Chapter 1179: Real core of the ruins (1)
“Are you sure that this is the right place?” Lin Fan couldn’t help asking after following Ye Qing Huan for a bit.
This was a place that was completely devoid of anything.
No matter how he looked around with his Appraisal Eyes, Lin Fan wasn’t able to find a single thing. With how barren it was, he really didn’t think that there would be anything special here.
But Ye Qing Huan’s expression still remained confident as she led the way.
It was as if there was something here that she saw that they just weren’t seeing at all.
So even though it seemed like a wild goose chase, Lin Fan continued following Ye Qing Huan deeper into this place.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t answer at first as she looked around as if she was looking for something specific.
But in the end, she turned back to say, “Well, it should be in this place. It’s my first time here, so I don’t actually know what I’m looking for either. I’m just following the instructions that I received to look for this place.”
A bitter smile appeared on both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao’s faces when they heard this.
Though she had seemed so confident, she was now admitting that she didn’t actually know where to go.
They really didn’t know what to say or how to react to this.
But it wasn’t as if they could turn back now.
They had already come all this way and had wasted all this time that they could have used to gather more resources. If they turned back now, it would really mean that everything that they had done was a waste of time.
So Lin Fan just said in a serious voice, “What is it that you’re looking for?”
Ye Qing Huan was surprised to hear this, but then she said, “There should be some kind of small statue here.”
“Small statue?” Lin Fan couldn’t help asking in a confused voice before looking around.
If there really was a small statue here, it wouldn’t have been hard to find it since this place was empty.
This was a place that didn’t even have any trees or plants growing since it seemed like there was something here that kept this place barren. It was just that it really didn’t seem like there was a single thing that was here.
Seeing that he couldn’t see anything, Ye Qing Huan didn’t seem surprised as she started thinking about something.
Eventually, she started moving in a deliberate manner while muttering to herself.
It seemed that she was trying to remember something as she moved.
After a while, she finally came to a stop and started looking around the spot that she stopped at as if she was looking for something.
Seeing this, Lin Fan also went over and started looking for anything that was there. But no matter how he looked for it, he couldn’t find a single thing.
After a while, Ye Qing Huan finally seemed like she had suddenly remembered something.
“Right, I completely forgot that there was something that I had to do before it would reveal itself.”
Lin Fan looked at Ye Qing Huan with a strange look as she suddenly took out a talisman.
Ye Qing Huan just used a bit of her spiritual energy to activate the talisman before suddenly throwing it out in front of her. That talisman seemed to form some kind of array in the air before this array landed on the ground.
The moment that this array landed on the ground, it seemed to cause some kind of reaction as there were ripples that appeared in that space.
These ripples continued to fluctuate for a bit before suddenly disappearing.
Once the ripples disappeared, there was something that was revealed.
Just like Ye Qing Huan had said, there was indeed a statue that was there.
The moment that the statue appeared, Lin Fan couldn’t help looking away from it.
That was because he had tried to use his Appraisal Eyes on the statue and there was some kind of resistance that came from it. It was as if there was something that was fighting against him when he tried to use his Appraisal Eyes.
Lin Fan knew exactly what this was since he had encountered a situation like this before, but he didn’t expect to encounter this situation with this statue.
It seemed that there was far more to these ruins than he had been told.
Even if he had been told that this was just a normal ruin, this was on the level of the Five Great Sects. They were the ones that had taken control of these ruins so that no one else could access them.
In the eyes of the Five Great Sects that controlled many different resources, these ruins could be considered normal.
That was why they gave this information to Ye Qing Huan to pass to Lin Fan.
But when it came to normal people, these ruins were anything but normal.
This was something that Lin Fan personally confirmed when he tried using his Appraisal Eyes on this statue.
“Is something wrong?” Both Ye Qing Huan and Mu Bao Bao noticed Lin Fan turning away, so she could tell that there was something wrong with him.
But in the end, Lin Fan just shook his head and said, “It’s fine, it’s nothing.”
The two of them still looked at him with a worried look when they heard this, but Lin Fan’s words pulled them back to the statue that was in front of them.
“Now that it’s appeared, what do we do with this thing?”
Ye Qing Huan turned to look at the statue before looking like she was trying to recall something once again.
Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help revealing bitter smiles when they saw this.
They really wished that she could have thought of all of this before bringing them here.
After she finished recalling what she wanted to recall, Ye Qing Huan just simply tapped on the statue.
Once she did, there was a reaction that came from it.
There was another array that appeared on the statue that quickly spread across the surface of the statue. It didn’t take long for this array to completely cover the surface of this statue.
When this array finished covering the statue, there was a powerful fluctuation that came from it that showed that this thing wasn’t anything normal.
But the target of this array wasn’t Lin Fan or the two that were with him.
The target of this array was the ground that was in front of the statue.
When this array finished what it was doing, there was a hole that appeared in the ground.
This was a simple hole that didn’t have anything special about it. It was a hole that one would be able to find anywhere there was a hole.
It was just that when one looked into the hole, they would see that there wasn’t a bottom to this hole. It seemed like there really wasn’t an end to this hole with how deep it was.
So there was no telling what was at the bottom of the hole…
“Well, let’s go.” Ye Qing Huan said with a smile on her face.
Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help hesitating when they looked at the hole since it was hard to believe that there was anything that was down there. All they could see when they looked at the hole was how deep and dark it was.
They didn’t think that there would actually be anything down there.
Ye Qing Huan could see the way that they looked at the hole, so she said, “Trust me, this is the real exciting place in these ruins. If you two come with me, we might be able to find something really interesting.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help shaking his head with a bitter smile when he heard this.
He knew more about Ye Qing Huan than Mu Bao Bao did, so he knew that when she said something like this…it usually was a bad thing.
But at the same time, he knew that it would be useless to say anything to her since when she was set on something, she wouldn’t change her mind that easily.
So the only thing that he could actually do was just go along with what she wanted.
Not to mention, Ye Qing Huan wouldn’t do something like this unless there was a reason for her to do something like this. So there should be something that was at the bottom of this dark hole…
No matter how much it looked like some kind of bottomless hole.
When she saw that the two of them still didn’t move when she said this, Ye Qing Huan seemed to have lost her patience as she stepped towards them.
Then before the two of them could even react, she had already grabbed the two of them and turned back to the hole. She pulled them harder than they could resist in their stunned state and went right in front of the hole before jumping.
Before jumping in, she said, “Come on, there’s no time to waste. Let’s go already.”
Bitter smiles appeared on Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao’s faces when they heard this, but there was nothing that they could do against Ye Qing Huan who was dragging them into the hole.
So they could only raise their guard to prepare for whatever was coming.
When they saw what came, they couldn’t help being shocked.
