Chapter 883
Mutual Help
A surge of joy welled up in Tian Siyao's heart.
She thanked the woman gratefully and told herself she would not let this opportunity slip away.
In order to conduct a more in-depth investigation, the team decided to go to Yulong Ridge, located in the center of the valley.
Chen Ze led Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue away from Emerald Mist Valley and headed towards Jade Dragon Ridge.
As you step into the foot of the mountain, a biting cold wind hits you, making you feel as if you have entered another world.
The mountain road is rugged and treacherous, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist.
Soon after, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
A massive ancient tomb appeared before us, silently nestled in the clouds.
"This is the tomb of the King of War," Tian Siyao said excitedly.
The group looked around and saw that the tomb was surrounded by a persistent mist, as if it were guarding the secrets of the place.
A sacred and solemn atmosphere permeated the entire air.
"We need to proceed with caution," Qin Miyue cautioned.
She began chanting incantations, preparing to deal with any unexpected situation.
Chen Ze gripped the sword hilt tightly, looking around warily.
He could sense the immense power emanating from the ancient tomb behind him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
Tian Siyao stared intently at the textures and patterns carved on the ancient tomb.
She carefully examined every detail, trying to find clues related to the pattern on her bracelet.
Suddenly, a faint light shone from the depths of the ancient tomb.
"Look!" Chen Ze shouted.
The tomb chamber, nestled in the slope, emitted an eerie yet dazzling light.
It's like a huge, mysterious gem lying inside.
Tian Siyao held the bracelet up to her eyes and noticed that the symbols on it were shimmering with the light emitted by the gemstones.
"This...this gemstone has the same pattern as the one on my bracelet!" Tian Siyao exclaimed in surprise.
A mix of excitement and confusion welled up inside her.
Qin Miyue frowned, staring intently at the gemstone.
"Could this be the source of power we've been searching for?" she murmured to herself.
Chen Ze gripped the sword hilt tightly and said passionately, "We can't miss this opportunity. Why don't we try to take it out?"
He cautiously stepped into the tomb and reached out to touch the gem that emitted a mysterious light.
Instantly, a powerful energy surged into Chen Ze's body, making him feel as if his entire body was on fire.
Tian Siyao exclaimed in surprise: "Chen Ze!"
Qin Miyue was also drawn to this sudden change, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.
At the same time, four figures shrouded in holy light appeared out of nowhere around the tomb.
"The god who bestowed power and wisdom upon the spirit cat in legend," Tian Siyao murmured to herself.
Everyone felt somewhat at a loss when faced with this sudden test.
However, everyone decided to continue forward, and when they saw the pool of water that appeared before them, they were somewhat at a loss.
At this moment, Chen Ze gazed at the shimmering blue water in the deep pool.
He knew this was a life-or-death moment.
He took a deep breath, then quickly removed his clothes, revealing his strong muscles and perfect physique.
"I'll go explore the bottom of the pool to see if there's a secret passage leading to the tomb," he said, turning to Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue.
Qin Miyue nodded, closed her eyes, and began chanting a spell.
The magic she has learned can provide Chen Ze with additional protection and power.
Tian Siyao stood at the cave entrance, carefully observing the hidden mechanisms or symbols on the cave walls.
She keenly scanned her surroundings and gradually noticed that the cave entrance was surrounded by faintly glowing crystals.
The crystals formed a complex and mysterious pattern, which Tian Siyao guessed might be some kind of magical totem. She slowed her pace and carefully examined each crystal.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed before her eyes, and she heard a faint mechanical sound.
She stopped abruptly, trying her best to recall the pattern, her gaze sweeping intently over each crystal.
After a difficult dive, Chen Ze finally reached the bottom of the cave.
The bottom of the pool exuded a deep and mysterious aura, and the surroundings were as dark as a black hole.
He lit the magic lamp in his hand, illuminating the surroundings.
Gradually, a distant and bright spot of light caught his attention.
He followed the light to a larger cave, where the walls were covered with intricate runes and ancient warrior patterns.
For thousands of years, no one has cleaned or repaired them, yet they seem to still retain their former glory and authority.
Chen Ze held his breath, marveling at how much history and unknown things were hidden in the tomb.
Tian Siyao stared blankly at the colorful patterns on the cave wall.
Suddenly, she noticed that one of the crystals had a picture of a spirit cat drawn on it.
A new idea popped into her mind: these crystals might unlock the mysterious passage.
She quickly approached the cluster of crystals and carefully rotated the crystal with the cat pattern.
A miracle occurred: the crystals connected with each other, forming a passage.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the cave, and the surrounding air trembled along with the falling dust.
Startled, Tian Siyao stumbled and accidentally triggered a mechanism.
The entire cave was immediately thrown into turbulence and vibration.
Chen Ze immediately felt the cave shaking violently.
He quickly searched for an exit and tried to return to the cave entrance to protect Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue.
He wielded his sword, cutting through all obstacles as he swiftly traversed the caves.
With his skillful use of swordsmanship, he avoided the falling rocks and debris.
Finally, as the dust gradually settled, he successfully returned to Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue's side.
The three of them huddled together tightly.
The tremors in the cave gradually subsided.
"Thankfully, we are all safe and sound."
Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and, looking at Tian Siyao's slightly trembling body, he took her hand.
“We have discovered the secret passage leading to the tomb.” Tian Siyao hesitated for a moment before explaining the mechanism she had discovered in a trembling voice.
Qin Miyue listened quietly, nodding with a smile.
"Tian Siyao, you are amazing!" she exclaimed. "This discovery will be a major breakthrough in our adventure."
Next, they will traverse the secret passage leading to the tomb of the King of War.
They firmly believed that they would encounter greater and more sacred challenges and revelations there.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Chu." A voice suddenly rang out.
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze turned around and saw a young and beautiful woman appear before them.
Xiao Chu was wearing a light blue long dress, and her long hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall.
Her sudden appearance surprised Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Tian Siyao asked warily.
Xiao Chu smiled and explained, "I am also searching for a way to lift a certain curse. I heard that you are heading to Jade Dragon Ridge to investigate the tomb of the King of War."
She continued, "I am willing to cooperate with you; we can help each other."
Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue smiled at each other, feeling very fortunate to have met this mysterious and kind woman.
"Thank you for your help," Chen Ze said sincerely. "We should work together." (End of Chapter)
