Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1016: Tunnel of Testing (1)

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

Hah!?

What else happened, Le-Fu?

Everyone who had their heads down and focused on Guo-Dong raised their heads to look at Zheng-Fu at the same time after hearing him suddenly yell out.

"Nothing. It was just a water worm trying to crawl under my feet. But when I found it and was about to catch it, it used a dirty trick to escape!" Zheng-Fu did not want to tell the truth about the fact that he had found the mysterious person and almost caught him. So, he chose to make up a story to explain it instead.

Water worm?

"Is there something like that here?" Boon-Leng did not understand the meaning behind Zheng-Fu's words. So, he asked with a very puzzled expression.

"Why are you asking so much? Younger Brother Le-Fu said it existed, so it must have existed!" But Qiu-Zhen knew what Zheng-Fu wanted to convey. He was definitely talking about the person behind all of this, he just did not say it directly.

Umm!

And of course, Lu-Qun understood what Zheng-Fu said as well. So, he did not ask anything and looked in the direction Zheng-Fu was currently looking, before turning his attention back to Guo-Dong.

Half an hour passed...

Sigh!!!

Aaaah!!!

"It's a wonderful medicine! This must definitely be fifth or sixth-level medicine, right, Le-Fu!?"

After half an hour, Guo-Dong was finally able to heal most of his wounds and injuries with Zheng-Fu's medicine. He thought it must be at least the fifth-level medicine, or else he would not recover so quickly.

"Hmm! It's ninth-level medicine. Its results are not only good for treating injuries, but it also increases your energy. If you don't believe me, sit down and circulate energy. Then you'll know whether I'm telling the truth!" Zheng-Fu smiled mischievously before answering Guo-Dong with a calm face as if nothing had happened.

Hah!

Ninth-level medicine!

"You... you... you said it was ninth-level medicine? That's comparable to a city's magic item!" Guo-Dong completely forgot his injuries when he realized that he had just ingested ninth-level medicine, which was too precious for him to accept.

"So what!? Life is more important! Even if it was very precious or comparable to two cities, for me, the life of a comrade is always more important!"

This time, Zheng-Fu did not lie or make up stories to make himself look good. But he really spoke from his heart. To him, these things were just material. As long as he was not dead, he could get a new one at any time. But a person only had one life.

Umm!

Le-Fu!

Younger Brother Le-Fu!

Even though Zheng-Fu looked mysterious and strange in everyone's eyes before, his sentence that said 'the life of a comrade is always more important' made everyone feel very grateful and feel much better about him. They had thought that Zheng-Fu had come to them because he wanted something. But right now, they did not care who Zheng-Fu was or what he wanted from them. They were all ready to help him as best they could.

"Why is everyone giving such strange looks? Or is there something on my face?" Zheng-Fu saw that everyone's expressions were strange after he finished speaking. Out of curiosity, he asked to break up everyone's emotional atmosphere.

Ah!

"Not at all! Your face doesn't have anything on it. We look at you like that because we think you look like someone we once knew. Is that right, everyone?"

Yes!!!

That's right!

Guo-Dong was the first to regain consciousness and tried to change the topic so as not to make the atmosphere seem sad. And at the end of his sentence, he pulled everyone's consciousness back to the way they were before. And everyone understood and responded to him immediately.

Umm!

"Then we'll rest for another half hour. And in the meantime, I'm going to explore this area a bit. Jin-Tian will stay here to protect everyone in my place!" Zheng-Fu knew that the five of them were thinking about something. But he did not ask further when he saw that no one wanted to talk about it. He chose to excuse himself to explore the surrounding area and let the five recover their energy, with Jin-Tian as an escort.

Umm!

Thank you very much!

Be careful when you go out!

Good luck!

Hmm!

"Are you sure there's nothing? Everyone is acting strangely!" But before walking away, Zheng-Fu turned around and asked again with a serious face mixed with curiosity.

Nothing, you can go!

Umm!

After Zheng-Fu left the group, he immediately headed toward the spot where the mysterious person had been before.

Thump!

"If it weren't for what happened just now, I would probably have caught that bastard. But anyway, even if I can't catch him, at least I left the tracker on him. It won't be difficult to find him from now on!" Zheng-Fu arrived at his destination in a very short time. But when he arrived, he could not find anything out of the ordinary except coral, sand, small rocks, and some kind of debris under the white sand.

Huh!?

"What's this?"

Examining the debris for a moment, Zheng-Fu realized that this was no ordinary debris. So, he bent down and picked it up.

Blop!

Whooooosh!!!

Ah!

Magic item!?

The item in his hand looked like a simple shell, the size of his palm. But its surface was black and rough, like the surface of a rock. If anyone had not looked carefully, they would have thought it was an ordinary rock buried in the sand.

Shortly after touching it, Zheng-Fu could feel the intense energy wave and turbulent spirit within this rough black shell. That made him know that this shell was definitely a magic item.

"Or is it a treasure that that bastard dropped?" Zheng-Fu could not figure out how this treasure was there. But as he rethought about it, he remembered that the mysterious person who had dealt with them had been there. Therefore, this treasure might have belonged to that person.

"Regardless of who it belongs to, this treasure was indeed a Deity treasure. Hmm, consider it a consolation gift to me!"

After Zheng-Fu found the black shell, he found nothing else. So, he returned to his group, which was also the right time.

Thump!

Le-Fu, have you come back?

As soon as Zheng-Fu returned, everyone in the group greeted him with smiles because they had fully recovered their energy and were ready to continue their journey. Especially Guo-Dong, who looked like he had leveled up another level from the eighth level to the ninth level of the Deity Soul stage.

"I'm back! Shall we continue our journey now?" Zheng-Fu said, before asking them.

"We're ready. We're just waiting for you!" Guo-Dong replied, to which the others nodded in agreement.

"Then let's continue our journey. But this time, I'll let Jin-Tian take the lead, and I'll stay behind to prevent sneak attacks. Besides, all of you won't have to fight anymore. So as not to waste time on our journey!" Zheng-Fu nodded lightly before explaining the procession on the journey this time. He slightly changed the formation. Because he wanted to reach the finish line as quickly as possible, he kept everyone in the middle so that they did not have to fight. Only he and Jin-Tian would fight whoever attacked them.

Umm!

We understand!

After everyone saw Zheng-Fu's serious expression, no one dared to ask or object. They formed the formation as Zheng-Fu had told them and immediately set off at full speed.

Seven days passed, in a large underwater tunnel...

Don't come in!

Noooooooo!

Go out! Go away! Get away from me!

Kwaaaaaaack!

Bang!

Booooom!!!

Slash! Slash!

Booooom!!!

Screams and the sound of clashing metal could be heard throughout the deep-sea tunnel. This tunnel was the only route through to the finish line. But because inside the tunnel, there were a large number of Half-Deity stage and Deity Soul stage demon monster beasts gathered together. So, many great skilled masters were stuck there.

"It's hell here. Why are there so many demon monster beasts?"

"True! Uncle said that this tunnel isn't scary, right? So, what is this?"

"If it continues like this, we'll never survive. We must quickly find a solution!"

The group leaders who joined hands to fight together expressed their opinions in alarm. They could not understand why there were so many crazy demon monster beasts inside this tunnel. Plus, many of them were at the Half-Deity stage, even though they had only just reached the entrance to the tunnel.

"Le-Fu! Are we really going in? It's really scary!" Boon-Leng spoke up softly, asking Zheng-Fu's opinion. After watching the situation inside the tunnel, he could not help but feel goosebumps in fear.

"Anyway, we've to go in. Because it is the only way to the finish line." Zheng-Fu replied without hesitation because he had already asked Jin-Tian if there was another route. Jin-Tian said that this was the only route to the finish line.

Umm!

"Don't be afraid, Boon-Leng! We have Younger Brother Le-Fu and his little comrade. After all, we'll be able to pass through this tunnel!" Qiu-Zhen interjected to console Boon-Leng. But in reality, he wanted to console himself.

"As Qiu-Zhen said. I'm with you all, don't worry. Come on! We should go inside now. And everyone must not fall out of line!" Zheng-Fu turned to answer the two of them. Before he told everyone to enter the tunnel right away. Because if they still stayed there, it would not be of any benefit.

Umm!

Since there really was no other route, Zheng-Fu and his group decided to enter the tunnel and risk fighting those demon monster beasts. Including anyone who wanted to have a problem with them.

Yaaaaak!!!

"How about you take this and eat some!"

Whoosh!

Booooom!!!

Kwaaaaaaack!

"Dammit! That just makes him angrier. Look! He called for more of them, you see!?"

"I'm sorry! I saw that he was seriously injured. I just wanted to help!"

"Help!? If you really want to help, then go in and be bait for us!"

Kwaaaaaaack!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Snatch!

Arrrrrgh!

My arm! My arm!

As time passed, the battle became fiercer. And the number of corpses increased as well. Because the demon monster beasts seemed to keep coming out from inside the cave. It was as if this tunnel were a black hole with no end.

Whooooosh!!!

Booooom!!!

Whoosh!!!

Booooom!!!

However, the multitude of demon monster beasts that were blocking the path suddenly exploded into blood droplets in the blink of an eye as the sword waves swept through the sea from a group of people.

What happened?!

Whose action is this!?
