Chapter 312: Dead Man Skull

Then she took off her clothes and her breasts were only wrapped in bras again.

Ryan swallowed his saliva, this sister-in-law is truly extraordinary.

When she put her shirt and pants near the fire, Ivanka's words echoed in Ryan's mind. He realized that he shouldn't be in this place too long. He didn't know if Irina had managed to escape or was caught.

Ivanka sat by the fire while covering her body because the water was slightly cold.

Given Ryan's nature, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity then he wouldn't be a man.

But Ivanka blocked her body perfectly, so Ryan couldn't see anything.

While the girl was still focused on the grilled fish, she couldn't wait to eat them. Ryan laughed a little at Ivanka's childlike face.

Not long after, the fish were finally cooked. Even though it wasn't seasoned, Ivanka was already really hungry. Her stomach couldn't wait to eat it. She immediately took 2 skews and ate them greedily. However, her reckless way of eating made her lips burn.

"Ah!"

Ryan stared at Ivanka's hungry smile, he then remembered her effort while struggling to catch fish and chewing them to feed him. Ryan then said softly, "Ivy, eat slowly. No need to worry, now it's my turn to take care of you. "

Ivanka saw the softness in Ryan's eyes, and her heart really moved. She just nodded slowly and started blowing the food first.

They didn't speak at all, one was eating and the other was enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery. This cave finally regained its silence.

Since Ivanka ate the fish with both hands, Ryan was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery in silence.

Slowly, the fish ran out, fueling Ivanka's energy. Ryan himself felt so full, so Ivanka ate all of his catch.

After they finished eating, the clothes also dried up. Ivanka then put on her clothes and stood up.

"Brother, I want to go out and tour around the area," Ivanka said with a smile. Ryan then nodded and stood up.

Ivanka walked out of the cave and greeted the blinding sunshine, but her heart clenched as she looked around. Even though she felt lucky to be alive, this kind of helplessness made her sigh. How would they get out of this place?

If they couldn't get out then they had to stay in this place and wait for help that they didn't even know when they'd arrive. But their food resources were very limited, would a miracle happen?

Ivanka fell silent, she seemed to be thinking really hard.

"Ivy, what's wrong with you?" Ryan's voice made her come back from her daze.

"Brother, can we get out of this place?" Ivanka turned to Ryan. Both of her eyes stared at him closely.

If they wanted to get out, it's up to Ryan. Even though Ivanka knew the odds were slim, she still had high hopes for Ryan. As long as the man nodded, she believed they could do it!

Ryan smiled and said with a serious face, "No matter what, I'll take you out of here!"

Even if he had to climb or jump again, his wife was still waiting for him. So Ryan had to get out of this place.

If this was the old him, maybe he wouldn't believe he could do it. But after absorbing his mysterious power, he was 100% sure he could do it.

What made this a little difficult was the terrain from the cliffs. Since there was no footrest, Ryan had to rely on his hand to grip on the cliff. If he moved alone then he might be able to rise to the top alone. The problem was, he had to take Ivanka with him. 

This was not only a matter of stamina but also a mental problem. If that person was feeling tired and not strong anymore, then they would fall. As he was going to carry Ivanka with him, the trip was already a physical and mental test.

It should be imaginable of how difficult it was to climb this mountain. However, if Ryan was able to absorb all of his mysterious power, he was 100% sure he could do it.

Ryan really understood how terrifying that mysterious power was. If he could absorb it 100% then he was sure he could conquer this mountain while carrying Ivanka.

The girl looked at Ryan's serious expression, she then smiled. "I believe in you."

Ivanka walked towards Ryan with a slightly red face and Ryan returned her gaze. At this moment, it seemed like they were trapped by a mysterious atmosphere. Ivanka's face approached Ryan's slowly, her soft lips already locked onto her target.

Ryan didn't want to lose either, he was already hugging Ivanka's waist. No doubt, this one kiss would make their relationship more complicated than just a brother and sister-in-law. 

But just as their lips were about to touch, Ivanka's consciousness seemed to have been struck by something and she suddenly stopped. Her face was still red and her eyes were sparkling.

"Forgive me…."

Ivanka then ran towards the cave alone. Seeing her figure disappear, a smile crossed Ryan's face. It seemed that his dream of making Ivanka a member of his harem could come true.

Ryan then looked at the extraordinary majestic mountain scenery. He also enjoyed the warm sunshine as his body felt in good spirits. If he could sing then he would definitely sing aloud. 

When Ryan was engrossed in enjoying the scenery, suddenly there was a scream from within.

"Brother Ryan help!"

Ivanka?

Ryan's heart clenched, he immediately ran towards the cave where the scream came from.

"Ivy, where are you?"

His voice echoed loudly in the cave but there was no answer at all. Luckily, Ivanka ran into him in the middle of the cave.

"Brother, look! There is a human skull inside!" Ivanka said with a pale face.

She was scared to death, the girl hugged Ryan tightly and was almost crying.

Ryan then tried to calm Ivanka down while looking in the direction his sister-in-law was pointing.

Previously, he did not have time to pay close attention to this cave because it was dark and he was also too preoccupied with the cold pool of water. He didn't think that this cave had any inhabitants.

With his super vision, he could see the skull just lying on the ground.

Frowning, Ryan slowly approached the skull.

It was seen leaning against the cave wall and was already covered in dust. According to his observations, Ryan estimated that the skull was at least decades old. Then he saw that there was a broken sword next to it.

Ryan walked closer and took the sword. But what surprised him were the objects behind the skull.

When he saw the rock, Ryan was shocked because he found that it was similar to a diamond! Not to mention that it gave off light and shone brightly. Was the source of the light he saw near the pool?

Seeing the broken skull and sword, Ryan concluded that this person seemed to know the secret of this cave and intended to retrieve it by himself. With his sword, he tried to take the diamond as much as possible.

But since he wanted to monopolize all the diamonds for himself, he was trapped and couldn't get out of this cave when the rope he had attached to the top was cut. 

"What is it, brother? Is there something strange?" Ivanka was still terrified to see what she'd just found.

"Nothing, it's just an ordinary human skull," Ryan said, trying to calm down.

After that, he found a short knife on the ground. After he cleaned the dust, Ryan flicked it softly.

The knife then gave a loud clink, showing that it was still strong and hadn't been worn by time. With the help of this knife, Ryan was sure he could use it to try to get out of this cave.

Ryan then sighed when he took a necklace lying next to the skull. It's sad to see someone die from chasing treasure like this. When he made it out of here, he would bury the necklace in honor of the deceased human.

After calming Ivanka one more time, Ryan then returned to the pool to cultivate once more.

He spent several days in this cave to absorb his mysterious power and strengthen his relationship with Ivanka.

After he soaked in, Ryan dived back to the bottom of the pool. Thanks to his power that's getting stronger, Ryan managed to dive deeper than before. Previously, cold temperatures made him hesitate to continue his journey.

Judging from the pattern, the temperature of this pool water would get colder as he dived deeper. But the water didn't freeze.

The deeper he dived, the faster his body absorbed the energy. It seemed that the cold aura contained in this pool could suppress the mysterious power within his body.
