"You could say that at the time, this turbulence of time and space basically didn’t pose much of a barrier to us. In just the span of a single day, we had already gone deep inside and finally reached the entrance to the treasure."
But when he got to this point, Jin Shanquan could no longer go on. The teacup in his hands rattled nonstop as his whole body trembled.
And just as he was once again teetering on the edge of collapse, a hand gently pressed down on his shoulder.
A force filled with authority yet not domineering surged into Jin Shanquan’s body, quickly stabilizing his boiling blood and qi.
Jin Shanquan lifted his head and happened to meet Xue An’s calm gaze.
"Feeling better?"
Jin Shanquan nodded.
"Since you’re better, then keep going."
Jin Shanquan took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "At the start, everything went smoothly. We very quickly broke through the Defense Formation at the treasure’s entrance and successfully entered inside!"
"What greeted us was a vast space. That wasn’t surprising, because treasures of this level usually come with folded space."
"We weren’t in a hurry. We advanced step by step, and soon ran into Guardian Spirits attacking us!"
"These Guardian Spirits usually remain in a dormant state. Once someone invades, they awaken in an instant and slaughter all intruders."
"Admittedly, these Guardian Spirits were quite powerful, but they couldn’t stump us, who had prepared thoroughly beforehand. So with just a bit more effort, we wiped them all out!"
"Isn’t that perfectly normal?" Shu Jingchu asked.
Jin Shanquan gave a bitter smile. "Yes, up to that point everything was still perfectly normal. Even someone as cautious as me thought this mission was in the bag, that nothing else could possibly go wrong."
"After all, with the Guardian Spirits gone, this treasure had already flung its doors wide open to us!"
"But right when we were chatting and joking, discussing how we’d celebrate properly once we got out, something strange happened."
"It was as if we’d stepped through an invisible barrier. The scenery before our eyes shifted ever so slightly, and after carefully checking, we realized that in that brief instant, we had been sent right back to the entrance!"
"That doesn’t sound like much! Just some tricks of time and space, right?" Shu Jingchu said.
"That’s what we thought at first as well, so we weren’t scared at all—in fact, our interest was piqued. Based on past experience, once the Guardian Spirits are destroyed, the treasure shouldn’t have any means of defense left!"
"This abnormality actually got us excited. We felt this mission was turning out to be rather interesting, so we once again walked forward, chatting and laughing. But who would have thought that we hadn’t gone far before another large group of Guardian Spirits showed up ahead!"
"Was it a different wave of Guardian Spirits?" Shu Jingchu asked.
"That’s what we figured at the time. So we didn’t waste words and simply cut them down cleanly again. But after we walked on for a while, the same thing happened again!"
"We were sent back to the starting point. This time, none of us could laugh anymore, because even the brother on our team most skilled in creating Formations couldn’t detect the slightest fluctuation of any Formation at all!"
"The feeling was like watching a perfectly spliced, seamless segment of footage! One second we were far inside, the next second we were back at the entrance!"
