Chapter 308: Chapter 249: You have Zhang Liang’s plan, I have..._2

This got Sean Knight’s approval.

After a big event, the whole tribe was in a festive atmosphere.

Sean was strolling around the tribe, while Ellie and Eckram were preparing to slaughter oxen and sheep in celebration.

Every person Sean met had a smile on their face, warmly greeting him. Although he didn’t understand their language, he knew what they meant.

"Boss, I can tell they really like you." Douglas Cooper looked at a beautiful tribal girl sweetly smiling at Sean and couldn’t help but say.

When the girl left, Sean said:

"That’s because you have bad eyesight—everyone is happy today, they smile at everyone they see."

Douglas muttered:

"I wish they’d smile when they saw me, but they don’t even look at me."

In the afternoon, Eckram invited Sean and the others to the yurt and had him sit in the main seat. After an emotional speech from Old Master Ellie, the celebration began.

Eckram cut meat for Sean while introducing the people sitting in the yurt.

Most were older people like Ellie, not many young people. Soon, several girls in ethnic costumes came in, dancing and toasting with wine glasses.

Sean was the first to be toasted, and each girl toasted him while singing and dancing.

Although he didn’t understand, Sean knew the meaning.

Sean didn’t refuse anyone who toasted him, taking their wine and drinking. At first, it was fine, and Isram Innes and the others didn’t feel anything.>

People of the horseback nation were mostly able to drink, but they didn’t expect Sean to be like someone with a cheating device. In a short time, he drank about two kilograms but remained unflustered and clear-headed, which was quite impressive!

Sean wasn’t just passively drinking; he also actively toasted Ellie and others. As a result, he didn’t eat much meat, but he managed to drink the elders under the table one by one.

Elijah Hastings and the others knew about Sean’s alcohol tolerance, so they didn’t try to stop him. However, they didn’t drink themselves, and despite Eckram’s efforts, he couldn’t persuade them to join in.

After all, with Sean drinking so much, they already had their hands full dealing with him.

In just two hours, including Eckram, everyone was drunk and returned to their yurts to rest.

But Sean didn’t rest. He told Alistair Murray, who was accompanying him, that he wanted to walk around and then left the yurt.

Alistair was also a bit tipsy, considering he was the bridge between the two sides, and the young people were happy to give him a few more drinks, which ended up getting to him.

Sean leisurely walked towards the mountain, like sightseeing.

Elijah Hastings and the others quickly followed. Sean said:

"Just Elijah will do. Lincoln Harrington and Douglas, stay here. If anything unexpected happens, you’ll be able to handle it."

Lincoln nodded, and although Douglas was somewhat unwilling, he knew Sean was the boss and had the final say, so he complied.

Once they entered the mountain, Sean sped up. In less than two-thirds of the previous time, they arrived in front of the main hall again.

"You wait outside while I go in and have a look."

Elijah immediately found a place to stand guard, observing the surroundings.

Sean went down to the altar.

The hole in the altar was really square. He had speculated before, so he took out the copper seal and stuffed it in.

It was a bit too big, and he noticed that the hole had accumulated some soil over time.

Sean took out a knife from the spatial realm, carefully scraping off the dirt and sand around the hole and dug out the soil inside. Then he put the copper seal back in.

It fit perfectly.

If it wasn’t for the wolf head button on the copper seal, it wouldn’t have been easy to pull out.

Seeing that it was in, Sean started twisting the copper seal.

He had initially thought that twisting it left and right should be enough to activate the altar.

After all, Sky Eye could see that there was a mechanism under the altar, the kind of ancient bronze and stone mixed mechanism.

But he couldn’t twist it.

Was the mechanism rusted? Or was there another way to open it?

After all, it made sense that with such a hole there, many people might think to try something similar like carving a piece of wood and putting it in to see if it could be twisted.

Someone must have tried it.

Sean used Sky Eye to look again and found that the mechanism could only be activated here, otherwise they would have to try to blast open the door leading to the other side.

The workload would be enormous and if the technique wasn’t good enough, they might end up blasting the space behind it shut!

Sean took out the copper seal, reached into the hole, and couldn’t find anything. However, as he carefully felt inside with his fingers, he could tell that the hole had two layers.

Sean suddenly remembered, this copper seal also had two layers!

He inserted the copper seal back in and forcefully twisted it.

It really did twist!

With Sky Eye activated, Sean Knight could see that only the upper half of the copper seal was rotating, while the lower half remained motionless!

As expected!

"Rumble rumble!"

A huge noise came from within the wall directly opposite the door.

However, looking at it with the naked eye, nothing could be seen.

Sean knew that the layer of stone skin blocked the movement inside!

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t know what was going on.

Sean stepped forward, slowly feeling his way around the stone skin, and then found a tiny crevice.

He pulled out his knife once again and slowly pried along the crevice in the stone. Soon, he pried off a one and a half meter high, one meter wide, and ten centimeters thick stone slab!

As soon as the stone slab was pried off, Sean saw a dark stone door behind it!

A gust of wind rushed into the stone cave from the side of Sean.

A musty scent came from inside as well.

Sean didn’t enter immediately, waiting for the musty smell to slowly fade before opening Sky Eye and walking in.

The stone door passage was very long, almost ten meters, even if someone came with a metal detector, they would not be able to find anything behind it.

Once past the stone cave, it became bright and open!

The enclosed space behind was as large as two basketball courts.

The ceiling was lower than the Sacrificial Hall outside, but still over ten meters high.

On the stone platforms on either side of the entrance, there were two golden "Deer Stones," or grassland stone figures, each about half a meter tall.

They had large heads and small bodies, sitting on stone pillars.

These ancient stone artifacts have been discovered in Yili and Altay in West Province. Some call them grassland stone figures, others call them Deer Stones.

But here, they were made of gold!

Then there were two golden Sitting Wolf statues!

These four golden statues alone weighed nearly a hundred kilograms and, converted into US dollars, were worth almost 5 to 6 million – not counting their antique value!

This was a tenfold profit!

Looking further in, there were gold and gemstone items on each stone platform.

Paired gold pots, golden short swords, and gold kneeling statues, among others.

It could be seen that they were all meant for rituals.

There was also a golden mask inlaid with dozens of emeralds and rubies.

It wasn’t an exaggerated design; you could simply wear it on your head.

Sean could feel that there was some energy in these ritual items – was it related to their use in rituals?

This immediately made him think of the energy in the offerings of the Indian Tribe.

Was there a connection?

However, this was not something to be studied now. Sean could feel that the energy in these items was not very substantial.

After a brief appreciation, Sean immediately collected all of these items one by one.

At the very back, on the largest stone platform, stood a piece of wood.

This made Sean very curious – there was a piece of wood displayed here!

This place should be the most important, so why would there be wood displayed?

Sean went up and looked at it, finding that the wood was slowly changing as it came into contact with the air.

Sean quickly collected the wood first and decided to study it later when he had a chance.

After collecting all of the items from the stone platform, there were a total of eighteen pieces, including the mask and wood. Altogether, there were an even number of pieces.

After putting away these items, Sean looked around and found no more items, so he immediately walked outside.

Although the room seemed to have ventilation holes, the smell was still unpleasant.

Upon leaving this once-sealed space, Sean felt much more comfortable.

He put the stone slab back in place, then turned the copper seal in the opposite direction. The rumbling noise came from the secret door again, and the stone door passage closed.

After retrieving the copper seal and finding that the bottom layer hadn’t been removed, Sean used his knife to slowly pry the copper seal out.

After disguising the hole with some soil, Sean left satisfied.
