Chapter 718: Chapter 721: Jade Girl Palm Technique

”How do you want me to thank you?”

Lin Zitong glared at Qin Tian who was all smiles and thought to herself, there was no way he could open that stone gate!

”Just call me ’hubby’ and that’ll do.”

Qin Tian chuckled, throwing a seductive wink at Lin Zitong.

Lin Zitong felt a wave of nausea and turned her head away, ”If you can take me out of here, I might consider calling you hubby, but I seriously doubt you have the skills.”

”You said it, hubby will make you cool, hubby will take you flying.”

Qin Tian glanced at Lin Zitong and then continued to inspect the sealed space.

In fact, facing such a sealed space, Qin Tian did have a way to take Lin Zitong out.

After all, he had the sharp Dragon Blood Dagger in hand, so even if no one came to the rescue, he could simply dig a tunnel out with the Dragon Blood Dagger, it would just take some labor and time.

Making an escape tunnel was, of course, the last resort. Now, Qin Tian was looking for another way out.

He noticed the two torches in the chamber were still lit, even the flames flickered, especially the one on the right side which kept flashing outwards.

Qin Tian caught this anomaly and instantly associated it with something.

For torches to burn, they need to consume oxygen. Several hours had passed and they were still burning, which means there was enough oxygen in the chamber.

Having been in the tight space for so long without feeling any depletion of oxygen or any difficulty in breathing only meant that the chamber wasn’t airtight!

Qin Tian had already carefully examined the huge stone gate and found no gaps, indicating that the oxygen wasn’t coming from there.

Seeing the torch on the right side flicker as if blown by wind, Qin Tian immediately grinned and moved closer to it.

There were no visible cracks in the wall, but Qin Tian noticed the torch was wedged between two stone seams, and it was here that he felt a slight breeze coming through!

”Heh, I knew it, in the midst of these wilds, to have someone construct such a massive stone gate, there must’ve been people here before. Seems I was right, this cave holds secrets.”

Talking to himself, as Lin Zitong’s gaze shifted towards him, Qin Tian took down the torch and drew out the Dragon Blood Dagger, prying at the wall!

”Hm?”

Lin Zitong, seeing Qin Tian’s actions, looked stern as her eyebrows furrowed instantly.

She saw that the wall Qin Tian was digging had already been cracked open by him!

With a strong kick, Qin Tian knocked out a large piece of the wall, and immediately, a dark tunnel appeared in front of him!

There was another passage!

Lin Zitong was stunned; she had not expected that at the very end of the stone wall, there was another path!

”There’s a draft coming in; if we follow it inside, we’ll definitely be able to get out.”

Qin Tian said, holding the torch by the fork in the road.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zitong slowly stood from the ground with a limp, picked up the other torch, and hobbled towards Qin Tian.

”What’s wrong with your leg, limping like that?” asked Qin Tian, noticing her unusual way of walking.

Lin Zitong glanced at him, her face flushing red, ”Injured...”

”Uh...” Qin Tian realized something and felt a bout of embarrassment. This injury of Lin Zitong’s was caused by her moving too vigorously while under the effects of the drug he had given her earlier, and he had forgotten.

The two of them each holding a torch, entered the dark tunnel. This small cave was only about a dozen meters deep. Qin Tian led the way, with Lin Zitong slowly following behind.

They hadn’t walked for a minute when Qin Tian immediately felt a cold breeze coming from ahead—there had to be an exit!

”We’ve found the exit.”

Qin Tian turned around and saw Lin Zitong standing a few meters behind him, bending over with a torch in hand, as if she had discovered something in a crack in the wall.

”Hey, what are you doing?”

Qin Tian approached and saw Lin Zitong carefully removing a dust-covered iron box from a small hole recessed into the stone wall.

”What is this?”

Qin Tian walked over, his gaze curious.

Lin Zitong, who had been silent from the start, gently opened the iron box.

Inside the iron box was a book, an ancient tome that had changed color with age.

The book appeared to be made from special materials that prevented decay, but perhaps because it had been left here for too long, its color had changed.

Curious, Qin Tian leaned in to get a closer look, but before he could make out the words on the ancient book, Lin Zitong, with quick eyes and hands, took the book from the box and stowed it away for herself.

”There are four words on the ancient book, ’Jade Girl Palm Technique,’ right?”

Seeing that Lin Zitong had carefully put the book away, Qin Tian blinked at her, ”In such a mysterious cave, to find an iron box, an ancient book, and it’s the ’Jade Girl Palm Technique’ at that... This is a Secret Martial Arts Manual, isn’t it? We’ve stumbled upon an adventure.”

”I found this. It’s mine,”

Lin Zitong said coldly, staring at Qin Tian.

Hearing this, Qin Tian pursed his lips, ”The ’Jade Girl Palm Technique’ sounds like a martial arts technique for women. I’m not trying to take it from you, so why are you getting worked up?”

While talking, Qin Tian glanced at Lin Zitong’s shapely legs and said, ”Your leg doesn’t hurt anymore, does it? Over there should be the exit; let’s hurry out.”

Lin Zitong blushed and said nothing, following Qin Tian out. However, she was extremely excited in her heart.

The ancient tome indeed bore the four characters ”Jade Girl Palm Technique.”

Qin Tian might not understand what those words meant, but Lin Zitong, who came from the Yin Chun Sect, knew very well what it meant for her to have this ancient tome.

Qin Tian and Lin Zitong crawled out from a crevice on the other side of the cliff back into the original cave and saw Su Ziyuan at the cave entrance, fiddling with her mobile phone’s flashlight in a rush, trying to figure out how to open the Stone Gate.

When Su Ziyuan saw Lin Zitong and Qin Tian appearing behind her, she jumped in shock, ”Big Sister? You weren’t inside? I thought you...”

Before she could finish, Su Ziyuan noticed Qin Tian standing next to Lin Zitong and was instantly taken aback.

”Big Sister, this Qin Tian... you guys...”

”I’m fine, Ziyuan. Let’s go,”

Lin Zitong interrupted Su Ziyuan indifferently.

”Oh,” Su Ziyuan responded, walking over to Lin Zitong’s side but still couldn’t help giving Qin Tian a few more glances.

”Where is my friend?” Qin Tian asked.

”Hmph, Qin Tian, you...”

Su Ziyuan furrowed her brows, about to speak, but was once again interrupted by Lin Zitong, ”Ziyuan, return his friend to him, and remember to cure the poison.”

”Big Sister...” Su Ziyuan was taken aback, ”You... you’re not going to kill him?”
