Chapter 29: The treasure cave

Without witnessing it with one’s own eyes, no one would ever think that Ruhr could have saved up such a huge amount of money .

Although the distance was still very far, they also didn’t know exactly how much money was there . They could only figure out that that was not a small heap of money based on the glittering light from the gems .

The glittering gold coins were stacked into a heap .

“I didn’t think . . . We could use heap to describe gold coins . ” Palin rolled his eyes and muttered to himself .

“The majority of the accumulated wealth of this brat must be from robbery . ” Gerrard said .

Rennes was the calmest among the three; it must be from his thieving career habits . He immediately moved his eyes from the gold coins heap to the ground .

After that, he took out the lighting magic wand .

This kind of black art item could provide a long-time stable cold light as it would not turn off if it was out of air and also had no problems of being drowned in the water . Except for its slightly costly price, it could basically be regarded as the most perfect lighting tool for adventurers .

Under the cold white light, this old thief carefully checked the ground and then quickly found the other traps .

Right, there are several traps here; there would probably be more traps ahead .

“Bloody Hand Ruhr is really cruel! He has clearly used the black art to block the way to the treasure place . He also set up other traps to conceal the treasure place!” Gerrard was extremely furious, “Evil! Too evil!”

“Many treasure owners have the same bad habit as him, so it is not strange . ” Rennes nonchalantly said, “That year, when I was still an adventurer, in a dead shaman’s treasure-house, I had found more than a hundred traps . ”

While he was calm saying those things, Gerrard and Palin’s faces, on the other hand, had gone green .

There were hundreds of traps inside the treasure?! Such many traps were set up like this, not to mention their little lives; their remains couldn’t have been left whole if they were to trip such traps!

“What happened next?” Palin asked .

“Two of my teammates were dead without corpses . All the traps were also completely broken . ” Rennes said indifferently, “After dividing the money, I immediately retired . ”

This subject temporarily cooled down as Rennes didn’t hurry to break the trap . He stuck the magic wand on the wall and then went back to find something .

“What are you looking for?” Gerrard asked .

“Find a departing mechanism . ” Rennes didn’t lift up his head while saying, “In here, he used the transmission black art . We have to find the departing mechanism first and activate it . In case something unexpected happens, we could also make it out alive . ”

His diverse experience earned the other two’s respects for him . However, on the one hand, they were somewhat puzzled as well . Traps were ahead of them . There was no way out in the back . They couldn’t advance or retreat out of this small space .

Palin was fine though . He took out a book and put up his lightning magic wand to read . While Gerrard was uncomfortable because of his giant body, he This place just could stand but couldn’t walk around in this cramped space, which was really suffocating .

He was about to pick up the ax to break some rocks around . However, he was afraid that he might make this place collapse and bury everyone else alive . In the end, he couldn’t do anything else but helplessly sit down . Yet, really soon, the sleepiness hit him .

Time was passing by, Rennes still orderly did his job . After Palin finished the book, he put it back into his backpack and took out another one . This one was a black art book . He read it carefully, used his fingers to sketch out some dark power lines, and did some basic researches .

Then off to Gerrard, due to being too free and bored, he had fallen asleep .

It was unknown how long it had been, but a green light suddenly flashed up . Rennes surprisingly shouted out . His body was wrapped around by that green light and instantly disappeared without a trace . Right after that, he was struggling with the mighty light from the transmission black art array for a while . An explosion sound reverberated . A dark red poison gas rose up and instantly filled up everywhere, covering both Gerrard and Palin .

Gerrard was dead asleep . He suddenly coughed intensely when breathing a mouthful of the poisonous gas . He then woke up due to the intense choke . He opened his eyes to look around but could only see the cold light from the lighting magic wand . Palin was miserably curling up on the ground . Both of his hands were catching the blood from his throat without any help .

This young shaman who liked reading books died .

Gerrard was thunderstruck . He turned around to look for Rennes, but this old thief was nowhere to be found .

“What’s happened?” Rennes? This trap is . . . ”

The poisonous gas still flooded in his trachea and lungs, making him cough intensely . The uncomfortable but not severe feeling from his nose, mouth to his throat then his trachea and lungs had interrupted his thoughts .

Being able to survive until now with the high toxin inside, not to mention the fact that he didn’t suffer from any fatal wounds once again had proved the superiority of the body that Sui Xiong had made on his own . However, in this moment, Gerrard didn’t think about this point . His heart was full of doubts and anger . Everything has changed . What on earth has happened?

“Highness . . . ” He tried to pray, but he didn’t know what he should pray .

While he was praying, Sui Xiong, who was attentively researching, was suddenly awakened . The spirit within the bone bracelet spread out and clearly saw the situation of this place .

“What’s wrong? Haven’t they gone on a treasure hunt? How can there just be one left out of three? One is dead, but if the other is dead too then where is his corpse?”

While muttering to himself, he was urging the dark power to turn into a breeze to disperse the poisonous gas .

However, this poisonous fog was really strange . After being hit by the blowing wind, it got thicker and thicker as the dark red fog completely covered the cave that even if someone was to put their hands out, they could not see their fingers .

“Dang it! After overcoming it, I still have to encounter another smog . This world is all dregs!” Sui Xiong murmured and meticulously analyzed the ingredients of the poisonous gas . Suddenly his dark power shook and then turned into a halo of gentle green light, slowly spreading out .

This time, the power of the green light neutralized the dark power of the poisonous gas . Wherever it is that the green light came from, the dark red poisonous gas immediately vanished through it .

It was like performing a magic trick . The green aperture had scanned around the cave once and the red poison gas vanished completely without a trace as if it had never existed .

“Gerrard, what on earth happened?”

“Highness, I . . . I don’t know either . ” Gerrard anxiously said, “After I woke up, everything was like this . ”

“ . . . You can still sleep when you are on a treasure hunt, what a talented man!” Sui Xiong sighed, “there is nothing I can do but ask another person . ”

There is still another person to ask here? Gerrard was dumbstruck .

He just vaguely saw a dark air emitting out from the bone bracelet and then slowly dissipating in the air . A kind of gloomy and obscure atmosphere was presented everywhere, making people feel heavy .

After a while, on Palin’s dead body, countless tiny sparks flew up and slowly gathered around the indistinct human body .

“Highness, is this Palin’s spirit?”

“No, it is just a remnant of his corporeal body . ” Sui Xiong explained, “His spirit has arrived at the kingdom of the dead, these kinds of memorial stuff don’t only exist in his spirit but also in his body . Right now, I am activating the memory in his body to give his body another gust of vitality . Like this . . . ”

“He can live again?” Gerrard excitingly asked .

Sui Xiong hesitated for a while without knowing how to answer .

If it was on Earth, one person could recover their vitality, and their mind was also alive again; it would definitely be a resurrection . Even if he were facing a big senior who got a Nobel Prize in Medicine, he would have also dared to hold his head high in claiming it .

But in this world, life wasn’t limited to the body matter as it had a more important factor which was the spirit . Palin’s spirit had already gone to the underworld . Unless he could get Palin’s spirit back from the underworld and put it back to this body, it couldn’t be claimed as “resuscitation” .

Technically speaking, right now Palin was just a body without a soul .

When the human body had slowly finished forming, Sui Xiong put the green light into the corpse of the young man and the wounds on the surface of the body quickly recovered . More and more vigors burst out from his body . His pale cheeks had once again regained their colors .

An invisible power of memorial remnants formed into a human shape and then flowed into the body .

In the next blink, the young man opened his eyes .

In the beginning, his eyes were a little bit perplexed . After a while, his eyes slowly recovered its vision, and his mind also became clearer .

“Haven’t I . . . already died?” He hesitantly said, “As I remember . . . I was killed by the Impassable Cloud Spell . . . ”

“You are right . You’ve died, but you also resurrect . ” Gerrard smilingly said . “Life and death are not things mortal people like us can handle . Tell me what exactly has happened . ”

Therefore, Palin gave up thinking about some of the philosophical problems and was deep in his memory .

“I was reading a book then heard Rennes’s surprising shout . I lifted my head up just in time and saw that he was taken away by the transmission array . The trap immediately erupted, and a red impassable cloud flooded in . Before I could escape, the impassable cloud had covered me up . My throat and chest were hurt badly . After that, I didn’t know anything else —– until the resurrection . "

“If this is the case, then the things that happened when Rennes had tripped the trap was an accident?” Gerrard muttered to himself irresolutely, “I don’t know how his situation is . . . . I hope that there is nothing bad that had happened to him . ”

In this moment, Sui Xiong beamed a cold smile .

“Don’t worry . Nothing has happened to him . He’s very healthy right now!”

A streak of green light shot out from the bone bracelet and then turned into a translucent screen in the air . The screen showed the forest where the treasure was located .

Rennes was busy digging the ground as Sui Xiong zoomed in his face, all he could see was his smiling expression which was joyfully satisfactory .

No need to say anything, no need to consider anything else, he could know exactly what had happened judging from this expression .

“Hateful!” Gerrard angrily roared, “This despicable old thief! I won’t forgive him!”

“So, it was him . . . plotting against us . . . . ” Palin didn’t want to believe this and shook his head, “Why did he need to do this? Is it perhaps to monopolize the treasure?”

“Why did he have to do this? Just keep on watching to figure out . ” Sui Xiong’s voice resounded in the air, “Let’s temporarily constrain our angers to see what exactly this cunning old man wants to do . ”

“I believe everything from the beginning till the end will appear in plain sight soon . . . ”
