Chapter 652: Thats The Thing That Attracted Me All The Way Here

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Its really just a coincidence. I was attracted by the aura the whole time. Otherwise, our trek wouldnt have gone so smoothly. Lets speed up. I feel that the aura thats been suppressing my heart has become even more obvious now. Chi Jiao could feel that there was indeed something deep in the cave that kept urging her to hurry over.

No longer fearing the miasma, the group quickened their pace and pa.s.sed through the corpses. Finally, they went through a long tunnel and an entrance, successfully entering deeper into the cave.

The entrance opened up to a huge cavern that was more than five meters tall. A five-meter tall statue was erected in the deepest part of the cave. It consisted of a very tall man with all kinds of corpses carved at his feet. There was a variety in their manner of death. Some were drowned, some were strangled, some were burned to death, and some were frozen to death. The various corpses and their painful expressions looked extremely real. Without exception, they were all stepped upon by the towering man, who was dressed up in a very ornate fas.h.i.+on.

The tall, imposing man had a kind and amiable expression carved onto his face, but his half-closed eyes hid a bloodthirsty ominous glint. The gold-plating on his body had long been peeled off, and he was holding a black lotus flower in his hand. The stamen of the lotus suddenly emitted an ice-blue light, which immediately attracted Chi Jiaos attention.

Thats the thing that attracted me all the way here. Chi Jiao was very certain. She pointed at the light released by the black lotus flower.

Dont move. Ill help you take it down. Seeing how agitated she was, Quan Jue was worried that she would personally go and get that object.

However, Chi Jiao shook her head and rejected his good intentions.

Brother Quan, this thing has been summoning me for so long. I must go and see for myself what it is, Chi Jiao insisted as she clenched her fists.

Quan Jue frowned in disagreement. No, its too dangerous.

Brother Quan, please. I promise Ill be careful. Chi Jiao blinked her big sparkling eyes. She grabbed his arm and shook it gently.

Quan Jue still looked very stern, but the light in his eyes had obviously softened.

He really didnt know how to reject Chi Jiao when she pleaded with him like this.

Hey, hey, hey, I dont care which one of you goes. But can we quickly settle this? We already know you are a loving couple, stop showing off! Beitang Lie shot Pei Yao a bitter look.

Pei Yao was baffled. She just took it that Beitang Lie had suffered from an involuntary twitch. After giving him a pa.s.sing glance, she calmly looked away and pretended not to see anything.

Beitang Lie was frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. He pursed his lips and endured it.

Since Jiaojiao is so persistent, let her go, Huo Chen said as he looked at Quan Jue with envy.

Exasperated, Quan Jue finally a.s.sented. Be careful.

Yes! Thank you, Brother Quan! Brother Quan is the best! Chi Jiao smiled happily and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Quan Jues lips curled up into a smile as he watched her scurry off adorably after kissing him.

Ssss

A strange hissing sound suddenly rang out.
