Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1015: You Can Escape, But Don't Let Me Catch You

After Guo-Dong explained the quest they had received, Zheng-Fu waited for a while to see what his quest would be. But no matter how long he waited, he was not informed about his test.

'What happened? Why don't I receive my quest?' Zheng-Fu was very surprised that he did not receive any test from the last Monster Deity. There was not even any notification.

'Or is this not the Turtle Monster Deity's secret land? No, it shouldn't be like that! I felt it before I came in. It definitely has to be here. But why? Or something has happened to the last Monster Deity?' Zheng-Fu began to think harder about this anomaly. He was sure that this was definitely a secret land created by the Turtle Monster Deity.

Le-Fu!

Le-Fu!

Hah!?

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so absent-minded?" Xi-Dian wondered what had happened to Zheng-Fu. Because he suddenly acted strangely and just stood there silently, not saying anything.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking of a plan to get us to the finish line." Zheng-Fu could not tell the truth. So, he had to make up a story to tell her.

Umm!

"So, what is your plan? It's good to hurry up a bit. Right now, we're the last group and haven't gone anywhere. If we delay any longer, we won't pass the test for sure." Boon-Leng was very anxious that they remained in the same place without going anywhere, while the other groups had already left for a while. He was afraid that their group would not be able to pass the test.

"Why are you worried, Boon-Leng? After all, we came here because of the golden crystal. Just finding a lot of them and taking them out to receive rewards from the Great Master, then we are considered successful and have passed the test, right?" But Qiu-Zhen thought differently. He did not care about becoming one of the top hundred. Instead, he chose to focus on finding the golden crystals. Because if he could find a large amount of golden crystals, he would have a chance of receiving an energy-boosting pill that would allow him to break through to the Deity Stage.

"It's as right as you said, Qiu-Zhen. But do you know how to find golden crystals? Maybe it could only be found by those who had passed the test. Because there's a possibility that those who passed the test would be able to continue to stay inside this land or have access to the locations where the golden crystals were," Lu-Qun, who had been silent for a long time, commented.

Ah!

Lu-Qun's words made Zheng-Fu think of something. He immediately tried to speculate about whether it was possible that he had to pass this test before he could receive the true test of the last Monster Deity.

"Then we should rush to our destination. But first, let me call for an assistant!" Zheng-Fu had already decided that he would reach the finish line first. So, he called Jin-Tian out to help. Because Jin-Tian had various abilities. Plus, he also had a keen sense of Monster Deities.

Hah!?

Assistant!?

"Jin-Tian!"

Flap!

"I'm here, sir, Master!"

As soon as Zheng-Fu's voice ended, the figure of a white-haired little boy suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. Jin-Tian had already created an air curtain, so he was not affected by his breathing underwater.

Human kid!?

The five people all stared at Jin-Tian in shock and amazement, unable to speak.

"Is he human, Le-Fu? Where did he come from?" Xi-Dian was very curious, so she asked while staring at Jin-Tian without looking away.

"He's not human. It's just that he's in the human body. As for where he came from, I cannot tell you. But what I can tell you is that he's very strong. He'll help us reach the finish line without any harm. And maybe get there before the others!" Zheng-Fu answered Xi-Dian with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. But he could not tell her where Jin-Tian came from.

Oh!

Of course, Xi-Dian did not bother to ask further. Because she knew that Zheng-Fu had made it a rule from the beginning not to ask anything. Just him telling her this was already good enough, so she chose to keep quiet and not ask anything. As well as the others, they did not think of asking further.

"All right! We've wasted too much time, and we should leave now. Jin-Tian, help lead the way as you see fit!"

"Yes, sir, Master!"

Zheng-Fu knew that some time had already passed, so he asked Jin-Tian to lead the way. By letting Jin-Tian choose and decide which way they should go. The direction that Jin-Tian chose first was the same as the other people who had already departed in advance.

Two shichens passed...

Floof!

Slash!

Kwaaaaack!

Thump!

"So crazy! Why did the demon monster beasts come out and attack us like this? They don't seem to be attacking other groups. Or have we done something wrong?"

"Talk a lot, Boon-Leng! You should use your hands more than your mouth. Complaining like this can't kill them!"

After traveling for more than two shichens, they had already encountered no less than ten hordes of crazy demon monster beasts within this secret land. And every horde that attacked them numbered two hundred or more. Plus, all of them were also at the advanced Deity Soul stage. And what was even more surprising was that these demon monster beasts only attacked them, even though there were other groups nearby, they did not pay any attention.

"It seems like someone is hoaxing us!" Zheng-Fu suddenly felt someone's eyes staring at him. And that person accidentally released the killing intent for a moment. That was when Zheng-Fu knew that someone was playing a dirty trick on them.

Hah!?

"Are you saying that the demon monster beast hordes attacked us because someone made it, right?"

Xi-Dian, who was fighting cautiously, asked. She also thought that this matter was too strange. It was unlikely that they were the only group being attacked when there were so many other groups present.

"I can't fully confirm it yet. But I think someone must have used a mind control-type magic item or used this type of skill to control these hordes of demon monster beasts to attack us. And of course, that person must have an energy level no lower than the Half-deity stage!" Zheng-Fu did not dare to state confidently. But he thought there was more than a fifty percent chance that this was the case. To relieve his doubts, he had secretly released a manipulative doll that looked like him to the location where he had just now sensed the killing intent without anyone knowing.

"Whether it is or not! If we continue to fight like this, we'll definitely die of exhaustion before reaching the finish line," Guo-Dong appealed because he was already very tired. They had not rested yet because they had to rush their way to catch up with the others who had preceded them.

"Then everyone should take a break. Let Jin-Tian deal with them!" Zheng-Fu did not let Jin-Tian fight in the first place. Because he wanted the five to better balance their newly promoted energy. But when he saw that everyone could not take it anymore, he gave everyone a break and let Jin-Tian fight instead.

Let him fight instead of us?!

Of course, everyone seemed disbelieving and unsure of letting Jin-Tian fight for them. Because throughout their journey, Jin-Tian had never shown any fighting ability. He was only acting as a guide, so they thought Jin-Tian was more capable of tracking.

"Don't look down on him. Otherwise, you all will regret it!" Zheng-Fu did not want to explain much. He just told everyone to be confident in Jin-Tian.

Ah!

'Jin-Tian, lower your energy level down to just the Half-Deity stage, somewhere close to the Deity stage,' Zheng-Fu secretly sent a voice message to Jin-Tian.

"Yes, sir, Master!"

Jin-Tian nodded lightly to Zheng-Fu before he turned to face the battlefield, where Guo-Dong was fighting demon monster beasts. He then lowered the energy level as Zheng-Fu had told him and exploded the energy.

Hah!?

Ha... Half... Half-Deity stage!?

Jin-Tian's energy explosion caused the five to stop their clashes and turn to look at him with astonishment.

But at the moment, everyone turned around...

Kwaaaaack!

Boon-Leng, watch your back!

Whoosh!

Slash! Slash!

Stab!

Ah!

Guo-Dong!!!

Hah!?

A crazy demon monster beast near Boon-Leng attacked him from behind. Guo-Dong turned to see and rushed in to push Boon-Leng away in time. However, he was unable to escape its attack and was stabbed in the chest by a sharp horn, close to the heart.

You damned beasts!

Arrrrrrrgh!!!

Boooooom!!! Boooooom!!! Boooooom!!!

Kwaaaaack! Kwaaaaack! Kwaaaaack!

At the same time, Zheng-Fu, who had been paying attention to the mysterious person who might be the mastermind of the crazy demon monster beast hordes, turned back and witnessed the moment Guo-Dong was stabbed. He was extremely angry and exploded his Deity stage's energy to destroy all the hordes of crazy demon monster beasts here in one swift motion.

Hah!

Le-Fu!!!

"What energy level is this? Why is it so terrifying and violent?" Lu-Qun froze when he felt the energy waves that Zheng-Fu unleashed. Even though he was not affected, it made his legs tremble, and fear arose in his heart.

Of course, it was not just Lu-Qun alone. Everyone nearby thought the same thing. Because even people who were hundreds of lis away could feel Zheng-Fu's intense and frightening energy.

Thump!

"How are you?" Zheng-Fu calmed himself down before rushing towards Guo-Dong, who was now bleeding profusely from his mouth. Including the spot where it was stabbed.

"Elder Brother Guo-Dong! Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm..." Xi-Dian rushed toward her elder brother with concern as well.

"I'm all right! It's just that the wound was too deep and severed my aorta. But luckily, it didn't stab me right in the heart. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't survive. But I apologize for not being able to follow you guys anymore. With an injury like this, I'll be a burden to you all!" Even though his wound was very serious, he pretended that there was nothing to worry about. But in reality, the horn had pierced his heart slightly. That was why he was bleeding so much.

"Take this medicine! And you must not circulate any kind of energy during this time. Wait for the wound to heal with the medicine's effects and then start circulating the energy again!" Zheng-Fu examined Guo-Dong's condition and found that it was still at a stage where it could be cured by his medicine. Therefore, he took out a healing medicine for Guo-Dong to consume, including explaining how to use it.

Hah!

"Thank you... Augh!"

Elder Brother Guo-Dong!

"No more talking. Hurriedly take it!"

Gulp!

"You can escape, but don't let me catch you!"

Hah!?
