Chapter 376 - Being Nincompoop (Part-2) (2/2)

Both True-Spear and Su-Min winced at that as Su-Min spoke, ”Ouch that must be hard on him.”

Meanwhile Ryuu's left brow twitched as while speaking with Dhaeq with a smile on his face he currently standing in such a way that he was able to see Zywia's group and he read her lips and it made him angry, 'That stupid idiot who gave her the permission to speak like that and divulge information about me, whether my teachers' family was hard on me or not who gave you the permission to gossip on it with outsider who is no way linked with either of the families, and for the record I have never been shy yes a bit subdued during that time because of certain but never shy', with great self control he swallowed his anger.

Zywia suddenly felt a chill flow down her spine causing her to look around but found nothing out of place she immediately dismissed it as nothing before she returned to speak with her friends.

As Ryuu spoke with Dhaeq for a brief moment his mind went back to the first real adventure he had when he had assisted in battle against the spiders during the trials, he a child had helped the Monkey Queen and had earned their gratitude, 'Do they remember me? I hope so Dhaeq seems so happy and he treated me as his brother but after today I will never see him again just like so many others whom I have met before do they all miss me, do they remember me or I am just a story for them to tell others, who knows.', a small melancholic sigh escaped his lips.

”So this the portal to the other level.”, Frost Flames spoke in cold tone as they looked at the giant portal that has appeared a few minutes prior, an earthquake followed by a giant gate made up of bones appeared followed by swirling portal that linked to the other side.

Chasing Winds grinned towards her as she spoke, ”Well what are we waiting for? Let us venture forth.”

With a roar of agreement they all decided to move forward Ryuu turned to look at the people he had the honor of knowing for almost a year waving at them shouting out their goodbyes he turned towards them as he gave them a small bow with a smile on his face which was promptly returned by many others, they were only half way through the portal when a group of voice came to their ears, ”Hey wait up how dare you leave without us.”

Every cultivators who were present had their jaws tighten at the sight of Josiah and his group of deserters they were returning as if nothing had happened and worse of all they gave a look as if they were at fault for leaving them behind.

Ryuu snarled as he watched them dash towards the portal and from the looks of it every cultivator were enraged at their action when they were busy putting life on the line this 6 people had abandoned them and had run away.

Then their anger turned to amus.e.m.e.nt as they upon reaching the portal were flung away with great force, as they landed on their back the people present laughed at their plight as they started moving again as one of them shouted out, ”Serves you right you idiots you did not fulfill the challenge and ran away before the 300 day mark and now you all are stuck here, so have fun.”

The laughter increased even Ryuu smirked at their misfortune as they moved to the next level, Ryuu stepped out of the portal as a vicious smell assaulted his nose as he stood waist deep inside a swamp as did many others.

Screeching and screaming of various insects and creatures filled his ears as he let out a sigh, 'Ugh it seems I will run out my clothes sooner than later.'
