Chapter 380 A Mysterious Tomb

As the male werewolf started his offense on Allen and Lin Xue, the female werewolf growled at Alina and charged forward.

Her claws opened up midway and she raised her right hand upon reaching her target that didn't move from the spot.

"Die."

The female werewolf motioned her arm to shred Alina into pieces with her powerful claws.

However, her claws didn't strike the target. Instead, they passed through her. Is it an afterimage?

The female werewolf momentarily thought that it is a clone but then the so-called afterimage she passed through was still there and it moved.

"Crescent slash"

Alina swung down the scythe of Doom, releasing an enormous amount of dark energy in the form of a crescent moon.

Because there was no cast time, the skill was unleashed instantly and the werewolf didn't have time to dodge.

As a result, she was struck by the attack. And surprisingly, it didn't just simply hurt her. It cleanly sliced her into two, ending her life in an instant. The blood splurted from her body as each half fell on either side of the ground.

"No…" The male werewolf suddenly stopped his assault and let out a scream. He transformed into a large white-furred wolf and then turned around, rushing toward Alina with full of hatred in its eyes.

Alina shifted her attention to the incoming wolf. She stared at it coldly and raised her left arm, "Twilight shackles."

Three chains of protos energy were shot out of her palm and captured the wolf. As the chains were suppressing its movements, she spoke, "Allen, do it."

Allen put away the platinum-grade sword gifted by Lin Xue a while ago and summoned the divine sword of light.

He charged at the wolf and took a giant leap. While he was coming down, he swung the sword with all of his strength. The wolf's head was separated from its body and became a corpse.

Lin Xue stood there in a daze, "It was over, just like that?"

For a moment, she couldn't believe her eyes that two powerful werewolves of the white wolf tribe died just like that in the hands of this pair of siblings.

Of course, this didn't scare her. Instead, it only motivated her further. Clenching her fist, she mumbled, "I will have to train harder to catch up to them."

After storing their corpses, Alina started discussing this event with the other two.

Why did the werewolves pursue them? They were intelligent species and wouldn't blindly attack without any reason.

"Is it because we killed the pack of wolves?" Allen voiced his thoughts.

To which, Lin Xue shook her head in response, "unlikely. Werewolves wouldn't hold any kinship for normal wolves. It is already suspicious that two werewolves are together in the first place. They must be partners considering how the male one reacted earlier."

Alina thought for a bit and said, "Then, either we have unknowingly killed their pup or they must not want us to find something."

"Find something?" Lin Xue furrowed her brows. "You mean that they might be guarding some treasure?"

Alina didn't say yes or no but instead, scanned the surroundings. Roughly about twenty seconds later, she abruptly turned her head to look in the direction of the east and walked at a brisk pace. "Come…"

The other two followed her, wondering what it might be. Allen was also scanning his surroundings but he found nothing unusual.

After walking like two hundred meters in the direction where they were originally going earlier before they were attacked by the werewolves, the three of them reached a large banyan tree with a huge hole in the trunk.

Alina jumped into the hole instead of stepping inside. Allen commented, "It appeared that there was some sort of path that is leading to underground."

"Is that so?" Lin Xue nodded in understanding and activated her lightning energy armor. With the sparks of lightning dancing on her body, Lin Xue also jumped into the hole. Allen followed the suit.

Both of them fell for about fifty feet before reaching the ground surface. Then, they saw Alina walking toward something that is brightly glowing in purple. They followed her.

By the time they reached a tomb glowing in purple, they found Alina staring at the words written on top of the slab. They were written in some kind of strange script.

"Unable to decipher…" She mumbled in the end and turned to Lin Xue. "Do you know what language is this?"

Lin Xue took a good look at the writings on the stone slab and said, "probably the ancient orlon. I'm not sure."

"Let's open it and see what treasure this one holds." Alina reached out to the stone slab to move it.

Allen caught his arm quickly and said, "Whatever this object is holding, the Yu sword appears to hate it. Maybe, it is better to wait until Big Bro comes home. It looked ominous."

"We can't wait until then for we don't know when Big Brother will return. Maybe, it is because it is a powerful divine grade item of the dark attribute," replied Alina. What she didn't reveal the either of them is the fact that the doom's scythe in her mindscape is trembling in excitement as they got closer to this tomb. If not for the fact that the scythe is not bound to her consciousness, she was sure that it will come to the real world on its own.

As the both of them looked at Lin Xue for her opinion, she awkwardly smiled as she said, "I think we should open it." She wants to side with Allen but not wanting to displease her future-sis-in-law (in Lin Xue's mind), she decides to listen to Alina.

"Good." Alina nodded with a smile and proceeded to move the stone slab aside. It was opened with ease and they saw a skeleton lying there with a glowing ring on his index finger.

"So, this is the source of the purple glow…" commented Lin Xue as she stared at the ring.

Alina then reached out to the ring and removed it. Holding it on her palm, she let out a smile, "Big Brother will be very happy when he receives this."

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "I guess…" Allen agreed with her while feeling uncomfortable.

"I wonder what grade it is. I cannot scan it," commented Alina as she carefully observed the ring with a glowing purple gem embedded in it.

"Uhh… guys… we have a situation…" Lin Xue tugged Allen's shirt and pointed her finger at the tomb. As Allen and Alina looked in that direction, they saw the skeleton slowly regaining its skin.

As Alina and the other two quickly distanced themselves from the tomb but didn't leave their sight away from it, a naked man with waist-length white hair slowly rose from the tomb and stepped out of it.

For a few seconds, he observed his body and stretched his limbs. Then, a creepy smile appeared on his face as he shifted his attention to the three of them, "I guess I should you kids for releasing me from that curse. I shall reward the three of you by adding to… Hmm… you two lack the souls. You are puppets. Who is that genius that created such high-quality puppets like you?"

The expressions of Allen and Alina were changed. On the other hand, Lin Xue went into shock, "Huh? What did he just say?"
