Chapter 100 - Separation III

Zhao Li Xin scrutinizes the ring, it's a gold ring with a red ruby on it nothing special except being pretty just like the owner.

When he see-through inside the ring there's a thin web that restricted his movement, Zhao Li Xin smirk then suddenly the ring broken into pieces then one by one everything inside the ring appears on the ground neatly, He just broke the restriction spatial ring like it was nothing, everyone gasped even more only high-level Armament master who could do such a thing, is he an Armament master too, the level of fear just increasing again.

On the ground there's a weapon, a box of jewelry, a few cases filled with gold and silver, more treasure lay down on the ground, everyone watching with green eyes, how rich Heavenly jade pavilion if a young miss could have so many treasures on her ring who could have imagined how much treasure the sect master has.

Zhao Li Xin didn't care the slightest with the mountain treasury in front of him, his eyes stop at the small wooden box. He steps on the expensive painting and delicate jade without care make other people heart grieve for the valuable amounts of treasure.

Zhao Li Xin opens the box and there's a map write on animal skin, it is a map of the ancient tomb. The map describes the trap and secret passage in detail until it reaches to the forbidden area, with this he can find her faster "Let's go!" he said again.

"Milord, what about this woman" Mong Ki point with his sword to the half death Huang Ni Yang.

"Leave her for the Cimmerian wolf, for a truce offering" Zhao Li Xin keeps the map inside his spatial ring, then he takes a long stride without a glance at Huang Ni Yang.

"Yes, Milord!" Mong Ki sheathed his sword and follow his master.

Only after Zhao Li Xin figure left completely they released a long exhales, Huang Ni Yang begging with her eyes for help but who wants to help her, everything happened because of her, they lost so many friends, brother, and comrade because of her selfishness. Then they look at the mountain treasure in front of them.

"Let's share it before the Cimmerian wolf returned" one of them suggests.

"Yes, hurry, I don't mind with anything" the other also agree.

All of them rummaged over the treasure without care for Huang Ni Yang, she wants to say stop but she's too exhausted to make a voice, she can only see they took her treasure like a mountain robber. Then they hear a long howling a distance more wolf will come, they hasted their pace.

"Hurry left this place!!" one of them warned the others.

They immediately scurried away with the treasure they just had without concern with Huang Ni Yang who is trying to scream for help, she gasping to make a sound but she can only whine with quiet voice "Hel…..help….me…"

But they already left, she was alone on the ground in her owned puddle of blood, she hears something coming at her, she can hear their heavy breathing and their stomping feet, Huang Ni yang whimper in fear she wishes Zhao Li Xin just kill her, why he must torture her like this, WHY?

Suddenly everyone shocked by the loud of a scream of despair who echoed surround the cave, they can feel the hair behind their neck raised even though they expected it but it's still scary listened on their own.

Meanwhile, behind the wall Lory still tries to find a clue how to open the door, after an hour she gives up, she rests her arms on her waist, Girsha tilted his little head [ What now?]

[Well, just like my teacher said, when you got separated with your friend you must stay put until they find you]

[Aren't you five years old at that time?]

[Heyyy!!! I'm six!]

How could that make thing better, Girsha shakes his head helplessly, this Princess can be unreliable sometimes. All of a sudden the pebble on her feet move slightly, Girsha and Lory tilted their head simultaneously.

[Earthquake?] Lory muttered.

[Wait a minute…..] Girsha suspiciously looks around.

Suddenly the floor on her feet crumble [OH, CRAP!!] she takes a step back but more floor crumble around her, she jump from floor to floor while cursing at the same time, the floor keeps crumbling down like a thin ice on the lake, the cracked spread in everywhere high speed show the damaged on the floor.

[SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!] the more she cursed the faster her movement, she jumps from side to side when the floor beneath her crumble then she run faster while the cracked floor chasing her from behind, the cracked almost outrun her.

At the last moment, she leaped far ahead when the floor behind her crumbles, luckily her hand managed grasped the solid floor in front of her, and the cracked suddenly stop.

When she looks down a million iron spiked waiting for her, she sees many corpses and bones remain pierced through the iron spike.

'That's awful ways to die' she tough, then she pushes her body to the top and she crawls on the solid floor after she feels the floor no shaking she lay face down on the floor with a tired grunt.

[You okay?] Girsha pecks her head.

[I could be worst….] She groan.

[Yes, you could be minced meat down there] he relief she's okay, he kicks her head with his small but sturdy feet [Come on, we need to keep moving!]

Lory makes a loud grunt before she pushes herself to stand up, after she makes sure she's not hurt or dislocated her body beside a few scratches, she continues to walk until she reaches the end of the tunnel, a gust of cold wind suddenly blows her face she covers her eyes from dust with her hand, everything is dark around her she had no idea where she is, she found a stick then cover it with cloth and lit up using the fire crystal, she raised the torch to see clearly around her.

There's a root three hanging on the ceiling and she's surrounded by a cliff [do you see anything?] she asked Girsha who have better vision, Girsha flew down on the cliff then he circles a few time before returning to her.

[There's an entrance below" Girsha said.

Lory throw down her torch to see how far the entrance is, turns out is quite far her torch flickered for a few seconds before it dies, Lory feel tired just imagine the hard workout she would experience soon, Zhao Li Xin had pampered her like a pig she never work out anymore and this happening, what a shame…..

She knotted the rope on the big stone after she secures it she tied the rope on her waist, Girsha watching the girl from the side his mind back to the past when they venture a secret dungeon together, it was a bittersweet memory.

[Lory, is that rope alright?] Girsha suddenly asked.

[Yes, what you mean?] She prepares to climb down the wall.

[Well, you know….lately you eat too much sweet and…..] he makes gesture 'wide' with his wings.

[Don't you dare use the 'F' Word to me!!] Lory warned him sternly.

[Meh…] Girsha makes perfunctory grunt.

Carefully she climbed down, she grips the stone tightly while her leg shifted to another foothold while her other hand fingering the wall searching another stone to grip then she moves slowly.

Because the lacked practice since she comes to this world only fifteen minutes her finger already feel numb and her body sore.

She blamed herself for the lacked stamina, she makes a note to herself to start practice again if she managed to get out of here alive, she looks down and she still needs ten more minutes to reach her destination, she takes a deep breath before she continues climbed down.

A few minuted later she reaches the ledged, she needs to cross the small footbridge to reach the entrance, she whines why her life never been easy, she carefully crosses the bridge, her hands spread to balance her body.

Step by step she walks across the bridged, the wind from below keep blowing her make her staggered a few times, fortunately, she managed to balance herself again until she reached the end of the bridged.

She bends on her knee while breathing heavily [Damn, I miss flying…] she complained.

[You and me sister!] Girsha also breathes in relief when she managed to cross the bridge, it's all because the Huang sibling he hopes Zhao Li Xin will give them hell, and yes he did.
