Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 825 - 502: You Say This Is... a Tomb?

Especially, he had no idea why there was a statue of him underground!

This was too outrageous!

"Eh?" While inspecting the statue, under the flickering firelight, he was momentarily dazzled by a glint on the statue.

He stepped back half a step, and the glint flickered again.

It was a reflection.

The firelight was reflected back by something unknown.

It was...

An earring?

The position of the earring!

Xu Xin immediately stepped forward to inspect the enormous earring carefully.

Because the head of the statue itself was huge, the earring was also very large, approximately as thick as his forearm, and the design was somewhat strange.

He had already examined this earring carefully before and hadn’t found any abnormalities.

The light was coming from...

The inner side of the earring, near the neck!

He leaned in to take a closer look.

Then his eyes widened slightly.

He couldn’t see anything in the darkness, but under the firelight, the inner side of the earring was actually made of a transparent glass piece about the size of a fingernail!

Xu Xin reached his hand toward that spot, attempting to touch and press it.

But it was useless.

It didn’t trigger any mechanism either.

Not a button?

But...

This earring definitely had a problem.

He grabbed the earring and tugged hard downward.

It wouldn’t budge. He had tried this before.

He thought for a moment, then tried pushing, pulling, and pressing in various directions, all to no avail.

Then he tried rotating it.

"Click."

A faint sound came from around him.

To his pleasant surprise, the earring in his hand moved slightly.

"It works!"

He immediately applied more force, starting to rotate the earring, which was mostly bar-shaped.

The upper half of the earring remained immobile, but the lower half began to turn slowly, forming a thin gap in the middle.

"Boom... Boom..."

The ground in the pit began to shake with Xu Xin’s rotation!

"Whee? Whee whee whee!"

"What’s going on? Did you find something?"

Lou Fei’Er immediately picked up Keke, who was running around on the ground, and swiftly returned to Xu Xin’s side.

At that moment, the earring in Xu Xin’s hand reached its limit.

"Boom!"

A rumbling sound came from the direction of the stone door they had discovered earlier.

The sound came from inside the stone door, but it did not open.

Lou Fei’Er quickly ran over, pushed the stone door hard, then turned back and shook her head, saying, "It’s still not working."

Xu Xin frowned, letting go of the earring in his hand.

"Boom... Boom..."

The ground began to shake again, and the earring slowly rotated back to its original position.

... There’s another one on the other side!

Xu Xin went to the other earring and began to rotate it.

"Boom... Boom...!"

The ground shook more violently!

That’s it!

Both earrings needed to be rotated, but...

The other one would return to its original position, needing two people!

"Come over, let’s rotate this earring together." Xu Xin said to Lou Fei’Er, who was still observing by the door.

"Okay, I’m coming!"

Lou Fei’Er immediately ran over to the other earring and started rotating it like Xu Xin.

"Boom... Boom...!"

The ground began to shake violently.

"Click..."

The sound came from the direction of the stone door, and both of them looked that way, only to see the thick stone door slowly opening as they rotated the earrings in their hands.

"It’s opening!" Lou Fei’Er said joyously.

Finally, both earrings in their hands had rotated to their limits.

"Boom!" A loud noise accompanied by dust falling off the stone door, and the door swung wide open!

Xu Xin tried to let go.

"Boom..."

The earring slowly began to rotate back, and the stone door started to close slowly.

He immediately grabbed the earring, frowning.

"Letting go will close it." Lou Fei’Er also noticed, "After we let go, the door closes slowly, so we need to rush in!"

Xu Xin nodded, "If we rush in, the door will close, can we still get out?"

"Well..."

However, since the door was open, there was no way not to go in.

Moreover, he had to figure out what was going on with that statue!

Xu Xin looked up at the top of the pit.

The top of the pit was very small, the bottom was very large, and the walls tilted outward, with an inclination even exceeding 90 degrees.

So anyone who jumped in here, unless they had an enhanced jumping ability like him, could hardly get out.

Moreover, the temperature in this cave exceeded forty degrees, and with the fire lit, it surpassed fifty degrees, which normal people could not tolerate.

He gave up the idea of having someone come over to watch out for them.

Forget it, when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten!

"I’ll count down from three to one, and we’ll let go and rush in!"

"Okay!"

"Whee!"

"Three."

"Two,"

"One!"

"Go!"

The two released their hold, and amidst the ground’s "boom boom" vibrations, they swiftly dashed toward the stone door twenty meters away, rushing in before it closed completely!

"We’re in!"

"Boom!"

They turned to look back.

The stone door behind them had fully closed.

It seemed there was only one way forward now.
