Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Escape from the Secret Room
 

“Did he ever say exactly how he died?”

“Maybe he passed away peacefully in his sleep. After all, the inscription was quite serene, and he lived here for a full 50 years.”

“My god, 50 years. That’s really quite a stretch to endure.”

“Right, so not just anyone could do it. That’s why, after seeing these things, I realized some things can be obtained, but some should never be acquired.”

“Does that mean, on this trip to Xi Lian Mountain, we can’t take anything from here?”

“Correct, there’s no way to take anything with us.”

“No, I don’t think that’s the case.”

“What do you mean?”

“Have you seen the walls around us?”

As he spoke, he gestured around them.

All of Ling’er’s attention was focused on the book at that moment; she hadn’t noticed anything amiss with the walls of the room.

“The walls?”

Ling’er muttered to herself and then walked over to the walls, where she indeed found many symbols and some drawings.

“This… this looks like a method for planting plants, doesn’t it?”

“Exactly. He etched the method here. If that’s the case, we need to find the right environment and then plant the precious herbs out there using his method.”

“That’s great, then. I’ll record this right away.”

“No need. While you were browsing the text, I’ve already taken pictures of all the murals and inscriptions on the sarcophagus. We can study them in detail once we’re outside.”

“Ok, then. It seems it’s time for us to leave this place.”

Lin Yi nodded in response, took a deep breath, and then turned to look at Ling’er.

“Are you ready?”

He knew that once they left this time, it had to be in one go, and if they managed to complete everything successfully, then the light of victory would be theirs.

Ling’er nodded but didn’t speak. She stepped forward and gently pressed a spot.

To their surprise, the mechanism was incredibly responsive. The area she pressed sank in immediately,

and they heard the massive rumbling of stones. It felt as if the entire room was shaking.

Lin Yi clearly saw the stone door opening again.

It appeared they had not been deceived.

“So, we can leave now?”

“Yes, we can leave.”

Lin Yi walked over and carefully placed the book back on the metal box.

“Ling’er, what are you doing? Don’t you want to take the book with you?”

“Take it with me? Why should I? If someday other people find their way here and discover this book, it could save their lives.”

Upon reflection, what Ling’er said made sense.

In their moment of need, this book had indeed been their lifesaver. It seemed the person had foreseen all this and that someday someone would enter this room.

After replacing all the items, they moved quickly and both walked out through the stone door once more.

As soon as they stepped out, Lin Yi noticed the candles inside the room went out instantly, and the stone door began to close slowly again.

This closure might last many years, but perhaps one day, it could be opened again. Lin Yi wasn’t interested in those sorts of investigations, so he didn’t want to delve into the matter any further.

Then, as the book had mentioned, he took a final look around and noticed several red fruits.

The color was indeed very enticing.

“Is this what he was talking about?”

“Yes, it should be.”

Lin Yi approached and carefully plucked the fruits, one by one, holding them in his hand.

Upon touching the fruits, he felt the divine beasts grow restless, indicating the fruits were significant to them.

“So, what’s the situation now?”

“Didn’t you hear that noise just now?”@@novelbin@@

“Oh, I think I did. Has the door opened over there?”

“I guess it has. Now, when I count to three, let’s throw the fruit as far as we can, distracting them. Then we can make our escape.”

“Got it.”

“1, 2, 3.”

On cue, they swung their arms and threw the fruits with all their might into the abyss.

As expected, the divine beasts were lured by the fruits and rushed toward them.

In the instant they vanished, Lin Yi led the others in a sprint through the passage and out of there.

The moment they escaped, the stone door slammed shut once more.

As it sealed, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from his chest.

“So, it’s closed just like that? Remember, it didn’t close when we first came in; it was open.”

“That proves they’ve lived here long enough to figure out how to manipulate the mechanism. They might find a way to get out.”

“It’s a pity, though. Such important things are left there, but we couldn’t take any of it.”

“Yes, it’s a pity. But at least we’ve maintained the natural balance. This means the local people can continue to live on, relying on this great mountain.”
