Chapter 1268 The Cage of Bones



As Zuan stepped onto the bridge, the relentless attacks around him were gone, and he squatted down, panting heavily.

Isabella was overjoyed at the sight and ran over: "Brother Zu!"

While speaking, she took out various elixirs and stuffed them into his mouth.

Zu An chuckled. This little girl was truly kind-hearted. Although he had a powerful recovery ability, he couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, especially since these pills were indeed very useful.

He had intended to take it with his hands, but the other person couldn't wait and fed it to him directly. When his delicate fingers touched the other person's hot lips, Isabella's heart skipped a beat.

However, it wasn't appropriate to suddenly pull his hand back at this moment, so he could only suppress his embarrassment and ask, "Brother Zu, are you feeling any better now?"

"These elixirs are miraculous in themselves, not to mention your good intentions and prayers. How could I not appreciate them?" As soon as Zuan said this, he regretted it. After surviving such a close call, he inevitably spoke a bit rashly. It was all because he was used to teasing the people around him. But Isabella was like a little sister, which was really inappropriate.

Isabella's heart pounded, and she quickly withdrew her fingers: "Brother Zu, it's good that you've recovered."

At this moment, Fireworks said with a half-smile, "I'm clearly injured too, so why don't you give me any medicine?"

"I...I'm sorry." Isabella was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly found a magic pill and handed it to the other person.

Fireworks sighed: "You fed him yourself just now, but when you gave him to me, you just handed him to me. That's unfair treatment."

"Ah..." Isabella's face turned bright red, and she didn't know what to do for a moment. She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Zuan glared at Yanhua with annoyance: "Alright, stop teasing that little girl, hurry up and recover your energy?"

Fireworks' eyes sparkled: "So how long are you planning to keep holding me? I'm just a young girl, and my mind is in turmoil right now. I can't calm down and regulate my breathing at all."

Zuan: "..."

He then realized that he was still holding Yan Hua tightly in his arms. It was all because those whips, which felt like divine punishment, had filled all directions. He had been protecting her with all his might. Now that the formation had disappeared, he hadn't even realized it yet.

Now that she said it, I realized that she was indeed holding a soft, fragrant body in my arms. I couldn't believe that she was such a graceful young woman.

"I'm sorry." Zu An quickly let go of her.

Seeing this, Isabella couldn't help but chuckle. Even her brother Zu had been teased by the fireworks, so she felt a little better.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't release it, they don't mind." Fireworks' lips curled up slightly, she still remembered how desperately the other person had protected her just now.

Isabella's heart skipped a beat. Was Sister Fireworks professing her love to Brother Zu?

She looked nervously at Zu An, and seeing that he didn't react, she felt inexplicably relieved. Then she secretly blamed herself for having such thoughts.

Zuan coughed lightly: "Now that your injuries have healed, let's continue on our way."

Isabella's pills were very effective; all the deep wounds on her body that exposed bone had healed, and even the wounds to her soul had been healed. Her spiritual power was even more abundant than before.

The two women nodded and followed him toward the other side of the river.

Stepping onto the bridge of light beneath her feet, Isabella marveled, and Fireworks couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to subdue those eight chains?"

“I have an ability to learn the corresponding abilities by touching certain objects,” Zuan replied casually, glancing warily around to avoid any sudden monsters.

"If there are such amazing abilities in the world, then wouldn't you be able to learn all the abilities in the world?" Fireworks was immediately startled.

“It’s not that simple. I have to pay a price to learn the corresponding abilities. The more powerful the ability, the more astronomical the price to pay. I simply can’t learn it. For example, that one just now, if it weren’t for the credit card Isabella gave me, I wouldn’t have been able to learn it and then undo the formation.” As he spoke, Zaun handed the black credit card to Isabella. “Luckily I have this. I almost forgot to return it to you just now.”

Isabella smiled and said, "Brother Zu, you should keep this for now. We are facing many dangers. This credit card can not only provide credit points or universal currencies from various worlds, but also the negative costs required for various skills. I believe it will be useful to you."

Fireworks' eyes widened instantly: "What's your credit card limit?"

There is no specific limit.

"???"

"Grandpa gave it to me back then. It seems to be an unlimited credit card. He said that with the wealth of the Global Chamber of Commerce, we could afford to pay back whatever it took." Isabella, being pure of heart, didn't boast about anything and simply repeated her grandfather's original words.

Fireworks couldn't help but sigh, "It's so enviable! This is how a rich and beautiful woman subtly flaunts her wealth."

Although both are young ladies from famous places in the myriad worlds, their wealth is far inferior to that of the Universal Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the Dreamland has been in trouble and is no longer what it used to be.

"I wasn't bragging," Isabella said a little embarrassed. "Brother Zu, you saved me. Actually, this credit card should have been given to you, but Grandpa bound it to my soul back then, so it can't be given to anyone else. But as long as I'm by your side, you can use it without any problem."

Zuan smiled slightly: "I'm already very satisfied with being able to use it temporarily. Thank you."

Many of his skills require rage points, and now that his rage points are all depleted, this credit card is a godsend.

Such a credit card would probably be one of the most powerful magical artifacts in any universe. Isabella is too young and not strong enough to protect such a treasure, so her grandfather made this arrangement for her safety.

Seeing that he didn't mind at all, Isabella's face flushed, and she clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

While they were chatting, the three of them finally reached the other side and found that the terrain here was like a mountain with the top half cut off, with a flat area in the middle and bottomless ravines all around.

In the middle of the flat ground, there was a cage of white bones, inside which sat a middle-aged man. He was truly refined and handsome, with a dignified appearance, and looked somewhat like Yan Hua. At this moment, his eyes were closed, as if he were asleep.

"Father!"

When Fireworks saw him, she could no longer hold back and rushed over, calling out to him incessantly through the white bones in the cage.

The middle-aged man originally had eight chains binding his hands and feet, but perhaps because the group of people had broken the formation when they arrived, the chains on his hands have now turned into starlight and disappeared.

The middle-aged man's eyelashes fluttered, as if he were about to wake up.

Zuan approached Yan Hua and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure he's your father?"
