Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 122: Bad luck

Alex flinched slightly when he saw the collapsed cave, revealing a large hole. He furrowed his brow and moved slowly towards the hole, feeling confused inside.

Although he didn't know what the hole was, his intuition told him that something very special was inside. He approached and discovered that it was a stone staircase leading down below.

Curious, Alex placed his foot on the stone steps. One step... two steps... three steps...

Feeling that the stairs were stable, he began to descend further. At the same time, in the darkness, Noan and Vylyss also saw this scene.

Especially Vylyss, who suddenly felt a wave of doubt about her search energy. It should be known that in the past, she and the Urlgan and Urlgug groups had thoroughly searched this forest but found nothing strange.

After reaching rank B, she again used a magic spell to search every corner of the forest, but it was still futile.

Now, Alex was sitting quietly in the cave when it suddenly collapsed, revealing the stone stairs that led down below. Vylyss felt very confused, wondering what exactly was going on.

Noan could clearly tell what Vylyss was thinking. He gently patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I don't blame you."

Vylyss felt a warmth in her heart at those words, but she also felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment in herself. She rested her head against Noan's chest and softly whispered, "Master, I'm sorry."

He simply patted Vylyss's back lightly, not saying anything more. After all, he knew well that everyone's fate was different. Alex was a 'Fate Holder', and indeed, he would have his unique opportunities that others couldn't take.

If Vylyss discovered Alex's fate, other Fate Holders would surely cease.

That's why he honestly didn't blame Vylyss. On the contrary, thanks to her, he also learned how to detect the fate of the Fate Holders.

Although this particular fate was not his, Noan wanted to test whether he could claim Alex's fate. Vylyss and Noan, hiding in the shadows, were surrounded by the dark veil created by Vylyss's magic, following Alex from behind.

Of course, as long as Vylyss wished, even if Noan and she were right beside Alex, Alex wouldn't be able to detect them.

After descending, it was very dark below. Even if he stretched out his hand before him, Alex couldn't see his fingers. Fortunately, with Vylyss beside him, Noan was able to see everything around them thanks to her magic clearly.

However, Noan also felt that Alex was truly very lucky. Despite the darkness, he could still step steadily on the stairs without falling.

After about ten minutes, Alex saw a beam of light in the distance. He began to quicken his pace, simultaneously preparing himself mentally for the possible appearance of a monster.

After all, this cave was so mysterious, and it wouldn't be strange if some odd creature or monster appeared.

At that moment, Noan and Vylyss also saw the distant light. He frowned and said, "Vylyss!"

Even though Noan didn't say anything, Vylyss still knew what he wanted. She closed her eyes, and a wave of magic spread everywhere. This time, Vylyss didn't want to disappoint Noan again. She used all her abilities to search every corner of the area.

A moment later, before Alex could reach the light, Vylyss opened her eyes and said, "Master, there is nothing dangerous around, and moreover, I can use teleportation magic here."

"There's an ancient tomb ahead, and inside the tomb, there's a small chest. Master, would you like to go there first?"

Noan frowned, thinking for a moment before deciding to go there first. After all, Vylyss could use teleportation magic here, and even if danger arose, he could always escape.

That's right, he thought about running away first instead of staying behind to fight. He wasn't a fool and didn't want to risk his strength and life in a battle if there was any danger.

Even if there was a treasure inside, he didn't want to gamble his fate to find it. If he died, no matter how great the treasure was, he wouldn't be able to use it.

Noan thought for a moment before asking, "Is there any danger inside?"

Vylyss shook her head, "Master, I haven't detected any danger at all."

Noan still wasn't reassured, so he immediately said, "Check again. If there really is no danger, then we will proceed inside."

"However, after we enter, you must ensure the concealment magic still works."

Vylyss, hearing that, didn't dare object. After all, she had failed many times before, which embarrassed her greatly. Because of this, she decided to check once more. This time, she used dark magic to examine areas the naked eye couldn't see.

After a moment, she furrowed her brow, opened her eyes, and said, "Master, there is truly no danger inside, only a bit of protective magic left."

"However, the energy required to maintain these spells is almost depleted, so it won't have any effect on us."

Noan, hearing this, nodded lightly and said, "Alright, but we still need to remain cautious, understood?"

Vylyss immediately took his hand. To ensure their safety, she cast three additional magical barriers around them.

Then, Vylyss transported them to another place.

When they opened their eyes, Noan saw that he and Vylyss were in a strange room.

The room was very large, with stones arranged randomly and connected by something resembling mud.

The most peculiar thing was that in the center of the room, there was a large pit, more than ten meters in diameter, and the bottom was not visible.

Noan furrowed his brow because he could feel a cold and eerie aura that made him shiver in fear.

"Master, this pit seems like a mass grave; there are many human bones inside." Vylyss spoke up, "It seems to have been here for a long time, so the bones at the bottom have become fragile, and they'll break apart if touched."

Noan stepped back a step, keeping a slight distance from the pit.

Although Vylyss said there was no danger in the pit, he still needed to be a bit more cautious.

"Vylyss, the chest you mentioned... where is it?" Noan asked.

"Master, wait a moment." Vylyss replied, then waved her hand. A chain shot down straight into the pit.

After a moment, Vylyss pulled the chain up. The chain, resembling a snake, wrapped tightly around a small chest that appeared in front of Noan.

Seeing the small black chest in front of him, Noan smiled with satisfaction. However, he still asked Vylyss, "Try searching a little more, see if there's anything special around?"

Upon hearing Noan's request, Vylyss immediately closed her eyes again, releasing her magical energy to spread out and probe into even the smallest corners.

After a moment, Vylyss withdrew her magic, shook her head, and said, "Master, there's nothing else."

Noan nodded, stored the chest in his 'Storage', and said, "Let's stay hidden for now."

Vylyss, hearing that Noan didn't plan to leave immediately, felt confused. However, she didn't argue and quietly followed his command.

The two of them patiently stood inside the magical shield, waiting. After a long time, they saw the door of the room slowly creak open.

Krit! Krit! Krit!

The door seemed to have been closed for a long time, so when it was opened, dust flew up like mist.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Alex coughed a few times as too much dust entered his nose. Suddenly, the torches mounted along the walls of the room immediately burst into flames.

Noan, seeing this scene, furrowed his brow. When they entered earlier, those torches weren't burning. Could it be that the opening of the door triggered some of the magic spells already set in the room?

He patiently continued to observe.

Alex entered the room, looking at the large pit in the middle of the room, feeling utterly confused. Thanks to the light from the torches, he could clearly see strange drawings and symbols on the wall of the room.
