Chapter 2633: Chapter 2632: You Brought This Upon Yourself!
This Aidan, after causing trouble and triggering the defense mechanisms here, doesn’t even bother to help fend off the attack, focusing solely on the treasure box in his hand!
Faced with the Earth Dragon Power shooting from all directions.
Instead of joining the fight, he clutched the treasure box tightly, his face full of greed, hiding at the back of the crowd, using others’ shadows as cover, trying to save himself amidst the chaos, treating everyone as his shield.
Lin Dong stood at the front of the team, holding a long sword, his eyes determined. While resisting the incoming attacks, he glared angrily at Aidan hiding behind everyone.
Aidan held the exquisite treasure box tightly, not a trace of guilt on his face, instead looking as if it was only natural.
"Aidan! What are you doing? Put down the treasure box and fight these mechanisms with us!" Lin Dong shouted in rage.
But Aidan seemed not to hear him, clutching the box even tighter, his eyes filled only with endless greed and fear.
"You coward! Sacrificing our lives for a treasure box!" Yun Ruoxian scolded him from within the team.
This Aidan, he even pursued her before.
With such character, how could she have liked him?
Her voice was full of disappointment and anger.
Others also cast disdainful glances at Aidan, feeling contempt for his behavior.
Faced with everyone’s criticism, Aidan didn’t even blush. He held the box tightly and said, "I was the first one to find this; it’s naturally mine. Lin Dong, who are you to make me put it down?"
"Do you want me to put it down so you can take it for yourself?"
"This is a treasure box from the Earth Dragon Palace; it must be extremely precious. Placed deliberately on a golden table and contained in such a top-quality box, even a Junior Patriarch Level person would be envious of the treasure inside."
He believed that the treasure within the box must be extraordinarily valuable.
Lin Dong was speechless. He said, "Who wants your treasure box? I want you to put down the box and help defend against the Earth Dragon Power!"
"Aidan, the defense mechanism was triggered because of your greedy touch. And now, you hide at the back, letting us bear all the risks, wanting to enjoy the treasure alone? Don’t you find your behavior shameful?"
Lin Dong’s voice was low and powerful, each word like a heavy hammer, striking Aidan’s heart.
Aidan, instead of repenting, shrugged and smirked shamelessly, "Lin Dong, as our Team Leader, shouldn’t you bear the team leader’s responsibilities? It’s only natural for you to stand at the forefront in danger, isn’t it?"
His words carried a trace of provocation, as if saying, "That’s just how I am; what can you do about it?"
Lin Dong heard this, his rage boiling, but he held back from bursting out immediately.
He knew that the most important thing now was to unite against the current crisis, not to create internal strife. However, Aidan’s attitude made chills rise in his heart.
He didn’t truly recognize the team, let alone acknowledge him as the team leader.
"Aidan, do you think you can get everything by doing this? You’re wrong! True strength lies in those who understand responsibility and commitment. Your actions will only make everyone despise you!" Tang Yun spoke up, her eyes full of disdain.
But Aidan seemed not to hear, clutching the box tighter, as if it was his whole life.
His eyes were filled with greed and selfishness, completely disregarding others’ safety.
"Hmph, stop pretending. Lin Dong, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Don’t you just want to take my treasure box? Let me tell you, I will get what’s inside this box, no doubt!"
Aidan’s voice suddenly became sharp, filled with hostility.
Lin Dong saw this and shook his head, saying, "It’s not certain the contents of your box are treasures."
Lin Dong’s mental power was so acute that he sensed no spiritual energy from the box.
Instead, he sensed a faint hint of danger.
So the box’s contents might not be treasure at all.
It could even be danger!
Hearing this, Aidan laughed even louder.
"Haha, Lin Dong, now I’m even more sure you’re after my box. Our team agreed that any treasure found in the Earth Dragon Palace belongs to whoever finds it. Do you think just because you’re the team leader, you can steal my treasure? No way!"
He held the box even tighter.
Lin Dong sneered, "I’m not interested in your treasure."
"However, since you triggered the defense mechanism, the Earth Dragon Power should be defended by you."
As Lin Dong spoke, he slowly uttered a few words.
"Wuji Defense Temple!"
These five words flowed softly from Lin Dong’s mouth, carrying an ancient and mysterious power.
Instantly, an ancient temple’s ethereal silhouette, radiating a faint glow, formed around him, rapidly expanding to completely enclose the space where the six of them stood.
The temple walls were adorned with intricate runes that seemed to come alive, exuding a soft yet resilient defensive field, isolating the raging Earth Dragon Power outside.
The Earth Dragon Power, the most terrifying guardian force of this underground palace, now seemed to hit an insurmountable barrier, crashing against the Infinite Defense Temple’s barrier in ripples, unable to penetrate.
Lin Dong stood at the temple’s center, expression calm, as if all was within his expectation.
Meanwhile, Little Monarch Red Dragon and Aidan faced a completely different situation.
The Earth Dragon Power, unable to attack Lin Dong’s temple, immediately targeted both of them.
Even though Red Dragon had the dark bloodline, hiding in the darkness, he couldn’t escape the Earth Dragon Power’s attack at this moment.
The Earth Dragon Power turned into shadows, winding towards him.
Regret and unwillingness flashed in Red Dragon’s eyes, and then he called out to Lin Dong, "Team Leader, help me, let me into your defense temple too."
However, Lin Dong ignored him.
Weren’t you just fending for yourself, using dark means to hide?
Now, you call me Team Leader, now you seek my help?
Sorry, it’s too late!
Now, I’m not your leader!
Aidan was in even more dire straits. Although she had extraordinary strength, in the face of the rampant Earth Dragon Power, she seemed somewhat helpless.
He still held that treasure box tightly, facing the Earth Dragon Power’s attack aimed directly at the treasure box in his hands.
He would rather use his own body to block it than let the Earth Dragon Power destroy the box.
"Pfft~~" He was hit by the Earth Dragon Power, spitting out fresh blood. Although injured, he still retained his momentum, shouting hoarsely:
"This is the treasure I’ve struggled so hard to obtain, how can I let these Earth Dragon Powers destroy it?"
"It’s more important than my life! I’m counting on it to turn my fate around..."
He relied on the treasure within the box to turn his fate around, to gain power, and eventually defeat Lin Dong.
At this moment, he held the treasure box tightly, activating his Bright Bloodline, fiercely battling the ’Wandering Dragons’ formed by the Earth Dragon Power.
Seeing this scene, Lin Dong, within the Wuji Defense Temple, watched delightfully.
Now, it was his turn to sit back and watch!
