Chapter 911. Underground Shelter
"What is hidden inside the tree, I wonder? Does it have something to do with that dead fellow? Did he die here, hoping people would find the door?" Han Sen thought to himself, as he observed the tree door.
Han Sen's curiosity had been stoked like a fire ever since he saw that photograph. Although he was initially hesitant, he wanted to find out more, and so he decided to open it.
But when he pushed against the door, there was no reaction.
Han Sen frowned and tried operating the doorknob. After doing this, the door opened with ease.
"Why would there be a door here? Do you think there might be treasure inside?" Chu Ming asked, as he happily approached the opening door and Han Sen.
Qu Lanxi was interested by the day's turn of events, and so she drew nearer, too. They were all keen to find out what might have been inside.
They initially believed it to have been some sort of hidden storage room or cache, but as the door opened, they were taken aback.
Looking straight beyond the door there was nothing. But when they looked down, the ground opened up to a cavernous realm. And from where they peered, they could see a hidden palace far below the earth.
Qing Ming Shelter was little more than a slum when compared to the grand and luxurious template of the palace they were seeing now.
