Chapter 35: Quickly Transmigrate! Strategies for Zeus, the Son of Viking Fortune (Sixteen)
Watching the old man disappear, the two people felt some different feelings in their hearts. The old man, who had not been so kind at the beginning, actually sacrificed himself for them. To the old man, they were just strangers, and to them, this was a deep kindness.
Zeus held the battle axe tightly in his hand, scanning the dark corners with his eyes like a hawk.
In the silent hall, only their rapid breathing and heartbeats echoed.
However, apart from the flickering flames and the mess on the ground, there was no movement.
"Maybe I'm just too nervous."
Zeus whispered, but the battle axe in his hand did not relax at all. He always felt that this dark and empty space still posed a threat.
Feng Ziang walked up to him, patted his shoulder gently, and signaled him to relax.
"This map..."
Feng Ziang turned his attention to the parchment scroll. "It looks like some kind of ancient writing. I seem to have seen it somewhere."
Feng Ziang gave a brief explanation. Although Zeus was confused, he understood that this thing seemed to be a "divine weapon".
Zeus feels slightly
"The God of War's Sword isn't the only divine weapon. There are many other valuable treasures!"
Feng Ziang pointed to a piece of text on the screen and said, "This is ancient Fusak, a lost language. According to the markings on the map, there should be an ancient treasure house hidden here!"
"Treasure house?"
Zeus' eyes lit up, "Maybe there is a way to unlock the artifact's shield!"
"It's really troublesome to take the Sword of the God of War away"
"I think so! After all, it's the Sword of the God of War. It's not that easy, but I have to make it a little difficult for you."
Following the instructions on the map, they arrived at a hidden stone door, which was carved with complex patterns that corresponded to the patterns on the parchment scroll.
"It looks like this is the entrance."
Zeus stroked the patterns on the stone door, trying to find the mechanism that opened it.
"etc!"
Feng Ziang grabbed him and said, "There seems to be a trap here."
He pointed to the bottom of the stone gate, where there were several tiny metal wires hidden. They almost blended in with the surrounding environment and could not be detected without careful observation.
Zeus took a breath of cold air. If Feng Ziang hadn't reminded him, he would have probably triggered the trap.
"This mechanism is so exquisite. It seems that this treasure trove is extraordinary."
Feng Ziang pondered, "We have to find a way to crack it."
At this moment, Odin's voice came from behind them: "It seems that my worries are unnecessary. You are smarter than I thought."
Feng Ziang and Zeus turned around suddenly, only to see Odin appear behind them. His hair and beard were all white, but he was energetic, his eyes were bright, and he was holding a cane inlaid with gems in his hand.
"Who are you?" Zeus asked warily.
"I am Odin, a scholar."
The old man smiled and said, "I know what you are looking for, and I also know how to enter this treasure house."
Feng Ziang and Zeus exchanged glances. Odin's appearance was too sudden and they could not fully trust him.
"Don't worry,"
Odin seemed to see through their thoughts. "I have no ill intentions. In fact, I have been waiting for someone who can unlock the secrets of this treasure house."
“Why are you helping us?”
“Because you are an important person”
In fact, Zeus didn't know that Odin also came here through the Tree of Life. He was actually Zeus's son and the leader of another group of gods. He was just being killed by his giant wolf son.
As long as he helps Zeus get the sword of war, he can make a wish to the gods that he will not be seduced by the witch and will not give birth to a wolf child.
He paused, then continued, "The mechanism of this treasure house is extremely complex. Only someone familiar with the ancient Fusak culture and history can decipher it. And I happen to know a thing or two about these."
Feng Ziang's heart moved. He was worried that he couldn't crack the mechanism. The appearance of Odin might be the key to solving the problem.
"What do you need from us?" he asked.
Odin pointed to the patterns on the stone door and said, "I need you to help me find..."
"I need you to help me find the eye of the World Serpent."
Albert pointed to the patterns on the stone gate, where a huge snake-like creature was coiled, looking very lifelike.
"World Serpent?"
Zeus asked in confusion, "What is that?"
Albert explained: "In ancient Fusac mythology, the 'World Serpent' is a huge sea serpent that surrounds the entire world, symbolizing power and cycle. Its eyes are a symbol of wisdom and insight."
Odin had no idea that his gears had also begun to turn, and that there would be a giant snake among his descendants.
Feng Ziang carefully observed the patterns on the stone gate. The snake's eyes seemed to be a little unusual, with a faint metallic luster.
He pulled out a small flashlight from his backpack, which she had prepared specially for emergencies.
The strong light shone on the snake's eyes, reflecting a dazzling light.
Feng Ziang narrowed his eyes and examined it carefully, and found that there was indeed a red gem inlaid in the snake's eye.
"Found it!" Feng Ziang pointed at the gem and said, "This should be the eye of the 'World Serpent'."
Albert nodded, walked to the stone door, and pointed the top of his cane at the gem.
The gem on the top of the cane suddenly emitted a dazzling light, contrasting with the red gem on the stone gate.
Boom boom
With a dull sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage leading underground.
Feng Ziang and Zeus looked at each other and followed Albert into the passage.
On the walls on both sides of the passage, torches were lit at regular intervals, illuminating the road ahead.
The air was filled with a damp and moldy smell, which made people feel a little depressed.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and they came to a spacious underground secret room.
In the center of the secret room, there is a huge stone platform. There is nothing on the platform except a circular light curtain covering it, emitting a faint blue light.
"Is this the treasure house?" asked Zeus.
Odin shook his head and pointed at the light curtain and said, "No, the treasure house is behind this light curtain. This light curtain is an ancient magic barrier that can only be opened if you find the correct key."
Feng Ziang walked to the stone platform and carefully observed the light curtain, trying to find a way to crack it.
However, the light curtain seemed to be intact. She tried various methods but was unable to shake it at all.
"It is useless," said Odin. "Only the Eye of the World Serpent can break this barrier."
Feng Ziang suddenly realized something. He took out the red gem he had found on the stone gate from his backpack and carefully placed it in the center of the light curtain.
Buzz——
As soon as the red gem touched the light curtain, a buzzing sound was emitted, and the entire secret room began to shake violently.
The color of the light curtain gradually faded and finally disappeared.
On the stone platform, an antique key lay quietly, emitting a faint light.
The shape of the key is very strange, like a coiled snake, with a blue gem inlaid at the snake's head, echoing the red gem.
"This is the key to unlock the artifact shield!"
Albert said excitedly, "Legend has it that this key was made from the fangs of the World Serpent and possesses great power."
Feng Ziang picked up the key and examined it carefully. The key felt cool to the touch and smooth and delicate, like a fine work of art.
"Let's go,"
Zeus said, "Once we have found the key, we can leave now."
Feng Ziang nodded, put the key away, turned around and prepared to leave.
However, just as they were about to leave the treasure house, a cold laugh suddenly echoed in the empty secret room.
"It seems like I'm lucky to meet you guys here..."
