Chapter 36 CHAPTER 35 : Entering An Ancient Dragon's Tomb
The next morning, everyone gathers near the entrance of the cave. Four representatives from among the four nations discussed together and decided to enter the cave today.
" Everyone, time to enter the cave."
Then, they all separated into small groups and entered the cave.
As Haoran had predicted, when they entered the cave, they all were teleported to a strange place. This place seems to be somewhere out of the Ancient Armament World. It is a new world. They saw a yellow sun shining brightly in the sky. Various rounded planets like Jupiter, Saturn could also be seen from the ground. They all have the varying size of a football.
" Wow, I like those floating balls in the sky. They seem to have magical powers." a youth shouted out loudly.
" You want those balls. If you get it yourself, it is yours. " the petite Xiaoli suggested slyly.
" Hey skeleton, don't tease those kids. Look how high those balls were in the sky. Except for the captain's arrow, no one here can reach that high. " fatty Xiaobo corrected him. Then, he looked at Captain Yang.
" Big brother Xiaobo, those were not just some floating balls. They may even be as big as our world or may even be bigger. " Joey corrected him.
"Hahaha, kiddo. Don't joke at me with that face. If they are as you say then, how do they look so small? " Xiaobo asked while laughing loudly.
"Big brother Xiaobo, they were so far away from here so they look smaller when we see them," Joey replied. But the fatty seems to be more confused after he heard that.
" Fatty, shut your mouth. What he says is true." Captain Chao mentioned him.
They all appeared to be inside a forest. The forest had many tall trees with lush green vegetation and bushes. Then, they all travel toward a river stream.
After that they reached a valley, various medicinal herbs were grown over the vast valley. Everyone becomes delighted. A youth suddenly plucked a herb. Unfortunately, when he touched the herb, he screamed loudly, then his body began to burn and incinerated into dust quickly.
" What!" everyone exclaimed with horror.
"Everyone, stop touching anything here. There is a powerful killing array covering this whole valley. But we just walk, nothing will come to us." Haoran warned them all.
Then, everyone avoided touching anything inside the valley. A river passed through the middle of the valley. They all just followed the path downstream of the river. As they continued walking for an hour, they reached a gate with the name tag " The Hundred Valley's Medicine Garden".
Below the name tag was also a warning notice, " Beware of touching any herbs here."
Beyond the valley, they all saw many broken infrastructure buildings, houses, etc. but had ancient feelings from them.
" Everyone, this seems to be a lost civilization. We may find some valuables here. Why don't you all try your luck?" An elder from the Stone nation suggested.
Then everyone moves out quickly especially those youths. They enter those wrecked houses one by one and start searching for treasures.
Joey was the only youth from the Tang nation. None from Joey's group approached there. Also, some elders from the other three nations stay behind. They observed the place carefully.
Cheering voices of youths could be heard afterward.
" I found a level 2 war hammer." A youth shouted out loudly.
" Hahaha, there is a load of lvl 1 and 2 medicine pills."
Later they found various weapons, pills, cultivation skills, etc from those various wrecked houses.
" Hey brat, don't you feel your blood boiling just now?" Long Ai transmitted her voice to him.
" Yap, it is just a faint feeling though. What is it?" Joey asked her telepathically.
" Stop wasting time here. I feel the presence of a strong dragon here. Feel your blood, follow your instinct and find out where it comes from. Also, bring your sister too." she explained and kept quiet again.
"Zi Zi, follow me." He said to his sister. Then, he closed both his eyes, focused all his mind on his boiling blood, and walked toward a direction. Tang Mie and all their team followed him trying to see what he was trying to do, closing his eyes. Behind them, the various elders from the other nations kept following them. They were also curious to find what that kid was trying to do.
Thus, they all passed through the wrecked buildings, houses, and came out of the settlement. They were before a large tomb. Many foreign scriptures were written on the wall of the tomb.
" What the hell! These were written in dragon's scriptures." Joey exclaimed in his mind. Then, he read the whole thing and understood how to go inside the tomb.
" Seniors, we will meet again. Zi Zi followed exactly what I will do now." He first told them and said to his sister.
Joey, then brought out a knife and made a small cut in his hand, and dropped the blood in a symbol just before the tomb. When the drop of blood made contact with the symbol, he disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Seeing that everyone freaked out especially Tang Mie lien. She too made a cut on his hand, then dropped it to the symbol, she too disappeared like Joey.
Then, Captain Chao did the same as those two did, but he remained there, nothing happened. Afterward, they all tried one after another but still failed to enter the tomb.
" Alright, it is their fate that they could enter. We better look for other places." Haoran suggested.
Some of them took their leave following Haoran but some remained there to try various methods to enter the tomb.
" Captain, should we wait for them here?" Fatty Xiaobo asked with some concern.
" No, we are leaving to try our luck in other places. Also, do you remember what he said to us before he entered? He told us not to wait for them. Everyone get ready, we are leaving too." Captain Chao announced.
Then, they moved back to the wrecked building and started to search for treasures.
