Chapter 374 Treasure Or… (2)

As soon as the token fit into the slot on the door, there was a light that appeared around the token.
This light became stronger and stronger while spreading across the door.
Soon it reached a point where it had become too bright for the people in this room to look at. They had no choice but to squint their eyes, cover them with their arms, and turn away from the door.
But not a single person let their guard down as they released their spiritual senses around them.
If even a single thing changed in this room, they would be able to detect it immediately.
That was just how dense the spiritual sense was concentrated in this room.
In the end though, not a single thing happened in this room.
The only thing that happened was that the light around the door slowly became weaker and weaker before fading away. It faded and faded until the light completely disappeared and there was a clicking sound that came from the door.
After this clicking sound, the token dropped out of the slot and fell back into Bi Qing’s hand.
At the same time, after the token fell out of the slot, the door suddenly opened up in front of them.
But to their surprise, they found that they weren’t able to see through this door frame.
They were able to see that there was a room behind this door, but it was as if there was some kind of filter that prevented them from seeing through it. It was like there was a layer of darkness in front of them that blocked the view forward.
After overcoming the surprise that they felt, there were many people who tried sending their spiritual senses forward.
Since they weren’t able to see with their eyes, they wanted to use their spiritual senses to see.
It was just too bad that this layer of darkness also kept out all of the spiritual senses that came at it. It was like this layer of darkness formed a barrier that completely blocked everything that came at it.
So even if they were doubtful about this door, they had no choice but to go into it blind.
But before Bi Qing and her group made a move, no one else dared to make a move just in case they did anything.
Bi Qing stood there staring at this layer of darkness before knitting her brows.
It was almost as if she had seen something through this layer of darkness, or she could see that something about this layer of darkness was off.
Many of them could see this and they wanted to ask her what she saw, but they couldn’t since they weren’t that close to her in the first place.
But one of the cloaked figures around her asked, “Young miss, is something wrong?”
As soon as this was asked, everyone focused on Bi Qing, waiting for her response.
After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
Everyone couldn’t help revealing a disappointed look, but they kept their feelings to themselves.
Only Lin Fan could tell that something was off about the way that she had said it. That was because he could see with his Appraisal Eyes that there was something that changed about these cloaked figures after she said this.
After another moment of silence, Bi Qing took the first step towards the door.
The cloaked figures followed closely behind her and behind them were the other groups that had come along.
Lin Fan was about to go forward as well, but then Mu Bao Bao grabbed him by the arm and held him back.
He couldn’t help looking at her, but when he saw her shaking her head and hanging back, he understood what she meant.
Lin Fan had been planning on staying in the center of the group so that they would be able to use the other groups as meat shields just in case anything happened.
Mu Bao Bao was now telling him not to go into the center, but rather to hang around the back.
While Lin Fan was confused, he trusted her instincts and hung back with her at the back of this procession.
The ones that walked through first were Bi Qing and her group and as soon as they walked through, they disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Finally, it was Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao’s turn to walk through as well.
After stepping into the layer of darkness covering the door, there was a strange feeling that filled them.
It was a feeling of what seemed to be resonance.
It was as if there was something inside of them that was resonating with the layer of darkness that they were passing through.
As they were moving through, there was a voice that rang in the back of their heads, “It’s you.”
After they made their way through, both of them couldn’t help looking around for the source of this voice, but they weren’t able to find anything.
Both of them looked at each other with confused looks, but they didn’t let them stay on this matter for too long since they were now in an unknown place.
Both of them quickly focused their mind on what was in front of them.
After they made their way through, they found that everyone was just standing there looking around the room like they were doing.
This was a room that seemed like the hall of a large building, with many pillars on both sides of the room.
However, the strange thing was that they weren’t able to see the end of this hall. It was almost as if there wasn’t an end to this room.
But that wasn’t what most people were paying attention to.
What had caught everyone’s eyes were the items that were lining the walls.
There were common decoration items like weapons and paintings that were on the walls, but there were also strange things like pills and herbs that were also placed in holders on the wall.
However, even if they were strange, everyone was completely focused on them.
That was because every single thing that was on the wall was considered a treasure in the eyes of these people. These were all either artifacts, special pills, or precious materials used to make artifacts and pills.
These things were things that these people would have to pay a lot to find, but now they were just lining the walls.
All of these treasures immediately drew out the greed of all these people and they wanted to take every single treasure for themselves.
But not a single person made a move.
After all, they weren’t here alone, so it wasn’t as if they could rush forward to grab the treasures.
The moment that they did, they would be attacked by the others that were in the room with them.
So they all waited to see what the others would do.
The first one to make a move in the end was Bi Qing.
She walked forward as if she didn’t have any fear of the people around her and came up to one of the weapons that was hanging on the wall. As she stood there, she didn’t take the weapon off the wall and just seemed to stare at it as if she was looking for something.
Seeing her act like this, the others couldn’t help taking a look at the other treasures around them.
After their greed settled, they started thinking rationally.
Why would there just be treasures hanging on the walls around them like this?
If they thought about it carefully, this would seem like…a trap.
So they started looking carefully at the treasures, trying to figure out just what this trap was. But at the same time, some of them started looking carefully to identify the treasures, as if they were trying to see which ones were the most valuable.
After staring at it for a bit, Bi Qing reached out to grab the axe that was hanging there off the wall.
Everyone immediately raised their guards as soon as they saw her pick it up, as if they were prepared to deal with any traps that came.
However, after Bi Qing grabbed the axe off the wall, there was nothing that happened.
She just held that axe in her hand for a bit before saying with a faint smile, “Interesting, very interesting.”
After that, she raised the axe up again and placed it onto the wall once more.
Then she raised her hand and there was a sudden burst of flames that appeared around her hand. These flames burned for a while before disappearing without a trace.
Once these flames disappeared, Bi Qing gave a satisfied nod and walked back to her group of cloaked figures.
After coming back, she stood there without saying a thing.
However, one of the cloaked figures couldn’t help asking, “Young miss, should we…”
He left his words unfinished, but Bi Qing understood what he meant.
She shook her head and said, “Let’s continue. We can deal with what comes as they come.”
The cloaked figures didn’t say anything and they just followed Bi Qing as she started moving forward.
The other groups all looked at each other, but they didn’t follow Bi Qing right away.
Instead, they turned their attention to the treasures that were all over the walls.
After waiting for a few seconds, they started moving towards those treasures on the walls.
It seemed like they weren’t willing to leave these things behind.
