Elemental Domain

Chapter 38 Strange Town

The two lightly crossed the stairs and landed on the first floor. Compared to the simple layout on the second floor, the first floor was extremely complicated.

It was still a passage with blue light, but there were many more doors on both sides.

There were at least twenty doors at a glance, and these wooden doors were four colors, red, blue, yellow, and white.

The deeper the color of the wooden door, the higher the degree of decay. There were only three red doors, but only one was preserved. The rest had already rotted to the point that they could barely cover the scene inside.

Li Kong pulled hard on the broken wooden door, but no matter how hard he tried, the wooden door remained motionless.

"Sealing Wood? Why is there a Sealing Wood here?" Zhang Han looked at Li Kong in disbelief.

"What is a Sealing Wood?"

"Sealing wood is an ancient tree. It has the ability to suppress evil spirits, so the mighty figures of ancient times used it to seal some demons and ghosts. This wood is stronger than fine iron, so it is called Sealing Wood." Zhang Han explained in a low voice.

"But isn't this wood extinct? Why are there so many of them here? What exactly is in this Sealing Wood door?"

Zhang Han's doubts also troubled Li Kong. After the test just now, it was really as Zhang Han said, the Sealing Wood was extremely hard.

He reached out and pressed hard on the blue wall around the wooden door again. He found that it was still shockingly soft. This was the same as upstairs.

He carefully explored the surroundings. Every door was made of Sealing Wood.

"Strange, why is there no sign of activity? Didn't we see guards at noon? And didn't that old man walk out from there?" Li Kong asked in a low voice.

"Look, those are the armor worn by the two guards this morning." Zhang Han pointed at the two pieces of armor hanging on the wall. His doubts were no less than Li Kong's.

Looking in the direction that Zhang Han was pointing, Li Kong saw two shiny armor. The armor was covered with a cold light. However, the armor was covered with spider webs. If the armor was not spotless, Li Kong would have thought that it had been hanging here for a long time.

He quietly walked over and carefully examined the armor. A dense aura gushed out from it, and he suddenly quivered.

Cold sweat instantly covered Li Kong's back. When Zhang Han saw Li Kong's state, he immediately came over, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I just took a look at this, and this is the result. Be careful." Li Kong slowly came back to his senses and explained. Only the cold sweat on his forehead under the mask proved the danger just now.

"We have to be more careful. We have to search again and then quickly evacuate."

"Yes." Li Kong nodded. The more he investigated, the more he felt that this place was very dangerous. However, he could not sense what was dangerous. This made him very uncomfortable. This kind of uncontrollable unknown factor was the most alarming one. Even Li Kong was panicked.

He liked to do things that he was confident in. However, there were many things that he could not have full confidence in. "I still need to become stronger. Otherwise, I would regret it if I do not have the strength when the unexpected comes." Li Kong swore in his heart.

Looking at Li Kong's weak appearance, Zhang Han felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had only been in contact with this young boy for a few days, he had long regarded him as a younger brother. Li Kong was still young, but he had to do something dangerous with them. At Li Kong's age, he should live a stable life in school.

However, he chose to do such a dangerous thing. This made him admire and curious about the young man in front of him. He admired him because he chose such a cruel way to train himself at this age. And he was curious about what kind of person Li Kong, who had such good talent, was.

Just like that, the two continued to search with their own thoughts.

After searching, there was nothing strange except for the accumulated dust. Helpless, the two had no choice but to retreat.

However, when they returned to the second floor, a broken stone in the corner suddenly lit up with a golden light. At the same time, the Rock Emperor Armor in Li Kong's space storage device was constantly emitting yellow light, as if it were for responding to the stone outside.

Looking at the constantly glowing stone, Li Kong did not look at it curiously like before. Instead, he stood far away and looked at it. Although he was full of curiosity, he did not dare to be careless. He quickly caught up with Zhang Han and left the attic.

The light of the Rock Emperor Kai in the storage device grew brighter and brighter as if it was in a hurry, and Li Kong had not noticed all of this. Otherwise, he would definitely regret not taking the stone away just now.

Seeing Li Kong and Zhang Han walk out, everyone immediately retreated.

Returning to the temporary camp, Ma Yulin impatiently asked, "Captain, did you find out anything?"

Looking at Ma Yulin's impatient look, Zhang Han said seriously, "There are no clues, but it is very strange inside. Many things are like two extremes."

The general explanation of the situation caused everyone to feel that it was inconceivable.

Their mood was just as full of disbelief and curiosity as Li Kong and Zhang Han's.

"Alright, take turns to guard. We'll sneak back to the town tomorrow and bring back the backpacks. Qiang, you go first. The rest of you should take the time to rest." As the captain of the team, Zhang Han must always be vigilant and calm.

Since he had accepted the mission, he naturally had to complete it. Although this was a mission without any clues, as long as Shadow Killing Hall's people stayed here, there must be a reason. Because Shadow Killing Hall's people never easily appeared in a certain place. Many small clues were difficult to cover up.

Right now, all they had to do was take back their backpacks and make the next step. Because their backpacks had all the things they needed, including the communication tool with the informants.

The next morning, the gentle sunlight shone on the earth again. The gentle morning breeze caressed everyone's cheeks.

Taking a deep breath, Li Kong sighed, "If not for the fact that the town was too strange, then this place would really be a very good place." The ghost mask also emitted light under the sun, and it was easy to make people feel fear when matched with the ghost face on the mask.

"Guard, come to eat something and prepare to move." Looking at the motionless Li Kong, Xu Qing waved her hand.

"Coming." Their food had been left in the inn, so Zhang Han had gotten up early to hunt two hares. After being roasted by Xu Qing, the smell of roasted meat filled the camp.

Looking at the golden and crispy hare, Li Kong, who was originally not hungry, immediately drooled.

Everyone was almost like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey as they distributed the roasted meat. Only Xu Qing calmly handed over a fat roasted rabbit leg that had been prepared long ago to Li Kong, causing everyone to feel envious. However, when they thought of Li Kong's age, they felt a little better.

Early in the morning, no one showed up in the Glacial Pavilion Town. Two figures quietly appeared in the only inn in the town.

Looking at Zhang Han's gesture, Li Kong understood and was about to jump to the window on the second floor.

The wooden door of the inn was slowly pushed open. Li Kong and Zhang Han were stunned.

"Eh? Guests, why are you outside? Quickly, please come in and tell us if we have any bad hospitality. Although the inn is small, we do not lack anything." The person who received them yesterday was still extremely enthusiastic.

The two people who had just prepared to escape were immediately dumbfounded. What was going on? Wasn't this boss the most vicious person who chased them last night? Why was he so enthusiastic during the day?

"Last night..." Zhang Han asked tentatively.

"Well, what happened last night? You guys don't know that the people here don't go out at night, so there's nothing for you guys to go out at night." The boss explained with an enthusiastic smile.

The boss' words left Li Kong and Zhang Han at a loss. The two of them were dragged into the inn by the boss. They had no choice but to check the items in the room. They found that there was nothing missing. Even the furnishings in the room had not changed.

With doubts, Li Kong went to call back the people who were still waiting in the camp.

As they listened to Li Kong's narration on the way, everyone was also surprised. The difference between the two was too big. They did not have the time to react and could only wait until they got to the inn to discuss the next investigation plan.
