Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1039: Hidden Evil Plan (2)

"But that monster beast still..."

"There's no 'but' whatsoever! Choose, you'll go inside or I'll kill you all!"

A young man tried to argue against entering the cave now. But the middle-aged man suddenly changed his smiling expression to an evil one as he shouted with a change in tone and words.

Hah!

"I'll speak for the last time. If you guys don't go in, you'll die!" The middle-aged man's expression became even more cruel when he saw that no one had moved into the cave yet. He also took out a shiny double-edged sword with a beautiful appearance and pointed it at the group of newcomers.

Yes, sir!

"Let's go inside, Yun!" Zheng-Fu was the first to interrupt, asking Yun-Xiang-Kong to go inside with him. Because even if he were outside, it would not be of any use. After all, he came here because he was curious. And when there was an opportunity to enter, he should not refuse.

"Are you really going to go inside, Zheng-Fu?" Yun-Xiang-Kong did not expect Zheng-Fu to say such a thing. But when he saw Zheng-Fu's expression and serious eyes, he knew that Zheng-Fu was not joking. "All right! I'll go with you. We have nothing to lose. Maybe we can survive if we go inside!" Before he decided to follow Zheng-Fu inside.

Then I'll go too!

Me too!

Soon, all the people who were hesitating decided to venture into the cave. Because if they stayed there, they would only be killed by the middle-aged man. Therefore, it was better to risk going into the cave.

"Good! You made a very good decision. Then you guys can go in now. Before that bear knew!" The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction. He knew that using force would be more effective than using words. But even so, this method should be saved for last.

The group of newcomers quickly followed Zheng-Fu, who was running ahead before the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast realized. And it only took them a moment to enter the cave without the Earth Armored Bear paying attention.

Five minutes passed in the cave hallway, five hundred meters from the entrance of the cave...

"That's crazy! Why are we so unlucky? That bastard said it was an easy job. Is this easy? Bastard! Whenever I get stronger, I definitely won't let it go!" When Yun-Xiang-Kong saw that he was in a safe area, he did not hesitate to scold the middle-aged man in displeasure for forcing them to enter. He wanted to curse harder and louder. But he did not know what was in the cave, so he kept his voice low as if he were only talking to himself.

"So what do we do next? Should we go deeper in?" a middle-aged woman with an ordinary, not very pretty face asked with a worried expression. Even though she was a woman, her energy level was already at the third level of the Deity Apprentice stage, equal to Yun-Xiang-Kong. She was considered to be a person with quite a bit of talent.

"That's right! Should we continue exploring inside? Or are you going to wait here and see what the situation outside is like?" A middle-aged man walked out and asked everyone's opinion as well. He probably had the highest energy level in the group. Because he was at the fourth level of the Deity Apprentice stage

...................................?

No one answered the two people's questions. Everyone stood silently and bowed their heads. Because right now they feel very demoralized. They used to think that when they arrived in Deity Land, they would live well. No one thought that they would have to encounter something like this. Therefore, the remaining people could only remain silent and not say anything.

"Zheng-Fu, what are you going to do next? Shall we go inside further? If you have any good plans, please tell us. I know you can help us get out!" Yun-Xiang-Kong began to feel that Zheng-Fu was extraordinary. So, he thought that Zheng-Fu might be able to help them. Because Zheng-Fu did not seem worried about this situation at all.

"I'll continue to explore inside. As for those who are afraid, stay here for now. Because this is probably the safest place in this cave. You can be sure that the bear won't come to you. And those people won't be able to enter. But you guys won't be able to leave either!" Zheng-Fu did not have any plans to save these people right now. Because he wanted to go inside and explore. And he did not force anyone to go in with him. What he could say was that the area that everyone was in right now would be safe.

Hah!

Many people were in disbelief and shocked by Zheng-Fu's words. Because he looked the youngest and had the weakest energy level in the group. However, Yun-Xiang-Kong, the middle-aged woman, and the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier thought differently. They felt that Zheng-Fu's words were very convincing and firm. It was as if they were the words of a Grandmaster who had experienced a lot in the world.

"Then I'll go with you!" Yun-Xiang-Kong did not hesitate to go with Zheng-Fu. He knew that staying there would be safe, but he still chose to go.

"I'll go with you too," the middle-aged woman said, walking out and asking to go along.

"I'll go too! I hope you don't mind me accompanying you!" the middle-aged man who felt confident in Zheng-Fu asked to go along as well.

"It's up to you. I don't have any problems." Zheng-Fu just nodded lightly before turning and continuing to walk deeper into the cave.

After the four of them disappeared into the cave, the remaining people gathered together to help each other in case something happened.

Drip! Drip! Drip!

When walking deeper into the cave, they could hear the sound of water dripping onto the ground more and more clearly. And finally, they found the cause of the water droplets.

"Wow! This is a stalactite. They look so beautiful!" the middle-aged woman said with sparkling eyes. She liked seeing these stalactites.

"Yes! It's very beautiful, especially when the water drops hit the rocks below. It makes me feel incredibly relaxed!" Yun-Xiang-Kong thought the same thing as the middle-aged woman. Because when he looked at the water drops as they fell, it made his mind feel strangely calm.

"Or are these water droplets from the stalactites magic item?" The middle-aged man seemed to come up with something. He thought that these stalactites and water drops were magic items.

Magic items!

The middle-aged man's words made the middle-aged woman and Yun-Xiang-Kong turn to look at him at the same time with excited expressions and eyes sparkling with happiness.

"They aren't magic items. Just normal stalactites and water drops. But what makes them look so magical is actually the Deity Crystal in those stalactites!" Zheng-Fu then revealed the truth to them after he carefully examined it.

Deity Crystal!!?

"Yes! I think this cave should be the Deity Crystal Mine Cave. And what those people really wanted was this mine. They want us to be decoys and explorers at the same time. If there are too few Deity Crystals in this cave, they will use us as a decoy to escape. But because now they couldn't carry out the original plan. So, they had to risk fighting against the Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast outside. With the hope that they could defeat it with the number of Grandmasters that they brought!" Zheng-Fu explained as he thought and concluded from what he saw.

He thought that this cave was probably the mining cave that produced the Deity Crystal. Because he sensed some Deity Crystals in this area of the cave hall. And he thought that if he went deeper, he would probably find more.

Damned idiots!

"Those bastards plan to use and abandon us!? If this is the case, I'll pick up every Deity Crystal here!" Yun-Xiang-Kong became even more enraged upon hearing Zheng-Fu's conclusion. He knew he could not fight those people. But what he could do was take all the Deity Crystals within this cave.

"Even if you can take them all away, how can you go outside and escape? If they're waiting for us, they'll have to search for our valuables!" The middle-aged man was also dissatisfied. But he thought Yun-Xiang-Kong's plan was unlikely to work. Because if they carried all the Deity Crystals away and were searched by them, it would be like helping those people get all the Deity Crystals easily.

"True! That way, it's no different from helping them save time," the middle-aged woman agreed with the middle-aged man. Because if they did that, they would only be at a disadvantage.

"You guys don't have to worry about that. You can take as many Deity Crystals as you want. Because after we go out, we will never meet those people again. But even if we meet them, they can't do anything. But if you're afraid, then I'll take all the Deity Crystals alone!" Zheng-Fu turned to the three of them with a smile. Because he knew what was going on outside right now.

"Hey, how can I let you take them alone, Zheng-Fu!? If you say we can take them, I won't be considerate!" When Yun-Xiang-Kong heard what Zheng-Fu said, he did not hesitate any longer. Now he believed Zheng-Fu's every word. No matter what Zheng-Fu said, he would do everything.

"What about the two of you?" Zheng-Fu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth as he turned to ask the other two.

"We... Erm..."

"Then I'll take them too!"

"Me too!"

The two of them hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they decided that they would join in reaping the benefits this time. Even with them, they did not know if Zheng-Fu was telling the truth. But they still chose to believe and follow.

Half an hour passed...

In the end, all the Deity Crystals in that area were picked up by the four people. The person who collected the most seemed to be Yun-Xiang-Kong. Next was the middle-aged man, and then the middle-aged woman. Zheng-Fu took the least because he did not need to collect as many of them as the others. He was only pretending to convince the three of them to collect and keep the Deity Crystals as their individual property.

"Will we go inside further, Zheng-Fu? Maybe deep inside, there are more Deity Crystals than here." Yun-Xiang-Kong was overjoyed. He had completely forgotten what the current situation was. He only thought about picking up more Deity Crystals.

"Of course, we'll go in. But I must tell you first that the route ahead is not as easy as before. Because a monster beast is guarding it. And it seems that its energy level is not inferior to that of the Earth Armored Bear in front of the cave!" Zheng-Fu replied, explaining the path ahead that they had to encounter.

Monster beast!?

Gulp!
