Chapter 73: The Star of Calamity

  "The Scarlet Star? I know this star, Redbeard told me about it before. The Scarlet Star appears only once in a very long while, at dawn, and its disappearance always foretells the arrival of a great disaster, the faster it disappears, the greater the disaster."

  Gloriana listened attentively to Rovi's words and responded without missing a beat.

  "Is it really that severe? Then isn't this crimson star just a broom star... uh, a disaster star?"

  Rovio made some comments, but thinking that Grueni wouldn't understand the meaning of "Sweep Star", he used "Disaster Star" as a substitute.

  "Star of Disaster? No, Red Teal'Pa said that the Scarlet Star is a kind goddess who has a close relationship with the Mountain Goddess, risking great danger to warn the descendants of the Great Mountain of the impending disaster tide, allowing them to prepare for it in advance. So, the true name of the Scarlet Star is actually Luwakasawuya."

  Gloriana denied what Rove said and spoke a word in the mountain people's language that Rove didn't understand at all, representing the Scarlet Star.

  Before Luo Wei could ask Gulu Xiani what the mountain folk's word meant, the originally tightly closed magical secret door automatically opened with a "ding" sound.

  Rovin was stunned for a second, then he suddenly realized that the opening hint on the magical secret door "That day, the crimson star will no longer appear in the eastern sky. After that day, only the daughter of the great mountain can call out that great name to enter." was actually referring to what Gloriana had just casually said... Luwakasawuya.

  Rover gave Glosonie a big thumbs up in praise, then he made a welcoming gesture.

  "Are we going in?"

  Gloriana didn't move, but stood still, staring at the open magical secret door.

  "Right, let's go in!"

  Luo Wei's reply was as sharp as a knife: "Behind the magical secret door, there must be a magical secret room. The secret room is always a typical example of being strict on entry and lenient on exit. Once you enter, it's as easy to get out as breathing."

  "You've seen the situation outside, Glosannie. After the Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Array was destroyed, all the vengeful spirits have become crazed killers that pursue and slaughter any living being they find, so... we need to temporarily avoid their blades and rest for now before launching another attack."

  To make Glosoni understand his idea, Rovi continued to explain it in this way.

  After the destruction of the fourth Spirit Gathering Array, Luo Wei had no choice but to fight a desperate battle against the crazy attacks of the rampaging undead. Even though he was an atypical necromancer who could absorb and utilize the soul flames of the undead, facing the current wave after wave of attacks from various undead creatures, with several Silver Rank ones occasionally popping out, he could only retreat step by step to the deepest part of the small cave.

  So, Luo Wei's purpose in entering the magic chamber had nothing to do with searching for treasure or anything like that. His main goal was just to temporarily avoid battle, rest and recover, and then come out and continue killing the rampaging undead creatures.

  Even a puppet organization can't withstand the intense high-intensity battle that doesn't stop for a moment!

  Furthermore, the second reason why Luo Wei planned to hide in the magic secret room was that he wanted to divert more disaster to Ferrodo - with so many people, it was only natural that they were surrounded by the out-of-control vengeful spirits of the entire ancient battlefield.

  It's not Luo Wei's fault for being evil and sinister. Who would have thought that Lord Frodo and his party were foolish enough to destroy the extremely dark gathering spirit array?

  But after hearing Lovina's convincing reason, Glosoni chose to believe unconditionally, so she was about to take the first step into the already opened magical secret door, but as soon as she lifted her foot, she was pulled back by Lovi.

  "Don't rush, let Ao He go in first and scout out the road."

  He grabbed Grover's robe, and while speaking, he actually made Obama, the skull warrior who had been used as a pioneer, enter the opened magical secret door first.

  If there are various traps and mechanisms inside the Magic Secret Gate, or even more ruthless magic room guardians, then the reckless skull swordsmen Ohei will soon be killed and his soul fire will disappear, causing the connection between him and Rovi's soul fire to disappear.

  If there were no deadly traps and secret chambers within the Magic Gate, then O'Hare would naturally be fine, which means that the connection between their souls wouldn't suddenly disappear. Of course, this isn't 100% accurate, as it's also possible that O'Hare was caught in a trap or ambush but only had his head cut off without his skull being crushed.

  So, Rove didn't even consider sending a second scout, Robin Hood the Skeleton Longbowman, after O'Hare seemed to be okay.

  Because she was accustomed to respecting Lovi's opinions and decisions, Gloxiana withdrew her previous step and watched as Skull Sword Hand Ohe led the way into... About half a minute later, reserve cannon Gray Robin also set off and walked into the magical secret door.

  "It should be nothing!"

  Luo Wei made the final judgment and rushed in front of Ge Luoxi, staring at the ice crystal purple shield, passing through the magic secret door into the magic secret room.

  This room, illuminated by a large number of fluorescent stones fixed to the ceiling, is a transparent magical secret chamber. In fact, it would be more accurate to describe it as a secret military warehouse, and it is clearly built for storing various weapons.

  It just so happened that Rovi arrived at the wrong time, and the shelves in the magic chamber, row upon row of them, as well as the cross-shaped wooden racks for placing helmets, were almost all empty with nothing on them, except for a few that held damaged weapons or damaged leather armor.

  Similar weapons and battered leather armor, on the ground brushing monsters and just confronting those crazy undead, Rowan had seen them on some of the undead who belonged to the mountain people.

  After thinking for a moment, Luo Wei also understood the reason. He remembered those weapons and armor on the cross-shaped wooden frame, which were actually worn by the mountain villagers who had become zombies and skulls.

  However, the weapons and armor didn't hold much significance for Rovi, so after a careful examination, he finally found two shelves in the middle of the room that piqued his interest. These shelves were filled with items that would be useless in large-scale warfare but were valuable to Rovi at this moment - numerous leather-bound books, rolled-up sheepskin scrolls, and half a stone pillar carved with words.
