Chapter 159: Changes That Sacred Treasure Brought

Translator: Flying-Lines

The molten lava, like a galloping dragon, roared.

The scorching and terrible steam liquefied into mist, rushed out of the crater and rose up into the sky.

Lin Xun sat cross-legged on the rock, but his body was cool and comfortable.

He had realized the current situation, and even figured out that the sky-blue light that enveloped him was sent out by the Amrita Saint Pearl.

But there was still a question…

Where was the bead?

Lin searched all around, but could not find the Amrita Saint Pearl. He couldn’t help wondering.

Soon, he noticed that there was a blue light shining beside the suspended Gate to Heaven in the sea of his consciousness.

It was as blue as the sea, vast and ethereal, flying around the Gate to Heaven and sparkling like beautiful dreamy ripples.

“Was it overwhelmed by the Gate to Heaven?” Lin Xun was in a daze. This was the sacred treasure of Water Barbarian Branch. How could it suddenly appear in the sea of his consciousness?

Lin Xun did not understand.

However, he could clearly feel that the light emitted by the Amrita Saint Pearl was diffusing from the sea of his consciousness constantly, producing a kind of strangely cool airflow around his whole body.

The airflow could not only keep the molten lava beating around from reaching Lin Xun, but also heal his wounds in an amazing way.

“What a wonderful bead!”

Lin Xun was amazed.

Before jumping into the volcano, Lin Xun had noticed the extraordinary nature of the Amrita Saint Pearl in confrontation with Lek and other strong barbarians.

When he held the bead in his hand, hot waves near the volcano suddenly disappeared, which made Lin Xun refreshed and comfortable.

This discovery let Lin Xun become fearless in the face of Lek.

Unfortunately, before Lin Xun figured out how to resolve the situation at that time, Shrizi’s sudden strike made Lin have no choice but to jump into the volcano immediately.

He didn’t not want to head for doom. Lin Xun was gambling on his survival with the power of Amrita Saint Pearl.

The current situation that he was still alive inside the volcano undoubtedly proved that Lin Xun chose the right way!

“Those barbarians won’t leave before they recapture this bead. Perhaps they are waiting on the volcano at this time…”

Lin Xun murmured and made a quick decision. Anyway, he must recover his strength as soon as possible. It was not a long-term plan to hide in this volcano.

…

Lin Xun exhaled a long breath of foul air, sat cross-legged, and then held his breath and concentrated on practicing Nature Insight & Spirit-devouring Scripture.

On the rock, the young boy was thoroughly engrossed in his practice.

He was surrounded by the rolling and roaring melt; the flaming waves were like a tongue of Fire God, making the scene hair-raising.

Before long, a surge of exuberant spiritual energy began to flow across Lin’s limbs and bones, while his skin, muscles and bones resonated in accordance with an unique rhythm.

Lin Xun suddenly found that this time, even without the help of medicine, the improvement of practice was amazing. In just a few moments, more and more energy accumulated in his body, turning into recycling trickles.

What was more, a blast of fantastic power burning in his skin and bones was constantly refining his muscles, bones, flesh and blood.

His body improved at a high speed!

This high-speed progress was unbelievable.

How could he make such great progress in such a short time without the help of medicine? He was still in serious injuries! But everything went too well.

Lin Xun made a deep exploration of his body and soon found some clues.

All this seemed to have something to do with the Amrita Saint Pearl in the sea of his consciousness. Its divine sky-blue brilliance, like silent streams moistening the nature, was constantly nourishing his body and supplementing the energy that he needed! Additionally, it was through the four spiritual vortexes and Nature Insight & Spirit-devouring Scripture that the energy was totally digested so that he could make such wonderful changes both inside and outside his body.

With this in mind, Lin Xun dispelled his suspicion and recovered calm. He practiced harder.

…

The terrain of Demon-could Ridge was complex. The sky was perennially shrouded in a haze as thick as a lead block. There were not only jungles and mountains, but also swamps, wildernesses and volcanoes. Every area had different dangers.

On one of the wildernesses.

Shi Yu slumped down in a blade of bloody grass and gasped.

Around Shi Yu lay the corpses of more than a dozen strong barbarians, whose Totem Barbarian Tattoos had already been stripped off.

“Damn! There are a lot of hard nuts coming from the Voodoo-barbarian Tribe.”

Shi Yu muttered a curse and lay in the grass. He just experienced a fierce battle. He needed to calm down and think about the next step.

“Childe Shi,” before long, Lee Qiu came.

“How is it?” Shi Yu asked casually.

“Well, only one fish out of the net in the end,” Lee Qiu squatted down, his clothes were dyed with blood, his hair was a little messy, and his whole body was full of fierce momentum.

“Alright. According to this rate, as long as we can last for three months, the accumulated military merits we achieved will guarantee we will not be eliminated,” Shi Yu nodded.

“But… I feel something wrong,” Lee Qiu hesitated for a moment and whispered.

“Did you?” Shi Yu narrowed his eyes. “You found something wrong, too?”

Lee Qiu realized in an instant that Shi Yu had already noticed it, and then could not help saying, “Childe Shi, do you think the situation in the Demon-cloud Ridge is more dangerous than before?”

Shi Yu took a deep breath and his eyes were full of calmness “Yes, there are many more strong barbarians, which is beyond my expectation. I reckon that there are many powerful barbarians of the young generation from nine branches of the Voodoo-barbarian Tribe. With extremely high combat effectiveness, they are somewhat on a par with the trainees from Bloodthirsty Camp, so they will be our real trouble.”

Lee Qiu felt a shock, “What are they planning for?”

Shi Yu sneered, “There’s no doubt that they want to compare with us, trainees of the Bloodthirsty Camp, to see who can leave alive from the Demon-cloud Ridge in the end.”

Speaking of this, Shi Yu rose to his feet and looked far into the wilderness. He said, “You can regard this war zone assessment as a contest between the empire and the Voodoo-barbarian Tribe, but the leading roles involved in the contest are the overmatches of the younger generation from the two parties.”

After a pause, he continued, “Sometimes, if you want to prove whether a country is strong or not, you just need to check the young people in its country, and then you can have an inkling. As the saying goes, ‘strong young men make a strong country’.”

This was not a vehement speech, but it cheered Lee Qiu up. He was full of pride and enthusiasm, “Now, I am more interested in killing more barbarians!”

Shi Yu smiled and then seemed to think of something immediately. He frowned and said, “Have you found that many strong barbarians from Water Barbarian Branch are heading in the same direction in the past two days?”

Lee Qiu nodded.

Shi Yu murmured, “Something important must have happened.”

Lee Qiu asked, “Do you intend to go and have a look at it?”

Shi Yu shook his head, “No. If so, we shouldn’t involve ourselves in it. A big event inevitably leads to a big storm. It’s better for us not to meddle in such an event.”

Lee Qiu thought for a while and said with a smile, “That’s right. Now we just spent ten days in the Demon-cloud Ridge. It’s more than two months before the end of the assessment. The most urgent thing is to seek self-protection, and we ought not to ask for trouble.”

“I’m agreed with you,” Shi Yu commended Lee Qiu.

At the moment, they went deeper into the wilderness.

…

On the same day, in a mountainous area.

Ning Meng wielded his halberd, pierced through the heart of the last strong barbarian, who besieged Ning Meng, and threw the body away.

“Fuck, lame duck!” Ning Meng spat at the corpse and suddenly looked into the distance, frowning and confused.

He could perceive that several Water Barbarians who were dozens of meters away were rushing towards the west. Even though they found Ning Meng, they didn’t come to fight with him.

This was the seventh time in the past two days that Ning Meng had encountered such a situation.

Ning Meng thought that something big must have happened in western part of Demon-cloud Ridge; otherwise, it would never attract so many Water Barbarians.

“Well, I don’t want to meddle in whatever it is.”

Shaking his head, Ning Meng suppressed his curiosity and headed in another direction.

He had bet with Shi Yu and Lin Xun, so he would not take risks. If he wanted to stay in the Demon-cloud Ridge and finally won the bet, he must choose a secure strategy.

…

The same thing happened in different areas of Demon-cloud Ridge.

Not only Shi Yu, Lee Qiu and Ning Meng, but also the other trainees of Bloodthirsty Camp in other places noticed this abnormal situation more or less.

But the vast majority of trainees adopted the strategy of looking on indifferently since they did not want to make trouble for themselves.

However, a small group of trainees, like Qi Can, Mou Lengshin, holding the idea of profiting by disturbances, followed those barbarians quietly.

…

Next to the crater.

Shrizi sat cross-legged, cultivating.

Over the past two days, the wounds had turned into scars and he recovered most of his strength. But up to now, Lin Xun had not appeared, which made Shrizi feel a hint of anxiety. Now, under this volcano gathered hundreds of strong Water Barbarians, who had been defending the area closely, and no one dared to break into without authorization.

On the other hand, the uproar that Water Barbarians caused was too big, so it also attracted a lot of human overmatches.

These overmatches hid in the vicinity of this volcano, intending to take advantage of situation to profit apparently.

If Water Barbarians couldn’t recapture Amrita Saint Pearl as soon as possible, this situation would become more and more serious. At that time, even if Lin came out, many accidents might take place!

“The situation is somewhat complex; here came not only human overmatches, but also strong barbarians from the other branches. If they know that we are trying to recapture Amrita Saint Pearl, they will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.”

At this time, Quill Flamen who was extremely worried came.

Although Water Barbarian Branch and the other eight branches all belonged to the Voodoo-barbarian Tribe, their relationships were neither good nor bad, and sometimes they also had fierce competition.

Under such circumstances, Quill Flamen naturally did not want to see strong barbarians from the other branches approach.

“Wait for three more days!”

Shrizi took a deep breath and said, stressing each word, “If the stealer doesn’t come out after three days, I will use the forbidden art and try to get to the bottom of the volcano to see if he is dead or alive!”
