Celestial Bloodline

After hearing Nine explanation, Kyle nodded with understanding. It's seemed they have actually found a treasure trove.

Also, when Kyle heard about the location of the cave, he was sure it was the same as one of two the golden cross marks present on this mountain.

Kyle started pondering, mana stones were precious as they were used for the activation of teleportation arrays and many other things.

Mana stones were a type of blue color stones that hold abundant of mana within them and were only produced naturally.

That's why all the Kingdoms used them as a second currency after gold coins.

Also, selling one mana stone was enough for a poor family of 5-6 to live comfortably for a month because;

1 mana stone=100 gold coins,

1 gold coin= 100 silver coins,

1 silver coin= 100 bronze coins.

It would be a pity if Kyle left those precious stones for someone else.

Right now, the only thing he lack was money but if Nine was telling the truth then this problem can be solved for a while.

After thinking for a while, Kyle asked Nine and Tainin if they would like to go toward the mana stone cave again.

Kyle wasn't expecting them to agree because just now he saw how they were chased by so many (-C)-Rank worms.

He just asked for the sake of politeness as they were the ones who found the mana cave before him.

But to his surprise even after experiencing such a tragic incident both Nine and Tainin immediately agreed.

It seems they also didn't wanted to let go of the mana stones.

Around thirty minutes later;

Three individuals wearing dirty mud-filled clothes and a small red bird were hiding behind some boulders present at the entrance of a cave.

They didn't dare to advance because in front of the boulders was a huge open area where more than five (-C)-Rank worms were munching on some mana stones.

Also, at the end of the open area, a lot of mana stones were piled in small mountains.

As Kyle peeked from behind the boulder and looked at the mana stones present behind the worms, a glint flashed through his eyes.

There were so many mana stones!

He will become rich even if he got half of them. Kyle wasn't even able to count how many they were.

The entrance of the cave wasn't hidden nor was there any trap that's why the moment they entered the cave, Kyle was able to see the worms and all the mana stones.

It was like the mana stones were calling everyone to pick them up.

While Kyle was peeking at the mana stones, Nine who was sitting beside him whispered.

"So what's the plan?"

Kyle took a deep breath and retracted his head. He already knew what they needs to do.

"I think we need a bait."

Hearing Kyle's words both Nine and Tianin looked at each other and hurriedly shook their heads.

There was no way they were going to act as a bait.

Just an hour ago they saw their death flash through their eyes when the worms were chasing after them.

It was fortunate that the worms were not fast or else Nine and Tainin didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened to them.

When Kyle saw their reluctant expression, he also immediately shook his head.

He also refused to become a bait.

While everyone was thinking about what to do, Bia who was sitting on top of a nearby boulder yawned.

All three of them simultaneously looked toward Bia and a smile formed on their faces.

Bia who just wanted to sleep because she was too tired suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine when she saw everyone smiling while looking at her.

-'Shit.'

In the end, after cursing Kyle for a while Bia agreed to become a bait with a reluctant expression.

Kyle, Nine and Tainin hurriedly moved away from behind the boulder and hid behind another boulder present at a corner.

On the other hand, after taking a deep breath Bia flapped her wings and flew toward the worms.

Her eyes showed reluctance. She didn't wanted to do this but because Kyle promised to give her the next treasure he found that's why she agreed.

With her small figure, she appeared on top of the worms who were busy munching on mana stones without caring about anything else.

After taking a deep breath, Bia flapped her wings and two golden fireballs the size of a fist shot out from under her wings.

The fireballs directly collided with the heads of two worms but it didn't affect them in the slightest because all the worms were (-C)-Rank.

The worms screeched loudly and hurriedly looked toward Bia who was sweating buckets.

With their long large bodies, the worms tried to bite her but Bia started flying around barely dodging their attacks.

Due to the commotion, the other worms who were lying around also saw Bia and started attacking her.

Soon, all the worms present inside the cave were hell-bent on killing Bia because she intruded inside their territory.

Bia also sighed with relief, the worms were not able to approach her because she was flying. Now she only needed to lure them outside so Kyle and the others could take the mana stones.

While Bia was getting relaxed, suddenly the whole cave shook.

She looked down and almost freaked out.

A large black color worm that was double the size of the previous worms suddenly shot out from the underground.

Its body was huge almost reaching the top of the cave. The worm hissed loudly and opened its huge mouth to directly eat up the small insect that dare to disturb its sleep.

Bia's eyes contracted seeing the long razor-sharp teeth.

It was (+C)-Rank!

On the other hand, Kyle's eyes also widened when he saw another Boss Monster.

He didn't expect this outcome.

Seeing Bia's daze expression, Kyle hastily screamed inside her mind.

'Bia fly back immediately!!!'

Kyle was ready to attack the worm when he saw its razor-sharp teeth almost tearing Bia into pieces.

But then under Kyle worried gaze, suddenly huge golden flames burst out from Bia's body and the (+C)-Rank worm withdrew its mouth back with a screech.

It wasn't injured, it was just surprised seeing the sudden outburst of flames.

Taking advantage of the worm distraction, Bia hurriedly retreated toward the exit of the cave.

Her face was ashen as she seemingly cursed someone inside her head.

-'Kyle, you fucker this time I am really gonna kill you.'
