Chapter 983 Thousand Of Miles Away


    Jared maxed out the power of his Focus Technique to fight back, yet the golden elixir and draconic


    essence in his body surprisingly cracked under the immense pressure.


    At this rate, Jared’s life would end once the golden elixir was destroyed. Even if he miraculously


    survived, he would be permanently impaired.


    Crack!


    A loud crackter, more scales on Jared’s body snapped, and blood seeped from his skin.


    Gradually, the golden scales on Jared’s body cracked and yielded, revealing fresh, bleeding wounds


    underneath.


    Jared’s eyes turned bloodshot from the effort of holding the immense pressure at bay, which threatened


    to tten him into a paste.


    Despite the struggles, he continued to advance slowly. He was thankful to even move several


    centimeters closer to the tomb, given that turning back was no longer an option. He would even crawl if


    that was what it took to make it inside the tomb.


    In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming pressure sent Jared sprawling across the ground. The hard


    iolite surface shattered upon impact.


    He used every ounce of strength in his limbs to crawl toward the tomb.


    He gnashed his teeth so hard that they were on the verge of cracking.


    The golden rays enveloping his body began to dim.


    At the same time, the scales covering his body slowly disappeared, exposing Jared’s body to the


    murderous intent.


    Every wave felt like a sharp sword shing across his body, leaving behind bloody wounds.


    Jared gritted his teeth and inched forward, blood trailing behind him.


    He was almost at the doorway, yet the distance seemed insurmountable.


    Jared stretched his hand out. He felt as though he had touched the doorway and the barrier of the


    arcane array. Once he crossed that line, he would be inside the tomb.


    Wounded and exhausted, Jared could no longer take another step forward. Instead, he focused on


    moving his finger across the barrier.


    The pressure suffocating him instantly disappeared when Jared’s finger crossed the barrier of the


    arcane array, as did the murderous intent.


    The sudden pressure loss caused Jared to cough up a mouthful of blood.


    He could now see clearly into the tomb. On the other hand, Colin and the others finally saw Jared’s


    figure.


    Jaredy in a bloody heap on the ground a dozen meters away from them. It was a gruesome and


    bone-chilling sight.


    Colin called out, “Jared!”


    He rushed forward with his men in tow. It was a short distance for them to cover, yet Jared had almost


    lost his life earlier.


    Colin quickly helped a battered Jared to his feet.


    Howard also approached them and asked, “Are you badly injured, Jared?” He was visibly impressed.

    Jared was severely weakened from the fight but not in life-threatening danger. He mustered a smile


    before shaking his head in response to Howard’s question.


    Meanwhile, Edgar led his men and charged right into the tomb. A painting hung on a wall in the room,


    depicting a mountain bordering a river, where a shepherdess stood on its slope. The drawing was so


    realistic that the figure looked like a real human.


    A few words were scrawled on the left side of the painting: Thousands of Miles Away. Other than that,


    the tomb held nothing else.


    “Is this the magical item?”


    Edgar reached out to retrieve the painting, only to be stopped by Godrick, who cautioned, “Be careful,


    Mr. Edgar! There might be a trap!”


    His warning immediately caused Edgar to retract his hand. Having experienced other traps in the


    ancient tomb before, he elected to err on the side of caution.


    Meanwhile, Colin supported Jared into the tomb. Jared was stunned when heid his eyes on


    Thousands of Miles Away.
