Lord Bai Ze had a reputation for being wise and cunning. The inheritance he set would by no means be simple.
After entering the hall, everyone scattered in all directions to look for potential clues.
Su Luo tried to use her senses.
"How is it?" Senior Brother Zhang Wang, who had been following her, asked.Su Luo shook her head slightly: "I didn’t sense anything."
Senior Brother Zhang Wang frowned. What if these were not Lord Bai Ze's ruins? Otherwise, how could…
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly piped up: "Here it is!"
It was Li Luoming.
Su Luo and Senior Brother Zhang Wang looked at each other and rushed towards the source of the sound.
…Just in time to see a chagrined Li Luoming covering his own mouth!
Yes, Li Luoming felt instant regret!It was all on him for being too overjoyed! After finding the passage, he couldn't help but shout in surprise. He wanted to show off and finally win one over Su Luo.
However, after shouting out, he regretted it!
His shout had drawn everyone over, which meant that there was no way for him to enjoy Lord Bai Ze's inheritance alone.
"I found it first!" Li Luoming jumped out to claim it.
No one paid attention to him. They all dashed into the tunnel like the wind.
The tunnel was not big, only two people could pass through it side by side. It was also very dark, rendering them unable to even see their own five fingers in front of them. Even a night pearl would be of no use.
Su Luo tried to light up a small fireball but found that even that could not light up.
How bizarre…
An eerie cold wind blew in front of the group, making their hair stand on end.
Surrounded by complete darkness, they were essentially blind.
Occasionally, it sounded like a heavy object was being dragged in the distance. In the mostly silent and pitch-black tunnel, it only made it more creepy.
People were generally fearful of the unknown.
Because in facing the unknown, people tended to imagine countless possibilities and ultimately frightened themselves with their own thoughts.
Senior Brother Zhang Wang patted Su Luo's slender shoulder and whispered, "Don't be afraid. We will reach the end soon."
Su Luo hummed. In fact, she was not afraid. Instead, her heart had a vague trace of excitement.
They spent two full hours walking in the dark tunnel before a faint bright light came from ahead.
Su Luo felt the breath of Li Luoming behind her become lighter as if he was sighing in relief.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a dark doorway.
The door was sealed shut and could not be pushed open.
Even with the combined strength of all of them, they could not budge it in the slightest.
"What should we do?" Everyone shared glances.
The road ahead was closed; should they retreat?
But what could they do afterward? If they wanted to get the inheritance of Lord Bai Ze, what else could they do but go forward? Withdrawing would mean giving up.
"Could it be that…" Su Luo studied the polished door panel carefully.
It was as clean and shiny as a mirror, with nothing but a vast expanse of white.
Was there a hidden text on it?
Su Luo was about to take out the blue liquid potion from her spatial bag, but someone else got to it first.
Li Luoming's hand touched the door panel inch by inch. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with surprise!
"Hidden text. There must be hidden text!" Li Luoming pulled out a bottle of blue potion from his small storage pouch, stained a brush with the contents, and delicately applied it to the white door panel.
"Huh—"
Where the blue potion was applied, hidden words jumped out one after another.
