Chapter 30: Triggering the Trap! Lin Qi’an Reaps the Benefits
“Majestic prowess of the Crown Prince, we can’t compare!”
“We’ll go ahead!”
Now that the beasts had been slain, they couldn’t wait to search for treasures. Lin Qi’an was at ease because Beiyang lacked nothing. But those people were different; any treasure could greatly enhance their strength.
“Heh, what a bunch of fools…” At this moment, hidden within the magma, Ling Tian sneered.
“You probably can’t even imagine that the true treasure trove lies in the palace beneath the magma and the key to opening the palace is within the bodies of these two beasts.”
“Now, they’re all mine! Lin Qi’an, your time to flaunt won’t last much longer.”
Ahead, some cultivators reached the opposite side of the magma lake, where a stone gate blocked the way, with a mechanism on the wall.
“This mechanism should open the door!”
One cultivator immediately went to pull the lever. Creak. But instead of opening the stone door, the entire mountain began to tremble violently!
The rock walls above started to crumble. The magma below churned violently like boiling water.
“What’s happening!!”
“Oh no, is it a trap?!”
“Retreat!”
Indeed, the real treasure trove lay beneath the magma. The mechanism above was a trap. Once triggered…
Boom!!
The magma lake erupted, sending waves a hundred feet high, instantly engulfing all the cultivators!
“Quick, use spiritual qi to protect yourselves!”
The cultivators frantically used all their strength to shield their bodies. Those who were slow or weak were instantly melted….
The terrifying magma, with a life of its own, seemed like a giant beast intent on burying everyone there.
“What a vicious trap! The owner of this secret realm is certainly not from the righteous path, damn it!”
“Everyone, save yourselves!”
“Ahhh!!!”
Occasionally, anguished screams echoed. These deadly traps were obviously set by someone with malicious intent. The magma also contained terrifying fire energy, which rapidly corroded spiritual power, making this place a true deathtrap!
Seeing this scene, the happiest person was, of course, Ling Tian.
“A bunch of scum, now you know how terrifying it is? Heh, fortunately, I have the Nine Yang Divine Technique to protect me.”
Ling Tian smirked. “You can slowly suffer in there; I’ll go get the treasure first.”
………
Within the magma, the cultivators desperately tried to escape. But this magma beast, set by a powerful predecessor, was not something they could easily fend off.
“Help!”
“Damn it, why is this fire suddenly so strong?”
“Damn it, I can’t hold on much longer…”
“I don’t want to die!”
In Lin Qi’an’s group, Su Xuení was using her icy power to barely fend off the heat. Her face was pale, sweat dripping.
“Crown Prince, I can’t hold on any longer…” Zi Lianyou, who had never faced such a desperate situation, was pale and trembling. Perhaps the next moment, she would turn to ash.
During this time, Lin Qi’an was not idle. He was activating the “Yang Flame Technique”.
“Break!” With a point of his finger, an aura surged skyward. With a thunderous roar, the fire beast formed from the magma exploded, turning into a rain of magma that fell back to the ground.
Thanks to this, the cultivators managed to save their lives. The survivors fell to the ground, panting. Looking at the tall white figure, they were filled with gratitude, bowing in respect.
“Thank you, Crown Prince, for saving our lives. My Feiyan Sect will never forget this!”
“Thank you, Crown Prince, for saving our lives!”
“Thank you, Crown Prince!”
“If it weren’t for the Crown Prince, we would have perished in this hellhole!”
The survivors were immensely grateful to Lin Qi’an, almost wanting to kneel and bow.
Su Xuení calmed her heaving chest, her beautiful eyes full of admiration for Lin Qi’an. Such a handsome and noble man, with an exalted status, always protecting her in times of crisis. How could she not be smitten?
“Thank you, Crown Prince…” Zi Lianyou, her head slightly lowered, her heart racing. Being with the Crown Prince gave her such a sense of security! It felt like he could shield her from any storm.
She envied her sister. In the future, she would always be with the Crown Prince, while Zi Lianyou had to part ways with him once they leave this place…
“It’s a pity we didn’t find any treasures and almost lost our lives!”
“Indeed! I think this secret realm was certainly left by someone not from the righteous path.”
“I agree; I’ve never heard of such vicious traps before!”
“Let’s go; I don’t want to risk my life for nothing.”
“We’ll visit again later to thank the Crown Prince properly for saving us!”
The crowd began to leave. Only Lin Qi’an knew that the real treasure was hidden beneath the magma. His treasure-seeking mouse had already gone in.
“Let’s go too.”
“Where does the Crown Prince want to go?”
“Just to wander around.” Lin Qi’an strolled ahead leisurely, with two stunning women following behind.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the treasure-seeking mouse to endure countless hardships and bring out the treasure. Then, he would reap the benefits.
