Reborn As Super Heir Chapter 1588 - 1572: Interrupted by an Opportunist

Chapter 1588: Chapter 1572: Interrupted by an Opportunist

Gu Xu pointed in one direction and said, "It should be over there, but I don’t know the exact spot. Honey, this task is up to you."

Gu Xu knew that Huo Sining’s Heavenly Eye could see through things. Since she could draw a Maze Map, finding a keyhole in a specific area shouldn’t be too difficult for her.

Huo Sining nodded, "No problem, I’ll handle this task!"

This Underground Palace was ridiculously large. Searching inch by inch would be extrely challenging, but with a specific direction, finding what they were looking for would be much easier.

Huo Sining walked over to the stone wall in the direction Gu Xu pointed, placed her palm on it, activated the Heavenly Eye, and everything ca into view.

Soon, she discovered a stone door with a crack, and there it was, a keyhole.

"Here it is!"

Pulling her hand back, looking towards the stone door, Huo Sining couldn’t help but shout in excitent.

It was a small stone door, and on it, indeed, was a keyhole that perfectly matched the key Qibao obtained.

Everyone gathered around, and Huo Sining inserted the key into the keyhole, turned it forcefully, and the lock clicked open.

Slowly pushing the stone door open, a passage just big enough for a person to walk through appeared, revealing a vast burial chamber.

"This is..."

Huo Sining’s eyes were filled with shock as she instinctively looked back at Gu Xu and Miss Yue:

"If I’m not mistaken, this is the real center of this Underground Palace. The deep pool we saw earlier is probably just a decoy!"

Saying this, everyone slowly entered the main burial chamber.

Soon, their gaze was drawn to the black coffin at the center of the room.

Huo Sining and Gu Xu exchanged glances and stopped in their tracks simultaneously.

The coffin appeared to be about three ters long, looking extrely large. Its material seed strange, unlike the quality materials like golden nanmu or camphor wood used for previous tombs Huo Sining had seen. Instead, this coffin looked tallic.

However, tal is usually prone to corrosion, yet this coffin remained intact without any rust.

The material seed familiar to Huo Sining, resembling the strange box she saw on the Awa Maru.

At this mont, everyone’s attention shifted from the coffin’s material to a bottle floating above its center.

The bottle resembled the Garlic-head Vase, with a narrow waist, long neck, and a broad base, roughly fist-sized, made of a clear, pure material resembling jade or crystal.

What caught everyone’s attention wasn’t the bottle’s shape or size, but the mysterious liquid inside that emitted a rainbow glow through the bottle.

And for so reason, the bottle floated above the coffin as if so external force was at play, unaffected by gravity, like an object drifting in space.

This strange sight left everyone stunned, taking several seconds to react.

"Miss Yue, is this the item that Mr. Huang is looking for?"

Miss Yue shook her head, her eyes showing a hint of confusion, "I don’t know. I only know he’s looking for sothing seemingly very valuable. I once heard him say it could rewrite human history, but what exactly it is, I have no idea."

Huo Sining nodded, "Whether it is or not, let’s get it first."

Uncertain if there were traps around the stone coffin, Huo Sining hesitated to act rashly. Thinking it over, she turned her gaze to Miss Yue standing beside her, "It looks like we need you for this task."

Miss Yue hesitated for a mont but quickly understood Huo Sining’s idea.

With a wave of her hand, a vine burst from the ground and quickly reached towards the coffin.

This was exactly Huo Sining’s plan. Unsure of what dangers the stone coffin held, they couldn’t take risks personally, but Miss Yue could control plants, manipulating the vine to retrieve the bottle.

Spanning several ters, the vine swiftly reached the coffin, coiling around the bottle, and returned towards Miss Yue.

As the item drew near, everyone’s gaze fixed on the vine, unaware of their surroundings.

Suddenly, a shadow leapt from one side with lightning speed, lunging towards Miss Yue, swiftly swiping its claws at her face.

Unprepared for the attack, Miss Yue instinctively stepped back, avoiding the shadow’s strike.

Failing to land its attack, the shadow jumped back to the ground, quickly rebounding to strike again.

"Watch out!"

At that mont, everyone noticed the shadow was a nimble black cat!

Huo Sining and Gu Xu were stunned. How could there be a cat in this underground labyrinth?

This thought left them both frowning, their eyes filled with confusion and suspicion.

They barely had ti to ponder as the black cat continued its onslaught on Miss Yue. Another shadow dashed from the other side, swiftly severing the vine with a throwing knife and snatching the bottle containing rainbow liquid.

The unexpected scene caught everyone off guard, and by the ti they realized, the bottle was already in the hands of a stranger.

The person before them wore a cloak, hidden in darkness except for a pair of eyes staring coldly at everyone in the burial chamber.

Seeing this, Miss Yue, who initially hesitated to harm the cat, understood the situation imdiately. The cat and the cloaked person were working together. The cat’s attack was a diversion while the cloaked figure quickly stole the bottle.

After all the effort they’d put into finding it, having it snatched away left Miss Yue fuming. Her eyes burning with anger, she glared at the cloaked figure and demanded:

"Who are you? Why did you steal from us?"
