Chapter 842: Chapter 846: The Fourth Trial 19
Xi’en opened his eyes in bewilderment, just in time to see several of the Long Tooth Beast’s fangs had crumbled away.
Dark green, thick blood spurted from its mouth, splashing onto the protective shield that was covering them, looking quite nauseating.
The next second, Gaiyin arrived, carrying a large knife.
Without a word, he went up to the Long Tooth Beast and started hacking away at it.
Because the protective shield was obscured by the thick filth, Su Tang and Xi’en couldn’t see anything.
They could only hear the angry roars of the Long Tooth Beast and sounds akin to chopping meat—bang bang bang.
In the end.
Outside was silent.
With a pounding heart, Su Tang called out hesitantly, "Ayin? Are you okay?"
No one answered.
Su Tang’s heart immediately leaped into his throat. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
He became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, restless.
Suddenly—
A pair of large hands appeared on the protective shield smeared with green mucus.
The hands wiped off the mucus, revealing Gaiyin’s face, still stricken with shock.
"Tangtang? Are you alright?"
Su Tang inside the protective shield instantly felt relieved.
"I’m fine."
Gaiyin, still unnerved, nodded, "That’s good, that’s good. Just stay put inside and don’t move, come out after it’s safe."
Then Gaiyin wiped a bead of blood off his cheek and, resolutely, headed towards the remaining two Long Tooth Beasts with his large knife.
Su Tang, also still shaken, patted his chest and went back to treating Xi’en’s wounds.
He took the opportunity to check the durability of the protective shield.
After that rough ordeal, it somehow still had 857/1000 left.
Indeed, as Erha often said: "System products are top quality!"
The protective shield truly was remarkable, a pity that there was only one left, the kind you couldn’t buy even if you wanted.
...
The remaining two Long Tooth Beasts, after such a prolonged struggle, were already faltering, and even without Gaiyin’s help, Xi Ye and Yadang would sooner or later have defeated them.
Gaiyin’s participation simply hastened their end.
Although they succeeded in killing the four Long Tooth Beasts, the three of them were covered in wounds of various sizes, each not as severe as those on Xi’en, yet still heartbreakingly grievous.
This misstep in choosing the wrong Cave had used up most of their golden wound medicine, but most importantly, the battle had severely drained their Primordial Energy, leaving them incapable of fighting again for a while.
This meant that if they made even a slight mistake in the choices ahead, they would lose everything.
They rested in This Cave for a long time.
Yadang just couldn’t understand, "We chose according to the method of the first round, so why was it still wrong?"
Xi Ye couldn’t help but frown, "Or is there some clue that we missed?"
Yadang denied firmly, "Impossible! I remember the map clearly, there’s no way I made a mistake!"
"That’s strange."
While everyone was deep in thought with furrowed brows, Su Tang quietly leant over and whispered something into Qiu Mo’s ear.
Qiu Mo looked at Su Tang with a peculiar expression, as if to ask: If you know the answer, why don’t you say it yourself?
Su Tang smiled and with an encouraging look, nodded at Qiu Mo.
Qiu Mo: You must be a bit crazy.
Despite not understanding Su Tang’s strategy, she still spoke up according to Su Tang’s suggestion, "It should be Cave number five. Since subtracting the two numbers to choose Cave number one was incorrect, the right Cave must be the sum of the numbers, Cave number five."
