Thriving in the Beast World

Chapter 886: Chapter 891: The Final Test 6

Such a huge mansion could hide a person for three days without them being found, let alone a tiny key.

And who knows how many keys are hidden in this mansion? Some unlucky fellows might not even find a single key.

"Sigh."

Su Tang sighed as if resigning herself to fate.

Out of the corner of her eye, Su Tang suddenly noticed the face of Bai Que, black as the bottom of a pot, and burst into laughter again.

She hadn’t forgotten how this guy had just been showing off his excess of points.

From his complexion, it was clear that he was now regretting having exchanged them for the Body Strengthening Pill.

After all, fifteen hundred points was not a small amount. If he had exchanged them for something else to take with him after the trial, it would have been a pretty good choice.

Actually, it’s no wonder since the fifth trial was so difficult, anyone would think the last one was bound to be even tougher.

But who knew, tough it was, but not the least bit dangerous.

Linking her arm through Gaiyin’s, Su Tang lazily strolled up to Bai Que, her face full of mockery, "Oh my, having lots of points sure is nice. Just look at how shiny and unscathed you are."

Bai Que: ...

He felt an inexplicable sense of blockage in his heart.

He knew this little female was provoking him, and though he tried reassuring himself not to get angry, he couldn’t help it, his Qi becoming slightly chaotic.

Bai Que glared at Su Tang and huffed heavily, then strode towards the Wood Immortal Mansion first.

Just finding a key, right?

He would definitely find one!

Watching Bai Que leave in a huff, Su Tang couldn’t help but cover her mouth to suppress her chuckling.

Gaiyin shook his head somewhat helplessly, "Feel better now?"

Trying to mask her amusement with a cough, Su Tang tugged at Gaiyin’s arm and said, "Let’s go, let’s go. We can’t let Bai Que and the others get ahead. Who knows how many keys are in this mansion."

Knowing this round of the trial had no danger, Xi’s mood had relaxed quite a bit, even allowing herself to joke around.

"What if Bai Que turns out to be that unlucky fellow?"

Su Tang laughed heartily, "You’re right, based on the dark shadow on his brow ridge, it’s a sign of bad luck! A complete jinx, that one!"

Perhaps affected by Su Tang’s mood, this was the most relaxed Xi had felt since the trials began.

Pushing open the door, which creaked eerily due to years of disrepair,

Bai Que and his group were out of sight, but judging from the trampled marks on the ground, they seemed to have gone west.

Since the mansion was so vast, they decided to go east instead; that way, no one would get in each other’s way.

Once they had made up their minds, the three of them headed east.

Before long, Su Tang found an ancient bronze key, spotted with rust, in a pile of dry, brittle straw.

Xi found it hard to believe, "How did we find a key so quickly?"

Examining the key, Su Tang appeared very calm, "If I remember correctly, the lock on the main door is of a dark gold color. This one is ancient bronze—it doesn’t really match. Let’s keep it for now and keep looking elsewhere."

It seemed the east side was a garden; there were no houses, just paths paved with pebbles, and occasionally there would be an octagonal pavilion with marble tables and benches inside, all covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Ayin! The key!"

Su Tang pointed at a bird sculpture in the corner of the octagonal pavilion, which had a key in its beak—dark gold in color.

Gaiyin lightened his body with his Qi, gracefully ascended to retrieve the key, and then spun down again, the whole process looking very smooth.
