"My name is Li Shi Ying, and this one is Long Ao Zhen from Dong Xi Academy. Nice to meet you." Seeing that Duan Hui Nan and Gu Zhong came, Li Shi Ying immediately introduced herself, wanting to quickly go to the valley and not waste time with Duan Hui Nan here.
She just hated this girl to the bone!
"My name is Gu Zhong, I'm from Tian Ming academy and this is Duan Hui Nan from Liang Xin Academy." Gu Zhong was quite stunned at seeing in their new team there were two people from the same academy.
Didn't everyone from the same academy become separated from each other? How come these two got together?
"I'm a princess from white tiger country, so call me 'your highness' else I won't respond." Duan Hui Nan raised her chin high when she met Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen.
Alright, she indeed was interested in the man she just met but the girl next to him…somehow she felt extremely irritated just by seeing her face.
"Alright your highness, let's go now." Li Shi Ying smirked, seeing Duan Hui Nan hadn't changed her attitude at all. Still could get all high and mighty even after she lost her cultivation.
"May I ask how we will survive in the poisonous valley?" Unlike Duan Hui Nan, Gu Zhong was more cautious. He saw that these three people seemed close, so what if they were invited to be human bait or a meat shield?
"Just follow me, you won't die." Li Shi Ying was too lazy to explain to these two as she walked fast heading to the valley again.
Valley.
"We got 5 people, now can we go in?" Li Shi Ying talked to the guard, who was still guarding the entrance of the valley with a stern face.
"You can go in." The guard only answered shortly, making Li Shi Ying have the urge to slap the man or kick him to the valley below.
This irritated her!
"Let's go." Long Ao Zhen carried Li Shi Ying in his arms again as he walked past the guard, but just as he walked by, the guard suddenly muttered something that only he and the guard could hear.
"You're not allowed to help anyone in this mission, else anyone you help will automatically fail the tournament. This is an order from above." The guard whispered to Long Ao Zhen and after that, he kept standing on his position, waiting for other participants that might come to the valley.
!! What?
SWOOSH!
"Huh?" Li Shi Ying was shocked when Long Ao Zhen suddenly stopped right before they went down the valley. He suddenly stopped and put her down to the ground without telling her what was going on, making the three people behind them stop.
"Ying'er, I got an order from the guard that I can't help you at all, or else you will fail the tournament." Long Ao Zhen gritted his teeth as he whispered to Li Shi Ying, telling her that he wouldn't be of use now.
He wasn't allowed to do anything later in the valley! If he moved, his bunny would fail and somehow he had a feeling that the tournament staff could monitor their every movement to be able to order him like this.
This order must have come from the head of the tournament staff! Did someone know his identity? If that's so…it's logical how he was forbidden to help anyone.
"I get it." Li Shi Ying was indeed shocked, but upon thinking further, she understood that somehow Long Ao Zhen's identity was exposed, and thus to make it fair, the tournament staff made this rule for him.
Well it doesn't matter, but she just lost one trump card from her pocket! From here on…she would have to use her own abilities. No problem!
"I'll go down first." Long Ao Zhen did couldn't help Li Shi Ying, but he could just go down first and tell the others what dangers waited for them there.
"Be careful." Li Shi Ying nodded, knowing that it was more effective. Anyway, not many poisons in lower realm could affect Long Ao Zhen, who was a dragon.
SWOOSH!
Long Ao Zhen immediately jumped off of the cliff down to the dark valley below them, with no hesitation and in no time, he vanished behind the thick fog surrounding the valley.
"Should we wait?" Shu Chen gulped his saliva nervously as he saw how easy Long Ao Zhen jumped down, when in fact it was so scary. They didn't know how deep the valley was, nor what was inside the valley, so jumping like that… was reckless!
But somehow, even though he didn't know this man well, he had a feeling that this senior would be alright. He seemed strong, after all.
"Wait." Li Shi Ying told Shu Chen and the others to wait as she talked with Jiu Wei through telepathy asking if Long Ao Zhen had called him.
"Yes mistress, his highness just called me saying that you must be very careful since the valley is deep and the thick fog is poisonous. Inside the valley, there were so many divine beast nests hanging on the valley wall. Not to mention at the bottom of the valley, there were so many weird beasts roaming around in the dark."
