Chapter 518 - The MoonLit ruins (Part-2) (2/2)
Ismene's eyes widen as she shouted out, ”Move faster there is a weird creature out here that will drag you into the poisonous cloud.”
Rasmine gritted her teeth as she dodged the creature's attempt to grab her as she shouted back, ”Easier said than done.”
The group led by Amarezen dashed through the tunnel when a doorway was in their sight, and as the group reached the door Haakon and Ryuu began to tear down the array preventing them from entering while the rest had taken up defensive positions, with shields created by array raised high up, which was being bombarded by various attacks of the creature.
”I have breached the array and opened the door, let us move in.”
Ryuu did not need to be told twice as the group dashed inside and the door shut itself as both Haakon and Ryuu shared a glance as Ryuu could not help but ask out loud, ”Are you sure this tomb is that of a Upper Celestial Level cultivator?”
Haakon frowned as he spoke, ”We bȧrėly managed to remove the array to enter this place, not to mention the arrays are too advanced for a mere Celestial.”
Amarezen frowned as she spoke, ”But all the clues from the map indicate it as a tomb of a Celestial.”
Cezary shrugged as he spoke, ”Well we will learn more as we venture forth.”
”Before we move there is something that I wish to say to you, Ryuu.”
As Ryuu looked at Ismene, she continued with a serious look on her face, ”Amongst us you are the weakest, just a first ranked Celestial, and the next weakest to you is Rasmine who is a fifth ranked Celestial, I hope you understand that whatever happens for your safety please let us deal with the danger.”
Ryuu shrugged as he spoke, ”Fine by me, I know my strength and I would not mind following my senior Daoist Sisters and Brothers guidance, and upon saying that I hope you would not dismiss my words when I voice my concerns.”
Hu Ruogang smiled at him as she replied back, ”Fret not Ryuu, if you have any concerns feel free to voice them out, we are in an unknown territory so if you perceive something amiss please inform us immediately.”
Rudie who was silent for the entire time spoke, ”This tomb might be extremely dangerous if we do not get out before our time runs out.”
Leszek looked at him with a questioning look on his face as he spoke, ”Why do you think so Rudie?”
Rudie simply pointed towards a corner and they all could see a familiar wisp of gas a Ryuu spoke with a curious look on his face, ”Interesting so this place will be flooded by the gas so that also means that there is a chance that the creature might have access to the tomb.”
Haakon sighed as he spoke, ”There is nothing we can gain by dawdling around this place we have to move forward.”
Ryuu let his KI flow from his hands as he sent it towards one of the pockets of gas and the result made his eyes widen.
”Everyone this strange poison is Kitoxin, so be careful as it would get agitated in presence of KI.”
Rudie growled as he spoke, ”That was the only thing that was missing.”
Ismene rolled her eyes as she spoke, ”Calm down Rudie, look at the message on the stone tablet.”
Looking at it Ryuu suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu as he spoke with disbelief, ”Oh no.”
”Is something wrong Daoist brother Ryuu?”
Ryuu glanced towards Venkat as he spoke with a sigh, ”Nothing I was just reminded about a similar situation back in Eden, we stumbled upon a tomb and it began with a similar message, it was a very dangerous place where my group and I almost lost our lives many times and only survived by luck.”
”So did you get anything precious from the tomb?”
Ryuu sighed as he spoke, ”Nothing after risking our lives all we received at the end was a message mocking us and telling us how the owner of the tomb had already spent every single of his treasures to build his tomb.”
Deafening silence descended amongst the group as Cezary cleared his throat drawing everyone's attention, ”I think we should pick up our pace we are wasting time.”
