Chapter 112 The Revelation of Legend.
After Jun Luochuan and Su Yao fled the crumbling stone chamber, which resembled an imminent eruption of a volcano, they were both panting heavily, like exhausted oxen, as if trying to inhale all the air in the valley.
"Oh my god, I was almost buried alive in there! That was so dangerous! I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat!" Su Yao said, patting her heaving chest. Her face was as white as paper, like a pear blossom that had been hit by frost.
Jun Luochuan quickly adjusted his breathing, forcing himself to detach himself from the thrilling scene just now. His deep eyes fell into deep thought, like two bottomless pools.
“That ancient legend is no ordinary one; it must contain some hidden secrets that might provide crucial insights for us in our pursuit of these intricate, labyrinthine clues,” he murmured to himself, his voice low and solemn, like the tolling of an ancient bell echoing through the silent valley.
Like a curious kitten, Su Yao quickly came closer, blinking her large, clear eyes like autumn water, and asked eagerly, "So what did you think of? Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Jun Luochuan rolled his eyes at her, his gaze as cold as a gust of wind. "Don't make a fuss. Let my clever brain think about this."
Su Yao pouted, her little mouth pursed like a wronged child: "Hmph, why are you being so fierce? I was just concerned."
Jun Luochuan's thoughts raced like a wild horse, recalling the legendary tale of immortals sacrificing their lives to seal away magical artifacts and the tragic scene of trapping the evil forces in the valley. A sudden flash of insight struck him, like lightning illuminating the chaotic night sky. He realized that perhaps that mysterious letter held the key to unlocking the seal on the evil forces.
"If that's the case, then we're in real trouble." Jun Luochuan frowned deeply, his brows like two intertwined thorns, filled with worry and unease.
Su Yao's eyes widened, round and bright like two plump grapes. "What should we do? We absolutely cannot let this terrible thing happen!" Her voice trembled, like a candle flame flickering in the wind.
Jun Luochuan's gaze instantly hardened, like a spear forged from steel. "We must find that mysterious artifact first and nip any potential disaster in the bud." His words were resounding, as if he were making a firm vow to fate.
Su Yao nodded vigorously, her head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice. "Yes, yes, let's get started quickly, time waits for no one!"
So, like two hounds with keen sense of smell, they continued to search for precious clues in this treacherous valley, not letting go of any possibility, no matter how slight.
"Where do you think this mysterious treasure is hidden? It feels like searching for a needle in a haystack," Su Yao muttered to herself as she walked carefully.
Jun Luochuan was intently observing every blade of grass, every stone, and every inch of soil around him, not missing a single clue. "According to the description in that legend, it should be in an extremely hidden and dangerous place, like a demon's lair hidden in the depths of darkness."
Just then, their gaze was drawn to strange symbols that were faintly visible on the edge of a cliff.
Su Yao was so excited, as if she had discovered a new continent, that she danced around and shouted, "Could this be the key clue we've been searching for?"
Jun Luochuan approached with steady steps, his eyes sharp, and examined the object carefully. "It's possible, but we'll need to put in some effort to decipher the profound meaning behind these symbols that seem like celestial script."
After racking his brains over the research, Jun Luochuan's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope in this fog.
“I think this is very likely a mysterious marker guiding us deeper into the valley.” There was a hint of excitement in his voice.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Su Yao's face, like dark clouds obscuring the sun. "The depths of the valley? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous? Perhaps there are even more unknown horrors waiting for us."
Jun Luochuan glanced at her sideways, his eyes full of provocation, "If you're scared, you can go home now, and I won't stop you."
Upon hearing this, Su Yao immediately puffed out her chest, like a spirited little rooster, "Who's afraid? Let's go then, I won't back down at the last minute!"
So, they resolutely strode into the depths of that unknown and dangerous valley...
