The Nagastra

"…"

The old man didn't reply. The silence returned as Leo's left eye twitched a bit.

It didn't take him long to realize the answer to his own question when he looked at the skeletons around him.

Some had clothes on - quite authentic clothes that were in different designs, as if from different periods, while others had no clothes on.

He used his dragon eyes to look around and scanned the entire area only to find the number of skeletons being exactly 79! It was only now that he realized that the skeletons belonged to those 79 cultivators who had previously come to grab the treasure.

"So, they are dead…", Leo murmured.

The old heard this and replied, "Yes."

After a few seconds, Leo asked, "Then, what exactly is the treasure?"

He wanted to know why all these cultivators failed. Just why and how did they end up dying instead of returning alive? - Many questions sprouted in his head.

The old man, after hearing, said, "Nagastra…"

"Nagastra?!", Leo asked in a raised voice.
