The chances of winning were fifty-fifty, depending on how heavily injured the Earth class was, as well as the skills and coordination of the two Mystics.
But even so, Elder Yu didn't dare gamble!
The items belonged to the hidden House Yu, but his life was his! It wasn't worth risking his life for these things- he didn't have the confidence to win in the current situation- and with that, Elder Yu was thinking of retreating!
On the other side, Lin Yi had already started to condense the energy bomb, looking at Elder Yu cautiously.
"Good, very good! Hiding your strength … No wonder you're so fearless, it turns out that you have two Mystic class helpers by your side. Tsk tsk, Thief Couple, good strength, good tricks, good scheming! " Elder Yu said good three times, and it was hard to tell if he was praising or mocking, "A tomb raiding organization with such strength, it's an eye-opener for me. This combination of yours, even in the common world, you're at the top!"
"Thanks for the compliment, Elder Yu. If we don't get along, then let's fight!" Lin Yi said.
"Hmph, between you and me, there will be a fight, but …" Elder Yu's tone changed suddenly, "But not now! Male thief, I'll remember you, we'll meet again … "
Elder Yu didn't even finish his sentence before he turned and ran, his speed shocking Lin Yi! Lin Yi thought that Elder Yu was going to make a move when he heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence, Elder Yu ran away faster than a rabbit, leaving Lin Yi speechless!
"He ran?" Lin Yi looked at the energy bomb in his hand, not sure if he should cry or laugh. Condensed it for nothing? It didn't seem to be of much use anymore?
Lingshan and Yutian looked at each other, "No way? Isn't this Earth class a little too cowardly? "
"He's always been a coward, not even as big as I am!" On the other side, Xiaoke had woken up a long time ago, but Lin Yi and Elder Yu were at each other's throats, so she didn't dare to say much. Only after Elder Yu left did she dare to speak.
"That's true. This old thing is more afraid of death than anyone else." Lin Yi nodded. "Forget it. Let's not care about him anymore."
Lin Yi didn't have absolute confidence that he could make Elder Yu stay, so he wouldn't chase after him. Lin Yi's main goal now was to find a way to save Xiaoxiao, so it was better to avoid trouble.
Lingshan and Yutian were a little disappointed- they'd just broken through to Mystic, and were rubbing their palms in preparation for a test, but their target was nowhere to be seen.
"He won't come back, right?" Lingshan said worriedly as she looked at the exit. "I'm afraid he'll turn around and attack us when we're not prepared."
"Unless his head's pierced," Lin Yi shook his head. "He won't come back."
Lin Yi had seen through Elder Yu's personality already. He was the type that would bully you to death if he could beat you, and run away if he couldn't. It'd be best if he never saw you again! Elder Yu had been as cowardly as a mouse on the way, and Lin Yi had seen that with his own eyes. He probably wouldn't see Elder Yu for a while.
Lingshan nodded after hearing Lin Yi's words- Lin Yi was probably right. Elder Yu probably wouldn't come back.
"Alright, you guys go back to resting. I'll guard this place." Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the ground and continued reading the notebooks. This was good, Lin Yi didn't have to worry about Elder Yu taking it away, and so Lin Yi didn't have to worry too much about memorizing the things in the books.
Lin Yi waited for Xiaoke and Old Hei to wake up, but Elder Yu was nowhere to be seen. Evidently, Elder Yu didn't plan on coming back, and this made Lin Yi heave a sigh of relief. Elder Yu was afraid of Lin Yi, but Lin Yi wasn't afraid of Elder Yu either.
It was just that Lin Yi was more fearless, and Elder Yu was more afraid of his life. This way, Elder Yu's aura was weaker. As the saying goes, the hard is afraid of the hard, and the hard is afraid of the reckless! Elder Yu, on the other hand, was the hard one, and Lin Yi was the reckless one. Comparing the two, it was obvious who was better.
After eating some biscuits, Lin Yi led the group forward. They didn't see any traces of Elder Yu along the way. Elder Yu was very fast, and if he went at full speed, Lin Yi and the others wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
Just like that, they walked for another two days. The nights were the same, and Lin Yi stood guard. On the third day, Lin Yi suddenly stopped!
Lin Yi's sudden stop startled Lingshan, Yutian, Xiaoke, and Old Hei.
"What's wrong, male thief? Is there danger ahead?" Old Hei's heart had just calmed down a couple of days ago, and Lin Yi's actions almost made him explode.
"There's the smell of blood, and it seems fresh?" Lin Yi said after a deep breath.
"The smell of blood?" Lingshan and Yutian paused and sniffed attentively. They were both sensitive to the smell of blood, and they could smell it as well when Lin Yi said that. "There's indeed the smell of blood … It's not far away …"
"It can't be Elder Yu, right?" Old Hei said hesitantly.
"I don't know, but it's possible." With that, Lin Yi started walking forward. He could smell the blood, but the jade on Lin Yi's chest didn't warn him anymore. This meant that there shouldn't be any danger ahead!
Seeing that Lin Yi was leaving, the group quickly followed, but they didn't get far before Lin Yi stopped again.
"What's wrong?" Lingshan asked.
"Look at the ground!" Lin Yi pointed the flashlight at the ground not far away.
Everyone looked down and saw a pile of swords scattered on the ground not far away. There were faint bloodstains on a few of the swords, and there were also bloodstains on a corner of the ground.
"Ha …" Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. "The person who designed this tomb … I really don't know what to say. This was probably the last mechanism, and Elder Yu triggered it. It's simple, but if you don't put your guard up, the consequences will be severe."
"As expected, the mechanism here is controlled by a very inconspicuous silk thread. Once the thread breaks, the mechanism will activate, and the swords will shoot out. Elder Yu probably walked too hastily, and it makes sense that he couldn't see clearly in the darkness!" Xiaoke said as she squatted down and found a very thin broken thread.
