special times."
Tian Siyao and the others watched Old Man Ma leave, then whispered to Chen Ze and Qin Miyue, "We need to avoid Brother Chao and the others' pursuit and begin our own exploration."
"However, we need to be careful in this quiet and dark environment," Qin Miyue reminded everyone.
"That was just a delaying tactic."
"Okay, let's go."
After a moment of silence, they resolutely stepped onto the stairs leading down to the depths of the underground beneath the Water God Well.
The staircase gradually disappeared into the darkness, with only a faint light guiding their way.
When they reached the bottom, they were met with a huge, enclosed cave.
The walls are inlaid with gemstones that shimmer with a faint light.
Deep inside the cave, a colossal statue, as clear as crystal, appeared.
This is the being the water god, as the villagers call him.
"Stay calm, we need to stay composed," Tian Siyao reminded everyone.
Chen Ze and Qin Miyue nodded softly, understanding that they had to proceed with caution when dealing with such a powerful being.
As they approached the water god, they felt immense pressure.
Intense energy fluctuations surrounded them.
“It’s time to reveal the truth,” Chen Ze said resolutely.
Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue followed closely behind, realizing that a huge and mysterious mystery was hidden behind this village.
But at the last moment, Old Man Ma appeared and stopped them from continuing their exploration.
Since it was the other party's belief, Chen Ze and the others decided to temporarily stop their investigation and return to the village.
Inside a quaint inn in Mulan Village, Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze discussed their next plan.
They decided to stay there temporarily for a few days so that Tian Siyao would have time to decipher the mysterious symbols on the bracelet.
They began to delve deeper into the mystery of the power transmission circulating in the village.
As night falls, golden lights illuminate the inn.
In a quiet corner, Tian Siyao stared intently at the bracelet in her hand.
She gently stroked the mysterious symbols, trying to feel the energy they contained.
Chen Ze and Qin Miyue sat beside her, quietly waiting for her breakthrough discovery.
After a while, Tian Siyao closed her eyes slightly and began to silently recite the incantation.
A series of vague impressions flooded her mind, so dense and chaotic.
“These symbols are clues connecting the ancient tomb and the source of power,” Tian Siyao said slowly.
"The exact location is still unclear, but I can sense a powerful and mysterious force in this village."
Chen Ze and Qin Miyue exchanged glances. They knew the importance of this power, which might be intricately connected to the secrets of the ancient tomb.
The next day, the sun shone brightly and warmly on the village.
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze prepared to go to the Qing Teng Tea House outside the village.
They walked away, and as they passed through the corridor, Chen Ze deliberately paused for a moment and looked towards the entrance of the teahouse.
Just then, a mysterious figure walked out of the teahouse.
He was tall and imposing, with a resolute face.
It was a brief exchange of glances that made Chen Ze realize that they had successfully attracted attention.
Tian Siyao gently patted Chen Ze's shoulder, "It seems we've finally found someone who truly knows the location of the ancient tomb."
Qin Miyue frowned slightly and said, "Should we contact him?"
"Not yet," Chen Ze said with a faint smile. "Our most important task right now is to investigate the mystery of the hidden power inheritance within the village." (End of Chapter)
