Exit
“Sixty-fifth floor now? Oh, come on. When are we ever going to reach the eighty-first floor at this rate,” lamented Xiaoshuai.
“I can’t find any motivation to explore this loooong corridor, either,” expressed Mu Yu. “Let’s head back and pray we land on the eighty-first floor.”
“I thought it’s supposed to be random. Why did we end up back on the twenty-fourth floor when we had back through the entrance?” inquired the dragon vine, seeing the palace they just left before.
Mu Yu waited for an hour in the palace before walking through the exit again, hoping a delay would change the result. Alas, he was taken to the seventy-fifth floor, an empty, thankfully normal floor.
“I think I’ve figured out the system. Remember how we waited in the palace for an hour and then ended up here? I reckon the exits will lead us to a different floor depending on when we leave it. We spent approximately two hours on the floor we encountered Long Xingyun. Then, we spent roughly four hours in the prison. Then, we just spent over an hour in total in the palace… Whether there are one or two entrances are also integral to the system.”
Mu Yu waltzed through the exit after a fifteen minute way, landing on the eleventh floor. He spent the next two hours experimenting to figure out what timing led to where.
“It’s taken hours, but I have a grasp of the pagoda’s system now.”
Facing a tree hole, Mu Yu watched the birds soaring above the vibrant forest formation as he bided his time, waiting for the right moment to jump back into the tree hole.
“In theory, twenty-two hours and forty-five minutes later, the teleportation formation on the third floor will connect to the eighty-first floor. Waiting for twenty-two hours is ridiculously long, so we’ll opt for another path. In two hours and fifteen minutes later, this floor will connect to the seventy-third floor. We’ll wait for another hour on the seventy-third floor to travel to the sixteenth floor. We will need to be quick and immediately exit the sixteenth floor as soon as we land because it’ll be connected to the eighty-first floor the moment we land,” explained Mu Yu.
Mu Yu’s deduction proved correct when they travelled to the seventy-third floor, a small hut located at the foot of a mountain, as he predicted.
“So now we’re in a snowy land. I don’t feel safe with a snowy mountain behind this hut. Avalanches anyone?” commented Xiaoshuai.
“We’ve been to so many places already that I’m inclined to think we’re on vacation,” opined the dragon vine.
“Well, we’ve already been to plenty of places in the real world, so this shouldn’t be anything impressive,” responded Mu Yu, sitting on the roof. “Is it just me or are there more snowflakes rising from the mountain. I sense spiritual qi being used in a fight.”
“We going to go watch?” questioned Xiaoshuai, grumpily trying to heat his frozen drumstick with a pill flame stone.
“Watch what? We have to move soon. The fiends and Ghost Gate’s group are the only ones who’d fight here. Let them fight for all I care,” grouched Mu Yu.
Before long, a Body Synthesis Realm attack on the mountain triggered an avalanche on the snow mountain as they sliced the mountain off.
“What happened to caring for the environment?! You trying to kill yourself!” Mu Yu cursed, grabbing Xiaoshuai and rising into the sky moments before the snow buried the hut. “If I find out who the hell that was, I’ll make your face look like your butt!”
Mu Yu discharged soul energy to clear the snow. Sadly, even though the snow was cleared, the hut was just rubble. He couldn’t repair it since it wasn’t actual wood, either. Eyes on the broken door, Mu Yu blustered, “No, serious? The entrance is broken? The door is just an illusion, isn’t it?! I can’t sense the entrance, damn it! I’m going to go see who triggered the damn avalanche!”
Sensing a visitor coming up, Gui Han turned to Mu Yu and brayed, “You!”
Lu Xiong and the dragon tortoise, on the other hand, were relieved to meet Mu Yu.
“Who was the damn jerk who caused the avalanche? Did the mountain do something to you?” Mu Yu brayed.
“You’re lucky you aren’t buried beneath the snow,” ridiculed Gui Han.
“Did you have to fight here of all places? Thanks to the avalanche, the exit is now sealed. Now we’re all stuck here, dimwit!”
“The exit is sealed? We came out from a small hut. Shouldn’t the exit be somewhere else?” inquired Lu Xiong, surprised. Clearly, none of them realised the entrance was the exit.
“Stop giving me grief. Elder Lu, I’m as busy as can be, so I’ll be taking my leave now. Take care.”
Gui Han wasn’t going to pursue Mu Yu after Gui Ximing had trouble dealing with him. Hence, he turned back to Lu Xiong and demanded, “Fiends, hand over Thousand Inch Ocean Ruler!”
Mu Yu did a u-turn upon hearing Gui Han’s demand. “You have Fiend King Yujiang’s magical item?”
