Luo Haoqun felt no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, he admired Lin Feng even more.
During this trip to the ruins, everyone was given a map with the coordinates of some of the opportunities within. Lin Feng explained that this map was discovered by the clan elders at great personal risk, and told them to keep it safe so they wouldn't be unable to find the exit of the ruins later.
Luo Haoqun glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh to Luo Ning, "It's incredibly detailed."
Luo Ning didn't answer, but instead gritted her teeth inwardly.
What a load of rubbish! The coordinates marked on their map are actually the location of several powerful spirit beasts! It's full of traps!
Aside from the correct entrance and exit points, the entire site is a trap!
Following this map will indeed bring some benefits, but it also carries enormous risks, and the benefits are completely disproportionate to the risks!
What an idiot! He got ripped off and still helped the swindler count the money! What a money-loser!
With a cold face, Luo Ning tugged at the sleeve of a member of the Lin clan beside him and asked, "Brother, may I see the map in your hand?"
"Sure, but what do you want to do?"
The man had an unfriendly expression, but he still presented the map in his hand to Luo Ning.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be exactly the same as the map in his hand.
What happened?
Luo Ning was startled. Could it be that Lin Feng was even planning to harm his own people?
"My friend, you don't distrust His Highness the Crown Prince, do you? Do you doubt that His Highness would give you a fake map?"
The man's expression grew even colder.
Seeing this, Luo Haoqun quickly stepped forward to explain for Luo Ning: "That's not the case. My younger brother is just a bit cautious by nature and has no ill intentions. I hope you will forgive him!"
"Hmph! Know your place! His Highness treats you kindly because of his gentle nature, but if you take advantage of this, we will show you what the Lin family is capable of!"
Luo Haoqun nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The Lin clansman strode away, avoiding the gazes of Luo Haoqun and the other man, and came to Lin Xuan, smiling as he said, "Young Master Lin Xuan, it's all taken care of."
"Well done. Here, this is the real map of the ruins. Don't lose it."
Lin Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will report your merits to His Highness truthfully."
"Thank you, Young Master Lin Xuan!"
The man left with a fawning smile on his face, beaming with joy.
The black spirit boat landed, and countless members of the Lin clan poured into it, including Luo Haoqun and Luo Ning.
"rise!"
Lin Mo, who was in the lead, activated his demonic energy, and the spirit boat took off, speeding towards the Black Vortex Forest.
Before long, the spirit boat arrived above the secluded forest. Lin Mo said in a deep voice, "According to the exploration by our clan elders, there is little danger in this ruin. However, the ruin is only open for a limited time of ten days. There are only five days left. You should hurry up and search for treasures. Once the time is up and the entrance and exit are closed, you may never be able to get out again."
"Do you understand everything?"
"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Mo!"
"What are you waiting for? Go now!"
"Hmph, why should we share the benefits of such a fine ancient site with foreigners?"
"Luo Haoqun is at the Divine Tribulation Realm. If you don't hurry, he might snatch all the good stuff away!"
"Little brother, let's go too!"
Luo Haoqun grabbed Luo Ning and landed directly in the center of the Black Vortex Forest.
In an instant, black thorns covered the ground, and darkness enveloped them; they were now standing in the ruins.
A putrid smell permeated the air.
Luo Haoqun took out a map, examined it carefully, pointed to a small red dot that was closest to them, and said, "Let's go here."
Luo Ning glanced at him and almost died of anger!
“Brother, I don’t think we should trust Lin Feng. Think about it, the Lin family and the Luo family have a long history of grudges. Besides, Father previously tried to overthrow the Lin family’s rule over the Northern Divine Region. Why would he be so kind as to give us cultivation resources and lead us to explore the ruins? There must be something fishy going on! I think we should just throw away this map and rely on our own luck to explore.”
Luo Haoqun glanced at him.
Mo Yuan fanned the flames in his mind.
"Hehehe... Listen to this, it seems your cultivation has improved too quickly lately, making your younger brother feel threatened. The reason he doesn't let you follow the map is because he's worried that after you obtain rare treasures, your strength will reach an even higher level!"
"What a despicable person! What a despicable person!"
Luo Haoqun's expression remained unchanged, but he cursed inwardly.
“Young man, I think you’re overthinking it. After spending the last two weeks together, I believe His Highness is a good person.”
"Besides, without the map, how are we supposed to determine our location? If the time comes and we can't find the exit, won't we be trapped here and die?"
"You're still too young. Just come with me."
Luo Ning was seething with hatred, but dared not actually separate from him. Don't listen to Lin Mo's claim that there wasn't much danger inside the ruins. In reality, there were spirit beasts lurking everywhere. Unless you traveled with someone in your Overlord Realm, you would at most become food for the spirit beasts.
As a member of the Luo clan, who could he associate with? And who could he trust?
Fine! After experiencing a few more dangers, he'll realize this map is fake!
...
"laugh!"
A flash of silver light streaked past. Gazing at the spurting blood, Luo Haoqun wiped the sweat from his brow and said in a deep voice, "There are far too many of these Drought Poison Crocodiles. The leader, the Drought Poison Crocodile King, is even more powerful than me. It's truly terrifying!"
"It seems that Elder Lin's information was inaccurate."
However, this was unavoidable; such situations were common when exploring ruins, and Luo Haoqun had no doubts.
Luo Ning hid behind him and sneered.
...
"hiss--"
Looking at the gruesome wounds on his arm, Luo Haoqun exclaimed in surprise, "This three-headed python actually possesses the cultivation of the Divine Tribulation Realm! Moreover, it is cunning and even sets traps to scheme against us!"
"But it's alright."
He looked at the thousand-year-old snow lotus on the ground and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not a complete loss. This thousand-year-old snow lotus can be used as medicine outside, and it's priceless!"
Luo Ning's expression changed, and he began to realize that something was wrong.
...
"It's actually a golden iron armor! See, I told you His Highness wasn't lying to us, this is a real treasure!"
Luo Haoqun was covered in wounds, but his face was filled with barely suppressed joy.
Luo Ning's face had darkened to the extreme.
That damned bastard!
He cursed wildly in his mind.
If I remember correctly, there should have been a Soul-Returning and Bone-Melting Pill near that three-headed python, which was much more expensive than that thousand-year-old snow lotus!
This isn't a suit of golden iron armor, but rather a set of divine iron golden armor buried underground!
Those bastards Lin Feng arranged must have secretly taken away the real good stuff while Luo Haoqun was fighting with these spirit beasts, and replaced it with trash that looked priceless but was actually completely useless!
What an idiot!
Luo Ning was so angry that his eyes turned black.
That's incredibly stupid!
