"Why is she doing this?"
Unable to hear the contents of the other’s secret words, Gu Pan could only fill in everything by observing the situation herself. She wished she could rush forward and stab that woman, to stop her from desecrating her aunt’s body, while harboring nurous complaints against Xu Shu.
"Damn you, Xu Shu, can’t you restrain yourself a little? That’s your teacher’s aunt, how can you do this? You guys have a generational gap!"
"No, you can’t do this, you damn well can’t do this ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Gu Pan roared in her heart.
What relieved her slightly was that Xu Shu’s expression remained unchanged, and he quickly pulled back from Gu Yue Ming’s chest. The two seed to have not engaged in further intimate interaction.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, struggling to maintain her footing amidst the tremors, choosing to stare intently at Gu Yue Ming.
The three harbored their own secrets, yet no one revealed them.
By this ti, the tremors on the ground had already ceased.
Behind the massive tal door, an incredibly deep passage, like one leading straight to the abyss, lay quietly exposed.
Xie Xiaochan took a deep breath and said, "Be careful, according to the information, although not every passage is the sa, inside, there may be so mutated curse tool monsters that will attack us."
"Curse tool monsters?" Several people were puzzled as this was insider information.
Xie Xiaochan nodded, "Yes, it could be a chanical box, a bearing, a chain, a toothbrush, a towel. In any case, be careful with everything you see. Of course, perhaps there aren’t any left now, having been taken by those who ca before us. The items here, for first and second-order Transcendents, are rather valuable."
Are there really any ’sealing artifacts’ left? Strange...
Xu Shu, who was listening alongside, poked his head out, asking thoughtfully, "Is there no limit to the number of people that can enter this secret realm?"
Based on the previous experiences of entering "Shimizu Temple" and the "Mother Goddess Church side hall," it seed like the number of entrants varied?
Xie Xiaochan seed to have expected this question, so she smiled and said, "This secret realm is different, because there is an audience section, so during the ti the passage is open, anyone can enter."
"Audience section?" Xu Shu grew even more confused.
"It’s a duel arena, with a stage, bleachers, and backstage. After we go in, we enter backstage through a special passage, and then split up; the assistance fighters go directly to the stage, while the challengers standing backstage can number between three to six depending, and those extra can watch from the forbidden-to-fight audience seats." Having understood a lot, Xie Xiaochan couldn’t help but elaborate a little this ti.
However, before she could finish, Lu Bingwei suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Enough with the chat, let’s go before the entrance closes," then she stepped on a talisman, floated up, and dashed in.
The others felt that this made sense because the entrance door seed to be moving, appearing to close, so they entered one by one.
Yan Shan was the most eager, dragging the enormous body of the "Bio-Mother" and leaping in with a whoosh, disappearing from view.
In a brief glance, the Bio-Mother, tied up and unable to move, made a highly humanized gesture of rolling its eyes, seemingly protesting the action.
"...It’s quite sentient, but probably only about as smart as a house cat?"
Xu Shu muttered, without thinking too much, choosing once again to bring up the rear.
Gu Yue Ming was behind him, firmly grasping Xu Shu’s collar, using him as a support, her eyes darting around, quietly showing a reminiscent look, as if this place held mories worth cherishing.
This was not the true rearguard.
Because the real rearguard... was Gu Pan.
With quite a vigilant and scrutinizing gaze, she stared intently at Gu Yue Ming, fearing she might act out again.
Especially seeing her nestling against Xu Shu’s back as usual like a little bird.
At first, she hadn’t thought much of it during the journey here, after all, she’s a "healer," finding a warrior brother to be a shield is normal behavior.
But after witnessing the earlier "Monet Gate" incident, Gu Pan now found her more and more irritating, feeling that everything she did now had an air of affectation.
Must keep a close watch on her!
...
The passage was extrely deep, and they hadn’t reached the end half an hour later, even at their third-order speed.
Along the way, although he didn’t see any familiar "sealing artifacts," Xu Shu felt a bit disappointed.
However, he always felt like sothing unsettling was staring at him from the surroundings.
"The murderous intent here is strong, better be extra careful!"
Xu Shu squinted as he looked around while crossing the long passage.
As they progressed, the unchanging paper-like folded tunnel around them induced a particularly oppressive feeling, evoking a sense of spatial and temporal dislocation.
And in reality, there must be so genuine "spatial dislocation" happening too, or after delving hundreds of kiloters underground, there would certainly be abnormal sensations.
Fortunately, this feeling didn’t last too long, and Xu Shu had the "leave-the-ruins countdown" from the Tai Chu Scroll to use as a reference, ensuring he wouldn’t get lost.
After a thirty-minute long sprint, they finally reached the end.
A space vortex about four ters in diater floated quietly there.
"We’re here. Rember not to move recklessly after passing through the secret realm entrance, wait for the signal after landing."
Upon seeing the frontmost Lu Bingwei dive in without a word, Xie Xiaochan could only quickly remind the others.
