Chapter 11 The Mystery of the Treasure

The black corridor was like the entrance to hell, and the faintly glowing runes in it were like ghosts wandering in the air. It made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, but they occupied all the positions in their vision, leaving people with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape. The breeze that came out of nowhere, with a rustling sound, surrounded them from all directions, like a monster hidden in the darkness, ready to pounce at any time. Everything around them was the same, but since Zhou He's weird scene, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling felt like they were trapped in a nightmare.

However, they were too tired and exhausted. All they could do was sit there back to back to let their overdrawn bodies and nerves recover.

After a long time, Luo Ling suddenly remembered something, stood up and squatted in front of Xiao Chen and asked: "That white light actually shone a lot on you, how do you feel?"

Xiao Chen leaned close to the fluorescence of the runes on the wall, looked at his hands over and over, and said: "The light was like a needle prick, I remember that my upper body and arms were in great pain at the time, but now I don't seem to have any obvious feelings, maybe because my body was outside the light at the time?"

"If you are going to become a lunatic, you'd better inform me in advance."

"Let you escape?"

"No." She smiled, stood up, walked to the door leading to the hall, and looked at the stone statue from a distance, "If you want to become a monster too. My best way is probably to worship the stone statue right away, let it emit another white light, and let me become like you."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you should turn around and run."

"What if we can't get out? I don't want to face a monster before starving to death. It might be better to turn myself into the same kind." Luo Ling turned around and watched Xiao Chen say this calmly. Xiao Chen looked straight into her bright eyes, and suddenly he had an impulse. He thought that if he turned into a monster and couldn't control himself from hurting the girl in front of him, he might as well crash his head into the stone wall and die.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if something happens, I can hold on. Moreover, although that kind of power is scary, it may not be uncontrollable." Xiao Chen pointed to his head, "Go ask the school, who doesn't say that I, Xiao Chen, can be trusted."

"I never need to rely on anyone to survive." Luo Ling smiled slightly, "The only person I can rely on is myself."

This sentence made Xiao Chen vaguely feel a kind of confidence with a little sadness. He wanted to say something to express his attitude, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in the distance.

Rustle...Rustle...

Both of them saw that the other's face was tense because of nervousness.

Rustle...Rustle...The footsteps were not fast and light, but they hit their hearts like drumsticks. In this place where a strange incident just happened, the sound came from the unknown darkness. No matter what it was, it made people feel afraid.

"Zhou He?" Luo Ling said in Xiao Chen's ear in a very soft voice.

"Definitely not. If it was a teleportation array, there would be no need to pass it back and forth in this underground palace, right?" Xiao Chen whispered, "Whatever it is, let's hide first."

He quickly pulled Luo Ling to hide in a corner. He stuck to the wall, using his ears to distinguish the sounds in the distance, holding the Berserker's throwing axe in his hand. The footsteps were still walking at the same rhythm, getting closer and closer. Gradually, a shadow rose from the opposite stone wall, swaying back and forth with the footsteps, swaying, and twisting at various strange angles.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and the shadow stopped there. Then the shadow swayed, as if looking around.

Xiao Chen was about to stick his head out to look around. Suddenly, he found that his right arm was pulled, and it was a little painful. He turned his head and saw that Luo Ling was pinching his arm tightly, and her nails were digging into the flesh. Why is this girl getting more and more timid? He gently patted her hand, and Luo Ling came to her senses. She looked at him a little embarrassed and let go of her hand.

Just then, a young man shouted from outside: "Is anyone there?" It was standard Mandarin. Xiao Chen and Luo Ling looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Chen quietly looked out, but immediately gasped. Luo Ling also leaned out to look. The scene in front of her made her face blush and she said in an exaggerated tone: "Wow!"

Not far ahead, it was not a demon or a ghost, but a man who was naked.

—————————————————————————

Xiao Chen looked at this young man who was wrapped around his waist with his shirt and his upper body was bare. He looked ordinary and was not outstanding in the crowd. He had small eyes, dark skin, and sparse eyebrows. In short, there was nothing eye-catching except that his edges were still sharp. But his figure was completely different. He was of medium to high height and had a standard inverted triangle body shape. He looked like he had practiced bodybuilding. Every part of his body was full of solid muscles. He was extremely strong. Compared to him, Xiao Chen was like a hemp stalk compared to a tree stump.

"Think about it again?" Xiao Chen looked at the other person seriously, as if he wanted to find something from his lifeless eyes.

"I forgot." The young man still gave him this answer. He looked at Xiao Chen blankly and repeated, "I really forgot everything."

"I only remember that his name was Liu Yisheng, but I don't remember his age, identity, or how he came here. He should have really lost his memory. I guess he hit his head in the earthquake." Luo Ling interrupted.

"But he looks as good as can be. You can't tell that he's been knocked over." Xiao Chen frowned.

"Maybe he was hit by a bad luck, or maybe he's strong enough."

"Strong is true." Xiao Chen was a little jealous of this figure, and asked helplessly, "Do you remember anything?"

"I remember... I was walking and walking, looking for a way out."

"Didn't you meet the armored warrior?"

The other party shook his head, obviously not knowing what Xiao Chen was talking about.

"Forget it. What happened next?"

"I asked, 'Is there anyone?' as I walked. I didn't find anyone, but I found a room with many boxes. Later, I heard a loud noise here, so I walked over slowly."

"The room where things are stored?" The two decided to go and see what was going on.

—————————————————————————

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling followed Liu Yisheng to that room. What surprised him was that although Liu Yisheng had lost his memory and looked a little confused, he remembered the way clearly in the maze-like underground palace. They walked for a long time in the twists and turns of the tunnel before they came to a stone chamber.

The three of them walked to the door of the room on the gravel on the ground and found that there was a door in this stone chamber. The door was made of a whole piece of metal, thick and heavy, and the workmanship was very exquisite, but it could only allow one person to pass through. In addition to the decorative patterns, there were many strange runes flashing on it. It can be seen that this place was originally well protected, but no matter how powerful the protection was, it was no match for nature. The earthquake directly caused the door to fall to the ground.

"It's in here." Liu Yisheng took the lead and walked in. Xiao Chen and Luo Ling followed carefully behind him. However, when they saw the things in the room behind the door, they exclaimed in unison: "Treasure room?!"

There were dozens of boxes of different sizes in this room, placed on the ground and wooden shelves around the room. Several boxes had fallen to the ground and smashed open. The things that fell out of them made the whole room bright. Various gold coins, jewelry and luxurious utensils rolled all over the floor, competing to emit a light that made people's blood boil. But what was even more strange was that there was a gorgeous sarcophagus in the corner of the room, and there were countless runes on it, but the sarcophagus had fallen to the ground and broke into two pieces, and it could be seen that various gold and silver buried with the dead were scattered inside.

There were not many people who could remain calm in the face of wealth falling from the sky, let alone mazes, secret rooms, treasures, and other plots that only exist in movies suddenly fell on their heads? Xiao Chen felt that his heart was beating faster than when he was chasing Zhou He before. However, the strange sarcophagus made him dare not act rashly. He slowly moved to the side of the sarcophagus and took a picture inside with his mobile phone, "Huh, no one."

"Well, there is no trace of a corpse. It is an empty coffin. It is estimated that the owner has not had time to use it yet." Luo Ling also came over.

Xiao Chen then picked up two gold coins from the ground, weighed them, and then put them in front of him to examine them carefully, and said happily: "Haha, they are heavy enough."

Luo Ling didn't care about him either, and picked up a necklace by herself. The sapphire on the necklace stone was as big as a pigeon egg, reflecting the crystal light under the rune fluorescence, printing her face into a light purple. Then she found a gem brooch, which was made into the shape of a butterfly, and the color blocks on each wing were composed of different gems.

Just when the two of them were picking and looking around, and were very excited, Liu Yisheng's curious voice came: "What are these things? What are you so happy about? You can't eat them."

Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at Liu Yisheng in astonishment, pointing to a gold bar in his hand and asked: "You don't even know what this is?"

"I forgot..." Liu Yisheng replied aggrievedly, "I came in and saw these, and I always felt that they were useless. But I know these can't be eaten. Look, I bit this one, and I couldn't bite it." He picked up a gold bar from the ground, with a clear tooth mark on it.

"You are awesome! Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?" Xiao Chen looked at the iron-toothed gentleman in front of him, wondering whether he had lost his memory or was completely stupid. I have never heard of a person with amnesia who couldn't even tell what was edible.

Liu Yisheng frowned and looked at Xiao Chen seriously. Seeing Luo Ling busy picking jewelry everywhere, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "I know. You must have a reason for valuing these things so much! They can be exchanged for food! Right!" He eagerly grabbed Xiao Chen's arms and shook him and asked.

"Uh, don't get excited...right, right."

"Can it really be exchanged for food?!" Liu Yisheng looked at Xiao Chen in surprise, then snatched the bitten gold bar and stuffed it into his waist, then announced very seriously: "Then everyone who sees it will get a share, I want one third."

"Have you... lost your memory?"

Xiao Chen carefully checked the boxes in the room. He found that the large boxes on the lower level were mostly gold, silver and jewelry, while many smaller boxes and boxes on the shelves contained some well-made and peculiar weapons, armor and accessories. And it seems that the higher the box is, the more exquisite the things taken out.

For example, the dagger in his hand was taken out from the two boxes on the top shelf. The blade is only more than one foot long, but it is very heavy, and the blade is light red. The upper door is covered with runes similar to seal characters.

Xiao Chen played with the dagger and tried to distinguish the runes on it. Suddenly, he felt that his spirit was attracted by the dagger. Then he felt a mysterious power bursting out from the inside of the dagger.

A fire suddenly appeared and the dagger was burning.
