Chapter 807 - Her suspicions
“You Yue!”
“Junior Brother!”
Everyone was flustered when they saw her fall. Ximen Feng almost hopped down himself, but it was a good thing that Kong Xiang Yi stopped him.
“You can’t fly. It would be the same if you went down! You should first take a look and see if those flying beasts are able to.”
“I’m okay.”Sima You Yue’s voice carried on from below before everyone finally calmed down.
“Swish- Swish-”
They heard the sound of wings flapping, and it seemed like they were unable to fly in the sky but the bird clan still could.
Sima You Yue sat on Halcyon’s back and slowly rose up from the depths, landing on the cliff on the other side.
“You Yue, are you okay?” Kong Xiang Yi asked.
“I’m fine. I called Halcyon out before I reached the bottom.” Sima You Yue said.
“It’s good that you’re fine. You scared us just now.” Han Miao Shuang said, “It’s a good thing that flying beasts can still fly. Otherwise, you would die falling into this kind of bottomless pit.”
“It was fine when I walked on it, so how did it break when Junior Brother stepped on it?” Su Xiao Xiao asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know either.” Sima You Yue looked at where the bridge used to be, saying, “The bridge has already fallen. It could be because you guys were its limit, so it broke when I stepped on it.”
“Really?”
Everyone felt that something was off, but they couldn’t put their finger on it so they dropped it.
“Let’s continue walking in.’ Jiang Jun Zhe saw that Sima You Yue didn’t have much to say, so he told everyone.
Everyone turned their attention to the door behind them.
“This door seems ordinary, but I wonder if it will actually open in the same way as other kinds of panel doors.”
“Let me try.” Su Xiao Xiao said.
“Xiao Xiao, don’t think that, just because you’ve grown to be so big, that you’ll be strong too.’ Han Miao Shuang said, “You should save your little bit of strength for later.”
“I’m stronger than you.” Su Xiao Xiao retorted.
“I know you are.” Han Miao Shuang didn’t contest this, “But I have self awareness and didn’t think of opening the door, right?”
Su Xiao xiao glared hatefully at her, asking, “Then now what?”
“Based on all the experiences I have accumulated…” Han Miao Shuang touched her chin, “There is definitely some kind of treasure in here. However, no matter how you spin it, there isn’t any big surprise that this cemetery can give us. I’m guessing that there must be a way to open this door.”.
“The fact that this door is able to stay standing for such a long time, means that it’s basic structure must be excellent.” Ximen Feng said, “That’s why the best open should be to find a way to go in.”
“Xiang Yi, come and try it.” Sima You Yue said, “it shouldn’t be too hard for you right?”
Kong Xiang Yi didn’t deny it, “I can only promise that I’ll try my best. It won’t definitely work.”
“You’ve always done more research into spirit tools, so you should be the most capable for things like this.” Sima You Yue said, “Go ahead. I believe in you.”
Kong Xiang Yi found these words familiar. It felt like they had often said these things to her, to tell her to properly research the array. Who would’ve thought that she would return these words to her.
Gloomy and depressed, she still went to examine that door. Kong Xiang Yi was part of a big power that specialises in spirit tools. These kinds of ancient artefacts that were left behind, were the most interesting to her.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com
Sima You Yue watched as Kong Xiang Yi touched the door here and there and examined it closely. Her focused state made her look rather attractive.
Han Miao Shuang came up beside her, saying, “Will she be able to handle it?”
“Should be.” Sima You Yue said, “I see dear Feng looking at her with such belief, so it should be fine. we’ll just wait and see. If she can’t, I think we should still be able to go in.”
After speaking, she glanced over at Jiang Jun Zhe. He was already leaning on Xiao Xiao, fast asleep.
After more than half of the day had passed, and everyone was about to fall asleep, Kong Xiang Yi’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Done! I know how to open this door!”
Sima You Yue had been sitting down resting, and opened her eyes when she heard what she said. At the same time, the others opened their eyes as well.
“You found a way?” Han Miao Shuang got up from the found, saying a little excitedly.
“Mmm hmm!”
Kong Xiang Yi looked excited too. Once everyone had woke up, she got Ximen Feng’s help to pour in spirit energy from the four corners of the door, then, she came to the middle and turned the lock and mechanism clockwise and anticlockwise a few times. The spirit energy in the four corners started to move along the notches and grooves of the door, and the middle turning plate started to turn as well, releasing ka-cha ka-cha sounds.
Everyone watched that door with bated breaths, and after the turning plate in the middle had turned a few hundred rounds, there was a click sound, which seemed to sound like it was unlocked.
“It’s done.” Kong Xiang Yi walked over again and got Ximen Feng’s help. They each pushed one side of it, slowly opening the door.
Sima You Yue and the others watched as the crack got bigger and bigger, and they prepared to attack at any time. However, there was nothing.
“Whoa-”
The door had been completely opened and they saw a single giant stone house behind it, surrounded by a few small houses. Each stone house was filled with items, most of which were pearls, jewels and the like. There were also a few spirit crystals. However, they had already lost their luster and were now completely just useless stones.
Everyone looked at those items with pity. If it were not for the Qi spirit that had absorbed all the spirit energy from here, if we distributed these treasures, any single one of the houses here would give us a fortune!
“A pity! A real pity!” Han Miao Shuang looked at these items and kept lamenting.
Sima You Yue couldn’t stop sighing either. How good it would be if the Qi spirit wasn’t there!
She initially thought she could pick up some scraps, but she was sure now that there was totally nothing here she could salvage. This could be considered as a waste of her time.
“Let’s head inside the cemetery to take a look.” Jiang Jun Zhe and Xiao Xiao Xiao walked around and said to Sima You Yue and the others, when they saw that there was nothing useful at all.
Han Miao Shuang waved her hands dispiritedly, saying, “All the things here are useless. What’s the point of going to the inner cemetery? Who knows, there might even be something waiting for us inside!”
Jiang Jun Zhe glanced at Sima You Yue asking, “Do you feel the same?”
“This cemetery can be considered as a dead one. There’s no living thing here, and no treasures. Even if we continue walking, we won’t be able to find anything.” Sima You Yue shrugged.
She looked at Jiang Jun Zhe and saw his normally apathetic eyes flash with an unfamiliar zeal. She didn’t know why, but she felt that something was off. However, she couldn’t put her finger on it or say what it was.
