Chapter 287: Carabidis Exchequer (2/2)
<Sudden Quest Completed!>
<Bonus Reward will be given after completing the Pack Quest>
After the rows of notifications in front of him, Rex then glances at the blurry entrance that the spirit told to be where the Carabidis Gem is located.
The barrier seems to be deactivated after the last symbol above the pond lit up.
With the death of the three Carabidis Guardian, all of the symbols above the pond lit up which triggers something making the temple tremble.
The ground started to shake for a moment before the blurry barrier started blinking.
All of the entrances around them started to close one by one before the blurry entrance becomes as clear as day, Rex and the others can see the inside of the blurry entrance that the stairs lead to.
Rex and the others approached the entrance slowly,
”What pissed you off?”, Rex asks while looking around cautiously.
Hearing this, Kyran glance at Rex briefly before he shakes his head, ”I don't know why. But the spirit somehow stirred up my element, making me angry”
But Rex widen his eyes in surprise, 'His element can affect him? Is that why his Berserk stat has a plus 30% beside it?'
When Rex unlocked the Pack Inspection Feature, he scans both Kyran and Adhara.
Aside from the percentage of their next evolution, the feature also shows their Berserk and Sanity's stats, and Kyran's berserk stats have a plus 30% beside it.
Turns out it might be from the dark element.
'Maybe I should find more about that Dark Element', Rex thought as he glance at Kyran.
They climb the stairs slowly while still keeping their guards up.
Upon meeting with the spirit before, they realized the temple is more than it seems.
Although Kyran and Adhara didn't quite have any system, they know the spirit is very strong from the moment Rex fall to his knees in pain just by a glance of the spirit.
It also has an immense amount of killing intent that amounts to a sheer frightening level.
After they arrive at the end of the stairs, Rex and the others saw the room inside the blurry entrance that now can be seen through as clear as water.
The room surprised them a bit,
Much less than what they expected of an old Egyptian temple, the room inside of the blurry entrance looks more tidy and even spotless with no sand or anything.
The room looks as if there is someone living here, it just seems out of place.
Rex looks down and even saw the floor inside the room is covered by a textured carpet that still looks brand new, the drawings and pattern of the carpet are still clear and vivid like it's just been put there.
While they're looking inside, they then spot a rectangle shape object in the middle.
From a glance, Rex can see that the rectangle shape object looks like an Egyptian-style coffin shaped like a human with a cat head that is elevated on a platform. The one inside of it must be an important person.
The room even had candles lit up, the golden ornaments make the room looks royal.
Aside from that, there are also pots of plants surrounding the coffin.
Rex's eyes glow as he scans the pots around the coffin to check if they were poisonous.
But the plants turn out to be not what Rex expected, it's an eight rank plant that only has a cooling effect, cleaning effect, and even fragrance that can make anyone feel relaxed.
It's a weird plant for a high-ranking one, the system also said that it's an ancient plant.
The same as the Black Dandelion that he saw earlier.
”That should be the Gem”, Adhara said while pointing at a green glowing gem that is located on the top of the coffin right on the forehead of the cat person.
Looking at this, Rex then said, ”Wait here”
”Are you really going to believe that spirit?”, Kyran asks from the back.
Hearing this, Rex stopped and looks back with a frown, ”The fire sword is really there, and we don't even know anything about this place. Both of you are better to wait here”
”If you take that Gem, the temple might crumble down”, Adhara added from the side.
Rex looks at Adhara before she continues, ”Pantheon Temple in sector 1C crumbles when the explorer takes the Gem just like this one, I saw it when I'm browsing the internet”
Hearing this, Rex hesitated.
He was in a predicament as he hesitated to take the Gem because of what Adhara said, they need to enter the Exchequer first to see the treasure inside of it.
Taking the Gem which might result in crumbling the temple, it's risky.
”Fine, let's check the Exchequer first”, Rex said before they all went outside.
Since the system's quest stated that to open the Exchequer he need the Guardians cores, Rex thought that maybe putting the three cores in the small pyramid will open the passage.
Arriving outside, Rex held the white orb before giving it to Kyran.
Kyran went to the last small pyramid, Adhara went to check on the fire pyramid, while Rex will go to the wind pyramid.
The three of them put each orb in its place.
After putting the light orb, three lights shot towards the entrance of the temple from each small pyramid before the statues on the temple's entrance started to move.
Rex and the others look at this with a frown as the statues face the temple entrance.
With the weapon in their hands, the statues slash the temple's entrance as a horizontal white slash mark appeared in front of the entrance.
The two statues then put their fingers inside the horizontal slash under Rex and the other's gaze.
CRACK!
Both of the statues then pull at the same time opening some kind of portal from the white horizontal slash, it started to open bit by bit until it opened fully exposing its insides.
Rex and the others widened their eyes as they saw gold and other items inside of it.
Without a doubt that the Exchequer held treasures of the Carabidis Temple, and they can't wait to take anything they can from the Exchequer.
Rex and the others went in front of the portal in awe but then suddenly,
The two statues suddenly turn to their back and look at Rex and the others, their eyes glow green before they suddenly go into their battle stance.
Both of their hulking figures look fierce as their eyes fixated on Rex and the others.
Looking at this, Adhara then whispers, ”What is happening?”
Rex also frowns after seeing the statues' battle stance, then suddenly, the fire sword in his hand also got pulled to the right statue.
It manages to free itself from Rex's hand before going back to the right statue.
SWOOSH!
The statues' weapons started to emit an immense elemental aura that can even make Rex jolt, its aura was put at its maximum after getting held by the statues.
”Mid Sixth Rank, both of them are mid-sixth rank”, Rex mumbles with a frown.
This makes Adhara and Kyran gulped as this statue is stronger than the elemental, Adhara then said with a wry smile, ”W-We don't need to fight them right?”
