Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag
Chapter 144 The Truth About the Treasure: The Final Showdown
Gong Lin and I cautiously made our way through the castle. The runes flashing on the walls were like eerie eyes, and the ground beneath our feet trembled from time to time, as if some giant beast was awakening underground.
My heart was racing uncontrollably, and I took each step with extreme caution.
Suddenly, a large hall appeared before us.
In the center of the hall sat a white-bearded man, surrounded by piles of ancient books that exuded an air of antiquity.
He looked at us with a mysterious gaze and said that he would only reveal the treasure information if I completed a test.
Gong Lin and I exchanged a glance and nodded firmly.
The test is to solve an ancient riddle.
Just as I was about to think, the blue-eyed thief David started chattering from the side: "You think you can unlock it? This treasure will be mine sooner or later!" Gong Lin's eyes narrowed, and he warned him: "You better not mess around!" The intimidating voice made David shrink back, but he still muttered resentfully to the side.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.
The surroundings were so quiet that I could only hear my own heartbeat. Sweat gradually beaded on my forehead as I tried to search my mind for knowledge, while also making use of some clues in the space around me.
The puzzle was very complex; strange symbols and cryptic clues kept flashing before my eyes.
I feel like I'm in a fog, and every attempt is like reaching out to clear the fog, only to be met with numerous obstacles.
Just as I was racking my brains, David chuckled again from the side: "Give up, little girl." Gong Lin glared at him angrily, but I remained unmoved, continuing to immerse myself in the puzzle, thinking that I must let this thief know that his plot will not succeed.
Time seemed to stand still as I stared at the symbols, feeling as if they were mocking my ignorance.
Suddenly, a thought struck me: the pattern on an ancient scroll in the space was remarkably similar to the symbol in the puzzle!
I suddenly looked up, and the symbols rearranged and combined in my eyes, making the answer obvious!
I excitedly told the wise man the answer.
The wise man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Good, you have passed the test." A glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes. "The treasure is in the underground labyrinth of the castle, but be careful, it is full of traps."
David listened in stunned silence. He had thought that I wouldn't be able to solve the puzzle and that the treasure would fall into his hands, but I actually succeeded!
He gritted his teeth, his face filled with resentment.
Gong Lin and I thanked the wise man and turned to walk towards the entrance of the underground labyrinth.
I heard light footsteps behind me, and without turning around, I knew it was David catching up.
The underground labyrinth was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a musty smell, which made people very uncomfortable.
We had only taken a few steps when flames suddenly spewed out from the stone statues on both sides, and Gong Lin and I quickly dodged.
Immediately afterwards, sharp spikes suddenly appeared on the ground, and Gong Lin quickly pulled me away.
David was a beat too slow and almost got pricked by the spikes. His disheveled appearance made me want to laugh.
The maze is full of traps and mechanisms, making it difficult to keep up.
Gong Lin is agile and always manages to escape danger.
I used my spatial abilities to crack some complex mechanisms.
David followed closely behind, but he was always a step behind, and almost got injured several times, looking both comical and embarrassed.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and a huge stone ball rolled out from the depths of the passage at an astonishing speed!
"Get out of the way!" Gong Lin shouted, pulling me into a small corner...
The deafening roar of the rolling stone ball was so loud that I felt Gong Lin suddenly pull me into a recess in the stone wall.
His body shielded me tightly, his strong arms forming an unbreakable barrier, separating me from the rolling boulder.
I could feel his rapid heartbeat and the faint scent of sweat emanating from his body.
At that moment, an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in my heart and surged through my body like an electric current.
I looked up at him; his gaze was deep and unwavering, as if nothing in this world could shake his resolve.
Our eyes met, and in that instant, I seemed to see the burning love in his eyes, and his protectiveness towards me.
I returned his gentle smile, my heart filled with strength.
David, the blue-eyed thief hiding not far from us, saw the intimate gesture between the two of us and his facial muscles contorted into a grimace.
He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
He hissed in a low voice, as if the sound was being squeezed out from the depths of his throat, "Damn it, if it weren't for these two guys, the treasure would have been in my hands long ago!" His twisted appearance was both pitiful and hateful.
The tremors gradually subsided, and the stone ball stopped rolling.
We emerged from our hiding place and continued forward.
Finally, at the end of the maze, a huge stone chamber appeared before us.
In the center of the stone chamber, the treasure radiated a dazzling light, mesmerizing all who beheld it.
Gold and jewels were piled up like mountains, and all kinds of rare and exotic treasures were displayed in a dazzling array. Even the walls were inlaid with huge gemstones, making them dazzling and magnificent.
When David saw the treasure, he could no longer suppress his greed.
He pounced on it like a hungry wolf, reaching for the glittering jewels.
However, just as he was about to touch the treasure, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless ropes shot out like snakes, instantly binding him tightly.
He struggled in terror, letting out desperate cries, but the ropes tightened more and more, and his face turned a deep purplish-red.
His greedy appearance truly exemplifies the old saying, "A snake trying to swallow an elephant is never satisfied." He deserves it!
Gong Lin and I exchanged a glance and slowly walked towards the treasure.
The surrounding light seemed to sense our arrival, becoming softer and enveloping us like gentle elves.
My heart was pounding faster and faster, a mixture of longing for the treasure and fear of the unknown.
I slowly reached out my hand, my fingertips touching a corner of the treasure.
"Watch out!" Before Gong Lin's voice had even finished, I already felt a powerful force enveloping me, as if I were in a warm ocean...
A warm current instantly flowed through my body, and I felt as if I were in a hot spring, an indescribable comfort.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and I instinctively closed my eyes.
I heard Gong Lin's steady voice in my ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." I opened my eyes and found that Gong Lin and I were enveloped in a golden light.
The light was not dazzling, but rather full of gentle power. I felt my body was full of energy, as if I had inexhaustible strength.
I looked at Gong Lin, and he was looking at me too. His eyes were shining with a light that was even more dazzling than the light of a treasure.
"What...what is this?" I couldn't help but ask.
Gong Lin gripped my hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "This is the power of inheritance, the power that belongs to us." He turned to look at the treasure.
I understand now; the true value of this treasure lies not in gold and silver, but in this mysterious power.
I tried to harness this power and found that it resonated wonderfully with my space. The spiritual energy in the space became more abundant, and my spiritual power was greatly enhanced.
I felt stronger than ever before, as if no difficulty could stop me.
Meanwhile, David, bound by ropes, watched helplessly as he coveted the treasure but missed out on true wealth.
He struggled and screamed, but it was all in vain.
He could only watch helplessly as we gained the power of inheritance, while he was trapped here, forever sinking into depravity.
His contorted expression resembled that of a wild beast trapped in a snare, filled with despair and helplessness.
Just as Miya Rin and I were immersed in the joy of power, a noisy sound came from afar, growing clearer and clearer as it approached.
Footsteps, shouts, the clash of weapons...
The various sounds mingled together, breaking the tranquility of the stone chamber.
Gong Lin's expression changed, and he immediately shielded me behind him, looking around warily.
A sense of unease rose within me; this sudden sound foreshadowed a new challenge to come.
"Someone's coming," Gong Lin said in a deep voice, his tone tinged with seriousness.
I held his hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and felt a little more at ease.
who is it?
What are they doing here?
Was it for the treasure, or was there another purpose?
