Chapter 69 - 69: Explore The Trial Ground(Part 2)(Bonus chapter for remaining 50 power stone! Sorry for the delay)
Since the decision is being made it's now time to decide who would go inside.
"White Fang, Celli, Slither, three of you stay here and protect Taotie restaurant. Snowball and I will go inside. I already have some experience with Trail Ground so I will go inside with Snowball. If there is any danger inside, we will escape unscathed with Snowballs' space talent."
Robert quickly made the decision. He has to explore this place at night because there will be customers coming tomorrow to exchange spiritual herbs. That time, they will get a lot of Merit points and would likely exchange them for spiritual food and during that time, he needs to be present to cook food.
After hearing him everyone nodded in understanding. Although White Fang was a bit unhappy, she still accepted his decision and said, "Next time it's my turn to play."
Robert smiled helplessly and said, "Yes! Yes, it will be your turn next time."
After coaxing White Fang, Robert started job preparation. For an exploration, he needs some torch, some food and water.
After packing everything in a leather bag Robert along with Snowball stood in front of the underground staircase.
He looked at the other three and said, "We will come out till morning."
Three of them nodded and then a serious panda along with an excited rabbit entered the trail ground.
…..
Inside Robert held the torch in his hand while Snowball was standing on his broad shoulder. They have been walking on this dark staircase for five minutes already.
Even though their speed is not that fast Robert felt that they are 100 meters underground.
Although this staircase is old, it's still sturdy enough to carry its weight. Good thing is that there is no criss-cross in the stairway. They have been walking in a straight direction.
"Look! Robert, there is a door in front of us." Snowball who was sitting on his shoulder shouted while pointing at the front. Because of the narrow space, his voice echoed.
Robert narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. Sure enough, there is a door in front.
At the end of the dark road was a stone door. Beside it was a stone tablet. Robert stood in front of the stone tablet along with Snowball.
Under the light of the torch, Robert and Snowball saw the tablet.
On some tablets, there are a few incomprehensible texts written on it. Robert has never seen text like this since coming to this world.
"Robert, what's written on the stone tablet?" Snowball scratched his head in confusion after trying to read the words on the tablet. Since he cannot read it then it's better to ask Robert.
Robert rolled his eyes after hearing his question. 'You are asking me who should I ask?'
Even though he thought this he did not say it aloud. Since he cannot understand it then it's better to ask the system for it, "System, can you translate this text?"
"Yes, host! 50 energy points for translation." The system immediately became active after hearing Robert.
Robert looked at his system panel and saw that he only had 4,000 Energy points. 100 is affordable for him.
"Okay then translate," Robert said in his mind and then he understood the meaning of the word immediately.
And 100 points were deducted from his account.
According to the information in his mind, Robert understood what's written on this tablet. This place is a training ground of a sect that existed before.
"This is a trial ground of some MillenniumSect. Here monthly tests of the Elite students in the sect are conducted. The test is divided into three levels. After passing each level the challenger will get rewards depending upon their performance." Robert looked at Snowball and explained. According to the tablet, the name of the sect is the Millennium sect.
He did not know if this sect is still in this world. But this place should be the property of the Millennium Sect where they test disciples.
Snowball nodded in understanding and said, "So what should we do? Go inside?"
"Go! Of course, we will go! Since we are here then it's better to explore it and see if there are any dangers." Hearing him Robert nodded without any hesitation. He wants to see the so-called test ground.
Robert arrived near the door and pushed it but then his face froze because the door wouldn't budge. Even though he did not use his cultivation his physical strength should be enough to open any door.
'Interesting' Robert thought to himself as he exerted more strength. Snowball was standing behind him.
Just as Robert used his strength Snowball and Robey felt a tremor coming from the ground and they couldn't help but be surprised.
Snowball thought to himself, how heavy was this seemingly unremarkable stone door? It actually made the ground shake.
Currently, only Robert knows how heavy this door is. Someone below the foundation realm can forget about opening the door.
Now he is using 10℅ of his cultivation just to open the door.
Immediately after, there was a low sound of the door pushed open and the heavy stone door stopped moving.
Robert did not enter directly but looked at the interior of the room. On the other side of the door, it is not dark. The place is well lit. The space inside was huge, like a karst cave and there were many bright lights in it.
After careful observation, Robert realised that this bright light is directly emitted from the stone wall. When he stepped forward, he could see that there were fluorescent objects embedded on the stone wall.
Although the light is faint, it is possible to see the whole picture of the underground cave clearly.
The ground in the cave is inlaid with jade-like tiles and some glyphs are inscribed on it.
Except for this, there is nothing else inside the big cave. Just two meters away from the door he is standing there is a stone tablet and at the other end of the cave, there is a three-meter meter big door and a small door.
Robert walked toward the stone tablet along with Snowball. When he stood in front of the tablet he asked the system in his mind, "System translate please."
"100 energy points! Thank You for your patronage." System was swift as translated immediately and deducted the energy points giving Robert no chance for rejection.
Robert was extremely uncomfortable after seeing the price. If this continues then all his points will be wasted on translation.
Currently he only has 3,800 energy points. He has to leave some in case of emergency.
'First: Test of the body!
Content: Walk and reach the other end of the cave and receive a reward.'
This short sentence is written on the tablet. It sounds easy but Robert knew that it can't be that easy.
Since it's a test then it would be tricky, Robert thought to himself as he looked at the glyphs inscribed on the ground.
This should be related to the test. But what exactly is the test?
Robert did not start the test but thought deeply. He still remembered what happened during the test ground where he met Celli.
"Robert what's written here?" Snowball looked at Robert who was in deep thought and asked curiously.
"It's a test! If you want to pass then reach the other side." Robert subconsciously said as he heard a snowball.
"Oh" Snowball nodded in comprehension as he looked at the gigantic door on the other side with curiosity.
Then Robert saw him disappearing, making him stunned. He looked around and saw Snowball standing near the gigantic door waving his hands towards him.
"Robert, look! I passed the test! It's amazing right?" Snowball shouted as he laughed proudly. Roberts' eyes widened seeing him standing on the opposite side.
Then he slapped his forehead in realization. Snowball has space talent so this test poses no problem for him. In fact the test is meaningless in front of him as long as there is no restriction on his talent.
Robert smiled wryly and thought to himself. Teleportation is really a bug-like skill.
With Snowball's help he can avoid the test and take the reward.
He does not need to give a test he can avoid it directly by using teleportation. For this test, a snowball is a bug-like existence. The people who built this test would never imagine that something like this could happen.
"Snowball! come here, take me on the other side." Robert shouted as he was not in a hurry to take the test at this place. He is very curious about the so-called reward mentioned in the tablet.
It's better to take the reward and then proceed with the test.
"Okay!" Snowball shouted as he instantly appeared on his shoulder. Then Robert felt his vision going dark for a second and he was already in front of the gigantic door.
Before because the distance was far he was not able to observe the door carefully but now when he observed it closely he saw the door is densely packed with glyphs and weird inscriptions.
