Chapter 29 (2/2)

However, this gas was very strange. It did not dissipate when blown by wind but got thicker. The entire cave of treasures was filled with red gas, where almost nothing could be seen.

“Shit! I even encounter a haze in the space travel. The world’s environmental protection is no doubt a holy shit!” Sui Xiong muttered and made a detailed analysis of the composition of the noxious fog. Then his magic suddenly shook and turned into a circle of soft green light that slowly spread.

The power of the green light just offset the magic power of the noxious fog. Wherever the green light arrived, the red noxious gas disappeared.

Like a magic performance, the green light circle swept the cave of treasures and the red noxious gas disappeared without a trace as if it never existed.

“Gerrard, what’s going on?”

“Your Majesty, I…I do not know, either…” Gerrard said nervously, “I just slept and it was like this after I woke up.”

“…You fell asleep when you were on the treasure hunt. So indiscreet you have been!” Sui sighed, “Then I have to ask someone else.”

“Anyone else that could be asked?” Gerrard was shocked.

A mysterious black gas was emitted from the bone bracelets that slowly dispersed in the air. An atmosphere of gloomy obscurity dispersed, making people feel mentally heavy.

A moment later, numerous tiny light points rose from the body of dead Palin, slowly gathering into a vague human form.

“Your Majesty, is this the spirit of Palin?”

“No, it’s just the thoughts left on the body,” Sui Xiong said, “His soul has traveled to the kingdom of the dead, but memory is not only in the soul but also in the body. Now I activate the rest of the thoughts of the body and then reinvigorate him. Thus…”

“Will he be resurrected?” Gerrard asked excitedly.

Sui Hung hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

If on earth, a man’s body regained its vitality, his mind will be revived, and of course, he will be resurrected. Even in the face of a Nobel Prize laureate of medical science, he also dared to hold up his head to declare so.

But in this world, life was not only a matter of mortal body but also the soul was more important. Palin’s soul had gone to the netherworld. Unless he pulled the soul from the netherworld and re-plunged it into the resuscitated body, the body could not be considered “resurrected”.

Now Palin, strictly speaking, was actually a corpse without a soul.

When the fuzzy figure was slowly condensed, Sui Xiong maneuvered a green light to envelop the dead juvenile’s remains. The wounds on the whole body rapidly disappeared and he completely recovered his health. A more vigorous life burst from the body so that the pale cheeks restored a sanguine complexion.

An invisible force grasped the human form that was formed by the remained thoughts and plunged into the body.

In the next moment, the juvenile opened his eyes.

At first, his eyes were a bit puzzled. After a while, his eyes gradually restored focus and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

“Haven’t I been…dead?” He hesitated, “I remember…I was killed by the death cloud…”

“You were dead, but also are resurrected,” Gerrard said with a smile. “Things like life and death are not to be considered by us mortal people. Tell me first what happened.”

So Palin gave up thinking about some philosophical problems and fell into memories.

“I had been reading when I suddenly heard Ryan exclaiming. I then looked up, just saw him being sent away, then saw the trap erupt, and the red clouds of death permeated. I had not had time to run away and was covered by the death cloud. I felt extremely painful from the throat to the chest and then I lost my consciousness – until the resurrection.”

“So, did an accident happen to Ryan while he was unlocking the trap?” Gerrard muttered, “You do not know what happened to him…I hope he’s okay.”

This time, Sui sneered.

“Do not worry, he’s fine, he’s very good now!”

A blue light was projected from the bone bracelet and changed into a transparent screen in the air. The screen showed the landscape of the forest where the treasures were hidden.

Ryan was busy shoveling soil into the pit that Gerrard dug. Sui Xiong gave a close-up of his face: smiling, triumphant.

His expression displayed what had happened without any explanation or careful consideration.

“Damn!” Gerrard roared angrily, “This mean old thief! I will not spare him!”

“It turned out that…he plotted against us…” Palin shook his head incredulously, “Why did he do this? Was it for the sake of the entire treasures?”

“Why did he do this? Continue and we’ll know,” Sui Xiong’s voice echoed in the air, “Let’s just put aside our anger and see what this despicable old man wants to do.”

“I believe all antecedents and consequences will soon appear before us…”
