The place where the Wordless Stone Tablet was located was a flat platform, and not far behind the Stone Tablet was a mountain wall.
Before the Space's upgrade, this mountain wall was completely barren, and besides being very flat, there was nothing unusual about it.
But when Xia Ruofei stepped onto the flat platform, the first thing he saw was that there was a dark cave in the mountain wall. The entrance of the cave was very flat, and it was obviously not naturally formed.
Xia Ruofei stood there dumbfounded, staring at the cave for a long time.
This should be the second place in the Space where there were artificial traces, the first being the Wordless Stone Tablet.
Xia Ruofei looked at the entrance of the cave, and his heart felt a little scared.
The original Wordless Stone Tablet was fine, and although Xia Ruofei also knew that this Wordless Stone Tablet was extraordinary, after all, it was just a small Wordless Stone Tablet.
But now, it was a big cave! The pitch-black hole was like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open. In this quiet space, there was a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.
Xia Ruofei stood there blankly, and many thoughts appeared in his mind.
What was inside this cave that appeared out of thin air? Was there any danger? Could there be a living person inside?
After obtaining the Ring-Tu space for so long, Xia Ruofei had always been the only master of this Space, and his control of the Space had been increasing day by day. Now that a cave had suddenly appeared, Xia Ruofei's heart inexplicably felt a trace of panic.
At this moment, he was not in the mood to investigate whether the Wordless Stone Tablet had changed after the Space's upgrade, and all his energy was focused on the cave.
Xia Ruofei tried to release his mind, and wanted to see if he could investigate.
However, the cave entrance seemed to have an invisible barrier, and his mind could not penetrate into the cave.
It seemed that he could only go in and see for himself.
Although Xia Ruofei did not have any confidence, and he did not want to enter the cave, now that it had appeared, it was a very big uncertain factor, and no matter what, he could not leave it alone.
Xia Ruofei approached the cave step by step. He walked very slowly, but each step was very stable. Furthermore, his breathing was adjusted to the best state. All the muscles in his body were taut. Once there was any movement, he would be able to react immediately.
When he arrived at the cave entrance, Xia Ruofei pulled out the military dagger from his waist, held it in his hand, and then took a deep breath, and stepped into the cave …
The highest point of the cave was about two meters, and the width was about 1.5 meters.
As soon as Xia Ruofei entered the cave, he felt that it was very dark, so he took out a strong flashlight, turned it on, and shone it inside. He found that it was a relatively narrow and straight tunnel, and the walls were very smooth, obviously man-made.
Xia Ruofei walked in carefully, and his high-top leather boots made a clacking sound when they touched the stone floor. It formed a series of echoes in the cave, and the atmosphere became more tense.
The tunnel was about 50 meters long, and Xia Ruofei maintained a high level of vigilance as he moved forward.
Gradually, he found that the tunnel seemed to be slanted downwards, which meant that he had been going downhill, and was getting closer and closer to the mountainside.
As he moved forward, Xia Ruofei kept shining the strong flashlight on the walls and ceiling of the cave, but he did not find anything.
After a while, Xia Ruofei walked to the end of the tunnel.
After getting closer, Xia Ruofei found that there was a ninety-degree turn. Xia Ruofei shone the flashlight, but he still did not find anything.
He gritted his teeth and stepped into the new tunnel on the right.
As soon as Xia Ruofei entered, he felt that the spiritual energy inside seemed to be denser than outside, and it was no longer an environment where he could not see his own fingers. There was something inlaid on the ceiling of the cave every seven or eight meters, emitting a faint glow, and illuminating the tunnel.
Xia Ruofei shone the flashlight on the source of the light, and found that the glowing thing was an egg-sized spherical object.
"Could this be the legendary Night-Luminescent Pearl?" Xia Ruofei could not help but talk to himself.
Because the tunnel was slanted downwards, and because of the turning factor, the new tunnel should not have any light, but after Xia Ruofei entered, he found that the tunnel was not dark at all.
Although the faint glow did not illuminate the tunnel as bright as day, at least he could see the path clearly.
Xia Ruofei did not put away the strong flashlight. He held the military dagger in one hand and the strong flashlight in the other as he continued to walk in.
This new passageway was even shorter, only about a dozen meters long.
Soon, Xia Ruofei reached the end of the new tunnel.
His eyes suddenly lit up …
At the end of the new tunnel was another turn, and then a stone room appeared.
The light in the stone room was much brighter than in the tunnel, and it was also the same faint yellow glow.
Xia Ruofei stood at the door of the stone room, and he could see that the walls and ceiling of the stone room were inlaid with many of the same glowing beads that he saw in the new tunnel, and they lit up the entire stone room.
Xia Ruofei stood at the door for a moment, and then walked in. Although he did not know if there would be any danger inside, since he had already come this far, he naturally could not turn back.
He maintained a high level of vigilance and stepped into the stone room with one foot.
The various dangerous traps and hidden weapons that he had imagined did not appear, and everything was calm.
However, Xia Ruofei did not let down his guard. He slowly walked into the stone room, his right hand holding the sharp military dagger tightly.
He quickly observed the environment of the stone room.
The stone room was not big, probably about ten to twenty square meters. Other than the entrance that Xia Ruofei had just entered, there were no other passageways. Of course, he did not know if there were any hidden passageways for the time being.
Xia Ruofei's worry that a stranger would appear did not exist. There were not many things in the stone room, and he could almost see everything at a glance.
In the innermost position was a small stone bed, which was actually a large piece of stone. However, from its flatness and the fact that there was a stone slab on the side of the wall that was obviously a pillow, Xia Ruofei judged that it should be a bed.
There was also a round pancake on the stone bed. It looked like a stone, but it also looked like a jade. Xia Ruofei could not tell what material it was at the moment, but from its appearance, it looked like a praying mat that he had seen in movies and TV shows.
Then, there was a stone table and two stone chairs in the stone room. The small stone room still seemed somewhat empty.
Xia Ruofei's attention quickly focused on the stone table.
The stone table was larger than an ordinary desk used at home. Although there was nothing on it, there was a round protrusion that was very eye-catching and somewhat abrupt.
Xia Ruofei carefully walked to the stone table, slowly reached out his hand, and carefully touched the round protrusion.
There was no reaction …
Xia Ruofei tried to turn it, and then found that it did not move at all.
Still not working?
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment, and simply pressed down with force.
This time, it seemed that he had found the right way. The round protrusion was immediately pressed into the table by Xia Ruofei.
Then, Xia Ruofei heard a series of cracking sounds. He quickly assumed a defensive posture, and was fully alert for any unknown danger that might appear.
There was still no danger, and Xia Ruofei's posture was in vain.
But what happened next still made Xia Ruofei's eyes widen uncontrollably.
On the ground next to the stone table, two stone slabs slid to the sides, and then a one-meter square stone platform slowly rose with a creaking sound. The stone platform was shrouded in a layer of misty green light.
Xia Ruofei subconsciously took a step back, and his face was full of vigilance.
After a full two or three minutes, with a cracking sound, the stone platform rose into place, and was basically level with the stone table.
Xia Ruofei looked over and saw that there were five light balls of various sizes on the stone platform. The light balls were all wrapped in things, and they were faintly discernible.
From left to right, the first light ball seemed to contain a thin booklet, while the second to fourth light balls each contained a palm-sized jade tablet. They all looked similar, and the last light ball contained a small jade box.
Xia Ruofei walked to the side of the stone platform, and with a trace of curiosity, slowly reached out to the rightmost light ball. The booklet on the left looked the most shabby. Xia Ruofei believed that the most valuable thing should be the rightmost jade box, so he went straight for it.
Unfortunately, this ball of light seemed to have the same effect as the spatial membrane. His hand couldn't penetrate it at all. A gentle but extremely tenacious repulsive force prevented his hand from penetrating the ball of light.
Xia Ruofei gritted his teeth and increased his strength, but it was no use.
He then used his mind to mobilize the power of space to try to force his way in, but after a long time, it was still in vain.
The more strength Xia Ruofei exerted, the greater the repulsive force, and it maintained a delicate balance. The jade box lay quietly inside the light ball, and Xia Ruofei could only look at it, unable to reach it.
He helplessly smiled bitterly and changed his target to the second light ball from the right. There was a jade tablet inside, and it was closest to the jade box, so it should be more valuable than the other three things.
Unfortunately, the situation was the same as before. No matter how hard Xia Ruofei tried, he could only see it but not touch it, and he could not break through the protection of the light ball.
Xia Ruofei did not believe it and turned to the third light ball from the right.
Failure.
The fourth light ball from the right.
It was still a failure …
Xia Ruofei felt that he had used all his strength, but he still could not shake those light balls. However, he could also feel that among these light balls, the first one on the right had the strongest defense. When it came to the fourth light ball from the right, Xia Ruofei could already make the light ball sway slightly, as if it could break through at any time.
But it was just a little short, and no matter how hard he tried, it was still a little short.
Xia Ruofei could only change his target to the last one, which was the first one on the left. There was a small book inside the light ball.
He clenched his right hand and used all his strength to break through, but the familiar repulsive force was ineffective …
Xia Ruofei's mind moved, and the invisible power of space combined with his body's strength, and he tried again!
The light ball's halo began to sway slightly.
Xia Ruofei gritted his teeth and continued to increase his strength, and the light ball's sway became more and more intense.
Finally, Xia Ruofei roared and used all his strength to push inside, and the power of the five elements of space also erupted with a huge force at the same time.
With a "pop" sound, the extremely flexible light ball finally broke, turning into specks of light and disappearing in the stone room.
Xia Ruofei was sweating profusely at this time, and he was panting heavily. He was really about to lose all his strength.
He did not expect that a seemingly fragile light ball would have such a strong defense.
Xia Ruofei felt that the strength he used just now could even bend a steel pipe, but he only barely managed to break through.
He looked at the four light balls next to him and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
He did not know when he would be able to break them …
Xia Ruofei believed that as his strength continued to increase, there would definitely be a day when he would be able to break them. As for now, he could only look at the things in the light balls enviously.
Soon, Xia Ruofei recovered some of his strength, and he immediately focused his attention on the thin booklet.
Xia Ruofei slowly reached out his hand and grabbed the booklet.
Without the defense of the light ball, Xia Ruofei easily grabbed the booklet in his hand.
It felt a little silky to the touch. This booklet did not seem to be made of ordinary paper, but more like silk. However, it was harder than silk, and it could assume the state of ordinary paper. Moreover, the faintly discernible golden light that appeared on its surface made Xia Ruofei realize that this was not as simple as ordinary silk.
Because he tried, it was impossible to tear this booklet apart with his strength. If it was ordinary silk, he would only need to use a little strength to tear it apart easily.
