”If I'm not one of the descendants, so be it. Jumping into the Dark Abyss now is no different than jumping into it when it shifts here into the inner city. Besides, I was standing right beside the Dark Abyss at Xianchi, but the space vortex didn't suck me into the Dark Abyss. Perhaps that's a sign that I'm still a pure descendant of the tribe that moved to Bo City,” said Zhang Xiaohou with a forced smile.
”If you're going, I'll go with you too,” said Su Xiaoluo with determination.
”Houzi, are you sure about this?” Mo Fan looked at Zhang Xiaohou grimly.
”Brother Fan...” Zhang Xiaohou looked at Mo Fan. He suddenly choked with emotion as he continued to speak, ”So many people here are going to die. I just can't bear to watch it anymore. It's great to stay alive...when everyone's alive too. I don't actually know if the tradition that my family follows has anything to do with the villages, nor do I know if I still have the lineage after so many years...but if I only have one-thousandth, or one ten-thousandth, even if I don't even have a trace of it… I don't want to wait until the Dark Abyss devours the city. It's going to eat the people and all my friends. If the city is destroyed, and everyone is dead, but I somehow survive, I strongly believe that I'll just kill myself, because I could have… saved everyone's life!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
When the place was covered in bones and ruins, especially when everyone he was close with had died right beside him while he alone had survived the calamity, he believed that he would not feel relieved at possessing the bloodline of Bo City, but he would forever live in self-condemnation and the shadows of his sin.
Zhang Xiaohou's voice was shaking as he spoke. He had already witnessed how terrifying the Dark Abyss was. He strongly believed that the most painful way to die was jumping into it.
He was scared. He had never faced fear like this before, yet the words he had spoken were of utmost sincerity.
He had not made the decision because he wanted to show how great a person he was. He just did not want to be the left person alive, even if the chance was only one-thousandth or one ten-thousandth. It was better to die than to live like an empty shell.
Zhang Xiaohou's words echoed under the clock, in the hearts of the people. Even the Super Magicians with cold faces were touched.
Mo Fan was initially going to convince Zhang Xiaohou to change his mind, yet he was the one being convinced instead.
”Fang Gu, I've drunk the Underground Holy Spring. Do you think I'll be fine jumping into the Dark Abyss?” Mo Fan asked, looking at Fang Gu.
”I wouldn't know, but according to the information passed down to us, the Underground Holy Spring of your Bo City should be a lot more effective than our Water of Kun… wait, did you drink it all by yourself? I think the undead in the Dark Abyss won't do any harm to you. The old ancestor is going to chop you into pieces himself!” replied Fang Gu.
”Mo Fan, you're going too?” Zhou Ming looked at him in great surprise.
”We're going to die either way, I would rather die trying. Well, we have candidates to jump into the Dark Abyss now, but the question is, how are we going to reach the Dark Abyss? Don't forget that the Dark Abyss is still a few kilometers away from the An Yuan Gate. The undead across that distance is enough to stack into human pyramids,” said Mo Fan.
The question immediately puzzled the crowd.
The question was on point, the Dark Abyss was located outside of the walls, the whole place was crawling with undead. It was already impossible to reach it!
Zhu Meng snorted into his beard and said righteously, ”Humph, do you think we're just going to stand here and watch?!”
”We'll clear a path for you!” Du Xiao declared, stepping forward.
”I already have a bet with Li Yujian. Whoever kills less undead is going to be the other person's servant in Hell. We can start whenever, let's do it!” Elder Shi Zheng was a straightforward person, too.
”We're going to survive, but the bet still counts!” Li Yujian responded.
The spirit in Han Ji's eyes slowly recovered when he saw the authorities willing to contribute.
The information had awakened their spirits after a long silence!
He was only curious what Salan would be feeling right now.
”To prevent Salan from disrupting our plan, I'll personally escort them until we reach the Dark Abyss!” said Han Ji.
