The door opened quietly. It was pitch black inside. Nothing could be seen. It was like the mouth of a huge beast. Anyone who entered would be devoured.
Lu Li was excited but he didn't show it. He forced himself to calm down. There must be more than meets the eye inside.
He winked at the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior and said, "You, lead the way!"
The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior put on a long face and walked toward the door.
Lu Li and Leng Wuxin followed him closely. Their Quasi Relic armors emerged.
"Buzzing!"
The three of them went in one after another. Lu Li saw a white glare and then he found himself in a small hall.
The three of them didn't move at all, fearing that they might trigger the Inhibition Formation. They looked around and soon fixed their eyes on a table right in front of them.
The small hall was empty. There was only a table, a large door, and a teleportation array!
The door was more magnificent than the one outside. It might be a passageway to the main hall.
The Teleportation Formation was more likely to send them out of the small hall. There was a faint white glare on the wall, lighting up the entire hall.
The reason why they were paying attention to the table was that there was a black wooden box on it. Needless to say, there must be treasures inside if there was a wooden box in a place like this!
Lu Li didn't move. He looked around. To his surprise, there was no Feather Wind or Inhibition Formation.
He winked at the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior. The latter began to walk toward the table step by step.
Leng Wuxin had to stand still without Lu Li's order.
One step, two steps, 10 steps!
The journey was safe. The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior arrived at the table easily. He looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li nodded. The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior reached the black jade box.
"Swish, swish ~"
When the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior touched the jade box, the ceiling of the small hall suddenly lit up.
Thunderbolts gathered. A surge of horrifying qi and energy enveloped the entire small hall. A black thunderbolt struck down.
Even though the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior stepped back at once, the thunderbolt still hit him accurately …
"Ah ~"
The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was in a miserable state. His body was burning with black smoke. He rolled around on the ground and kept howling.
Soon, he couldn't even scream as he was burned alive by the raging flames.
Lu Li and Leng Wuxin didn't move. They watched as the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior died. They watched as his Quasi Relic armor fell off and he became a charred corpse …
Both looked terrible. Lu Li was taken aback. Luckily, he had sent the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior to explore the way first. Otherwise, he would be the one dead now.
Leng Wuxin was afraid that it would be Lu Li who told her to open the wooden box. If that happened, she would end up as a dead body as well.
The atmosphere in the small hall was particularly oppressive, and there was a smell of burnt meat.
Lu Li said nothing. He looked at the wooden box and thought about it over and over.
Without a doubt …
There must be a treasure in this wooden box. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a terrifying restriction.
The restriction was set up by Emperor Heng to prevent others from obtaining the treasures so easily.
This restriction could easily kill an Earth Immortal, so the treasure inside was definitely not an ordinary Quasi Relic.
Even if it wasn't one of Emperor Heng's two divine artifacts, it was definitely a heaven-defying treasure.
The problem was how to get it?
Lu Li's eyes flickered. He put away the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior's Quasi Relic and Interspatial Ring.
He walked around the small hall carefully, looking around. It was a pity that there was no Feather Wind here. If there was, he could use dragons of wind to explore the way.
Lu Li walked through all the areas in the small hall with great care. Apart from the table, the other areas were safe.
What disappointed him was … he didn't find any clues. The other areas in the small hall were safe.
Leng Wuxin had been looking around as well, but she didn't find any clues. Lu Li and Leng Wuxin looked at each other. Both felt helpless.
If they didn't open the jade box, they could not take out the treasure inside.
What if thunderbolts struck them when they opened the jade box?
Not only did Lu Li not dare to touch the jade box himself, but he also didn't want Leng Wuxin to do it. If Leng Wuxin died, nobody would make the antidote for him.
He saw the treasure but he didn't have the courage to take it!
Lu Li was frustrated. He walked to the table and stared at the wooden box, trying to find some secrets from it.
The wooden box was old. It was also carved with mysterious patterns of beasts. There was a faint glow in the patterns, and some mysterious runes were looming on the wooden box.
"Is this wooden box a Quasi Relic?"
Lu Li was not sure. He stared at the wooden box for a long time but found no secrets.
He was in a dilemma. He couldn't decide whether to give up or take it.
He could either find a way to enter the inner hall, take the Teleportation Formation and leave, or risk his life to get the treasure!
Enter the inner hall?
Lu Li didn't even consider it.
This small hall was so dangerous. Even if he could enter the inner hall, would he have the courage to take the Relic weapons and armors?
If he left now, he might be teleported out. His life would be saved, but this trip would be in vain.
Lu Li stared at the wooden box with a frown. He began to put himself in Emperor Heng's shoes. If he were in Emperor Heng's shoes, what was the meaning of this Inhibition Formation?
Was it to give people hope and then despair?
Was there a treasure but no one could get it?
Emperor Heng wouldn't be so senseless. Clearly, the treasure was here for the destined one.
Leng Wuxin stood next to Lu Li nervously, waiting for his decision.
The time for one incense stick to burn, two, three. All of a sudden, Leng Wuxin's eyes were filled with terror!
Because Lu Li closed his eyes and slowly reached out his hand towards the wooden box.
Leng Wuxin trembled. If Lu Li died, she might die with him. When Lu Li died, the soul seed would go berserk. By then, her soul might collapse …
However!
She could not disobey Lu Li's order. She stared at Lu Li's hand that was reaching toward the wooden box.
Three feet, three and a half feet!
Lu Li's hand stopped in front of the wooden box. Leng Wuxin's heart was hanging in the air. Lu Li seemed to be in a dilemma. He was struggling inside.
He paused for the time for 10 breaths …
Lu Li made up his mind. He reached his hand forward and put it on the wooden box.
Leng Wuxin couldn't bear to watch. She closed her eyes in fear and opened her mouth, waiting for the thunderbolts to strike down.
"Swish, swish ~"
The Inhibition Formation glowed. A surge of horrifying qi and energy spread out.
At that moment, both Lu Li and Leng Wuxin had lost all hope. Lu Li didn't even step back.
The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was killed. It was proof that he would die no matter where he went.
He had lost the gamble. Losing this kind of gamble meant death!
"Swish, swish!"
A huge thunderbolt whooshed down directly toward Lu Li.
The dazzling white glare enveloped Lu Li. Even Leng Wuxin, who had her eyes closed, felt she had lost her sight.
The thunderbolt dissipated after it came down. Leng Wuxin waited for the time for three breaths but she heard no scream from Lu Li.
She opened her eyes in surprise, only to find that Lu Li had disappeared. He had vanished into thin air.
"Has he been blasted into ashes?"
Leng Wuxin blinked. Soon, she came to her senses and shouted, "No, Lu Li is not dead —"
Lu Li had a Quasi Relic. Even if he was killed, the Quasi Relic would come off automatically.
What was more, Leng Wuxin felt the spiritual connection with Lu Li was still there, which meant that Lu Li was still alive.
"He made the right bet!"
Leng Wuxin was both envious and jealous. As a matter of fact, she had been wondering — the second person to touch the wooden box might not die. It was possible that Emperor Heng was testing the courage of the newcomer. After all, a warrior who was afraid of death would not achieve much.
"Where is Lu Li being teleported to?
What will he get? "
