Chapter 316: Unable to Evade

The eternally dark night sky was filled with stars. Naturally, it had been created by the master of this Crimson Rock Mountain, a powerful existence.

Under the night sky.

Within the enormous vine leaf world, Xue Ying and the other two were currently by the foot of a desolate mountain, roasting meat by a campfire. They would occasionally cut apart a big piece to eat, sometimes drinking some fragrant fruit wine and from time to time even looking upward at the sparkling stars stretching across the night sky despite it making them feel dizzy.

“So comfortable.” Xue Ying revealed a grin. “It has been six days, but we can finally relax.”

“It’s all thanks to you, Brother Xue Ying. Without you and Manor Master, I would have certainly died one of these six days.” The bald elder dressed in gold robes, Uncle Fu, laughed out from the side.

“We’ve all done our parts! If not for you being able to discover the enemy from afar, we would not have had such an easy time,” Xue Ying said.

Chen Jiu nodded as well. “We’ve been ambushed fifteen times in six days. While six of those were immediate, the other nine were launched from a large distance. According to the intelligence reports, there should not be any more dangers from here to that vine in the center! After we finish our meal, we’ll cross the remaining a hundred fifty thousand kilometers in one breath.”

“Mn.” Xue Ying and the golden-robed old man both nodded.

According to the intelligence reports provided by the existences in the Deity world…

Teams would usually suffer from about fifteen ambushes in total before getting through the first vine leaf world, excluding any dangers accompanying the fortuitous encounters! After those fifteen ambushes, they would stop being attacked.

Xue Ying was celebrating inwardly.

It was fortunate that they had Uncle Fu’s Eyes of Space. It allowed them to spot the enemies from afar, giving them ample time to prepare and rely on speed to break through the incoming ambushes. Even if enemies were to charge out from some hidden space, Uncle Fu could still discover them the moment they came charging.

Without Uncle Fu, however, those enemies would have most likely followed them in stealth, surrounding and finally assassinating all of them! Truly a nightmarish scenario.

“Let’s go.” Chen Jiu rose.

Ze ze ze. Xue Ying finished the meat bone he held in two mouthfuls and took out the flask of poison suppressant to drink some more.

“Dong Bo, do you gain any pleasure from eating meat and drinking wine despite suffering from the hexing poison?” Chen Jiu could not help but ask with a smile.

“Naturally! If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself,” Xue Ying joked back.

“I’d rather not. Hearing Lord You Lan howling…is something which I can never forget,” Chen Jiu said.

The three of them started moving once again under the night sky.

They chatted amongst themselves while flying, quite carefree.

They knew, after all, that other than any dangers accompanying fortuitous encounters, all the threats had already passed. Of course they were carefree!

As for those fortuitous encounters?

Xue Ying’s Mirage Avatars were scouting ahead and behind the group, while the three of them only moved along the paths which those Mirage Avatars had already flown past. It was, naturally, quite safe.

…

As they flew, they got closer and closer to the central vine.

The first vine leaf world was relatively easy, Xue Ying thought. While there had been some minor troubles, teaming up with Chen Jiu made taking care of them much easier.

Exactly as Xue Ying was absorbed in that superb mood, all of a sudden—

Weng!

The three of them suddenly entered a ripple in space and immediately disappeared.

******

“What happened?”

The expressions on the faces of Xue Ying, Chen Jiu, and Uncle Fu immediately darkened.

They were moving towards the center at an unhurried pace—how else could they have spent a full six days to fly over a distance of just three million kilometers! Why had they suddenly arrived here?

“This is?” Xue Ying was observing the place thoroughly. This was an enormous cabin room that was sealed shut. It was a thousand meters long, three hundred meters wide and three hundred meters tall. It was rather barren inside, with only a sculpture as decoration and a box placed in a distant corner.

The sculpture depicted a fat warrior holding onto a Wolf Teeth Cudgel, and to his side was a black metallic box.
