Chapter 2360: Chapter 2360: Luminous Pearl
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the entire underground cave shook. Dirt fell swiftly onto them, and the cave seemed about to collapse. The two brothers were scared to death, wanting to dodge, but the space was too small to escape.
It felt as if the ground caved in, and their bodies, uncontrollably, sank with the ground...
"Ah... Brother... Help me... Help me... Save me."
"Rumble...!"
The Fat Man’s scream quickly disappeared into the depths below.
"Fatty Brother, Fatty Brother!"
The Thin Man also fell down, feeling a glaring light ahead, suddenly turning from darkness to light. His eyes squinted uncontrollably, while the Fat Man’s screams echoed in his ears...
"Ah...!"
The sound grew closer, and the Thin Man got up from the ground, still unclear about what happened. Suddenly, with a thud, he was knocked and sent flying by the Fat Man crashing down from above.
This time it was his turn to shout: "Ah...!"
Clang clang, as he sped through the place, it seemed he collided with something, leaving the Thin Man dizzy, seeing stars. He finally got up from the ground and looked around, realizing they had arrived at a transparent fire-lit area, roughly a hundred square meters in size.
Eventually, the Thin Man clearly saw that the light emanated from Luminous Pearls on the pillars.
Four sturdy pillars stood in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and southeast directions, with Luminous Pearls in the center of the pillars, held by small silver basins.
"Where is this?" The Fat Man clambered up from the ground, dizzy and awed by the spectacle before him.
"I don’t know."
The Thin Man stared at the goose egg-sized Luminous Pearls on the pillars, his eyes brightening. Such large Luminous Pearls were incredibly rare. If they were brought back to the Heavenly Mountain Sect, even without a Token, their position as protectors might be secure.
Thinking this, he excitedly shared the idea with his brother.
After hearing this, the Fat Man was happy but also worried: "Brother, with so many treasures here, might there be an owner?"
As they spoke, their voices echoed everywhere.
"There’s definitely no one. Don’t forget, we fell in by digging a cave. Besides, with all this commotion, if someone was here, they would have come out already."
Saying this, the Thin Man seemed to recall something as he looked at the Fat Man and asked: "You fell down before me. How did you arrive here later than me?"
The Fat Man was also confused, saying bewilderedly: "I don’t know either. After falling, I felt like I couldn’t stop and suddenly arrived here."
Earlier, he fell dizzy, barely recalling anything, thinking his fate was sealed. Unexpectedly, they came to this place with so many treasures. If they took these Luminous Pearls, they would never worry about food and drink again. It truly echoed the saying: ’When all seems lost, a new path emerges.’
"Brother, since it’s like this, these Luminous Pearls are masterless treasures. If we take them back to offer to the Sect Master, he might overlook the Token matter out of happiness."
"Yes, that’s exactly my intention."
Having decided, the two brothers prepared eagerly to climb the pillars to take the Luminous Pearls.
The place was spacious, unlike the cramped underground cave where turning was difficult. Earlier, after lying in the cave for several Shichen Chinese Time, their limbs were a bit numb. After stretching a little, they stamped their feet on the ground powerfully, leaping like a Roc spreading its wings, straight towards the Luminous Pearls on the pillars...
