Chapter 72 Forbidden Land
After this little incident, the relationship between Shen Jue and the divine deer became more harmonious.
Because the divine deer knew that finding the mechanism would still depend on Shen Jue.
It can't work on its own.
Shen Jue and the divine deer began searching for mechanisms inside the hall, and the only thing inside was the divine deer statue in the center of the hall.
Now we can only look around here and see if there's a breakthrough.
Shen Jue reached out and touched the divine deer statue. Suddenly, the statue emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire palace.
Shen Jue's vision went white; the physiological stimulation forced her to close her eyes.
After briefly losing sight, Shen Jue felt the white light weaken and slowly opened his eyes.
The world before my eyes went from blurry to clear.
What just happened?
The divine deer standing nearby thought for a moment and roughly understood what was going on.
"So that's how it is!"
What are you saying?
The divine deer offered no explanation; it analyzed the situation to itself.
"No wonder we couldn't solve it before; it turns out this mechanism requires a human to activate it."
"Yes, a long, long time ago, the elders said that their entire Divine Deer Palace was created by humans. As for what happened later, many things happened in the Divine Deer Palace. Many treasures and precious materials disappeared inexplicably."
This trigger mechanism must be related to humans. What secrets are the Divine Deer Clan guarding?
Shen Jue heard everything the divine deer said to itself.
Is it related to humans?
Judging from its description, the Divine Deer clan seems to have suffered a sudden and devastating disaster, and it is estimated that only this one survivor remains of the entire clan.
Shen Jue felt no emotional turmoil. More concerned than what had happened to the divine deer was the now drastically changed statue of the divine deer.
The once pristine white deer statue is now covered with these strange symbols.
Shen Jue observed it carefully and found that the symbol was similar to the pattern on the black box. The only difference was that the symbol looked more complex and profound.
Simply put, it's too difficult; Shen Jue can't understand it.
Shen Jue thought about the details of when the divine deer unlocked the black box.
Looking at the deer statue, a small idea was born in her mind.
"I'll borrow your antlers for a moment." After saying that, Shen Jue pushed the divine deer closer to the statue. He reached out and grabbed the antlers, bringing them into contact with the statue.
Unsurprisingly, the deer statue lit up faintly for a brief moment, and then... nothing happened.
Strange, the statue was responding, so why did it stop responding later?
Something's not right; there must be something she's overlooked.
She needs to think about it carefully.
Before Shen Jue could figure it out, she heard Shen Lu shouting and accusing her.
"Shen Jue, how could you touch my antlers without my permission?"
"What? You can't? Didn't you say you were looking for the treasure mechanism? Isn't this right in front of us?"
It sounded reasonable, but Shenlu felt that something was off.
Seeing that it was deep in thought, Shen Jue continued to ponder.
She triggered it the first time, and the divine deer the second time. When the divine deer came into contact with it, it clearly reacted, but it didn't reach the threshold that triggered the mechanism.
If she touches the divine deer at the same time this time, will it unlock?
"Sacred deer."
"Um?"
"This time, come with me to this divine deer statue. Use your antlers and remember to be fully focused. No matter what happens, don't move for now."
"Have you discovered something?"
Shen Jue held out his palm: "Almost there. Let's try it first. Get ready, I'll count down, three, two..."
When the count reached one, Shen Jue's palm and the antlers of the divine deer touched the statue at the same time.
Just then, the divine deer statue emitted a gentle light and began to move, slowly rising into the air. At the same time, beams of light connected on the walls surrounding the temple, as if something was in motion.
As the last ray of light shone on the deer statue, a deafening roar resounded.
The statue landed steadily, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Shen Jue looked around and noticed something lurking in the shadows behind the statue.
Shen Jue walked behind the statue of the divine deer and took a closer look. It turned out to be a hidden door.
The hidden door is also a square, and it is currently closed.
"There's a hidden door here. Did you know about places like this before?" Shen Jue wanted to confirm with Shen Lu.
Seeing the deer's blank expression, it seems we can't count on her.
He had to do it himself, so Shen Jue circled the hidden door.
No mechanism to open the secret door was found.
It's called a hidden door, but it looks more like a shadow.
Why don't you stand on it and try it out?
Shen Jue: "Come here, stand here."
The divine deer obediently walked to Shen Jue's side and stood with her in the shadows.
At this moment, the shadows turned into light and shadow, suddenly activated, and the next instant, a wave of dizziness struck, and Shen Jue and the divine deer were instantly teleported to an unfamiliar place.
The scene before her surprised Shen Jue; it was another forest, and one filled with mist.
One second they were in a mountaintop palace, the next they were in an unknown forest.
Shen Jue cautiously looked around, unsure if it was safe.
Be careful!
The divine deer nodded and followed closely behind Shen Jue. It was also the first time it had ever known that the Divine Deer Palace could teleport to such a magical place.
"I have no memory of this place in my mind."
"Think about it again. Haven't your people ever mentioned the place, not even a little bit?" Ever since the divine deer concealed information from her twice, Shen Jue knew that the divine deer was unreliable.
While waiting for the divine deer to recall its memories, Shen Jue surveyed his surroundings.
The misty forest seemed somewhat eerie, and even when sunlight shone through the trees, it didn't feel warm.
Observing her surroundings carefully, she felt a strange sense of oppression permeating the forest, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Shen Jue guessed that they might have been transported to another unknown space this time.
In the unfamiliar environment, Shen Jue remained on high alert. She didn't know what would happen next, so she could only be extra careful.
"Chen Jue, I've remembered something," the divine deer suddenly spoke, interrupting Chen Jue's thoughts.
