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.
