Chapter 172 - The Lotus Pond (2/2)

The blind old man followed Wei Huo closely and shouted, “Everyone be careful! There are traps everywhere in the Immortal Tomb. If you’re not careful, you’ll die. There must be danger ahead. It’s best to prepare for battle!”

The group of Naga took out their weapons and became alert.

They followed Wei Huo out of the tunnel and saw a lotus pond. There was a huge fireball above their heads. It was a powerful spirit weapon that could emit light and heat. Below it was a wide lotus pond. The lotus flowers were blooming, and there were water droplets on the lotus leaves.

A breeze blew and the lotus leaves swayed. The water droplets landed in the water and emitted a ding-dong-dong sound. The breeze carried the fragrance of lotus flowers.

Wei Huo glanced at the blind old man. “Is this the Immortal Tomb you mentioned?”

The group was confused. Where was the trap? Where was the danger? This was obviously a lotus pond.

The blind old man was also confused. He mumbled to himself, “That shouldn’t be the case…”

Wei Huo lifted his head and looked at the ‘sun’. It was not a real sun, but a powerful spirit treasure. This spirit treasure had been burning for countless years, providing light and heat. That was the only way to make the lotus flowers bloom again.

A golden light shot out of the blind old man’s glabella. He activated his Heavenly Eye and used it to observe the layout of the lotus pond.

There were paths and pavilions built on the lotus pond. Not far away, there was a stone bridge. The lotus flowers were blooming and filled with life. This did not seem like a tomb at all. Instead, it looked like a backyard.

Moments later, the blind old man was shocked. “No, something’s wrong with the lotus pond. My Divine Sense can’t spread!”

The blind old man was also an imposing expert. He had Divine Sense and could move objects through space. However, he had suddenly realized that he could not extend his Divine Sense.

The three Epic-ranked experts in the team were facing the same problem. They were shocked. Their Spiritual Force aside, they could not even spread their imposing aura. Epic-ranked creatures without an imposing aura were no different from Rare-ranked creatures.

Everyone was panicking. Only Wei Huo remained calm. His domain had been suppressed by more than half. He felt the pressure but did not panic. He just asked the old blind man, who had been observing the situation with his Heavenly Eye, “Where should we go now?”

The Sun above him was definitely a treasure, but now was not the time to take it. He had to go deep inside and find the real tomb first.

The blind old man observed the place with his Heavenly Eye while saying, “This place is dangerous. We can’t act rashly. We can’t touch anything either. Otherwise, disaster will befall us.”

Crack! Crack!

At that moment, a crisp chewing sound came from behind them. This sound gave everyone a shock. They turned around and saw a Naga holding a lotus seed in his hand. He was chewing on a lotus seed and enjoying it.

He immediately shut his mouth and looked at everyone in confusion.

Everyone was speechless.

Didn’t we agree not to touch anything?

The blind old man was confused. “How could this be? Could the tomb owner not have set up any traps?”

Wei Huo was already moving forward. He had guessed the truth by now. Firstly, they had yet to enter the tomb, so they had not encountered any real danger. Secondly, the owner of the tomb was really powerful. He was confident that they would not want to set up any traps.

On the surface, the owner of the tomb might not seem to be dead yet. If they went in, they might be walking to their deaths!

The blind old man used his Heavenly Eye to observe and shouted, “Your Majesty, there’s something wrong with that stone bridge! That might be the real entrance to the tomb!”

Wei Huo arrived at the only bridge in the lotus pond. On one side of the bridge were the two words ‘Divine Bridge’.

Wei Huo was not sure what those words meant. He released his domain and observed the stone bridge carefully. In the end, he lifted his head and looked at the lotus leaf in the distance. The lotus leaf was stuck to the water surface, but there was a palm-sized door on it.

It was a door standing on a lotus leaf!
