"ââSee you soon."
It swiftly entered a passage.
Shen Ye moved his neck and limbs, waved at the Cloak Man, and prepared to enter a passage too.
"Wait a minute!"
The Cloak Man grabbed him.
"Whatâs wrong?" Shen Ye was confused.
"Brother, you helped me earlier and saved my life, so I have some information to share with you," the Cloak Man said.
"Iâm all ears," Shen Ye said.
"Inside the passage is a completely chaotic space that will manifest what you desire."
"Fulfill wishes? Sounds pretty good."
"But you must fight, because if you get entangled with those desires, you canât move forwardââ"
"To reach the end, you must fight it!"
"ââBy fighting, you automatically give up your desires, your speed wonât be affected, and you can traverse the passage fastest."
The Cloak Man spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Thanks for the info," Shen Ye said.
"Youâre welcome. Itâs best we meet at the passageâs endââwho knows, nest-building is such an ancient task that not much has been passed down..."
"I hope both of us have good luck."
The Cloak Man jumped into a passage, quickly shot up, and disappeared.
Shen Ye shrugged and jumped into a nearby passage.
This passage seemed to have some sort of power, directly carrying him upward, instantly merging into darkness.
Shen Ye looked around, only seeing endless darkness.
Yet within this darkness were four long beams of light.
Not far away.
Within one beam of light, the Cloak Man was flying upwards.
In the other two beams were figures, clearly the Star Woman and the "King."
ââIt turns out everyone can see each other!
The Cloak Man looked at Shen Ye and transmitted:
"Bro, remember, donât be defeated by your own desires!"
"Alright," Shen Ye responded.
ââThe other party is so concerned, probably recognizing my loyalty.
Okay.
This is how friendships should be made.
Like the long-haired man, suddenly wanting to rush into a passage, completely ignoring the teamââ
Definitely canât cooperate anymore!
Shen Ye continued to fly upwards.
Suddenly.
He saw the Star Woman in the distance seemed to be in trouble.
Within her beam of light, a man with pure white wings on his back appeared, blocking the path and speaking with her.
Tears streamed from the Star Womanâs eyes, and she went forward to embrace the man.
A flash.
The Cloak Man and the "King" continued flying upwards, swiftly surpassing her.
Shen Ye tightly followed.
ââTruly shocking if desires involve "spirits" too!
"Hey, thatâs an angel," Shen Ye transmitted to the Cloak Man.
"The passageâs function is to âfulfill wishes,â so even bringing the dead back to life is possible," the Cloak Man explained.
Shen Ye looked towards the other side.
In front of the "King" appeared a luxurious treasure chest.
This was something quite novel for the "King," as they stopped and curiously inspected the chest.
ââIs this what the "King" desires?
Shen Ye felt a bit curious, but the light carried him forward at an increasing speed, flashing past the "King" and continuing to fly upwards.
At this moment.
Among the four, two people were already attracted by their desires.
ââSeems like the Cloak Man wasnât entirely wrong.
To quickly reach the passageâs end, indeed nothing can distract you, and you canât stop.
In the darkness.
Several beams of light shot upwards.
They formed new beams, reaching far into the distant sky.
Including the previous ones, there were nine beams in total.
ââEveryone is here now!
Now.
Just watch who can pass through the passage first and reach within the inverted Black Coffin Mountain!
Shen Ye withdrew his gaze and flew upwards with full effort.
Time seemed to stretch.
Yet his speed accelerated.
The Cloak Man flew alongside Shen Ye, together following the light beam.
Suddenly.
In the Cloak Manâs beam, a crown appeared.
"Itâs the lost crown of our tribe!"
The Cloak Man was startled and spoke impulsively.
His speed slowed as he reached out for the crown.
"Hey!"
Shen Ye shouted as he flew past, "Fightâcut it down!"
Just as he shouted, Shen Ye found something also appearing ahead in the light beam.
He couldnât help but tense.
Things appeared specifically in the light beam.
ââWhat would try to stop him?
Getting closer.
He finally saw clearly, it was a tall stack of property deeds.
Thisââ
This indeed has an attraction!
His biggest dream is to idle around, sit on a small stool, by the neighborhood shop, basking in the sun.
ââDonât underestimate!
The long knife flashed, slashing hundreds of times at the stack of property deeds.
Clang!
Resheath the blade!
Shen Yeâs speed didnât slow, continuing forward.
Looking back.
The Star Woman was still entangled with the winged man.
The "King" had opened the chest and was seriously searching through the items within.
The Cloak Man hurriedly knocked the crown away and caught up.
While flying, he gestured to Shen Ye, seemingly still speaking.
Shen Ye was puzzled.
ââHe seemed to be saying "be careful."
Careful of what?
But saw the Cloak Man suddenly flip his wrist, pulling out a giant shield, placing it beneath his behind.
Shen Ye looked down accordingly.
In the depths of darkness.
Several fierce and aggressive techniques emitted bizarre gray shadows.
These techniques were like gray tadpoles, jumping back and forth between the beams, chasing after several people.
"You will not harm him!"
The Star Woman shouted sternly.
She hugged the angel and directly used the Teleportation Technique, both leaving the beam, destination unknown.
The "King" turned and punched forcefully.
