Chapter 308: Labyrinth of Truth (1)
Prince Lin Yan looked meaningfully at Lin Xiao. He had just found out that his younger brother was actually a walking treasure. Just relying on his ability alone, it was clear that there were many places whom the brat could unearth.
How many places had this ancient language?
If not Dragon Language, it would be ancient language and naturally, it also meant that there wouldn’t be any secret left for Lin Xiao as long as he could reach the place.
’Is this because he’s the one who inherited Emperor’s Inheritance?’
Prince Lin Yan didn’t know.
"In that case, we’ll pay more attention to it."
"Alright."
Lin Xiao nodded. He also didn’t know how the layout would be inside the labyrinth so they needed to wait until they were inside.
"Hey, why are you pausing there?" Hu Fei noticed his friends had stopped and wondered why. They were still quite a distance away from the door and the others were already preparing to get in.
"Hu Fei, when we get inside, stay behind. I have something to say," Prince Lin Yan sent a voice transmission to Hu Fei.
Hu Fei was stunned. But he knew that his sworn brother would not say anything that was detrimental to him. He rolled his eyes but nodded in the end since there was nothing that he could say anymore.
Boom!
The loud voice resounded from the front. Everyone noticed that there were three elders who stood over there.
Princess Lan Yi Hua hurriedly lowered her eyes. Those three were the grand elders of Hua Lan Kingdom, so they naturally knew her real identity. She had no intention of making them knew that she was here when she was supposed to be in Sun Kingdom.
The three elders then announced. "The Secret Region Underground Cave will open in a moment’s notice. Those who dare to come here have to be ready that the death toll is as high as 80%. That means among 100 people here, only around 20 people will survive in the end.
Be very careful and follow whatever arrangement that your elder had assigned to you before you come here. If you die inside, naturally there wouldn’t be anyone who can possibly help you."
Boom!
The loud voice sounded once more and the three elders rushed back. They were all looking at the secret regions with solemn expression. Not a single one of them dared to say anything as they simply watched the place open.
Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. "Why are they calling it as cave when it’s actually labyrinth."
"That’s because not everyone knows it’s labyrinth." Princess Lan Yi Hua’s lips formed a sneer. "Those high nobles hid the truth so that other people will need to explore first, giving them advantage. I can bet that they already have some map that can help them to explore further and further each exploration."
Lin Xiao then looked at the secret region once more. His mind recalling the letter that he read just now.
’This is the Labyrinth of Truth
Stay true to your heart and follow the path designed for you
Only by then would you be able to reach your destination.’
Based on the three sentences, it was unlikely that they would be able to find their destination by following the fixed path that was already given by the previous person. At least, that was what Lin Xiao felt.
Boom!
When the third loud sound formed, the ground cracked open. The stone platform began to move downwards and there was an entrance at the front. The layer of energy around the energy showed that there was a barrier over there.
"You can move now!"
"Yes!"
Swish! Swish!
They all hurriedly moved and Lin Xiao was paying more attention to the word that was faintly visible above the hole.
100, 99, 98, 97
It continued to decrease as more and more people get in. it was only now Lin Xiao understood that the barrier limited the number of people who could get in each time to 100.
’So that’s why they’re only allowing 100 geniuses at a time.’
However, when Lin Xiao looked around, he could see that the number of geniuses didn’t even reach that number. A single genius could bring some of his men alone, making the number of geniuses who actually came here to be greatly reduced.
’If that princes came here, it’s likely that she might even bring a lot of people around. One genius can bring 5 people? No, it’s more likely that they can only bring 2 people. The other slot must be for Big Brother Yan.’
While Lin Xiao was still thinking, he still stepped forward to follow the group and entered the cave.
The sensation of the barrier hitting him felt quite similar when he was journeying using that teleportation array just now. Lin Xiao was startled for a moment but quickly calmed down when he reached below.
He realized that he was standing on a large stone platform. His eyes lowered to look at the engravings once more as his heart thumped. The writing was different from the one he saw just now.
’This is the Starting point of Labyrinth of Truth
Pick your own path.
Your path that belong to you and you alone.
Only by then would you be able to reach your destination.’
The sentences were similar but it was even more detailed. Lin Xiao looked around and noticed that from the stone platform, there were a total of 12 paths. He was speechless because he could see that each of the paths were going to divide once more.
It meant that the labyrinth would make them turn around and around if they didn’t careful enough.
"Hu Xiao, what’s the text below?" Princess Lan Yi Hua asked.
Lin Xiao quickly answer and told the others too, except for Hu Fei, who could only listen from the side with an annoyed expression. It was clear that he wanted to know but Lin Xiao didn’t tell him.
