The "Winter Fragment" was given to Stella, and Claire picked up the last long spear fragment, weighed it, and handed it to Xia De:

"Here, there is the power of the stars."

The long spear fragment has a kind of cold gentleness, which is similar to the power of the moon, but not exactly the same. Xia De originally thought that the long spear that came from the temple and was sufficient to shatter stars was the power of fate, but after touching it, he immediately understood that this long spear was also the power of stars, maybe it was even a legendary astral creation.

It's just that the long spear had long been shattered, and the power contained in it was like the last foam before the seawater was dried by the sun, and it was no longer enough to help everyone.

"Can you reverse time and let it return to completeness?"

Matilda beside Emilia suddenly asked the elf softly. She thought she would get a negative answer, but the pointed-eared elf frowned and thought for a while, and then said uncertainly:

"Maybe... I can."

Of course, the current Emilia does not have the power to restore the Fourth Era weapon to completeness. After all, she has not been a Chosen One for long. Even if the elf tribe collects many arcane methods for her to learn, reversing the time of a supernatural weapon to two eras ago is a bit too difficult for her.

The "can" that Emilia said is specifically like this:

"Give me some time to communicate with the time information remaining on the fragment. If there is enough time, I can call out the phantom of this weapon in the long river of time by permanently consuming the remaining power in the fragment.

The phantom can be used, but the power is not as good as the original version, and the phantom is disposable. If you really want to do this, this fragment will become ordinary metal."

The original long spear was also disposable, and Xia De agreed with almost no hesitation:

"No problem, then I will leave it to you next."

The fragment was transferred to Emilia's hands again, and the little elf was very happy that she could help. However, because she had to concentrate on sensing, she would sit on Ali's back for the rest of the journey.

The little unicorn didn't mind either; Emilia in the little elf form could be considered the lightest girl Xia De knew besides Angelina.

And the fact that the Far North tribe was involved with the Fatu people was something everyone did not expect before departure. When Xia De and Emilia were talking, Claire looked at Miss Ai Si Bo Ge with a very complicated expression. Although the split between the two tribes had passed for several thousand years, after knowing that they had common ancestors, she still had many thoughts.

As for Stella, the phantom of the Fourth Era did not strike hard. Although she was knocked flying, she recovered after a little treatment. At this time, the white-haired girl was in a very low mood. Since landing on the island, she seemed to have done nothing useful. Now that she had the opportunity to play her role, she failed to grasp it in the end.

She followed Claire with her head down. The great witch naturally noticed the mood of her apprentice, and she would comfort her on the road ahead.

"The problem now is, we learned ancient secrets, learned the origin of the Fatu people, and even obtained some useful items, but what about the road ahead?"

When everyone was preparing to set off again, Vanessa scanned the surroundings and asked:

"That person just now, wouldn't he have forgotten to say where the passage is? My perception also didn't detect any exit here."

"Generally speaking, ancient tombs of this Fourth Era will be designed with very clever mechanisms, and will deliberately cover up spatial traces. Perhaps, we can start from the candlesticks and chairs."

Mr. Mortis said. Although there were no professional tomb robbers present, Xia De happened to know a Miss Tomb Robber who lived in the Fifth Era. Back then, Miss Liyard told everyone about some anecdotes about tombs in the hut in the Tombstone Wasteland, and when everyone entered the mausoleum of the Giant King together, she also broke many mechanisms relying on her own experience.

"Actually, the mechanism here is very obvious."

Xia De said, letting everyone stay away from the coffin leaning against the wall, and then he summoned flames to re-light the candlesticks on both sides of the chair placed in front of the coffin.

Sure enough, when the flames of the candlesticks lit up together, amidst the rumbling vibration, the coffin moved toward the inside of the rock wall, and then revealed the cave entrance hidden under the coffin.

"What is the principle of this again?"

Megan was quite curious about this, but in this way, everyone could continue to move forward by bypassing the candles and chairs.

But Xia De frowned again.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Xi Wei asked with concern, and Xia De nodded:

"I feel this mechanism is a bit too simple. I'm not worried that this is a trap, the other party doesn't need to do this kind of thing. According to the explanation of that very professional lady I met, this kind of simple mechanism is often to cover up the real treasure."

He didn't let everyone set off immediately, but sat on the stone high-backed chair himself, but nothing happened. Others also put forward their different opinions, but none of them had any effect.

Their time was actually very tight, the teams of the Church and the Prophet Society would catch up at any time, and since there were other passages, maybe other people were also moving toward the "Star-Falling Beast".

Bella tried divination several times, but gained nothing:

"There is a strong source of interference here. Except for you, I have never encountered such strong fate interference. Is this also the power of the Star-Falling Beast? But aren't we still a long way from it?"

Xia De, knowing that time was pressing, looked at Ali, thinking of the little unicorn finding little Liana by relying on strong inspiration inside the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】:

"Ali, can you perceive anything?"

Emilia was not riding on Ali's back at this time. The little unicorn walked over happily when she heard Xia De's call, then circled the candles and chairs three times, and finally let out an "Ang~" sound.

Xia De looked at Emilia, and Emilia translated on her behalf:

"Ali means, where did the coffin just now go after it disappeared?"

Hearing Emilia's words, everyone looked at the wall that the coffin entered. It just seemed to merge into the inside of the wall. And when Xia De extinguished the flames of the candlesticks on both sides, with the rumbling vibration, the coffin slid out of the wall again and covered the entrance of the passage below.

When the coffin appeared, Vanessa also stood by the wall and tested it, confirming that no external objects could follow it into the rock wall. And she obtained information by perceiving the earth, and there should be nothing in the rock wall.

"Then it can only be like this."

The coffin was opened again, and then Xia De curled up and lay beside the small coffin inside. Then the coffin lid was closed, and after the candlestick flames were lit, Xia De entered the inside of the rock wall along with the coffin.

He agreed with everyone to extinguish the flames after three minutes to let the coffin appear. After lying in the coffin and waiting for the vibration to disappear, Xia De tried to push the lid open from the inside. If there was a thick rock layer above the coffin, he certainly couldn't push it open, but this time he pushed it open.

"Ali's idea is correct."

The light of the silver moon illuminated this dark room with a small area inside the rock wall. With Xia De's height, when he stood straight here, his hair even brushed the top of the dark room. The area of the dark room was not large. Except for parking this coffin, less than three meters away from the coffin, a stone pillar supported a square thin stone slab the length of two palms. Light of unknown origin illuminated this stone slab from a high place.

Usually, there should be a treasure chest or gift box on the stone slab, but there was nothing on it:

"Could it be that someone came here in advance and took the things away?"

But then Xia De realized that the thing stored here was the square stone slab that looked like a storage platform. Because he found that the stone slab was not connected to the pillar below, and when he took the stone slab, the light illuminating the stone slab also disappeared.

The thickness of the stone slab was less than two inches (about 5cm), and after getting it, judging from the weight, it should be solid. The side that was originally upward was carved with a regular circle, which was one of the reasons why Xia De thought the stone slab was just a storage platform at first; and the side that was originally downward was carved with ancient characters of the Fourth Era—

【Since you can find it, please take it away. But please do not force it open to take out the contents. At the right time, it will appear on its own.】

"What could be hidden inside such a thin stone slab... Manifold Cards?"

Xia De thought in confusion, but no matter how he perceived it, he could not perceive that there was anything inside the stone slab. However, time was really too late, so he didn't continue to explore, but took the stone slab and lay back into the coffin.

After returning to the team, he shared what he saw and heard with the people traveling with him. Others couldn't see what could be in it, but everyone praised Ali's keenness.

Then the passage opened and the group continued to move forward, and the flames on the candlesticks on both sides automatically went out shortly after the group left, letting the coffin cover the entrance to continue forward again.

The passage connected by the entrance under the coffin was still a regular wall like a tomb passage, but after walking forward for more than ten minutes, the passage returned to the appearance of a natural crack in the ground, which meant that the group officially left the scope of the mausoleum.

Claire whispered to Stella, comforting her apprentice. The stone slab Xia De found just now was held by Matilda, because he found that the thing could not be turned into a toy.

After crossing the mausoleum, although the road ahead was not completely straight, it was almost all the way forward, and there were no branches anymore.

Xia De and Miss Ai Si Bo Ge walked at the very front of the team, while Vanessa, who was at the thirteenth level, brought up the rear with Megan at the end of the team. The team of more than 30 people was not stretched very long, the light illuminated the range of at least 20 meters before and after the team, and most people were silent and prepared to deal with sudden situations.

Miss Ai Si Bo Ge asked Xia De softly:

"Since that figure just now said that only three people can attack the Star-Falling Beast at the same time, how do you plan to arrange the candidates?"
