Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 101 The Sleeping Princess

"Fluorescent stones alone aren't worth much."

Su Yu was stunned by the palace hidden below after only one glance around.

"But it's all made of stone, so this is probably what royal palaces were like in this era."

Su Yu commented on the route he had randomly chosen because he didn't know where to go.

"Although there are no gems or gold, the various exquisite stone carvings alone are actually quite expensive."

"Judging from the layout, the underground palace might be larger than the one above ground?"

"Could this be a tomb?"

"Judging from the situation, it really might be a tomb."

"The Princess's Curse..."

"Is it referring to the curse brought by a princess in the tomb?"

"Let's find the princess's tomb first."

Given that this deserted island may have once been a kingdom, and the underground palace here is so large, it is unlikely that it is just a princess's tomb. Even if it is a princess's tomb, there would only be one burial chamber for her to sleep in.

What Su Yu needs to do is find the princess's tomb.

Initially, the halls were all empty.

But as you wander around, you start to see "people," except these "people" are terracotta soldiers.

"Judging from the nicks in their weapons and the fresh bloodstains, they must be terracotta soldiers who went out to fight earlier?"

Su Yu's expression turned serious.

"Is it charging or repairing?" Su Yu felt a faint power seeping into the terracotta warrior.

"Seeing these, I feel like we're not far from finding the princess's tomb."

Su Yu went there and then saw a series of curled-up rock giants.

These rock giants remained motionless.

If you hadn't witnessed their fighting prowess, anyone who saw them would only regard them as lifeless, harmless giant stone sculptures.

Su Yu subconsciously held his breath. The rock giants didn't move, seemingly unaware of his intrusion.

"It seems that their previous ability to move was indeed manipulated, and not out of their own will."

After confirming this guess, Su Yu felt a sense of relief.

As he faced a fork in the road, the power within the courtyard fluctuated slightly, and an unseen attraction emanated from one direction.

Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It turns out to be here."

Su Yu originally thought that it would take some time to find the princess.

Unexpectedly, the curse he was under actually "helped" him at this moment.

Guided by this force, Su Yu arrived at a palace that looked no different from the ones he had passed before.

The palace had metal doors that looked very sturdy.

Su Yu's gaze fell upon the obvious dent in the door.

"Such a big key?"

In theory, without people, all locks are meaningless.

After all, even the sturdiest doors and walls can be broken down.

However, Su Yu did not act rashly.

The rock giants and terracotta soldiers who went out to attack the settlers were probably protecting the princess.

Although the rock giants and terracotta soldiers did not "revive" along the way, Su Yu did not dare to let his guard down.

If his guess is true, the princess of the palace is a powerful weapon!
Any abnormal destruction will immediately activate the rock giants and terracotta soldiers, and they will fight to the death.

"Hmm, this mark looks familiar!"

Su Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly took out an angel statue from his spatial storage. It was a small silver statue of a girl in a prayer position, with two tiny blue sapphires in her eyes.

"Huh, something's changed!" The silver maiden statue was unremarkable at first, but now, as it approached the gate, it seemed to emit a faint red glow.

"Press it on!" Su Yu pressed the angel statue on without much hesitation.

As soon as it was pressed, a loud rumbling sound was heard, and then the door opened, revealing a square room decorated with tapestries and curtains, and the walls inlaid with colorful gemstones.

It looked like a palace, but in the middle of the room was only a coffin. The coffin was black, and its material was unknown. It looked like some kind of stone. Although it was black, there was a faint fluorescence on the surface of the coffin, giving it a mysterious feel.

Although this was a tomb, it surprisingly didn't give Su Yu any eerie feeling.

Even so, Su Yu did not let his guard down.

The person lying in the coffin must be the princess who brought the curse upon everyone.

After getting some fresh air, Su Yu went inside. The room was silent and deathly still, but he immediately felt a slight headache and his heart skipped a beat.

Is there some kind of power in the room affecting my mind, or is it an enhanced version of a curse?
A finger is extended, and a glimmer of light appears.

"The stone coffin has no lid!"

Under the light, everything inside the stone coffin was revealed to Su Yu.

Inside the stone coffin lay a young girl, who looked very young. She wore a gorgeous black dress with ruffles, and apart from her head and neck, only her closed-eyed face was visible; no other part of her body was exposed.

Her long, black hair was loose, and her hands, clad in black ruffled gloves, were resting in front of her, giving her the appearance of a peaceful, sleeping figure.

"This is the princess?"

"It's only this small?"

At such a young age, he has already lost his life and is now in eternal sleep?
Su Yu noticed that she seemed to have something in her mouth.

"Could it be that it has a bead in its mouth?"

It is not uncommon for someone to fall into a deep sleep with a bead in their mouth.

Su Yu glanced at it briefly before looking away. He needed to find a way to lift the curse, but after taking only one step, he immediately turned back.

"Wait, this looks familiar!"

Su Yu shuddered, suddenly feeling a chill run down his spine. He remembered the girl he had met not long ago when he came here; she was thirteen or fourteen years old, with long hair down to her waist, and even her clothes were exactly the same.

The only problem is that the girls' clothes here are still very new, but the little girl I met not long ago was filthy.

"Uncle, could you give me something to eat?"

Su Yu still remembered what the little girl had said. He had given her cookies and water, and she had actually eaten them. Su Yu's eye twitched in disbelief: "I met a princess not long ago?"

"So the sudden activation of the grand formation was because of her?"

"When I arrived, the rock giants and terracotta soldiers weren't activated, was that also because of her?"

Su Yu remained silent for a long time before finally taking a step forward.

"Could she still be alive?" Su Yu reached out to try and check her breath.

"Whoosh~" The moment the girl made contact, she turned into dancing specks of light. These specks of light flowed and formed a transparent human figure.

The girl, dressed in a gorgeous black dress with ruffles, seemed to be completely out of her mind. She stood up blankly, took a few steps, reached the door, and reached out to touch the angel statue.

"boom"

She transformed into a stream of light once more and poured it into the angel statue. Almost simultaneously, the angel statue vanished.

Then, Su Yu's expression changed.

"There's something unusual happening in the courtyard."

Su Yu's figure flickered at the entrance of the tomb chamber before entering the courtyard.

When Su Yu opened his eyes again, the scene before him stunned him.

In one corner of the courtyard stood an angel statue. The angel statue was quite large, almost the size of a real person, and it stood there so openly.

At the angel statue, many points of light appeared out of thin air and surrounded it.

These points of light even made Su Yu feel a little uneasy, and almost at the same time, the entire palace shook.

"Oh no, we need to go back quickly!"

You must not let anyone know that you have entered this place and obtained the key item.
