C12 (1/2)
Drip, drip. The waves melted into specks of stars that sprinkled onto the river surface for a thousand miles without any sound.
”Ah, ah …” Fan Mu had only thought of saving Fan Qin from danger, but the joy of success had already flooded his mind. With a ”pu pu” sound, a hole exploded in the water.
The situation was not good, so he had to stop here. He was truly unwilling to accept this, but he did not feel the formless pressure of the turbid water flow. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was not submerged in the water, but rather in the air.
The Eagle Lion Beast looked over, and saw that Fan Mu had decided not to act just to save Fan Qin, but to accompany him in death. It almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and in order to comply with its master's orders, it had to make a move when the time came. It quickly summoned the Heavenly Winged Bird back, and then activated a mind technique to save the two of them.
”What the hell are you doing?!” ”I'll just kill myself for playing around,” Fan Qin covered his wound, his face full of rage. The Lion Lion Beast smiled and lightly clapped.
Hey, hey, hey, don't.” Fan Qin lost his consciousness and quickly fell into the river, ”Ahh, I don't really know how to swim! ”Brother!
”Lion Beast, please don't mind my brother's words, hurry up and get him out,” Fan Mu's face was filled with helplessness as he rushed out to smooth things over. ”Fan Qin, Fan Qin, can you not talk too much? You will definitely die in your own mouth in the future.”
”Uh, what just happened? Why would someone fall into the water when they sent a message? That's great.” The Lion Beast yawned and nonchalantly waved its hand, sending Fan Qin flying into the air once more.
”Aiyo, I know what's going on. Is the system right?” Xu Tianlang's Divine Mace had even amused the Eagle Lion. ”Benefactor, I've found out that you're the most quick-witted out of the three.”
The second test was passed just like that? Seems to be so. The falcon scratched its chin as it thought to itself, As long as I complete my mission.
As the three of them gathered at the shore, the space in front of them gradually became illusory. An object that looked like a cave appeared in front of them, and a word was engraved on the door. The third trial was about to begin.
”Come in.” A stern and empty voice came from within the cave, as if it came from the ancient times and was swept away by a strong sense of vicissitudes.
”You, you, you, who said you could go in? ”Stay here and row,” the Lion Beast said, spreading its thick wings in front of Fan Qin, blocking his way to the cave.
”Em,” Fan Qin was annoyed, but his eyes flashed with anger. ”I will kill you, I will, but I will just have to think about it, what can I do if I can't beat you?” He groaned and made a face at the falcon before walking towards the river bank.
Looking at Fan Qin's retreating back, Fan Mu let out a light sigh. Why couldn't he take charge of the situation alone? What use were these theories?
”Fan Qin, be careful. You haven't helped me roast the fire yet.” Although Xu Tianliang was indeed chanting Fan Qing's safety, his mouth couldn't move at all.
Fan Qin shook his hand and began his life as a ferryman.
Fan Mu and Xu Tianliang entered the cave. Just like before, the moment they entered, the cave door started to become empty, disappearing. What vanished was not only the thorny falcon, but also that space.
”Welcome to the Maze Region,” the old voice sounded again, ”I am the creator of this space, and also the controller of your life and death, Yun Tian.”
Yun Tian and Fan Mu quickly searched their minds for this key word. They seemed to have seen it somewhere before … No way. Fan Mu seemed to have thought of something, fear written all over his face.
Xu Tianguo patted Fan Mu and asked, ”Fan Mu? ”What's wrong with you?” Obviously, he didn't know how serious the situation was.
”Yun Tian …” The Misty Cloud Empire is a wood-attribute, gold-rank expert. He specializes in making organs, especially large-scale organs. The Mu Yunxiong that he once created has now been used as a weapon for a long period of time, ”Fan Mu's voice was hurried, his tone filled with fear.
”Is it normal to be an expert?” ”I've seen enough today, what are you afraid of?” Looking at the bewildered Fan Mu, Xu Tianliang was even more confused. He had never seen Fan Mu so afraid.
”The important point is that ten years ago, he had already died. He died during the annexation war between the two empires.” Fan Mu panted, feeling as if he couldn't even breathe.
Boy, you know this old man very well, ”the serious expression on his face gradually faded, and the atmosphere of joy filled up the air. Ten years had passed, and yet there was still someone who could remember the King of traps, which was rare,” That's right, I am a damn person, if the heavens do not destroy me, then I will set the day.
A scroll floated from the sky, shining brilliantly and slowly falling into Fan Mu's hands. As Fan Mu held it with both hands, he could only feel that the faint red halo was extremely hot.
”This is the result of my lifelong research. The Heaven's Will has changed, a total of ten volumes. The first two volumes were passed to my disciples, and this is the third volume. I hope that one day, destiny will reappear in the martial world.” Yun Tian's voice did not contain the slightest reluctance. Instead, it contained his anticipation for this little fellow.
”Thank you for your guidance, senior!” Fan Mu cupped his fists and greeted the source of the voice. After a moment of surprise, he was brimming with joy. Fan Mu carefully accepted the treasure.
”There is no hint, the door is at the end,” the voice of the Vast Expanse disappeared, and with a rumbling sound, the entrance to the maze opened up.
A chilly wind blew in all directions in the huge stone chamber, as if it was enveloped in darkness all year round, swallowing up all the incoming creatures. The whistling sound of the wind was drifting about in the maze, causing the two of them to tremble.
All the light in the maze originated from the small oil lamp on the wall. This originally holy and holy light was like a ghost fire in the deathly atmosphere, which was surprisingly terrifying.
”Fan Mu, shall we go in now?” In such a situation, Xu Tianguo didn't dare make any reckless decisions, leaving it to Fan Moulai, who was experienced and knowledgeable, to decide.
”Yun Tian is a master of mechanisms, ten years ago he had the title of Emperor of Heaven, and this was a space created by him, it is unavoidable that he would encounter all kinds of traps,” Fan Mu touched the wall at the entrance of the maze, but there were no traces of it protruding at all, so he looked down at the suspicious points on the floor and found that the bricks on the ground were of different colors, thus Fan Mu continued, ”But time is limited, we will first study this white piece of black rock on the floor.” Fan Mu made a careful analysis of the situation, and the black and white patterns on the ground were indeed puzzling.
”What does this white block mean?” Xu Tianliang wasn't stupid, but he couldn't see anything suspicious about this fractal black and white block.
Fan Mu crouched down and examined the first white piece at the entrance of the maze. He gently touched it, and sure enough, as he expected, the white piece was embedded in the ground.
”The sky is wide, take a look at the changes, including the changes on the walls.” Since nothing had happened, Fan Mu speculated that the touch of the mechanism wasn't just pressing down, but releasing it.
