Chapter 356 Although there are doubts in my heart
Rong Yu frowned, his eyes wandering around the entrance of the deep corridor. Although he had a thousand doubts in his mind, he was more curious and eager about the unknown.
He turned to look at Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen, his eyes revealing a questioning look.
"What do you think? This passage does look a little weird, but maybe the clue to the treasure is hidden in it."
Rong Yu spoke in a steady voice, trying to calm everyone's inner turmoil.
Tong Luoluo blinked and said excitedly:
"What are you afraid of? We have killed the black shadow. How can a small tunnel be difficult for us? Besides, there is an old saying that wealth and honor are achieved through risk!"
Ye Wuhen also nodded. Although his expression was a little solemn, his tone was firm:
"I agree. Now that we have come this far, there is no turning back. Moreover, I always feel that this passage is inextricably linked to the treasure we are looking for."
The old man stood aside, with a meaningful smile on his face, as if he had anticipated the decision of the three people. "Young man, your courage is commendable. However, remember, the real treasure is not just gold and silver. Sometimes, it may be an experience, a memory, or a lesson."
Rong Yu was moved when he heard this. He looked at the old man deeply, then waved his hand and made a decision: "Then let's go in and take a look. No matter what the result is, at least we tried."
The four of them walked into the corridor carefully, one in front of the other. The corridor was extremely dark, with only a faint light coming through the gap above their heads, barely enough to illuminate the path under their feet. The air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, which made people nervous involuntarily.
"This corridor seems to be longer than I imagined." Tong Luoluo muttered softly, his hand unconsciously tightening the sword at his waist.
"Yes, and the further you go in, the more depressing the atmosphere becomes." Ye Wuhen also echoed, his eyes always alert to his surroundings, fearing any sudden danger.
Rong Yu walked in front, holding a glowing gem in his hand. It was obtained in their previous adventure, which could illuminate the darkness and dispel evil. The light of the gem flickered in the corridor, guiding them.
Suddenly, a low roar came from deep in the tunnel, shaking the ground slightly. The three of them immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the sound with nervous expressions.
"What's that sound?" Tong Luoluo's voice trembled a little, and she was obviously frightened by this sudden change.
"I don't know, but it doesn't sound like a good thing." Ye Wuhen clenched his fists, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
Rong Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. He looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, have you been here before? Do you know what this sound is?"
The old man shook his head, his expression solemn: "I have never been deep into this tunnel, but I have heard some legends about it. It is said that there are ancient mechanisms and traps hidden deep in the tunnel. Only those who are truly brave and wise can crack their secrets."
Hearing this, Rong Yu became more alert. He knew that this adventure might be more difficult than they imagined. But he also understood that only by moving forward courageously could they find the answers they wanted.
"Everyone be careful, let's keep moving forward." Rong Yu waved his hand and led the way into the depths of the corridor.
As they went deeper, the atmosphere in the tunnel became more and more oppressive. The low roar was getting closer and closer, as if something was stirring in the dark. The three people's heartbeats accelerated and their nerves were tense to the extreme.
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from the end of the corridor, illuminating the entire space. The three of them were startled, then quickened their pace and ran towards the source of the light.
When they came to the source of the light, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. They saw a huge stone chamber in front of them. In the center of the stone chamber was an ancient altar, and on the altar was a glittering treasure box. The low roar came from the treasure box.
"This... is this the treasure?" Tong Luoluo widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
"It looks like it, but...what's that roar?"
Ye Wuhen also had a puzzled look on his face. He stared at the treasure box closely, afraid of missing any details.
Rong Yu frowned, looked at the old man and asked:
"Old man, do you know what this treasure box is? Why does it make such a sound?"
The old man shook his head, his expression solemn:
"I don't know, but I'm sure this treasure box is definitely unusual. You must be careful and don't act rashly."
Hearing this, Rong Yu became even more alert.
At this time, the roar filled the entire cave, and their ears began to get uncomfortable!
Rong Yu stared at the treasure box that kept making a roaring sound, feeling mixed emotions. Is this treasure box a blessing or a curse? He turned to look at Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen, and found that they were also bewildered, and were obviously caught off guard by this sudden change.
"What...should we do?" Tong Luoluo's voice trembled slightly, and she was obviously at a loss.
Ye Wuhen frowned, his eyes wandering between the treasure box and the surrounding stone chambers, trying to find some clues. "This treasure box looks extraordinary, but we have to be careful not to fall into any traps."
Rong Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't panic at this time. Once he panicked, he might miss the opportunity or fall into danger. He looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, you are knowledgeable, do you have any suggestions?"
The old man pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I have never seen this treasure box. But according to legend, the treasure hidden here is not just gold and silver. It may be a heritage, a power, or even a curse. If you want to get it, you must be prepared to bear all the consequences."
Rong Yu was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the treasure box, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. Now that he had come this far, he could not retreat. No matter what was hidden in the treasure box, he had to find out.
"Let's go together and be careful." Rong Yu waved his hand and led the way towards the treasure box.
Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen followed closely behind, and the three of them carefully surrounded the treasure box. The roar became louder and louder, making their eardrums hurt, but they did not dare to relax at all.
Rong Yu stared at the treasure box, trying to find a way to open it. He found some ancient runes engraved on the treasure box, which flashed a faint light, as if telling some secrets.
"These runes... I seem to have seen them somewhere." Rong Yu muttered to himself, trying hard to recall.
"Where is it?" Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen asked at the same time, obviously also interested in these runes.
Rong Yu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "These runes are recorded in the ancient books of my family. They are an ancient seal that is said to be able to seal powerful forces or evil beings."
"Then...what is sealed in this treasure box?" Tong Luoluo widened his eyes with a look of horror.
Ye Wuhen also frowned, obviously feeling uneasy about the unknown existence in the treasure box.
Rong Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't guess at this time, otherwise he would only panic. He looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, do you know the specific meaning of these runes?"
The old man pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I have only heard a little about these runes. It is said that they are related to an ancient curse that can cause people to fall into endless pain and torture. If this is true, the contents of this treasure box are probably not something we can easily touch."
Rong Yu's heart sank when he heard this. He looked at the treasure box, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes. But then, he strengthened his determination. No matter what was hidden in the treasure box, he would find out, no matter how much it cost.
"We can't give up like this." Rong Yu gritted his teeth and decided to try to open the treasure box.
Although Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen were somewhat uneasy, they knew they could not retreat at this time. They stared at Rong Yu closely, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
Rong Yu took a deep breath and slowly reached out to touch the treasure box. As soon as his fingers touched the surface of the treasure box, he felt a strong force surging into his body, almost knocking him to the ground.
"What's going on?" Tong Luoluo and Ye Wuhen exclaimed at the same time and hurried forward to support Rong Yu.
Rong Yu steadied himself and stared at the treasure box. He found that the runes on the treasure box began to flicker, as if communicating with his power. He felt something in his heart, as if he understood something.
"This treasure box... requires a specific power to open." Rong Yu muttered to himself, and began to try to mobilize the power in his body to communicate with the runes on the treasure box.
As time passed, the runes on the treasure box flashed faster and faster, and the roar became louder and louder.
Rong Yu felt his strength was being consumed, but he did not dare to relax at all. He knew that if he gave up at this moment, he might lose the chance to open the treasure box forever.
Finally, with Rong Yu's unremitting efforts, the runes on the treasure box suddenly stopped flashing, and the roaring sound also stopped abruptly. Rong Yu was delighted, knowing that he had successfully established a connection with the treasure box.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened the lid of the treasure box.
Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from the treasure box, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
The three of them were stunned, then their eyes widened and they looked inside the treasure box.
"Empty box?"
Everyone was shocked!
They went through so much hardship and risked their lives to come here, was it just for an empty box?
"This...what's going on?" Tong Luoluo's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she couldn't accept this fact.
Ye Wuhen also frowned, his eyes wandering between the empty box and Rong Yu, trying to find the answer.
