Chapter 676 - Oil Lamp (2/2)

Unfortunately, Lin Li said to everyone, “This corridor is not accessible at all. Seems like we have to find another way. Otherwise, we will have to stop here.”

There wasn’t a tinge of hypocrisy in Lin Li’s tone, because he really didn’t have a solution this time. Although he had the debris of the stars, in the end, the cracks were not physical ent.i.ties. Even if the debris of the stars could not be destroyed, it would disappear through the cracks and disappear in the chaos of time and s.p.a.ce. Lin Li had finally seen the hope of gathering the seven pieces of the debris of the stars and piecing them together; hence, he did not want to take the risk. If he were to lose one of the pieces of the debris of the stars in the chaos of time and s.p.a.ce, he would probably never get it back again.

Lin Li didn’t have much interest in continuing to delve deeper, because he was preoccupied with his thoughts about the debris of the stars, Nothingness, that was in Osric’s mausoleum. However, Elder Randy and Cheyenne were obviously still unwilling to give up. Although they had obtained the Magic Tides and the Tower of Death, the fact that there was such a powerful unsolvable trap in front of them meant that there would be a greater treasure behind the trap. Everyone knew that it was bad to be greedy, but when faced with such temptation, it would be hard for anyone to stop appropriately.

Everyone was crowding around the gate, some pressing their faces against the wall and carefully scrutinizing the patterns in a bid to find the switch to shut down the s.p.a.ce trap in the corridor. They would also tap their hands against the wall in hopes of finding a hidden door or something. According to the common sense applied when exploring and finding treasures, the harder the trap, the more likely it was that there would be great treasures. Hence, the s.p.a.ce trap that could not be dealt with had aroused greater interest within the people.

Lin Li and his two Undead servants did nothing except to stand in front of the gate and carefully look into the corridor because Lin Li was well aware that whatever Cheyenne and Elder Randy were doing was useless. The Immortal King had set up the trap prevent others from entering. Hence, how could there be an alternative way to enter?

Indeed, it didn’t take long for Elder Randy and Cheyenne to return to Lin Li after finding out that they had nothing to gain. They remained silent and simply stared at the end of the corridor.

“Seems like this is really the end of our journey,” Elder Randy said while holding an arrow. He threw it into the corridor, immediately after which the arrow was ripped into shreds by the countless s.p.a.ce cracks.

Everyone could not help but s.h.i.+ver in fear; they could completely imagine what would happen to them if they were to barge in.

“Yeah, it’s just a single expedition, and we’ve already gained enough. We really shouldn’t be greedy and hope for more.” Cheyenne sighed, clearly feeling indignant, but there was nothing he could do now that he was faced with the s.p.a.ce trap that could not be solved at all.

However, no one took the initiative to leave, because they were all filled with a dash of hope, and were thinking about how great things would be if they could find a way to pa.s.s through. Nonetheless, they knew that the chances were very slim.

“Did you guys discover that that magical oil lamp seems different from the rest?” After standing in front of the door for a long time, Cheyenne suddenly pointed at the corridor and questioned them while feeling uncertain.

However, Cheyenne’s discovery did not pique the interest of the rest. In fact, every lamp in the corridor had a different style and design. Hence, the difference did not seem to be of any significance.

“Didn’t you guys sense that the magical wave of that oil lamp is different from those of the surrounding lamps?” Cheyenne seemed to have really felt something, and there was a tinge of excitement in his voice. If that oil lamp was really special, it could very likely be related to the trap. The High Elves wouldn’t have used other materials just because they lacked one.

“You mean the second lamp from the right?” Elder Randy glanced apprehensively in the direction that Cheyenne was looking at, and closed his eyes to carefully feel the aura of the oil lamp under the influence of the countless cracks in s.p.a.ce. He stopped feeling doubtful, and gradually began to feel a sense of joy and surprise.

It was indeed different! When Cheyenne mentioned it for the first time, Lin Li focused his attention on the oil lamp and discovered that the burning flame of the oil lamp was slightly different, though it was very similar to cyan.

The shape of the oil lamp did not seem to stand out from the surrounding ones. After all, all the oil lamps were different. However, Lin Li discovered that the oil lamp actually had a lot of similarities in structure with the Summoning Lamp that he had.
