Shi Lang ignored the yelling sounding from his earpiece, he took off the glove and said, “Jenkins, issue evacuationmand. If all goes well, cover it up with an excuse, saying it was a drill.”


    Jenkins was fuming, his lungs felt like they were about to explode. Hayley on the other side had no hope for this guy, she said, “General, what do you intend to do?”


    Shi Lang smiled and said, “I will cut my hand and let the blood drip on the door. That will provide a medium for spiritmunication.”


    Hayley wanted to ask, how was he so sure. But Shi Lang was faster than them and he cut his palm open with a sharp knife. The dark red stained his palm in an instant. Then he hopped over to the door as if a child going home with candy in his hands. He did not have any worries and actually was very excited to see whaty behind the doors, forgetting that his cultivation was too low at the movement.


    The bloodied hand touched the door, and Shi Lang waited for the blood to drip till it reached the ground. However, he sensed no movement and with a sh of disappointment in his eyes, the young man sighed and said, “Okay, this did not work. I hope you have not issued the evacuationmands just yet.”


    Jenkins said, “I have had enough, you fucker. Come out and I will beat you for a whole day.”


    Shi Lang clicked his tongue and then he moved his hand away from the door and then he said, “We might need the artillery to take this thing down.”


    He sighed and wanted to go back to the surface, when Hayley said, “Lang, something is happening.”


    Shi Lang turned his head and looked at the door, and found the hieroglyphs to be glowing with a pale silvery glow. Slowly the blood from his hand also began to squirm and filled the whole groove in the middle of the door. Then the blood vanished and the door slowly opened, emitting crunching sounds.


    This thing, who knew for how many centuries was buried here. After the door opened, Shi Lang was ready to fight, but nothing happened, he peeked inside, and then he walked inside the passage. He looked up and said, “Moon stones.”


    Jenkins asked, “What did you say?”


    Shi Lang said, “I do not know, but don’t you think these illumination stones look like the moon of the federation?”


    The images disyed from his camera were transmitted to the screens above. Jenkins and Hayley looked at everything while the technicians were the same. They have never seen anything like this. They did not know any stone that could emit light. They thought it could be some new element special to this. Well, they all had a very scientific education.


    Shi Lang, however, was not having this shit. He was surprised to see the moonstones on this. he moved deeper into the passage, and he noticed the walls had some odd indents on them, and on the ground, there was some shiny dust. Shi Lang felt his heartbeat escte. He walked closer to the dust and with his exposed hands, he touched the dust.


    Recalling the texture from his memories, he was sure, this was the residue dust from spirit stones. Shi Lang smiled, Hayley noticed this from the monitoring room and asked, “What are you smiling about?”


    The young man replied, “This dust has some residue of spirit energy in it. I think it should be from some stone, so if I can find these stones, then we will be able to cultivate better.”


    The two people were surprised, however, Shi Lang was thinking, that it is so hard to cover up the lies when you are facing someone smart. He could not tell them that he was a cultivator reincarnate after all.


    Putting all this aside, Shi Lang began to walk deeper and said, “Yo Jenks, make sure this news is not transmitted back until we have made an inventory. If they confiscated the supplies, then I will snatch your shares.”


    Jenkins said, “Why didn’t I know you were a money-grubber?


    Shi Lang replied, “Because you are born with a silver spoon. Now let me focus, if I triggered some trap, then I will beat you up.”


    He was walking with a very light step, even so, things did not go as he nned. He could sense the spiritual energy getting stronger and thicker as he moved. Just when he was about to reach the end of the passage, he found a skeleton, the scanner in his helmet confirmed that it was a human skeleton. Shi Lang was about to move forward when the skeleton moved.


    Shi Lang was shocked and took a step back, beneath his foot he sensed a pressure sensor being pushed. The skeletal figure slowly opened his eyes, revealing a strong gleam of vitality. Shi Lang had an urge to curse, however, when he heard a voice in his brain, he forcefully calmed himself.


    “The treasures in here are left over by my generation of humans. I have only one request, do not fall for the greed of power, it can ruin the whole kin. Getting to the treasures is not easy, you will have to pass a trial young one, and only after you havepleted the trail, can you im it all.”


    The skeleton calmed down and the gleam in the eyes also vanished. Jenkins’ and Hayley’s voice was being transmitted through the earpiece, constantly asking if Shi Lang was okay. The young man woke up from the trance and found the skeleton undisturbed, a term came to his mind, soul projection.


    Shi Lang said, “I am fine, you guys. Ummm, I seemed to have stepped on the trigger te. It seems that to get to the treasures, I must first get through the trial.”


    Jenkins asked, “What are you doing?”


    Shi Lang said, “I will switch to a flying drone cam. These extenders will hinder the movement.”


    That said, Shi Lang removed the extenders and started a target monitoring drone. The drone was only as big as a palm but it was quick and silent and will always be locked onto a specific target. The drone was in ce, and Shi Lang lifted his foot for the pressure te. With a sliding noise, a passage appeared on the side.


    Jenkins said, “This passage should not be simple. What do you intend to do? Do you want to probe it first?”


    Shi Lang said, “No wonder, you bloke was chosen for the frontier and not the secret divisions, also, howe you were so cunning back in the school.”


    Before thetter could say anything Shi Lang had already rushed inside the passage. The space between the walls was only as big as two people, enough for him to run along. The speed was not fast, but it was not slow either. Just as Shi Lang reached a nine-meter mark, the floor beneath moved Shi Lang did a quick back flip and a spike protruded from the floor.


    The twisted and barbed spike had a thickyer of blood on it. Shi Lang chuckled, “Finally some rush.”


    He stood up and began to hop in a ce as if he was skipping a rope and after a few seconds, he moved. The speed was fast, he did not want to end up as a kebab in this tomb. He did not follow a pattern but moved ording to footwork.


    The drone transmitted all this and Hayley said, “Record his movements, it will be good to understand stuff.”


    The technician nodded and turned on the recording. Shi Lang did not know all this, and he suddenly took a big leap in the air and held onto a bar between the walls. Then he swung around the bar and when he was parallel to the ground, he curled himself up, ced his feet on the bar, and then he pushed against the bar and removing his handgrip he flew forward.


    The technician happened to be a woman and let out a whistle, she said, “General Lang is so handsome.”


    Jenkins snorted and said, “Show off.”


    Shi Langnded on the ground and afterpleting a roll he stood up. As if he heard what Jenkins said, he took out his handgun and shot at the floor behind him. The tiles all suddenly began to fall apart and out came a web of spikes.


    Shi Lang smiled and said, “Jenkins, you thought I was showing off, no?”


    Jenkins exploded in curses. Shi Lang did not say much and began to move forward and faced more obstacles. Hayley said, “Lang, take rest, you have been at it for two hours now. The output is too high.”


    Shi Lang sat down on the spot and said, “Hayley, although you have a point, but a trial is not a school exam. I will move forward in one movement.”
