Chapter 136-140:


    Jier quickly educated Feng Wu. Some people are just unreasonable. They dont need a reason to kill. In the future, if you encounter people with this kind of mental illness, dont be polite towards them.


    Feng Wu nodded. She understood now. Those who wanted to kill without reason were mentally unwell.


    Ming Xi secretly agreed with Jiers education. Hed only been with Feng Wu a few days, but he could see how incredibly simple and pure she was. If someone didnt properly and carefully educate her, who knew what unscrupulous person would try to take advantage of her?


    Oh, Elder Fy, is this your team? The question came from a middle aged man wearing a sword masters outfit and a mercenary groups badge on one arm. He was smiling as he walked over.


    A cold light shed in Seventh Elders eyes at the voice. Captain Anduo, youre also here. Indeed, you arrived here pretty fast!


    The news of the gods tomb spread so quickly. I heard about it and came right away. Speaking of which, I must thank Elder Fy for spreading the news. The smile on Captain Anduos face was sincere.


    There is no need. I simply didnt want the Infernopany to monopolize the gods tomb. The tomb should be shared with everyone. How can onepany be allowed to keep it to themselves? Seventh Elder Fyughed. His real thoughts were quite different. He thought if it werent for the Yiduo n, how could any of you even know about the tomb? Without us, you mercenaries wouldnt even know what you were missing.


    Anduo sneered in his heart as he thought how obvious it was that Fy was using the crowd to pressure the Infernopany to open the tomb. To cause harm with such nice words, thenugh so naturally afterwards, Fy really wasnt easy to deal with.


    The two old foxes mentally scolded each other but nothing showed on their faces.


    Another voice floated over. Fy, youre on your own? None of the other twelve elders are with you? Are you going to be able to handle all those kids on your own? The owner of the voice, a sinister man with deep undereye circles, walked up. He held a long staff in one hand and was emitting a powerful aura, clearly not someone to be trifled with.


    You just worry about your own family n Shaya. Fy snorted and began to lead his group somewhere else to wait.


    Well unlike your Yiduo n that havent had any distinguishing talenttely, my Lianye n is full of talented recruits. Shaya sneered.


    This made the group of juniors behind Fy re; their disbelief obvious. Shaya barely even registered their presence. The magic around him hummed and suddenly struck out at the juniors.


    They were just juniors so how could they detect the attack? Why would a master even attack a group of juniors?


    Attacking juniors. Shaya, youre shameless. Fy struck his staff to the ground and instantly neutralized the attack.


    Humph! Shaya walked away without even bothering to give the group a second nce.


    None of the other groups in the area intervened. It was important to conserve their strength, so why meddle in someone elses business? The people who came werent stupid. They came to find treasure inside the tomb. They wouldnt expend precious energy to battle in front of the gates.


    Fortunately Fys group found a spot to wait without saying much in retaliation. Many more people showed up but the hour passed by without incident. The Infernopany finally appeared after an endless amount of calls from the crowd.


    They were of course weed by everyone the moment they appeared. The crowd was excited and wanted to get inside the tomb as fast as possible.


    Captain Cohen, its been awhile. Well have to ask your help in exploring the tomb.


    Yes, yes. It must have been incredible luck that Captain Cohen found the key. Were all so envious!


    Brother Cohen, dont forget to take care of the Mad Lion group. We dont know the terrain inside the tomb.


    The captains of the different mercenary groups along with the elders of various ns surrounded him in an instant. Their words were short, but their meaning was clear: Its high time to open the tomb. You have a map, so share it with the rest of us.


    He knew the crowd wouldnt hesitate to kill for the key if he didnt open the tomb voluntarily.


    The more Cohen listened to them, the more he wanted to kick them. Hispany was ecstatic at the opportunity to enter the god tomb, but the group he was with werent that strong. He had only been taking them around to train a bit in the battlegrounds when the whole thing with the map happened. They needed more than the few powerful experts that gathered in front of the tomb to make the expedition work. How much exploring could they possibly do with the mishmash of talents they had now? Would they be able to exit alive if the entered?


    He had sent his fastest guy to headquarters to notify the leaders of thepany about the tomb. But it would take time for them to reorder everything and rendezvous with him and his squad. He hoped they were making haste and not wasting time fantasizing about the treasure.


    Others, like Cohen, had also sent message back to their respective organizations. The real masters and big shot leaders hadnt arrived yet. To ess the tomb and get as much treasure as possible would require additional rear support. Just the congregation gathered wasnt enough.


    Lets go to the other side, Zi Cheng said as soon as she saw Cohen appear.


    Huh? Why? Luis asked suspiciously. The others shot her suspicious nces as well.


    No one gathered around the entrance of the tomb noticed the small group of school children shift away from the crowd. Zi Cheng led Ming Xi and the others to a side location surrounded by poisonous shrubs. The mutant nts were no match for the kids.


    A side entrance? Ai Lin asked pointing to a smooth stone wall in the tomb.


    <b>c137:</b>


    Yes. There were two maps on the iron sheet I found. It showed two different entrances: a safe one and a random one. The random entrance will teleport you to a random location inside the tomb. Theres a chance you couldnd in a dangerous location.


    I didnt want to use it, but there are too many people in front of the main entrance; Plus its obvious the people from the Yiduo n dont like us. It would be dangerous to go the same way as them, so I thought we could try this route instead.


    Zi Cheng wasnt lying. She had wanted to take the safer path initially, but walking the safe path with so many people would turn dangerous quickly. There was so much treasure, people would definitely fight. They were at a disadvantage since they were such a small group. So why not take a chance and gamble on the random entrance?


    Junior Zi Cheng has a point. Even a safe road will be dangerous when you squeeze so many people together. Lets try this one. Elena was a risk-taker at heart so she wasnt concerned about the random transport.


    Yes, lets take this entrance. Just be careful after you enter. Remember, it is a gods tomb. As the ss senior in the group, Ming Xi felt it was his duty to warn everyone. While he didnt have the same rtionship with Pei Qing, Wind and Rain, they had travelled together, so technically they could be considered friends.


    The trio obediently nodded their heads. Feng Wu gazed at him with big, bright eyes. Ming Xi ignored her. At this point he was used to her tant, molesting stares.


    The ground suddenly shook. Ming Xi and the others guessed Cohen had opened the entrance.


    Zi Cheng took out the small piece of iron and aimed it at the smooth section of wall. When she did so a white light appeared above the area. An energy filled ck hole quickly reced the light.


    The kids exchanged nces then proceeded to walk into the hole one by one.


    After much endless spinning, Feng Wu appeared above what looked like beast territory. Yes it was arge expanse ofnd inhabited by beasts.[notes] She recognized the beasts, having read about them in one of the books in the library. They were called Four-Winged Sheep; high level fire type beasts. They spewed fire from their mouths and bodies all year round. Even their feathers were made of mes. The feathers were especially useful in attacking their enemies.


    It was rare to see such high level beasts unless one went to their natural habitat. This was difficult given the great danger involved.


    Feng Wu looked around. She couldnt see anyone else. Was she lost? She blinked, feeling a little ufortable. Fortunately she grew up on Yuehua mountain, so quickly adapted to being alone.


    The beasts were aware of the recent human incursion into their territory. They were quick to finish off any humans they found, but Feng Wu smelled different. These originally vicious beasts changed their minds.


    She had a wonderful scent!" They wanted to be friends with her!


    Me! Me! I want to be friends with her! The air around her feels so good


    Who is this human? Why dont I want to bash her in?


    Dozens of Four-Winged Sheep, young and old, big and small, gathered around her and gazed curiously at her. The older ones had more resistance to Feng Wu; they didnt immediately rush over to sniff her. The younger ones had no such ability. They rushed forward with wagging tails as they ran around her legs begging to be hugged and petted. Some nipped at her skirt trying to get her attention.


    Feng Wu squinted and smiled. She was great with animals, and she loved getting along with them. Although the animals in this world were strange with awesomely destructive powers, it didnt stop her from liking them.


    She wasnt afraid of the mes from the little ones. She bent down to pat them on the backs and y with their wings. It made the little ones shriek with joy.


    The adult beasts were nervous she would hurt the little ones, but they rxed upon seeing the Feng Wusck of fear toward their mes.


    Their mes werent physical, but spiritual ones. If they werent actively attacking you, then as long as you had good intentions in your heart, the mes wouldnt hurt. Conversely, if you had evil intentions, then you would suffer painfully engulfed in the mes.


    Feng Wu wasnt afraid of their mes. It proved she didnt have wicked thoughts toward them and that her heart was pure. It would have been impossible for her to be uninjured if she did.


    Even if the baby beasts were weak, their mes were still effective against humans.


    Feng Wus friendliness and herpleteck of fear toward their mes soon won the adult beasts over. The fact that she understood what they were saying made them even happier. They brought her to their cave and gave her some spiritual fruit as a weing present. It was the kind that increased bone strength.


    She took a teeny tiny small mouthful of the fruit,pletely unaware how precious it was. For her it was just a nice present from her new friends.


    While Feng Wu was leisurely eating fruit, her travelpanions were suffering.


    Jier fell headfirst into a swamp and nearly drowned.


    Wind and Rain were luckier, havingnded in a forest, however it was a huge forest and they didnt know where they were.


    Pei Qing fell into a beastir. Fortunately the beast wasnt home and Pei Qing was able to run away before it returned.


    Elena and Yifu teleported to the same location and nearly fell into a pool. If not for Elenas quick reaction they, would have turned into dinner for a magical water beast.


    Tian Ya may have just had a strong affinity for ice because he fell into a cold region surrounded by ice and snow. He was a master who understood the ice sword intent so it was an easy location for him.


    <b>c138:</b>


    Zi Cheng fell into an abandoned ruin surrounded by fallen buildings, so she was rtively safe.


    Ai Lin fell into a field filled with rare medicinal nts. Of everyone, she was the luckiest. She harvested as much as she could and stored them in her dimensional bag.


    Jasminended in a snake pit. Luckily shended with Gerasi and they were able to escape after a hard battle.


    Luis had somewhat worse luck. Hended in a desert where scorpions asionally burrowed out of the ground and chased after him.


    As for Ming Xi, his luck was incredible. Hended near a crater, nearly falling into a volcano and burning to a crisp.


    Because of the random teleportation, except for a few people who ended up together, most of them were scattered around the tomb. Each of them began moving in search of treasure.


    Feng Wu was enjoying a banquet of spiritual fruits while being entertained enthusiastically by the sheep. The sheep were native to the tomb so they knew where all the fruits grew.


    Feng Wu ate with one hand and petted with the other; she was having a great time.


    Xiao Wu, you have to be careful. This is a dangerous tomb. Its a deadly legacy left by a god. Us Four-Winged Sheep have lived here for generations, but even for us, there are ces we havent explored or dared go. Its dangerous, so you cant walk around willy nilly. A mother sheep looked at Feng Wu lovingly as she delivered her warning.


    Yes, yes, please be careful. We feel that many humans entered recently. Humans are very baaaad. Of course Xiao Wu is not bad. Xiao Wu is good. Xiao Wu must be skeptical and not believe those other humans too easily, warned another sheep.


    They liked Feng Wu and were worried she would die in the tomb, so they told her about all the safe ces they knew. But the tomb was made by a god and it was really too big. Despite living there for generations, their knowledge only extended as far as the grasnds. They didnt know anything beyond those boundaries.


    The sheep sent her off with lots of fruits. Feng Wu waved goodbye to the cute herd of sheep and continued on her journey alone.


    Jier told her not to worry if she got separated from everyone. She should first explore the area around her. Be careful of the people she met while exploring. She needed to remember to protect herself and only trust the senior sister and brothers of Ming Xis team. As for anyone else, she needed to be careful and not trust them too quickly, or believe their words too easily, this included Zi Cheng and Ai Lin.


    Feng Wu didnt understand why she shouldnt believe Zi Cheng, but she wasnt a curious person so she didnt ask. She was good at being obedient and following directions.


    She walked forward in the grasnds. The sky was filled with fluffy clouds that moved with the wind and the sun shone warmly on her head. From time to time a beast would walk by.


    Feng Wus approachable aura was powerful. Even a fierce beast, as long as it was an intelligent creature, wouldnt be malicious toward her. At worse, if it was in a particrly foul mood, it would just ignore her.


    In another direction, hundreds of people entering the tomb faced a difficult decision.


    Cohen, which way should we go? A squad captain from another mercenary group came over trying to get some information.


    Everyone had entered the tomb once the entrance was opened. They walked into an enormous hall with several doors. Each door was engraved with mysterious images and text. They knew the doors represented a choice. Choosing the wrong one meant failing or even dying.


    So which door should they take? No one dared make the first move. Everyone was curious what the Infernopany would do since they had the key. They wondered if thepany had intelligence on the tomb.


    How could Cohen not know what they were thinking? He smiled bitterly. You guys, you dont have to wait. We dont know which door to choose either. The only thing that appeared on the iron was the map to the tomb and the key. We dont know anything else.


    Members of the Infernopany squad had, on more than one asion, wanted to curse out loud. The key was theirs to begin with, but someone snatched it, and it was only with great difficulty that they managed to get it back. Once they got it back, the fact that they had it was leaked to the public. They were a small squad and everyone was watching them to see what they were hiding. They had to be careful what came out of their mouths.


    But what could they possibly hide? If they really knew the pathways inside the tomb, would they really hang around so unprepared?


    The crowd believed most of what Cohen said. It was obvious when they thought about it. It was a gods tomb. Finding a key and an external map was already pretty good. To also find an internal map? Wasnt that just too good to be true?


    Generally speaking, exploring a tomb should involve adventure and work. There would be many levels, trials, and tests of fortune. How you fared depended on your ability and luck. If there was an internal map, wouldnt that be too easy? By then, could it even be called it test?


    The more logical members in the crowd were inclined to believe Cohen.


    Of course there were those who didnt believe him as well. What if he was lying? Then they would be losing out on a really good lead. They decided to follow him and pick up whatever advantages they could get.


    Those who believed Cohen didnt have a map stood by the door they wanted to go through. Those who didnt believe continued to stare at him and his team, intent on following whichever door the team chose. It took a long time before someone finally mustered the courage to walk through one of the doors.


    What?! How is this possible? Howd I end up in a desert?! A person eximed after walking through a door. He had been teleported to a desert.


    <b>c139: Inheritance</b>


    Grasnds? To have a dimensional space, truly deserving to be called a gods tomb! A boundless field of grass spread in front.


    Whoa! What is this ce? So cold! Its freezing! It was a white world with snow above and ice below.


    Damn it! Theres too much water! Are we at sea?! It was like an endless ocean.


    Hot! Hot! A freaking volcano? Really?! A volcanic cratery nearby.


    A different worldy behind each door. Which one it led to all depended on luck.


    A majestic voice resounded from the sky after everyone entered. It sounded like it came from the heavens, powerful and imposing.


    It said, Congrattions adventurers. Congrattions on finding this ce. It is my tomb, the god Calven. I dont know how many millennia has passed, but you are the first humans to enter this ce.


    I was an ordinary, weak human ten millennia ago. After working hard and training diligently, I broke through the barrier and ascended to the heavens, bing a self-made god.[notes]


    I thought I would have eternal life after bing a god. I never expected the battle between the gods and demons would erupt. So many of us gods fell here.


    During my lifetime, I, Calven was devoted to practicing the magical arts. I never epted a disciple and did not leave a legacy behind. Before I died, I used my final strength to create this tomb. Whoever can pass my test will be my sessor and inherit my legacy.


    A legacy! A real bonafide legacy!


    I never expected this. I have to try my luck!


    This is useless to a sword user. I wouldnt havee if I knew.


    Stupid. Even if you cant get the legacy as a sword user, you can still loot for treasure! Just a little here and youll be set for a few decades at least!


    True! True! I wasnt thinking.


    Magicians were boiling with passion at God Calvens words. Sword users did not retreat either. Even if they couldnt get the inheritance, they could still get some amazing treasures.


    It seems everyone is ready. The first part of the test will begin. Everyone made their choices from the doors in the hall. Every door represents a miniature world. You will encounter various dangers in these worlds.


    Face these dangers with your weapons and remove the obstacles in your way. Escape the world with your intelligence and wit. The first one hundred to do so will earn a spot on the second floor. Soe adventurers! I await your arrival on the second floor!


    And just like that, ambitious individuals tried to take the lead to pass the first test.


    In the bowels of the tomb, where no one could see, a ck figure widened his blood, red eyes in anticipation. Come! Come! Come to me! I waited so long for this day! Now its finally here! Hahaha!


    None of the adventurers knew there was a monster underground waiting for them. They were blinded by the possible legacy and countless treasure in the tomb. No one thought about whaty in wait for them.


    Feng Wu stared nkly at the sky. She blinked when her eyes began to sting. Find the exit? Feng Wu mumbled to herself. She took a step and moved forward.


    Feng Wu was a courteous and well-behaved child. She made many friends on the grasnds. Whenever she met a beast, she would take the initiative to greet it and offer it a spiritual fruit. The beasts didnt take advantage of her, quickly returning the favor and giving her an even better fruit back in exchange.


    Her path was easy without danger.


    Other adventurers who entered the grasnd werent so fortunate. It was a wide expansive region, home to thousands of beasts, most of which lived in herds and packs, so provoking one meant provoking the entire group.


    The adventurers suffered greatly. In a short period of time the once peaceful grasnds became chaotic, thick with the smell of blood. It was a ughterhouse.


    Drew was only eighteen. He had tried to test into Xingguang Holy Academy earlier, but had failed. He had been practicing the sword at this fathers house since then. His father was an average adventurer  not particrly weak or particrly strong. Drew had followed his father and practiced daily for many years.


    Recently his father had to rely on medicinal potions to stay alive. He had been poisoned by a beast while out on a mission to collect some rare herbs.


    Legend had it, a spiritual fruit that could cure all types of poison grew in the Realm Battlegrounds. The market value was exorbitant though. There was no way Drew could buy it even if he saved for a hundred years.


    This was why he was in the battlegrounds: in order to find the fruit for his father.


    He met several other adventurers when he entered the battlegrounds. They were all about the same age so they hit it off really well, and before long ended up as a team.


    They were only in the battlegrounds for two days when news of the gods tomb reached them. Drew had no interest in the tomb; he knew he wouldnt be able to enter a dangerous ce like that with his strength, but his newfoundpanions wanted to go. They persuaded him that the gods tomb would be the best ce to find the spiritual fruit he was seeking, thus he agreed to enter the tomb with them.


    The door they chose led them to the grasnds. It was so big, they couldnt see the end of it.


    The arrival of a god named Calven made hispanions even more crazy. They wholeheartedly wanted to take the test and get the inheritance. The magicians in the team were especially determined.


    Currently he and hispanions were in a hard fight.


    Damn! Why are there so many wolves?! a handsome, young fire magician gritted his teeth as he shot fireballs at the attacking wolves.


    <b>c140:</b>


    Lee, what should we do? Asia asked as he severed the head of a wolf. He was covered in sweat and blood. His face was full of anxiety as he looked to the strongest one in their group hoping there was a n.


    Lee! Think of something! Katerina yelled. She had lost her usual poise and grace sometime ago, and was now looking worn and bedraggled in her white magic robe.


    The group of six was split evenly with three magicians and three sword masters. They hadnt suffered any casualties yet, but they were exhausted from the continuous fighting.


    Drew! Block! I have a scroll my teacher gave me for just this kind of situation, but we need time to activate it! Lee ordered. He didnt let them down and immediately came up with a n.


    Okay. Drew nodded his head determinedly. He was a beefy guy, honest and straightforward. He fought even more fiercely, trying to gain as much time as he could for them to get the scroll ready.


    He was fighting so hard for the people he thought were hispanions that he didnt notice the pitying looks they shot him. All of them thought he was a fool.


    Leesst resort wasnt an attack scroll but a random teleportation scroll. It was a high caliber scroll, capable of transporting up to ten people at a time, however it required some time to activate, which was why it was important to have someone act as a decoy to attract the wolves.


    Drew was thest to join the team, so he was the natural choice to leave behind. They had let him join because he seemed honest and had good swordsmanship. He would be able to buy them time if things ever got dangerous. They would not have added an unknown person to their team otherwise.


    It was fortunate Lee had the scroll. It was fortunate Drew joined the team. Who else would have agreed to stay behind as a sacrifice?


    A white light enveloped Lees original team of five. Drew, who had been fiercely fighting, thought the scroll was finally ready when he heard the movement. He turned around only to find Lees team smirking gleefully at him before disappearing with the light.


    Drew was nave, but even he realized they had deceived him. The wolves surrounded him and he knew he wouldnt survive.


    His arms and legs were trembling from fatigue but he stood his ground and continued fighting for another ten minutes. He was covered in bloody bite marks and the loss of blood was taking its toll. He inevitably copsed.


    As his consciousness faded he thought he saw a shadow heading his way.


    Feng Wu had walked aimlessly for several hours beforeing upon the sounds of fighting in wolf territory. She wanted to ask if anyone had seen Jier so she had jogged over. Unexpectedly a man copsed just as she reached them. The wolves decided not to kill him after talking to Feng Wu.


    Drew woke up on a rock, his wounds fully bandaged. He struggled into a seated position and saw a beautiful, dark haired girl sitting not too far away. She was staring nkly at the sky, but turned to look at him at the sound of movement. The two of them stared at each other in silence.


    Drew caved first. Unable to handle her disturbingly, expressionless stare he finally asked, Did you save me?


    Have you seen Jier or Ming Xi? she asked.


    Her friends? he wondered. Drew shook his head. No I havent seen them.


    Oh. Feng Wu responded quietly. She took out a spiritual fruit from her space ring[notes] and handed it to Drew.


    Thank you. Drew bit into the fruit. By the way, my name is Drew. Thank you for saving me. He smiled. His body still hurt, but the pain was tolerable. It reminded him everything hed just experienced was real. If not for the pain he would have thought everything, being abandoned by hispanions and nearly eaten by wolves, was a nightmare.


    My name is Feng Wu. You dont have to thank me. Her face was still a frozen, unreadable mask as she spoke.


    Drew was curious. How did she manage to save him from the ws of so many wolves? He wanted to ask but one look at her frozen face made him decide he should build some good will with his benefactor first.


    Drew bit into the fruit some more as he thought about it. The flesh was sweet and melted like butter in his mouth. He felt the wounds on his body tingling soon after swallowing the first bite. Curious, he opened his bandage. Pale, tender, pink flesh greeted him. New skin had actually grown over the wound!


    This this was too amazing! Was she a divine benefactor?! To share such a precious, spiritual fruit so freely!


    While Drew was surprised, he was also touched. Her kindness was all the more meaningful after having experienced hispanions betrayal. He vowed he would repay her somehow.


    Drews injury healed rapidly after eating the fruit. He was fit to travel not too long after.


    On the journey, Feng Wu stopped many times to ask the beasts she encountered how to leave the grasnds.


    Drews former teammates had good luck and managed to teleport to a rtively quiet location. There were a few random beasts, but there were norge herds. They had no doubts Drew died battling the wolves. His death didnt leave in impression on them; he had always been an expendable recruit.


    None of them ever thought he would be so lucky as to meet Feng Wu, a girl with amazing abilities.


    Drew had followed Feng Wu ever since she had rescued him. He didnt seem like a bad person, and she didnt dislike him, so she hadnt chased him away.
