Chapter 1500

Sweat dripped from their foreheads.

The feeling of exhaustion gradually spread.

However.

With the support and encouragement of each other.

They did not give up.

They persisted.

Finally.

After countless crawls.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan successfully reached the upper space.

They lay on the ground and gasped.

At the same time, they cheered for their persistence.

The upper space was a spacious and dark room.

The starry sky dome, which was once covered with dust, sprinkled faint light through several cracks.

Illuminated the entire space.

After entering the new space, Hu Bayi conducted a reconnaissance.

And found that there were more unknown areas extending ahead.

But then there was another landslide.

The already shaky funeral room was completely buried.

Although the possibility of returning to the original path was lost.

But the newly discovered space above indicated that they were about to uncover more secrets...

Hu Bayi took a big step.

Leading the team members to conduct reconnaissance in the space above.

They walked through several rooms carefully.

Observed many exquisite and mysterious artworks and ancient artifacts.

These exhibits seemed to be silently telling stories.

They aroused their curiosity about history and culture.

Several team members stopped.

Carefully observed the exhibits.

Trying to find more clues from them.

Hu Bayi's eyes kept wandering.

Noticed a dark passage ahead.

He made up his mind.

Lead the team towards the unknown.

However.

Just as they were about to step into the passage.

A loud noise sounded.

Hu Bayi quickly grabbed the team members' arms.

Drag them to a safe place.

The collapse sound from the funerary room shook the entire space.

Hu Bayi realized with experience.

This was a warning that the entire ancient tomb was gradually collapsing.

"We can't go back."

Huo Jilin said with a frown.

"But we can't stop."

"There are more unknowns waiting for us to explore ahead."

The team members looked at each other.

They nodded in agreement with a firm look.

They took a deep breath.

They mustered up the courage to move forward.

After passing through the dark passage.

They entered another space.

This space was completely different from what they had seen before.

The walls were inlaid with exquisite agate and patterned bricks.

It flickered with mysterious light under the faint starlight.

In the quiet atmosphere.

Hu Bayi felt an invisible force flowing here.

He stared ahead.

Determined to uncover more secrets behind this space.

"We have to be careful."

"I don't know what dangers there will be here."

Hu Bayi warned.

The team members nodded silently.

Followed closely behind Hu Bayi.

They gradually approached the center of the room.

They found an ancient box decorated with runes and gemstones on a huge stone platform.

Hu Bayi walked to the edge of the steps and stopped.

He looked at the box carefully.

He could feel the powerful energy emanating from the box.

He couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Suddenly.

An illusion emerged around the box.

It turned into a mysterious and powerful existence.

This existence radiated golden light all over.

It seemed to be the oldest and most powerful life form in the universe.

"Welcome the brave to explore."

The illusion said lightly.

"Only by passing the trial I set can you get the treasure you want."

Hu Bayi pondered for a moment.

Then he made a resolute decision.

We are willing to accept the trial.

The illusion nodded.

A glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes.

"Very good."

"Brave men."

"Please prepare to meet the challenges you are about to face."

Huo Jilin stared at the illusion in front of him with wide eyes.

His heart was full of surprise and curiosity.

This ancient and powerful existence actually took the initiative to welcome them.

This means that they will have the opportunity to obtain more clues and treasures.

The illusion smiled lightly.

He stretched out a hand and waved to Hu Bayi.

"Brave man."

"Please follow me."

Hu Bayi looked at the team members expressionlessly.

Then he raised his chin to signal everyone to follow.

The team members exchanged glances.

Confirmed each other's determination.

Followed closely.

They passed through the stone pillars.

Came to the stairs above the ancient hall.

The stairs led to a square.

The walls around the square were carved with patterns and texts of ancient civilizations.

Hu Bayi carefully observed the carvings on the wall.

And remembered the important information in his heart.

The illusion stopped in the center of the square.

The figure dissipated in the air.Then a huge square array flashed out.

The square array was composed of floating agate and crystal stones.

"Brave men."

"Please step on the designated stones in the order of the array."

The voice of the illusion echoed in the air.

Hu Bayi stared at the square array.

Trying to find the pattern.

He saw numbers and symbols on the square array.

He understood that this was a test of thinking and memory.

He took a deep breath.

He chose the first number.

And stepped gently on the corresponding stone.

Then.

The floating stones in the square array emitted a faint light.

Hu Bayi's eyes were like lightning.

Step on all the numbers in the array in order within the limited time.

Every time he stepped on a number.

There was a slight sound in the square array.

After he encountered the challenge of increasing difficulty, he reasoned and memorized with twice the result with half the effort.

Finally, he successfully passed this challenge.

The illusion slowly appeared in front of Hu Bayi.

There was admiration in his eyes.

"Brave man."

"You are wise."

"Next."

"Please move to the next trial."

Hu Bayi nodded unchanged, signaling the team members to follow.

Everyone followed the guidance given by the illusion and entered a snow-covered passage next to the square.

At the end of the passage was a huge ice palace.

Ice and snow piled up in the palace.

Through the hidden hole in the palace, you can see a vast snowfield below.

The illusion stood in the center of the ice palace.

Smiling, he stretched out his hand to Hu Bayi.

"Brave man."

"Please defeat me."

"To prove your strength."

Huo Jilin and Hu Bayi looked at each other.

They knew.

This was the key stage of their exploration of the ancient tomb.

Hu Bayi nodded.

Signaling everyone to prepare for action.

The team members quickly dispersed.

Adopt a strategy around the illusion.

Huo Jilin held a scimitar.

Swiftly shuttled through the ice palace.

Trying to find an opportunity to attack the illusion.

However.

The power and speed displayed by the illusion exceeded all their imaginations.

Whenever the team members tried to get close.

The illusion would condense water droplets into water waves and disappear in an instant.

After several consecutive attacks without success.

Everyone felt a little discouraged.

Watching time slowly pass.

They became more and more anxious.

At the critical moment.

Huo Jilin suddenly flashed near the illusion.

And swung his knife at it with all his strength.

Although the illusion quickly dodged the knife.

But it was angered by Huo Jilin's attack.

The illusion emitted an invisible energy wave.

Making the entire ice palace shaky.

Huo Jilin jumped up suddenly.

Recovering balance with the help of the power of the wall.
