After walking through the corridor, we arrived at the door.
Are you ready?
Wu Xun took a deep breath. "Let's remove my blood first."
Zhang Tongyang handed over the porcelain bottle he was carrying.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Wu Tu suddenly said, "I really shouldn't have said I had a lot of blood last time."
But no one laughed.
"Will there be any danger?" Wu Changming suddenly asked.
"have no idea."
"You guys wait here, I'll go in by myself," Zhang Tongyang said.
"Don't rush to object. None of you know martial arts, so you'll only be a hindrance if you go in. My lightness skill is unmatched, and if all else fails, I still have the ability to escape."
"you……"
"Oh, there's nothing to say. If I can't do it, you guys will have to do it. Alright, I'm going in." Zhang Tongyang grabbed the porcelain bottle and went inside.
Zhang Tongyang couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. These people were looking at him with such worry, as if he were about to die a heroic death.
He was going to do this anyway, and they've already helped him a lot.
He also considered himself to be quite skilled, otherwise His Majesty would not have entrusted him with such an important task.
Zhang Tongyang pushed open the door and went inside.
I spotted that cauldron at a glance, and wow, it truly lives up to its reputation!
Zhang Tongyang gripped the bottle tightly in his hand and cautiously walked forward step by step. He felt a little nervous. The reason was that the cauldron was too eerie, especially the mouth of the cauldron, which seemed to be a huge bottomless pit that would suck people in.
Seeing is believing!
This mission is not easy; Nanjing Forestry University is indeed good at setting traps for people.
Zhang Tongyang took another step forward, but the scene around him suddenly changed.
Huh? What's going on here?
Surrounded by clear blue waters, the area is lush and verdant, with grass growing and birds flying everywhere, resembling a fairyland on earth.
But amidst this expanse of magnolia blossoms and lush trees, there stands an octagonal pavilion.
There was a woman in the pavilion, wearing a long white dress that trailed lightly on the ground. Even just her back view gave people a feeling of unparalleled beauty, as if a fairy had descended to earth and was about to ride the wind back home.
Zhang Tongyang dared not utter a sound, for fear of offending the beauty and ruining this paradise on earth.
But the woman suddenly turned around and smiled. Her smile was so beautiful that even the flowers seemed to shrink back in embarrassment.
Zhang Tongyang said in disbelief, "Brother Wei."
But he couldn't bring himself to call her name. The woman in front of him still had the same face, but the whole person he was talking to felt was different.
Moreover, this person is too beautiful. His brother Wei is not nearly as beautiful as her. She is so gentle and feminine that he finds it difficult to even utter the words "brother Wei".
"Tongyang," the woman said softly, her voice melodious and clear like a nightingale's song.
Zhang Tongyang felt goosebumps rise on his skin; it shouldn't be like this.
But what should it be like?
Why can't he remember?
"Tongyang, come here. Why aren't you coming over? I'm waiting for you here." She said, and then smiled again, looking charming and endearing.
But Zhang Tongyang just couldn't move his legs. His intuition told him that he couldn't go there, or something irreversible would happen.
But what should he do?
"Tongyang, don't you like me? If you come here, I'll agree to be with you, how about that?" The person in the pavilion offered another tempting offer.
For a moment, Zhang Tongyang's heart fluttered, and he subconsciously wanted to take a step forward.
but……
"Zhang Tongyang, Zhang Tongyang."
He thought he heard someone calling him that.
Yes, she always called him by his full name, "Zhang Tongyang," so when did she start calling him "Tongyang" so gently?
His brother Wei was never like that.
Yes, he really liked her. She was the first person he ever liked, the first person to show him what it meant to be moved.
However, she rejected him.
She already has someone she loves.
She doesn't belong to him.
Zhang Tongyang turned to leave.
The person in the pavilion, seeing that he was about to leave, suddenly changed his expression, his face becoming ferocious and terrifying.
She tiptoed and flew towards him.
Zhang Tongyang had nowhere to hide. How could he not understand at this point that he had entered an illusion?
All of this is fake.
The surrounding scenery changed again; this was more like hell than a paradise on earth.
He was surrounded by infernos and cliffs, with nowhere to escape.
The only surprise was that the pavilion was still there, and the stone path leading to it was also perfectly preserved, as if it were waiting for him to pass by.
Should he go over there? Is that pavilion a trap or a way out?
But the woman had already pounced on him, giving him no time to think. He dodged aside, but the woman attacked again.
This can't go on.
How can he get out of here?
Suddenly, they heard, "Zhang Tongyang, Zhang Tongyang."
this……
It doesn't seem like a hallucination; it sounds like Wu Changming and the others' voices.
The sound was faintly coming from directly behind, so...
The direction of the pavilion is the direction of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron!
Seeing that Zhang Tongyang had gone inside and hadn't made a sound for a long time, Wu Changming and the other two went back to the door and looked inside.
But Zhang Tongyang stood still ten steps away from the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, his hands and feet moving as if he were possessed.
Seeing this, the three dared not enter without permission, and kept calling out to him at the door, hoping to wake him up.
But Zhang Tongyang hesitated again after confirming that the pavilion might be the Devouring Cauldron. What if he had miscalculated...
Or perhaps the voice just now was merely an illusion, used to deceive him...
What should he choose?
After all, no one can be sure what will happen once he gets close to the pavilion.
Zhang Tongyang kept thinking as he faced the woman's attacks.
That's it, this can't go on, he'll be trapped here to die anyway.
He took the gamble, but it was the biggest bet he had ever made. If he lost, he would lose his life!
Zhang Tongyang darted towards the pavilion, and seeing this, the woman stopped chasing him.
Zhang Tongyang felt a chill run down his spine; it felt more like a trap.
Otherwise, why didn't she pursue him?
Shouldn't we be doing everything we can to stop him?
But having made his decision, Zhang Tongyang no longer hesitated. He stayed outside the pavilion and didn't go in at all.
He wasn't that stupid; he went straight in and left himself an out.
Zhang Tongyang took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, pulled out the stopper, and threw it directly into the pavilion.
The woman behind her was shocked, but they were too far away to stop it.
Blood splattered in the pavilion, adding a touch of crimson to the space, yet it seemed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding scenery, no longer appearing out of place.
The spot where the blood was splattered immediately emitted wisps of blue smoke, as if it had been corroded.
The woman behind him was also convulsing and screaming, as if she was in great pain.
Zhang Tongyang, however, was unwilling to watch her do all this while using Brother Wei's name as a front.
The scene vanished in an instant.
Zhang Tongyang's mind went blank for a moment, and he was back in the secret room.
