"Of course, we have no military strength left now. Everything depends on the two of you. I can only hope that while you escape, you can also provide a way out for me." Lin Yuechang knew he had no bargaining power at this moment and could only wear a bitter expression, appearing submissive to their commands.
"Let's first take a look at that Extraordinary Treasure. We need to figure out a way to bypass those traps," Wang Long said as they shifted their attention to the stone platform ahead. The poor beast was bound by a Spiritual Essence rope, and even if it woke up from the Illusion Array, it would pose no threat to Wang Long and the others.
Now that they had adapted to the darkness here, they could see clearly what was on the stone platform.
It was about ten feet square, with very simple arrangements: a Throne with a sword laid across it. Wang Long and the others felt that the pressure they were experiencing came from that sword, but although they were so close now, they dared not test the power of those Vortexes.
Slowly, Wang Long gathered a stream of Spiritual Essence and directed it towards the long sword.
It seemed that this intangible Spiritual Essence would not trigger the Vortexes, or perhaps as long as they did not touch the stone platform below, nothing would happen. This stream of Spiritual Essence did not cause any violent changes; however, it acted like an "illusion" technique, allowing Wang Long and his companions to see several hidden Vortexes suspended in mid-air.
The Vortexes did not exert any power at that moment and posed no threat to Wang Long and his group. However, they analyzed that if they wanted to fly over them, coming into contact would trigger the traps again, and that would mean zero distance contact with these Vortexes. At that point, Wang Long would have no time to react before being sucked inside. He did not want to meet such a foolish end.
"Too dense," Jiang Xue said after carefully examining the Vortexes revealed by the Spiritual Essence. She was searching for a direction to break through directly but ended up feeling very disappointed. "Whether leaping over or using sword techniques, we cannot avoid passing through at high speed without any reaction time. If there's even a slight miscalculation in direction or something unexpected happens when approaching such a precious item, it would be a dead end; the risk is too great."
Wang Long turned his head to look at the white-clad Leader. "Did you not receive any information about how to obtain this thing?"
"Uh, no. We all thought there would be a pile of treasures here. To be honest, we have already solved quite a few mechanisms in the Valley. If we hadn't received prior information about the stone wall, we might have thought that bare stone wall was the so-called 'treasure,' or believed this was a dead end. Plus, with this maze, who would have thought there would be such a setup inside this treasure cave?"
"Really don't know? Or are you thinking that as long as you survive this time, you'll come back after we leave to take the treasure?"
"Two of you, I really don't know!" The white-clad person looked anxious as well.
"Fine, I'll trust you this time."
Lin Yuechang thought he would have to be captured and tortured before they would believe him, but unexpectedly, Wang Long let him go with just a light remark.
"What should we do? We can't just give up like this." With such a powerful Extraordinary Treasure right in front of them, even Jiang Xue couldn't bear to give up directly.
"Well, it's not like there’s no way," Wang Long said thoughtfully as he looked at the Vortex that was disappearing before their eyes with the dissipating Spiritual Essence.
"What way?" Jiang Xue and Lin Yuechang asked in unison.
"What is that?" Wang Long casually turned his head and suddenly pointed at Lin Yuechang. At the same time, he kicked a stone that shot towards the stone wall, rebounding back and hitting Lin Yuechang squarely in the face, knocking him out cold.
"This..." Jiang Xue was unsure what Wang Long was up to this time.
"Hehe, this time we have to take some risks. It's too dangerous to let him stay awake. Do you remember the cyclone we formed with our connected spiritual fields earlier?"
"Yes, I remember, but it can only help us resist the suppression of this Extraordinary Treasure's Spiritual Essence; it can't help us get inside."
"No, you misunderstood my point. To bypass such a dense Vortex and enter the center, we can only step onto the air in a very stable manner. This way, we can avoid all the Vortexes. The most stable method is to gather the cyclone beneath our feet and around our bodies. This requires your cooperation. While you're outside, you can also help me redirect the cyclone to avoid those Vortexes."
Jiang Xue suddenly realized, "That's a good idea! And since both of our Spiritual Essence are currently suppressed, we can use our shared Spiritual Essence to form a rotation within our bodies. This will support you in reaching the innermost part."
"Let's do it."
Wang Long held Jiang Xue's hand, and once again, they began to rotate their Spiritual Essence, forming a complete cycle of Spiritual Essence. Wang Long seemed to be manipulated by Jiang Xue, as he floated into the air, but his ascent was slow and steady.
Gradually, only the tips of their fingers remained connected, reaching the most critical part of their plan.
The two began to slowly separate, yet their Spiritual Essence remained linked. More importantly, it was not suppressed by the spiritual treasure!
In other words, at this moment, the Spiritual Essence between them seemed to still be circulating within their bodies; they were simply not physically connected. Wang Long let out a sigh of relief and cautiously moved forward, carefully dodging the Vortexes. The deeper he went, the more difficult it became. Streams of Spiritual Essence radiated from Wang Long, allowing him to clearly see the dangerous traps.
This method of circulating Spiritual Essence was a first for Jiang Xue as well, and having reached such a distance, sweat had already formed on her forehead.
Fortunately, Wang Long had knocked Lin Yuechang unconscious earlier; otherwise, she would have been unable to pay attention to this weaker opponent.
Finally, through their gritted teeth and perseverance, Wang Long navigated past all the Vortexes and entered the deepest part of the cave.
Suddenly!
Just as Wang Long's body approached the Extraordinary Treasure and he sent out a stream of Spiritual Essence to check for any remaining Vortex traps, the Extraordinary Treasure itself lit up! It exerted immense pressure on Wang Long, completely suppressing his Spiritual Essence.
Strangely enough, this did not affect the circulation of Spiritual Essence between Wang Long and Jiang Xue.
Wang Long realized that Jiang Xue could not hold on much longer. Even if he wanted to retreat now, it was impossible; he could only muster his courage and reach for the hilt of the Extraordinary Treasure sword!
Boom!
In the cave, there was no reaction on the surface, but Wang Long could feel an extremely powerful force directly entering his body through his hand, exerting immense pressure on the Spiritual Essence within him.
Bit by bit, wave after wave.
It violently crashed against the circulation of Spiritual Essence between him and Jiang Xue again and again.
Fortunately, their circular flow was a very stable state of Spiritual Essence, which prevented it from collapsing under such powerful impacts. However, Wang Long also knew that this situation could not last long. With great courage, he partially opened their circulation to directly absorb that crashing force!
Suddenly, more and more foreign Spiritual Essence began to mix into their Spiritual Essence, but it also made their cyclone increasingly powerful and stable, causing the impact against them to gradually weaken. In the end, Wang Long could feel that the suppressive force from that spiritual sword was continuously decreasing, and now he felt a certain resonance with it.
Regardless, this was good news. Wang Long began to try to lift the sword. As soon as the sword left the Throne, all those Vortexes immediately started to dissipate, and the suppressed light in the entire cave reappeared. At this moment, even Jiang Xue could easily see the situation inside the cave.
It must be said that these people's intelligence was quite good; besides this long sword, there were many other treasures in the cave. Precious materials, rare spirit jade, and some weapons and magical artifacts.
The cave was not large, but these items were all considered high-quality goods. Wang Long and the others naturally would not miss out on them and collected everything first to take back to Bronze City.
However, just at that moment, a series of roars suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.
