[Since we already know that Ye Chen might come here in the future. There's no need to destroy the traps and organs here. Wouldn't it be better to leave them intact for Ye Chen to practice? Hehehe~]
[No, that won't do! I need to make it even more interesting!]
A plan to trick Ye Chen came into Su Mo's mind, and he let out a sinister chuckle.
Although she agreed with Su Mo's idea, Yang Qingxi couldn't help but complain upon seeing his expression. "Don't smile so wretchedly next time so as not to scare children."
Su Mo restrained his smile and looked at her, pretending to be confused. "You have children?"
"What nonsense?!" Yang Qingxi's temper rose.
Before they could argue anymore, Zhang Xulin's words attracted their attention.
"See, there's something written here!"
Su Mo and Yang Qingxi looked over at the corner of the gate. In that inconspicuous place, there was an ancient text.
It might have gone unnoticed if someone hadn't looked at it carefully. Although Su Mo had already seen it, he was busy chatting with Yang Qingxi just then, so he couldn't point it out.
"I can't recognise this text…" Zhang Xulin rubbed her chin and said with a frown.
"I would be surprised if you could recognise it." Su Mo complained and mocked her.
Zhang Xulin didn't get angry at him. She just snorted and replied with confidence. "Hmph! What do you know? I've been cramming historical knowledge in the past few days. Now, I can even read some Ming Dynasty characters."
Su Mo couldn't help but be surprised. He seemed to have underestimated her. However, there is no way he is going to praise her sincerely, otherwise, she would get even more arrogant.
So, he said very perfunctorily. "Yes, yes, you are awesome."
"Hmph!" Zhang Xulin snorted in dissatisfaction.
*Clap*
"Okay, that's enough, you two." After getting their attention, Yang Qingxi continued. "Sister Zhang, you click the photos of these texts and send them back. See if they can translate it for us."
"Yes, Miss." Zhang Xulin nodded.
From their previous conversation, she already knew that the young miss was now just testing the experts they called for and checking whether they were worth recruiting. As for the tomb? They didn't have to worry. After all, Su Mo's abilities are more reliable.
"Su Mo, can you read these texts?" Yang Qingxi turned to Su Mo and asked.
"Well, let me try."
Su Mo walked closer to the ancient text and activated his [Devil's Eyes]. To be honest, he wasn't sure if his insight ability would work on these ancient scriptures.
Fortunately, his guess was right. A few seconds after he used the insight ability, those unrecognisable characters seemed familiar to him. He translated them and started reading.
"O ye who dare approach in thirst for gold, turn thy steps hence—lest ye find only death. Beyond this gate lies no glory, only the end of breath and bone.
When the Sky-Father stirs and hurls ruin from the firmament, the Mountain Lord shall rise. His voice is thunder, his cry rends the vault of the heavens. His blazing gaze bends the proud, and his wrath humbles even dragons."
After hearing this, Yang Qingxi asked with a thoughtful look.
"So… it's just a warning?"
Su Mo shook his head and nodded.
"What do you mean?" She became puzzled. 'Was that a yes or no?'
Su Mo rubbed his chin and spoke. "It is indeed a warning, but that's not all… This text also contains a hint regarding the key to open this door."
"Really? Then did you find out how to open this door?" Yang Qingxi asked with some excitement.
"I guess…" Su Mo looked at the lion and the dragon, then raised his hand as he muttered.
"His blazing gaze bends the proud…" He used his fingers to touch the lion's eyes and pushed them in with force.
*Click*
"…and his wrath humbles even dragons." Then, he touched the dragon's eyes with his fingers, then swiped them down.
*Click*
"Did it work?" Su Mo asked himself, unsure.
After a momentary pause, with a rumbling sound, the door opened. What came into their view was a long passage leading somewhere.
As the air seeped inside, the lamps on the walls started burning one after one.
"Guess we have to wait for a while until there's enough air inside."
For Su Mo's words, Yang Qingxi nodded in agreement.
"You opened it!"
Zhang Xulin was only surprised for a moment before she recovered. It seemed she was already getting used to Su Mo and his abilities.
"Su Mo, what would have happened if we had tried to pry open the door through other methods or swiped those eyes wrongly?"
"Well… then we might have triggered the organ in the door and get shot by some poisonous darts."
Su Mo's calm words made Zhang Xulin sweat.
"Seriously?"
"There's no need for me to lie to you."
Su Mo was able to sense the structure of the door through his special technique and was able to guess the organ hidden inside. Anyway, he wasn't worried about accidentally hurting them, because he could control the darts easily with his magnetic control.
While Zhang Xulin was nervous, as well as relieved that Su Mo opened the door without a mistake, a message came to her through the communicator.
"Miss, Mr. Wang said that the ancient text seems to be from the Tang Dynasty. However, it's written in some ethnic language that he doesn't know. It would take him some time to find out."
The Mr. Wang in Zhang Xulin words is Wang Donghu, the expert in ancient scriptures that they called for. However, it seems now that he is only a little capable.
Yang Qingxi wanted to send him away, but then she thought for a second and changed her mind.
"Then let him try to find out which ethnic group language it is?"
She wanted to see if she could find more information about that ethnic group through Wang Donghu.
If not, then forget it.
