"I don't think it's them. Everyone, be careful!" Renault warned, furrowing his brow slightly. Before long,the approaching footsteps grew louder, mingling with grumbles.
"What in the world is this place? It appears so vibrant with lush greenery and a pleasant environment,yet it curiously lacks any signs of life. Throughout the journey, not only did we find nothing, but we evenlost two of our members!" someone grumbled.
Hearing that, both Jared and Cloud exchanged a glance. By listening to the voice, they realized that thenewcomer was Zordey. Behind Zordey were at least a dozen individuals.
All of these individuals had been meandering without a clear purpose on the small island before comingtogether temporarily. It was due to Zordey's power and the substantial number of people with him thatthey naturally gravitated toward him as their focal point.
"Mr. Zupakie, look ahead!" someone suddenly shouted. “An altar! I can't believe we found an altar.There must be something good here!" someone else chimed in excitedly. They attempted to run to thealtar, but Zordey stopped them.
"Everyone, not a single ant can be spotted on this island, but out of the blue, an altar emerges. None ofus can say for certain if it's a potential trap. However, allow me to clarify from the outset that anytreasures we discover here will be distributed evenly among us. Let's preserve a harmoniousatmosphere," Zordey proclaimed with a resounding voice.
"Of course, Mr. Zupakie."
"Yes, we're a team now."
"We should prioritize harmony when we're all together." While everyone outwardly echoed hissentiments, their true thoughts remained shrouded in mystery.
After all, these individuals had convened only temporarily, and they were strangers to one another. Inthis ruthless world, equal sharing of spoils was a rare prospect.
Never mind if the treasures weren't valuable. If they turned out to be precious treasures, these peoplewould undoubtedly engage in a frenzied scramble. Who would be foolish enough to divide their gains?
Zordey was keenly aware of this, which explained his effort to maintain group cohesion. After all,among this assembly, his influence was the most substantial. If indeed there were any treasures to befound, he would undoubtedly be the one calling the shots.
With caution, Zordey and the others approached the altar. Initially, they were exceedingly vigilant, butas they observed the aged and diminutive altar, which seemed on the verge of collapse at any moment,they began to lower their guard.
"This altar appears to have been constructed by a certain tribe. What sort of treasure could possiblyremain? It seems to have weathered many years and is likely depleted," someone commented, theirexpression filled with disappointment.novelbin
"I'll head up there to investigate," a cultivator with a scarred face declared, leaping onto the altarwithout hesitation.
Upon closer inspection, he spotted the sealing stone. At that instant, the sealing stone emitted a faintglow, with its engraved runes: continuously shifting. Upon witnessing this spectacle, the cultivator'seyes widened.
"Eureka! There's treasure on this altar!" he exclaimed with excitement. The moment the word "treasure"reached their ears, the others jumped onto the altar as well.
Their astonishment was evident when they laid eyes on the sealing stone. No one had anticipated thatsuch a decrepit altar could house such a stone!
Nevertheless, none of these individuals possessed the knowledge to decipher the runes inscribed onthe sealing stone, leaving them unable to discern its purpose.
"This stone is definitely a treasure. What do you think those engravings on it mean?" someone askedcuriously, reaching out to touch it.
However, as soon as the cultivator's hand came into contact with the sealing stone, a powerful forceinstantly sent him flying. Seeing this, everyone quickly backed away from the sealing stone and staredat it in amazement.
"I didn't expect this stone to have its own defense mechanism. It's definitely a treasure. We need to finda way to take it with us," Zordey said, his eyes gleaming.
