Chapter 1401 The Wall of Destiny (2/2)
The wall had two lines of text on it. The first consisted of four words, and it said, ”The Wall of Destiny.” The other line said, ”Destiny reveals the way for the fortunate.”
”Only the lucky ones can get by? What is that supposed to mean?” Wang Zhao said, with a frown. He wasn't sure what that meant.
”Perhaps it means something else,” Mister Li said.
No one could offer up another explanation, however. And no one wanted to risk dwelling on the meaning behind any amount of text in that shelter. So, they planned to go back and attempt to venture another way.
As they walked, they soon realized they were lost. They were struggling to get back to the way they had come in, and the map offered no sound guidance.
”Mister Li, you have a map. How can you not navigate your way back?” Wang Zhao said.
Xu Yanmeng asked, ”What are you trying to say?”
Zhong Sanxiao said, ”What do you mean what are you trying to say? Is he speaking in tongues, man? Your precious Mister Li has a map, and yet the dunce has led us astray. Who voted this guy should be our leader, anyway?”
”And you have eyes and half a brain, don't you? The path has changed. We didn't come this way. We might not even be able to follow the map, anymore,” Old Qiu said.
”We didn't come this way? We didn't come this way because he obviously can't read a map! The old man is blind and half senile, and thanks to him, we're now lost,” Zhong Sanxiao said.
Mister Li finally spoke. He turned his head away from the map and turned around, saying, ”There is nothing wrong with the map nor my ability to read it. It's this place; it shuffles and warps to misguide our way. A strange magic is at work here; stay vigilant.”
The map was indeed useless now. Nothing marked on it corresponded to the way they were now traversing.
Still, nothing dangerous seemed to occur. They walked for a whole half an hour before Zhong Sanxiao suddenly felt the urge to exclaim, ”Motherf*cker! Why are we back here?”
Everyone looked at him, and then saw what he was referring to. There was a wall with text upon it, one that read: ”The Wall of Destiny.”
”It looks like we have to go past this wall somehow,” Mister Li said.
”This place is f*cking cursed! Game over, man! Game over!” Zhong Sanxiao spat on the floor, beginning to lose his composure to the nagging worry that gnawed on the minds of them all.
”Let's take a timeout for a minute. We need to figure things out a bit.” Mister Li gestured for everyone to take a load off and relax for a bit.
Everyone sat down then, bringing out a bite to eat.
Han Sen brought out a sacred-blood geno fruit to munch on while he studied the wall.
When he was finished, an announcement played.
”Nine-Sky Fruit consumed; Sacred Geno Point +1.”
