Chapter 597: Chapter 268: Spirit Heart Amber
In the silent jungle, a figure lay quietly on the weed-strewn ground.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, illuminating a pale, handsome face. Morning dew dripped from the tips of leaves, falling drop by drop on the chapped lips.
The lips moved slightly, and Ronan awoke from unconsciousness.
Ronan struggled to sit up, and the next moment, his hands couldn’t help but press against his head.
It felt as if countless tiny insects were jumping beneath his brow and temples, ready to burst through the skin.
At this moment, he felt like his brain had been forcibly filled with countless pieces of information and knowledge, continuously being stuffed inside.
This vast stream of information seemed to contain a complete and ancient inheritance, yet the infusion was still ongoing, and he could only decipher a small part.
“Spirit.. Spirit.. Heart…”
Ronan took a deep breath, enduring the splitting pain in his head, and slowly stood up from the grass.
The surrounding air was thick with free energy particles, indicating he had left the Spirit Space. Ronan assessed himself, finding that the Blue Snail was still present within him, but his Vital Light Ball was dimmed to an almost depleted state, emitting sparse life energy that was slowly mending his physical injuries.
The Ancient Mara’s Body had elevated Ronan’s Pure Body to another level, but it also consumed an immense amount of life energy.
Ronan took out Healing Potions from his Space Ring and drank them one after another.
As his state gradually improved, Ronan’s mind regained the ability to think.
“How long was I unconscious?”
The last thing Ronan remembered before fainting was being enveloped by a light membrane released by a golden beetle.
He wasn’t sure how long this process lasted; he only knew that Ewaqu was still inside when he left.
Ronan’s gaze flickered for a moment before releasing his spiritual power, quickly determining a direction and moving swiftly.
But before he had taken more than a few steps, his brow twitched with an unusual disturbance.
Ronan felt the massive torrent of knowledge being infused into his brain suddenly stop.
Following this, a small, beautiful golden beetle emerged from his brow, its translucent wings flapping as it floated silently in front of him.
The glow emitted by the golden beetle cast the surrounding jungle in a tranquil and ethereal light.
Ronan halted his steps, staring intently at the beetle in front of him. Moments later, he calmly spoke a name: “Alazan Dilingfascola Kaginston…..”
He clearly remembered the furious roar of the Dark Silver Tailless Giant Dragon, who kept cursing this name in his rage.
As he spoke, the golden beetle’s wings fluttered slightly, and a stream of information flooded into Ronan’s mind.
“Gorini… the betrayer of the Dragon Witch, once the temple guardian of the Hall of Spirits….”
Ronan frowned, muttering the bits of information passed on by the golden beetle. His eyes flickered, and finally, he raised his head, “I understand.
But right now, I need to verify something… my friend is still in danger.”
He attempted to bypass the golden beetle in front of him to find the entrance to the Spirit Space that Ewaqu had once led him to.
The golden beetle did not intend to stop him; instead, a scene appeared directly in Ronan’s mind.
——The scene presented depicted the Stone Statue Square on the fifth level of the Spirit Space.
Ronan immediately spotted Ewaqu’s figure in the scene.
He looked pale, leaning tightly against the Wolf Witch Chief’s stone statue.
A white beam of light descended from the top of the Wolf Witch Chief’s statue, firmly shielding Ewaqu inside, making it impenetrable despite the frantic biting and roaring of the Dark Silver Tailless Giant Dragon, which the golden beetle referred to as Gorini.
“Ah, Ewaqu has passed the test of the Wolf Witch Chief, thus receiving his protection through inheritance… I was worried for nothing…”
Ronan felt slightly relieved, but in the next moment, he saw the Giant Tailless Dragon suddenly abandon its assault on the white light beam, instead turning and roaring with rage at the remaining seven stone statues in the square.
It seemed to be loudly announcing something.
Ronan frowned, and his pupils abruptly contracted in the next instant.
He saw the white beam of light descending from the Wolf Witch Chief’s statue abruptly retract, leaving Ewaqu unprepared as the Giant Tailless Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a milky white light ball, immediately pouncing on Ewaqu.
Caught off guard, the enormous dragon shadow enveloped Ewaqu, instantly transforming into countless sticky black fluids, frantically attempting to penetrate him through his mouth, nose, and every pore on his body.
Ronan’s hanging hands clenched tightly, and then he saw the milky white light ball previously expelled by the Giant Tailless Dragon split into six in mid-air, flying towards the remaining six stone statues, except for Dragon Witch Chief Bahafus…..
The scene abruptly ended, vanishing without a trace.
In the silent jungle, Ronan stood quietly, calming himself with several deep breaths.
“So, it formed some sort of agreement with them… Ewaqu was made a sacrifice by the spiritual intentions of the Witch Chiefs he so admired and revered?”
The golden beetle hovered silently, offering no response.
Ronan remained silent for a moment, then softly spoke: “In that case, tell me… where should I go now?”
The golden beetle flew towards Ronan, merging back into his brow. All the surrounding glow retracted, as if nothing had ever happened.
