1498 Trial of Power(20)
Chapter 1498: Trial of Power(20)
The guards of the Heles Kingdom stood guard near the boundary of the labyrinth all the time, and they were elitist of the elites, with even the weakest guard being a Level 3.
The guards were stationed as usual when there was a sudden movement at the entry point. They immediately sheathed their weapons, ready to attack at a moment's notice.
Thud!
A white light flashed, and a crashing sound rang in the area. The guards immediately surrounded the being. One of the three guards was stationed at the labyrinth when Huo Jinglin rescued the prince, so he recognized the bloody man as Huo Jinglin.
The guard had heard that the savior had suddenly disappeared from the room but never expected Huo Jinglin to be there.
Huo Jinglin wasn't unconscious like the last time, so he called out to the prince. The guard who recognized him talked immediately with the other guards and then returned to report to the higher authority.
Time flew by, and around an hour later, the prince himself came to meet him.
The last time, the prince had failed to thank Huo Jinglin, so once the prince heard about Huo Jinglin, he immediately rushed to the scene.
Huo Jinglin's injury had slightly recovered, so he could walk without much pain. He immediately greeted the prince once he saw him. Since Huo Jinglin had carried the prince to safety, he easily recognized him.

"I didn't expect you to be my fortune star." The prince stated in surprise when he saw the locked box in Huo Jinglin's hands.
Huo Jinglin simply smiled in response to that and passed the box to the prince. He didn't take the prince's words to heart since it was clearly mentioned on the challenge screen that if he took the item for himself, the prince would become his enemy.
Click!
The prince didn't say anything else and immediately took the box from Huo Jinglin. He then transferred some of his energy, and the box opened with a clicking sound.
As soon as the item inside the box was revealed, a beautiful melody rang in the room. Huo Jinglin couldn't help but feel calm hearing that.
Immediately after that, Huo Jinglin felt his body becoming out of control, and he stood in front of the tree in the sea of consciousness. His body suddenly trembled since the last experience he had with the tree was still present in his memory.
The last time he came here, Huo Jinglin ate a fruit, resulting in his body getting possessed by a powerful being. He decided not to try to pluck a fruit again, but unfortunately for him, his desire got out of control, forcing him to extend his right hand and pluck a second fruit.
Before he could come around, Huo Jinglin had taken a large bite of the fruit. Immediately, an explosion of liquid happened in his mouth, and an expression of pleasure appeared on his face. In just a few bites, Huo Jinglin had devoured the entirety of the fruit.
When he came around, a look of shock and fear spread across his face since the deed he was dreading the most had already been done.
The next moment, he was thrown out of his sea of consciousness as if it were controlled by someone else. When he returned to the room, he felt white smoke rising from his body.
Huo Jinglin couldn't help but feel happy, and it was an instinctive feeling. It seemed like whatever tried to possess him couldn't do so at his residence.
Fortunately for him, his thought turned out to be correct, and a few moments later, a silhouette of a living being formed above Huo Jinglin. It had a frightened expression and immediately tried to escape.
Unfortunately for it, before it could even reach the door, the white smoke had fully dissipated.
