Suddenly.
For Li Daode, things were looking grim. He realized that someone had grabbed his collar, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Senior, spare me!"
He couldn't see who was holding him.
After all, for someone to overpower him so effortlessly, they had to be an expert.
Calling them 'Senior' seemed like the safest option.
"Oh, it's you."
Lin Fan was surprised. He hadn't expected the one digging underground to be Li Daode. They hadn't seen each other in a long time, but to find out he was surviving in the Forbidden Land? Truly, humans die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food—danger is just a trivial matter if there's treasure to be gained.
At first, Li Daode was nearly scared to the point of wetting himself. His heart screamed, "My life ends here! The treasure's still unused."
But as soon as he heard Lin Fan's voice, he breathed a sharp sigh of relief.
"Ah, it's Fellow Daoist Lin!"
