Chapter 1925: Onlooker
Feng Wu said, “Alright.”
“By the way, Xiao Wu,” Feng Xun smacked his head as he remembered something. He then handed Feng Wu an item. “This is for you.”
It was a brocade box that looked quite shabby.
“Guess what’s inside,” Feng Xun sounded quite pleased with himself.
Feng Wu glanced at him. “Is it a Substitute Talisman?”
“What?” Feng Xun looked like he had seen a ghost. “How do you know that? Can you see through the box?”
Feng Wu opened it and saw that it really was a Substitute Talisman.
She put it away with a smile and patted Feng Xun on the arm. “I helped you get it. Of course I know what it is.”
“You helped me? You weren’t even there! But thanks to your blessing, I was so…”
Before he could finish…
Whoosh!
A flying dagger came at Feng Wu.
It glinted coldly and was as fast as an arrow!
“Watch out!” Feng Xun stepped out and caught the thin blade between his fingers.
“Is someone throwing weapons at us from some hidden corner?” Feng Xun frowned.
“Show me.” Feng Wu took the dagger and studied it.
Seeing the material it was made from, how sharp it was, and its speed… Feng Wu’s face darkened.
“Xiao Wu, what’s wrong?” Feng Xun realized that something wasn’t right.
“It seems that our real trial has begun. Everyone get ready!” Feng Wu shouted.
“Xiao Wu?” Feng Xun and the others were all confused.
Feng Wu said, “This flying dagger wasn’t thrown by a person. If I’m correct, it’s from a triggered mechanism, and it’s only an early warning. The real battle hasn’t even started yet.”
“Hahahahaha —”
Just then, they heard someone guffawing above them.
That laughter…
Everyone looked up.
And there it was!
The malicious Black Robe Ghost King’s giant face was laughing again.
“Kiddo, you’re correct. That was just a little ‘hello’.”
“Your Grace?!”
The others cried out in unison.
The ghost king stared at Feng Wu, enjoying the feeling of being in control.
“You can ask one question. Ask away,” the ghost king gloated.
“Can I switch to the Chosen…” Feng Wu covered Feng Sang’s mouth before she could finish.
If she really asked that question, their only chance would be wasted.
Luckily, Feng Xun was clever enough and asked immediately, “How do we find the stairs?”
“Hahaha, boy, you’ve asked the right question.” The ghost king laughed. “It’s very straightforward. The staircase will open when you defeat the boss on each level.
“And here’s a bonus: The Chosen Team doesn’t need to do this. They just need to find the chance to run up those stairs. Hahaha —”
He was obviously very happy being an onlooker. But Feng Wu and her team weren’t happy at all.
“Boss? What’s that?”
“I think it’s something like the overlord of each floor.”
“The other team has double our time. They don’t have to defeat the bosses and only have to run up the stairs.”
“That’s why their level is Difficult and ours is Hell…”
“This mission is impossible…”
They were still discussing it, when…
