Chapter 882
The Spirit Cat
As the destruction was complete, the entire ancient tomb began to tremble, and a powerful energy swept in.
With a violent shaking sound, the traps inside the cave were triggered one by one.
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, Chen Ze, and the mysterious figure quickly hid.
Mud and sand collapsed from the top, sealing the entrance to the ancient tomb.
The power of the black coffin ultimately vanished after its destruction.
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze all breathed a sigh of relief.
The mysterious figure turned and left, his face still shrouded in darkness.
“A mysterious figure…” Tian Siyao wanted to ask something, but before she could finish speaking, he had already disappeared without a trace.
As the sounds of breaking and cracking echoed from inside the cave, they quickly left the ancient tomb.
Standing outside the cave, I gazed at the bright stars in the night sky.
Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, "At least we saved Mulan Village and averted the catastrophe brought by the black coffin."
Looking into the depths of the cave, Tian Siyao felt a sense of accomplishment. "Yes, our efforts have not been in vain."
Qin Miyue looked at the brightest star in the sky, "But we still have many mysteries to unravel."
After struggling through the ruins, the three arrived at the center of the Dragon Lord's Palace.
The surrounding area was a mess, destroyed by the flood, with only an ancient bronze coffin standing in the middle of the hall.
Tian Siyao frowned, staring at the seemingly indestructible coffin.
She knew this was the key to their continued exploration of the mystery.
She focused her mind and recalled her knowledge of symbols.
“This coffin is engraved with ancient runes, and it seems to have some kind of activation method,” Tian Siyao murmured to herself.
Qin Miyue frowned. "What should we do? This coffin looks exceptionally sturdy."
Chen Ze gently shook his head. "We can't just sit here and wait to die. Tian Siyao will find a way."
Tian Siyao quietly focused her mind and observed the surface of the coffin for a long time before her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I understand!" she said excitedly.
The three exchanged glances, eagerly awaiting Tian Siyao's detailed interpretation.
"The coffin is engraved with a series of geometric patterns and symbols, which represent different elements and forces."
“I can deduce the opening method based on their arrangement and differences,” Tian Siyao explained confidently.
Following her research experience, Tian Siyao began to analyze the patterns and symbols one by one, nodding frequently as if she had made progress.
Just as Tian Siyao was getting close to the truth, she suddenly stopped.
The seemingly indestructible coffin before her was not as simple as she had imagined.
“This interpretation is a bit more complicated.” Tian Siyao frowned.
Chen Ze suddenly remembered that Xiao Chu had previously suggested using charcoal to lure the transparent lizards in order to better explore the surrounding environment.
He suddenly smiled slightly, "Perhaps we can take advantage of Xiao Chu's suggestion."
Qin Miyue nodded in agreement, "That's right, if we can lure out the transparent lizard, we might make a breakthrough."
Tian Siyao also realized the possibility. "Good idea! We've prepared charcoal tokens. To better explore, we need to find an open space to set them up."
The three quickly found a suitable location near the hall and arranged the charcoal tablets according to a certain pattern.
As the bait began to take effect, the silhouettes of transparent lizards gradually appeared in the surrounding area.
Tian Siyao couldn't help but steal a glance at Chen Ze, a warm feeling rising in her heart.
The three of them always supported and encouraged each other when facing difficulties.
As the transparent lizards emerged one after another under the lure, Tian Siyao began to cast a spell, creating illusions in the space to distract the numerous transparent lizards.
Qin Miyue calmly cast a spell to create an invisible shield for herself and her teammates to deal with possible emergencies.
Chen Ze brandished his sword, intently watching his surroundings.
He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on the transparent lizards that were being disturbed and distracted. In the tense atmosphere, Tian Siyao finally found her opportunity.
With determination and inspiration, she prepared to unravel the mystery of this bronze coffin.
She carefully touched a pattern on the coffin, and the runes immediately emitted a hazy light.
Tian Siyao began to connect the relationships and differences between the patterns.
As Tian Siyao's deductions got closer and closer to the truth.
The transparent lizards grew increasingly nervous, becoming suspicious and wary of them.
Suddenly, just when Tian Siyao thought she had solved the puzzle, the ground began to tremble.
The runes on the wall lit up rapidly and intertwined with the runes on the bronze coffin.
Tian Siyao gripped the bracelet tightly, her face beaming with excitement.
She looked at Qin Miyue and Chen Ze, her eyes gleaming with determination.
“We’ve finally found the next clue!” she exclaimed excitedly.
Qin Miyue frowned slightly, staring at the intricate patterns on the bracelet.
A few doubts arose in her mind.
“But what is the connection between these patterns and civets?” she questioned.
Tian Siyao frowned slightly and took a deep breath.
“In my research, I have found a representative connection between similar symbols and deities.”
"Perhaps these patterns represent not just ordinary civets, but some kind of being with special power or sacred significance."
Chen Ze listened quietly, stroking the hilt of his sword.
He was certain that Tian Siyao would find the answer.
“Perhaps asking the local villagers would be helpful,” he suggested.
Tian Siyao nodded in agreement and led them away from the Dragon Lord's Palace, beginning their journey towards Emerald Mist Valley.
When they finally arrived at Emerald Mist Valley after traversing the dense forest, they felt as if they had entered a fairyland.
A thin mist lingered, creating a hazy and beautiful scene.
The village is located in the center of a valley.
The three entered the village and were surrounded by a group of enthusiastic villagers.
“Welcome to our Emerald Valley!” an elderly villager said with a kind smile.
Chen Ze politely responded to their greetings, and then Tian Siyao stepped forward….…
“What do you know about civets? I believe it’s related to the pattern on my hand,” she asked earnestly.
The villagers were silent for a moment, then exchanged glances.
The last older woman stepped forward to speak.
"Young man, are you looking for the spirit cat? It is the most revered creature here."
“It has played an important role in the lives of each of us since ancient legends.”
Tian Siyao listened excitedly and asked her to tell her the relevant information.
"Legend has it that the civet is a mysterious creature that can maintain contact with nature and other worlds."
“Every village has a guardian who uses the power of the spirit cat to maintain the village’s safety and prosperity,” the woman explained.
Tian Siyao was shocked, feeling that the clues related to the power inherited by her family were becoming clearer.
"Could you tell me if these patterns on my hands are related to civets?" she asked eagerly.
The woman looked Tian Siyao up and down for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Young man, the pattern on your hand is the symbol we pass on to every guardian."
"When you encounter difficulties, the spirit cat will help you overcome them and guide you to gain greater power." (End of Chapter)
