Chapter 916: Chapter 228: Where Did Things Go Wrong? [2-in-1]
The two slowly got up and began to walk back using the gentlest movements.
In the silence, they could even clearly hear each other’s heartbeat.
"In the lake... I recalled, there’s not even any fish in the waters around here." Fang Che said softly.
Yan Beihan bit her lip and said quietly, "When I first jumped into the lake, I remember seeing plenty of fish."
"On a dead tree here, I saw traces of ants once being there."
Fang Che continued.
"Me too, in the soil beneath several dead trees, there were traces of earthworms. But now, they’re all gone!"
Yan Beihan felt the Elixir Pills in her mouth and said, "Is this... the Heavenly King Pill?"
"Yes."
Yan Beihan’s eyes lingered on his face for a moment before lowering her eyelids.
Yemo truly is a talent.
In such a situation, he still remembered to give me the Guardian’s Heavenly King Pill instead of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s Dan Yun Divine Pill...
Such meticulous attention to detail, apart from having seen it in Feng Yun and Chen Yin, Yan Beihan felt that she hadn’t noticed a third person with this level of careful thought among the youthful talents.
"I’ll repay you with a bottle of our Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s Dan Yun Divine Pills." Yan Beihan said softly, "Below the Monarch Level, no matter the injury, it can immediately recover."
"Well, thank you."
Fang Che naturally wouldn’t stand on ceremony and chuckled, "I didn’t expect to benefit from this."
Yan Beihan wanted to snort, but given the perilous area, it wasn’t the time for sulking, so she didn’t.
Thinking, if it weren’t for you being Yemo, at most, I’d give you back just one Pill. Not a whole bottle!
But this point can’t be expressed to him.
Let this self-proclaimed formidable fool stew in his own thoughts.
Thinking this, though still in the danger zone, she suddenly felt a bit more comfortable.
Seeing that they were about to return to the lakeside, Yan Beihan had also recovered. The Heavenly King Pill’s effect indeed rivaled the Dan Yun Divine Pill.
Lightening her mood, she took out a bottle of Dan Yun Divine Pills from her Space Ring for Fang Che: "Here."
Without waiting for Fang Che to reply.
Yan Beihan frowned and said, "I’m only puzzled about one thing now."
Fang Che squinted his eyes, "The previous Yin-Yang Realm trials?"
"Correct."
Yan Beihan in her heart increasingly admired him, saying, "With such difficulty, given our capabilities entering this region, it’s still incredibly tough, often leading to life-and-death crises... So how did disciples of the Outer World Mountain Sect in the past manage to leave alive?"
She extended her fair hand.
The Space Ring she acquired upon entering was now showing three cracks.
"Just now, it had only two."
Yan Beihan said.
Fang Che hurriedly checked his ring and found that his Space Ring also had an additional crack.
"In such a short time... I’ve nearly died three times too."
Fang Che sighed.
"You’ve also survived three life-and-death moments?" Yan Beihan leaned over to check.
"Yes."
Both fell silent.
"I don’t think the disciples from the Outer Mountain Gate previously entering the Yin Yang Realm had capabilities beyond ours." Yan Beihan said softly.
This was also Fang Che’s thought.
As it stands now, whether in experience, meticulousness, preparedness, or post-entry advancement... Fang Che dared to say confidently he’d rank in the top five among all who entered!
Even top three!
It was just too dense with battles, too frequent with life-and-death situations.
With Little Bear beside them, it was like carrying a trouble magnet. At least, such treatment wasn’t something others had.
The majority of other Outer World Mountain Sect talents coming in, in all aspects of aptitude, experience, combat power, etc., should rank below the two of them.
This point was undoubted.
"If previous disciples of the Outer Mountain Gate all had our level, then frankly... so many periods later, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect and Guardians would have long ceased to exist."
Yan Beihan spoke quickly and softly, "So among this, there must be something we don’t know about. Or perhaps, once they entered, they were just trialing in some safe places."
"That’s not right."
Fang Che said, "The place we entered was basically the safest area, but such places have no crisis nor Heavenly Treasures."
Yan Beihan nodded slowly.
Both were meticulous thinkers, while they couldn’t claim to be the best of all times, they could surely say they were unrivaled in modern times with mutual validation.
However, after pondering for a long time, they remained bewildered without a clue.
"For now, we can only take one step at a time."
Yan Beihan said softly, "For safety, we can’t separate in the near term. Seems like we’ll have to cooperate for a while."
Fang Che nodded, "Then let’s wait until we’re out to turn against each other."
The remark was utterly shameless.
Yan Beihan rolled her eyes silently upward.
That bastard!
Suddenly, the desire to give him a thrashing arose again, feeling itchy in her hands and feet.
Nodding heavily, through gritted teeth said, "Fine, let’s turn against each other once out!"
Deciding firmly.
Turning against him once out? I’ll fry you!
Upon returning to the lake edge.
Little Bear was playing, doing flips, standing on his head, rolling around, thoroughly at ease.
Both simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against a tree, neither wanting to speak for a moment.
But their minds didn’t rest for a moment.
Given their current situation, they were nearly at the point where even breathing couldn’t be loud, what to do next?
