Chapter 787: Somewhat Panic
Although everyone was a little panicked, they quickly acted according to Lin Ze's instructions.
They leaned sideways and bent over, cleverly avoiding the ice cones and moving forward with difficulty in the gaps between them.
Finally, after some thrilling dodging, they successfully passed through the passage full of ice cones and reached the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage, there was a huge sarcophagus, and a strong aura permeated around it, which made people feel both excited and nervous.
Everyone gathered around the sarcophagus, wondering what was hidden inside. Was it a treasure that could make them rich overnight? Or was it an evil force that could destroy them?
Lin Ze walked forward cautiously and looked at the sarcophagus carefully. He found that the sarcophagus was also engraved with patterns related to the token, as if waiting for some kind of opportunity to open.
Just as he was thinking, the sarcophagus suddenly seemed to be activated by a mysterious force and began to vibrate on its own. Accompanied by a low roar, the entire sarcophagus began to tremble slightly, as if something inside was waking up.
This sudden change made everyone terrified. They all took a few steps back at the same time, staring at the sarcophagus, fearing that some terrible monster would suddenly jump out of it.
"Don't panic!" Lin Ze shouted calmly, "This may be a signal that the sarcophagus will be opened."
However, his words did not reduce the fear of the crowd. As the roar became louder and louder, the lid of the sarcophagus slowly rose, and a strong airflow blew in like a strong wind, making it almost impossible for the crowd to open their eyes.
When the air flow subsided a little, everyone was finally able to see the situation in the sarcophagus. In the sarcophagus, there lay a young man in ancient costume, his face lifelike, like a sleeping fairy. On the young man's chest, there was an ancient book emitting golden light, the light was so dazzling that people could not look directly at it.
Seeing this, Lin Ze's heart moved. He was about to reach out to take the ancient book, but at this moment, an astonishing scene happened - the young man's eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light shot towards Lin Ze like lightning!
Lin Ze reacted extremely quickly. He dodged to the side and the cold light brushed past his shoulder. He narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. No one expected that this seemingly sleeping young man would suddenly attack. At this time, the young man had already sat up from the sarcophagus. He glanced at everyone coldly, as if he was examining a group of uninvited guests.
"Why did you break in here?" The young man's voice was cold and majestic, making people shudder.
Lin Ze calmed himself down and said, "Senior, we came here by chance and have no ill intentions. The pattern on the sarcophagus is related to the token in our hand, which caused the sarcophagus to open."
The young man snorted coldly: "This token originally belonged to me. It is fate that it fell into your hands."
Everyone looked at each other with astonishment on their faces. They never expected that this ordinary-looking young man had such a deep connection with the token.
Lin Ze calmed himself down and asked carefully, "Then, senior, what is the origin of the ancient books in this sarcophagus?" There was a hint of awe and curiosity in his voice.
The young man slowly turned his head and glanced at the ancient book. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "This ancient book is the experience I gained from practicing for many years. It contains many unknown methods and secrets. Originally, these contents should not be passed on to others, but since you can come here, it can be regarded as a certain fate and blessing. However, if you want to take this ancient book away, you must do something for me."
When everyone heard this, they felt nervous and asked hurriedly, "I wonder what the senior needs us to do?"
The young man was silent for a moment, as if he was choosing his words, and then he said, “I have been trapped in this place for a long time. There is an extremely evil force here that has sealed my spiritual power and prevented me from escaping.
I need you to help me find a way to remove the seal."
Lin Ze thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder what the key to this seal is? Are there any clues?"
The young man said slowly: “The key to the seal lies in three keys, which are hidden in three dangerous places in these ruins.
One is deep in the volcanic lava, one is at the bottom of an extremely cold ice cave, and one is in the center of a psychedelic forest. Only by collecting all three keys can the seal on me be lifted."
After hearing this, everyone's faces became very solemn, and they looked at each other. Obviously, these places were not good places, and they sounded more dangerous than each other. However, the temptation of the golden ancient book was too great, so great that they could not give up easily.
Lin Ze clenched his teeth, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, senior. We will try our best to find the three keys!" Although his voice was a little low, it revealed a firm determination.
The young man looked at Lin Ze and nodded slightly to show his approval, then said: "Okay, if you can really find the three keys successfully, then this golden ancient book will belong to you."
After receiving the young man's promise, Lin Ze felt a little relieved. He turned around and looked at the people behind him, and saw that everyone's face was full of worry and uneasiness. But he knew that at this moment, they had no way out. Only by moving forward bravely could they get the legendary golden ancient book.
Therefore, Lin Ze resolutely led everyone, with expectations and trepidation about the unknown, and resolutely embarked on the difficult journey of finding the three keys. They all knew that what awaited them ahead would be one thrilling test after another, but for the opportunity that could change their fate, they had no reason to retreat.
They first came to the depths of the volcanic lava.
The hot magma continued to roll, emitting suffocating heat, and the surrounding rocks were baked red.
Everyone looked solemn and walked slowly, as if every step was on thin ice. The air around them was extremely hot and filled with the smell of sulfur, making it hard to breathe.
Suddenly, a dull sound came from under their feet, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly. Everyone's heart tightened and they looked around vigilantly.
In an instant, a group of fire lizards jumped out of the magma like ghosts, their bodies burning with flames and their eyes revealing a fierce light.
The fire lizards pounced on the crowd with their fangs and claws bared, and the flames spewing from their mouths instantly ignited the surrounding air, forming a sea of fire. For a moment, the shouts of killing and the sounds of burning flames intertwined, deafening.
