Chapter 555: The Treasure Cave
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin was at a bit of a loss for words at the sight of the grateful, kowtowing dragon.
Had Xiao Ze mistaken him for that mighty black dragon?
One couldn’t really blame Xiao Ze for making a mistake like this. After all, An Lin was only a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, but he was able to gather an army of Return to Void Stage underlings as well as snatching away Xiao Ze’s defensive ability in the blink of an eye… How could a Soul Formation Stage cultivator be capable of something like this?! No matter how one thought about it, An Lin was definitely some mighty figure in disguise!
Xiao Ze finally verified these suspicions upon witnessing the emergence of the black dragon projection. Not only that, but An Lin was countless times more terrifying than Xiao Ze had initially thought he would be, to the extent that it was completely unable to muster up any resistance…
In other words, Xiao Ze had been completely crushed by fear.
“You may get up. I’m just here to grab some things from the cave,” An Lin said as he waved his hand with a nonchalant expression.
“Of course, you can take whatever you want, Senior!” The black dragon nodded obediently as the pair of feelers in front of its nose wagged in a fawning display.
“Hmm…” An Lin nodded with a satisfied expression and said, “It appears you have realized your mistakes! How about this? I will return your defensive ability to you after three minutes.”
Xiao Ze’s gargantuan body trembled, and tears of joy and gratitude almost flowed from its eyes upon hearing this. “Thank you, Senior! Thank you for your kindness and generosity! This Junior is forever in your debt…”
An Lin shook his head nonchalantly. “There is no need to thank me.”
The plunder effect of the Divine Plunder Technique would only last for ten minutes, and since seven minutes had just passed, there are exactly three minutes left… hehe, I’m a genius!
Cold sweat was pouring down Dao Ye’s face, and his legs trembled as he surveyed the situation from afar.
He was once again struck by An Lin’s fearsome might. The Moonlit Night Monarch was going to die for sure if she tried to mess with An Lin! No… he had made up his mind. Once he returned to Tai Chu Continent, he had to dissuade the Moonlit Night Monarch from continuing in her suicide mission!
Xue Zhantian stared at An Lin with a scorching reverence in his big, bright eyes. This was his Master, a mighty figure who was destined to stand at the pinnacle of this entire world! He firmly believed that his Master was going to part the heavens someday, and he would be able to bear witness to this historic feat!
Ancient Tai Chu Realm, Ancient God Division.
The two suns in the sky dimmed slightly before turning toward a certain direction.
“Hmm? Was that Chu Dong? No… it isn’t… it’s just a sliver of his consciousness…”
An ethereal voice dissipated as the two suns in the sky regained their former brightness before continuing to revolve around this crumbling ancient realm.
Three minutes later, Xiao Ze’s bloodstained body suddenly regained its metallic sheen.
It could feel that something was coming back!
Its injuries were regenerating quickly, and its scales were glowing with renewed luster while expelling all the dirt and grime from the surface of its body.
Once again, Xiao Ze aimed a grateful glance at An Lin, as if it were staring at a mighty god.
An Lin nodded lightly in response before flying directly into the white cave.
Cassidy and the others faltered slightly before coming to their senses and following An Lin into the cave.
After leading everyone here and helping them defeat the black dragon, Mi Ya had already fulfilled her vows. However, she still decided to tag along as she was unable to repress the curiosity in her heart.
An Lin wasn’t really bothered by this. Mi Ya had already sworn a vow in the name of the Sea Monster Patriarch, which prohibited her from hurting An Lin and his party. If she were to go against her vows, her dao foundation would instantly crumble, so An Lin wasn’t concerned in the slightest.
Tobias turned a pair of scorching eyes on An Lin. “Holy Leader, are you a member of the Dragon Tribe, or do you possess a dragon bloodline?”
An Lin gave him a slight smile. Without giving a definitive response, he said, “I’m a human.”
Oh, so he’s a human with a powerful dragon bloodline running through his body.
Tobias felt like he had solved the mystery.
A mellow, seductive voice said, “Thank you for saving me back there.”
An Lin turned to find Cassidy looking at him with a pair of rippling eyes filled with reverence, gratitude… and a hint of shyness?
As their eyes met, she averted her gaze slightly while pursing her supple, sexy lips.
So she really was shy?!
An Lin was shocked. This was great! Now he wouldn’t have to worry about her raping him!
Right at this moment, a young man with short black hair and fine, delicate features suddenly ran toward them.
“Senior, wait for me!” The young man had fine and delicate features with a black dragon horn on his head. His clothes were tattered and stained with blood, but he wore a fawning smile on his face.
An Lin turned to look at the young man with a peculiar expression. “You’re… Xiao Ze?”
The young man nodded with excitement on his face. “Yes, that’s right!”
“Why are you here? Did you regret making that earlier decision?” An Lin asked with a smile.
“No.” Xiao Ze shook his head with an earnest expression and said, “I was afraid that you wouldn’t know the way so I’m here to be your guide, Senior!”
An Lin: “Alright, go ahead!”
His home was getting robbed, yet he was acting as a guide for the robbers; this was too good!
However, An Lin wasn’t going to believe everything he said. He still searched through every nook and cranny himself, in case Xiao Ze decided to keep some secrets from him.
Within the stone cave, there were many sculptures of mysterious ferocious beasts, and in the center of the white stone cave, there was a pool of black liquid. The liquid was bubbling incessantly while a light aromatic scent wafted from within.
“This is a pool of Demonic Dragon Marrow Liquid; it’s where I usually bathe in!” Xiao Ze introduced as he pointed to the pool.
An Lin was immediately struck by the urge to take the pool of liquid with him.
Xiao Ze’s body trembled upon seeing An Lin’s scorching gaze, but he didn’t dare to say anything. Who would have thought that this Senior would be interested in even his bathwater?
“Is this your cave abode?” An Lin asked with curiosity.
“It is, but before I came here, this was already a cave abode that was left behind by an ancient mighty figure. Some of the items in here are inaccessible even to me, as if they were permanent fixtures fastened to this world itself,” Xiao Ze replied.
If he wasn’t worried about An Lin blasting his home to the ground in an attempt to try and grab those inaccessible items, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to volunteer as An Lin’s guide.
He continued forward before arriving at a stone wall, upon which he carved out a spell formation.
A deep rumbling sounded as the stone wall parted while a spell formation appeared on the ground. A film of rainbow light began to flicker behind the opening in the stone wall, and a passageway appeared before everyone.
Xiao Ze led the way inside, and An Lin and the others followed him into the passageway. They had verified in advance that there were items of value around the stone wall, but there were some extremely powerful energy fluctuations emanating from within the spell formation, thereby confirming that Xiao Ze was not trying to deceive them, and there were treasures within the film of rainbow light.
Everyone passed through the film of rainbow light and were greeted by the sight of a shining, golden woman.
An Lin and the others all drew collective sharp intakes of breath with shock and incredulity etched on their faces, as if they had seen something extremely inconceivable.
This was an exquisitely beautiful woman with one hand on her slim, sexy waist while her other hand was positioned in front of her lips in the process of blowing a kiss. Her entire body was nude, thereby showing off her flawless figure as if she were the most perfect artistic sculpture ever to be crafted.
Boundless golden light emanated from her body, and everyone felt as if they were going to be blinded by the scintillating radiance!
That’s right, this was an exquisite beauty crafted entirely from golden Realm Essence Crystals!
