384: Which Way Out? (Drafted 2/6)

The group moved forward after dividing everything up.

“How strange! Do you guys think the place is cleaner?” A somewhat short guy commented.
He looked left and right suspiciously as he spoke.
He was trying to see if he was hallucinating.
The place was definitely full of dust and cobwebs when they entered.
Where did all of it go? Wasn’t the place cleaner?

“Yeah, I feel the same way.” The speaker reached out and swiped his hand across the ground, and sure enough, it came away clean.
There wasn’t a speck of dust! Was it really a sealed tomb, untrodden for ten thousand years?

“No.
There’s definitely something wrong with this place.
We’re in danger.
Everyone be careful!”

“Yeah, that makes sense.
Everyone, take care with your surroundings!” nodded someone seriously.

Feng Wu bit her lip and remained silent as she watched the maids diligently clean the tomb.

The spirits rolled their eyes.
These guys thought too much!

The maids kept working, making everything spotless.

The continually clean tomb frightened the adventurers.
The passage was just unbelievably clean! They had to be on guard!

Ten minutes later and still nothing happened, but no one dared relax, fearing they would die the moment they did.
They came upon a stone room twenty minutes later.
Try as they might, they couldn’t budge the door.

“This is Dragon Breaking stone.
Once sealed, it can’t be unsealed.
Maybe the sea god’s body is inside?”

“No way the main tomb would be that easy to find.”

“I agree.
Think about it, aside from the two corpses we encountered, there was just the cliff.
There weren’t any other dangers.
Do you think the main burial room for someone like the sea god would be that easy to get to?”

The calm analysis made sense.
No matter how you looked at it, it was too easy.

“I don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but there were a lot of people who entered the sea god’s tomb.
Why are we the only ones here? Where did everyone else go?” This time it was the female magician who spoke up.
It was the third time she voluntarily voiced an opinion.
She gave off the impression of a strong quiet beauty, but because she rarely spoke, it was easy to forget she was there.
When she did speak, it was insightful and straight to the heart of the matter.

Of course she wasn’t the only one who noticed.
It was just that everyone had been so anxious to get to the treasure room, they hadn’t thought much of it.
In fact, the less people there were around them, the better their odds of getting more treasures for themselves.

“I think it’s weird too.
We’ve been here for so long, but we haven’t seen anyone else.
Aren’t we in the same place?”

Most people thought along the same lines.
They had originally assumed everyone was in the same place, just different positions on the map.
Perhaps they would meet if they kept moving, but from the first to the second level, they hadn’t met anyone else outside their relatively small group.

“Maybe this place is really big.
I suspect where ever we are, it’s not the real sea god’s tomb.
This is probably another trial space.
The sea god probably wants us to pass more of the trials he left behind, and only those who pass will get the inheritance, while the losers will likely die.
Until all the trials are passed, we’re trapped here.”

Zo looked at the woman in surprise.
He had to admit, she was smart.
She didn’t know about the tombs of human kings inside, but she was able to deduce something was wrong.

Her reasoning was all wrong, but despite not knowing the circumstances, she was still able to guess that the secret to the tomb was that it was a multidimensional space.

Except for Feng Wu and Zo, everyone was dismayed upon hearing her words.
Most of them felt what she said was true.

Of course there were those who stubbornly refused to believe it.
They believed their current location was the area of the sea god’s burial room.
As for all those others who weren’t there, well 80% died in the corridor they first met.

These guys were brainless, but being able to survive as long as they had, they certainly weren’t weak.

“This place is inaccessible.
Don’t tell me we have to find some other path forward!”

“Look for what? There is no other path to take.
Even if this place isn’t the sea god’s burial room, the key for progressing to the next level has to be inside.” The man who spoke had a gloomy expression as he banged the door vigorously.

They finally found the chamber they thought was the sea god’s burial room only to realize it probably wasn’t it.
But the biggest issue was the sealing material used for the chamber.
Being broken dragon stone meant they wouldn’t be able to enter it using the usual means.

“Let’s look around.
Maybe there’s a switch or something.”

It was a good idea.
Unwilling to give up, they banged all over the walls hoping to find some kind of mechanism that would open the stone doorway.

“Is there really a mechanism?” Feng Wu whispered to the king.

“No.” The king replied back with certainty.

To keep thieving tomb raiders out, the king’s trusted aides had put down the Dragon Breaking stone from the inside.
Once laid out, the door wasn’t likely to be opened again.

The two materials, the door and the Dragon Breaking stone, were very difficult to break.
The door was hefty, weighing over a thousand catties, while the Dragon Breaking stone was made out of very unusual extraterrestrial sand and ten-thousand-year-old cold stone.
Unless a holy-level artifact was used, the door was unlikely to break.

“Don’t worry Xiao Wu, the way out is definitely not through His Highness’s room.
If there is an exit, there’s only one place it can be.”
