Chapter 420

~9 min read 1,723 words

Rummaging through all his pockets, Zhang Xingyu couldn't find a single pill.

He lamented in his heart: I am truly a super poor ghost.

Looking at the unconscious Tang Yunxi in his arms, he hardened his heart and decided to lick his old face and ask Gu Yuyao for help.

As for why he had to ask Gu Yuyao for help, firstly, this girl seemed to have a good heart, and secondly, she looked like a little rich woman who wasn't short of pills.

Hmm, using a little rich woman's spirit pills to save my beautiful, wealthy woman, this idea is super great!

Sure enough!

Hearing Zhang Xingyu's request for help, Gu Yuyao took out a bottle of snow-white pills from her storage ring without hesitation.

The fifth-grade healing holy medicine "Snow Toad Jade Ginseng Pill," with two main ingredients, one is a ten-thousand-year-old snow toad, and the other is a thousand-year-old jade ginseng, both are very rare healing treasures.

After taking a fifth-grade spirit pill, Tang Yunxi's condition improved slightly. Zhang Xingyu entrusted her to Feng Qingyu and Gu Yuyao, and returned to the shore of the Silver River again.

The sunlight shone on the seven-colored gems on the palace, and the time of the Silver River flowed slowly on the stone steps outside the palace.

With auspicious clouds above his head, stepping on a flying sword, and holding a red sun in his hand, he carefully skimmed quickly over the river surface.

His back was a bit cold, his palms were a bit hot, and sweat from his nose and chin kept dripping down.

After flying tremblingly for a quarter of an hour, he finally reached the center of the heavenly river.

Opening his mouth to exhale the turbid air that had been stuck in his chest, he turned his body and landed lightly on the edge of the reef.

In front of him were two rows of divine statues carved from gold sand and jade, each wearing a golden helmet, clad in golden armor, holding an axe, with ferocious faces and sky-high killing intent.

In the center of the statues, a wide divine path led straight ahead. At the end of the divine path, a solemn and majestic pavilion was built against the mountain. This pavilion had nine floors, about fifty or sixty meters high, with flying eaves and brackets, extremely spectacular.

As soon as he stepped into the divine path, the statues on both sides of the path reacted. The eyes of the statues lit up first, and then their bodies began to move.

The statues brandished their weapons and attacked him, and Zhang Xingyu narrowly avoided them with a forward lunge.

The further he went, the more statues woke up. By the time he reached halfway, he was surrounded by these statues.

However, with his previous experience fighting monster puppets, Zhang Xingyu was not afraid.

Anything has its weaknesses. What's more, these statues were just dead objects.

From dodging to counterattacking, from counterattacking to dodging. Relying on his high-speed brain, accurate prediction, and full-agility attribute points, he reached the end of the divine path unscathed.

Once he reached the end of the divine path, the aggressive statues returned to their positions one after another, turning back into lifeless sculptures.

Zhang Xingyu looked back at these statues, then lifted his foot and stepped onto the stone steps paved with white marble.

Thirty-three steps, thirty-three checkpoints.

Each step was like a piano key, and as soon as a foot stepped on it, a crisp and long piano sound would ring out.

Whenever the piano sound rang out, a woman holding a sword would appear on the steps.

White clothes and white skirts, sword light like snow.

"Fire Dragon, Zhu Xian!"

Zhang Xingyu did not show mercy to the fair sex. The Fire Dragon held in his hand shot out, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then drifted back again.

Once the Fire Dragon came out, the woman was cut in two, and the originally crisp piano sound became hoarse like a rooster with its neck pinched.

Walking past the thirty-three steps, killing thirty-three women, the scene in front of him changed its appearance instantly as he lifted his foot.

This was a blue world. Shining stars were embedded in the azure sky, and the soft sand was covered with blue gems.

Zhang Xingyu reached out and picked one up. This gem was the size of an egg, very blue and transparent, extremely gorgeous. He took the gem to the corner of his mouth and bit it. Couldn't bite it, if he bit again, he would knock out his own teeth.

It really was a sapphire. The ground was full of sapphires, and the clarity of each one was comparable to a Kashmir sapphire.

Rich, rich.

An hour later, he lay on the ground with his limbs spread out.

The storage bag was filled with sapphires, and his hands were cramped from picking up gems.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, he stood up.

This time, he didn't bend down to pick up gems again. He didn't want to be exhausted to death by wealth.

Ahead, low chanting sounds came from time to time. The sound was intermittent and couldn't be heard clearly.

He decided to walk over and take a look.

Crisp cracking sounds came from under his feet from time to time; this was the sound of his shoe soles rubbing against the gems.

He held his head high, arms crossed, walking forward step by step.

Another hour passed.

He arrived at a golden beach. Ahead was the boundless azure ocean, and on the sea surface, holy and flawless goddesses stood stepping on the waves. These goddesses had dignified faces and solemn expressions, and were chanting softly toward the same place in the ocean with their hands forming a heart shape.

"The great Sea God lives in the ocean, your radiance illuminates all directions. How kind, how holy, nourishing all living things..."

Following the direction of the goddesses' heart-shaped hands, Zhang Xingyu saw a huge statue flashing with golden light. The statue was about ten zhang high, with a square face and wide mouth, sharp eyes, and golden hair flying in the wind. His upper body was bare, and his lower body was wrapped in a gray-green leather skirt, with his chest muscles and biceps bulging high. His pair of large hands tightly gripped a trident several zhang long, and the sharp tip of the trident flashed with a cold, biting light above the blue sea.

Following the chanting of the goddesses, invisible breaths were surging toward the forehead of the statue like a thread.

This is divine thought!

The statue lives on divine thought.

Although a bit curious, Zhang Xingyu didn't want to cause trouble.

He wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

He still had to go to the second floor, the third floor, all the way to the highest floor.

Therefore, he walked along the coast, hoping to bypass them and find the entrance to the second floor.

A day later, he returned to the original spot in disappointment. He didn't find the entrance to the second floor. To be precise, no matter how far he walked, he was always walking in circles in the same place. The goddesses were still those heart-forming goddesses, and the statue was still that shining statue.

He stopped his steps to rest for a while.

Just at this moment, the sound of footsteps came intermittently from behind him.

He turned his head. A familiar group of figures appeared at the end of his vision. From far away, Zhang Xingyu recognized them.

Fairy wife, fairy sister, and those few tactless lightbulbs.

Didn't I tell them to wait outside?

Half an hour later, Tang Yunxi, Gu Yuyao, Feng Qingyu, and a group of Tianya Haige disciples arrived in front of Zhang Xingyu.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu, these people all let out a long sigh of relief.

Tang Yunxi patted her chest, with an expression of a heavy stone falling from her chest.

Zhang Xingyu was puzzled, how did they get in too?

The faces of Gu Yuyao and the others were full of smiles.

Gu Yuyao: "Zhang Xingyu, you've been gone for a month, we thought something happened to you!"

Feng Qingyu: "Zhang Xingyu, you worried us to death!"

Disciple A: "Senior Brother Zhang, next time let's go together!"

Everyone spoke fragrant words; although there were complaints in their words, they sounded full of care.

Only Tang Yunxi didn't speak. Her pretty face gradually turned from red to green: "Zhang Xingyu, you promised me that you would never leave me behind."

Zhang Xingyu felt very awkward. He didn't know how to answer. As a quasi-otaku, he had never learned PUA pickup techniques.

Dead, dead!

Fairy wife, you can be angry, but don't lower the favorability level.

If the favorability is not enough, the fairy wife might abandon me at any time.

"This, that..."

Zhang Xingyu laughed dryly, quickly preparing suitable language in his heart.

Just at this moment, in the center of the ocean, the huge statue suddenly made a crisp cracking sound.

Everyone looked at the sound, only to see the head of the statue turning gently. With the turning of the head, its pair of huge eyes also bloomed with strange brilliance. The statue had come alive.

"Believe in me, and gain eternal life!" Its voice was like a bell, echoing in the azure ocean for a long time.

"Believe in me, and gain eternal life!" It was deafening, and the sound echoed in everyone's mind for a long time.

Zhang Xingyu only felt dizzy and swollen.

An invisible pressure pressed him to want to bow down.

But he was unwilling, and didn't dare.

From the first moment he saw the statue, he felt incomparable disgust.

I will not believe in anyone. If there is, it can only be myself.

His divine sense shouted in his mind. Although it didn't make a sound, it also offset some of the pressure caused by the statue's voice.

"Believe in me, and gain eternal life!" The statue's big mouth kept opening and closing.

On the beach, a Tianya Haige disciple with weak willpower had already knelt on the ground.

"Lord, forgive your servant!" That Tianya Haige disciple prayed softly.
