c99: Just An Ordinary Looking Rock (2)

“Look”

Someone pointed towards the west.

Hearing the shout, everyone looked in the direction she was pointing at, even the first group who was about to enter the place looked towards it curiously.

“Wait! There’s more?”

The young man suddenly felt a tinge of frustration.

Looking at the west, a light, just like the one this door gave off could currently be seen, albeit small, they were all sure it was the same.

What annoyed him was the fact that the other light shot up right after this door opened. There was no way he would believe they weren’t connected.

“So which one contains the treasure?”

One of the youths among their group asked the question running through their minds.

“Since this is the one we were directed to, then this is the one we’ll be entering”

The young man said coldly.

He threw the thought of the other possible door to the back of his head. Since they were already here, what’s the use of thinking of the other door?

And so, they went into the place. After they entered, more people started entering slowly. This was a new place to them, and there was also a good chance that it contained great treasures, and also great danger.

The moment Grey and his friends were about to head in, he suddenly froze and looked towards an ordinary-looking rock by the side of the door.

“Grey, what’s up?”

Seeing Grey stopped walking, the others also stood by his side.

“It’s nothing, you guys head inside, I’ll check something out first”

Grey waved for the others to carry on.

He had a weird feeling when he walked past that rock. It was like there was something there, and he didn’t think his senses would be wrong.

‘I don’t know if it’s anything good, it would be a shame if I wasted not just my time but theirs also’

Grey thought.

The thought of telling them to wait for him crossed his mind, but since he had doubts about the feeling, it was best to tell them to head in first since he’ll go in after studying the rock. Besides, what could possibly happen to him while studying an ordinary-looking rock?

He couldn’t understand why he suddenly got this sensation from the rock which wasn’t any different from the other rocks around.

Thinking of possibly finding something good, he waited for everyone to enter the place. A few moments later everyone had already walked inside, he slowly walked towards the rock.

Getting closer to the rock, he started scrutinizing it. After looking at it for some time and not finding any special, he placed his hand on it. Suddenly, he felt a strong sucking force from the rock. And before he could take back his hand, he was sucked into the rock.

And the valley once again regained its peace…
