Chapter 916 - The Magical Underground World
Chapter 916: The Magical Underground World
The sea was rippling and the atmosphere was weird.
When these people left, in an instant, there were only 447 people left here.
But Han Fei counted and found that there were only 99 Sea Tokens. How could they be allocated to 447 people?
Then he heard Xue Shenqi say, “Among the 400 or so of you, some will go down to continue looking for opportunities, and some will have other purposes. No matter what your purpose is, you should be able to come out of this entrance. Of course, it will not be that easy to come out…”
After that, Xue Shenqi looked around. “OK, split up and act separately!”
Cao Wudi casually threw three pieces of ancient jade to Cao Qiu and his brother and sister. “Holding this jade, you’ll be able to come out.”
A strong master from the Heavenly Sword Sect casually scattered a dozen sword talismans to the disciples of his sect.
Han Fei was surprised to find that Nameless turned out to be a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He was actually Tang Ge’s Senior Brother.
The different parties distributed different things to their disciples or members, but the effects were the same. This meant that it was easy to enter the underground city but difficult to come out.
This also meant that once someone lost this talisman or the like in the underground city, there was a great possibility that they would never get out.
Old Jiang also threw a piece of ancient jade to each of them and said lightly, “There are so many opportunities in this world, so the opportunities in this city are not necessarily the best. Just do what you should do.”
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. Is the old man implying something?
What he meant was that the opportunities in the city were not necessarily good. What really mattered was the Sea Quelling Painting.
Han Fei secretly told himself, No matter what, just grab the painting first.
Han Fei glanced at Old Jiang. “Grandpa, have you still got the pills for replenishing blood and energy? Can you give me two more bottles?”
Old Jiang said crossly, “Do you think the pills are as cheap as cabbages?”
Han Fei grinned. “Grandpa, I have a sword, a high-quality Divine weapon…”
Old Jiang wondered what Han Fe meant. He seemed to be asking for the pills, but his tone was strange.
If it was just about the high-quality Divine weapon, Han Fei didn’t need the pills given that he had so many spiritual fruits… Then Old Jiang frowned. Did this kid want to make the Sea Quelling Painting recognize him as its master?
Han Fei nodded slightly towards Old Jiang, who immediately waved his hand and said, “Alright, I’ll give you two more bottles. Why didn’t you tell me you got a Divine weapon earlier?”
Han Fei bared his teeth. “I’ve just gotten it…”
With Old Jiang here, Han Fei was not afraid of someone eavesdropping.
However, seeing this, many people frowned slightly. This was a pill given by an Explorer-level powerhouse. It must be so lucky to be a disciple of the Thug Academy!
Zhang Xuanyu approached Han Fei and asked, “What pills?”
Han Fei curled his lips and said, “None of your business.”
After a moment…
Xue Shenqi said, “Are you done yet? Okay, the rest of the people shall belong to the Scattered Stars Island, and I’ll give them something to help them leave the cave. I’ve remembered each of you. Since you take things from my hand, after coming out, you shall guard the Scattered Stars Island for 10 years. Those who disagree, leave now.”
After waiting for about ten minutes, no one left, and Xue Shenqi handed out a lot of ancient jade to them.
Xue Shenqi meant that he didn’t care where they were from. As long as they took his things, they belonged to him for the next 10 years. No one would be allowed to leave, and no one could interfere. Otherwise, he’d teach them a lesson…
In fact, his words made sense. Since they had taken other people’s things, they should give something back in return.
When everyone got some means of help for coming back, Xue Shenqi said, “Okay, you can go down.”
Jiang Qin said, “Let’s go!”
As for the others, they almost left at the same time as Jiang Qin, for fear that if they were slow, others would beat them to the punch.
They jumped into the big hole one after another.
…
In the outside world.
After everyone left, someone looked at Old Jiang coldly. “Mr. Jiang, the Thug Academy sent many people down this time. Can you afford it?”
Old Jiang snorted. “What do you mean? Do you look down on the Thug Academy? I’m telling you, the Thug Academy will set foot in the Thousand Star City again sooner or later!”
Someone sneered. “Mr. Jiang, don’t brag! If you’re really that strong, you wouldn’t have declined back then.”
Someone ridiculed, “There are so many big clans in the Thousand Star City, how can they possibly lose to an academy?”
Old Jiang sneered. “Humph, don’t forget that our ancestors used to conquer an entire city alone. At that time, who dared to look down upon the Thug Academy?”
Someone snorted. “In that case, let’s see what you’re capable of! After so many years, you only trained two generations of disciples. Have you overestimated yourselves?”
Old Jiang drank a mouthful of liquor and scolded, “Little b*stard, call your Zhang Family’s ancestors to come out! You’re not qualified to challenge me! And you, you’re the most useless in the Ye Family! Who do you think you are!? And you, the brat from the Cao Family! Why are you staring at me?”
Not flinching at all, Old Jiang argued heatedly with others alone and tried his best to defend the Thug Academy.
As for Xue Shenqi, he turned around and disappeared in a flash.
What happened next was out of his hands.
He let them compete for the Sea Quelling Painting. Anyway, with this big victory, the humans could be stable for the time being.
Above the sea, Xue Shenqi was about to return to the island when he suddenly felt something. “Elders, let me remind you, the Scattered Stars Island is a restricted area. Isn’t it rude for you to break into it?”
“Haha! Brat Xue, we don’t mean to interfere with the internal affairs of the Scattered Stars Island. We’ll just stay in the sea, we won’t enter the island.”
Someone walked out of the clouds and nodded at Xue Shenqi.
Someone stood in the sky and said casually, “With us here, the one under the Ten Thousand Demon Valley won’t dare to come out easily.”
Someone sat on a big gilt chair. “I only care about the Sea Quelling Painting. Bai Congye, why are you still hiding?”
“Humph! Let’s see if your juniors can take the painting.”
While they were talking, a recliner suddenly appeared in the air and Old Bai grasped some strawberries with his left hand, carried a wine jar with his right hand, and sat comfortably in the air.
Xue Shenqi slightly frowned, snorted, and stepped away.
…
Han Fei and the others jumped into the black hole, only to feel a terrifying force sweeping their whole bodies.
When falling down, Han Fei saw a crack in the darkness.
Jiang Qin shouted, “Be careful of the void cracks! If you are sucked in, you will never be able to return to the Scattered Stars Island!”
The others dodged the cracks in a hurry. However, the cracks were not difficult to dodge. Han Fei even glanced inside but could only see pitch black although he vaguely heard the sound of water in it.
Suddenly, he heard Luo Xiaobai say, “Oh, no! I can’t summon vines in this passage.”
Jiang Qin assured her, “Don’t panic. This is not an undirected teleportation array. Be careful. Don’t separate.”
Han Fei shouted, “Hey, learn from me!”
Then everyone saw Han Fei was upside down with his hands pressing against his thighs.
Han Fei felt this was too exciting, just like bungee jumping. Oh no… Like skydiving! They didn’t even need to focus on balance to avoid the void cracks and land at the bottom of this black hole.
The others immediately did as Han Fei did.
Soon, everyone learned from Han Fei.
In the end, they were all like falling missiles, and their bodies almost rubbed the air with sparks.
Seeing the void crack, Han Fei only needed to control the wind a little bit and could dodge it easily. It was not as dangerous as he imagined.
After about ten minutes, Zhang Xuanyu said in shock, “How deep is this hole? We’ve been flying for almost 20 minutes.”
Chu Linyuan said, “It makes sense, or this place wouldn’t be called the Unknown Place. It’s the key to the Scattered Stars Island. If it was so easy to find, it would have been found hundreds of thousands of years ago!”
50 minutes!
80 minutes!
After a whole 100 minutes, a blue light appeared in front of everyone.
Jiang Qin cautioned, “Attention, do not separate.”
Puff… Puff… Puff…
Everyone passed through that crack of blue light one after another.
Suddenly, a strange sight appeared in everyone’s eyes. There was no water but only a piece of land here… Besides, it was not ordinary land. Glancing from mid-air, one could find there were high mountains, many waterfalls, and a blue sky. In the distance, in the sky, there seemed to be big birds flying.
Looking down, it was a primitive jungle, with donut-like vines, broad leaves tens of meters long, white mushrooms the size of a house, and variegated mushrooms of different colors.
Han Fei also saw that there were huge sunflowers scattered everywhere. The sight that came into view was like a magical continent that had never been developed, a primeval jungle.
However, after feeling amazed, Han Fei felt something was wrong.
These things were too big. Mushrooms bigger than a house? Besides, how do sunflowers spread pollen among the huge flowers of various colors?
Han Fei looked back and saw the blue sky with white clouds.
“F*ck… This is not underground at all.”
Han Fei immediately said, “Attention, don’t eat anything here, especially the fancy-looking things. They’re probably poisonous. Besides, there may be many unknown creatures. No matter what they meet…”
Before Han Fei finished speaking, Le Renkuang suddenly shouted, “Look, what is that?”
Han Fei looked up and saw a large swarm of buzzing things flying over in the sky.
To be precise, a guy fell into the grass, and then these things flew over.
Han Fei’s eyes widened. “Damn, bees?”
When the creatures got closer, Han Fei exclaimed, “Damn… Wasps… Run! Pay attention to the poisonous stinger on its tail…”
“Hoop!”
The Phantom Glass Wings spread and Han Fei flashed out with a swish. Everyone was rushing towards the forest.
Han Fei was speechless. “Xiaobai, hide in the water… Be careful in the forest.”
Han Fei was about to rush into the forest.
Suddenly, a flock of big yellow-blue birds with long white tail feathers were startled and charged towards the wasps.
Seeing this scene, Han Fei shouted, “Protect yourselves. Xiaobai, you guys follow Senior Brother and Senior Sister…”
“Ahhh!”
Han Fe suddenly saw the wasps that were bigger than a calf shooting their stingers out, which burst through the air.
One of them was hi, but as a Hidden Fisher, he was not weak
That man pressed the poisonous stinger with both hands. However, his hands began to rot.
“Oh my god, which virgin forest did I drop into? This is an underground city?”
