220 There Are Indeed Good Things In The Underground Ruins
The Hydra’s answer stunned everyone. They didn’t expect the Hydra to not know about it after he built such suspense about the whole thing.
They realized that the nine-headed Hydra was being sarcastic! “The Light Princess is in the underground ruins. She is fighting the ancient dead souls now.”
The Lords didn’t understand what the nine-headed snake meant. But their heroes understood.
“It looks like she is in trouble,” said the Fallen Angel in a serious tone of voice.
As the former deputy to the King of Heaven, he had more understanding of the ancient empire than the others.
That ancient empire had been destroyed precisely because it threatened the King of Heaven!
While the Fallen Angel and the others were dealing with the Light-Types, Su Wan took another path down to the underground ruins with Xu Yuan.
“Xu Yuan, do you think that the ruins are different from before?” asked Su Wan. “The other ruins we went to felt so dead. These ruins feel more alive somehow.”
She felt strange, as though the underground ruins were alive and watching her.
“Hm… I don’t feel anything. I don’t know,” said Xu Yuan. He looked around and shook his head. But he did notice that these ruins were different.
“This is strange,” said Su Wan. “Where are the others?”
They had wandered into the ruins for a while now, but they didn’t see the Fallen Angel and the others anywhere.
Su Wan could sense the location of her troops because she was their Lord. She led the way and they both went to find the others.
Su Wan felt that something was wrong here. She carried Xu Yuan and walked in the direction where she could sense her troops. However, she did not meet the Fallen Angel and the others there.
‘This is all wrong!’ thought Su Wan. The four heroes had taken numerous soldiers with them. With such a huge team, Su Wan should have been able to sense their location correctly.
Su Wan became vigilant. “Where are we?”
She realized that they had reached a strange place in the ruins. The ruins had many things still intact. She could see that some units looked like palaces. The wall was carved with a complicated pattern.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan had been unable to guess which part of the ruin these were. They saw a coffin that was stuck to the wall with a strange pattern.
“It can’t be…,” mumbled Su Wan. “Is this the tomb of the emperor?” She felt a chill run down her spine.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan was excited. “Could that have an Elemental Heart inside?” he asked.
“Who knows?” Su Wan’s voice trembled.
At this moment, they had arrived at the end of the special building. There was a stone door blocking the way.
“What do we do now?” Su Wan felt dread. She wanted to leave this place. Perhaps she could come here again with a troop to protect her.
‘Yes. That would be safer,’ thought Su Wan.
Xu Yuan, however, had no such reluctance. He approached the stone door and sank a claw in it. His claw easily pierced the door.
“It’s just a door,” he said disdainfully.
Su Wan was stunned. “I am telling you. Don’t be too–”
She didn’t even get the time to finish her words. Xu Yuan tore at the door with his claws. The entire stone door was split into halves.
BOOM!
An empty space appeared in front of them. There were all kinds of coffins inside!
On the podium, there was another gorgeous coffin.
“Who is it?” said an ancient and desolate voice. “Who dares disturb my long sleep?”
“This is not good!” whispered Su Wan frantically. “Xu Yuan, let’s go!”
Su Wan got goosebumps all over her hands. A chill went through her. The enemy was terrifying. Her body was begging for her to run away. If they were not careful, they might die here without even a corpse to be found later.
She wanted to escape, but Xu Yuan didn’t move. He was staring at the coffin carefully.
“Is there something important in that coffin?” he asked. “I can feel it! I can feel an Elemental Heart!” He was excited. “Maybe the emperor had been an ancient Lord!”
Xu Yuan was thinking about the Territory Core of the ancient empire, which must have been owned by the emperor. In the ancient past, there weren’t as many rules as there were today in the Overlord Plane.
Many Lords didn’t have a distinctive Territory Core, but they had Elemental hearts!
“Don’t!” said Su Wan in fear. “Let’s just leave, okay? Please!”
Su Wan was pleading. She knew that something was wrong with this place. She was terrified!
All of a sudden, a baby’s cry rang out from somewhere. Another cry followed, and another, until countless baby cries erupted from everywhere.
“It’s the coffins!” said Su Wan. The cries were coming from the coffins.
Su Wan wondered if all those coffins held dead babies inside them. She didn’t want to know. She just wanted to flee from here as soon as possible.
BOOM!
The gorgeous coffin on the podium opened and a skeleton in golden armor got out of it.
“Kneel and pay your respects upon seeing me!” roared the Golden-Armored Emperor.
The lids of the other coffins opened one by one and bloodied babies crawled out of them.
“What is that?” Su Wan was horrified.
Unlike Su Wan, Xu Yuan stared straight ahead at the Golden-Armored Emperor. He noticed an important item on the skeleton.
“A Legendary Elemental heart! There are good things in these ruins!” said Xu Yuan. He activated Demon Dragon Wings, turned into a shadow, and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the pendant on the Golden-Armored Emperor’s neck disappeared too.
“What?” The Golden-Armored Emperor looked around in confusion.
