Chapter 240 – One Man’s Battle (1/2)
Half an hour ago.
Within the depths of the remains.
Four people with grave expressions carefully walked out of the narrow passageway, the youth leading held a map while checking the directions.
“Brother, are we there yet?” Yao Zi nervously grabbed her beloved brother Lin Tian’s arm, while constantly looking over her shoulders, afraid that a monster would jump out of the darkness.
The passageways were narrow and was dimly lit, there was also strange sounds like stone pillars collapsing that made them scared witless.
Seeing his sister’s good for nothing appearance, Lin Tian wanted to tease her a bit, but an enormous explosion shook his ear drums.
Repeated explosions came from outside of the remains, the old stone pillars and walls acted as speakers and broadcasted the noise down the entire passageway as dust and small bits of stone fell from above.
The noise finally stopped after a while and the students from Bamboo Academy were finally able to shake off the dizziness.
“Sister, that wouldn’t be…”
“Un, that’s definitely explosions caused by magic! Wu, my ears hurt…” Yao Zi massaged her ears while complaining.
The explosions had strong penetrative power, and was also rhythmic, and was obviously caused by man made magic.
But… who was casting magic?
Based on the sounds, it was at the front entrance of the remains, while Bamboo Academy came in through a side entrance.
Could people be fighting at the entrance? But isn’t that too loud!
“Hm… just how many people are out there? Brother, thankfully we didn’t come in through the front, otherwise that would’ve been troublesome!”
Based on the scale of the magic explosions, it wasn’t something possible for one or two people, there must at least be tens of people fighting outside!
But was that the case?
Since Bamboo Academy didn’t go through the front, they didn’t see the terrifying meteor shower. If they knew that everything was done by Lin Xiao, as he instant cast twenty seventh-level magic and annihilated all those Lesser Devils, they probably would have immediately praised him as a hero.
The noise finally stopped, Bamboo Academy hastened their pace and finally passed through the narrow hallway and everything opened up in front of them.
“I-is this the silver vault?”
The spacious cave was covered with shimmering silver fruits. When Lin Tian saw this, he couldn’t control his excitement. After a short pause, he excitedly tossed away the map he was holding and rushed out with the crystal, frantically collecting points!
Finally! He finally found the silver vault, all these fruits were his, as long as he collected all of them, then they would jump to first place!
That’s just too lucky!!
“Brother, wait, calm down!”
“Hahaha! With this many fruits, I’ll definitely take the championship! Haha, our luck is too good! We’ll be the champions! Haha!”
“Brother! Sigh…”
After hearing his words, Yao Zi didnt know what to say and could only shake her head.
That’s right, they really did it.
But wasn’t their luck too good?
It was too much of a coincidence, and they were so lucky it was unreal, and gave her a strong sense of danger.
“Wait… I remember that Loran Academy entered the remains before us, so where are they?” Yao Zi suddenly realized the problem.
How were they able to successfully reach the silver vault? Shouldn’t Loran Academy have already collected all the fruits by now?
As expected, before Yao Zi asked again, the other two teammates found the answer.
“Hey, look! A-aren’t these people from Loran Academy?”
They suddenly noticed two familiar people lying in the corner at the entrance of the cave, one male one female. The male had handsome blond hair and was undoubtedly Caesar! The other girl was the famous princess of the Childe Household, Rosie!
Because of the dim lighting, no one noticed them when they came in, but after taking a closer look, they noticed these two lying unconscious next to each other.
“What’s going on… Yao Zi, should we… Yao Zi, Yao Zi?”
They didn’t know what to do, and wanted to discuss with Yao Zi on what to do next, but to their surprise, her face turned ashen.
“Hey! Brother, l-let’s go!” It was like Yao Zi foresaw something terrifying, she rushed over and grabbed Lin Tian’s arm wanting to pull him away.
“What? I’m not leaving!” Lin Tian was unmoved and continued picking the fruits.
