Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 275  Stone guardian

Amidst the sizzling magma, the walls around them seemed unscathed filled with large mesmerizing murals of strange-looking creatures that seemed to come to life.

The duo carefully looked around, Bia\'s round eyes narrowed at the many tiny platforms floating above the magma. Those scattered platforms looked like a string of stairs leading up to an unknown place.

Kyle eyed the magma and poked Bia.

"Go up and check where these stairs are going."

Bia swatted his finger away with a glare and opened her wings to fly. She passed through the gaps present between the floating platforms with agility. After flying for ten seconds, she felt a tingling sensation around her body, and under Kyle\'s gaze, her body vanished.

Kyle hastily spoke in his mind.

\'Are you alright?\'

-\'I am fine and I found the exit but... there are a lot of doors. You need to come up.\'

While he was conversing with Bia, the creatures in the mural created on the walls moved, albeit very slowly. Their eyes glowed in a dark light ready to pounce at Kyle.

However, their supposed prey has something else planned because after Kyle confirmed the situation above. He hummed thoughtfully. He eyed the spot where Bia\'s body vanished and knew that should be the boundary or exit of this room.

Kyle picked a small movement in the murals from the corner of his eyes.

\'Well, it\'s interesting but I don\'t have plans to have another bloody fight so soon.\'

In the next second, he used the teleportation skill to directly arrive at the floating platform that was nearest to the place where Bia disappeared.

The moment Kyle\'s feet touched the platform it crumbled into dust but before he could fall, he used the teleportation skill again, directly arriving beside Bia.

After he passed the boundary, his feet submerged in a wet sensation. Kyle looked below, he was standing inside a pool of cool water.

His ears twitched when he heard a few loud growl sounds coming from beneath the water. He smirked.

If someone else managed to arrive at this place, they would probably struggle a lot under the onslaught of those weird creatures and the bubbling magma but he just passed the place within half a minute.

Bia\'s eyelids couldn\'t help but twitch at the silver-haired boy. His lips were curved upward in a beautiful arc but for some reason, she wanted to wipe that smug smile from his face.

-\'Stop grinning. We are still in the middle of a dangerous place.\'

Kyle raised his brow with an \'Oh\' because he could feel the sourness in Bia\'s voice. He controlled the urge to laugh and gazed around himself.

Just like Bia said, a row of plain doors reflected in his vision.

After thinking for a few seconds, Kyle entered the first door but found nothing. The room behind the door was empty devoid of anything. That\'s why they stepped out of the room again.

Bia sat down on Kyle\'s head as he eyed the doors with a frown.

"Let\'s enter the last one this time."

Bia agreed without a second thought. Well, it\'s not like she could compare with Kyle in terms of luck so it was better to follow his lead in this type of situation.

After they entered the last door, they found another path that led them to another room filled with various traps. However, they passed it easily due to their teamwork. After a few more twists and turns in a strange corridor that was filled with various doors and rooms, they arrived in front of a white door.

Kyle had a blank look on his face as he pushed the door open roughly. On his way, he counted every injury he suffered during his fights with the monsters. He even counted each deadly trap that was laid on his path. Now, he was damn sure if he didn\'t get the treasures at the end, he would blast this place!

As if sensing Kyle\'s threatening thoughts, the mechanical voice that had been quiet for as long as he remembered, sounded again.

"Congratulations participants for passing the tests of the \'last\' treasure land alive."

"Please step in the room because the guardian has been waiting for your arrival."

Kyle ignored the voice and staggered into the room but he stopped between the doorway. He squinted his eyes to look around.

The room was the biggest he had seen up till now. It was illuminated brightly with many bright orbs floating around, and a huge stone statue holding a bow and spear was standing in the middle of the room.

He craned his neck to look behind the statue and saw the treasures!

A large old wooden table was placed behind the statue. The round spots on the table were occupied by a few glass vials. In each vial, a tiny droplet of golden liquid was floating.

Kyle hurriedly counted the vials and smirked in his mind. He could see that a few of the spots on the table were empty meant someone else took the remaining vials before him. However, there were still nine vials left!

He didn\'t move from his place as he ranked his eyes around the room. In an instant, he caught sight of a bright portal at the end of the room.

While he was thinking, the mechanical voice sounded again.

"All the participants should defeat the stone guardian and the winners can take one vial of divine essence each."

Kyle chuckled with crescent eyes.

"Are you joking? Why should I take one when I can take all?"

Bia eyed the vials, for some reason the golden drop of liquid within them looked very tempting.

-\'If the voice is saying we can only take one doesn\'t that mean there is a trap around the table? You can clearly see some of the spots on the table are empty. I don\'t think no one tried to take all the vials before.\'

Kyle didn\'t reply and just slumped down in the middle of the door with a tiny smile.

-\'What are you doing?\'

Bia left his head and arrived on his lap with a confused expression.

"Just recovering my mana."
