Chapter 596 - Windgod Treasury
"Be careful. If this bridge go off, we all will fall directly to the pit. And no one knows what kind of thing awaits us there." The old man warned, "Even I cannot guarantee my safety there."
Louise, Zacharite, and Schwal became more careful. They couldn't afford to be careful or else it might cause their lives.
Jin Rou smiled and nodded. He also knew the consequences if they ever fall off this bridge. Of course, he was confident in protecting himself and staying alive. However, he didn't know if he could protect the three at the same time.
They took each step slowly but surely, clearly knowing when to step and when to bring force to it.
After several minutes of being careful, they finally arrived at the end of the bridge. They successfully crossed it without any problems.
What lied on the other side of the bridge was a large cave that was towering up to the sky. It released an archaic vibe, meant that it had been there since the start of time.
"This is the Windgod'z treasury I'm talking about." The old man said, "Inside is the door to open the treasury."
"Alright, bring us in. We can't afford to waste time." Jin Rou said in a hurry.
---
After entering the cave, they had to walk for more than 30 minutes before reaching the certain place. The cave was truly vast and it had so many ways to go. If you ever tried your luck here, you might get lost and couldn't come back forever.
It was twin large door with different markings on it. It was painted with black hue that was emerging from time to time. One look and you could already determine that this wasn't an ordinary door leading to an ordinary room.
"I'm getting bad vibes from this." Louise was sensitive to auras. So she could feel that if ever they opened this door, it would be catastrophic.
Jin Rou chuckled. Of course, he was also aware of that. However, he already promised the other party of this. So naturally, he would keep the end of his promise, "Okay, time to open this door now."
Even for apex existences like the old man, this door was so impossible to open. After all, it had no knob or whatever to open the door. You have to uncover the mysteries painted in the door so that it would open.
Discovering mysteries wasn't difficult, deciphering mysteries was. Moreover, it also had some secrets that needed to be unearthed. It was a very difficult task to do so and Windgod Perfect Immortal made sure of it.
Jin Rou touched the door and closed his eyes, "Winds don't fall, it emerges in all direction like hope."
"Buzz!" The markings on the door made a sound and shone. Afterwards, the door slowly opened with a heavy creaking sound.
The old man gasped from this. It wasn't yet long but Jin Rou already grasped the mysteries of the door! How was that possible? How high his comprehension skills must be that he even lost to it?
Fortunately, he was smart enough to take a step back a while ago. If not, he might be dead as of now.
"The door is open. Shall we enter?" Jin Rou smirked. He was very curious what kind of things lie inside also.
"Yes, of course." The old man grew excited and entered first following Jin Rou and the others.
And when everyone entered, what lay before their eyes wasn't a treasure trove or something. It was just a mere room for emperors with three statues on the three sides. Each statue was a towering figure that could stomp anyone to death.
By the end of the room, there was a floating scroll covered with green aura.
"That must be it." The old man knew that the scroll was the thing he was looking for.
He was about to go and grab it when Jin Rou warned him, "If you grab it, these statues will move and will try to kill us no matter what. And judging by their hidden auras, they could rival even apex existences like you. Thus, you might have some difficulty dealing with them."
"The statues will move?" The old man felt his back sweat. He almost went suicidal. Thankfully, Jin Rou had the heart to warn him or else it would be a bitter end for him.
"Yes. That scroll is very ancient and it has some kind of power, I can feel it." Jin Rou turned serious, "Even I cannot distinguish what kind of power is it, but I know that it is very dangerous."
"So what do you suggest, then?" The old man felt helpless. The other party had no reason to lie to him so he believed in him.
"I can give you two choices." Jin Rou said, "One, you can grab the scroll but you have to fend off for yourself. Two, I can help you activate something to release the hidden treasure trove of this place."
"There is a treasure trove in this sad space?" Louise widened her eyes. All she could see was statues and its eerie feeling.
"Of course, there is. Windgod is just smart enough to make anyone enter this that it has no treasures except the scroll." Jin Rou smirked. He had to give it to the previous immortal. He knew what to do.
In reality, each of the statues had the will of Windgod. So if ever the old man was devoured by greed, he would surely die. Jin Rou had already helped the other party this much. He couldn't help more than this.
"If I fight against the three statues, how much odds do I have?" The old man asked for Jin Rou's opinion.
"0%." Jin Rou shook his head, "Even at your peak state, you have no chance of winning against the three. Of course, it will be different if you only fight one."
The old man sighed upon hearing this. He already expected this as well. Nevertheless, at the very least, he wouldn't leave this place without getting anything.
