Chapter 476: The Golden Silkworm Seizes the Treasure
Han Li did not act immediately. Instead, he carefully released his spiritual awareness to search the surroundings. After confirming that the supreme patriarch of dark yin and the other old monsters were truly not monitoring him, he no longer hesitated and extended a finger. A flash of azure light appeared on it, and a several-inch-long sword radiance flickered uncertainly at his fingertip.
Calmly, Han Li used the sword radiance to carve a fist-sized circle on the bluestone, then waved his hand and the sword radiance vanished.
With his other hand, he quickly tapped the circle. Instantly, a hole appeared on the bluestone.
Knowing he didn’t have much time, Han Li didn’t hesitate and reached his hand inside.
The space inside was small. After groping around roughly, something came into his hand.
Han Li’s expression shifted.
The object was slender, round, and soft, almost like a stick.
But when he withdrew his arm from within the bluestone, he finally understood—it was an old, yellowed scroll.
Han Li was somewhat surprised and was about to unroll it when his expression suddenly changed.
Quickly, he stuffed the scroll into his bosom, and with a flash of his figure, he pressed against the bluestone wall, covering the revealed hole tightly, pretending to be resting.
Just as Han Li finished this, the gloomy voice of the supreme patriarch of dark yin sounded in his ear.
“Han Li, come back quickly. The others and I are going in.”
Hearing this, Han Li showed a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Weren’t they supposed to rest for a while? Why the sudden change of mind? Could it be that the three old demons sensed something amiss?
Thinking this, as soon as the supreme patriarch’s spiritual awareness disappeared nearby, Han Li immediately turned and resealed the hole, restoring it to its original state. Then, he nonchalantly walked toward the high platform.
When he arrived, the old demons stood solemnly in front of the steps, gazing up at the platform. Behind them, Wu Chou and Mysterious Bone mirrored the same posture.
Han Li looked up with some surprise, his expression slightly changing.
On the platform, a dazzling blue light flickered incessantly. Amid the flickering, faint streaks of golden light reflected out.
The area around the stone platform had thickened by several inches in just a short while. Only because of the white light shield separating it did Han Li not sense anything unusual.
Noticing Han Li’s arrival, the supreme patriarch of dark yin nodded at him and then turned to Barbarian Huzi.
“Brother Man, the young disciple has arrived. Let’s go up. I didn’t expect Wan Tianming’s Golden Silkworm to actually be able to shake the Void Heaven Cauldron. Though I don’t understand why, it’s better to go and take a look.”
Barbarian Huzi said nothing but leapt upward, signaling his response with action.
The supreme patriarch and the old man in Confucian robes followed closely up the steps.
With a loud “boom,”
Barbarian Huzi reached the light shield at the stairs and without a word, smashed his fist wrapped in demonic technique power forcefully against it.
The shield immediately cracked, opening a huge fissure several dozen yards long. Barbarian Huzi tilted his head back and entered.
The supreme patriarch and the old man in Confucian robes quickly flanked Han Li, wrapping around him and forcing him forward without a word.
Mysterious Bone and Wu Chou entered the shield last.
So cold!
Although Han Li had prepared mentally outside the light shield, once inside, he was chilled to the bone, shivering uncontrollably. Hastily, he released his protective treasure light, which greatly reduced the cold.
Barbarian Huzi, completely ignoring the others, strode directly toward the center where the blue light was most intense.
The old man and the supreme patriarch exchanged a glance and could only smile bitterly as they hurried after him.
Even so, the supreme patriarch did not forget to glance back at Han Li with meaningful eyes, urging him to keep up.
