YM778.TV 204 Chapter 204
The two passages didn\'t seem different at all, they were both dark tunnels that were lit by torches on the wall, leading right into the darkness.
While Lord Yin had been talking, Lin Fan had actually had Brainy release the ants to scout out the passages with their chemosenses.
The result that the ants gave Brainy was that the passage on the left didn\'t have any scents coming from it at all, but there was a strong scent of blood that came from the right passage. It wasn\'t just a faint trace of blood, it was so strong that it almost seemed like there was a pool of blood inside this tunnel.
Just based on this, it was clear which path was the safer path, but what Lord Yin said afterwards changed everything.
Lord Yin\'s voice rang out, "The path on the left is the shorter and safer path, but it is a path that only three of you can enter. The two that are left behind will be disqualified and they will be swarmed by beasts that will be chasing from behind. As for the path on the left, it is much longer and more dangerous, but everyone will be allowed to enter that path."
After stopping for a second, Lord Yin\'s voice continued, "There is also a time limit for this round. If you can\'t make it to the end within twelve hours, there will be a beast wave that will be released onto your group. At that time, the exit will be sealed and the only way to reopen them will be to destroy the entire beast wave."
This scenario was clearly a game over scenario in their minds. A beast wave that was prepared by a Legendary Realm Expert of the Beast Clan, it definitely wasn\'t something that they could deal with.
Or rather, perhaps it was a kind of test for Lin Fan.
They were perhaps hoping that he would either show his real side by either abandoning the others or maybe he would show his real power by fighting against the beast wave. No matter what the scenario was, no one ever believed that they would be able to finish the right path within the twelve hour time limit since there were also quite a few devious traps on that path.
Finally, Lord Yin\'s voice just suddenly cut off after he finished explaining the trial.
When the voice disappeared, everyone turned to look at Lin Fan.
To be honest, they were tempted to just run into the left passage since there was nothing more important than their own lives, but they knew that they would never get a chance.
Not to mention the fact that they wouldn\'t be able to escape from Lin Fan, they could feel a dangerous feeling coming from Angela, as if she could read their minds.
In truth, Angela as the Spirit Overlord had eyes that were sensitive to emotions, being able to see them in different colours around a person. At this moment, she could clearly see the doubt that was coming from them, so naturally she knew what they were thinking.
But in the end, it didn\'t matter since they knew the left passage was impossible.
If they were to take the left passage, there would only be one spot left for them since there was no way Angela and Lin Fan would sacrifice themselves for them.
This was unacceptable for the twins since neither of them would go unless the other was going. This wasn\'t just because they were twins, there was also a different reason, namely the forbidden relationship between them…
As for the short haired girl, she knew that Lin Fan would never side with her over the twins. Especially since she had that incident with him before they came into the planar crack and Yue Jin had been supporting Lin Fan the entire time.
All of them had just accepted that they would be entering the right passage, but they didn\'t go in right away.
Lin Fan on the other hand had been sending his scouts into both the passages while searching the room they were currently in. He had tried to send his smaller scouts into the mechanisms that controlled the doors, but he was unable to since everything was covered in a layer of spatial laws just like the walls of this room.
The scouts that he sent into the passages didn\'t have time to get far, it seemed quite a long trip for them and they didn\'t seem to find anything. The only strange thing was that passage was slanted down, which meant that they were climbing deeper into the pyramid.
That didn\'t make sense since they had just climbed stairs up to reach this floor, but now they were being brought down again. Could it be that these passages led to different parts of the labyrinth and the labyrinth they were in previously was just a small portion of the first floor?
If that were the case, just how big was this pyramid and how did the Beast Clan bring it with them?
Moreover, with how big this pyramid was, how was it that they missed it the entire time?
When they saw the pyramid back in the forest, it hadn\'t seemed that big…
Another discovery that Lin Fan made was that these two tunnels were actually connected to each other.
If he really wanted to, he could enter one and break the wall into the other…
But that wasn\'t something he wanted to do now. He wanted to hide his strength still since he didn\'t know what cards the other side had and if he revealed them earlier, it would put him at a disadvantage.
Right now it was best for him to play along until he had a chance to make his move.
Finally, after nine minutes of just standing there and waiting for Lin Fan to finish, as their time limit approached, the three young geniuses couldn\'t take it anymore.
Yue Jin as their leader asked, "Brother Lin, isn\'t it time that we chose a passage?"
These words were completely useless since they all knew which passage they would be choosing and Lin Fan\'s words that came after weren\'t a surprise at all.
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Alright, let\'s head into the right passage now."
Everyone looked at each other with a bitter smile. In their hearts, there was a slight hope that Lin Fan would somehow find a way for them to take the left passage or that he would sacrifice himself like he had done before, but that hope was dashed by his words.
They all came behind him and followed him as he led the way into the right passage.
Since they weren\'t able to take the safe left passage, the least they could do was hide behind Lin Fan and let him take the lead.
Lin Fan obviously knew what they were thinking, but he didn\'t care at all, rather he was looking forward to seeing what kind of things were waiting for him in this passage.
In the first round, he had actually received quite a few interesting things. For each of the games that he played, he had found some interesting beast with unique powers. So once he finished those games, he clearly didn\'t let those beasts off and inserted a seed into each of these beasts.
If he could find some more special beasts here, it really would be a good harvest. He was slowly building up his forces.
…
In the throne room, Lord Jin and Lord Yin had been waiting patiently, waiting for them to make a choice.
They both thought that Lin Fan would abandon the rest and go into the left passage since they knew that that was the safest choice, but they also weren\'t surprised to see Lin Fan enter the right passage.
With the loyalty to humanity that he had shown, it was also reasonable that he wouldn\'t abandon them since he was probably also confident in his strength. As a genius that came from an upper realm, a genius that could control three different laws, he naturally was confident in himself. It was just as normal for him to take the right passage.
Lord Jin looked at the image and he couldn\'t help knitting his brows slightly before asking, "Yin, what is the final stage for the right passage?"
Lord Yin was confused when he heard Lord Jin asking this, but he still answered, "It\'s that mirror, I told you this when we were designing this yesterday."
Lord Jin\'s brows didn\'t unfurrow as he just stared into the mirror in thought.
When Lord Yin saw this, he couldn\'t help knitting his brows as he said, "Jin, it can\'t be that you\'re thinking..."
Lord Jin still didn\'t say a thing.
Lord Yin then said, "Jin, they are enemies, you shouldn\'t be thinking like this. We need to take care of them for the Beast Clan\'s plan, we don\'t have time for your willfulness."
Finally Lord Jin gave a sigh as his brows relaxed and he said, "I know, I know, but I really want to meet them at least once. You\'ve met them before, you should know how special they are."
Lord Yin thought of when he had first met Lin Fan and Angela and he couldn\'t help admitting that Lord Jin was right.
He was indeed curious about the two of them, but now was not the time. They were here on a mission for the Beast Clan, so they should be doing what they could to fulfill that mission.
Lord Jin saw that Lord Yin didn\'t respond, but he didn\'t say a thing either.
He just gave a sigh and hoped that things would work out.
This was his willfulness, but this was also the first time he was looking forward to something like this...
