Chapter 1860 - 1861: Ancient Tomb Treasure
The treasure had been unveiled three days earlier, so guided by Lou Yaoyao’s Miracle Medicine Fragment, Ye Xuan and the others quickly arrived at the entrance of the treasure.
At this moment, in front of them stood a pitch-black cave like the mouth of a giant beast, the cave entrance seemed to once have a door, but it had already been opened by someone.
And inside and outside the cave entrance, piles of corpses had already built up like mountains.
Even here at the Snow Mountain Summit, amidst the bitter cold, the strong smell of blood couldn’t be frozen, making one’s heart race upon catching a whiff.
"This is too cruel."
The group looked around, seeing the countless corpses, they couldn’t help sighing once more.
Such a bloody scene was quite rare even on the battlefield.
Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and turned to glance at Lou Yaoyao who was lying on his back: "Can you get down now?"
"Oh, I haven’t had enough of lying!"
Lou Yaoyao coquettishly whined but didn’t linger, she hopped off Ye Xuan’s back, then used the Miracle Medicine Fragment to once again confirm the location of the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus.
When the small glass bottle pointed toward the cave, it emitted a faint glow.
The Sky Mountain Blood Lotus was indeed inside the treasure.
"Everyone be careful."
Ye Xuan gave a reminder, then was the first to lift his foot and step into the cave.
The group followed.
Inside the cave, it seemed a bit warmer compared to the outside, but the smell of blood was even more intense.
Ye Xuan spoke up: "Shine the light."
The burly Xiong Shan took out a flashlight, illuminating the path ahead.
Ahead, there was a bottomless passageway, with extremely low temperatures causing thick ice and snow to cover the walls, sharp icicles protruding, both intimidating and dazzling.
The passage was very wide, with many corpses, exuding a chilling atmosphere.
With the help of the light, Ye Xuan and the group followed the passageway, moving deeper in.
After walking for about ten minutes, they still hadn’t reached the location of the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, nor seen any other valuable treasures.
The passageway seemed endless, as if apart from the bodies strewn along the way, there was nothing else at all.
This even made people doubt whether the supposed treasure truly existed.
However, the treasure was not Ye Xuan’s main objective, so this scene didn’t affect their progress at all.
After another half hour, they finally reached the end of the passageway.
But there’s no way forward.
Because, a heavy and massive stone gate sealed off the passage.
Before the stone gate, several corpses were already frozen, and even beneath the stone gate, there were two bodies wedged.
Seeing this scene, everyone wore expressions of shock.
"They say this treasure is an ancient tomb, this stone gate should be the entrance to the tomb, and apparently, someone has already opened the gate before!" Ye Xiaoying said solemnly.
Ye Xuan nodded, observing the stone gate.
This stone gate was clearly man-made, seemingly hiding a mechanism. Relying on brute force alone, it likely couldn’t be opened, otherwise, the stone gate would have long been reduced to rubble.
"To have a tomb built at the Snow Mountain Summit, the person buried here must have been a peak figure of their era." Lou Yaoyao grinned at Ye Xuan: "Little brother, there must be many treasures in this Ancient Tomb Ruins, I’ll help you find them!"
"What treasures? Let’s open this stone gate first." Ye Xuan said sternly: "Do you have a way to open it?"
Lou Yaoyao glanced at the stone gate, stuck out her tongue, and said: "Maybe Lou Xinyu can, he has some research in this area. I’m not good with these mechanism secret techniques."
Ye Xuan frowned, so Lou Xinyu had gone in already?
This wasn’t good news.
With Lou Xinyu’s strength, if given enough time, the treasures in this Ancient Tomb Ruins and the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus might all be taken by him.
Everyone was troubled.
At this moment.
Boom!!
The heavy and ancient stone gate suddenly emitted a deafening rumble, as if the earth trembled along with it.
Ye Xuan’s sword-like brows lifted, his gaze shifting.
After a momentary tremor, the stone gate unexpectedly lifted itself from the ground, vanishing into the ceiling of the passage in the blink of an eye.
A burst of strong light surged forth from behind the stone gate, making it difficult for Ye Xuan and the others to see.
Moments later, they adjusted to the sudden brightness, and were astounded.
Because the scene beyond the stone gate was too magnificent, too astonishing!
Resplendent and magnificent.
Yes, only these four words, resplendent and magnificent, could adequately describe the scene unfolding before them.
Outside the stone gate, it was bitterly cold.
Yet beyond the stone gate was an incredibly vast space, like a massive cave, with an interior that could be described as unparalleled in its decor.
Each decorative column was made of pure gold!
All four walls were plated with a thick layer of gold, inlaid with countless diamonds, gems, and Luminous Pearls!
It was precisely because of this decor that the oil lamps, lit by someone and supposed to glow dimly, became extraordinarily bright through countless reflections.
And even blinding!!
Even without considering anything else, from what Ye Xuan and the others saw at first glance, it was undeniably a great treasure.
The wealth contained in this treasure was simply immeasurable!!
"What the hell..." Ye Lang exclaimed directly: "Who on earth was this ancient tomb’s owner? This is too extravagant!"
Ye Xuan withdrew his thoughts, quickly calming his emotions.
Then, he turned to look at Ye Lang, noticing Ye Lang’s hands on an ancient lion’s head on the left wall of the passage, the lion’s head being adjusted, clearly a mechanism.
Ye Lang had opened the stone gate.
Ye Xuan was taken aback: "When did you learn about mechanism secret techniques?"
Ye Lang snapped back to reality, proudly said: "Boss, you wouldn’t know, would you? After you returned to East Sea, I was quite bored in Dragon Castle, I studied all sorts of things, hehe, these ancient mechanism secret techniques couldn’t be missed either."
Ye Xuan paused, but soon understood.
Ye Lang, this guy, as the undisputed top hacker in the world today, naturally had a brain and intelligence far above ordinary people. When he wanted to study something, he often succeeded much faster than others.
Ye Xuan nodded: "Not bad, after we’re done, I’ll give you a vacation."
Ye Lang’s eyes immediately lit up: "Really? Then I’ll visit all the bars in East Sea!"
Everyone: "..."
Ye Xuan waved his hand: "This stone gate should have a time limit, it’ll close again later, let’s hurry in."
