Chapter 91 Underground Palace (1/2)
”That may not be so…”
The moment these words left Yaoyao's mouth, Zhou Yuan, Su Youwei, Wei Canglan and the rest immediately cast their gazes towards her, looks of bewilderment on their faces. Could it be that Yaoyao was able to decipher even a Genesis Rune boundary like this?
As if she could read their minds, Yaoyao shook her head and said, ”One needs to have at the minimum mastered grade 5 Genesis Runes to attempt deciphering this Genesis Rune boundary. The current me is unable to do so.”
Everyone was even more confused after hearing this. Since she was unable to decipher it, what other method was there?
Yaoyao said in an offhand manner, ”Won't we be able to open it as long as we have that special rune?”
Everyone forced a smile and shook their heads. Why would they be standing around if they knew the special rune?
However, Su Youwei's eyes glimmered at this moment as she asked, ”Does big sis Yaoyao know the special rune?”
Yaoyao carefully inspected the runes on the Genesis Rune boundary. A while later, she finally nodded. ”It seems that I was correct.”
As she spoke, she tapped the Universe bag at her waist and a black jade tile appeared in her hand.
Zhou Yuan was taken aback when he saw the black jade tile. It was the item he had payed an unfair price of twenty thousand Genesis crystals previously in Devil Prison City.
He looked towards Yaoyao in disbelief. ”Is the Genesis Rune on the black jade tile the key to open this Genesis Rune boundary?”
If so, his twenty thousand Genesis crystals were very well spent indeed.
”It should be.” Yaoyao touched the somewhat faded Genesis Rune on the jade tile. ”I shall give it a try.”
She turned her head slightly and looked towards the others as she said, ”All of you withdraw from the ruins first such as to prevent the worst case scenario. I'm unsure of what changes have occurred to the Genesis Rune boundary after so many years have pa.s.sed, so I cannot ascertain if anything unexpected will happen.”
After hearing this, even Wei Canglan felt that he should comply. After all, the dangerous sensation from the Genesis Rune boundary was just a little too overwhelming.
Zhou Yuan opened his mouth and said with a smile, ”You guys wait outside the ruins. I will stay here.”
Lu Tieshan hastily spoke up upon hearing this, ”Your highness.”
Zhou Yuan waved his hand before looking towards Yaoyao. ”I believe in big sis Yaoyao's ability.”
Yaoyao cast a glance at him, her eyebrows curling as she teased, ”More like you're afraid that I will secretly take all the treasures.”
Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes in response.
”I will also stay behind.” Su Youwei lifted a fair little hand. No fear could be seen on her small and pretty face.
Zhou Yuan did not object and looked towards the rest to urge them to leave. Wei Canglan and the rest ceased resisting and withdrew from the pit one by one.
After everyone left, Yaoyao grasped her jade-green Genesis Rune Brush as her expression turned serious. She stared at the glowing Genesis Rune boundary before her for a few seconds, before the tip of her brush suddenly descended.
The brush tip flowed like water as stroke after stroke emerged in a unique rhythm.
Zhou Yuan and Su Youwei stood behind her, their expressions grave, heartbeat quickening as they watched the complicated Genesis Rune slowly take shape.
After all, a single mistake might cause the Genesis Rune boundary to go haywire, which would undoubtedly be a disaster for all of them.
The atmosphere in the deep pit was suffocatingly silent. The only noise that could be heard was the very soft movement of Yaoyao's Genesis Rune Brush.
This silence lasted for a long time before the Genesis Rune was finally completed. The extremely complicated rune slowly descended and eventually came into contact with the Genesis Rune boundary.
Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao and Su Youwei did not dare to blink as they stared at the Genesis Rune boundary.
Buzz buzz!
Under their gazes, the Genesis Rune boundary soon began to ripple violently, waves of berserk undulations pulsing. This caused Zhou Yuan's expression to change slightly, under the impression that the boundary was about to explode.
Fortunately, this only continued for a dozen breaths before gradually calming down.
Next, the trio watched in joy and surprise as the Genesis Rune boundary slowly began to part, revealing a way through.
Su Youwei joyfully blurted out, ”It worked!”
Yaoyao gently stroked her fair cheek as a faint smile rose on her lips.
