Chapter 170: Treasure Hunting

"It’s open!"

Bai Xiashuang shouted in surprise. Bai Qiuxue looked to Lu Li, disbelief showing up in her pretty eyes.

At that moment, she suddenly understood why Madam Yan asked Lu Li to accompany them. So many people had been looking for secret gears for such a long time, and yet Lu Li was the one who saw through it so easily.

Of course it was not done easily!

He had been observing for a long time. Many methods had been tried by so many men, but they still could not open the stone gate. It was unlikely that the stone gates were designed to be unbroken, otherwise, nobody could get through the Inhibition Formation outside of the Tomb of the Dragon King. Since the Dragon King decided to let warriors younger than 20 to get in, there must be a way.

Lu Li saw that everyone had tried everything, but nobody thought about the bottom of the stone gates.

Of course, they never thought about pushing the bottom. After all, usually, gates were opened by the sides. How could a gate be lifted like a curtain?

Lu Li thought Dragon King must have an out-of-the-ordinary idea. Maybe the gates could be opened at the bottom. He didn’t expect that his guess was right.

"Go in!"

Bai Qiuxue ordered. That disciple was still holding the gate open with his hands. He let the others go in first. The rest three teams all copied what he did. They, of course, easily pushed the stone gates open.

Inside the stone gates was still a tunnel as wide as the one out. It stretched straight into the distance, and nobody could tell how long the tunnel was.

Lu Li was still staying at the back low key. After everyone got in, the disciple holding the door sneaked into the tunnel. The stone gate fell heavily and it was closed again.

Lu Li didn’t move forward at once with his team. Rather, he squatted down and tried to push it towards the outside. However, this time, the gate wouldn’t budge for even a bit. Lu Li frowned as he realized that this path allowed only moving forward but not backward.

Bai Qiuxue was slowly walking forward. Lu Li had to catch up to follow the team. A young lady walking in front took a look at him. When she saw the Ghost Mask, she was scared. She stepped forward quickly.

Staying at the very back were two disciples from two families. One of them was the one who pushed the gate open. Lu Li didn’t know which family he belonged to. When he saw Lu Li, he just nodded slightly without saying anything.

Three Bai Family Young Masters were leading the way. They were all at the Soul Pond Realm and had Fifth-rank Bloodlines so their fighting abilities were strong.

The three were moving at an appropriate speed. Relying on the strong perception power of Soul Pond Realm, they had been observing the surroundings and the fluctuations of Inhibition Formations.

The tunnel was safe. They walked for about 540 yards before they reached another hall. Even before they went into the hall, their eyes had lit up. There was a statue located in the middle of the hall, and there was a long sword in the statue’s hand, an Interspatial Ring and a scroll in its other hand.

"Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact, Interspatial Ring, high rank Xuan Skill!"

Someone exclaimed. Treasures that could appear here must be good. Three disciples of the Bai Family charged forward at once. They had agreed on that whoever laid their hands on the treasure shall have it. They could not loot others’ treasures.

"Get back here!"

Someone suddenly yelled. It was Lu Li. His voice made everyone tremble. Bai Qiuxue was alarmed. She promptly yelled after Lu Li, "Careful!"

However, it was already too late. The three Bai Family disciples already had made their way to the statue, ready to take the three treasures respectively.

"Buzzing~"

The statue suddenly lit up. The Xuan Artifact glared, and the hand of the statue was raised. The long sword danced around as three rays of sword light shot out, aiming at the three Bai Family disciples respectively.

"Bang!"

The speed of the sword light was so fast that there was no evading from it. The three Bai Family disciples were hit. The armors they wore burst out, and they were sent flying backward as they spat out blood.

"Young Master Ying, Young Master Tu, Young Master Rong!"

Ding Heng and the others rushed to them. They helped the three out and fed them healing pellets. Seeing the badly injured chests and the broken armors of the three, everyone was shocked. If it were not for the fact that they were wearing Earth Grade armors, they would have already lost their life.

Bai Qiuxue took a look at the statue and then turned to Lu Li. Staring at the clear eyes of Lu Li under the Ghost Mask, she asked, "Lu Li, how did you know the statue was going to attack?"

Many people turned their eyes to him as they were curious. The statue seemed to be a motionless and lifeless one. There was no fluctuation of Inhibition Formation detected. Nobody saw anything was wrong, so how could Lu Li tell it just by one look?

Lu Li shrugged his shoulder. His answer made everyone speechless. "It is just a random guess. I didn’t expect that I was going to be right."

"Hmm!"

Bai Xiashuang snorted and turned her head back, but Bai Qiuxue gave Lu Li a look which expressed volumes. If it was just hunch, he couldn’t have been right two times in a row, right? The method of pushing the gate open already made Bai Qiuxue look at Lu Li with secret admiration. Now, her opinions of him were changed entirely.

Lu Li stood in silence. He stared at the statue without saying anything. Bai Qiuxue checked the surroundings with her eyes. This hall was different from the former one. There was one more tunnel at the left leading to nobody knew where.

Many young masters and young ladies stayed away from and circled around the statue. They were all longing for the treasures, but nobody dared to get them. Not many people could survive that sword light.

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

A young master could not bear it any longer and he walked slowly towards the statue. On his feet, Xuan Energy was glaring. He held a saber horizontally in front of his chest, ready to retreat at any minute now.

Nine feet, three feet, one feet and seven inches!

When he was close to the statue, it suddenly glared. The sword swept towards him and a half-moon-shaped sword light whooshed to him.

"Swish!"

The young master retreated fast, but he was not as quick as the sword light. At the critical moment, he blocked it with his Xuan Artifact.

"Bang!"

The Xuan Artifact of the Ninth Rank of the Earth Grade exploded. The inner armor the Young Master was wearing burst out. He was smashed off, covered in blood.

Several young masters and young ladies nearby soon ran towards him to treat him. Luckily, this man defended himself with his Xuan Artifact, so the injury he sustained was not too bad.

"I will have a try!"

Bai Xiashuang was itchy to have a try. They had come here to hunt treasures, so they couldn’t just leave the treasures there now that they had seen them. That was worse than not coming in at all.

"Shuang-er, come back!"

Bai Qiuxue grabbed Bai Xiashuang, causing the latter to swallow down her longing. Everyone was looking at others, but nobody moved.

Lu Li walked over. He looked at the people afraid to move. All of a sudden, he said, "Guys, do you want the treasures or not? If not… I will take them."

"What?"

A huge commotion swept among them. Many people were again ready to have a try, but at the same time, they were hesitating. Bai Xiashuang released her Xuan Energy and the crescent mark on her neck glistened. However, Bai Qiuxue again patted her shoulder which stopped her from doing anything.

Since they were young, Bai Qiuxue had been more stable and wiser than Bai Xiashuang. The latter had always been listening to the former’s advice. Therefore, Bai Xiashuang didn’t take the plunge.

Bai Qiuxue looked around with a smile and said, "Island Owner Lu, the treasures will belong to whoever get them. Everyone can try to get the treasure. If you have some ways of getting them, please."

Many young masters were showing contempt in their eyes. As far as they were concerned, Lu Li was just being deliberately mystifying and bluffing to attract the attention of the two young ladies. Wouldn’t Lu Li be killed instantly if he really dared to take the treasures?

The Interspatial Ring in Lu Li’s hand lit up, and Xuan Crystals showed up. The action stunned many people. How did Lu Li get an Interspatial Ring?

"Swish!"

Lu Li casually picked up a Xuan Crystal and threw it at the statue. People were frightened. They retreated quickly lest they would become target of the attack of externally released Xuan Energy of the statue.

"Bang!"

A slight noise came out as the Xuan Crystals hit against the statue which was motionless this time. Lu Li nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "Little White, go and get that scroll."

"Swish!"

A white shadow rushed out of Lu Li’s sleeve. A small beast rushed onto the arm of the statue at once.

What astonished everyone was—nothing happened to the statue. Little White rushed back like a sharp sword with the scroll.
