Wang Xiaohai took out the gray sword and swung it forward lightly. The sword light swept across, and a straight passage appeared in front of him, about a thousand miles long.
"You...are you still an Awakened with this much power?" Avril and Chris were shocked. "Only a sub-god demon can have this level of power, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. We need to quickly pass through this maze area while the wandering monsters are frightened by this power and before they can react." Wang Xiaohai reminded and rushed forward first.
Avril and Chris hurriedly followed Wang Xiaohai.
It was very strange that the two of them ran all the way behind Wang Xiaohai, and not a single wandering monster came to disturb them.
In just a few minutes, the three of them had covered a distance of a thousand miles, and this was while being cautious and slowing down.
"Finally, I'm out of this haunted maze!" Avril looked back at the passage shoveled by the sword light, sighing.
"There is only one place left, an area of super thick fog." Wang Xiaohai pointed to an area in the distance that was as thick as a white wall. The smoke at the entrance of the formation was probably emitted from here.
"That sword strike of yours has already surpassed the level of the Awakening Realm." Ivy was deeply impressed by the power of Wang Xiaohai's sword strike and wanted to ask for clarification whenever she had the chance. "My Awakening skills are not as powerful as your casual sword strike."
"That's because I'm a genius with nine full bars!" Wang Xiaohai laughed. "Isn't it normal for me to surpass you six-bar idiots?"
"you……"
Ai Wei'er had nothing to say.
"It seems like the corner of a treasure is exposed on the ground in the foggy area." Chris shouted, pointing to the ground in front.
"But that's a dense fog area. I don't know what kind of danger it might be. It looks like visibility inside is less than ten centimeters." Avril said, "Chris, do you have any information about this dense fog area?"
"Yes, but not many," Chris said. "The information I received said that no demon has ever been able to come out after entering the foggy area."
"There aren't any?" Avril was surprised. "That means there's no return. Why did you insist on asking me to go on this adventure? Didn't you say the Face-Eating Demon left behind many magic crystals?"
"There are magic crystals," Chris said. "Ancient texts record that the Face-Eating Demon loves to eat the faces of other demons. He often preys on demons weaker than him, and even demons of his own realm can't defeat him. That's why his residence contains many magic crystals, and of course, the one I want most: the face left behind by the Face-Eating Demon."
"Didn't the Face-Eating Demon eat the faces of all the other demons?" Avril asked. "How could he possibly leave them for you?"
"No matter how much the noodle-eating monster eats, there will always be some noodles left." Chris's expression showed no emotion.
"You mean..." Avril said in surprise.
"Yes, it's his own face." Chris's tone was full of urgency. This was exactly her purpose this time, and it was what she wanted most.
"The face of the Face-Eating Demon, it sounds so scary, what's the use?" Avril's hand holding the bronze sword was sweating, she was a little scared when she heard the name, after all, this was the cemetery of the Face-Eating Demon, against the backdrop of the surrounding atmosphere, a chill went up her spine, she was always worried that talking about the Face-Eating Demon in the cemetery of the Face-Eating Demon would cause something terrible to happen.
"Every time the Noodle-Eating Demon eats a demon, he transforms into that demon's face. He's eaten countless demons in his lifetime, so his face can change into a thousand different forms. It's a rare treasure," said Chris. "I don't want any magic crystals or anything like that. I just want that face. With it, I can become the most beautiful witch in the world. No demon will ever dislike me or reject me because I'm ugly, or even be confused about my gender!"
"Is this why you let me in?" Avril finally understood why this military advisor, Chris, had been urging her to take risks. In some ways, she was using her and the Clover Adventure Group. "There's no way you can enter this foggy area!"
"Oh, I brought a space transporter. I can slowly move this thick fog away piece by piece, opening a passage to the Noodle-Eating Demon's residence in the center of the cemetery." Chris said, pulling out a cone-shaped magic device from his tattered robe. "This is a magic device from the Space Storage Company. It can move pieces of space into prepared items."
"How long will this last?" Avril asked.
"It depends on how big the foggy area is. If you're lucky, you can move out of the channel in a year or two. If you're unlucky, it may take hundreds of years," said Chris.
"Will we miss next week's auction?" Avril said, "If it takes a hundred years, I can't wait here. The array-breaking device will lose its effectiveness in three days." She now felt that she had been completely used by Chris, and everyone in the adventure team had been used. Chris was indeed a military strategist, with a smart mind, and he had played her around.
"It doesn't matter if the array-breaking device fails. There must be an array switch in the Face-Eating Demon's residence. We can just turn it off when the time comes." Chris was not worried about this. If she could obtain the face of the Face-Eating Demon, she would be willing to spend hundreds of years to slowly remove the thick fog. The hope of becoming beautiful was the motivation that supported her to persevere.
Wang Xiaohai and Avril were watching coldly from the side - Chris was constantly using the space transporter to move the thick fog away, but this space transporter could only move ten cubic meters of space at a time and was the cheapest and smallest one.
"Aren't you going to help?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Why don't you go?" Avril asked. "There are quite a few treasures at the edge of the fog. They were probably left behind by demons who tried to enter in the past."
"I don't like those junk metals," said Wang Xiaohai.
"Then why did you come to the cemetery to hunt for treasure?" Avril was incredulous. "You don't value treasures, yet you come here to hunt for them. Isn't that a contradiction?"
"I like the process of treasure hunting, not the treasure itself," Wang Xiaohai said. "Can't we just get the marriage certificate and have a wedding ceremony without any process in a relationship?"
"I understand. You just want to be in love, not have any future relationships!" Avril asked. "You're so mean. I can't let you fool me!"
"It's not that I don't want a result, it's just that I can't do it now because my journey is not over yet and I have to keep going." Wang Xiaohai said something that Avril found a bit profound and difficult to understand.
"You go help Chris move the things, maybe it'll go faster," Avril said. "Don't you want to experience the whole process?"
"I just want to experience a happy process, not a stupid one," Wang Xiaohai said. "Helping her is stupid. She has been using us all the time. And even though I saved her, she still hates me. So I don't want to help her anymore, because she won't thank me even if I help her!"
"I think the same as you."
Avril looked into the distance - the other members of the Sanye Adventure Group were also running towards them from the straight path created by Wang Xiaohai's sword.
"Only four members left..."
Avril felt a little lost and sad.
