Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

393: Forked RoadNow, there is nothing here.

”That shouldn’t be right. There were definitely many dangers here before, and there were formations as well. I have no reason to lie to you about this!” Wu Wenlong said.

Listening to Wu Wenlong’s words, Yue Xiaojie felt no emotion whatsoever.

Zhou Xun, standing nearby, chimed in with a sarcastic, mocking tone, ”Enough. With the level of skill you have, I don’t even know what to say.”

”Let’s continue moving forward. Regardless of whether there is danger here or not, at least the path we have taken so far has not been wrong,” Chen Tianming said calmly.

He felt no annoyance at their bickering.

They had been arguing for so long along the way that his tolerance for these people had definitely reached its peak.

Originally, he had thought they wouldn’t encounter anything at all, but as they went further, he discovered that things were far less absurd than they had imagined.

The corridor had been safe and sound initially, but as they reached the end, it became increasingly narrow, forcing them to crawl forward. Such a posture made them far too vulnerable to injury.

”Wu Wenlong, was the passage you took before like this as well?” Yue Xiaojie asked.

Listening to Yue Xiaojie’s words, Wu Wenlong shook his head and replied, ”No, it wasn’t.”

Yue Xiaojie then said, ”Since that’s the case, what do we have to worry about? If so, let’s hurry up and go.”

Hearing Yue Xiaojie’s words, a look of mockery appeared on Zhou Xun’s face, ”Hmph, looking at your pathetic state, it’s truly enough.”

Yue Xiaojie ignored Zhou Xun and turned to look at Chen Tianming, asking, ”Brother Chen, how should we proceed from here?”

”Just follow me,” Chen Tianming said with a smile.

After saying this, he turned around and took the lead, walking forward.

Seeing this, Yue Xiaojie hurriedly followed.

After all, she had heard that Chen Tianming knew formations; he was a good person to have around!

Although Chen Tianming hadn’t spoken up just now, Yue Xiaojie knew that he definitely had a way to help her break the formations.

Sure enough, after walking only a few steps, a fork in the road appeared ahead.

Looking at the two paths ahead, Yue Xiaojie couldn’t help but frown, ”Big Brother Chen, which one do you think is better?”

”What do you think?” Chen Tianming asked.

”I think this one,” Zhou Xun said without thinking.

Yue Xiaojie also added, ”This one is a bit wider, but there are formations ahead.”

”Do you think Brother Chen can break the formations?” Zhou Xun asked Yue Xiaojie.

Yue Xiaojie shook her head, ”I don’t know. I don’t know if you, Chen Tianming, know any formations.”

Yue Xiaojie’s tone was very relaxed, as if she didn’t really care.

Wu Wenlong, on the other hand, looked at that path with a very grave expression.

Chen Tianming smiled and said, ”Regardless of anything else, I believe in myself. Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can also make your own choice.”

After saying this, Chen Tianming chose the path on the right. Wu Wenlong followed closely behind.

”Brother Chen, what are you saying? How could I possibly doubt you?” Zhou Xun hurriedly said.

”Then do you think this formation can stop us?” Chen Tianming asked Zhou Xun.

”I think this one should be able to stop us, after all, our strength is not as great as yours,” Zhou Xun said after thinking for a moment.

”Oh.” Hearing Zhou Xun say this, Chen Tianming nodded and continued walking forward.

Seeing Chen Tianming walk away, Zhou Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Yue Xiaojie looked at Wu Wenlong.

”Big Brother Wu, let’s follow,” Zhou Xun said, noticing that Wu Wenlong was a bit hesitant.

”Forget it, even if we teamed up, it would be futile. Who is Chen Tianming? How could people like us possibly contend with him?” Wu Wenlong sighed.

”Enough. Being able to have Brother Chen take you along is his mercy!” Yue Xiaojie coldly mocked, ”If it were someone else, you would have been killed long ago! And that goes for today as well.”

Hearing Yue Xiaojie say this, Wu Wenlong couldn’t help but look up at the man in front.

”Aren’t you afraid of death?” Wu Wenlong asked Yue Xiaojie in a low voice.

”Hehehe, I’m not afraid of death. Let’s go.” After saying this, Yue Xiaojie gave him a mocking look, scanning him up and down.

Seeing that look from Yue Xiaojie, Wu Wenlong felt incredibly frustrated. He knew that Yue Xiaojie was deliberately targeting him.

Therefore, Wu Wenlong couldn’t be bothered to say anything more and simply followed Yue Xiaojie.

Seeing the two of them leave, Zhou Xun didn’t dare to delay and immediately jogged to catch up.

Yue Xiaojie sneered as she watched Zhou Xun’s back. She had always found such behavior from Zhou Xun distasteful; after all, for a talent to be drifting outside and unable to be used by her, that was the greatest regret.

She only hoped that this trip to the palace would change the other party’s mind.

”It seems to be emitting a faint starlight ahead, be careful.” Catching a glimpse of that glimmer of starlight, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but exclaim.

Because that light made him feel that it might be something good, that legendary item.

Yue Xiaojie said, ”Brother Chen, that is the legendary treasure of heaven and earth. It can be used to refine pills that increase one’s inner strength.”

”Then let’s hurry over.” Chen Tianming was also a bit tempted.

However, upon arriving, Chen Tianming discovered that it was not the legendary treasure of heaven and earth.

”It turns out that a stone is emitting the starlight. What use does this thing have?” Wu Wenlong said.

”No, it is not ordinary,” Chen Tianming said, shaking his head.

”So what if it’s not ordinary? Isn’t it just a stone? Also, I’ve heard that heaven and earth treasures contain souls. Do you think there might be an opportunity for someone’s soul to become stronger?” Wu Wenlong asked Chen Tianming excitedly.

He really wanted to obtain something good now. After all, wasn’t the reason he was receiving his current treatment simply because his strength was insufficient?

If his strength increased, how could these people continue to bully him as they had before?

”Wu Wenlong, even if it really is something good, do you think you could obtain it given your current status?” Seeing Wu Wenlong’s excited appearance, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but mock him.

Sometimes, when one gets used to bullying a person, one will end up bullying them every single time.

”Zhou Xun, you should recognize the origin of this thing, right?” Faced with such a good item, Yue Xiaojie ignored Wu Wenlong beside her, her heart and eyes entirely focused on the object.

”I do recognize it. If I’m not mistaken, this should be a type of Star Stone. It is indeed not suitable for medicine, but as a material for forging weapons, it is top-tier,” Zhou Xun nodded and said.

”Star Stone? Isn’t that a material for forging weapons?” Wu Wenlong’s eyes lit up. He had originally thought about looking for those high-level weapon forgers, but unfortunately, those people had very strange temperaments, and they had done him favors. They were the type to hold grudges, so if he went to them proactively, there definitely wouldn’t be a good outcome.
