The blue hole in the Sword Burial Chain was still relentlessly absorbing the flying swords.
A peculiar phenomenon began to unfold, and An Lin and Lan Xiaoni's expressions shifted drastically.
"The ground around us is shrinking?" Lan Xiaoni's eyes widened, and she instinctively flew into the air as she instinctively distanced herself from the ground.
"This is most likely a fake ground …" An Lin's lips twitched.
The ground continued to shrink with the blue hole at the center, as if the entire world was shrinking with it at the center. As for where the disappearing matter went, even An Lin didn't know.
The only consolation was that the death swords in the ground weren't fake.
As the ground shrank, the entire space seemed to be shrinking as well.
An Lin could see a murky grey boundary quickly crashing down toward him, as if it were a cage that was enshrouding a living being, and it continued to shrink until it exploded.
After all of the death swords had been absorbed, An Lin quickly stowed the Sword Burial Chain away before unleashing his Divine Flames and Holy Flames toward the boundary!
Lan Xiaoni's features paled, and she summoned a massive wave to crash toward the shrinking boundary.
However, the massive wave was instantly evaporated into water vapor upon crashing into An Lin's Divine Flames.
An Lin's Divine Flames were also slightly weakened as a result.
An Lin: "…"
Lan Xiaoni: "…"
"If it weren't for the fact that you can't die, I would definitely toss you out of here right now," An Lin said with a serious expression.
Lan Xiaoni hung her head in shame as tears welled up in her eyes.
Boom!
The shrinking boundary clashed with the flames, instantly dispersing them.
It's this powerful?
An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath.
He was just about to unleash his Origin Energy of the Netherworld in a last-ditch effort when the spatial boundary completely shrank before engulfing both his and Lan Xiaoni's bodies.
Another burst of dazzling spatial teleportation ensued.
An Lin opened his eyes again to find that he had arrived in a sealed corridor.
The corridor was quite wide and was constructed from green bricks. Countless blue candlelight lit up the sides of the corridor, and there were statues of mermaids and Heavenly Turtle Tribe members standing on either side of the corridor.
The expressions of the statues were either smiling, laughing, fearful, or twisted. Some of their smiles were so wide that their mouths even reached their ears. In any case, they all looked very painful to the eyes.
Sealed, quiet, strange, terrifying …
A certain atmosphere was spreading.
Lan Xiaoni's reaction became even more intense at the sight of the mermaid statues, and her breathing accelerated as she silently leaned against An Lin.
An Lin said impatiently, "Stay away from me, your seafood smell is too strong!"
Lan Xiaoni almost threw up a mouthful of blood upon hearing this. "This is not the aroma of seafood, it's the aroma of your body! Do you understand? How can you use such a clumsy adjective as seafood when I have such an enchanting aroma?! "
The noble Mermaid Princess couldn't hold it in any longer. For the first time, she dissed An Lin.
He could look down on her, but how could he insult her fragrance?!
An Lin didn't get angry. He just asked curiously, "But it smells delicious. Isn't it just the smell of seafood?"
Lan Xiaoni's teeth chattered with rage.
All of a sudden, she seemed to have noticed something, and she couldn't help but stumble back a few steps as she screamed, "Ah … Don't even think about that! I may be beautiful, but I don't taste good!"
An Lin stared at Lan Xiaoni with confusion on his face. Why did she say something like that? He didn't understand what was going on. Was there something wrong with this woman?!
He had yet to realize just how much damage he had dealt to this mermaid princess' heart by describing her as a seafood flavor.
Lan Xiaoni felt like An Lin was trying to eat her by describing her as seafood!
An Lin shook his head and continued down the corridor.
He touched the statues to find that they were all made from copper and didn't look very special.
This made him give up on the idea of taking all of the statues with him. He couldn't do that as it would leave a bad impression on the tomb's owner. It was better to take the best treasures with him.
The two of them walked for a short while before arriving at the end of the corridor.
Within a circular chamber, there were two tightly shut doors and a key.
One of the doors had the words "Tomb Treasure" written on it, while the other door had the words "Tribe Secret" written on it.
It was quite clear that she could only choose one of the two paths.
A scorching light appeared in Lan Xiaoni's eyes as she looked at the door to the Tribe Secret.
She had never forgotten her mission, which was to fight for the future of the Spirit Fish Clan! It was quite clear that the door to the Tribe Secret contained information that would determine the future of the Spirit Fish Clan!
Lan Xiaoni made her way toward the key and held it tightly in her hand as she looked at the door with the words "Tribe Secret" written on it, as if she were looking at a door of hope.
She slowly made her way toward the door before a hand clamped down on her snowy-white shoulder.
"Oi, where are you going? You're going in the wrong direction. "
A steady but dignified voice suddenly came from behind him.
Lan Xiaoni's body shuddered, and she turned around with difficulty to look into the eyes of a man with an implacable expression.
"But, but we can find more treasures. The future of our tribe is more important," Lan Xiaoni argued.
She had already expended a lot of courage to say this.
An Lin chuckled lightly upon hearing this. "What does the future of your tribe have to do with me? I only want the treasures …"
Lan Xiaoni's eyes widened with incredulity. "You … Didn't Gu Yu make an agreement with you? Didn't it ask you to bring back the secret of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe? "
Gu Yu had personally escorted An Lin here, so there was no way that Lan Xiaoni would believe that the two of them hadn't reached some sort of agreement.
"There was an agreement. It told me to take all of the treasures in the tomb after I entered it. After that, if I encountered any information that I didn't understand, I would take a picture of it and bring it back with me. "
An Lin spoke with a nonchalant expression.
Lan Xiaoni was astonished.
What a blissful request!
The stark contrast between the two of them almost brought tears to Lan Xiaoni's eyes.
She had come here with the heavy responsibility of her tribe on her shoulders, but An Lin was here to make money!
But how could she give up?
Fighting for the future of her tribe was a form of honor, and she wasn't going to back down because of this!
An Lin pointed at the "ancient tomb treasure vault" door and issued a stern command, "Hurry up and open the door with the key!"
"Yes!" Lan Xiaoni nodded obediently before making her way over to the ancient tomb treasure vault door and opening it with the key.
An Lin was too powerful.
Fighting him head-on was not a rational course of action, so she had to endure this humiliation!
The two of them entered the door and walked along a narrow corridor. Soon, they emerged from the corridor and arrived at an extremely spacious area.
A statue of a Spirit Fish Clan man over ten thousand feet tall stood at the very center.
He had a handsome face with long, curly hair that fell all the way down to his waist, and he held an intricately crafted staff in his hand.
After the two of them arrived at the spacious area, the two eyes of the statue suddenly turned to stare directly at An Lin and Lan Xiaoni.
An Lin's heart constricted as he felt like he was being stared at by some kind of power.
Lan Xiaoni couldn't help but let loose a cry of surprise. "He's the High Priest of our tribe buried in the ancient tomb, Xi Haizi!"
