Chapter 10 They Meet Again

Fatty and the others didn't wait for the Young Master, but they did wait for Daniel.

Daniel cautiously poked his head out from a hole next to the temple. Taking advantage of the others' inattention, he sneaked up to them.

By the time Fatty and the others noticed Daniel, it was already too late.

Daniel smiled eerily, his dark gun muzzle aimed at them.

Daniel's face was covered in blood, and his upper body was naked. His right arm was holding the gun, but his left arm was gone, replaced by a leg that looked eerily like a Zanbijia.

This leg occupied the original position of the arm in an extremely twisted posture. It looked very uncoordinated. The connection between the leg and the shoulder was like a pool of black engine oil covering the surface. Black roots extended from the base of the twisted leg and plunged into the skin to which it was connected.

These black roots continued to grow under Daniel's skin, and it was clear that many black threads had spread to his neck.

"We meet again," Daniel's voice was strange, hoarse and muffled, as if he were speaking from his abdomen and chest.

Daniel drove the three of them to the bronze door, signaling them to open it. Fatty used all his strength but couldn't push the bronze door. Helpless, Fatty spread his hands at Daniel.

Daniel didn't waste words with them. He walked to the bronze door, observed it for a moment, and then pressed the monster's leg against the bronze door.

It felt like Daniel didn't use much force, but the bronze door was slowly pushed open with a "creak," "creak."

Fatty, Rou Yi, and Han Yu were shocked by this scene. They thought, "This guy has turned into a monster!"

Daniel didn't give them a chance to think. He shook the gun in his hand, signaling them to enter the bronze door.

The other side of the bronze door was a world different from the underground palace.

This space was even larger than the space where the temple was located. Looking up, you couldn't see the top. The interior had almost no decoration. It was full of traces of axes and chisels, very primitive and ancient.

A huge meteorite was embedded in the wall on one side of the space, emitting a strong yellow-green light, bright and dazzling. The strong light seemed to melt people's eyes, making them dare not look directly at the light source.

The light from the meteorite illuminated the entire space, and the yellow-green light was particularly eerie. The brightness of the space where the underground farmland was located was less than one-tenth of this.

The wall connected to the meteorite also emitted a yellow-green fluorescence. The closer to the meteorite, the brighter the rock, and the weaker the light the further away, as if some substance from the meteorite had seeped into the rock on the wall.

Han Yu thought that the glowing spheres in the underground palace should all originate from this meteorite. The Shenmin (divine people) cut the glowing stones affected by the meteorite into spherical shapes and arranged them in the underground palace for lighting.

The ground was covered with a thick liquid, already solidified, like melted dark chocolate.

This was a large transfer station for air exchange in the underground palace. You could clearly feel the cold wind from the outside constantly circulating in the space, but you could still smell the faint stench emitted by the black liquid.

A large number of broken bones were scattered around the walls of the space. It seemed that quite a few people had died here, for unknown reasons.

After Daniel forced Rou Yi and the others into a corner of the space, Daniel stood straight in front of them, the gun pointed directly at them.

After a long time, Daniel didn't say anything or move, like a wooden stake. Fatty mustered up his courage and asked Daniel, "What do you want?"

After Fatty finished speaking and saw that Daniel didn't react, he remembered that this foreign devil didn't understand Chinese, so he winked at Rou Yi.

Rou Yi plucked up her courage and translated Fatty's words into English for Daniel.

Daniel simply said two words: "Wait."

However, his tone was even stranger, as if he had phlegm stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

Han Yu was attracted by the "unfathomable" area above the space. She stared at it for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.

Fatty followed Han Yu's gaze and looked up, but it was just a dark patch, and he couldn't see anything.

After another long time, while everyone was waiting, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, Daniel became a little panicked and anxious.

He suddenly put the gun to Rou Yi's head and asked in his unusually strange voice, "Where did that person go?"

That person was naturally the Young Master. Everyone knew it, but Rou Yi didn't answer him.

Daniel fired a shot at the top of the space and repeated the question, seemingly impatient.

"Bang"—"peng"—"eng"—"ng"

—After the sharp and piercing loud noise, there was a clear echo at first, but the echo quickly disappeared, and Han Yu fell into deep thought.

Rou Yi pursed her lips and clenched her teeth, refusing to say anything. It was unknown whether she firmly believed that Daniel wouldn't shoot or for some other reason.

Just as Daniel was about to pull the trigger, Han Yu quickly interrupted Daniel and said in English, "He will come."

Daniel stared at Han Yu fiercely and said in a hoarse voice, "You better not lie to me."

At this moment, everyone heard some subtle sounds coming from the bronze door.

The thing making the sound was moving towards the inside of the bronze door. The sound gradually became clearer until the source of the sound reached the bronze door. Only then did everyone hear that it was a clear whistle, the melody being:

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind~ The songs of victory are so loud~"

…

As soon as Fatty heard it, he knew that the Young Master was here. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and secretly hummed along:

"...Sing of our dear motherland~ From now on, march towards prosperity and strength~"

I strode through the bronze door, my clothes torn to shreds and covered in black blood, indicating that I had just experienced a very tragic battle.

When I got closer, Fatty and the others, as well as Daniel, realized that I was also dragging a black shadow monster that was tied up behind me. The black shadow monster was beaten to the point of being on its last breath, with no ability to resist.

Fatty had witnessed my strength on the living dead in that room, but he was still surprised. He didn't expect that I could beat the black shadow monster into such a state.

Rou Yi and Han Yu had an incredulous look on their faces. They looked at me, covered in blood, and then at the black shadow monster tied up like a crab. It was hard for them to imagine that I could subdue this monster.

You should know that this black shadow monster is likely the Zanbijia Great God that the Divine Kingdom has been worshiping for thousands of years. How could I easily subdue it?

The most shocked person was actually not the three of them, but Daniel.

After I walked through the bronze door, Daniel focused entirely on me.

"You… you…"

Daniel seemed to be a little scared. He tremblingly raised his gun and aimed it at me, roaring hoarsely, "Give… give it to me."

"You want it?" I said arrogantly and contemptuously, "What if I don't give it to you?"

In fact, I didn't expect Daniel to be so crazy. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have dragged the Zanbijia to confront Daniel. Wasn't this a typical case of delivering someone to their death?

"Bang!"

With the sound of a gunshot, I fell to the ground, and a pool of red blood oozed out from the bullet hole in my chest.

Daniel rushed forward quickly. He used the extremely unnatural monster leg connected to his body to lift up the tied-up black shadow monster, and then dodged into an invisible corner, not knowing what he was going to do.

Because all of this happened so quickly, it took Fatty and the others two seconds to realize that I had been shot. They quickly ran to my side.

I was already lying motionless on the ground, only exhaling and not inhaling. The bullet hole on my clothes was located at the heart. Fatty desperately felt for my pulse and shook his head tremblingly.

"Young Master is already…"

Before Fatty could finish speaking, Rou Yi cried out "Wuaa" and threw herself on me, sobbing.
