253: Chapter 253 Treasure Land 23

This time, she really couldn't blame anyone else; it was purely because Luo Yuejian had been too sleepy, forgetting that her task was to court death.

She sighed inwardly, sat where she was to rest for a while, and caught her breath.

While resting, the image of what she had seen just after falling into the lake at the bottom of the waterfall surfaced in Luo Yuejian's mind.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the light she had seen at the time seemed to be at the center of the lake.

With the problem clearly right in front of her, it was impossible for Luo Yuejian to pretend she hadn't seen anything.

Otherwise, the slacker system would issue a yellow card warning.

Feeling that she had rested enough, Luo Yuejian simply stood up and stretched her limbs, only then noticing that there were quite a few abrasions on her body.

Especially her hands; they could hardly be described as just mangled flesh anymore. Because they had been soaked in water for so long, the blood had been washed away, leaving only the upturned, pale flesh.

"Fortunately, I have the Pain Suppression skill," she thought.

Luo Yuejian glanced at the wounds on her hands without much emotion and then withdrew her gaze, not caring much.

Then, with a splash, she jumped back into the lake.

The lake water was bone-chillingly cold, and the threads of cold, like vipers, burrowed through her pores into her marrow, making one shiver uncontrollably.

However, Luo Yuejian seemed not to notice; her face remained as cold as frost, without a ripple, as if this bone-chilling cold didn't exist for her at all, and she headed straight for her target—the center of the lake.

As she got closer to the center of the lake, the light became clearer and clearer.

Finally, when Luo Yuejian swam to the center of the lake, she clearly saw the true face of that light—it was actually a night-luminescent pearl the size of a human head!

The night-luminescent pearl emitted a soft and bright glow, illuminating the environment in a small area nearby. It was only then that Luo Yuejian noticed there was a circular groove about two meters in diameter near the pearl.

This groove formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding lake floor; the disc at its bottom was clearly made of a special metal, looking sturdy and smooth, which was completely out of place with the surrounding lake bed—it was obvious at a glance that something was fishy.

Luo Yuejian swam over, wanting to hold onto the night-luminescent pearl to stand on the ground; after all, floating in the water all the time was quite troublesome.

However, when her hand touched the night-luminescent pearl and she used some force to try to stand up, the pearl actually started to rotate slowly as she pushed against it.

At the same time, the metal circular platform underneath also began to rotate slowly with the movement of the pearl. Furthermore, accompanied by the rotation, it could be clearly seen under the light of the pearl that the metal platform was actually descending!

"Holy shit, an elevator?"

Luo Yuejian was stunned, thinking to herself, "Isn't this place supposed to be something built in the 16th century?"

"It even has an elevator? Is it that advanced?"

In fact, she wasn't sure where she was right now.

After all, she had been asleep for so long and had been drifting along the Underground River; who knew where she had drifted off to...

However, based on Luo Yuejian's experience, in this kind of game instance, the appearance of such an awesome-looking mechanism was definitely related to the main storyline of the game.

Luo Yuejian even guessed that she might have already found the Treasure Site, since it was obvious at a glance that this place was not simple.

She was truly speechless; damn it, she had traveled so far, hadn't even returned to the surface, and had been operating underground the whole time, yet she had still somehow found the Treasure Site.

This was definitely a conspiracy by the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game!

She figured that no matter where she ran, she would eventually find the Treasure Site.

Luo Yuejian felt indignant, thinking, "Is this Miracle Company playing dirty? How is she supposed to slack off with them doing this?"

Originally, she had thought that since she had delayed for so long and was trapped underground without a way to leave, she probably wouldn't have to worry about finding the Treasure Site this round.

As long as the other players couldn't complete the task of this Miracle Escape Live Stream Game and failed to find the final treasure within three days, she could naturally complete the task of the slacker system.

But who could have thought that even in this situation, she would still somehow find the Treasure Site?

Luo Yuejian even suspected that she had found this place before any other players.

Luo Yuejian's guess was correct.

Except for her, the other players in this game were still going through their own "Journey to the West," experiencing all sorts of trials and tribulations, and were a hundred and eight thousand miles away from where Luo Yuejian currently was.

Having discovered the location of the mechanism, Luo Yuejian had no other choice but to bite the bullet and continue rotating the night-luminescent pearl.

With her movements, the metal circular platform began to descend slowly.

All around was pitch-black darkness; the sides of the descending passage seemed to be entirely made of underground rock, with not a sliver of light filtering in.

Luo Yuejian didn't know where this dark passage would lead, nor did she know if any dangers were waiting for her.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the water that had originally filled the surroundings suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there.

The environment nearby became abnormally dry, as if this place wasn't underwater, but on the surface.

This change left Luo Yuejian shocked, and she couldn't help but look up.

She thought, "Is this reasonable? This has to be technology, right?"

"If this really is a mechanism, isn't it too ingenious?"

"How is it possible to have no water while being underwater? This completely defies common sense!"

Accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing against the surrounding rock, Luo Yuejian descended all the way. Because it was pitch black all around, it was hard for her to estimate how far she had descended.

"Clang—"

A sound of a heavy object landing echoed, and Luo Yuejian stepped off the metal circular platform.

The light from the night-luminescent pearl on the metal circular platform faintly illuminated the surrounding environment, allowing Luo Yuejian to barely see the situation around her.

This was another enclosed room, but there was a door on the wall on one side and a window on the wall on the other.

And both of these things were not quite normal.

The design of that door was very peculiar; it was very narrow and long, estimated to be wide enough for only one person to pass through—two people walking side by side wouldn't be able to fit.

If it were a fat person, like the Tall Fat Man Luo Yuejian had encountered in the Vampire Castle, they would have to scrape off some meat to get through in this situation.

As for the other window, its shape was normal, but its position was very low, reaching only to Luo Yuejian's knee level.
