Ji Wuchen frowned deeply, staring intently at the cylinder before him, as if trying to see through its hard shell to uncover the secrets hidden within.
He stretched out his fingers and gently, slowly, tenderly stroked the surface of the cylinder, feeling the texture of the engraved words, while also feeling a chilling coldness emanating from his fingertips.
"This can't possibly be just an illusion... but why is the cylinder not reacting at all?" Ji Wuchen pondered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Ye Ying, standing to the side, remained silent as well. After exchanging a glance with Ji Wuchen, a strong sense of doubt welled up in both of their hearts.
Time flowed by, seemingly stretched out infinitely. Ye Ying, Ji Wuchen, and the little white fox Tianyao stood silently, their eyes fixed on the cylinder, their hearts filled with anticipation, hoping it would bring them some enlightenment or bring about some changes.
However, after a long wait, the cylinder remained motionless, as if it had entered a deep slumber.
Finally, Ye Ying couldn't help but say, "Perhaps we should leave here and look for other clues elsewhere." Ji Wuchen nodded in agreement.
Just as they turned to leave, a strange noise suddenly came from behind them.
They turned around in astonishment to see that the once lifeless cylinder had begun to tremble slightly, and then beams of colorful, dazzling light, like a rainbow, suddenly burst forth from its interior.
These lights were dazzling and radiant, instantly illuminating the entire space.
About two or three minutes later, a crack suddenly appeared in the very center of the cylinder, shaped exactly like a cave.
In the blink of an eye, a mysterious box suddenly appeared out of the hole like a ghost.
This box is exquisitely crafted and is clearly some kind of ingeniously designed mechanism.
Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen stared in disbelief at what was happening before them, their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg inside.
Xiao Bai was also surprised.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion; they couldn't understand why such a mysterious mechanical box would suddenly appear.
Ji Wuchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He slowly walked forward, his steps as light as a cat's, as if afraid of disturbing some unknown danger. When he reached out to pick up the box, his fingers trembled slightly, as if the box weighed a ton.
He held the box in his hands and examined it carefully. The lid was inlaid with many dazzling gemstones, each one sparkling like stars in the sky. Each gemstone possessed a unique charm, captivating the viewer.
Ye Ying leaned closer curiously and asked in a low voice, "What exactly is in here?"
Ji Wuchen shook his head, frowned, and said, "I don't know either, but it seems that this box is hiding some kind of secret." After saying that, they looked at each other and decided to uncover the mystery together.
However, when they tried to open the box, they discovered it seemed to be equipped with a complex mechanism. A slight misstep could lead to unpredictable consequences. Therefore, the two became more cautious and dared not act rashly.
