Chapter 850: Chapter 855 Transition 5
The face of Bai Que was so somber it seemed as if it could drip ink.
At this moment, all of their superpowers were more than half depleted. If they were to make another wrong choice as described by the steward of the Divine Mansion, the number of Long Tooth Beasts they would face next would be eight.
Would they truly have the ability to cope with them then?
After much hesitation in front of Cave Five and Cave Four, Bai Que finally chose Cave Five.
Thankfully, his choice was the correct one.
But when they were once again faced with six identical caves, signs of stress and fracturing faintly appeared on everyone’s faces.
Xuan Tian cocked his head and spat to the side, saying bitterly, "How many more caves do we have to go through! This is so annoying!"
The usually calm and composed Xuan Shui was also on the verge of breaking down, with no energy left to comfort Xuan Tian.
Indeed, after experiencing two battles, who could still smile when facing yet another unknown choice?
Xuan Shui took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and turned his head to ask Bai Que.
"Young Master, which cave shall we go to?"
Bai Que was also unsure, especially after making two consecutive wrong choices, which had greatly disturbed his mind.
He remained silent for a long while before saying, "Let’s rest here and recover a bit before we head to Cave Three and take a look."
Everyone sat down tiredly to restore their superpowers.
But the speed of recovery was truly slow. After half an hour had passed, they had only regained a little bit of Primordial Power.
The group stood solemnly in front of the entrance to Cave Three, no one daring to take the first step.
To ease the tense atmosphere, Xuan Shui said with a smile, "Everyone relax. Thanks to our young master, we haven’t made any wrong turns so far, and we are well ahead of Gaiyin and his team.
They picked the wrong cave the first time, and they will surely choose wrong again. With the state of their team, they might not make it through the second mistake and could already be eliminated by now.
Unlike us, we have always been correct in our choices! What does this tell us? It tells us that our young master is favored by the Beast God. The young master’s choices must be correct!"
With those words,
Bai Que’s heart felt warmly satisfied, and Xuan Tian became excited and impassioned.
Though the lead Beast Soldier and Chi Tree appeared very happy, they both harbored their own ulterior motives.
Bai Que slightly suppressed his smile, "Alright, why say so much? Passing the trial is what matters. Everyone, be on your guard!"
As he spoke, Bai Que was the first to step into Cave Three.
Then—
When the others came out, Xuan Tian was nowhere to be seen.
Bai Que had several striking wounds on him, and both the lead Beast Soldier and Xuan Shui were pale faced, evidently suffering from severe internal injuries, with the two propping up the unconscious Chi Tree.
They walked towards Cave Six with heavy hearts. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
In reality, just one second after entering Cave Three, Bai Que suddenly realized that the previous five caves corresponded to the numbers 12345, and every time, six caves were presented as options.
If his guess was correct, then it should be Cave Six—which had never been chosen—that was the correct cave.
Unfortunately, by the time Bai Que realized this, it was too late, as Cave Three was already enveloped by a Transparent Barrier.
After a deadly struggle, Xuan Tian was gravely injured by a Long Tooth Beast, and it was only by using the Muxian Order at a critical moment that he managed to escape.
And the four of them had exhausted their superpowers, riddled with wounds, in a dire situation.
Without any hesitation, Bai Que headed towards Cave Six.
