Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!
The frantic sound of lake water pouring backward jolted everyone out of their closed-eyed state. They instinctively opened their eyes and looked over, only to see a massive black hole on the lake's surface gradually shrinking as the surrounding water continuously rushed into it.
In midair, two figures faced each other from afar, as if nothing at all had changed.
"Did they fight to a draw? How is that possible? Big Brother is obviously the strongest."
Zi Yan pouted in dissatisfaction and complained.
"Ahem... Xiao Yan, you won."
Zi Yan's complaint seemed to wake the two people standing far apart. Jin Zhan's body trembled, and then he plunged headfirst toward the lake. He had lost—and lost miserably.
"Jin Zhan!"
Huo Wu's expression changed at the sight, and he immediately swept over and caught Jin Zhan in his arms.
The lake water contained the will of that fallen ancient Multi-Treasure Beast. Once one was tainted by it, things would become extremely troublesome, not to mention that Jin Zhan was currently in a severely wounded state.
"Brother Xiao Yan, farewell!"
Huo Wu took the completely unconscious Jin Zhan, then hurriedly left with the members of the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf and Golden Nine-Headed Lion Clan.
"What a bunch of fools. They don't have the strength, yet they still want to seize treasure."
Zhu Hua looked at the backs of the departing group, a trace of contempt appearing on his handsome face. He considered himself a prodigy of the True Dragon Clan, and his cultivation was second only to Zi Yan's. Naturally, he was also capable of standing against Huo Wu and Jin Zhan.
"Don't mind those weaklings. Next is our harvest time. Come on, let's go down."
Xiao Yan shook his head without the slightest concern and led everyone down.
