Chapter 915 Unexpected
When seven days pa.s.sed, through the Observant Finger Jade Plate, Qin Wushuang saw that forty-eight of the fifty people with Advanced Soaring Galaxia Commanding Plates had already reached the Eighth Stage.
However, Yun Honger was still wandering in the Sixth Stage, still moving at an unhurried speed. It seemed that she did not come to explore this G.o.d Discarding Maze, but was treating it more like a tour.
At this moment, Qin Wushuang was almost certain that something was fishy with this Yun Honger.
Qin Wushuang almost wanted to make a move and take Yun Honger as his puppet. However, considering how she might have comrades, it would not be ideal to beat the gra.s.s and scare the snake.
After all, the power of this Yun Honger was different from those elite warriors. She was an elite warrior at the Fifth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. If one of his attacks failed, it would be great trouble if she was allowed to wake.
It"s not as easy to pursue a person in this G.o.d Discarding Maze compared to the outside world. No one would have total freedom to exert all of their power.
After all, this G.o.d Discarding Maze was not an ordinary place. It was full of mechanisms. If he triggered a mechanism, he would have dug his own grave, let alone kill her.
The only fortunate thing was that clearly, this Yun Honger did not realize that someone was tracking her. Along the way, she was free from that cautious att.i.tude. On the contrary, she had become even bolder and was searching carefully for something at each corner of the maze.
Qin Wushuang knew that there would be some goods within this Sixth Stage. For example, there might be a Supreme Dao weapon, armor, or some secret training books.
If one were to conduct a thorough search, there would surely be some rewards.
However, with her power at the Fifth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, this Yun Honger would not just simply be searching for those goods with such caution.
Before an elite warrior of the Fifth Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao, Supreme Dao weapons and armor were extremely insignificant goods. Unless they were Genuine Divine weapons, it"d be difficult to make Genuine Supreme Dao elite warriors bat an eye.
Starting from the Sixth Stage, there were many battle ruins from the immemorial period along the way. All the dried bones that reeked of blood retained their original appearance. Nothing had changed after tens of thousands of years.
One would not know how this G.o.d Discarding Maze retained itself, to prevent tens and thousands of years of time from pa.s.sing away.
However, for those battle ruins along the way, besides corpses and skeletons, there were no weapons or equipment.
It was clear that at such a visible place, even if there were weapons and equipment, they would not be kept until this point when all those groups of adventurers came in.
Up to this point, the chance to pick up something was slim. There would be only two ways to pick up some goods within the G.o.d Discarding Maze.
One path was to head to the place that was never opened publicly.
The other path was to search with one hundred percent concentration.
Along the way, Qin Wushuang did not diverge his concentration. While he observed this G.o.d Discarding Maze, he paid attention to each of Yun Honger"s movements.
Indeed, one stage after another was more dangerous in the G.o.d Discarding Maze. Although this was a place where many ancestors explored, there were many unexpected disturbances along the way.
There were those random mechanism defenses and also hidden monsters. Of course, it was clearly impossible for them to form a threat to Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang was losing his patience to this Yun Honger. This girl was able to restrain herself. After ten days, she came to the Seventh Stage.
This Seventh Maze was called the Extreme Desert. Yellow sand filled his eyes and caused Qin Wushuang to spend some extra effort to hide his figure.
Fortunately, this Yun Honger did not plan to linger within this Seventh Stage. Instead, she found the transportation formation and entered the Eighth Maze.
At the Eighth Maze, in fact the degree of danger was enough to threaten any Transformation Supreme Dao elite warrior. Even for Genuine Supreme Dao elite warriors, they would not dare to let down their guard.
As soon as Qin Wushuang entered the Eighth Maze, King Cicada sent his spiritual perception, "Young Wushuang, how are things on your end?"
"Chief King Cicada, this Yun Honger is extremely cunning, she is still wandering within the Eighth Maze. How are you things on your end, is that Nine Change Celestial White Tiger also extremely cunning?"
"Humph, indeed this guy is hiding something. There are many different strange stone sculptures within the Ninth Maze, also many seals. You must be careful, do not let people destroy those seals. Although I don"t know much about these seals, most likely they are used to repress the immemorial foreign tribe b.a.s.t.a.r.ds."
King Cicada was giving him a friendly reminder.
Qin Wushuang felt somewhat appreciative inwardly as he responded, "Chief King Cicada, how do you plan to take care of that Nine Change Celestial White Tiger?"
"Now I have yet to make a move. When he exposes his flaw, I will kill him with a thunderbolt move. I will not beat the gra.s.s to scare the snake. It"ll look as if he were prisoned by the mechanisms in this maze. In this case, we can also confuse his ears and eyes."
Qin Wushuang agreed to this method profoundly. "Good, this is a nice method. I will use it as a reference. Chief King Cicada, since Li Buyi asked us to shadow these two guys, most likely there will be other b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. We must stay fully vigilant."
"Ha ha, that"s right. Wushuang, if it does not work, just take down that Yun Honger. You cannot keep lingering behind in this G.o.d Discarding Maze. I am telling you that the Ninth Maze was not opened publicly in the past. There are many exceptional goods. Now, many people are already getting crazy."
Qin Wushuang laughed. "Alright, let them rake it first, I trust that it"s not easy to b.u.mp into those rare goods. Those that came out now are just some worthless ones."
King Cicada laughed and did not speak anymore.
He knew that this young man had his own opinion. Perhaps, he might not hope to get anything from this Ninth Maze.
King Cicada knew he was the inheritor to the immemorial formation. Most likely, Qin Wushuang"s treasures would not lose to these totem powerhouses.
Although the goods at the Ninth Maze were good, how could they enter his eyes? Besides, those that appeared now were some satisfactory goods. Perhaps, Coagulate Supreme Dao and Transformation Supreme Dao warriors might be allured, but to Genuine Supreme Dao elite warriors, they would be meaningless.
Before rare goods appeared, everyone kept their composure.
Yun Honger lingered two more days within the Eighth Maze. It seemed as if she was deliberately waiting for all those people to retreat from the Ninth Maze. Then, she entered.
Only, upon having entered the Ninth Maze, perhaps it will be difficult to take another step further to many martial artists. It was clearly impossible for them to do whatever they wanted in the Ninth Maze.
This Yun Honger was rather smart. After three days of waiting, she finally entered the Ninth Maze.
The Ninth Maze was called the Heavenly Reciprocal Maze. The greatest unique aspect of this maze was the huge amount of stones. Different shapes of stones were posed weirdly and they represented thoughtful postures.
Clearly, these stones were not made from ordinary material. Their solidity could match up to Supreme Dao weapons at the Seventh or Eighth Calamity.
Inside the Heavenly Reciprocal Maze, through three days of cleaning sand out of the billow, already four elite warriors lost their lives one after the other. Three or four cases of fighting for goods also appeared.
Of course, like the outside word, the weak are the prey to the strong. Certainly those stronger ones would have the gain in the end.
Bao Bao and the others heeded to Qin Wushuang"s instructions closely. They would never be part of any dispute or looting. Unless the goods fell right before their eyes, they would never become involved.
Such resolution saved them from a lot of trouble. To such honest people, no one would be bored enough to find trouble with them.
After all, everyone came to this place to search for treasures and fortuitous opportunities. They were not here to seek trouble. Since they did not cause trouble, it was unnecessary to seek trouble. Everyone shall make a fortune peacefully.
When Yun Honger went up, those that stayed at the Ninth Maze planned to stop from further exploring.
They were either already injured, or incapable of moving forward.
Those few that still lingered were dissatisfied about the Ninth Maze and wanted to stay to try to make a fortune.
In total, there were about ten of them. Compared to the fifty slots, the number was clearly very few.
Of course, the most elite warriors would never linger at the Ninth Maze.
As soon as Yun Honger arrived, she changed her countenance. After wandering for half a day, she began to rally the crowd that lingered here. She claimed to have found a hidden prohibition area and she needed the collaboration of many people to break the seal.
Observing with a pair of cold eyes, Qin Wushuang verified that Yun Honger did not have any friends to meet. Inwardly, he already set up his mind.
At the time, he did not expose her. Instead, he pretended to be a lingering martial artist at this Ninth Maze as he deliberately wandered before Yun Honger.
Initially, he thought that since this Yun Honger enticed people from everywhere, certainly she would use him.
Unexpectedly, this Yun Honger was slightly surprised when she saw him. Immediately after, her expression became calm as she called out, "Qin Wushuang, the one with the Graceful Spiritual Bow?"
Qin Wushuang pretended to be hesitant. "Elite warrior of the Fish Dragon Clan from the Endless Eastern Sea?"
Yun Honger revealed a faint smile and said with deliberate exaggeration, "Yes, you are really popular these years. It"s like thunder piercing my year to hear you at the Endless Eastern Sea."
"Ha ha, excuse my poor performance."
Yun Honger nodded and asked curiously, "How is your trip up to this point?"
Qin Wushuang shrugged. "I am not interested in little fishes and shrimps, let them compete for the treasure. I am more interested in the history of the immemorial G.o.ds fighting the foreign tribes. What do you think, Daoist Yun?"
Yun Honger squeezed a smile and clearly was trying to botch the topic, "Indeed, the immemorial age was grand and also tragically moving. When I saw this G.o.d Discarding Maze, I finally knew what difficult time the seniors of the immemorial age had."
The two of them chatted ambiguously, yet both harbored unfathomable motives. Qin Wushuang wanted to probe Yun Honger. And she was clearly vigilant of Qin Wushuang.
Upon seeing how this Yun Honger was vividly trying to be a thousand miles apart from him, Qin Wushuang could not refrain from finding it strange. Could it be she saw through him?
