Chapter 121: Flashing Golden Pyramid

  Under the leadership of Minotaur's Fist, the relic exploration team went straight to the center of the maze and arrived at the end point of this expedition in just half a day. If it weren't for the fact that Minotaur wanted to test his non-existent talent at the beginning, wasting a lot of time, these people should have been able to arrive even faster.

  Although the four humans in the team did not say anything because of the Minotaur's identity, the Minotaur walking ahead to clear the path could still clearly feel the resentment from the people behind him. After arriving at the center of the ruins, what appeared before Mo Yan and others was a building that could dazzle a dog's eyes.

  Innumerable precious magical materials were used to construct a dense, intricate magic circle that was placed atop a gigantic golden pyramid. The magical fluctuations emitted by the magic circle resembled ocean waves and materialized as massive rays of light. If not for the magic circle guiding this power, the enormous magical spirits would not be able to operate in an orderly fashion, and the explosive, chaotic flow of magical energy would render all of Elen unable to use magical items or magic circles for a considerable amount of time.

  Such magical power made Rize, as a great magician, feel inexplicable tension and worry. Judging from the ancient degree of this ruin, energy of this scale should have been consumed long ago, but after at least ten thousand years, the energy here is still so turbulent, making Rize unable to imagine what kind of energy core is powering these magic arrays.

  To protect Claude and the others' eyes, Reiss used a Black Barrier to block out most of the light. Originally this spell was invented for use in battle to prevent enemies from seeing, but using it for this reason now is also a reasonable compromise.

  However, Mo Yan, who had magical resistance, was a problem. The Black Barrier Technique couldn't work on him, and if he got close to the dazzling golden pyramid, the blinding white light would make it almost impossible for Mo Yan to see anything. Just as Rize was at a loss for what to do, the Minotaur slowly pulled out a strange object from his pocket and put it over his eyes.

  On a frame made of iron that fits the skull of a Minotaur, two thin sheets made from black crystal were fixed. The exquisite craftsmanship of the dwarves made the thickness of the two black crystals almost identical. The special properties of the black crystal allowed this thing to block strong light while also allowing the wearer to see things clearly in front of them. This strange object piqued everyone's interest, and Jones couldn't take his eyes off Mo Yan's face after he put it on.

  "This thing is called a pair of sunglasses." Mo Yan looked at the curious eyes of several people and smiled, "Just a few days ago I just asked the dwarf to make it, after a while it will probably be available in the store of Lei Ting Village, after all, it's not something too complicated. Recently, a crystal mine was discovered near Shengfei, where there are many pure black crystals."

  When Mo Yan finished speaking, the crowd temporarily put away their curiosity. Since it would be available in stores after a while, they could just get one then. It wasn't some expensive magical item anyway. After solving Mo Yan's problem, the expedition team headed towards the glittering golden pyramid filled with magic arrays.

  The ground between the labyrinthine walls and the pyramid was made of an unknown substance, not only abnormally flat but also spotlessly white. Rize could also feel a flow of energy beneath the white ground, heading towards an unknown place, which made Rize feel even more danger. As the distance slowly drew closer, the height of the pyramid slowly began to grow larger.

  The golden pyramid, which didn't seem very tall from a distance, only revealed its grandeur and magnificence when we walked up to it. However, a problem soon arose - after Mo Yan and others spent quite some time circling the pyramid, they couldn't find any road that could lead them inside.

  Mo Yan's fist could only leave a small dent on the tower and couldn't create an entrance from the outside of the pyramid like it did with the maze wall. If he couldn't find a weak spot, even if Mo Yan continued to punch and expand the hole, he wouldn't be able to enter in a short amount of time.

  "There must be something suppressed here." Rize said to Mo Yan during the break: "Although I don't recognize most of the spell arrays here, judging from the structure of these spell arrays, I think that on top of this strange building, most of the magic arrays are seal-type. Inside is either a powerful semi-divine creature or a powerful item being sealed."

  "I always feel a bit uneasy in my heart." Mo Yan, who was sitting under the golden pyramid, finally received some kind of influence and had a desire to destroy everything, saying: "No matter what's inside, I think it won't be anything good. Even I'm affected just by being outside the seal, who knows what will happen if we go in?"

  "I never thought that under Mount Yuliko, there would be such a huge space." Aruba, who had fallen silent after seeing the glittering golden pyramid, heard Mo Yan's words and said: "And I think the things in this strange building must have some connection with our village customs. I've heard the village chief say that originally, the activities of Wuna were something that all Sart people from the entire Eran participated in."

  "Why are there so many magical arrays here? I remember that Eran was supposed to be a place without magical materials." Reg, who came from Maro, was even more concerned about why this ruin had so many magical arrays. Just building a pyramid like this would require tons of magical materials, not to mention the countless magical traps they encountered on their way here.

  "That's exactly why Eran doesn't have any magical materials." Riesz said in a low voice, "In order to build such a place, all of Eran's magical materials must have been concentrated here. I think it would be better if we didn't go inside, whatever is in there, it's not something that people like us can handle."

  Ryze's words struck a chord with most people, and Claude, Aruba, and Regal all felt an intense sense of danger. Their years of combat experience told them that this was not a place to advance recklessly. Since they couldn't find the entrance anyway, it would be better to leave now, after all, they had already found the reason why the demons went crazy.

  "If you don't die, you won't really die." Mo Yan shook his head and said: "But sometimes if you don't die, you won't really understand some things. Just like the Vikings, if they hadn't sailed west that year, they wouldn't have discovered the New World. And if many people hadn't died trying to fly, then airplanes wouldn't have been invented. You want to leave me? I won't stop you, but I want to see what's inside this golden pyramid."

  Although everyone didn't understand what Vikings and airplanes were in Mo Yan's mouth, they knew that Mo Yan was determined to enter the pyramid. If this was an adventure team composed of friends, most people would have made a helpless gesture at this time and finally chosen to follow Mo Yan to find a way into the pyramid.

  However, the situation here is not like that. Riesz came to Thunderhead to study the intelligent talking Minotaur. Regal hated the war between Marlo and Carthage and chose to stay in Elan, which was relatively peaceful despite being dangerous. He could help Mo Yan with things but wouldn't die for him. Aruba had some connection with Mo Yan, but it wasn't deep enough for him to follow him into death, not to mention he still had a sister to take care of.

  It goes without saying that everyone except Jones chose to teleport away. Mo Yan was not disappointed with this result, because in his view it was perfectly normal. After all, apart from paying these people's salaries, Mo Yan had no other connection with them. This was not a heroic warrior surrounded by comrades, and those who took money to do things would not joke about using their own lives for the leader.

  "A bunch of ungrateful guys!" Jones exclaimed, stomping his foot and waving his hands as he watched the few people who had turned into a faint glow disappear. Jones' pale face turned bright red with anger, which made Mo Yan think that this situation was quite good too.

  Mo Yan had originally planned to let Jones leave as well, after all, that way he could be more relaxed, and if there was any particular danger, he wouldn't have to take care of her. However, Jones insisted on going with Mo Yan into the golden pyramid in front of them, which was said to hold dangerous goods, and Mo Yan had no choice but to compromise.

  And Jones, although not yet an adult, as a dragon tribe, her strength is tens of times stronger than Rize who left. Even if Moyan wants to kill a dragon, it's not something that can be done immediately, so if there's danger in the process, Jones should have had the opportunity to teleport away.

  "So next is to find a way in." The Minotaur lifted its own bull head, gazing up at the radiant golden pyramid and muttered to itself: "Since there's no entrance around it, the only possibility... is that it's at the top."
