Chapter 637: City Construction (8)

“Yes . It gives me such a sense of accomplishment to see the city wall coming together . When the wall is completed, I will get started on the buildings in the city . ”

“A city wall built with obsidians is strong . But, if you go to the central tower of the city, you will find something interesting,” Xiu suggested casually .

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows . Xiu seemed to know a lot about the Sun Never Sets . She did not ask more questions but headed toward the city’s central tower, as Xiu had suggested .

The tower stood in the very center of the city . It had endured many years of hardship, but the building still retained its original appearance even though it was a bit worn out .

Inside the tower, the dark steps were scorched black . Shen Yanxiao tried to find access to the underground . Finally, she noticed a hidden passage under a broken statue of a demon god .

Shen Yanxiao used a light crystal as she headed toward the pathway to light it up . The narrow path allowed only one person at a time . The wet walls made her feel chilly .

It seemed like the narrow path had no end, and the spiral staircase meandered downward as if it had no stop .

Shen Yanxiao did not know how long it had been, but she was tired when she reached the end of the staircase .

She saw an old stone gate . On both sides of the gate were some exquisite carved patterns . It must have been hundreds or even thousands of years, but the designs were still there to unfold before the visitors’ eyes . It was proof of the craftsman’s excellent skills .

“Push it open,” Xiu said .

Shen Yanxiao stepped forward . She took a deep breath and reached out to push the stone gate open .

However, the stone gate, which was not that big, was incredibly heavy . Shen Yanxiao exerted all her strength, but it did not budge .

“This must be a joke! What is the door made of? Why is it so heavy?” Shen Yanxiao rubbed her sore wrist . She concentrated all her strength on her hands, but the door remained closed . She could usually crush a stone wall with only one punch .

“Put your hands on the door . Let me do it,” Xiu said in his clear and refreshing voice .

Shen Yanxiao did as he instructed and put her hands on the door .

Then, she felt as if someone had put their cold hands on hers . A hint of coolness spread from her palms, but she could see nothing .

Squeak .

The stone gate was pushed open . Shen Yanxiao opened her eyes in surprise .

The coldness disappeared from her hands; Xiu had relinquished his power .

Shen Yanxiao walked into the stone gate with the light crystal in her hand .

The inside must have been sealed off for tens of millions of years, but there were still lighted torches there .

Behind the gate was a vast, round-shaped basement, and there were blue-flamed torches on the wall .

There was no air nor fuel, and yet the flames had continued to burn .

“This is the Sun Never Sets’ underground resource . Do you see the black crystal in the center of the room?”

Shen Yanxiao looked at the said black crystal in the center of the room . It was the size of a human head and was dim and dull, like a dusty pearl . Even as the flames flickered, no light bounced off the black crystal . It was as if pure darkness had absorbed all the light .

“What is that?” Shen Yanxiao walked over there and picked up the dark crystal .

While the crystal was of a considerable size, it was surprisingly light . Shen Yanxiao could pick it up with ease .
