Chapter 32 Quickly Transmigrate! Strategy for the Viking Son of Fortune (Thirteen)
The boulder had a strange shape, with ancient runes carved on its surface, and it glowed eerily in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Zeus slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked the runes. A cold breath instantly came from his fingertips, making him shiver.
"These runes... are used to seal the barrier."
Zeus withdrew his hand, frowning, "Mr. Albert said that only at a specific time and place can we find a way to break the barrier.
It seems that this boulder is the key.
"Feng Ziang followed Zeus's gaze and he also felt that this huge rock was unusual. Could it be that only by finding the right time and place can the power of the runes be activated and the seal of Valhalla be unlocked?
"But how can we know the exact time and place?" Feng Ziang asked, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
Zeus said nothing. He walked slowly around the boulder, carefully observing the surrounding environment, hoping to find some clues. There were high cliffs on both sides of the canyon. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the cliffs particularly long, as if it was the entrance to an unknown world.
Suddenly, Zeus stopped and his eyes fell on a depression on the cliff. The depression had a strange shape, like a huge eye, silently watching everything in the canyon.
“Maybe the answer lies there.”
Zeus pointed to the depression and said to Feng Ziang. They climbed up the cliff with great effort and came to the depression.
After a closer look, they found a small platform at the bottom of the depression, on which was a stone slab covered with densely packed words.
"These words... seem to be ancient Viking language."
Feng Ziang carefully read the words on the stone slab, trying hard to recall the words from the books he had read.
"What does it say?"
Zeus asked. Feng Ziang took a deep breath, pointed at the words on the stone tablet, and translated word by word: "When the sun's light illuminates the Eye of the Giant, the gate of Valhalla will open..."
"Giant's Eye... is this the depression you're referring to?"
Zeus looked up at the strangely shaped depression and suddenly realized, "When the sun's light illuminates the giant's eye, it should mean..."
"At sunrise!"
Feng Ziang and Zeus said in unison. They looked at each other, and saw excitement and expectation in each other's eyes.
It seems that they have found the key to unlock the seal of Valhalla. Therefore, Feng Ziang and Zeus decided to spend the night outside the canyon, waiting for the arrival of dawn.
They found a relatively safe place, built a campfire, ate simple dry food, talked in low voices, and watched the movements around them vigilantly.
Time passed, the night grew darker, and the canyon was completely silent except for the sound of the whistling wind and the crackling of the campfire.
Feng Ziang and Zeus' hearts were filled with anticipation and anxiety. They knew that tomorrow's sunrise would determine whether they could enter Valhalla and find the Sword of War.
The long night finally passed, the sky in the east gradually turned pale, and a new day was about to come.
Feng Ziang and Zeus extinguished the bonfire, got up and walked to the entrance of the canyon, looked up at the eastern sky, and waited for the moment of sunrise. However, at this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps and shouts came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the canyon...
As daybreak broke in the east, the sky turned pale, casting a faint golden glow over the entire canyon.
Feng Ziang and Zeus stood at the entrance of the canyon, looking towards the east, anxiously waiting for the moment of sunrise. Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps and shouts came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the canyon.
Feng Ziang and Zeus were startled and turned around immediately, only to see a group of people holding sharp blades and with fierce faces approaching them.
"Who are you?"
Zeus asked in a deep voice, tightening his grip on the battle axe in his hand. The leader was a burly man with a ferocious face. He said with a fierce smile: "We are here to take your lives! If you know what's good for you, hand over the secrets in your hands, and maybe we can leave you with a whole body!"
"Relying on a mob of you?" Zeus sneered. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.
"Go! Kill them!"
The leader of the thieves gave an order, and his men rushed forward like hungry wolves. Zeus swung his battle axe and rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from a mountain, taking a life with every swing.
Although Feng Ziang does not have the powerful military force of Zeus, he is smart and flexible. He uses the terrain advantage to constantly avoid the enemy's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
"Damn it! Why are these two so difficult to deal with?"
The leader of the thief gang couldn't help feeling anxious as he watched his men fall one by one.
He swung the long sword in his hand and attacked Zeus fiercely, wanting to get rid of this powerful opponent as soon as possible. Zeus was entangled by the leader of the thieves' gang and it was difficult to escape for a while.
Feng Ziang was extremely anxious when he saw this. He dodged the attacks of other thieves while carefully observing the battle situation, hoping to find a breakthrough.
Suddenly, Feng Ziang noticed something unusual on the leader of the thieves' gang... Suddenly, Feng Ziang noticed the light of a jade pendant faintly shining through the gaps in the thieves' gang leader's armor. That was the clue to the artifact they had found in the cave before!
Could it be that...
"Zeus! In his armor!"
Feng Ziang shouted loudly. Zeus immediately understood what Feng Ziang meant. He found the right opportunity, forced the leader of the thieves back with an axe, and then dodged to the side.
Before the leader of the thieves could react, Zeus's battle axe came whizzing in and hit the gap in his armor with precision.
"ah!"
The leader of the thieves let out a scream and fell to the ground.
The thieves who lost their leader immediately fell into chaos and were soon wiped out by Zeus and Feng Ziang. Zeus walked to the body of the thieves' leader and reached out to take out a jade pendant from the gap in his armor. It was the jade pendant they had found in the cave before.
"It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed."
Zeus said in a deep voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Someone leaked the news."
Feng Ziang also realized the seriousness of the problem. He nodded and said, "It seems that we have to be more careful."
They looked up at the ancient castle at the end of the canyon. There, perhaps, were more dangers hidden... Just as they were about to enter the castle, the barrier was suddenly lifted, and the castle gate slowly opened. It was strange, terrifying, and full of gloom...
