Chapter 848: Chapter 853 Transition 3
"The next round of the challenge might involve many uncontrollable factors, so everyone must be careful. Life is the most important thing—should any emergency arise, think of a way to save your own life first. When necessary, even if we can’t obtain the Heritage, we all must leave the Wood Immortal Mansion."
"No matter who among us encounters danger, without a foolproof plan, the others should not rashly attempt to help. It’s most important to protect oneself, understood?"
Su Tang was dead serious.
From the remarks made by the cub and Sang Duo’s reaction, she couldn’t help but feel that the next round of the challenge would not be simple.
Improving one’s physique to gain a Superpower and become a female of Beast World is certainly important.
But what’s even more important to her is the safety of her companions.
Yadang was the first to nod, grinning, "Don’t worry, Su Tang. If there’s danger, I’ll definitely be the first to run. No need to worry about me."
"Yeah, yeah, I’ll run too. I’m really afraid of pain!" Qiu Mo also raised his hand in a show of strength.
Su Tang smiled and shook her head, not replying.
She understood they were all just talking tough. If she were in danger, it might be one thing, but if someone else were in danger and they found that person hadn’t managed to escape in time, she knew they would risk their lives to help.
They were companions who fought side by side and shared life and death. Su Tang never intended to truly abandon a teammate if they were left behind.
The reason she spoke as she did was merely to serve as an implicit warning for everyone.
"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I suddenly remember there’s something else I need to tell you..."
...
Bai Ling felt somewhat elated.
Not for any particular reason, other than that they had entered four Caves in a row and had not encountered any so-called monsters.
Bai Ling even began to wonder if the steward of the Wood Immortal Mansion was lying to them, that perhaps there weren’t any monsters at all.
But Bai Ling knew that wasn’t the case.
From the choice Bai Ling had made earlier, it was clear that monsters did exist, and they seemed to be formidable creatures.
Yet here he was, having made it this far without a hitch. He didn’t even believe it was mere luck.
But if not for the favor of the Beast God, how could he have made it to this point?
Could it be?
Was he the chosen heir to the Wood Immortal Mansion that the Beast God fancied?
At this thought, the steps of Bai Ling became instantly lighter.
"Young master, to which Cave shall we go next?" Xuan Shui looked at Bai Ling with full trust, even feeling inwardly fortunate about his earlier decision to follow the young master.
Bai Ling nodded slightly, a hint of unchecked pride in his eyes.
He casually pointed to Cave Six, "Let’s go there."
"Yes!" Xuan Shui bowed with a fist to Bai Ling, utterly compliant with his every word.
They all confidently advanced toward Cave Six, but just as they expected to pass through as easily as they had the previous Caves, they came upon a dead end. The Cave appeared right in their line of sight.
Bai Ling immediately frowned.
"Damn, we chose the wrong Cave, retreat now!" The leading Beast Soldier shouted and started to run back.
However, just as he reached the entrance, he rammed into a transparent membrane and was bounced back ’Duang’ onto the ground, landing on his rear with a thud.
"Hiss... It seems we’re trapped in here!" Facing everyone’s gaze, the leading Beast Soldier said with an awkward smile, trying to rise from the ground, wincing and gritting his teeth.
Xuan Tian couldn’t help but give him a disdainful look. "Didn’t you hear the previous rules of the challenge?"
