The Legendary Man

Chapter 1313 The Blackwood Family

“What is this place? It's so eerie, isn't it?”

In a state of alarm, Hayden activated his spiritual shield, hoping to create a force field to prevent his own spiritual energy from leaking out. However, the more he tried, the more spiritual energy he lost.

“Huh?”

Hayden cried out in panic, but before he could continue, Jonathan directly covered his mouth.

“Seal the acupoint. Don't panic. These are all minor situations.”

Jonathan reached out and placed his hand on Joshua's body. From his wrist, a flicker of emerald green luminescence sparkled, quickly seeping into Joshua's body.

This was the life force that Seboxia, in his true form, had accumulated through his transformations, and he gifted it to Jonathan.

Only after obtaining these life forces did Jonathan realize their preciousness.

Fifteen beads, entirely formed from the life force, were now reduced to just eight.

This would also serve as Jonathan's final lifeline, absolutely not to be used lightly.

Previously, every time Jonathan was bestowed with the life force by Seboxia's transformation, he would use it immediately. That was because such energy, even if he didn't use it, couldn't remain in his body for too long.

Moreover, since it wasn't his to begin with, he didn't feel any heartache using it.

However, it was different now.

Although the remaining eight life forces seemed to be in large quantities, in reality, they simply couldn't be sustained for a long period of time once used on a large scale. After all, he did not possess Seboxia's ability to control the life forces at will.

Once a bead was shattered, even if only a little was used, the rest would gradually dissipate.

And now, what Jonathan was using was merely a tiny fraction of the energy emanating from those beads.

This bit of life force couldn't revive the dead, but if it was just simply waking Joshua up, it should pose no problem.

Joshua slowly came to his senses, but before he could utter a word, Jonathan had already picked up a Spirit Rejuvenating Pill and tossed it into his mouth.

“Don't speak. First, seal all your vital acupoints, or else this grand formation will torment you to death.”

By now, Kathleen and Hayden had adapted to the dungeon's environment, yet they still held their weapons, remaining on guard on both sides.

“Mr. Goldstein, what on earth is this place? It's so eerie. The formation of spiritual destruction bullets in my magazine has completely failed. I haven't checked the ones in my storage ring yet.”

At that moment, Jonathan was also curiously looking at the two.

“Before you were thrown into the arena of the South Outer City, didn't you stay in the dungeon?”

Kathleen shook her head slightly. “I was captured in Bannockburn Village outside and thrown directly into the arena.”

“I was outside Upriver Village...” Hayden scratched his head and asked, “When you were in South Outer City, were you thrown into this godforsaken place?”

Jonathan recalled the frustrating sage he had encountered in the remote village, his lips twitching unnaturally twice.

After setting down the Coffin he carried on his back, he used his spiritual energy to activate a formation, transforming it into a ten-meter size. Then, he forcefully knocked on the Coffin.

“We're here. Both of you can come out now!”

The Coffin door swung open, and Stellario and Merilyn leaped out from within.

No sooner had they come out than the expressions on their faces changed.

“D*mn...” Stellario looked at Jonathan and uttered through gritted teeth.

“Weren't you the one who just promised me that as long as I overdraw my spiritual energy and vitality to produce a large number of hidden-wing insects, you would ensure our escape?”

“I did promise you,” Jonathan pointed at Joshua and continued, “But look at him. Do you think it's easy for us to survive when we're surrounded by hundreds of God Realm beings? Celestus is a master at playing with fire. Those hidden-wing insects have long been roasted by him.”

Upon hearing that, Stellario and Merilyn promptly sealed their own acupoints, behaving as if they were accustomed to the situation.

At this point, Joshua had somewhat recovered. He sat up, put away his Formation Crusher, and began to survey his surroundings.

“Even if we seal the acupoints, it's impossible to stay here for a long time. Once I've recovered a bit, we'll leave this place.”

As Joshua spoke, he reached out and tossed several medicinal pills into his mouth.

Stellario, who was completely unaware of the previous battle, frowned as he looked at Jonathan.

“According to his words, I reckon we weren't captured and brought here, were we?”

“Nonsense,” Jonathan responded irritably. “If we were captured, would we be this relaxed? Haven't you noticed we're not in a prison cell?”

Stellario looked around carefully. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

“I was just wondering, how come you guys seem perfectly fine even if you were defeated.”

Jonathan watched as Stellario and Merilyn walked hand in hand, a slight frown forming on his face.

Merilyn could almost certainly be described as a love-struck fool. Once she set her sights on Stellario, she considered him in everything she did. Even though it was blatantly obvious that Stellario was using her, she couldn't help but make excuses for him.

I just hope that Stellario can be a decent person and not be too harsh on Merilyn.

Just as everyone was striving to restore their spiritual power, preparing for the continued escape, Hayden, however, took out his phone and started heading toward a dimly lit cell nearby.
