Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 455: Tunnel Race, Admitting Defeat

Fang Zhou poured out all the souls from the gourd and said to the Firekeeper, "Are these enough?"

The Firekeeper looked at the souls in her hands, montarily speechless.

In the past, there were occasional outsiders who stumbled upon this place, but none had the obsession like Fang Zhou to collect the souls of the slain monsters.

The Firekeeper needed to stay by the bonfire and couldn’t venture out to hunt monsters for fuel, so she could only watch the fla dwindle day by day.

After a long while, the Firekeeper softly said, "Thank you, it’s already enough."

She slowly brought her hands to the bonfire, slightly opening them, and the souls in her hands imdiately poured down, consud by the flas.

After adding the souls, Fang Zhou felt the flas beca much more vigorous, the light shooting far into the distance, evidently showing these souls as very qualified fuel.

The reason Fang Zhou gave these things to the Firekeeper was, firstly, they no longer seed useful to him, and secondly, it was an emotional investnt.

When it cos to "hugging thighs," emotional investnt is very necessary. It’s not just about seeing a thigh and hugging it, you need to let the thigh see the benefits of having you as an accessory, then the thigh will provide you the opportunity to hang on.

The invigorated flas brought a slight rise to the corners of the Firekeeper’s mouth, revealing a faint smile.

She suddenly reached into the flas, scooping out a cluster of burning fire, and presented it to Fang Zhou: "I don’t know what you plan to do in this world, but if you need help, you can go to the Cold Valley to find the Heroic Spirit of the Fla King, give her the fla, and she’ll offer you assistance."

Fang Zhou didn’t expect his emotional investnt to pay off so quickly and hastily took out the gourd, carefully absorbing the fla from the Firekeeper’s hands into it.

The Firekeeper lightly tapped a finger on the bonfire, causing a spark to fly out towards the darkness.

"Go now, it will lead you out of this place." The Firekeeper softly said, "No matter what happens on the way, don’t stop, and don’t co back after you leave."

Fang Zhou wanted to stay and chat with the Firekeeper, to cultivate a relationship, but didn’t expect her to see him off so soon.

Seeing that the spark was about to disappear, Fang Zhou could only leap to catch up, while shouting to the Firekeeper, "I will return if I have the chance."

He caught up to the spark and, turning back, saw the Firekeeper standing by the bonfire, watching from afar.

Upon flying a bit more distance and turning back again, Fang Zhou noticed that the bonfire had beco a tiny speck of light, eventually engulfed by the darkness, disappearing completely.

...

After Fang Zhou left, the Firekeeper sat by the bonfire again, softly reciting the prophecy of the ancestors.

"The Savior erges from the darkness... bringing sustenance to the fire... and he shall eventually leave... taking away the Fire of Hope... planting a seed for the light..."

In the dead silence of darkness, only the Firekeeper’s voice echoed softly.

...

Fang Zhou summoned Bi An back, once again using the One Belt One Road thod, hiding in the gourd, relying on Bi An to carry the gourd along.

The flight speed of the spark beca faster and faster, but fortunately, the enhanced speed of Bi An wasn’t slow either, allowing them to follow easily.

Before long, an entrance to a tunnel appeared up ahead, with the spark flying inside, followed closely by Bi An.

This was a tunnel Fang Zhou hadn’t been to before, and it clearly extended upwards.

Not long after entering the tunnel, Fang Zhou could, through the shared hearing from Bi An, hear strong vibrations coming from behind, as if sothing was collapsing the tunnel.

Accompanying the vibrations were the roars of monsters.

Fang Zhou’s heart instantly leapt, rembering the monster that previously swallowed hundreds of prison guards in one bite, sothing he absolutely could not provoke.

Thus, Fang Zhou firmly rembered the Firekeeper’s advice, no matter what happened not to stop or look back, letting Bi An fly forward with all its might.

The vibrations behind grew stronger and the monstrous roars grew clearer, seemingly drawing closer.

Without needing prompting from Fang Zhou, Bi An’s flight speed increased, quickly overtaking the guiding spark ahead.

This spark wouldn’t fall behind, imdiately enhancing its speed to overtake Bi An again.

The two sides engaged in an ongoing overtake race, drifting through the twisting and turning tunnels like cars racing.

anwhile, the monster from behind was soon left far behind, only able to let out unwilling roars.

Soon the spark led Bi An to the second layer of the underground, where Fang Zhou saw a number of prison guards wandering in the tunnels, who imdiately gave chase upon seeing Bi An.

Fang Zhou didn’t entangle with them, directly escaping, soon being pursued by a group of prison guards again.

This group seed relentless, as if determined to catch Fang Zhou, believing him to be an escaped prisoner from the underground prison.

They chased relentlessly until they reached a turning point in an upward tunnel fork, where the group finally stopped.

Fang Zhou realized he might have returned to the first layer of the Underground Tunnel, as these monsters seed to have a strict territorial division, with each layer’s monsters not venturing into other layers.

Soon, Fang Zhou saw familiar disgusting beings—the Maggot People.

These Maggot People couldn’t see Bi An, only noticing a gourd flying swiftly through the tunnel, causing a frenzy of roars.

After passing through the Maggot People’s colony, the guiding spark suddenly made an upward turn, with Bi An following closely behind.

And then, Fang Zhou saw the pitch-black night sky.

He had finally escaped from the tunnel.

Once the spark flew out of the tunnel, it ascended straight up and soon extinguished, disappearing.

Bi An raised a thumb towards the disappearing spark, acknowledging this tunnel sprint where Fang Zhou conceded in admiration.

Right after, he began to survey the surroundings and realized that this was the giant crater he had previously created with the Nuclear Leveling Technique.

It was nightti outside, and in the deathly zone created by the explosion, there were no longer any monsters wandering or lurking, and the charred ruins were deathly silent.

Fang Zhou didn’t rashly erge from the gourd, instead continuing to have Bi An carry him away from the place.

When trapped underground before, Fang Zhou’s sole thought was to escape from underground.

Now having escaped, Fang Zhou instead felt a bit indecisive, unsure of his next step.

After so consideration, Fang Zhou decided to first head to the Cold Valley to find the Fla King, to see what assistance could be offered before making any more decisions.

Although the nearby anti-air cannons had disappeared with the Nuclear Leveling Technique, Fang Zhou didn’t dare to fly carelessly, for fear of being detected by the Abyss Watcher, who could indeed see Bi An.

So, he wisely chose to fly close to the ground, cautiously avoiding any potential monsters along the route Night Mouse brought him via.

He reached the outside of Fran Fortress without any unexpected incidents, allowing his tense heart to slightly relax.

However, before he could let out a sigh of relief, his attention was drawn to the battlefield in front of the fortress.
