Chapter 3049: Chapter 3050: Father and Son’s Melancholy

Because the bricks on the Stone Gate cannot be dismantled and can only be moved slowly by manpower, every time a brick is moved, it takes a lot of time and effort.

Fortunately, these people in front of us are not ordinary.

This level of work is still within their tolerable range.

"Number 89, move to position 2."

Following what Lin Yi said, Song Jinmin’s men continued working, pushing the stones back and forth on the huge Stone Gate.

Initially, no one noticed anything unusual, and no one asked any questions.

But after four or five hours, after moving nine large stones, everyone realized that the patterns and symbols between the stones seemed to be connected!

Forming a whole!

"I told you, you were something special! Really good!"

Jiang Zhengnan patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said excitedly.

Lin Yi chuckled, his smile a bit simple and humble.

Everyone present was very happy, even the Poker people looked at Lin Yi with admiration.

However, the joyful atmosphere did not match Lin Yi’s mood.

Unintentionally, Lin Yi saw his old father.

Their eyes met for an instant.

Lin Yi realized that he wasn’t the only one with a calm mindset.

"It’s dark, Gayson, take your people and guard outside with Ace of Spades."

"Yes!"

Receiving Lin Jingzhan’s order, Plant A Gaisen took his men and went outside.

The rest stayed to continue working.

This time, however, Flame Dragon’s people took over the physical work.

The two teams alternated, which was a form of cooperation.

Soon, after a night, two more rows of stones were assembled.

But the further they went, the harder it became to assemble.

After all, it wasn’t random splicing; other stones had to be moved continuously to place the target bricks in the right positions.

Another day and night passed, only to assemble three rows.

There was a mistake once, wasting some time.

By now, six rows of stones had been assembled.

The overall shape was mostly revealed.

According to Lin Yi’s estimation, it would take at least three more days to get these things done.

Looking at the complex figure in front of him, Lin Jingzhan stood still, in deep thought, and silent.

"Did you think of something?"

Song Jinmin stood beside him and asked.

"Not really, just wanted to take a look," Lin Jingzhan said deeply.

"At this time, why are you and your son still so contemplative?" Song Jinmin taunted.

Lin Jingzhan glanced back to find Lin Yi also staring at the Stone Gate lost in thought.

"Maybe it’s the worry about what’s behind the Stone Gate; the more unknown it is, the scarier it becomes."

"Is that so..."

Song Jinmin’s words carried a trace of peculiar emotion.

"In the past, when pioneering, you always rushed to the front more excitedly than anyone else. The unknown and mystery were like stimulants to you; you wouldn’t be melancholy because of it."

"Haha... Our Lin family wouldn’t get melancholy over this, stop talking nonsense."

Song Jinmin laughed, "I’ll take some people out to stand guard; you guys keep busy."

"Go ahead."

Song Jinmin left, but silently patted Lin Yi’s shoulder as he passed by.

Sometimes, saying anything is superfluous, and nothing said would be right.

This simple gesture, perhaps, contained immense energy.

Song Jinmin didn’t understand why the father and son were like this.

But in his eyes, these two people were ambitious; one had the appearance of a hero, but none seemed the melancholic type.

Yet at such a moment, they were silent together.

Song Jinmin didn’t understand and couldn’t figure it out.

Another three days passed, and everything went smoothly.

With everyone’s efforts, only one stone was left to complete the work.

But they could already see the specific appearance.

The mysterious figure looked like a majestic ancient sacrificial picture, more like the totem of the Tilia Island Natives.

After passing through countless centuries, it stood before everyone.

Thus, that segment of mysterious history, the untouchable years, had taken shape.

"How did you think of this?" Lin Jingzhan, standing beside Lin Yi, asked.

In his tone, no emotion of sadness or joy could be discerned.

Calm as still water.

"I saw a similar pattern on a stone on the island," Lin Yi said:

"A blind cat bumped into a dead rat; I got it right by chance."

Lin Jingzhan said nothing further, standing silently in place.

Watching others make final preparations.

After about another six hours, the last stone was placed where it belonged.

Thus, the figure was completed.

Standing in front of the Stone Gate, everyone could feel the fine details of the figure, albeit a bit coarse due to the weathering of time.

Yet, when it fully presented itself to the world, it seemed filled with magic.

Making people dizzy, feeling this world was incredibly unreal.

"You guys stay here; I’ll go take a look."

Song Jinmin whispered and stepped toward the Stone Gate.

He stood in the center, pressing his hands against the Stone Gate.

Lin Yi saw the muscles on his arms suddenly swell, as if his clothes were about to tear apart in the next second.

A harsh scraping sound emerged, and the Stone Gate showed some signs of shaking.

In the middle, a crack about a finger’s width appeared.

This also indicated that the way to open the door was correct; the previous efforts were not in vain.

At the same time, both teams had made final preparations, ready to explore as soon as the order was given.

"Little Jiang," Lin Jingzhan said:

"You and Luyu Teahouse come in with me, tell your other team members to stand guard outside."

"Half and half," Jiang Zhengnan said:

"Although our overall strength is not as good as yours, we can’t let you take the lead. Our Flame Dragon people aren’t afraid to die either."

Lin Jingzhan smiled, "You’ve got a bit of Old Master Lu’s spirit in you."

"Poker, send in three from each team, Flame Dragon sends in six, the rest prepare to enter the relic," Lin Jingzhan said.

No one objected to such an arrangement, and the final adjustments began.

Everyone pulled out their weapons and started checking and tuning.

This was also Lin Yi’s first time seeing Song Jinmin’s weapon.

A half-meter long silver iron rod, with an old color, looking quite hefty.

Like him, simple and resolute.

Song Jinmin and Jiang Zhengnan stood to the left and right of the Stone Gate, respectively.

Their muscles immediately swelled, their strength transmitting to the Stone Gate like a tidal wave.

The creaking sound came, and the Stone Gate was slowly pushed open.

Inside, it was pitch black, like a black hole, as if there was another space behind it.
