Chapter 23: The Colossal Warrior

  "Go take a look..." Wu You strode decisively towards the entrance of the corridor where the sounds of fighting were coming from. Fang Tian Nan could only follow closely behind.

  If judging solely by the sounds, this fight should involve no less than three people. At least, when Fang Tian Nan heard Wu You and the giant stone warrior fighting earlier, the sound transmitted was absolutely not as loud as this time. However, just as Fang Tian Nan followed Wu You and was about to approach the entrance of the passage, two people stumbled out of the passage in disarray.

  "It's actually you two?" Wu You looked at the two of them, feeling a bit surprised, and said, "You two have actually ended up in the same place. It's really unexpected."

  "Uh, Wu You Shimei...". One of them heard the voice and immediately turned around to take a look. A hint of delight flashed across his face at first, but then he seemed to realize the implication of Wu You's words and said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "It's not that we have no choice..."

  "Hello, I've long heard that Wu You of the Qingyun Sect is a bold and meticulous person who speaks without reserve. Today, I finally get to meet you." Another person, also facing Wu You, cupped his hands and said, "I am Wang Ziyu of the Bihai Sect."

  "I know you," Wu You hastily said, opening her mouth, "It's just that I didn't expect the two of you to run into each other."

  "Right, let's hurry up and go." Prince You seemed to have thought of the current situation, his face changed immediately, saying "These two monsters are indeed formidable."

  As he spoke, he didn't care about Wu You's reaction and took the lead, rushing out of the passageway, passing by Wu You, and entering the hall. However, Wang Ziyu immediately felt the change in expressions between the few people, as well as their strange movements, and surprisingly, they did not follow him to dodge together, so he couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

  At this moment, the giant stone warrior who was originally chasing Wang Ziyu and others had stopped at the entrance of the passage, put away his weapon in hand, and did not come out.

  "What's this?......" Soon, Wang Youyou looked around and saw that the giant stone warrior who was chasing Wu You at another entrance of the passage, muttered strangely, "Is it safe?"

  "Hmm, temporarily, I suppose it's safe for now." Wu You nodded with a profound meaning.

  。。。。。。

  Four people in the hall, introduced each other briefly.

  Another member who came out of the passage with Wang Ziyu was Deng Baichuan, an inner disciple of Qingyun Sect. Fang Tian Nan took a glance at him and estimated that he was around thirty years old. No wonder he had called Wu You as his junior sister earlier. As for Wang Ziyu's age, it was roughly equivalent to Deng Baichuan's.

  According to Wu You's explanation, these two people were not on good terms before entering the Transmission Cave Heaven. Although they separately entered the Qingyun Sect and Bihai Sect, they had known each other since childhood. On their subsequent cultivation paths, they also constantly compared their progress with each other.

  Compared to others, Wang Ziyu's strength is more outstanding. At least, Fang Tiannan knew that when they were sitting in the room with the couch, Wang Ziyu was the second person to stand up after Gu Yanrou.

  Like Wu You, Wang Ziyu and Deng Baichuan were also surprised that Fang Tiannan could enter the main hall as an outer disciple. Deng Baichuan's gaze towards Fang Tiannan was full of admiration. After all, Fang Tiannan was a member of the Qingyun Sect, making him Deng Baichuan's fellow sect member. Wang Ziyu's expression towards Fang Tiannan was more complex, with a mix of incredulity and regret.

  It was worth noting that among the four people present, except for Wang Ziyu, the other three were all from Qingyun Sect. This put invisible pressure on Wang Ziyu.

  "I previously, after breaking through the human-shaped wooden puppet's obstruction on the mountain path, came to the endless cave passage." Deng Baichuan said at this time, "After searching for a while, I finally entered this underground palace, but soon encountered the giant stone warrior..."

  As he spoke, Deng Baichuan's eyes also showed a few points of fear as he glanced at the entrance of the passage, where the giant stone warrior stood.

  Pursuing Deng Baichuan and Wang Ziyu were two giant stone warriors, one wielding a sword and the other a knife.

  Deng Baichuan and Wang Ziyu did not meet from the start, but rather after being chased by the Golem Warriors separately and fleeing in all directions. As a result, their situation did not improve even after meeting each other. The pursuit of the two Golem Warriors could be said to have made them more desperate than Wu You. Even with their differences in the outside world, they had no choice but to join forces to resist.

  "Fortunately, these giant stone warriors seem to have no intention of killing us in one fell swoop." Prince You explained, with a nostalgic expression, "They seemed to be just driving us away."

  "Are you coming into this hall?" Fang Tian Nan's heart moved slightly as he asked.

  "You say that, and I really do have such a feeling." Wangzi nodded, "Baichuan, do you still remember during the escape process, there were several times when their attacks were extremely fierce, but sometimes their attacks would weaken a lot?"

  "Hmm." Deng Baichuan nodded, "There is such a situation."

  "At the time, I didn't quite understand why it was like that. But now...," Wang Ziyu continued to observe the layout of the hall and said, "It should be because we chose the right path to come to this hall, their pursuit will be weaker. If we had chosen incorrectly, the reaction of these giant stone warriors would have been more intense."

  "So, no matter which path we chose at first and what kind of battles we went through, the final outcome is that we all end up here?" Wu You summarized as a matter of course.

  At this time, a faint voice came out: "No."

  。。。。。。

  "Master!" Wu You looked up and saw that it was Gu Yanruo walking out of one of the passageway entrances.

  Deng Bai Chuan, as an inner disciple of Qing Yun Sect, naturally also rushed to greet Gu Yan Rao at this time. Even Wang Zi You of Bi Hai Sect was polite and cupped his hands when he saw Gu Yan Rao. Fang Tian Nan would not fall behind others.

  The arrival of Gu Yanruo was clearly accompanied by a strong personal aura, as if with her intervention, the several people present had become centered around her.

  A few people chatted briefly before Gu Yanmo spoke up, "I met a member of the Bi Hai Sect earlier. He didn't survive the attack by the Giant Stone Warrior, so he should be eliminated."

  "Is it Mo Ha Long's junior brother?" Wang Ziyou immediately asked aloud.

  "It should be." Wu You saw that Gu Yan did not respond, so he whispered a sentence, "There are not many people who can rush to the present. At that time, when I entered the small path, there were six people ahead of me. And behind me, Fang Tian Nan was one of them. So, there were only eight or nine people in total."

  "I should be the last one." Fang Tian Nan also stood out at this time and said, "When I came out of the room, I was the last one. And during the process of climbing the hundred steps, I didn't overtake anyone either. So before entering the small path, I'm sure that a total of eight people passed the test."

  Actually, Fang Tiannan was still ahead of several players on the hundred-step stairs. It's just that as soon as he overtook them, they were eliminated. So what Fang Tiannan said wasn't wrong either.

  But Wang Ziyu, because he was walking on the front section of the hundred-step stairs, had no idea how many people were behind him and whether they successfully reached the top. On the other hand, it was Fang Tiannan and Wu You who fell behind that had more say in this matter, and their words were easily accepted by everyone.

  "So, it seems that the maximum number of people who can gather here will not exceed seven." Deng Baichuan concluded and turned to Wang Ziyu, saying, "Wait until everyone arrives, and then you'll know if it's Mo Hailong or not."

  "Alas, it can only be this way......" Prince You couldn't help but sigh.

  If it's said that the final gathering number is seven, then just now, Qingyun Sect already has four people, occupying more than half of the total number. And he represents Bihai Sect, which only has him alone. It can be inferred that this time, the inheritance opportunity of Tongtian will likely fall to the people of Qingyun Sect.

  The prince's sigh, I don't know if it was because of this reason or because of Mo Haicheng's elimination. Or maybe both. At least, although Gu Yan didn't know Mo Hai, he could still tell whether the other party was from Bihai Sect or not. Thinking about the four people who entered the Transmission Cave Heaven from Bihai Sect this time, I'm afraid only Mo Hai has a chance to climb the hundred-step stairs.

  Thus, in Wang Ziyou's heart, he had actually defaulted that the eliminated member of Bi Hai Zong was Mo Hailong.

  As they spoke, Fang Tian Nan also learned that Mo Hai Long was the same Bi Hai Zong disciple who had gone to collect the Dan medicine bottles twice before but ended up with nothing. This made Fang Tian Nan subconsciously think of what Wu You said, about how she encountered a human-shaped wooden puppet in the small path after taking the Dan medicine. Even when climbing the hundred steps, Wu You relied on the support of the Dan medicine to pass through smoothly.

  If Mo Haixing had obtained that bottle of elixir that originally belonged to him in the first place, would the final outcome have been like this?

  Fang Tiannan couldn't think of anything else. However, regarding the strength of the few people in front of him, Fang Tiannan also had a general inference.

  Gu Yan's current situation is still unclear. After all, she had said before that she had encountered the Giant Stone Warriors, but from her being able to safely exit the tunnel entrance alone without any Giant Stone Warriors following behind, it was clear that Gu Yan's strength was unfathomable. Either she had defeated the Giant Stone Warriors or successfully shook them off.

  Wang Ziyu and Deng Baichuan are roughly equal in strength, while Wu You is about half a level behind them.

  But no matter how you arrange it, Fang Tian Nan is definitely the weakest.

  For a moment, Fang Tian Nan didn't know what kind of opportunity he could find in his next exploration. If they were to compare purely based on strength, he might not even have a single chance.
