Chapter 245 Slapping the Liar in the Face 8
Xu Zhenghao sighed upon hearing this.
“Ever since you disappeared in the forest, High Priest Barnett has been like a completely different person.” Xu Zhenghao trembled as if he had just remembered something.
"He ordered his soldiers to search the forest extensively for your whereabouts, digging almost the entire forest three feet deep, but still could not find you, so he sent a troop of soldiers out of the capital."
"His gaze towards us was always ambiguous before, but now that I think about it, wasn't that naked murderous intent?"
Xu Zhenghao swallowed hard. "After you disappeared, he wouldn't allow us to go back to that forest. Instead, he took us to the mountains outside the city and made us kill monsters there."
"The monsters there are terrifying beyond belief, they're on a completely different level from the monsters in the forest before! Several heroes have died in just a few days!"
"After the high priest learned of this, he sent us back to the same forest, and then I was teleported here."
After Xu Zhenghao finished speaking, he fell silent.
Leng Yuexing said thoughtfully, "Don't you think the magical beasts in the forest are very similar to the magical beasts that the human soldiers here have transformed into?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenghao frowned and thought carefully. After a moment, he shook his head. "I don't see any resemblance. I can't tell the difference at all."
Leng Yuexing nodded. Since they all looked like magical beasts, it was normal that Xu Zhenghao didn't notice anything unusual.
"So what are you going to do next?" Leng Yuexing asked.
Xu Zhenghao shook his head. Having learned such a huge secret, he didn't know what to do. However, he wanted to return to his original world and didn't want to stay in this one.
"I want to go back to the world I used to live in!" Xu Zhenghao said firmly.
"To return to our original world, we must kill the Demon King. That's what Barnett told us, but who knows if he's lying to us?" Leng Yuexing frowned in thought.
“I’m not lying to you,” Adonis’s deep voice rang out.
Xu Zhenghao turned his head and caught sight of Adonis stepping in through the door. Startled, he fell off his chair.
"Who...who is he?" Xu Zhenghao felt his heart was about to give way; the aura of the person in front of him was simply too terrifying.
Leng Yuexing stood up and helped Xu Zhenghao up. "Don't be afraid, he is the King Adonis of the Kingdom of Mousse that I told you about."
"Your Majesty?" Xu Zhenghao murmured.
Adonis nodded, restraining his imposing manner.
Xu Zhenghao chuckled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, His Majesty the King is so majestic, I was a little scared. My apologies."
“It’s alright,” Adonis replied.
Leng Yuexing pulled Adonis by the hand and made him sit down at the table, then asked, "What you just said, Barnett wasn't lying to us?"
Adonis nodded. "After the Demon King is killed, he will leave behind a colorful crystal. That crystal can help you return to your own world."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenghao exclaimed happily, "That's great! As long as we kill the Demon King, we can go back!"
He wanted to say something more, but then suddenly deflated and said, "But how do we kill the Demon King? To kill the Demon King, we need to kill the current King of the Kingdom of Mouss. Who would believe us?"
“You don’t need to worry about that! With Adonis and me, we’ll take care of killing him.” Leng Yuexing tapped the table with her finger.
"And what about me?" Xu Zhenghao asked.
"Besides leveling up, what you need to do is tell the remaining heroes the truth, so that they can kill those monsters that have turned into human soldiers while we are on our way!"
"You mean you want me to go back now?" Xu Zhenghao asked hesitantly.
"Of course not. I'll help you level up in the Demon Realm first, and then we'll send you back once we're ready."
Xu Zhenghao nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
Afterwards, the group discussed the upgrade, and Leng Yuexing led Xu Zhenghao to another cleaned-up cave to rest.
"The magical beasts in this cave are all transformed humans, so you don't need to worry about them harming you. You should rest well first, and I'll take you to level up tomorrow." After Leng Yuexing finished speaking, she turned and left the cave.
Xu Zhenghao sat alone on the stone bed, lost in thought. Even though Leng Yuexing had said that those magical beasts were all transformed humans, he was still somewhat afraid.
Just as he was about to force himself to lie down and go to sleep, he caught a glimpse of a magical beast peeking out furtively from the doorway.
The monster had large eyes and was covered in long, blood-red fur, looking like an unpeeled, hairy chestnut.
Compared to the disgusting and terrifying appearance of other monsters, Xu Zhenghao could accept this one to some extent.
He asked tremblingly, "What...is there for me?"
Xu Zhenghao didn't think the magical beast could understand him, but to his surprise, the beast nodded the next second.
It boldly floated in through the cave entrance, a cloth bag hanging from its long fur, and then gently placed the bag on the ground.
Xu Zhenghao swallowed hard and forced a smile. "Thank you."
The monster nodded, then turned and floated away.
Xu Zhenghao gently touched his rapidly beating heart, then slowly got up and picked up the cloth bag.
This cloth bag was on his back when he was teleported here. It must have been left on the round platform and brought over by the magical beast after it noticed it.
The bag contained not much, just some simple food and tools.
He put the cloth bag away and then went back to bed, forcing himself to fall asleep.
The next morning, after having breakfast with Xu Zhenghao, Leng Yuexing took him to a nearby area where magical beasts were said to roam.
Xu Zhenghao discovered just how special Leng Yuexing's skills were.
He and the other heroes thought that Leng Yuexing's skill was useless. It was a G-level skill, and even though it had many abnormal statuses that could be applied, they estimated that it would be difficult to apply even one abnormal status successfully.
However, after seeing Leng Yuexing successfully imbue herself with her supernatural abilities regardless of the level of the magical beast she faced, Xu Zhenghao finally understood just how powerful Leng Yuexing was, and that their previous guesses were all wrong.
Leng Yuexing originally wanted Xu Zhenghao to kill the monster himself, but when she saw that he could only burn the monster's fur when he released his fire-type ability, Leng Yuexing decided to change her strategy.
He first bound the magical beast, then signaled Xu Zhenghao to release his fire-type ability to kill it, so that he could improve faster.
With Leng Yuexing's help, Xu Zhenghao leveled up to level 50 in just one day. If it weren't for the fact that his fire-type ability required many uses to kill a magical beast, he would have already reached level 100.
While keeping him in mind, Leng Yuexing also leveled up two hundred levels in a single day.
Staring at the mountain of monster remains piled up in front of them, Xu Zhenghao knew that as long as Leng Yuexing was there, he would definitely be able to successfully return to his world!
