Chapter 663 Golden Dreamland

Su asked in a whisper, "Is she asleep?"

Gabriel nodded and carried Jade to the blanket to adjust her to a more comfortable sleeping position.

"The time cannot be seen in the Red King's Mausoleum, but it should be very late now. Everyone should rest. I will patrol."

Tirzad squatted not far away in a depressed mood. His mind was in a mess, full of resentment towards Gabriel, and mixed feelings towards Jade.

The traveling team chose a corner sheltered from the wind. The three of them looked at each other and sighed together.

"It's so complicated," Paimon concluded. "This is not something we should or can manage."

Kong: "Give them some time to calm down." He would go out and deal with the guys outside later.

He didn't like the situation where there was an assassin outside lurking around with unknown intentions.

Su looked at the gold coins and gems on the ground and said, "How about putting that idiot in later and pushing him onto the gold coins to try?"

Let's use that thing to see if the treasure is safe.

If it is safe, their travel team will make a fortune. If it is not safe, then there is no loss.

Paimon frowned and changed the subject, "Everyone is so tired, let's take a good rest first."

Su and Kong looked at each other, then obeyed and closed their eyes to rest.

The situation took a turn for the worse a few hours later. Jade disappeared and Sameer's arrogant voice was heard outside the door.

Su opened the door with a gloomy face. Samel was holding Jade hostage, with a scimitar at the neck of the bruised and battered Jade.

Jade: "Sorry, Dad, I underestimated his insidiousness." She never expected that Samel used poison to control a large number of Fatui to obey him.

While Gabriel was on patrol, she asked Benben to open another passage to seek revenge. However, what she faced was not one enemy, but a group of enemies.

Sameer praised Jade's ability, "I didn't expect that the weak Gabriel and the frail Yufei could give birth to such an excellent child. I kind of regret killing Yufei."

Gabriel clenched his weapon. "I used Tirzad and them so that you could reach Akhmar's throne. Return Jade to me, and we will owe each other nothing."

Sameer laughed loudly, "Anyone can sit on the empty throne. An unqualified mediocre person will not become noble just by sitting on the throne!"

Sameer stopped laughing and said sinisterly, "The prayer that Yufei cracked is the key! Tell me the prayer!"

"The stars rise above the wasteland..." Gabriel recited the song he had sung to Jade since he was a child.

Su opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Isn't this..."

Kong nodded and pulled Su and Paimon out of the way.

Samel held Jade hostage and came to the throne unhindered. After pushing Jade away, Samel repeated the prayer on the throne.

Gabriel caught Jade, and Su's golden crossbow hit Samel, and Samel sat on the throne with a big hole on his forehead.

Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief. "Regarding Akhmar's promise, Youfei once made this speculation—"

"Those who offer the correct prayers to Akhmar will be allowed to enter the Golden Dream, but it will be a one-way journey."

"No one can freely travel between the Red King's eternal dreamland and the living world. In other words, Samel is dead."

Sora understood, "No wonder you stopped us from touching Achmar's throne before."

Su felt that Chi Wang was a really sinister guy!

The Red King and the Grass Dragon agreed to give her his body after his death, but it turned out that he used the Grass Dragon as a safety device!

He made an agreement with humans to go to the Golden Dreamland to obtain his abilities and wisdom, but in the end, no one who went there could come back!

He will never suffer any loss and will never let anyone take advantage of him.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, darkness came like a tide.

Sameer's voice sounded from the void, {Ahmar's power... is now ours!}

The black tide encroached towards everyone, and everything it passed by was pulled into the space of consciousness.

Sensing extreme danger, Kong reacted quickly and grabbed Su and Paimon, and then contacted Gabriel and the others to teleport. However, the venation here seemed to be full of anomalies and blocked by unknown forces.

"Run!" Kong reminded Gabriel loudly, "Don't touch the black tide!"

Kong pulled Su and Paimon and ran towards the outside of the Red King's Mausoleum. Gabriel also pulled the injured Jade and carried Tirzad to follow him.

{Thutmose's wish...will be fulfilled by us.}

Sameer's voice appears along with multiple human voices.

Gabriel reacted quickly, "I underestimated his determination! It seems that he has maintained himself in the torrent and wants to use the power of Akhmar to devour us as well..."

{Insects...don't even think about leaving! Don't even think about taking the secret away...}

The gates at various locations in the Red King's Mausoleum fell heavily, and just like every time before, all the lives that reached the Red King's Mausoleum were left in the golden dreamland forever.

Another stone door fell down, blocking everyone's escape. Chisha Slate and Benben were unable to open the door with higher authority.

Su took out several bouncing bombs, but couldn't quickly blow open the nearly two-meter-thick stone door. She took out the golden crossbow instead and fired armor-piercing bullets at one point.

The shadow of the black tide was chasing after them. Jade glanced at the people around her, gritted her teeth, and turned to face the black tide. "It's my fault, Dad. I'm going to the Eternal Dream to stop him!"

However, it was Gabriel who moved faster than her, "I promised Youfei to protect you, and I also promised to protect Tirzad until everything is over."

"Dad! Dad!!!"

Gabriel plunged into the black tide, and in the space of consciousness as dark as the starry sky, he saw the figure of Samel.

This vicious, cruel, persistent and desperate man has temporarily become the dominant one in the vast sea of consciousness.

Countless voices, together with Sameer, urged him to fall asleep, and for a moment, Gabriel almost forgot who he was.

But somewhere he heard a girl's heart-wrenching voice, and Gabriel suddenly woke up.

The black tide that had stopped in its original place was shaking violently, as two powerful consciousnesses were fighting for dominance.

In the end, Gabriel achieved a temporary victory. The closed stone door of the Red King's Mausoleum opened, revealing a life path.

{Jade, I'm sorry, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself... You won't forgive me, after all, this is the first time I broke my promise to you.}

{There are many voices here. I seem to hear Yufei's voice, she is humming a ballad from her hometown.}

{Her soft curly hair, and innocent smile... those memories I wanted to share with you, now I can hardly tell whether they are mine... or "our" memories...}

{I’m sorry…I have to leave you behind and reunite with Yufei early…}

Gabriel's voice gradually faded away. Seeing the black tide surge again and the gate shaking, Tirzad pulled Jade up with all his strength, "Let's go! Don't let his sacrifice go to waste!"
