Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 580 - 578 Mysterious Spirit Crystals_1
White Feather, not to be outdone, raised her Dual Guns. Two white dragons descended haughtily and landed directly upon the Stone Gate. Instantly, as their combined attack struck, the cracks on the Stone Gate widened and spread across its entirety, like a spiderweb.
"CRACK!" With a tremendous noise, the Stone Gate shattered into pieces of rubble. Everyone's eyes lit up, especially Luo Tianhong, who was so overjoyed she jumped.
Wang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they had indeed found the right method. Then, the group followed Wang Zhan and began to Xu Xu walk inside.
However, to everyone's surprise, they had initially thought there would be a huge treasure here. But after a careful look, they realized the space inside was very small; they could see everything at a glance.
"What's going on? Did we come to the wrong place?" Luo Tianhong's eyes widened and she clenched her fists, then began searching the small space. According to the information she had, there should definitely be some treasure here! No, to be precise, there should be Spirit Crystals! But now, where were any Spirit Crystals? Clearly, the information was somewhat inaccurate.
Xiang Tian, at the side, shook his head and said, "I knew it. How could there really be Spirit Crystals here?"
"You ignorant thing! Just because you haven't seen something, does that mean it doesn't exist in this world?" Although Xiang Tian wanted to argue with Luo Tianhong, seeing the serious expressions on Wang Zhan and White Feather's faces, the two of them said no more.
The next second, the ground beneath them began to tremble. Then, a huge set of iron chains slowly descended from above their heads.
Wang Zhan and the others quickly retreated. Incredibly, hanging from the iron chains was a massive stone coffin, which then crashed onto the exact spot they had just been standing.
Everyone, their hearts still pounding with lingering fear, let out a sigh of relief. If not for Wang Zhan and White Feather's quick reflexes, the four of them would have been smashed into meat paste by that stone coffin.
"What is this thing?" Luo Tianhong immediately stepped forward. Then, her finger was accidentally cut by the carvings on the coffin, and a drop of blood dripped into it.
Before anyone could react, the coffin began to shake. Wang Zhan quickly pulled the others back. Suddenly, with a loud BANG, the coffin burst open! The resulting energy fluctuations were even more powerful than the energy fluctuations from the runes at the entrance gate!
"Not good, we might have fallen into a trap! Retreat quickly!" Wang Zhan's expression changed drastically. Without a second thought, he pulled everyone and ran towards the far end. However, when they reached the end, they realized they had come from above. Descending had been simple, but going back up was not an easy task, at least not something they could accomplish in a short time.
Realizing this, everyone's expression became much uglier, especially Luo Tianhong, on whose forehead beads of cold sweat had even appeared.
"Damn it, there's still something else!" Xiang Tian, who was at the back, turned his head to look. Not far away, a large figure could be seen. It turned out that after the coffin shattered, a figure had Xu Xu walked out from it, but it remained consistently in a seated meditative posture.
"This shouldn't be a spirit body!" Seeing that the person from the coffin wasn't pursuing them, Wang Zhan also Xu Xu turned around and then approached the figure.
"Then what on earth is this? Could there be a mechanism here that we haven't found?" Xiang Tian then spoke up, looking curiously at the figure before them.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the person, but the person remained sitting with eyes closed, meditating on the spot, making it impossible to gauge their depth.
"Is this fellow alive or dead? What exactly is going on here?" White Feather at the side suddenly spoke, "I think this person is either undead, or perhaps someone who was sealed here due to some situation."
"Sealed?"
"Yes, sealed!" White Feather immediately began to explain. She said, "Since we can seal those powerful beasts or demonic beasts, the other side naturally also has the ability to seal our human experts. Since this person before us could set up such powerful formation techniques and have those strange runes guard this place, it proves this person is extraordinary. It's highly probable that they were suppressed here by a joint effort of beasts and demonic beasts."
"So, you mean to say there are no Spirit Crystals here, and we came all this way for nothing?" Luo Tianhong's expression instantly turned ugly. After all, if they had truly made a wasted trip, why bother wasting so much time? Thinking about it now was even somewhat infuriating!
"I'm telling you, can you stop thinking about Spirit Crystals for a moment?" Xiang Tian said impatiently, clearly somewhat displeased. "Have you considered that if this person loses their sanity, it will be difficult for us to even escape? If they decide to attack us, what then?" After all, in Luo Tianhong's eyes, it seemed Spirit Crystals were always more important than her own life or their lives.
"I said, are you annoying or not?" Luo Tianhong looked at Xiang Tian impatiently. "Ever since we came in, you've been criticizing me. Am I talking to you? Are we very familiar?" Then, she clenched her small fist and said angrily, "I'm in a bad mood right now. You'd better not provoke me, or believe it or not, I'll flatten you!"
"Hmph, then come on!" Xiang Tian was no pushover either. He had tolerated Luo Tianhong for a very long time. Now that Luo Tianhong dared to speak to him this way, how could he easily let her off?
Wang Zhan's expression instantly turned grim. He glared at them both and sternly shouted, "Both of you, shut up! Save me some trouble, okay?"
What time was it now, yet the two of them were still bickering back and forth like children. It was truly ridiculous.
Since Wang Zhan had spoken, although Luo Tianhong and Xiang Tian couldn't stand each other, they didn't make a move. They each stood to one side, ignoring the other. Wang Zhan then once again walked towards the figure. White Feather quickly moved to his side and placed a hand on Wang Zhan's shoulder. "Don't go over yet. We still don't know the situation. I think we should leave first."
Just as this figure had appeared, White Feather had felt powerful energy fluctuations swirling around her. Now it seemed highly likely that it was directly related to this person before them. Thinking of this, White Feather also gradually became tense.
"Are we really going to leave just like this?" Wang Zhan frowned slightly, looking at the jade pendant in his hand, now covered by layers of runes. The face of Old Mao flashed through his mind. After all, how could the thing Old Mao went through so much trouble to leave behind be an ordinary item?
Thinking this, Wang Zhan clenched the jade pendant again and then said, "No matter what, since we're already here, we should still investigate this place."
"This..." Clearly, White Feather, being cautious by nature, was still somewhat worried.
Luo Tianhong, on the side, clapped her hands excitedly. "I think this is a good idea! After all, we're already here. Are we really going to return empty-handed?"
Xiang Tian, however, rolled his eyes at her. He and Luo Tianhong were always standing behind Wang Zhan and White Feather. White Feather and Wang Zhan had the qualifications to say such things; only he and Luo Tianhong did not.
After hesitating for a good while, Wang Zhan finally looked at White Feather and said, "How about this: we'll act in two pairs. You take Xiang Tian and go out first. Luo Tianhong and I will stay here and see what the situation is."
White Feather nodded heavily. After all, the cave entrance was indeed too small. If a sudden situation truly occurred, it would be impossible for all four of them to ascend together. Naturally, there would need to be an order, and in that case, those at the back would encounter even greater trouble. So, after careful consideration, it was still better to act separately.
After White Feather and Xiang Tian left, Luo Tianhong then impatiently glanced in the direction they had departed and said irritably, "Big Brother, why do you team up with them? Look at those two, neither of them is loyal. But that's good too; after all, everything here will belong to us now."
Wang Zhan didn't speak, merely glanced at Luo Tianhong beside him. He always had a feeling, as if Luo Tianhong was extremely familiar with this place.
"Big Brother, what do you mean by looking at me like that?" Luo Tianhong immediately put on an innocent expression, then shrugged, sighed, and continued, "You don't think I'm like them, also wanting to plot against you, do you? Big Brother, Heaven and Earth are my witness! If I really wanted to plot against you, you would have died countless times already. Why would I need to wait this long?"
"I don't have time to bicker with you here. I only want to know one thing: are you familiar with the layout of this place, or do you know some secrets?" Wang Zhan stared at Luo Tianhong, his gaze filled with intensity.
Luo Tianhong frowned slightly, her fingers twisting together restlessly. After a good while, she finally said, "Alright, alright. Anyway, since it's just the two of us here now, and I can't hide it from you, then I won't conceal anything from you either."
As she spoke, Luo Tianhong walked over to the meditating person. Then, she directly tapped the crown of the person's head. Instantly, a Golden Light shot straight down.
Luo Tianhong quickly rose, grabbed the Golden Light, and then pressed it towards her Dantian.
Witnessing this wondrous scene before him, Wang Zhan was instantly dumbfounded. Clearly, even he had never seen such a bizarre spectacle.
After a flash of Golden Light, the Golden Light in Luo Tianhong's hand vanished.
"What did you just do?" As Wang Zhan spoke, he had already walked to Luo Tianhong's side. Before Luo Tianhong could reply, the stranger who had just been sitting upright before them instantly turned to fine powder and scattered into the dust.
