Chapter 358: Not as easy as opening the treasure box before
He felt that this communication with the altar was not as simple as opening the treasure box before. The frequency of the runes began to become chaotic, as if it was rejecting his access, or testing his will and determination.
"Rong Yu, are you okay?" Tong Luoluo's worried voice sounded in her ears. She stretched out her hand, trying to support Rong Yu, who looked a little shaky.
Rong Yu shook his head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, but this altar... seems to be much more complicated than I imagined."
Ye Wuhen tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, alert to any possible changes: "We have to be careful, there may be unknown mechanisms or traps hidden here."
The old man also stepped forward, his eyes revealing a deep wisdom: "Young man, sometimes, strength is not the only way to solve a problem. Perhaps we need to change our way of thinking to understand the true meaning of these runes."
Rong Yu was moved when he heard this. He recalled what the old man had said before, that the treasure could be a legacy, a power, or even a curse. Perhaps, their methods had indeed been biased.
"Old man, are you saying... we shouldn't try to communicate with these runes by force, but should try to understand their meaning?" Rong Yu asked.
The old man nodded. "That's right. These runes may be the crystallization of the wisdom of a powerful ancient force. They contain profound meaning and power. Only by truly understanding them can we find the correct way to open the altar."
Rong Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He began to carefully observe the runes on the altar, trying to find some pattern or clues from them. As time went by, he found that these runes did not seem to be arranged randomly, but were combined together in a certain order and logic.
"Look, these runes... they seem to be telling a story." Rong Yu pointed at the runes on the altar and said to Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen.
Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen heard this and immediately came forward to carefully observe the runes. They found that the runes really seemed to be telling an ancient and mysterious story about power, inheritance and curse.
"So what does this story... have to do with our treasure hunt?" Tong Luoluo asked curiously.
Rong Yu pondered for a moment and slowly said: "Perhaps, this story is the key to opening the altar. We need to follow the clues of the story to find the correct way to open it."
Ye Wuhen nodded in agreement. He and Rong Yu began to study the runes carefully, trying to find clues and logic of the story.
As time went by, they gradually understood the story told by the runes. This is a story about a powerful ancient force that set up numerous traps and mechanisms to protect its treasures and secrets. The altar is their last line of defense, and it can only be opened if you truly understand and follow their rules.
"So that's how it is... We need to follow their rules to solve this mystery." Rong Yu suddenly realized. He looked at Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen with a determined light in his eyes.
Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen also nodded. They knew that they had found the right direction. They began to follow the clues of the story told by the runes and solve the mystery of the altar step by step.
As they explored deeper, the runes on the altar began to glow brighter, and the low roar gradually became softer and more orderly, as if welcoming their arrival.
Finally, with their joint efforts, the altar slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to a deeper underground palace. The passage was shining, as if a whole new world was waiting for their exploration.
"We succeeded!" Tong Luoluo shouted excitedly, her face filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
Ye Wuhen also smiled. He looked at Rong Yu and the old man and nodded to express his gratitude: "Thanks to your wisdom and courage, we can get to this point."
Rong Yu took a deep breath and looked into the depths of the passage. He knew that although they had solved the mystery of the altar, the real challenge had just begun. This underground palace might hide even more shocking secrets and dangers.
"Let's go and see what secrets this underground palace hides." Rong Yu waved his hand and led the way into the depths of the passage.
Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen followed closely behind, and they carefully shuttled through the passage. As they went deeper, the scene of the underground palace gradually appeared before their eyes.
The palace was magnificent, with sparkling gems and precious artworks everywhere. And those gems and artworks seemed to contain some mysterious power, which made people want to touch and explore them.
"This place... is so beautiful!" Tong Luoluo widened his eyes and looked at the underground palace in amazement.
Ye Wuhen also frowned, holding the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. He knew that the beautiful scenery here might be just an appearance, and the real danger might be hidden in the dark.
Rong Yu remained alert, looking at the stone walls and ceilings around him, trying to find possible hidden mechanisms or traps. He knew that the owner of this underground palace would not easily let outsiders enter their territory.
As they were searching around, a deep voice suddenly echoed in the palace. The voice seemed to be a call from ancient times, or some mysterious spell, which made people feel cold.
"What's that sound?" Tong Luoluo asked nervously, her hands unconsciously tightening around the sword at her waist.
Ye Wuhen also frowned. He looked at Rong Yu and the old man, trying to find the answer from their expressions.
Rong Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't panic at this time, otherwise it would only make things worse. He looked at the source of the sound and found that it was a huge stone statue, whose eyes seemed to be flashing strange light.
"That stone statue... seems to be a little wrong." Rong Yu said in a low voice. He looked at Ye Wuhen and Tong Luoluo, motioning them to follow.
The three of them walked towards the statue carefully, their heartbeats quickening and their nerves tense to the extreme. When they arrived in front of the statue, they found that there was a small gem hidden in the eyes of the statue.
"This gem... is somewhat similar to the one we saw in the treasure box before." Rong Yu muttered to himself. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the gem.
At this moment, the deep voice sounded again, as if warning them not to act rashly. Rong Yu's heart moved, he withdrew his hand, looked at the stone statue, and tried to find some clues from it.
Suddenly, he noticed that the corner of the statue's mouth seemed to have a strange smile, which seemed to be mocking their ignorance and greed, and also seemed to be luring them into the abyss.
"This stone statue... has something wrong." Rong Yu said in a deep voice. He looked at Ye Wuhen and Tong Luoluo, signaling them to step back.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuhen and Tong Luoluo immediately stepped back and looked at the stone statue warily. They knew that this stone statue might hide some unknown danger.
At this moment, the stone statue suddenly moved. Two dazzling rays of light shot out from its eyes, shooting straight at Rong Yu and the other two. Rong Yu was startled, and he immediately waved the sword in his hand, trying to block the two rays of light.
However, the light seemed to be tangible, easily penetrating his sword and shooting straight at their bodies. Rong Yu only felt a sharp pain, and his body was hit by the light and flew out.
"Rong Yu!" Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen exclaimed, and they immediately rushed forward and supported Rong Yu.
Rong Yu struggled to stand up. He looked at the stone statue with a determined light in his eyes: "This stone statue... is alive! We must be careful!"
After that, he took the lead and rushed towards the stone statue, trying to find its weakness. Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen followed closely behind, knowing that only by uniting together could they defeat this unknown enemy.
