Chapter 1224: Fairy Lake
Li Wenfeng was excited for a while, then turned to look around, saw no one, and took out the roll of parchment, drawing a few lines on it.
After he finished drawing, he put away the parchment and then turned and went down, Lin Tian sent a message to Rossi to be careful of Li Wenfeng and also followed from a distance.
Following Li Wenfeng, Lin Tian climbed over the academy wall, came to the back of the Knight Academy, walked a few hundred meters, and reached the place indicated by the refracted beams of crystal.
On the other side of the hillside, there is a natural lake, said to be a lake, but actually not very large, like a mountain reservoir. On the lakeshore, there stands a Stele, on which the name of this lake is recorded in English: Fairy Lake.
They called it Fairy Lake, Lin Tian was a bit surprised, back then, King Arthur obtained the Sword of the King in the Fairy Lake, of course, Lin Tian knew, this lake is not the historic Fairy Lake.
Probably the people of Holy Spirit Town named this small lake "Fairy Lake" to commemorate King Arthur, just the same name, and there is no fairy statue in the center of the lake.
However, even so, the scenery of this lake does not disgrace the name "Fairy Lake", the calm waters like a Princess quietly waiting for her Prince.
Lin Tian is not a Prince, but Li Wenfeng is wealthier than a Prince, just that his behavior at the moment is far from princely. Li Wenfeng is checking around the ground of the hillside like a thief, but the ancient trees on the hillside make the exploration work not so easy.
He searched for a while, having no clue, he took out the parchment to search against it, finally stopping in front of a huge ancient tree.
Li Wenfeng cautiously tapped the tree trunk, making "thump thump" dull sounds, a normal tree trunk should sound rather crisp to tap, the sound of this ancient tree meant its inside was hollow.
Walking around the tree trunk in a circle, Li Wenfeng did not discover any entrance, he jumped forcefully and climbed onto the tree, in a few moves he was on top of the tree.
Lin Tian also jumped onto another tree, activated super vision, looking towards the tree top, the top of the ancient tree where Li Wenfeng was located was very wide, even with a lot of soil accumulated on top, in the soil grew various wild grass plants.
Li Wenfeng started digging the soil, surprisingly revealing a slab, on the slab were carved mysterious magical patterns, and there was a handle. He grasped the handle forcefully pulled, with a "crunch" sound, the slab was lifted, and in the middle of the tree trunk, exposed a pitch-black hole.
There was actually a tree hole in the tree trunk, sealed with a slab, obviously, this was man-made. Li Wenfeng hesitated for a moment, took a piece of mud and threw it into the tree hole, a long time later, a slight echo came from inside the tree hole, this was a very deep hole.
Seeing no danger, Li Wenfeng turned on the flashlight on his phone and walked into the tree hole. After he entered for a few minutes, Lin Tian also climbed onto this tree, close and saw the interior of the tree hole, even more amazed inside.
The core of this ancient tree has actually been hollowed out half, the space inside is huge, a spiral staircase twisting downward, straight to the tree root, even penetrating into the ground.
Lin Tian also lightly stepped into the tree hole, following the stairs down, the stairs were paved with slabs, so, even covered in moss, the years haven't corroded it.
But the vitality of this ancient tree is amazing, with its core hollowed out still growing so lush.
After passing through the tree roots, entering the underground, there is a winding passage underground, though the passage is surrounded by rock, the strong tree roots still grew in, into the passage.
So the passage is not desolate but instead full of all kinds of strange plants, looking vibrant. When Lin Tian arrived at the passage, Li Wenfeng had already walked to the depths, however, there is only one passage here, Lin Tian was not worried he could escape anywhere.
Walking a long section of the passage, the front suddenly opens into a spacious area, it is an underground chamber the size of a basketball court. The underground chamber environment was distinctly different from the outside passage, damp with moss and various plants, while the chamber was very dry.
But the chamber seemed not the end, as Li Wenfeng was standing in front of a large door thinking, considering how to open the door.
This is a at least five meters high stone door, inheriting the grand and dignified style of Ancient Roman Temple architecture, the magical patterns on it and on the crystal base exactly the same.
Li Wenfeng suddenly stepped forward, stretched out both hands, pressing palms on the door, then pushed hard, the stone door vibrated, falling a sky full of dust.
But Li Wenfeng had no intention to stop, still increasing the force, as he exerted power, the stone door vibrated more and more, also accompanied by a piercing grinding sound.
"Hi..."
Li Wenfeng exhaled loudly, golden light promptly appeared on his arms, the energy in his body seemingly rushing into his hands. Under the force of this power, the stone door emitted "ka ka ka" sounds, then one door slowly opened.
As the opening of the stone door became wider and wider, Lin Tian hidden behind finally saw the scene behind the door. Behind the door is a grand hall, very similar to the Knight Hall, two rows of towering Roman columns supporting the dome of the underground hall.
At the very inside of the hall, there is a stone platform, on the platform stands a tall statue, the statue expression serious, wearing heavy armor, holding a giant sword with both hands, resting it on the ground.
"King Arthur, this is the statue of King Arthur, the Sword of the King must be in the temple!" Li Wenfeng looked at the statue, excitedly muttering to himself.
He didn't wait for the stone door to fully open, couldn't wait to run inside, Lin Tian also quietly walked into the hall, hidden behind a Roman column.
Li Wenfeng directly ran to the statue, but as he stepped on the staircase to the platform, the originally empty front suddenly flashed light, a light screen appeared, bouncing Li Wenfeng back, landing on the ground.
With the appearance of the light screen, lights sequentially lit up within the hall, on both sides of the hall, every certain distance there was an oil lamp, at this moment all the oil lamps fully lit up. Lighting these oil lamps, unknown whether witchcraft or mechanism.
Li Wenfeng stood up from the ground, looking at the light screen in front, not frustrated, instead laughed, because he knew he found the right place.
He walked to the front of the stairs, gave a knight's salute, respectfully said: "Guardian, I am the inheritor of King Arthur's Cultivation Technique, today I came to the temple just to obtain the Sword of the King, inherit King Arthur's great spirit!"
This startled Lin Tian behind, Li Wenfeng's cultivation technique unexpectedly comes from King Arthur, however, his latter half made Lin Tian disdain, inheriting King Arthur's great spirit, such slogans are still unscrupulously said.
But Li Wenfeng's words actually received a response, behind the light screen a voice said: "How do you prove?"
Li Wenfeng did not speak, but instead stretched out his right hand, simultaneously, golden light emerged from his palm, identical to the scene when he pushed the stone door.
