Chapter 1017: Tunnel of Testing (2)
Chapter 1017: Tunnel of Testing (2)
This incident greatly attracted the attention of the other great skilled masters in the tunnel. Because with just the attack of only the two of them, more than ten demon monster beasts disappeared into the blood mist. Also, those who died were at the Most advanced Deity Soul stage and Half-Deity stage.
"Look at that! It was an attack from their group!"
Hah!
"That's the group that came to take over the area from the big group before the ceremony started!"
Umm!
That's right!
Yes, it's really them!
"Liang, what do you think?" a group leader with more than a hundred members turned and shouted at another group leader with a serious expression.
"No matter who they are, they can open a way for us. We should go after them now!" The young man named Liang turned around and replied. He thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity.
"And what if they refuse?"
"If they don't give in, we're just harassing them. If we can't go, they must not go!" Liang said, releasing his full killing intent. He did not care what would happen. If he could not go, no one else could go either.
Umm!
When the two young men agreed to follow that group, which was Zheng-Fu's group, they ordered the people in their own group to gather together and head in the direction of that group immediately.
"Le-Fu, it seems like someone has followed us!" Guo-Dong shouted to Zheng-Fu after he saw a big group of people had begun to follow them.
"Let them follow! After all, the path will be closed soon!" Zheng-Fu did not pay any attention to those people at all. He knew well that the path he penetrated would soon be filled with demon monster beasts like before.
Umm!
Kwaaaaaaack!!!
And suddenly it was as Zheng-Fu had said. In just a few moments, that empty space was blocked by the surrounding demon monster beasts, rushing in until the area was completely filled.
Fatuous!
"The path is closed again! What should we do, Liang?" The young man shouted to Liang anxiously.
"Go in! As long as we can clear the way and catch up with them. That's enough!" But Liang was still determined to break through. Because the distance between them and Zheng-Fu's group was not that far. So, he had everyone grit their teeth and continue fighting.
"Then we take it that way!"
"Everyone, fight with all you might!"
Yaaaaaa!
Although breaking through such a large horde of demon monster beasts to follow Zheng-Fu's group would be difficult, all great skilled masters in the group still dared to fight. Because if they could pass through this tunnel, they would pass the test and receive worthwhile rewards.
Of course, the actions of these two large groups naturally attracted the attention of other groups who were fighting. And when every group knew the goals of these two groups, their group leaders also began giving orders to their subordinates.
Everyone, follow them!
Yaaaaaaa!
Shortly, many great skilled masters flocked to one place, forming a large group. That made the efficiency of clearing out the demon monster beasts even better. And fewer of the members of each group died. Because every group helped to get rid of the demon monster beast that they had to face.
Two shichens passed...
Booooom!!!
Kwaaaaaaack!!!
After two shichens had passed, the number of over a thousand great skilled masters had only half remaining. As for the demon monster beasts' side, the number had also greatly decreased. However, the dead demon monster beasts were only low-level ones. Almost all those at the Half-Deity stage and advanced Deity Soul stage remain.
As for Zheng-Fu's group, they were now able to pass through all the demon monster beasts that came their way without any problems. His group then grew distant from the others who had come to participate in the test. Until they almost could not see each other.
"Master, after this area, there are no more demon monster beast hordes, sir!" Jin-Tian said. This meant that they would be able to continue their journey easily.
"Even without the monster beast hordes, we still can't relax. Everyone still needs to be careful. Maybe the one waiting for us is stronger than all the ones we've encountered!" But Zheng-Fu did not let his guard down yet. Because he felt that the real test would begin from now on.
Hah!?
"Is there another one stronger than the Half-Deity stage?" Boon-Leng could not help but exclaim in shock and worry. The ones at the Half-Deity stage were already very scary. If Zheng-Fu said there were higher-level ones, then they had to be at the Deity stage.
"If that's the case, how were those who entered earlier able to pass the test?" Guo-Dong could not imagine how those who had passed the test before could pass the Deity stage. Even if they were as high as the Half-Deity stage, they would not be able to fight against those at the Deity stage.
"That's because the previous tests didn't involve me." Zheng-Fu did not know if it had anything to do with his participation in the test. But from what he observed, this tunnel should not have had such a large horde of demon monster beasts, so he thought it might be because of him.
Because of you!?
Of course, Zheng-Fu's words made everyone very curious. They could not figure out what it had to do with Zheng-Fu. But even though everyone wanted to know, no one thought of asking.
"Come on! If this is really because of me, I'll rush to send you guys to the finish line as quickly as possible. And for everyone's safety, try not to get separated from the group!" Zheng-Fu replied with a shrug before making a serious face and telling everyone not to stay away from him.
Umm!
Of course, no one dared to break away from the group. Because if anyone did that, the only fate that awaited him was death.
Another half hour passed...
Whoosh!!!
Booooom!!!
"This is the last group, Master!"
Umm!
"Then let's hurry to continue. We've to take advantage of the empty path like this…"
Whooooosh!!!
Hah!?
But as Zheng-Fu was speaking, a small blue-green light beam suddenly appeared in front of him. Before it grew bigger and bigger until it was the size of Zheng-Fu's body.
What's that light beam!?
Master, be careful!
Le-Fu!
Before everyone knew what this blue-green light beam was, it quickly rushed toward Zheng-Fu and reached him in a matter of seconds. And as it collided with his body, Zheng-Fu disappeared from everyone's sight.
Master!
Le-Fu!!!
"Where did Le-Fu go? Where has he gone?"
As everyone regained consciousness, shouts filled with panic and concern rang out loudly. Jin-Tian, in particular, was the most nervous. He had a bad expression on his face. Because he was determined to protect Zheng-Fu with his life. But in the end, he could not do anything.
Thump!
Hah!
But at that moment, Jin-Tian suddenly felt Zheng-Fu's presence. He knew through the bond he and Zheng-Fu had that Zheng-Fu was not dead at this time. He just went somewhere.
"Master, no matter what happens, I'll always trust you. I'll wait for you to come back. And during this time, I'll take care of these people until they reach their destination!" Jin-Tian remembered Zheng-Fu's orders precisely. He was confident and believed that Zheng-Fu would return. Therefore, he had to do his best right now.
"Little Brother Jin-Tian, what should we do next?" Xi-Dian turned to Jin-Tian and asked with an expectant face. She felt the same as Jin-Tian. She thought Zheng-Fu was not dead yet. He was just sent to another place for his test.
"Master may now be entering his true test. Therefore, we should do our part to pass this test. Then we'll wait for Master to return!" Even though Jin-Tian was in the body of a boy, his consciousness and thoughts had matured. He was able to speak and make the surrounding atmosphere credible.
Umm!
Jin-Tian's words made everyone's faces brighten quite a bit. And so that what Zheng-Fu had done for them would not go to waste, they all decided to move on.
Come to Zheng-Fu...
Whooooosh!!!
Thump!
Huh!
"Where is this?"
After Zheng-Fu was sucked in by the blue-green beam, it soon sent him out again to a new place. The place where he appeared was a large cave on land (a cave with breathable air) with no exit or walkway. This cave only had a large greenish-black rock in the center, and around this rock were many golden crystals of various sizes.
Groooaaan!!!
You... you've arrived!
Ah!
While Zheng-Fu was looking around inside the cave to survey, the ground suddenly shook slightly before a man's voice that sounded old and ancient sounded from the direction of the large rock. When he turned to look, he saw that a large turtle head was protruding from the rock.
"Are you the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity?" Zheng-Fu was not sure whether the other party was the last Monster Deity, so he asked carefully.
"Yes, it's... it's me!" the ancient voice replied slowly.
"Respect, Emerald Turtle Monster Deity! By the way, why is your body like that? And your colors are strange too. You must be emerald green, mustn't you?" Zheng-Fu frowned suspiciously because the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity's appearance he saw was not dignified at all.
"Hmm... I might... be like that, but now I have impurity and am about to... die!" Emerald Turtle Monster Deity briefly explained slowly.
Have impurity!?
"Or is it because of the golden crystals surrounding you?" Zheng-Fu suddenly remembered what the mysterious man, calling himself the Great Master, wanted. And to confirm his thought, he asked directly.
"Yes..."
"Then can I help you with something?" Zheng-Fu nodded in understanding and offered. After all, the reason he came here was to take the last Monster Deity's will. Therefore, the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity should give him a test.
"You... you come in... take over from me! Before I... disappear!" Emerald Turtle Monster Deity tried to use words to call Zheng-Fu to him so that he could give him a test. But because he did not have much energy left, some words were missing.
Umm!
"I'll do as you wish!" Even though Zheng-Fu did not fully trust the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity, he still chose to do as the other party said by walking closer to his head.
"Put your hand... on my head!"
Blop!
Whooooosh!!!
Arrrrrrrgh!!!
Thud!
