44: Chapter One Difficult Journey_1 44: Chapter One Difficult Journey_1 Guoguo had already lifted the large stone block which weighed over a thousand kilograms.
The stone was shakily lifted from its chest to its head, with its windmill-like ears supporting the bottom of the rock.
Its body seemed to sink rapidly into the ground like it was quicksand or swamp. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel✶fire.net
Ants and centipedes were frantically scurrying upwards from the countless crevices at the bottom of the rock above its head.
Guoguo turned its head and playfully scrunched its nose at Liu Zhenhan, sticking out its little pink translucent tongue.
A sweat droplet slid down its cheek, exceptionally shining and dazzling.
Liu Zhenhan and Helen stared blankly at the small figure that was slowly, slowly sinking into the ground.
The stone had hidden Guoguo’s original position.
“Damn!” Liu Zhenhan almost rushed over and flipped the stone.
He had no time to consider why he had suddenly become so strong.
He only felt warmth in his arm and a surging strength filling it, making the huge stone seem as light as a doughnut or a bun in his hand.
He tossed it into the air, and with a “crash,” it damaged countless Buddha’s belly bamboos.
Helen covered her mouth with her delicate hand, her face filled with disbelief.
“Guoguo!” Liu Zhenhan picked up the little figure from the mud.
Guoguo looked as healthy as a well-fed noble, except for the earthworm on top of its head, which spoiled its image somewhat.
“You scared me to death!” Liu Zhenhan held Guoguo tightly in his arms.
“By Kampas above!” Helen exclaimed from the stone that had knocked over several Buddha’s belly bamboos, “It’s really the power of the curse!”
Liu Zhenhan looked at the stone and was also a bit stunned.
Although he was not weak, he did not think he had the strength to lift such a large stone.
He looked down at his hands, and they were still the same, no different from before.
Did these hands create this miracle?
Liu Zhenhan was also shocked.
“The curse of the Blood Sacrifice has taken effect!” Helen moaned in pain.
“Curse my ass!” Liu Zhenhan said somewhat irritably, “Let it curse!
I never offended this black dragon!”
Oh, Richard…” Helen’s trembling hand matched her trembling voice.
There’s no backlash from the magic!” Liu Zhenhan’s heart was also filled with fear, but he still forced a smile.
Helen threw herself into his arms, pounding Liu Zhenhan’s chest while cursing, “Do you know how worried I was about you?
You, idiot from Pigiel race!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Liu Zhenhan’s heart was overflowing with joy, “I am indeed an idiot from Pigiel tribe!
No doubt about that.”
Helen realized her unperturbed demeanor, and quickly retreated from Liu Zhenhan’s chest, brushing her wavy red hair.
Liu Zhenhan laughed foolishly, smacked his lips, still immersed in that embrace.
“Why isn’t there backlash from the magic?
Could it be that strength isn’t considered magic?” Liu Zhenhan joyfully rubbed his hands together, “Then I’m blessed now!!”
“Get ready quickly and let’s leave here.” Helen gazed at the body of the giant tortoise, feeling indescribably strange, “As for this issue, I will ask my mentor when I return.”
“What’s there to pack?” Liu Zhenhan looked at the body of the giant tortoise and spat, “I originally wanted to bury it, now it seems like a ridiculous idea!”
This isn’t in accordance with canonical teachings!” Helen disagreed.
“Alright, I’ll first send you up the cliff, and then I’ll bury it.” Liu Zhenhan’s eyes glinted with cunning.
Helen didn’t say anything else as she was also hungry.
After a tiring day of work, her strength was nearing exhaustion.
Liu Zhenhan carried Helen on his back and quickly climbed up the cliff along the vines.
He felt an overwhelming strength coursing through his arms, exciting his body, causing excessive excitement leading to subtle muscle convulsions.
Helen, on the other hand, was quite scared, seeing Richard climb up the vine while trembling a bit, she had a strong illusion that they were about to fall.
After sending Helen up the cliff, Liu Zhenhan returned down and didn’t do anything else, like burying the body of the giant tortoise?
The wolf skin mattress and the unfinished wolf skin boots were also picked up by Liu Zhenhan and stuffed into the empty shell of the tortoise.
There was an unexpected find which excited Liu Zhenhan – the pearl that had been taken out from the lower jaw of the tortoise.
After being cleaned, it emitted a gentle light, cold and clear, not dazzling, but very bright, illuminating everything within a radius of fifteen meters.
Liu Zhenhan had heard the great reputation of the Night Pearl before, but he never thought he would encounter one.
He was so happy he couldn’t close his mouth.
It was a splendid lantern!
Liu Zhenhan thought to himself.
