A sudden realization dawned on Missy after his explanation. “Daddy, no wonder I can always feel faint spiritual energy in the southwest of our house. There must be treasure in that direction.”
What?
Zeke and the others were over the moon.
The Devonville Restricted Zone was disconnected from the world. This made it ideal for the growth of rare plants.
Therefore, it was not surprising that there were spiritual drugs here.
“Missy, bring us there now,” Zeke quickly said.
“Sure!”
Missy scampered forward while a large crowd trailed closely behind her.
“Obviously, the thousand-year-old snow lotus Zippy brought back was freshly plucked from somewhere. The place at which the plant can thrive must be a spiritual land, so I'm sure there are other rare treasures there. We have to find out where Zippy took the snow lotus from,” Zeke said.
“Of course. Don't worry, Zeke. I got this,” Sole Wolf answered.
“Get all the veterinarians in Eurasia to come over. I'll chop off their heads if they can't heal Zippy.”
“Alright.”
Afterward, the crowd was led by Missy to a remote valley within the Devonville Restricted Zone.
The little girl pointed at the wall of a mountain and said, “This is where the strange aura is from.”
Err.....
Everyone was stupefied.
How can rare plants possibly grow in solid rocks? Does Missy really have the sensing capability?
Zeke seemed to have thought of something. Then, he climbed on top of the highest rock and glanced around.
“These mountains in Devonville are the most auspicious place in Eurasia. This is an ideal burial ground. There could be an ancient tomb within this mountain. The rare plants may be growing in the ancient tomb. Nameless, break the wall.”
“Yes!”
Nameless threw a fist at the wall of the mountain, and it crumbled into pieces.
A dark cave came into sight.
A few archaic containers piled up at the opening of the cave.
There was most probably an ancient tomb, and its owner was no ordinary man since he could build his tomb within a mountain.
It was highly possible that he was buried together with rare plants as well.
The crowd tiptoed warily into the cave, with Zeke in the lead.
The ancient tomb was palatial and filled with all sorts of treasures.
The inner walls were full of murals about interesting things in the lives of the rich in the olden days.
The tomb owner was either wealthy or influential.
Soon, they came to the center of the tomb, where a casket was placed in the middle.
The casket was made of sandalwood, with innumerable treasures scattered around it. It looked opulent and classy.
Missy pointed at the casket. “Daddy, the strange aura comes from the casket.”
“Come on, let's check it out.” Zeke strode forward.
“Beware of traps. There must be many traps in this gigantic tomb,” Nameless warned gingerly.
Zeke gave him a nonchalant smile. “Any trap is useless against a great power.”
With that said, he released energy and formed an energy barrier around the crowd.
Everyone was stunned.
It is such a luxury that the Great Marshal uses his energy as a shield.
Killer Wolf felt inferior.
Though he was already a King Class warrior, his energy could barely shield himself from a sword.
It was totally incomparable with Zeke's invincible energy.
Sure enough, they ran into snares halfway to the casket.
Crossbows surfaced from the walls of the tomb and shot arrows at them. There were fire and quicksand as well.
Yet, all the attacks were blocked outside the energy barrier, so everyone escaped unscathed.
Missy was impressed. “Daddy, you are amazing! I want to be as powerful as you in the future.”
With a warm smile, Zeke stroked her head. “Of course, you will. I have faith in you.”
