A low rumbling sound echoed in the room. The heavy stone door was pushed open and leaned against the wall on both sides.
A faint green light surged out from within, instantly occupying the entire stone room. Everyone's eyes had turned into a lustrous green.
Traces of gloomy and cold aura, accompanied by the green light, were like invisible threads that gently tickled everyone's exposed skin.
Their pulse and blood flow … slowed down by half a beat. They felt their bodies stiffen.
Behind the door was a long corridor. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there was a lampstand that looked like a shrine at regular intervals. On the lampstands were fist-sized unknown pearls that were emitting a faint green light.
If one looked carefully, one could almost see a small worm moving around in the pearls.
The ground was littered with human skeletons. At a glance, there were too many to count. All the way to the end of the tunnel, the ground was littered with skeletons, making it impossible to find a foothold.
The green light shone on the pile of skeletons and dyed it with a layer of chilling aura.
Everyone looked at the skeletons in the corridor and was speechless. Their bodies were wrapped in an inexplicable chill.
"These … are all people who came before us?" someone asked with a trembling voice.
The skeletons on the ground were the most obvious warning sign.
"So what? Since we're already here, are you going to back out?" A braver person glanced at the person who almost couldn't speak properly with disdain.
"Those glowing pearls seem to be luminous pearls. They must be worth a lot of money," someone said greedily.
"Why don't we pry the pearls out and leave? There are enough pearls to go around! "
"Yes, yes. So many people died at the entrance. It must be more dangerous inside. Anyway, there are so many luminous pearls. If we sell them all, it will be worth a lot of money."
The ordinary people who were not frightened by the consciousness on the stone door were more inclined to pry the pearls out and leave when they saw the luminous pearls and the skeletons.
Uncle Li glanced at the people who were eyeing the luminous pearls. His eyes flashed with disdain. After all, they were ordinary people who had not come into contact with the consciousness. Although they were strong, they were not confident enough to enter a dangerous place.
Just the luminous pearl at the entrance was enough to satisfy them … What an insult to the reputation of Staji's Mausoleum.
The people who proposed to leave after taking the night-luminescent pearl were all ordinary people, but Uncle Li and the other telekinesis users didn't express their opinions. Obviously, the two sides didn't see the same thing.
Uncle Li and the others thought that if there were so many luminous pearls at the entrance, then what about the depths of the mausoleum? There would probably be a lot of rare treasures.
Biscay was a One Star Gem Hunter. What she liked was gems. She didn't dare to be interested in these Night-Luminescent Pearls. Seeing that this group of people wasn't interested, she felt a little impatient, but she didn't show it.
An Tongmu, who had been deliberately eliminating his presence, stood in the corner expressionlessly. He seemed to be planning to go with the flow, but he also knew that the ordinary people in the team would be satisfied with what they had, but the telekinetic ability users would definitely not.
This wasn't him thinking too highly of himself. It was just that the higher one's level was, the further one could see. He wouldn't be attracted by the luminous pearls in front of him, nor would he be frightened by the skeletons on the ground.
The people standing at the entrance of the tunnel all thought that the glowing beads on the wall were luminous pearls, so they didn't notice anything strange about the beads.
Just as everyone stopped, Law checked the two-headed bird relief on the stone door. His behavior didn't look like a treasure hunter who came for the mausoleum, but more like a Ruin Hunter.
The two-headed bird's entire body occupied the stone door, and half of the two-headed bird's body was on each stone door.
"With Palo City's carving skills, they shouldn't have carved such a crude relief." Law stared at the ferocious-looking two-headed bird relief and thought silently. He didn't notice that Biscay was observing him.
At this moment, the ordinary people who advocated taking the night-luminescent pearls and leaving began to take action.
Regarding this, Uncle Li and the others neither objected to their actions, nor did they help.
Seeing that Uncle Li and the others were indifferent, this group of people didn't care. They took out heavier tools and threw them into the tunnel.
Tools like manuscripts and shovels landed on the skeletons on the ground, producing a few ear-piercing sounds. The skeletons that were slightly affected suddenly turned into a pile of powder that filled the tunnel.
Everyone could clearly see that even the skeletons that were lightly touched were like weathered stone sculptures. In the blink of an eye, they turned into bone dust and drifted away.
Upon seeing this scene, the scene fell silent again.
Law also stood up and looked sideways at the dozen or so ordinary people beside him. He wouldn't participate or interfere. If these night-luminescent pearls had thoughts, he would definitely participate.
Gulp …
In the quiet stone chamber, the sound of gulping was abnormally clear.
After a pause, the greed in their hearts prevailed. The group of ordinary people carefully walked into the tunnel. The skeletons that they touched turned into bone dust.
There were just too many night-luminescent pearls. At a glance, there were at least a hundred of them. When they turned the corner at the end, there might be another long night-luminescent pearl corridor.
With so many pearls, there was no need to worry about not having enough to share.
"Uncle Li, we took it first."
After walking for a while, the tunnel was quiet. The group of people secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted at Uncle Li at the entrance of the tunnel.
Uncle Li just smiled, his eyes behind the lens were indifferent. The other telekinesis ability users were silently watching the dozen or so ordinary people who entered the tunnel.
From the current point of view, there seemed to be no traps in the tunnel, and the skeletons on the ground were intact. There were no obvious injuries on the bones.
After confirming that it was safe, the members who entered the tunnel began to pry the night-luminescent pearls.
They were very cautious and all wore gloves. When they touched the night-luminescent pearls, they found that they didn't need to pry them at all.
From entering the tunnel to taking the night-luminescent pearls, everything went smoothly.
The members looked at the night-luminescent pearls in their hands and all showed an excited expression. They didn't hide the greed in their eyes.
"It seems that there are no traps, but these skeletons … Are they the workers who built the mausoleum?" Uncle Li thought.
At this moment, the people who were holding the night-luminescent pearls silently fell to the ground. The night-luminescent pearls fell out of their hands and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and rolling out.
"Huh?"
This sudden scene startled the people standing at the entrance of the tunnel.
"Dead." One of the telekinesis ability users glanced at the people who fell to the ground and found that they were no longer leaking air. Therefore, he made a judgment.
"Is it poison …?" Uncle Li glanced at the night-luminescent pearls. These people suddenly died because they touched the night-luminescent pearls. Even if it was poison, how strong must it be to be able to take effect so quickly? Moreover, these people all wore gloves, how could they be poisoned?
Luo Leng looked at the excited corpses on the ground and didn't say anything.
Less than five seconds after the group of people fell to the ground, a sudden change occurred.
The green light emitted by the night-luminescent pearls in the tunnel suddenly disappeared. A moment later, unknown insects with fluorescent bodies drilled out of the pearls, flapped their wings and flew up, making a buzzing sound.
Then, the winged insects flew towards the people at the entrance of the tunnel.
With the help of the fluorescent light, they could clearly see the glowing patterns on the insects' bodies. It was a miniature human face, about the size of a baby's fist. When they flew up together, they looked like a group of fireflies by the lake.
