Chapter 993 - Break Through (1/2)
As the Odin Kingdom’s people got louder and louder, they disturbed Lin Yun to the point where he couldn’t completely tune them out. Xiuban and the others were angrily staring at them. Lin Yun frowned, not paying attention to the Odin Kingdom.
‘A bunch of idiots… They think that everything is over because they killed a Nine-Tailed Icefox? The ice marks in the surroundings are at most a hundred years old. In other words, that Nine-Tailed Icefox had definitely been sleeping here for around a hundred years. It wasn’t always guarding this place.
‘This means that there is nothing here apart from the twelve Beast Gods’ statues. The hallway is huge, but there is nothing valuable. The materials used to build the temple are valuable, but unfortunately, it’s impossible for us to dig it up.
‘This kind of lousy area only had a Heaven Rank Magic Beast to protect it. Are they all idiots? They only rushed and got rid of that magic beast…
Lin Yun ignored Dedale and frowned as he kept carefully studying the temple, especially that several-hundred-meter-tall wall.
Seeing Lin Yun walking towards the corpse of the Nine-Tailed Icefox, Dylas immediately shouted with a sharp voice, “Mafa Merlin, you damned scoundrel, what do you think you are doing? You only lazed around and didn’t help out, yet you want a portion of the loot now that we managed to kill that Nine-Tailed Icefox? This is too much!”
Hearing Dylas’ loud shout, the other forces of the Odin Kingdom also reacted. They didn’t know Lin Yun was only walking over to study the strange patterns on the wall at the end of the hallway, so they assumed that he was going for the corpse of the Icefox.
“Andlusan insects, you are really a group of louts! You stayed away when fighting, yet you are first to come to collect loot once the fight is over!”
“You are really disgusting, lazy, cowardly, and greedy goblins…”
“Letting these leeches follow us was the worst decision…”
The Odin Kingdom’s people were all criticizing him. Dylas felt proud of himself as everyone stood on his side.
“Mafa Merlin, what do you have to say now? Immediately f*ck off, stay far away from the body of the Nine-Tailed Icefox…”
Lin Yun frowned in concentration without paying any attention to them. He looked at the patterns under the corpse of the Icefox and linked them with the patterns on the tall wall and managed to gather some clues.
Those numerous patterns were strange, and they also looked gorgeous. They weren’t decorations, but rather some sort of alchemy pattern, a very ancient one. They covered a few hundred meters, close to a kilometer, but that was just a portion.
Lin Yun’s expression suddenly worsened as he noticed that there was no blood around the corpse of the Icefox, and it became even worse when he found out that even the blood on the surface of the Icefox’s body had disappeared.
Lin Yun frowned and moved back towards his team. He sneered as he saw the Odin Kingdom’s side still blaming and scolding, especially Dylas, who was making the most noise.
“If you have this kind of drive, then you might as well start thinking about how to deal with the incoming troubles.”
After saying those words, Lin Yun returned to his own group with a heavy expression. Seeing his expression, Xiuban and the others instantly understood that there would be trouble. They all stopped quarreling with the Odin Kingdom and instantly got into battle stances.
The Odin Kingdom’s forces were suddenly startled when they heard this, especially Morgan and Arnaud.
The others didn’t know how powerful Lin Yun was, but Morgan and Arnaud had seen how easily he had dealt with a Pseudo-Heaven Rank Magic Beast with their own eyes. Something that would make him look worried would definitely be troublesome.
But the others were only slightly startled. Their first reaction was to assume that Mafa Merlin was making excuses. Dylas even sneered, “Mafa Merlin, you are still-”
But Dylas didn’t have time to finish his sentence because a terrifying change occurred. The corpse of that Nine-Tailed Icefox rapidly shrank, its bright fur darkening. It was as if its body was being devoured by Demons.
The corpse withered, and at that time, everyone discovered that not a single drop of its blood could be seen after its death. Now, even the flesh essence and the mana of the Nine-Tailed Icefox disappeared.
In less than three seconds, the Nine-Tailed Icefox’s corpse turned into a pile of withered ashes. Only an icy blue mana crystal was still floating in the air. But soon after, before anyone could react, that mana crystal also collapsed in a glaring brilliance and turned into fragments.
That true Heaven Rank mana crystal exploded, but not a single wisp of mana was scattered. The mana completely poured onto the ground, and those beautiful and strange patterns shone as if swept by a ripple.
In an instant, the entire dusky hallway became bright as the patterns covering every corner of the hallway shone.
Lin Yun came to a conclusion after clearly seeing the arrangement of the entire hallway, as well as the arrangement of the patterns.
Blood Sacrifice.
That Heaven Rank Nine-Tailed Icefox was an offering, an offering waiting to be slaughtered. The flesh, soul, and mana crystal of the Nine-Tailed Icefox were all part of the offering, the offering to activate this temple!
Using a Heaven Rank Magic Beast as a Blood Sacrifice’s offering in order to activate this temple would cause everything within to be teleported.
This temple’s hallway was an Extreme Teleportation Array, but where would this teleport everyone?
That definitely wouldn’t be a cheerful place…
