Chapter 309: Labyrinth of Truth (2)
Prince Lin Yan then told him the simplified message, stunning the young man. Hu Fei had a chance to enter this secret region five years ago but since he felt that he was not strong enough, he chose not to.
"Just who is he?"
Prince Lin Yan pa.s.sed a glance at Hu Fei. "I can"t tell you unless he decided to tell you. And if you try to pry the secret, I might even be forced to go against you."
"That serious?" Hu Fei"s eyes narrowed. d.a.m.n it, how come one"s ident.i.ty changed that much? He knew that Lin Xiao was Prince Lin Yan"s younger brother, but from the way it looked like, he also had a completely different ident.i.ty.
What it was, he didn"t know.
But he knew that it must be very dangerous to know just based on the way Prince Lin Yan dared to say that he might go against him.
"Yes."
"Hmm, so where should we go?" Hu Fei looked around. The 10 path looked very similar to each other that he felt his face turned ugly. How in the world he should be finding his path like this?
"Heh, you"re still lingering around, Hu Fei?"
"Song Guan?" Hu Fei turned around to look at that annoying young man. He rolled his eyes. "What? You want to say that you"re going to help me to find my route."
"As if!" Song Guan sneered as he walked to one direction. "You should just stay in that stone platform and you might be able to stay alive. If we meet en route, I"ll make sure to kill you with my own hand."
"Heh, only if you have the chance to do so."
Song Guan was traveling with his two friends and several servants behind them. From the power they exuded, it was clear that they were all Golden Core Stage 2.
"Advancing to Golden Core Stage 2 is a matter of time while advancing to Golden Core Stage 3 relies on your comprehension," Prince Lin Yan suddenly explained. He could see that Lin Xiao was also curious.
Lin Xiao nodded. He pursed his lips. "I"ll need your guidance about Golden Core Stage when I make my breakthrough."
"No problem."
"Alright, so how should we decide which path is our path? I really can"t see any difference in the paths here." Hu Fei"s face was ugly. The others have already started moving through different path and yet, he was still here and couldn"t go anywhere.
"What"s your element?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.
"Hmm? I"m fire element… wait, why should I tell a brat like you?"
"Not just fire, right?"
Hu Fei"s face turned dark. "Metal."
The four basic element: fire, wind, water, and earth were the most common.
But above them were those with special kinds of element such as metal, wood, thunder, ice, light, and darkness.
"Each of those paths are representing the 10 elements that we have. If you have dual elements, pick the one that"s your main element." Lin Xiao pointed at the ground and they noticed that in front of each path was different word.
But… it was not the usual word they usually see. The word looked no different than child"s stroke without meaning.
They all looked at Lin Xiao, asking for him to explain more.
Since the others have already left and Lin Xiao had also counted those who left, he pointed to the ground and started to read, "Fire, metal, earth, wood, darkness, wind, thunder, water, ice, light."
After that, Lin Xiao looked at them. "Pick your route and memorized the word. No matter what you do inside, you have to follow the route that had this word engraved on them."
The others nodded solemnly. They had heard that the death"s toll was extremely high, so it means that they would need to pick the one that suited them the best.
Princess Lan Yi Hua stood before the fire path, Prince Lin San stood before the wind path, Xia Ye stood before the darkness path, Prince Lin Yan paused for a moment before he stood before the thunder path. His action stunned the others because even Prince Lin San didn"t know his older brother actually had lightning element.
"Bro, you…"
"I have dual element just like you but my main element is not one that I can show outside. I usually only show that I don"t have any element." Prince Lin Yan shrugged. He looked at Lin Xiao. "How about those without element?"
"Everyone have element but if you really have none, you have to follow one of the path of light and when you reach the end, pick the different one that looked like the void word." Lin Xiao was reading the additional explanation that he just found next to each path.
It seemed that the world was filled with so many mysteries. He felt a bit eager to find out more about it.
"Curb your desire and aim to get stronger. If you don"t, you"ll die."
"You d.a.m.n dragon, why did you have to give me a time limit now?"
"I"m just saying, d.a.m.n you!"
Lin Xiao ignored the dragon and continued reading. He noticed that Hu Fei had stood before the metal elements. It seemed that he was mainly focused on metal compared to fire even though he become blacksmith.
"Xiao, how about you?" Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her eyebrows. There was no word "lake" at all. If Lin Xiao had to pick water, it was not suitable for him, right?
"Ah… I"m in this path." Lin Xiao stood before the light word, feeling a bit apprehended. He was reading the explanation and felt that he was actually tricked.
"Light path:
This is the path of those who follow the light element and also those who didn"t have any element in their body. the Void word will guide you to the next stage in which you will be able to pick your real path. But if you can"t even read this, you"ll never reach your next destination. Heh, good luck brat."
