Chapter 240 – One Man’s Battle (2/2)
“Brother, stop being foolish, take a look, this isn’t the time to collect fruits!”
“Hah?”
He raised his head impatiently and saw Yao Zi’s impatient and anxious expression. Following the teammate’s line of sight, he saw Caesar and Rosie.
“Eh? It’s them? Strange, why are they passed out here? Were they found having a love affair here and were knocked out?” Lin Tian ridiculed, not the least bit nervous.
“No! I’m guessing they met someone strong! But the strange thing is, with prince Caesar’s strength, how could they be easily defeated? … Brother, we should leave, and then go… eh? What are you doing?”
While Yao Zi was thinking about the possibilities, when she took a closer look, she was almost angered to death by her damn brother!
“Since they’re unconscious, then let’s plunder their crystal?”
“W-what did you say?”
Yao Zi was stunned as she watched Lin Tian leap towards Caesar, moving his hands up and down until he found that precious resonance crystal.
“Hehe, pardon me!” Lin Tian roared in laughter after obtaining the crystal and quickly plundered all their points!
Watching all the energy from the Loran Academy crystal flow into theirs, they instantly surpassed four hundred points.
Now they were for sure the champions!
“Wait… since their crystal is still here, that means they weren’t defeated by a participating team!” Unlike Lin Tian’s excitement, Yao Zi immediately noticed what was off.
The untouched crystal, the injured Loran Academy members, the empty silver vault, and also the explosions from earlier as well as the strange footprints… with all these clues put together, Yao Zi finally found an answer.
There’s a monster!
“Brother, let’s go! Something big must have happened, it’ll be too late if we don’t leave!”
“Stop being foolish, what else can happen? Stop worrying, with such good luck how can we not cherish it? Wait until I collected all the fruits… eh?”
Just as Lin Tian was about to finish speaking, there was a sudden ear-piercing howl!
“What’s that sound?”
The two teammates turned their heads and before they could even see what burst into the cave, they just felt their body lighten with a strong pressure against their backs. They were sent flying into the air and landed heavily on the ground, unconscious.
“Monster? W-what is that?”
Yao Zi and Lin Tian were shocked as they watched two of their teammates get finished off in an instant.
Monster, it was really a monster!
A distorted body, thick arms, and an extremely hideous appearance. They didn’t even look like living creatures, but a monster composed from multiple corpses!
Three huge monsters burst into the cave and blocked the only exit. They first sent their two other teammates flying, and now they were going to finish off Lin Tian and Yao Zi!
“… Was Loran Academy also finished off by these monsters?” Lin Tian’s voice trembled and he accidentally dropped the crystal he was holding, and he was no longer able to laugh.
Now he regretted that he didn’t listen to his sister, he was too greedy and now met these terrifying monsters.
“Brother… let’s run!” Yao Zi trembled with fear, if she wasn’t supporting Lin Tian, she would’ve fallen again.
“Run? They’re blocking the exit, how do we run?”
Are they just going to be finished off like this?
Was this good luck, or bad luck?
Good or bad, they just had to stay alive first!
“There’s no choice… cover me, I’ll finish them off!” At this point, Lin Tian could only choose to fight to the death.
“Ehhhh? But, c-can we really do it…”
“Of course! Do you still remember the magic I taught you before? Fifth-level magic, ice rain!”
“I remember…”
“Okay, cover me with ice rain, and we’ll kill our way out!” Lin Tian took out his sapphire staff, didn’t retreat, and stood his ground, facing off against these monsters!
“Okay then, I’ll listen to you… I-ice rain!”
Yao Zi nervously gulped and drew the magic circle according to her memories, while Lin Tian finished his magic on the side.
