Chapter 586 - Hidden Staircase (1/2)
”Brother Yuan, how is your body feeling? Is it still heating up?” Chu Liuxiang asked him.
He nodded and said, ”Yes, it's still heating up, but it doesn't hurt, so it's nothing to be worried about.”
”If you ask me, I think your body is reacting to something within this tomb. Maybe you actually belong to one of the Six Spiritual Families, and your body is telling you so.” Chu Liuxiang chuckled as she joked.
”I belong to one of the Six Spiritual Families?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.
As ridiculous as that sounded, it wasn't completely impossible. As an orphan, his real background could be anything, and that includes one of the Six Spiritual Families.
However, they won't really know for certain until there is solid proof.
”Anyways, jokes aside, look at these weapons. Many of them are treasures.” Chu Liuxiang said as she approached the weapon display cases.
”They give off the same aura as Spirit-grade weapons in Cultivation Online…” Yuan mumbled.
While Yuan and the others looked at the weapons, the grand elders scattered around the tomb to make sure there wasn't anything out of the ordinary.
About half an hour later, they all gathered again.
”Anything?”
”Nope.”
”Nothing.”
Yuan then asked, ”Is this the only room in the tomb?”
”Yes. Although we don't have the layouts of this tomb, this is the only room that we know of. However, we do have speculations of a hidden room somewhere in this tomb. We just don't know where it is.” Senior Wang said.
Senior Hong then spoke, ”We believe there is a hidden room somewhere mostly because our founders' coffins cannot be found in this main room. They are probably in a hidden room, but we cannot find it no matter where to looked. Besides the entrance that is also an exit, there are no other paths in this tomb, and we don't dare to tear apart the tomb to find this hidden room without concrete evidence that it exists.”
Yuan pondered for a moment. If what Chu Lixuaing said is true— that his body is reacting to something inside this tomb, maybe he can find it by following his body temperature.
”Do you mind if I look around for a bit?” Yuan then asked them.
”Go ahead. We'll also look around again just in case we missed anything.”
Thus, Yuan and the others began walking around the room.
”The longer we stay here, the creepier it gets…” Meixiu sighed.
”Are you not good with these kinds of things?” Yuan asked her.
”So you're afraid of ghosts and zombies?” Chu Liuxiang chuckled.
”It's not that I am afraid of these things, but the eeriness of this place makes me uncomfortable,” Meixiu said.
”Don't worry, we'll probably leave right after looking around.”
As Yuan walked around, he would feel his body temperature rising and lowering, almost like he was playing the game hot and cold.
Eventually, Yuan found the direction that would make his body temperature increase the more he walked in that direction.
”I think this is the spot. My body is burning right now.” Yuan said.
