With that said, Gerald then began giving The Eight Diagrams a closer look…
After thinking for a while, favonovel.com eventually exclaimed, “I think I get it now! The Eight Diagrams isn’t the mechanism at all! From what I’ve gathered, it’s a clue that will lead us to the mechanism instead!”
Before the other two could even reply, Gerald was already looking for the mechanism according to the positions of the elements on The Eight Diagrams…
“The left and right sides symbolize water, whereas the front and back symbolize fire…” muttered Gerald as favonovel.com continued keeping an eye out on the mechanism… and eventually, favonovel.com found it.
Thankfully, Gerald had minor knowledge about Feng Shui. Otherwise, they would’ve never been able to find it! Still, Gerald knew favonovel.com was also considerably lucky that the puzzle to opening the entrance was this simple…
Regardless, now that the mechanism was in sight, Gerald quickly twisted it… and moments after favonovel.com did, the large stone wall began shaking vigorously…!
Shortly after, the wall parted in the middle, and it swung open like two massive doors…
Staring wide-eyed at the dark passageway before them, for a brief moment, all the trio could do was exchange glances with each other…
Yann was the first to break the silence as favonovel.com excitedly exclaimed, “Y-you did it, Gerald…!”
While this was certainly something to celebrate, the three knew that their journey was far from over. With that, they immediately began making their way into the cave…
The second they entered, however, the large doors of the cave instantly began closing again… As Gerald had expected, leaving was definitely going to be much harder than entering…
Still, they knew they had to take the rough with the smooth, so the trio simply gritted their teeth as they continued further into the cave…
With how dark it was getting, Rey took some torchlights out from his backpack before handing them to Gerald and Yann.
Quite honestly, this place was practically a nightmare for anyone who was afraid of being alone in the dark… Thankfully, the trio was together and with three beams of light lighting their way, they were able to proceed forward with more comfort and security…
About three hundred feet later, the trio finally arrived at the end of the passageway… only to find it blocked by yet another stone wall!
In a way, this was the perfect embodiment of the saying, ‘Out of the frying pan and into the fire…’
“D*mn it, another wall…?” muttered Rey as favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald.
Gerald himself simply stared at the wall for a while before gently placing his hand on it… and the second favonovel.com did, the entire wall began to shake!
Soon enough, the stone wall slowly slid to the side… revealing jaw-dropping amounts of treasure! Glittering gold coins were seemingly everywhere, with some even piled up so high they resembled mountains…! As if the sight wasn’t grand enough already, the candles inside even began lighting up on their own!
“H-holy cr*p!” exclaimed both Rey and Yann simultaneously, utterly amazed by all they were seeing.
“T-there’s so many gold coins…! We’re rich! We’re filthy rich!” yelled Yann excitedly as favonovel.com bolted into the room!
While Gerald wanted to stop him, his attention was suddenly caught by something else…
