“Then, I’m coming in!”Kate lifted the tent curtain and walked inside, holding an iron plate with a roasted rabbit on it. The rabbit was crispy on the outside and tender inside, emitting a delicious aroma.“They caught these wild rabbits in Mount Albus. They taste delicious. You should try some!”“Thank you, Kate.”Andrius did not refuse and enjoyed the food with the Black Hawk.The map was still spread out on the ground, and the two continued to study and discuss it while eating.“How is it?” Kate glanced at the map and asked casually, “Have you made any progress?”Andrius chewed the delicious rabbit meat and mumbled, “The map shows that the Klein family’s treasure is in the core area of Mount Albus, which is where we are right now. However, we still can’t find the entrance.”Kate looked at the map curiously. The dense lines on the map made her feel a little overwhelmed.However, she patiently continued to examine it.After a while, she suddenly pointed to a peculiar-looking
After doing this, he poked his head out and realized that no one had noticed him. He quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared from sight.Andrius and the others were completely unaware of this.Everyone was nervously facing off with the wolf pack.Swoosh...Suddenly, a massive Snow Mountain Wolf pounced.The wolf was nearly two meters long and comparable to a tiger. In the blink of an eye, it cast a shadow that covered the distant firelight, shrouding the area in darkness.The chilling wind carried the scent of blood.“Die, beast!”At the front, Tyrell snorted coldly and unleashed a punch.Bam!The next moment, his iron fist struck the wolf’s head.“Awoo...”The Snow Mountain Wolf let out a piercing and miserable howl, flying backward to the ground. Tyrell’s punch shattered more than half of the wolf’s head, causing blood to gush out. It struggled for a moment before it stopped breathing.Such strength...He truly deserved to be the head of one of the ancient mart
As the Medicine Sect Master, he possessed an extreme sensitivity to various scents, which allowed him to notice this detail.“That’s right...” The Black Hawk slapped his forehead and said in realization, “Ancient maps often underwent changes by using methods such as soaking them in water, holding them over a fire, or dripping blood on them. How could I have missed that?”Norvin said hopefully, “Maybe after blood has been added to the map, it is the real treasure map!”“That makes sense!”“Quick, let’s try adding more blood to see what happens.”The group chattered and came up with a plan.“Okay, I’ll go first.”The Black Hawk cut his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the map.Plop.A small blood splatter appeared.One, three, ten seconds passed.Time slowly passed.The blood had begun to coagulate, but there was no change in the map.The others exchanged glances but did not give up.“Let me try.”Norvin also added a drop of his blood and added it to the map.The
Bam!Andrius did not back down and confronted Norvin with a palm strike as well.“Pfft...”Norvin’s strength was overwhelming. It was far beyond what Andrius, a pseudo-Martial King, could compare with. With just one strike, Andrius was sent flying and coughing up blood.All this happened in the blink of an eye.Even Kate could not react in time to stop it. Andrius had already fallen to the ground.“Wolf King!”Seeing Norvin preparing for another strike, the Black Hawk’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately stood in front of Andrius.“Stop!”Wade finally reacted at that moment. He blocked Norvin’s path and said coldly, “Don’t go too far, Norvin.”“Heh...”Norvin’s mouth curled down, radiating a chilling intent, and he lunged forward again.Seeing his persistence, Wade stopped retreating and met the attack with a palm as well.Rumble...The moment the two palms collided, a strong shockwave scattered in all directions, almost lifting the tent. The furnishings
Everyone turned to look and were shocked.While the Swallows and the Medicine Sect were in a standoff, Andrius had brought the map to a nearby torch.“If you dare to mess around...” Andrius had a smile on his face, appearing very relaxed. “Then, I’ll just set the map on fire. I’m already a dead man, so what do I have to fear?”As he spoke, he moved the map toward the torch.Thick black smoke billowed up, and the map was partially charred in an instant.“No!”“Andrius, stop!”“Don’t! The map must not be destroyed—”Damian, Ronald, and Tyrell saw this and were instantly frightened. They quickly shouted at him to stop him.Norvin’s expression also suddenly changed.Killing Andrius would mean nothing to the Swallows. There would be no impact.However, destroying the treasure map would ruin their ambitions and efforts over many years, turning them all to ashes!Tyrell was the first to step forward, leading the members of the Anders to stand with the Medicine Sect. He frowned and
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Andrius said calmly, “I won’t seek death on my own. As long as you transfer your inner energy to Kate, and she uses acupuncture to pass it on to me, everything will be fine.”Kate was the only person Andrius trusted.Moreover, they had experienced it together, Kate understood the intricacies and tasted the benefits, so she was naturally willing to help.The four family heads exchanged glances, feeling that the matter was not so simple. However, they could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.“In that case, let’s start.” Norvin was silent for a moment before agreeing to Andrius’ request. “Bring the map over, Andrius.”“There’s no rush.” Andrius smiled and said leisurely, “I still don’t really trust you four, so make an oath.”A cold glint flashed in Norvin’s expression.However, he did as Andrius requested. Making an oath was not a big deal.“I, Norvin Swallow, the head of the Swallow family, swear that I will not harm Andrius Moonshade to o
Of course, it was just an impulse.He quickly suppressed the thought. After all, he had sworn an oath. He had not reached the point where he could ignore such vows.“Phew...”After a moment, Andrius absorbed most of the inner energy and exhaled a long breath, saying, “That’s enough for now.”Wade removed his hand from Kate’s back, and Kate began to recover.Andrius bled for the second time.The process continued in cycles.After several rounds, the map had transformed completely, revealing a new route, a new core location, and new geographical features.Andrius’ complexion fluctuated from pale to rosy several times. His meridians had mostly been repaired, with just one final connection missing.Andrius estimated that he would fully recover with one final step.Apart from this, Kate was the one who benefited the most after Andrius.The powerful inner energy of the four family heads and her grandfather, along with Andrius’ incredible acupuncture technique, had actually helped
Although it was true that martial realm experts were divided into five major stages—Martial Lord, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial God, and Martial Saint—the most powerful person that Kate knew was her grandfather.Wade had already been a late-stage Martial Emperor for many years.If Norvin had truly broken through to Martial God, he would be the most dominating presence and disrupt the current balance of power!This treasure-hunting journey would go from being ambiguous to clear: the Swallows would be in control!This was definitely not good news for the Medicine Sect and might even bring more harm than good.Kate shook her thoughts and asked seriously, “Grandpa, what stage are you in now?”Wade sighed and smiled wryly. “I’m considered to be at the peak of the Martial Emperor stage, almost reaching the realm of Martial God, but I’m not quite there yet.”Kate frowned slightly.Seeing her concerned expression, Wade added, “However, if Norvin has just entered the Martial Go
