Chapter 294: Older than Ancient Times
The valley was supposed to be a river, but it dried up for some reason.
To be precise, Chen Mo and others are now walking on a riverbed.
He and Sui Ke were holding hands, looking like a couple on a trip, but they were not.
Sui Ke grabbed Chen Mo's wrist to feel the direction of his true energy.
Generally speaking, extraordinary people are more averse to other people holding their pulse points. After all, doing so would completely expose the way their true energy flows, which is no different from running naked.
However, Chen Mo naturally believed Sui Ke. He was unaware of the cold and delicate touch on his hands. He just used his understanding of the Chi Mo Sword Sutra to mobilize his true energy.
During this process, the "dangers" around did not stop invading.
The difference from when we first entered the valley was that the initial attackers were mainly physical stone demons, but in the second half, the attackers turned into empty ghosts.
"We generally call these things ghosts, and we name them based on Earth's customs."
Lin Xiangyun, the close friend, also gave some scientific advice, "In fact, it should be the application of evil spirits. This is somewhat similar to the witchcraft of the Yinxu Nation. They should have more information."
But no matter what, the person who arranged these things should not be very strong, so Chen Mo solved all these problems with just one cross slash, and he couldn't even be distracted for a moment.
Soon, the group arrived at the middle of the valley.
"You two can talk later. Let's take a look at the key first." Lin Xiangyun interrupted their discussion on the Chi Mo Sword Sutra.
Chen Mo then took out the key with his other hand, and saw the tetrahedron shaking violently.
Although it was difficult for him to respect Lin Xiangyun as a senior because he was too familiar with him, the facts proved that a senior was a senior. Not only was he very powerful, he also had rich experience in tomb robbing and could determine the location of the treasure with just his naked eyes.
Chen Mo decided to ask his senior for advice: "Teacher Lin, how did you know it was here?"
Lin Xiangyun pointed to the bottom of the cliff across the riverbed and said, "Isn't there a door there?"
"."
Chen Mo turned his head and saw that there was indeed a double stone door on the stone wall, and there was a stele at the door.
The group of people moved closer and found that there was half a stele protruding below the stone gate.
Chen Mo shot several sword energies towards the stone wall, used the characteristics of the Qi shock spirit to blow away the soil that buried the stone tablet, and then directly pulled the thing up, only to see several strange symbols on the tablet.
Ah Fu frowned and said, "There is something ahead."
"What?" Chen Mo looked at him, and suddenly remembered that he still had to hit the bricks, so he hit them twice.
Ah Fu said: "This is the ancient writing of the Red Blood Clan."
"The writing of the Red Blood Clan?"
Lin Xiangyun said disdainfully: "It is just ancient writing, but it has undergone evolution, and part of it has become the current writing of the Red Blood Tribe. It's like the ancient ape turning into different kinds of monkeys."
"I can understand the characters, which means this is the ancient language of the Red Blood Clan!"
Afu protested against this.
But the protest was ineffective and he only received two bricks.
Chen Mo asked, "What does it mean that there is something in front?"
Lin Xiangyun said: "It means that there is something in here. If translated, it is probably a material storage point or something like that. After all, the difference between ancient language and modern language is too big.
Maybe my previous speculation was wrong. This is not someone's grave. It should be a warehouse or something. You wouldn't write on your tombstone that there are treasures inside."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "That's a good thing."
“Why is it a good thing?”
"If it's a grave, there might be some mechanism inside, but if it's a warehouse, there's a high chance that there won't be any. At most, there will be surveillance cameras installed."
Chen Mo made a well-reasoned analysis, "But you see, this is an ancient river channel, but the river has dried up, and the warehouse is exposed. What does this mean?"
He glanced at the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on Huang Liuzhihui. The latter hesitated for a moment and replied, "Does this mean they are raising fish in the warehouse?"
Ah Fu said with disdain: "You are stupid! Who would raise fish in a warehouse? This means that this is a warehouse built by fish."
Chen Mo couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to explain himself: "What I mean is that this warehouse should have been a normal thing, but then the environment changed, it sank into the river, and then the river dried up again."
Lin Xiangyun said: "You mean, the history of the warehouse is older than the original river channel in the valley?"
"That's what I mean." Chen Mo said.
"interesting."
Lin Xiangyun pointed at the floating tetrahedron key and said, "Based on the confidentiality of this item and the disturbance of spiritual energy nearby, I can be sure that there are at most one or two low-grade spiritual tools in the warehouse. However, if it was produced very old, it may be very powerful."
Chen Mo said: "The older things are, the stronger they are?"
Lin Xiangyun said: "This involves some theories of underworld archaeology. I have forgotten what it is called, but before a certain point in time, you can assume that the alien races at that time were very strong, with more prosperous manufacturing capabilities and civilizations.
After that earlier time, everything seemed to have fallen into decline. Powerful spiritual weapons could no longer be manufactured, and powerful skills disappeared. Even we cannot crack them now."
Compared with human history, the "ancient times" of the underworld are obviously a much more ancient period, so long ago that many things have been completely forgotten, making them incomprehensible.
Chen Mo asked: "What is that time point?"
"I don't know, you can ask Professor Cui."
Lin Xiangyun said nonchalantly, "We are rough guys who only care about fighting and killing. Let the intellectuals do the archaeology and research."
Chen Mo was speechless and could only say, "Let's go in and take a look first."
Lin Xiangyun said confidently: "Well, this is easy. See the groove in the middle? Put the key in and the door will open naturally."
Chen Mo did as he was told.
Click.
The tetrahedron was inserted into it perfectly.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Nothing happened.
"Teacher Lin, what should we do if it's not opened?" Chen Mo asked a little embarrassedly.
"cough."
Lin Xiangyun said, “Generally speaking, doors are opened with keys, and if the key fails, you have to use violence to break in.
However, don’t be fooled by the fact that the door of this warehouse looks like an ordinary stone. It is actually a special kind of Thousand Essence Stone from the Nether Abyss. It is quite difficult to break it.”
Chen Mo's face was solemn: "What should we do? We can't go back empty-handed."
Lin Xiangyun said: "I am talking about the general situation. In fact, as long as I am here."
After saying that, he slapped the door.
boom! ! !
A strong sword force was like a battering ram, smashing the stone door of the warehouse.
".As long as I'm here, a door can't stop me at all."
Chen Mo was speechless: "Then why did you ask me to open the door with the key!"
"I just wanted to let you experience it, but you blame me." Lin Xiangyun said.
The two of them bickered as they walked into the door one after another.
"Huang Liu, the light."
Following Lin Xiangyun's instructions, Huang Liu took out a light of unknown light from the pocket of the dog's vest and illuminated the warehouse.
