Chapter 883: Discovering the Dangerous Elephant in the Palace(2/2)

When others saw this scene, they all smiled with relief.

Suddenly, the man in white stopped and looked forward with a serious look.

"Wait..." He said in a deep voice, "It seems like something is ahead..."

Everyone chased the fleeing Shadow Assassin, walked through the deep corridor, turned a corner, and suddenly opened up in front of them.

A spacious stone chamber appeared in front of everyone, with night pearls embedded on the stone walls emitting soft light, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

In the middle of the stone chamber, a huge bronze treasure chest is placed, with complex patterns carved on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Treasure!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed, and her eyes lit up.

The others were also stunned by the scene in front of them and forgot to pursue the assassin for a moment.

They had never seen such a gorgeous treasure chest, and their hearts were filled with excitement and expectation.

However, a light blue light curtain is surrounded by a treasure chest, like an indestructible barrier, which firmly protects the treasure chest.

"Is this... a seal?" Elder Chen narrowed his eyes, observed the light curtain carefully, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that this treasure is not easily obtained."

Everyone circled around the treasure chest for a few times, their faces full of anticipation and helplessness.

They long to get the treasure in the treasure chest, but they are helpless in this mysterious seal.

Doctor Zhang tried to touch the light curtain with his hand, but was bounced back by a powerful force.

"This seal is very strong, we must be careful." He rubbed his numb hands and reminded everyone.

The seal emits a flashing blue light, like breathing, full of mysterious aura.

Everyone held their breath and watched the magical scene, their hearts filled with tension and expectation.

They know that behind this seal, there are greater challenges and opportunities.

Suddenly, Elder Chen pointed to a groove on the top of the treasure chest and said excitedly: "Look! It seems that something can be placed there!" Everyone looked along his fingers and found that there was a strange-shaped groove on the top of the treasure chest.

"Can it be the keyhole?" Xiaohong guessed.

"Maybe..." The man in white pondered for a moment, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and tried to put it in the groove.

The jade pendant fits perfectly with the groove!

Just as the jade pendant was embedded in the groove, the sealed light suddenly became even more dazzling, and the entire stone chamber began to tremble slightly.

Everyone was shocked and realized that something was wrong.

"Boom..." With a loud noise, the ground of the stone chamber suddenly cracked, and countless sharp spikes extended out of the cracks and attacked everyone!

"Be careful!" The man in white pulled Xiaohong over and avoided the spike's attack.

Others also dodged one after another, and the stone chamber suddenly became in chaos.

Trap! They touched the mechanism!

The moment the jade pendant was embedded in the groove, the stone chamber trembled violently, the ground cracked, and countless sharp thorns rushed out like poisonous snakes, reaching everyone!

"Be careful!" The man in white growled, pulled Xiaohong to dodge, and the sharp thorns rubbed the corner of her clothes, leaving a heart-pounding sound of breaking through the air.

In the stone chamber, screams and sounds of breaking through the air were intertwined, and everyone dodged left and right under the shadow of death.

Xiaohong's face was pale, looking at the spikes that kept appearing in horror, her heart beating wildly, as if it was about to pop out of her throat.

Luo Xiaoyu waved the short knife in her hand, slashing the nearby spikes, and sparks flew everywhere.

The attack of the trap became more and more fierce, and the spikes fell like raindrops. Everyone was exhausted and sweat soaked their clothes.

Luo Xiaoyu staggered and was almost pierced by a sharp prick. She gritted her teeth and rolled to avoid it. Just when everyone was about to be unable to hold on, an old voice echoed in the stone chamber: "Stop!"

A flash of light, a mysterious old man in a gray robe appeared in the middle of the stone chamber. He slowly raised his hand, the cracks on the ground quickly closed, and the spikes disappeared.

The old man looked at everyone with a torch and glanced at everyone: "If you want to get the treasure here, you must pass my test." Everyone looked at each other, and this sudden test caught them off guard.

The old man's test is extremely difficult and they need to solve a series of ancient puzzles. If they are not careful, they will trigger new traps.

Everyone looked embarrassed, the test was much more severe than they thought.

"We can't give up!" Luo Xiaoyu was the first to stand up, with a firm tone, "In order to find the treasure, we must be tested!" Others also nodded and encouraged each other. The old man nodded slightly and said slowly: "Very good, the courage is commendable. Now, I'll ask you..." Elder Chen took a step forward, ready to answer the old man's first question, but...

Elder Chen took a step forward, took a deep breath, and slowly gave the answer.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a harsh alarm sounded in the stone chamber, and a red light shrouded Elder Chen, and an invisible force bound him to the spot.

Elder Chen roared in pain, his body trembled violently, and strange red patterns appeared on his skin, as if magma was flowing in his blood vessels, burning every inch of his skin.

Sweat instantly soaked his clothes, and beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. He gritted his teeth, but could not suppress his painful moans.

Everyone looked at this scene in horror, but they could do nothing.

Luo Xiaoyu wanted to rush forward, but was pulled by the man in white: "Don't be impulsive! This is the old man's test, we cannot interfere!" Xiaohong covered her mouth, tears rolling in her eyes. Looking at Elder Chen's painful appearance, her heart seemed to be tightly held by an invisible big hand, and she could hardly breathe.

The air around seemed to solidify, and was so depressing that it was suffocating.

Everyone's mood was as if they were falling into an ice cellar, so heavy that they could not speak.

Just when everyone thought Elder Chen was about to be eliminated, a sudden change occurred.

Elder Chen's painful moans gradually weakened, replaced by a low chant.

He slowly closed his eyes and formed a strange seal with his hands. The red patterns on his body began to fade away, replaced by a faint golden light.

A powerful wave of energy emanated from him, impacting the surrounding air and making buzzing sounds.

Everyone looked at this scene in surprise. Elder Chen slowly opened his eyes, with a wise light flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and spoke again, this time, his voice was filled with power: "The answer is..."

"Wait!" The old man suddenly spoke and interrupted Elder Chen's words.

But, this is just the beginning...



Elder Chen accurately gave the final answer.

The old man nodded in praise: "Yes, you passed my test." With a wave of his hand, the stone door slowly opened, revealing the passage to the treasure secret room.

Golden light poured out from the crack of the door, illuminating everyone's faces and igniting the hope in their hearts.

Everyone successfully passed all the tests of the mysterious old man.

The old man recognized their wisdom and perseverance and opened the treasure secret room.

The heavy stone door made a deafening friction sound, slowly opening to both sides, and an ancient and mysterious aura came to the face, making people feel refreshed.

What is presented to everyone is a magnificent secret room.

Countless treasures are piled up like mountains, shining with dazzling light.

The gems shone on the faces of everyone, reflecting the surprise and excitement in their eyes.

A powerful force surged in the secret room, as if waiting to be awakened.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and feel this shocking power.

"We succeeded!" Luo Xiaoyu cheered excitedly, his voice echoing in the secret room.

Others also showed joyful smiles, cheers and laughter intertwined to celebrate their victory.

They couldn't wait to enter the secret room and enjoy the hard-earned joy.

The man in white gently took Xiaohong's hand and walked into the secret room, sweeping over the dazzling array of treasures.

The two of them whispered from time to time. The man in white picked up a jade pendant that emitted a soft light and handed it to Xiaohong: "Give it to you." Xiaohong took the jade pendant shyly and snuggled gently in the arms of the man in white, with a happy smile on her face.

When the people around saw this scene, they all showed blessings and a sweet atmosphere filled the air.

"It's time for us to go back." Elder Chen looked at everyone and said softly.
