Chapter 58: Pressed Too Tight, Can't Catch My Breath!

~8 min read 1,417 words

In her previous life, the reason Luo Shuiyan was able to rise to success was precisely because of the inheritance in this place.

If not for this Ancient Inheritance, even if Luo Shuiyan were a dual-talent holder, it would still be very difficult for her to compete with the geniuses of those great powers.

Therefore, Luo Shuiyan actually held some respect and gratitude toward this place.

And under Luo Shuiyan's signal, Lin Xue'er also nodded with a choked sob.

She walked to the prayer mat and knelt down very devoutly.

When she kowtowed to the statue in front of her, the tears at the corners of Lin Xue'er's eyes could no longer be controlled and slid down.

Within the four-person team that Luo Shuiyan had assembled, Lin Xue'er was the worst in terms of both aptitude and strength, as well as her Spirit Beast.

Lin Xue'er knew that it was only because of her relationship with Luo Shuiyan that she was able to join this team.

Otherwise, based on her strength, she would have had absolutely no opportunity to do so.

Lin Xue'er did not want to keep holding the team back, but she had no chance to change it.

Such a precious Ancient Inheritance, yet Luo Shuiyan had handed it over to her; the gratitude in Lin Xue'er's heart was beyond words.

As Lin Xue'er kowtowed, rays of rosy light were seen shooting out from the statue.

These rays of light shone upon Lin Xue'er, making her look like a holy fairy at this moment.

The silvery-white light made Lin Xue'er's already fair skin look even more delicate.

Under this light, the tears on Lin Xue'er's cheeks gradually dried, and her whole person gained a touch of sweetness.

While Lin Xue'er was receiving the inheritance, Luo Shuiyan and the other two looked at each other and nodded.

Immediately after, they sat cross-legged beside Lin Xue'er.

Such a critical moment as receiving an inheritance must absolutely not be disturbed by anyone.

Therefore, the three of them had to stay here to stand guard for Lin Xue'er.

……

"Hahahaha, we've struck it rich, we've really struck it rich this time!"

"This is all thanks to Brother Zhang; if it weren't for Brother Zhang breaking the Ancient Restriction, how would we have had the chance to enter such an Ancient Treasure Land?!"

Zhang Kuang and his party had also entered this Treasure Land.

Although they had not yet obtained any major substantial gains so far.

Everyone's face was still filled with excitement and thrill.

After all, this was the ruins of an Ancient Sect, so even some ordinary items were rare treasures to Zhang Kuang and the others.

It was just that Zhang Kuang and the others did not know that the things they had been picking up along the way were all trash that Luo Shuiyan had looked down upon...

Zhang Kuang's expression was also very excited at this moment, as he felt he had picked up quite a few treasures.

He believed that as they continued to go deeper, there would definitely be greater opportunities waiting for them.

Although Zhang Kuang and the others did not have a map, as luck would have it, as time passed, they also arrived at the Medicine Garden that Luo Shuiyan and the others had previously visited.

Originally, when they saw this Medicine Garden from afar, all dozen or so people were incredibly excited and thrilled.

From a long distance away, they each spread their legs and ran over.

But when Zhang Kuang and the others arrived close by, they were all dumbfounded.

"How come the fruits on these trees are all gone?! It looks like they were just picked!"

"Such a large Medicine Garden, how come there isn't even a single medicinal herb left?"

"Are you kidding me, not even a hair left?!"

Zhang Kuang stood in the center of the Medicine Garden, scanned the area, and felt a bit dazed.

This place could be said to be the most precious location they had encountered along their journey.

They had come in full of anticipation, only to find that there was nothing.

"It must be the work of Luo Shuiyan and the others!"

"Luo Shuiyan and the others came in two days early; these Spirit Fruits and spirit herbs must all be in their hands."

Immediately, Zhang Kuang narrowed his eyes and scattered the dozen or so people to search for the whereabouts of Luo Shuiyan and the others.

"Lao Huang, before, it was to let Luo Shuiyan break the restriction, but she only opened a crack."

"This time, if we meet them again, you must not continue to hold back..." Zhang Kuang said in a deep voice.

He knew that Lao Huang could still erupt with even greater power; the reason he was defeated before was just because he didn't want to expose too much.

However, this time, it concerned the treasure left behind by an ancient power! "Understood, if there is a chance, I will naturally help you."

Lao Huang could only helplessly agree upon hearing this.

Lao Huang was deeply wary of the strength of Luo Shuiyan's party.

Little Tiger and Cailin went without saying; they were both Spirit Beasts with hidden bloodlines.

Once they awakened in the future, they would be able to erupt with extremely powerful combat strength.

Even now, the combat strength of these two Spirit Beasts was not bad, not comparable to ordinary Beast Tamers.

And what made Lao Huang the most wary was the seemingly very cute Jiang Che.

Hidden beneath his harmless appearance was a tyrannical bloodline power comparable to a divine beast! If possible, Lao Huang absolutely did not want to be enemies with Jiang Che.

In his view, with the strength Zhang Kuang currently had.

Challenging Luo Shuiyan and the others was simply delivering himself to his death.

But Zhang Kuang insisted on going, and he had no choice but to do his best.

There was no help for it; after all, if Zhang Kuang died, he would die along with him.

He was already only a Soul Body; if he were to perish again this time, he would likely truly have his soul scattered.

……

At this moment, inside the main hall, Qi Hai, who was bound by the Ancient Restriction, had eyes that had turned incomparably blood-red.

These four golden chains were incredibly tough, and Qi Hai could not move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Lin Xue'er received the inheritance right before his eyes.

To be just one step away from the inheritance, only to have it snatched away and be forced to watch it happen—it was unbearable.

The most critical thing was that Luo Shuiyan and the other two, who were protecting Lin Xue'er, did not even glance at Qi Hai's side.

They seemed extremely confident in this Ancient Restriction and did not believe at all that Qi Hai could break free from his bonds.

This was truly killing someone and then attacking their heart! Qi Hai felt even more disgusted now than if he had swallowed a dead fly.

After a few hours passed, Lin Xue'er, having finished receiving the inheritance, finally stood up from the prayer mat.

Looking closely, her eyes seemed even clearer than before.

That pair of eyes was like a spring of water.

"Shui Yan, thank you so much!"

Lin Xue'er did not have time to check her physical condition; she hurried over to Luo Shuiyan and said with a face full of gratitude.

Hearing this, Luo Shuiyan just smiled and gently patted her shoulder.

"Alright, we are sisters who grew up together, is there any need to say such things?"

"I believe that if our roles were reversed, you would do the same."

Having said that, Luo Shuiyan walked up to the statue.

With a solemn attitude, she bowed very respectfully, which served as repaying the debt of the inheritance from her previous life.

When she bowed, she was also holding Jiang Che.

Suddenly, this deep squeezing sensation woke Jiang Che up directly.

"No, no, it's squeezed so tight, I can't breathe!"

Woken up by those towering mounds, Jiang Che could not help but mutter.

He had almost suffocated while buried deep in the ravine.

After the inheritance ended, the group left the great hall.

Just then, the figure of Zhang Kuang appeared not far away.

"I've finally found you few!"

At this moment, Zhang Kuang's face was full of ruthlessness and ferocity.
