He paused and frowned, "The problem is, I can't pick it up."
Leonard peered at the stone stage and sure enough, a bronze snake identical to the one he held laid there.
Upon seeing this bronze snake, everyone immediately realized it was the key to breaking the deadlock.
"It locates behind a stone carving under a waterfall, and immediately opens a certain barrier," Elder Clinton explained as he reached out to grab it.
The bizarre thing was, like scooping the moon from the water, his entire arm passed through the stone stage as if it were an illusion, causing a ripple of light to wash over it but clutching nothing in the process.
Catherine Carter looked on, baffled, "An illusion?"
Elder Clinton shook his head, "No. The object is indeed here, but it's interfered with a barrier, so we can't touch it."
Hearing his explanation, everyone fell silent.
The object was right before their eyes but they couldn't grab it, leaving them frustrated.
