Chapter 70: The Mysterious Team!

None of the Awakened Ones realized that there was a team hiding in the forest.

After Zi Yue returned to her team, a man wearing a fox mask, who was standing next to her, asked in a teasing tone, “Zi Yue, did you catch feelings for him?”

“I just wanted to thank him.”

There was an impassive and icy expression on Zi Yue’s face. She spoke to him in a cold tone and exuded a sense of distance.

She had suddenly transformed from the lively girl-next-door into an ice princess in a split second.

“Do you want me to help you kidnap him and bring him back to the organization so that you can marry him?”

Another team member asked her jokingly.

“Nobody will assume that you’re mute if you don’t speak.” Zi Yue shot him a cold glance.

A few daggers that shone under the cold light quietly floated in the air beside her petite body.

“Okay, I’ll shut up now.”

The team member immediately shut his mouth after seeing the sharp daggers.

This was a strange-looking team. It consisted of two men and two women.

The man in the fox mask stood in front. He was followed by Zi Yue and a young man with six swords hanging from his body.

A girl with short hair stood at the back of the group. She carried a large box on her back. She remained silent all along.

After a few seconds of silence, the man in the fox mask could not help but speak up.

“Zi Yue, as the captain, I still have to give you some reminders…”

“Chen Feng is still a member of the [Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets]. You need to control your emotions. Don’t catch feelings for him.”

“Relationships are like a storm. you’re still way too young, and it’s hard for you to control yourself… But speaking of which, Chen Feng looks quite handsome… He’s quite compatible with you…”

As he spoke, the fox-masked man suddenly felt a chilly sensation near his throat.

It was Zi Yue’s flying dagger.

It floated silently next to his throat. If it moved an inch closer, it would pierce through his windpipe, and he would never be able to speak again.

“Shut up, or I’ll cut your tongue out!” Zi Yue said coldly.

With that said, the dagger flew back into her hand with a loud whoosh. Zi Yue hung the dagger on her belt and walked ahead without looking back.

“Hey…I’m still your captain. Can you guys show me some basic respect?”

The fox-masked man grumbled angrily.

He then turned around to look at the short-haired girl standing at the back of the group. He asked her a question in a hopeful tone. A

“Evelyn, you should understand my circumstances, right?”

The short-haired girl shook her head expressionlessly and said, “No.”

After that, Evelyn carried the big box and walked forward. She caught up with Zi Yue.

“Xiao Fan, you’re a man too. Surely you can understand me!”

The fox-masked man was still unwilling to accept what they said. He placed all of his hopes on the last member of the team.

Xiao Fan was the name of the youngster with six swords hanging on his body. He said in an exasperated tone, “Captain, you should learn from me.”

“What should I learn from you?”

“I shut up when Zi Yue told me to. If you keep blabbering like that in front of Zi Yue all day, your life will be in danger!”

…

An hour had passed since they entered the bronze door.

Everyone heard a familiar voice.

“Remaining life: 36 hours.”

Upon hearing this mechanical voice, Chen Feng once again recalled the legend that Sakurai Longzi had mentioned.

If the countdown ended, would he really rot and die like the fisherman in the legend?

Or…his body might begin to rot before the countdown ended, and he would end his life in pain.

Regardless of the situation, everything was undoubtedly hopeless.

“It looks like I need to find a way to cure the poison.”

Chen Feng sighed. He still had no idea how to neutralize the poison in the white fog.

However, the only thing that made Chen Feng feel at ease was the fact that he had heard of someone returning alive from Gaotian Plains in his previous life since he was someone that had been reborn.

The group of Awakened Ones who had entered the mystic realm of Gaotian Plains had not been completely wiped out.

This meant that there was definitely a way to detoxify the poison in the mystic realm of Gaotian Plains.

Everyone heard different system notifications.

Those with shorter lifespans were already in a state of extreme panic.

The thin man who had 27 hours left only had 26 hours left now.

That was approximately a day’s time.

“Why is there a difference in everyone’s remaining time?” Chen Feng frowned as he pondered upon it.

Everyone had spent around the same amount of time passing through the fog, so they all should have breathed in the same amount of the fog.

“Pu Yunmo, lend me your [Exploration Magic Mirror].”

Pu Yunmo immediately took out a pair of glasses, which were surrounded by a purple glow, from his backpack and handed it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng put on the pair of glasses. When he looked at everyone else, a long string of messages would appear above their heads.

The message consisted of their respective levels and awakened talents.

Chen Feng’s first target was the thin man that could only live for 26 more hours.

Level 21 [Assassin]

“Is he only at Level 21?” Chen Feng mumbled in surprise.

Generally speaking, an Awakened One who had the courage to enter the [ Mystic Realm of Gaotian Plains] were at least at Level 25.

Chen Feng soon went through all the basic information about the Awakened Ones.

“Indeed…”

After looking through all the information, Chen Feng’s previous guesses were confirmed.

One’s remaining life was indeed related to two factors.

One was the level of an Awakened One, while the other was one’s “Constitution” attribute.

The higher one’s level, the higher their “Constitution” attribute point would be, and the more time one had to live.

For example, Pu Yunmo, who was already at Level 35, had 42 hours left.

The Awakened One with 47 hours left was a Level 32 Berserker.

“However, what’s the use of knowing this?”

A bitter smile formed on Chen Feng’s face.

He now knew the pattern in which everyone’s remaining life worked, but he still could not find a way to cure the poison.

“It looks like we can have no choice but to continue walking deeper into Gaotian Plains. There will…eventually be a way.”
