Chapter 2344

Especially considering the fact that her combat power had greatly decreased after sustaining severe injuries. Even with the healing pills, it would take several hours to fully recover to her peak state. During this period, she could not afford any more injuries. Otherwise, it would only worsen her condition and potentially risk foundational damage. Callie felt a sense of urgency at the thought of the potential pursuers. She was well aware that with her injuries, even if she managed to escape, the Burke disciples would likely catch up soon. Thus, the only viable option was to travel with Severin to ensure her safety. 'Ugh, this treasure map is more like a curse than a stroke of good luck!' thought Callie. After pondering for a few moments, she made a decision. "You guessed it right. The reason why the Burkes were after me is because they wanted the treasure map I have on me," said Callie bitterly. She slowly recounted how she accidentally acquired the treasure map from a corpse of a Burke disciple during her entry into the Starry Sky Battlespace. After listening to her story, Severin was somewhat surprised. Callie indeed had quite the luck to stumble upon a treasure map while simply walking around. After the initial surprise, Severin became somewhat puzzled. What kind of treasure could be in that map that would make the Burkes pursue Callie relentlessly? Even if it were a seventh-grade herb or a rare material like metal Uru, such items might not be considered true treasures in the eyes of the Burkens with their profound background. However, after observing the determination in Hector and Linden's pursuit of Callie, Severin speculated that whatever was hidden in the treasure map held significant importance for the Burkes. When Callie finished her story, she noticed a flicker of interest on Severin's face. She breathed a sigh of relief because her safety was assured as long as Severin showed interest. She was confident that Severin could ultimately defeat whoever the Burkes sent to hunt her down with his formidable combat power. "Severin, I don't mind sharing the treasure map with you, but you must ensure my safety. At the very least, you cannot let the Burke disciples succeed in capturing me!" Severin was delighted that Callie was actively seeking cooperation. "Where's the treasure map? Let me take a look." Callie immediately felt a pang of frustration when she heard that. "Are you outta your mind? You haven't even promised to protect me, and you're already asking for the treasure map!" "The Burkes will be here soon. We don't have much time," replied Severin impatiently, thinking that Callie still had not fully grasped the urgency of their situation. "Huh. In any case, it's just an opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities in this vast starry skies. One more or one less won't make much difference, will it?" added Severin indifferently. The fact that he had not forcefully seized the treasure map was already showing considerable respect to the Marvair Sect. Callie felt a sudden annoyance at Severin's rudeness. As the saintwoman of the Marvair Sect, she was accustomed to being treated with utmost respect in Southsky. In fact, she had never been treated so rudely by a man. She mentally cursed at Severin for being a boorish money-grubber! However, she was reminded of the new batch of pursuers, so she reluctantly took out an ancient-looking map from her spatial ring and threw it to Severin. "There, take it!"
