Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

160 Turning Enemies into Friends? Just to Survive
On the desolate ground, two deep pits, one big and one small, were almost connected.

The dust that had gathered was about to dissipate. Lin Ran and Liu Hongshan lay on the edge of the pit they had created and looked at each other.

There was a long pause.

Liu Hongshan finally couldn’t help but ask, “Is there something wrong with your brain? I understand that you want to trap me, but why didn’t you leave yourself a way out?”

Lin Ran rolled his eyes. “You have the cheek to ask me that? If you weren’t in a hurry to flee, would I need to use my internal energy?”

Liu Hongshan nodded and looked at Lin Ran with a scrutinizing gaze. “It seems that you already know that that thing was attracted by the fluctuation of internal energy?”

“Of course I do!”

Lin Ran replied proudly, but he was more or less surprised.

Last time, he only realized it after a long time, but Liu Hongshan could acutely figure it out through just two exchanges of moves with the white figure. It was enough to show how rich this person’s combat experience was.

“What exactly is that?”

Liu Hongshan asked softly with a teasing expression, “Or do you not know either?”

“I won’t tell you even if I know!”

Lin Ran replied firmly and climbed out of the deep pit he had created. As long as he didn’t use internal energy, he was safe here, so he didn’t have to worry about the guy in the armor attacking him.

Seeing this, Liu Hongshan also climbed out of the pit. After looking around warily for a moment, he walked to Lin Ran’s side.

“What are you doing?”

Lin Ran immediately looked at Liu Hongshan and said warily, “I’m warning you. As long as you dare to activate your internal energy, that thing will immediately come and take your life.”

“That’s why I have to stay close to you. This way, no one can escape.”

As Liu Hongshan spoke, he could not help but look around. “What exactly is this place?”

“All the secrets of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty are here.”

Lin Ran replied honestly. Ever since Liu Hongshan entered this place, he had no intention of letting this guy out alive, so he was not worried that he would leak the secret.

Liu Hongshan seemed to have realized this, so he didn’t question Lin Ran’s answer. He paused for a moment before continuing to ask, “Then you should know how to get out, right?”

“Look!”

Lin Ran pointed at the crack in the sky and Liu Hongshan immediately waved his hand. “Don’t try to trick me into activating my internal energy. I’m talking about a safe exit.”

“What safe exit?”

“The kind where people who come to store secrets go.”

Liu Hongshan said casually, “The two of us Half-Saints can’t even withstand a move from that thing. I don’t believe the person who came to store the secret can be stronger than you and me. They have to go out after coming in, right?”

Lin Ran pursed his lips and didn’t say anything because what Liu Hongshan said was something he had never thought of.

However, Lin Ran knew this secret place better than Liu Hongshan, so after some thought, he figured out what was going on.

The empress had once said that only the emperors of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty knew about this secret place.

In other words, according to the rules of the royal family, only the previous emperors could enter this place. In this way, the key for them to enter and leave safely was definitely not their cultivation or strength. It was most likely related to the royal bloodline.

Perhaps as long as a member of the royal family entered the secret place, the guy in armor wouldn’t attack. Although Lin Ran didn’t know how the guy survived here, from their interaction, it was obvious that the guy was intelligent.

However, Lin Ran didn’t intend to tell Liu Hongshan about this. After all, they were still enemies.

After casually saying that he didn’t know, Lin Ran held his chest and limped towards the dilapidated palace not far away.

It was not that he wanted to find out any secrets, but he just wanted to find a place to rest. Although the wound on his chest no longer hurt so much, he could not use his internal energy to heal now. Being exposed to the cold wind in the wilderness would undoubtedly make his injuries worse.

After taking a dozen steps, Lin Ran realized that Liu Hongshan was still following him.

In this situation, he couldn’t be bothered with Liu Hongshan. He gritted his teeth and walked for a while before arriving at a relatively intact palace hall. After pushing open the door and entering, he closed it tightly.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Liu Hongshan did not come in, Lin Ran leaned against the wall and slowly lay on the ground. It was unknown if it was because he was too injured or too tired, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Ran was woken up by clicking sounds. He opened his eyes in a daze and realized that Liu Hongshan had also entered this hall.

Liu Hongshan had gotten some broken pieces of wood from somewhere and piled them together. At this moment, he was squatting beside Lin Ran and knocking on two stones, as if he wanted to light a fire.

“What are you doing?”

Lin Ran asked in confusion. As he spoke, he looked down at his chest. The bruise was much larger than before, but it didn’t hurt as much. It seemed that his injuries were getting better.

“It’s going to be dark soon. We don’t have the strength to protect ourselves now. We need to build a fire to keep the beasts away.”

As Liu Hongshan spoke, a dazzling spark shot out from the two stones. He was immediately overjoyed. He quickly took some smaller firewood from the side and carefully placed it on the fire.

Seeing this, Lin Ran was speechless. “If you have the energy, why don’t you think about how to get out? It won’t get dark here, and there’s no b…”

Before he could say the word “beast”, Lin Ran heard a wolf-like howl coming from afar. He subconsciously turned to look outside and saw that the originally bright day had turned gray.

“What’s going on? Is it cloudy?”

Lin Ran muttered and wanted to go out to take a closer look. When he passed by Liu Hongshan, he was stopped by him.

“It’s dangerous outside.”

As Liu Hongshan spoke, he stretched out his left hand. Lin Ran saw that there were six blood marks on his left arm. The wounds were not long, but they were deep and bloody.

“It happened in a second. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have lost this arm.”

As Liu Hongshan spoke, his gaze drifted to the darkening sky outside. “It’s been nearly 20 hours since we came in, but it’s just starting to get dark.”

Lin Ran frowned slightly. “What is it supposed to mean?”

“Day and night are always opposites. The days here are so long, so the nights are definitely not short.”

Liu Hongshan looked at the wound on his arm again, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn. “I know you don’t want to, and actually, I don’t want to either… But if you don’t want to attract that thing over, we have to cooperate tonight.”
