Chapter 854: Chapter 859: The Fifth Trial 2
"Young Master!"
Xuan Shui cried out in alarm, spreading his arms and running towards the direction where the white sparrow was falling.
Su Tang watched the conspicuously disproportionate sizes of the large bird and Xuan Shui and fell silent in her heart: Aren’t you afraid of being crushed into fractures?
Su Tang just stared straight ahead.
It turned out she had underestimated the Beastmen’s physique, for Xuan Shui steadied his grip and caught the white sparrow securely.
The large bird’s eyes were tightly shut, its neck crooked, and its tongue hung out of its never-closed mouth.
With some panic, Xuan Shui hugged the large bird’s neck, unsure where to begin; in his confusion, he patted the big bird’s head, "Young Master, how are you? Wake up quickly!"
The leading Beast Soldier and Chi Tree also staggered to the front of the white sparrow.
The leading Beast Soldier reached out to check for Qi under the white sparrow’s nose and cried out in alarm, "Ah, it seems breathless!"
Hearing this, Xuan Shui’s heart almost stopped beating.
But then he heard the leading Beast Soldier say, "Xuan Shui Young Master, why not cooperate with me? Once I seize the Heritage of the Wood Immortal Mansion, I will share half the wealth with you!"
Xuan Shui: "..."
Now, let alone dealing with him, Xuan Shui didn’t even want to glance at the leading Beast Soldier and lowered his head to take meticulous care of the white sparrow.
In reality, the white sparrow had already woken up the moment it was caught, but through sensing the gaze focused on it from everyone, it felt embarrassed.
It had intended to show off in front of everyone, demonstrating that as a flying Beastman, it could fly much higher than Gaiyin.
But who the hell could anticipate that there was an invisible Barrier in the sky, preventing it from flying at all?
So, at the moment it struck the Barrier, the white sparrow truly wished it could die on the spot.
Gaiyin was the first to look away, scoffing, "Heh, fool."
The white sparrow lying in Xuan Shui’s arms pretending to be unconscious: "..."
For this round of the test, Sang Duo had already clearly told them it was a Maze.
The white sparrow actually fancied the idea of flying up high to overlook the entire Maze, so what was the difference between this and cheating? The steward would certainly not permit it!
Even the stone wall where Gaiyin was standing had a very limited view.
The stone walls here were uneven in height with no apparent pattern, and the widths and lengths of the walls varied as well.
In other words, they had no idea how large the Maze actually was.
After Gaiyin descended, he briefly explained the situation; after a short discussion, they decided to have a look around nearby first and then search for that safety shelter.
Everyone agreed.
Only Xi’en, before leaving, turned to glance at Xuan Shui and said with a conflicted face, "Take good care of Brother Sparrow, we’ll go ahead first."
Xuan Shui nodded solemnly, "Don’t worry, I will!"
After Gaiyin and the others disappeared around the corner, a flash of white light came from the white sparrow, and it immediately transformed back into human form.
Xuan Shui was extremely surprised: "Young Master, you’ve finally woken up!"
White sparrow: "..."
The leading Beast Soldier beside them let out a sigh, not too heavy or too light.
They couldn’t quite hide the hint of regret in their voice.
The white sparrow swept a cold glance toward him.
The leading Beast Soldier, realizing what was happening, immediately hid behind Chi Tree.
Chi Tree: "..."
After a while, the white sparrow said nothing and coolly averted his gaze.
If the leading Beast Soldier hadn’t still been somewhat useful to him, the things he had said would have been enough for him to die a thousand, ten thousand times over.
The white sparrow, with a stern face, walked into an intersection opposite to the direction Gaiyin and the others had taken.
Having been humiliated in front of his dear younger brother, he couldn’t possibly follow the same path as them.
