C160 Entering the Ancient Tomb
C160 Entering the Ancient Tomb
Lu Yang had no understanding about the ancient tomb, so he could only stand behind Xiao Ling and watch.
Very quickly, Little Ling dug half a meter deep into the bottom of the cactus with her tiny hands. After that, a switch made of white ash stone appeared.
"Little Ling, is this the way to the ancient tomb's switch?" Lu Yang also noticed the stone switch, and couldn't help but to ask out of curiosity.
"Hehe, you'll know soon, big brother." Xiao Ling did not answer Lu Yang directly, but smiled evilly and said.
Xiao Ling's mischievous smile made Lu Yang speechless. Could it be that opening the ancient tomb would cause the world to turn upside down?
Without thinking too much, Lu Yang only watched as Xiao Ling quickly pressed down on the stone switch, causing a shocking scene to occur.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The moment Ling Ling pressed the switch, a loud noise came from underground.
"Puff puff puff …" Originally, there was only a loud noise, but not long after, the place where Lu Yang stood felt a strong tremor, and the ground or the sandy surface began to shake violently.
Following that, the golden sand started to sink. It was as if there was a huge crater underneath, swallowing all the tons of sand. Lu Yang protected Xiao Ling in his arms so that she wouldn't be injured, and quickly summoned the flying War Pet. Riding on the War Pet's body, he ordered it to rise into the sky.
Looking at the continuously sinking sand, Lu Yang hurriedly asked: "Xiao Ling, don't tell me if we have to jump into the ancient tomb, is the ancient tomb's entrance located underground?"
Seeing Lu Yang's nervous expression, Xiao Ling could not help but burst out laughing, and continued: "Right, as long as we follow that pile of sand, we will be able to enter the ancient tomb. Big brother, how can you fly in the sky, you are too shameless, I originally wanted to tease you to scare you, who would have known that you could actually summon your pet to fly."
He had originally thought that the other party would fall into the ancient tomb with him, but who would have thought that the other party would actually be able to fly?
Hearing that, Lu Yang did not know whether to laugh or cry, so it turned out that Xiao Ling was toying with him, and there was nothing wrong with the pile of sand below, thus Lu Yang kept the War Pet, and quickly brought Xiao Ling down.
"Haha, so fun!" Not only was she not scared, but she felt that it was very funny. It seemed that she had experienced it a few times before, otherwise she wouldn't have felt the excitement.
But Lu Yang was different. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, if not for Little Ling laughing so happily in his arms, he would have been worried that there would be a trap waiting for him down there. However, seeing that Xiao Ling was not worried at all, he calmed down and looked at the mischievous Xiao Ling with a face of speechlessness.
"Whooosh." Very quickly, the two of them fell into the ancient tomb, Lu Yang's feet directly sank into the sand from before.
The good thing was that the sand was thick, so the two's falling momentum was slowed down, and they continued to sink into the sand, causing Lu Yang's body to tremble. Using brute force, he grabbed onto Xiao Ling and struggled out of the sand.
"Haha, so fun! Little Ling likes it the most!"
Little Ling was just like this, with such a mischievous look on his face, Lu Yang was speechless for a moment. He was afraid that he might encounter some dangers here, but he was actually having fun.
After looking at Xiao Ling speechlessly for a while, Lu Yang shifted his gaze to his surroundings.
At this time, Lu Yang's surroundings were completely pitch-black. Other than the sunlight shining in from the area where he had landed, the rest of his surroundings were completely devoid of sunlight.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just as Lu Yang was looking around, the ancient tomb let out another series of explosions, following that, the ancient tomb's door which was a few tens of metres above the head of the tomb closed with a loud bang, the surroundings became completely dark, and no one could see his five fingers.
Helpless, Lu Yang could only take out a light tool to dispel the darkness in his surroundings. Xiao Ling, who was at the side, saw the light emitting from the tool in Lu Yang's hand and said excitedly: "Haha, my grandfather also has a light item like this. In the past, grandfather also used this to illuminate his surroundings, big brother actually has it too."
Hearing that, Lu Yang smiled, and nodded: "Alright, Xiao Ling, I will follow the road ahead. Lead the way, I need to get familiar with the environment inside the ancient tomb as soon as possible."
"Mmm mmm mmm, mmm, big brother, follow me."
Little Ling agreed and then led the way forward.
As the surrounding environment brightened, one could see that in front of Lu Yang and Xiao Ling was a wall dozens of meters tall made of dark black stone. Below it were seven different colored doors, from left to right of each of them were red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, cyan, blue, and purple.
There were seven different colored doors, and behind each door, there seemed to be different paths. The destinations were also different, this was what Lu Yang found out from Little Ling after he followed her into the orange colored door.
Of these seven different doors, only one led to the main hall of the ancient tomb, and only the main hall had the most valuable things from the ancient tomb, and according to the words passed down within the Ancient Tomb Clan Clan, there were powerful Ancient Tomb Spirit s there, and whoever could obtain the approval of the Ancient Tomb Spirit could obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Tomb Spirit.
The person who obtains the Ancient Tomb Clan passed down in the Ancient Tomb Spirit will receive an unprecedented power.
However, up till now, no one had obtained the inheritance because of the Ancient Tomb Spirit's approval, and today, Ancient Tomb Clan was constantly weakening because no one had obtained the inheritance so their Ancient Tomb Clan had actually weakened to the point where only Little Ling and his grandfather were left.
From what Xiao Ling said, her grandfather said that she was their Ancient Tomb Clan's last hope. If Xiao Ling was also unable to obtain the Ancient Tomb Spirit's inheritance, then their Ancient Tomb Clan would truly be on the verge of destruction.
When Lu Yang heard Xiao Ling talk about Ancient Tomb Clan, and the gradual decline of the old tomb family, Lu Yang could not help but frown, as if he did not approve of Ancient Tomb Clan's way of speaking, which meant that the clan members must inherit the Ancient Tomb Spirit's inheritance.
Could it be that the countless experts on the continent relied on legacies to cultivate up to the peak? Could it be that it was impossible to become an expert without inheriting knowledge? He was extremely disapproving of this, but he didn't say it out loud because Xiao Ling was still so young, so it was useless to tell her about it.
At this moment, Lu Yang had already faintly guessed the reason behind the true decline of the Ancient Tomb Clan. It was because they were too concerned about the inheritance of the Ancient Tomb Spirit, not only did they not obtain the inheritance, they had instead stagnated on the path of cultivation, and thought that obtaining the inheritance was everything, and there was no meaning in not being able to cultivate it. This was Lu Yang's analysis of the true decline of the Ancient Tomb Clan, and as for right and wrong, no one knew.
After following behind Xiao Ling Lu Yang, Lu Yang entered the orange colored door, and entered into a narrow stone path. Xiao Ling was in the front leading the way while Lu Yang followed behind, afraid that the other party would encounter some sort of danger, which he could take care of.
The walls on both sides of the stone path were made of a type of orange colored stone that couldn't even be named, in short, it was extremely beautiful. Especially under Lu Yang's illumination, the stone walls on both sides of the stone road looked especially shiny.
Other than its ornamental appearance, the stone wall was also made of extremely hard stone. Lu Yang held the illumination device in one hand and placed his other hand on the stone wall to the side to feel the quality of the orange stone wall. He then used a bit of strength, but the stone wall did not actually shake at all.
Lu Yang slammed the stone wall at the side, causing all of the power to sink into the ocean like stone. This made Lu Yang feel that it was a little strange, this wall was just too hard, you have to know how terrifying his current strength was, it was actually difficult to move it at all.
However, although it was strange, Lu Yang still followed behind Xiao Ling, and continued to advance along the dark and narrow stone path.
Even after walking for about ten minutes, he still could not reach the end of the stone path, and had to turn left and right many times. Furthermore, this stone path did not go the entire way, in the ten minutes Lu Yang had followed Xiao Ling, there were already several forks in the stone path. If it wasn't for Xiao Ling remembering the path and bringing Lu Yang along, Lu Yang would probably have had to suffer a lot to find the correct path.
After walking for a long time through this complicated stone passage, Lu Yang and Little Ling finally arrived at the end of the stone passage, which was also the location of the great hall at the center of the ancient tomb.
Arriving at the main hall of the ancient tomb, Lu Yang raised the lighting in his hands high up, and the originally incomparably dark hall immediately became much brighter, and under the light's illumination, Lu Yang discovered that the hall was abnormally wide and quiet to the point where it was somewhat scary.
"Big brother, this is the main hall of the ancient tomb. I heard grandfather say that the inheritance of our Ancient Tomb Clan was carried out here, as for the specific situation, I'm not too sure either."
"Right, big brother, what are we going to do next?"
Xiao Ling looked at Lu Yang curiously with his watery eyes.
"Little Ling, are you afraid of the dark?" Lu Yang asked as he reached out a hand to stroke Xiao Ling's head.
"Mhmm, Ling is scared of the dark. Big brother, don't let Ling stay here by herself. Ling will be scared."
Xiao Ling was 1.5m tall, but she was still a girl who was ten years old. Naturally, she would be afraid of the dark, this was normal, Lu Yang did not find it strange.
"Alright, Little Ling, I will make this great hall light up so that you won't feel afraid at all. Watch carefully." After he finished speaking, Lu Yang took out a few more illumination tools from his storage ring. They looked like luminous pearls, but were only as big as apples.
