"What are you doing?"
Lan Xiaoni wrapped her arms tightly around herself at the sight of the sinister smile on An Lin's face, and she backed away in a fearful manner.
"You discovered the treasure so quickly. Tell me the truth, do you know anything about the Fallen God Seabed Tomb?" An Lin interrogated in a stern voice.
Lan Xiaoni immediately shook her head. "No! I know nothing about this ancient tomb. I just happened to see that treasure, so I wanted to take it. "
An Lin looked at the mirror in his hand to find that the Vermilion Bird Mirror hadn't said anything, which meant that Lan Xiaoni was telling the truth. This was actually quite normal. After all, this was the first time the tomb had been opened, so no one knew what was inside. They could only speculate based on the final words of the two deceased seniors.
"Alright, then be careful and don't die." An Lin nodded before turning his gaze elsewhere.
Lan Xiaoni's expression was frosty, and she didn't say anything.
She knew that An Lin wasn't saying this out of concern for her. If she died, the restrictions in the tomb would view An Lin as an enemy and attack An Lin.
Hence, An Lin was saying this purely for his own sake.
Sigh … If only Chen Nan was here. He would definitely protect her …
Lan Xiaoni was feeling a little disconsolate. She was starting to miss her fiancé who was so close to getting married. However, the image of Chen Nan fleeing without any hesitation flashed through her mind again.
"Waah … Heartless bastard! You're so handsome, but you're not reliable at all …"
Lan Xiaoni couldn't help but burst into tears again. She hadn't interacted much with Chen Nan, and there was a reason for her engagement, but her heart had already been captivated by Chen Nan's looks. Was someone who was obsessed with looks not worthy of love?
An Lin turned toward the sobbing mermaid and spoke in a cold voice, "Aside from the fact that I'm handsome, everything else you've said is slander!"
Lan Xiaoni wiped her tears away with a dazed expression. "I … I wasn't talking about you."
"Hmm? I'm not handsome? "An Lin raised his voice as killing intent suddenly erupted.
"Handsome … You're very handsome!" Lan Xiaoni's body stiffened upon hearing this.
"Woman, don't always cry in the future, it's annoying!" An Lin said in an extremely overbearing manner.
Lan Xiaoni lowered her head and interlaced her fingers together. "Yes!"
An Lin nodded in satisfaction and took the lead. "Follow me, I'll protect you."
"Yes!" Lan Xiaoni nodded instinctively.
But in next to no time, she recovered from her shock, and her pair of dark blue eyes stared blankly at the figure that was moving forward without end. She thought with slight disbelief, He said he would … protect me?
An Lin's original plan was to have Lan Xiaoni lead the way as cannon fodder.
However, he was worried that Lan Xiaoni would be too weak and accidentally fall into the trap. In that case, he would become the enemy of the entire tomb, and that would be even worse.
After careful consideration, he decided to let Lan Xiaoni tag along with him.
An Lin continued onward atop his brick as he unleashed his divine sense in a frenzy, enveloping the entire area.
"Hmm, there's nothing else here. Let's continue."
After flying for a while.
An Lin's brows furrowed slightly.
The vastness of this place had far exceeded his imagination.
He looked around to find that there were still countless ancient swords embedded into the ground.
"That's strange …" He suddenly slowed down.
Lan Xiaoni was caught off guard and almost crashed into An Lin's back, upon which her heart skipped a beat.
"Wh … what's wrong?" The mermaid princess was a little nervous as she looked around with her dark blue eyes, thinking that they had fallen into some kind of trap.
"Where did the Spirit Fish Clan and the Heavenly Turtle Tribe get so many swords?" An Lin was a little perplexed.
Lan Xiaoni: "…"
I've been so nervous for so long, and this is what you're telling me?
An Lin continued, "Even if these ancient swords are very brittle and don't look like they're worth much, it would still take an immeasurable amount of manpower and resources to create so many swords. What are these swords for? There's no need to do this at all! Is it just to create a grand spectacle? "
Lan Xiaoni faltered slightly upon hearing this. His words did make sense.
This was a scene that she was used to, but there were a lot of loopholes in it.
At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with creating a grand spectacle. However, they had been walking for so long, yet they still couldn't reach the end. This was a little too strange.
It was like building a small garden in front of a mansion. That was very stylish and elegant. But building a forest in front of the mansion? That would be insane!
An Lin suddenly thought of that blue necklace.
He had only wanted to take the necklace with him so that he could take it back and play with it.
However, now that he thought about it, Lan Xiaoni's attempt to take the necklace with him had triggered a reaction from the ancient swords. Perhaps the two were connected?
An Lin pulled out the blue necklace from his storage ring.
All of the surrounding ancient swords suddenly rose into the sky as if they were being drawn by something. Flying swords rained down upon An Lin with fearsome might.
Lan Xiaoni's expression shifted drastically, and she was just about to unleash a spell technique to defend herself when she suddenly heard a cold harrumph.
Boom!
Purple Divine Flames erupted, enshrouding the two of them as the terrifying temperatures caused the air to warp and twist and the earth to melt. The flying swords crashed into the wall of flames, only to be vaporized into wisps of smoke by the scorching temperatures. None of them were able to penetrate the wall.
Lan Xiaoni stopped and turned to look at An Lin, only to be greeted by the sight of his calm expression, as if he didn't even take these powerful flying swords seriously.
For some reason, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind. From a certain perspective, An Lin was quite reliable …
After unleashing the Demonic Star Flame, An Lin focused his attention on the necklace.
Divine Inspection Technique!
Sword Burial Necklace. This was an offensive weapon forged with sword intent stars as its core. It could absorb "dead" flying swords into the necklace and store energy before releasing them.
"Dead" swords had to have had masters in the past. After the master passed away, the swords lost their spiritual nature and were referred to as "dead" swords.
"This …" An Lin was astonished.
Never would he have thought that this necklace would be a weapon that utilized the power of dead swords!
Dead swords were quite rare and were often seen on battlefields, where they were stained by the blood of men and death. However, it just so happened that all of the ancient swords here seemed to be dead swords …
An Lin's heart throbbed with pain as he looked at the flying swords being melted by his Divine Flames. These were all treasures! He immediately canceled the Divine Flames before refining the necklace and tossing it into the air.
"Come on! I'll take as many as you have! "
He activated the spatial absorption ability of the necklace with all his might.
A dark light erupted from the Sword Burial Necklace before forming a blue hole.
The entire earth instantly began to tremor!
Countless ancient swords rose from the ground. Like a surging river, they swarmed toward the blue hole released by the necklace and disappeared.
Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, a hundred million …
That's right, all of the flying swords in this world had begun to move!
An Lin's excitement was tinged with a hint of concern. Dead swords were so rare, but there were so many of them here. He felt like the mystery was only getting bigger …
Tears welled up in Lan Xiaoni's eyes as she stared blankly at the scenes unfolding before her eyes.
Even an idiot would know that this treasure that she had stumbled upon was super bad * ss!
She had missed such a bad * ss treasure by a hair's breadth!
Lan Xiaoni's heart throbbed with pain, but she couldn't do anything about it.
An Lin couldn't be bothered with the emotions of a lowly soldier, and he continued to absorb the Dead Sword.
The Dead Sword would be nurtured within the Sword Burial Necklace, and it would be able to unleash even more power than before. It would also become more powerful as its master's power of the dao of the sword deepened.
It could be said that this was a treasure with a lot of room for growth.
However, in terms of value, it crushed the vast majority of immortal tools!
He had only just entered the tomb, and he had already stumbled upon such a fantastic treasure.
An Lin couldn't help but look forward to what he was going to encounter next …
