Chapter 655: Entrance to the Divine Tomb
Everyone agreed with Chen Yile's opinion, thinking that the Changsheng Sect must have some special means to obtain information about Chen Yile and others, and they were not even aware of it.
In addition, there is actually an even more terrifying guess, which even Chen Yile dare not think about deeply.
That is, there is an undercover agent from the Changsheng Sect among their people.
Chen Yile looked around and saw that everyone was chatting while eating the meal made by Lin and Wang, as if they were all family.
Chen Yile saw this heartwarming scene. Everyone here was a comrade who had fought side by side with him, a partner who had been through life and death with him. He could trust them with his back at any time.
If someone is an undercover agent and all the friendship for so long is fake, then it would be more terrifying than any evil spirit.
Chen Yile quickly shook his head, forcibly dispelling the terrible thoughts in his mind.
Night comes early in the Far North, and it gets dark soon after dinner.
After nightfall, everyone lit a bonfire in the open space of the base camp. The blazing flames slightly warmed the coldness of the snow-capped mountains.
Everyone sat around the fire, discussing tomorrow's adventure plan and thinking about how to enter the mysterious Far North Tomb.
According to the information provided by the Spirit Detective Organization, the Far North Divine Tomb is located in the Kachi Snow Mountain. However, its entrance has long been covered by thick snow, making it difficult for ordinary people to find.
Chen Yile said with a frown as he flipped through the map in his hand.
"But fortunately, Feihong brought a good thing from the headquarters' equipment room before we set off. Vice President Sun Qi assigned it to us to find the entrance to the Divine Tomb. It should be useful."
Lin Feihong nodded and took out a device from his backpack. It had a wooden pillar with a copper head on one end, wrapped in a magnet, and a bluestone slab on the other end, engraved with scales indicating direction. It looked a bit like the legendary seismometer.
"This device is called a geodesic instrument. It can detect underground structures. We just need to dig in the direction it indicates, and we will soon find the entrance to the Far North Divine Tomb."
Lin Feihong demonstrated to everyone how to use the earth probe. As long as you use your spiritual power to strike the ground with all your strength, the earth probe can detect the underground structure.
Everyone discussed and decided to set out early the next morning to find the entrance to the tomb.
As the night deepened, the noise of the crowd in the base camp gradually subsided, leaving only the crackling sound of the burning wood in the fire.
Chen Yile was lying in the tent, tossing and turning for some reason, unable to fall asleep.
Deep in his heart, he seemed to have a sense of foreboding, as if some danger was approaching them silently.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight illuminated the peak of the snow-capped mountain, everyone got up early and set off in off-road vehicles.
According to the map left by the guide, they advanced on a vast expanse of white snow. Many visible objects on the ground were buried under the snow, and they had to rely on guesswork to navigate part of the way.
Twenty minutes into the drive, the weather suddenly changed and heavy snow began to fall.
As the snow fell heavier, visibility became increasingly low and the off-road vehicle's fuel level gradually ran low.
In the end, the car broke down completely and everyone had to get out and walk.
Everyone walked on the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Even though they were wearing professional cold-proof mountaineering clothes, they were still freezing.
After a long trek and bypassing several cliffs, they finally arrived at the place shown on the map that was suspected to be the entrance to the tomb of the gods.
"This should be it!" Lin Feihong shouted excitedly.
Everyone stopped and looked around.
Before them was a snow-covered clearing that didn't look like anything special.
"Is this the entrance?"
Ling Feng asked with confusion.
Lin Feihong said that if nothing unexpected happened, the gate of the sacred mausoleum would be right under their feet, but they still needed to use a geodesic instrument to detect the exact location.
He placed the ground probe on the snow and asked Chen Yile to use all his strength to hit the ground.
Chen Yile nodded and began to gather all his spiritual power. When he was ready, he launched a powerful attack directly below with all his strength.
"Golden Thunder Spell: Shock!"
A golden dragon roared out and slammed down to the ground with its might that soared into the sky. The snow was hit hard by the golden dragon and suddenly shook violently, causing several people around to almost fall off their feet.
After the vibration, the main beam of the geodesic instrument tilted and pointed to a scale.
Lin Feihong walked back and forth on the ground according to the displayed scale, and finally stopped at a place. It seemed that he had found the entrance to the tomb of the gods.
"This is it. Let's find a way to clear the snow off it."
Following Lin Feihong's suggestion, everyone bombarded the snow in their own way.
At first, a small hole was dug out of the snow by everyone, which later gradually turned into a deep pit extending downward for more than ten meters. It seemed that something could be seen under the pit.
"Stop, there seems to be something!"
Chen Yile quickly called a halt and asked everyone to stop.
Chen Yile shook his head, signaling everyone not to act hastily.
He used the Golden Thunder Spell again, blasting a bigger hole in the snow at the entrance of the cave.
After this sweep, the rough outline of the entrance to the sacred mausoleum could be initially seen.
He jumped deep into the cave and carefully dug up the remaining snow with a shovel.
As the snow was peeled off layer by layer, an ancient stone gate gradually appeared, and the entrance to the tomb of the gods finally saw the light of day again.
This mausoleum appears to be carved purely out of the mountain. It is hundreds of meters high, like an independent mountain or a magnificent palace.
The entire mausoleum is covered with ice and snow, as if it were a huge ice sculpture integrated with the mountain.
The stone gate was covered with complex runes, which glowed faintly in the dim light.
Chen Yile carefully observed these runes, trying to find a way to open the stone door.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the surrounding snow suddenly surged, forming snow piles that resembled human figures.
"Oh no, it's the Snow Ghost controlled by the Changsheng Cult!
Lin Feihong shouted in horror.
Snow ghosts are formed from the remaining resentment of people and animals who died in the mountains. They are covered in white snow clothes, with twisted and hideous faces, and they attack everyone.
Several people quickly drew their weapons and prepared to fight these sudden enemies.
Suddenly, lightning flashed across the snow, and one by one, the snow ghosts were cut into several pieces, revealing their bodies beneath the snowy coats.
While Chen Yile was bombarding the snow ghost with thunder magic, he was paying close attention to the movements of the stone gate.
He noticed that since the battle began, the runes seemed to flicker in rhythm, as if there was some hidden pattern.
"Qingyao, these runes may be hiding a way in. Can you find it?"
After hearing Chen Yile's reminder, Lin Qingyao immediately left the battle and observed the runes.
