Han Jin slowly opened his tired eyes. The sky was still dark, almost the same as before he entered the trance state. Most of his primordial energy had been recovered by at least eighty percent. Judging from the time, something was wrong.
"Harley?" Han Jin called out softly.
"Master, I'm here …" Harley formed the Soul-Devouring Orb again and flew down from above.
"What day is it now?"
"It's the fourth day, Master."
"I've been meditating for an entire day?"
"Not even a day, just a few hours away," Harley replied.
Han Jin let out a long breath, stretched his limbs, and stood up slowly.
"Master, are you not ready yet?" Harley asked.
"It's far from enough. It won't be easy to scare Chesam." Han Jin's expression was somewhat helpless. "Help me keep an eye on him."
"Understood, Master." Harley nodded. The Soul-Devouring Orb circled in the air, then sped up and flew towards the peak of the mountain.
Han Jin's hands began to weave incantations, and as the incantation changed, streaks of looming brilliance were flung out from between his fingers and palms, either imprinted on the mountain rocks or hidden in the ice veins.
Speaking of which, Han Jin was very lucky. At least he knew that a few days had passed. If he wanted to, he could rest at any time. In comparison, Morrisons was living in an endless hell of suffering.
"Wayayaya …" Morrisons swung his Fire Dragon Sword like a madman, attacking with all his moves. However, his sword moves were completely disorganized. He had forgotten all the techniques he had learned since he was a child. Morrisons's mind was a mess. He only knew how to attack with all his strength and speed, trying to push his enemy as far away as possible.
The angel fighting Morrisons seemed to be at ease. More accurately, he was playing a game. When Morrisons attacked, his sword would always be in front of Morrisons. After a while, the two swords would collide. If he really wanted to hurt Morrisons, he could easily take advantage of the opportunity to end Morrisons' life.
The angel didn't try to parry. As he floated in the air, he was inevitably pushed back by Moxinke's crazy attacks. Moxinke had lost count of how many times he had attacked. When the angel was forced to the other side of the starry sky, he made a feint and staggered back to his original position. Then he turned around and raised the Fiery Dragon Sword, pointing it at the angel, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Stay away from me!" Do you hear me? You idiot! "
The angel didn't seem to hear Morrisons's insults. He was still floating in the air.
Morrisons's body swayed. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground. Then, he laid down. His expression was very strange. It was full of despair. One of his eyes was tightly closed, but the other was slowly closing. When his eyelids touched, it suddenly opened as if it had been electrocuted. He observed the angel's reaction.
A few seconds later, the angel spread his wings and floated forward. Morrisons couldn't help but groan in pain. He wanted to jump up and fight, but he couldn't control his limbs. It was as if his soul had given up on this body. Should he continue fighting? He should sleep for a while. The angel would need some time to get here. Morrisons's vigilant eye slowly closed. Then, he reflexively opened it again. This time, it only opened a little. Then, it slowly closed again.
Morrisons was too tired. Ever since Han Jin left, his battle with the angel had never stopped. Even if he hid in a corner, the angel wouldn't let him go. Every seven or eight seconds, the angel would attack him. It was an indescribable torture. If he didn't have a shred of consciousness left, he would have used the fire dragon sword to cut his own neck. For the first time, Morrisons realized that being unconscious was a great blessing. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Han Jin hadn't lied to him. There was something invisible and untouchable here that was slowly replenishing his energy. It kept him at his peak.
The angel floated above Morrisons, but Morrisons was still lying there, motionless. The angel slowly raised his sword of light and mercilessly stabbed down.
The sword of light left a deep wound on Morrisons' shoulder. Blood flowed out and dyed his robe red. However, Morrisons still didn't move.
The angel slowly lowered his sword of light. There was a limit to his attacks. He wouldn't force Morrisons too much. Another angel floated over. Just as he was about to heal Morrisons, something happened. Morrisons suddenly jumped up from the ground and waved his fire dragon sword crazily. He slashed at the angel without thinking. "You really won't let me sleep … You really won't let me sleep … Wahahaha …"
The angel easily dodged the attack. Morrisons, on the other hand, had swung his sword dozens of times. He felt that something was wrong. Just then, the other angel with the sword of light said, "Your Excellency Morrisons, your opponent is me …"
Moxinke's sword stopped abruptly. He looked at the angel in front of him and then at the other angel. With a howl, he rushed towards the angel who was holding the lightsaber, slashing wildly and roaring, "You f * cking won't let me sleep … You f * cking won't let me sleep …"
The angel blocked Morrisons' attacks with ease. His body was pushed further and further away. Morrisons put away his fire dragon sword and staggered back to his corner. He turned around and pointed his sword at the angel. The two angels stood still and waited silently. This should be the time for Morrisons to curse. In the past few days, the same scene had been repeated countless times.
Morrisons's lips trembled violently. He wanted to use the world's most vicious words to vent his anger. But what was the most vicious word? With Morrisons's current intelligence, he couldn't think of anything. After a long time, he finally said, "Sir, please do me a favor …"
The angel was using his actions to answer Morrisons. He flapped his wings of light and slowly approached Morrisons.
"Ah … ah …" Morrisons suddenly threw away his fire dragon sword and used his fists to hit his head. He hated himself. Why couldn't he faint?!
After a few punches, Moxinke's body suddenly stiffened, and he fell backward little by little. With a plop, he fell straight on the ground. Such a violent shock didn't wake him up at all. In a few seconds at most, he was already snoring softly.
The angel flew above Morrisons and slowly raised his sword of light. At this time, the other angel suddenly said, "He's reaching his limit. If this continues, his mind will completely collapse."
"Give him an hour," the angel said as he put away his sword of light.
"He has already forgotten to release his Battle Energy. I'm doubtful. Can this training method really help him improve?" The other angel said. As the servants of God, the intelligence of the angels was not inferior to any other race. Although they had given their loyalty to Han Jin and betrayed God, their battle techniques and talents were still preserved. Han Jin didn't want them to become useless.
"His attack speed is getting faster and faster, and his strength is also increasing. He has far surpassed the elite warriors of the beastmen race," the angel with the sword of light said. The angel with the lightsaber said, "When he can release his dou qi, his attacks will be much more ferocious than now."
"But in my eyes, he doesn't seem to have changed."
"We can exchange."
"Forget it. I'm not interested in him." The angel thought for a moment and said, "In an hour, he should be awake. Give him the book that Master left for him. If we change the time, I'm afraid he won't be in the mood to read."
"Okay." The angel with the sword of light said slowly, "But … he has many tricks up his sleeve. We have to be careful. He's deliberately stalling for time."
"We'll only give him ten minutes to read. If he wants to use this time to sleep … then it's up to him," the other angel said. "I hope he won't disappoint Master."
When Morrisons fell asleep, an extremely luxurious expedition team had already entered the depths of the underground. The expedition team was made up of seven powerhouses. Gao Bin and Majordomo Gail were the leaders. Sunier, Yalina, Gibran, Julia, and Kane were the members of the expedition team. They had made a lot of preparations in advance, but they didn't tell Han Jin. With their status, no one would interfere with them when Hogan asked for the necessary supplies. Hogan wanted to tell Han Jin, but the pressure from the two future matriarchs was too great, so he didn't dare to.
The expedition started from the old house of Morgan & Co., where there was a hidden passage leading to the underground. In fact, when Dismark raided Morgan & Co., he also found this passage. The messy scene in front of the passage was proof, and there were dozens of human skeletons in the passage. Sunier was very meticulous. She deliberately found Fabian and asked him about the situation at that time. Fabian said that no one from Morgan & Co was imprisoned in the prison. Then Fabian volunteered to help Sunier. After all, he was an "old man" in the Holy Crown City, so he was familiar with the place. Soon, he found the generals who were in charge of encircling Morgan & Co., and after learning that Qi Li, the young lady of Morgan & Co., was still alive and had become Han Jin's good friend, the generals were very happy and told him everything.
Strictly speaking, it was Han Jin's dereliction of duty. At that time, he also wanted to find out how Morgan & Co was destroyed. However, the death of the steward of Morgan & Co., diverted his attention to the Purple Flower of Hell, and successfully uprooted the Purple Flower of Hell in the Holy Crown City. After that, he ignored it.
On the night when Morgan & Co. was attacked, some people successfully hid in the secret passage. However, they didn't finish well. Dismark's men found the secret passage and chased them in. Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, the leaders of Morgan & Co. immediately ordered the guards to kill them. Obviously, after Dismark hinted Morgan & Co to hand over the Glorious Battle Robe, the leaders of Morgan & Co. had expected this day to come. That was why they secretly sent away the children who represented the future of the family, including Qi Li.
Perhaps because of the secret treasure, Morgan & Co. had always maintained a strict single-line inheritance system. When the children grew up, only the most suitable one would be left. The others would get a share of the money and then have to leave the Holy Crown City. After all, the fewer people who knew the secret, the better.
According to the memories of the generals, Qi Li was the last remaining heir. The others had all been killed by Dismark.
At the beginning of the expedition, they were delayed for a long time because they had to clean up the skeletons. Who knew if Qi Li's parents were among them? In fact, they had never asked Qi Li about Morgan & Co., because Qi Li was weak and not as tough as the experienced professionals. When Sunier and Qi Li talked about the secret treasure, they also carefully avoided sensitive topics.
After entering the group of corridors connected to the Abyss World, Yalina and Cain were responsible for looking for the magic marks left behind. In fact, even the owner of Morgan & Co. didn't know the specific way. There were magic marks to guide them, and anything that was shown in words or pictures could bring harm to Morgan & Co. Therefore, the secret map in the magic seal of Morgan & Co. was just a precaution. The validity of the magic mark was half a year. If the mark couldn't be replaced within half a year, they might lose the wealth left by their ancestors forever, which would be a big joke.
The owner of Morgan & Co. was in a very contradictory mood. On the one hand, they wanted to leave enough useful information for themselves and their descendants, but on the other hand, they wanted to confuse all the outsiders who knew the secret. But for Gao Bin and Majordomo Gail, those things were just child's play. The worst result was that they had to go back several times. Moreover, although the magic mark had lost its effect, there were still some traces left. Cain might not be able to see it, but it would definitely be difficult to escape Yalina's senses. Moreover, she had prepared a large number of detection potions. Since she knew that there were magic marks nearby, she had to find them even if she had to turn the world upside down.
After about seven or eight days, a fork appeared in front of them. The light of the magic lamp couldn't illuminate too far. The three dark holes looked very gloomy, as if there were countless monsters hiding inside. However, the members of the expedition were not afraid at all. On the contrary, they looked at each other with joy. Even Gao Bin was grinning. This was the first fork they had encountered in a few days. It just matched the treasure map that Qi Li and the others had snatched, which meant that Morgan's secret treasure was nearby.
Sunier took out the treasure map, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said loudly, "Follow me!" After that, she chose the fork on the right and strode inside.
Gao Bin hurriedly took a step forward and walked in front of Sunier. Cain held the magic lamp and followed behind Sunier. Majordomo Gail observed the surroundings. When everyone had entered the fork, he slowly walked forward. It was not wrong to be careful. If he and Gao Bin were to be injured in an accident, he would not be able to face Han Jin.
After walking for only ten minutes, Gao Bin, who was in front, found that it was a dead end. The path was blocked by piles of gravel.
"Sunier, are you sure?" Gibran said in surprise. "This is a dead end!"
"Yes." Gao Bin grabbed a handful of gravel. "These stones are not naturally formed. According to my speculation, there should be a magic circle that was not mentioned on the treasure map. Unlike the magic markings, the markings will automatically disappear when the time comes, but the magic circle will activate on its own."
"Let me do it!" Julia took out an arrow and slowly pulled the bowstring.
A green light shot out and hit the pile of gravel in front of them. Countless vines grew out of the cracks in the stones, and the vines were still expanding at an extremely fast speed. The roots that went deep into the cracks became thicker and thicker. Gradually, the gravel was forced out and flowed forward slowly like lava. The vines continued to wriggle, trying to use their branches and stems to push the gravel away.
"There's a path in front!" Julia suddenly said.
"I told you. It can't be wrong." Gao Bin smiled.
After a while, the effect of the Treant's Arrow disappeared, and a hole about two feet wide appeared in front of them. Kane held the magic lamp and shone it, and found that the pile of gravel was about thirty meters long. Fortunately, they had brought Julia with them. If they had dug by themselves, it would have taken them half a day.
Gao Bin leaned forward and was about to go into the hole, when Majordomo Gail stepped forward and grabbed Gao Bin's arm. "Let me do it. You stay behind them." After saying that, Majordomo Gail had already cast an invisibility spell. The hole was too narrow. If there was any danger on the other side, Gao Bin, who couldn't move freely, would be at a great disadvantage.
"So careful …" Kane murmured. He couldn't understand. With the strength of this exploration team, they could do whatever they wanted on the continent. Besides, in the past seven or eight days, they hadn't even seen a shadow of a ghost, let alone an enemy.
Gao Bin smiled and didn't say anything. The path of the strong was very dangerous. He could understand Majordomo Gail. If it were him, he would be just as careful. Real danger always came unexpectedly. Was it still danger that could be seen?
After about ten breaths, Majordomo Gail's voice came from the other side. "Come here."
"Yalina, you go first," Sunier said.
"Oh …" Yalina lifted the hem of her magic robe with a bit of heartache. She could only crawl through the two-foot-wide hole.
"Don't be so smug." Sunier couldn't help but laugh. "Even if you don't crawl, you're already dirty enough. Smell yourself. What do you smell like?"
"You're the same!" Yalina replied with a smile. After being together for so many days underground, the feelings between them had gradually become natural. If it was still like before, where they were afraid of being hurt and carefully avoided hurting each other, they would never joke with each other like this.
"If only there was a place to take a shower …" Julia murmured. She also couldn't stand it anymore.
"Even if you don't take a shower, you're still the most fragrant in my heart!" Of course, Gibran wouldn't miss the opportunity and whispered in Julia's ear. It was hard to imagine that a cruel thief like him could have such a mushy side.
"Go away!" Julia's face immediately turned red. Fortunately, the darkness here provided her with enough cover.
