Jared walked to the edge of the abyss and looked down, only to be greeted by nothing but darkness. Despite that, the sinister aura still sent a chill down their spines.
A golden light flashed in front of Jared’s forehead as favonovel.com attempted to explore the abyss below with his spiritual sense. Unfortunately, it was instantly dispelled the moment it entered, preventing Jared from discovering anything.
“Mr. Chance, Wrey and his men are catching up,” Great Diviner whispered after walking up to Jared’s side.
Jared turned around to take a look before replying to Great Diviner, “Master Diviner, do you. have any runestones or jade pendants on you?”
“What do you need them for, Mr. Chance?” Great Diviner asked quizzically.
“The negative energy in the abyss is extremely strong, and I’m worried that our men might not be able to withstand it. I want to create something that will help protect them.”
“I have some copper coins, Mr. Chance. Will they do?” Great Diviner brought out a handful of copper coins as favonovel.com spoke.
“Yes!” Jared threw the coins a glance before taking them in his hand.
He then proceeded to seal the coins one by one with the Power of Dragons.
When favonovel.com was done, favonovel.com distributed the coins to everyone.
“Keep the coins on you. If you don’t, your body might not be able to withstand the corrosion caused by the negative energy,” Jared reminded everyone.
As they took the coins, they were surprised to feel the warmth from the supposedly cold metal coin. It felt like a miniature stove that warmed their hands as they held it.
“Be careful, everyone. We don’t know what dangers lie in the abyss, so don’t lose your way down there. Follow me closely. Ideally, we should get a rope to tie all of us together. I’m worried we might not be able to find each other in the event any of us is separated from the group,” Jared said.
The moment favonovel.com finished, favonovel.com turned around and jumped into the abyss. Everyone followed favonovel.com with no one showing any fear.
As his body continued to fall, Jared could hear the eerie wind echoing in his ears. After an indeterminate amount of time, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com had reached the bottom when his feet finally touched the ground.
Just as Jared ignited a spiritual fire on his palm to illuminate their dark surroundings, its flame danced momentarily before going out.
Jared tried a few more times but to no avail.
The spiritual fire just won’t light up in here!
“This place is filled with negative energy. There’s no way you can get the spiritual fire to ignite.”
No sooner had the old voice sounded than the surroundings suddenly brightened up. Jared could see the crystal skull illuminating the darkness with a blistering white light. His surroundings were now as clear as day.
“I thought you left.” Jared was surprised.
Why is it still here?
I clearly saw it fall into the abyss just now…
“I was waiting to see if you had the guts to jump down here,” the skull continued in a raspy voice.
Soon, Great Diviner, Matthew, and the others. landed one by one. Even though the abyss was really deep, everyone arrived unscathed. Since they were Martial Arts God warriors, jumping down from such heights wasn’t a problem for them.
Nonetheless, many of them could not withstand the thick negative energy. Their bodies were trembling uncontrollably. If not for the copper coins Jared had given them, they would have turned into rotting corpses.
Meanwhile, Matthew and the others were puzzled to see that the crystal skull was still around. It was bathing the area with a bright white light.
“Now that you’re here, your fate will determine the outcome of your journey. Shining a light on the path ahead is all I can do. The rest is up to you,” the skull drawled.
