Chapter 870 The Curved Space

Xia Shengtang and Yue Xincheng walk into the depths of the cave slowly.

Even Xia Shengtang has to act cautiously, let alone Yue Xincheng.

It can’t be a bad thing to be cautious. Besides, they don’t need to rush at the moment.

As for Jin Hao, he and his people have come inside. If they really have found the swordsman’s legacy, they must have long got it and left.

After all, Xia Shengtang and Yue Xincheng have got here. Why do they have to rush and put themselves in danger?

“Shengtang, follow me,” says Yue Xincheng.

Xia Shengtang is slightly dazed. He looks at Yue Xincheng in confusion.

“Ahem. I know the mechanical trap here,” Yue Xincheng says, “The formula includes two parts. Upon meeting water…”

“No need to tell me. I’ll follow you,” Xia Shengtang says with a smile.

Yue Xincheng is somewhat confused but since Xia Shengtang is insistent, he doesn’t say anything further.

Having walked forward for more than ten minutes, Yue Xincheng finds in astonishment that there should be a puddle nearby. It is dark here but they still can see clearly the environment as if wearing the night-vision instrument.

“Upon meeting the water, retreat; upon meeting the wind, turn around,” Yue Xincheng murmurs inwardly.

When he saw the map, he glimpsed this formula marked under the map.

Because Xia Shengtang doesn’t let Yue Xincheng tell him, Yue Xincheng can only murmur inwardly.

“Shengtang, we need to go back,” Yue Xincheng says in a strange facial expression.

When he said that, he is also in perplexity.

That is what the formula means but it is really inexplicable.

They finally make it here. Supposedly, if they turn around and go back now, they will return to square one.

Is this the so-called Home Temptation?

The one who left the formula is so bizarre.

Xia Shengtang only knits his eyebrows. The next second, his eyebrows are flattened. Meanwhile, he looks as if taking a tumble and says, “Oh, I see.”

“Oh? Shengtang, do you know the reason?” Yue Xincheng asks.

“Let’s go forward first,” Xia Shengtang says.

Yue Xincheng nods.

He turns around and walks for a distance. Then, he is stupefied.

“Umm?”

A light column suddenly drops. A sea change also happens to the surrounding scenery. They were originally in the cave but now, Yue Xincheng finds in shock that they are on a grassland. By estimate, it should be dark now but they are bathed in the sunlight.

“Do you understand now?” Xia Shengtang asks.

Yue Xincheng still shakes his head in confusion.

Xia Shengtang is somewhat speechless, “You are still not as clever as Gao Ge!”

Yue Xincheng doesn’t mind Xia Shengtang’s sarcasm at all. Instead, he says with confidence, “After all, my boss is so smart. Why do I need to have a brain?”

Xia Shengtang is dumbstruck.

Yue Xincheng has got a good point. Xia Shengtang really has no idea what to say.

“Actually, we are currently in a curved space,” Xia Shengtang says, “Now you understand?”

“Honestly speaking, Shengtang, I still don’t understand but…”

“But what?”

“I don’t want to understand,” Yue Xincheng says in a composed tone.

Xia Shengtang is speechless.

He shakes his head and instantly doesn’t feel like chatting with Yue Xincheng.

Yue Xincheng has been blacklisted by Xia Shengtang. Clearly, Yue Xincheng knows nothing. Worse still, he has no curiosity or desire to advance at all. More resentfully, he doesn’t give Xia Shengtang a chance to show off his knowledge…

However, anyway, Xia Shengtang also becomes more vigilant.

The man who can leave such a space must be unimaginably capable.

Moreover, this space has remained for such a long time.

“Erk?” Yue Xincheng suddenly stops and squats down.

“A water bottle?” Yue Xincheng’s face becomes somewhat strange.

“What’s to be surprised at?” Xia Shengtang says calmly, “Think about this. Since Jin Hao and his men are here and we don’t see them in the cave, they must have got here too. Evidently, Jin Hao knows something about formations and space. Or, he has a master who is proficient at that…”

“How can these wretches throw about litter? Even the golden monkey knows that it mustn’t throw about cigarette butts. How can they not know it? Such a grassland is polluted like this. Are they humans?” Yue Xincheng seems so furious.

Xia Shengtang pats the back of Yue Xincheng’s head in anger.

He is so mad.

What he has said is all in vain!

What is Yue Xincheng’s problem?

Is it time to care about those people’s littering now?

“Ahem. Shengtang, why did you hit me?”

“For fun,” Xia Shengtang says in a deep voice.

Yue Xincheng grins, “Fair enough. I decide to forgive you then.”

Xia Shengtang laughs out of anger about Yue Xincheng.

“Enough. Stop dragging your feet. Let’s hurry. If they really get the legacy first, won’t you feel sad?”

Yue Xincheng hastens to nod.

He has planned to give up before but now that he has got here, if he still lets the opportunity slip through his fingers, he may not be able to sleep for several days after he goes back.

As he looks around, there are no trees. Of course, nothing blocks their visions.

“I can’t see the end. When will we walk to the end?” Yue Xincheng says with a sigh.

Xia Shengtang doesn’t speak. He seems to be sensing something.

Suddenly, he frowns.

“Something is wrong.”

“What?”

“Don’t you find this place is very strange?”

Yue Xincheng rolls his eyes and doesn’t know how to answer the question.

They were in a cave. Then, they came to this place all of a sudden. How can it not be strange?

“There is no wind in this place,” Xia Shengtang says after heaving a sigh.

Yue Xincheng suddenly takes a tumble.

If Xia Shengtang didn’t point it out, he couldn’t notice it at all.

Does the air here not flow?

“Let’s go.” Xia Shengtang heaves a sigh, “I hope that I’ve thought too much.”

Yue Xincheng nods.

As soon as they walk forward for several steps, Xia Shengtang suddenly grabs Yue Xincheng’s arm.

Yue Xincheng is about to speak when he suddenly frowns and turns to look behind. He has felt a blast of energy fluctuation.

Suddenly, a rare beast appears from nowhere with a fierce look.

Without thinking, Xia Shengtang immediately strikes a streak of aura. Astonishingly, the aura directly goes through the rare beast.

“What?” Xia Shengtang is a bit surprised. He turns to look at Yue Xincheng, “You give it a try.”
