System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 34 Ch 34: Inside The Secretive Cave



"Huh?" Suddenly, Alex stopped in his tracks after arriving at the place marked on the map. He revealed a surprised expression.

After pondering for a moment, he began to walk around a specific place. When he walked back and forth three times, the astonishment on his face became even stronger.

"There's actually a spell formation here?"

Alex realized, although this place did not seem to be anything special, in reality, all of the surrounding vegetation had their own paths. There was actually a formation laid at this place.

This formation was extremely secretive and even experts of Innate Stage would not necessarily be able to discover it if they walked past this place. If Alex did not have the map, he would also have overlooked this place and would have gone somewhere else.

"There is actually a formation laid down at this place. It means there is most likely a valuable treasure at this place, otherwise, the Vice President of Mercenary Guild would not have taken such risk to hire bandits so that he could complete his goal."

Alex walked around the formation for a while but after spending some time, he figure out its layout.

"Looks like this is a maze-type formation. If one doesn't have the knowledge of the formation and does not break it, one will most likely lose themselves in this ever-changing maze and will never come out."

"How should I break it? I don't have the knowledge of formation!"

Alex thought for a while and suddenly, his eyes light up. He said, "Everything is a treasure. This formation is also a treasure in its own way. Could it also be duplicated by the system?"

Alex did not waste any more time, he immediately tried to duplicate the formation.

[Consumed 60,000 energy points. Duplication Successful. Obtained Rank 2 Ever-changing Maze Formation!]

Alex's eyes shone brightly. He immediately chose to fuse with it.

A warm stream of energy spread inside Alex's body and the next moment, many new pieces of information appeared in Alex's mind. This information was about the Ever-changing Formation.

"So that's how it is!"

Alex immediately understood everything. He also now knew how to break the formation.

What made Alex extremely excited was that he could even duplicate the formation. Doesn't it mean that, as long as Alex has energy points, almost no trap made up of formation could trap him down?

There were also many types of array formations, such as offensive killing arrays, defensive arrays, and bewildering arrays that could be used to confuse others.

The next moment, Alex again sighed with a disheartened look. All the energy points he has gathered till now were used up. He was now left with only 23 energy points.

Taking a deep breath, Alex started to study the Ever-changing Maze Formation. Very soon, he found the eye of the formation.

After finding it, with a reverse push, Alex immediately found the place that this formation was trying to hide.

It was a cave entrance. It did not seem that large but it was hidden extremely well. If one could not walk through the maze, even if they walked past, they would not be able to discover this place.

"A grandmaster has set up a maze formation here just to hide a cave? What's in this cave?"

Alex was very decisive, he only hesitated for a moment, then resolutely walked forward into the cave.

Although the cave entrance was very small, only after Alex entered did he realize that there was a different world inside, it was actually very wide.

Moreover, this place had clearly been remodeled. There were a few glowing pearls embedded at the sides of the passageway behind the cave entrance, illuminating the interior of the cave so that it wouldn't become too dark.

The further in he went, the bigger the space became.

Alex continued to delve further and further into the depths of the cave.

Although there was a formation outside the cave, there was nothing inside. It seemed that the formation master felt that it would be useless to place a formation inside the cave if someone managed to find this place through the maze.

After a long while, Alex finally walked out of the passage.

At this point, the scene in front of him had greatly changed. The long and serene passageway had become a vast hall. There were many ancient items placed within the hall and it seemed like he had reached this age already.

Alex looked around. This place had tables and chairs and there was even a teapot placed on top of the table. It was bright as new as though someone was using it not long ago, but the pot was already empty without a single drop of water.

After observing for a while, Alex felt that this place did not have anyone staying. It was just that because there was an array formation placed here, the things that were placed here would not get stained by the dust.

The items in the hall were all very ordinary. Even in some ordinary families, they would be able to find the same items. Only one of them was a bit special.

In the very center of the room was a coffin made of stone.

"Looks like this place is really a tomb!" Alex had already confirmed that this place was indeed a tomb.

However, it was clear that this tomb had been laid out in a hurry, or else the scale of this tomb would not be so simple. There would at least be many mechanisms and formations within the tomb, but right now, the tomb did not have too many profound mysteries.

"This tomb is hidden by a formation, so logically speaking, it should not be here just to not be disturbed. There should be something placed here. Otherwise, why would Vice President of Mercenary Guild be interested in this place and the items here?"

Alex started to look around. Normally speaking, for tombs like these, most of the treasures would be kept in the tomb and they were even the tombstones left behind by the tomb master.

Furthermore, this tomb was covered by a formation. If it was just to not be disturbed, it would be easier for people to covet it with the cover of a formation.

After searching the hall for a while, Alex could not find anything. Although the items here had a certain amount of value, in his eyes, these things were useless and he was too lazy to bring them away. He also believed that these items would not be the ones in which the Vice President of Mercenary Guild was interested.
