Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 101: Second Floor
The dragon pagoda is a building consisting of seven floors. It has a height of more than thirty-five meters and a base area of ten thousand meters.
Everyone can enter the first floor, but to go up to the second floor and so on takes effort and luck.
This is because inside the pagoda is a room like a labyrinth. There were so many paths, but only a few led to the door leading to the second floor.
"Zhang Yu, what do you think we'll get if we make it to the seventh floor?" Wu Zetian walked with vigor. Put your feet up while putting your hands behind your back.
He didn't realize the three people who were behind him were now invisible to his nose.
But as his sentence continued to be ignored he felt annoyed and immediately turned his back. Only then did Wu Zetian realize here, there was only himself.
Uh...
"Where are they?" In an instant Wu Zetian became panicked. Shut up for a moment, then shout out to Zhang Yu, Tang Yue and He Jiao in trembling voices.
"Excession! Did they leave me here alone?!"
As the panic grew, Wu Zetian could not think calmly. He ran like he was being chased by a demon, not even caring what was around, just swinging his legs like lightning.
"Zhang Yu's! Tang Yue's! Jiao He!" He screamed again hoping for an answer.
Until one time, he saw the silhouettes of the three of them from a distance. For a moment Wu Zetian did not want to be fooled, he blinked a few times but there seemed to be nothing wrong with his vision.
"They ... Didn't I walk in front of them? How can they be in front of me?" Wu Zetian shook his head then sped up his pace.
Once in place the first thing he does is check them out. True original or not. However ....
Plaque!
Tang Yue hit Wu Zetian's back rather hard. "What are you doing? You think we're statues of you turning around recklessly?!"
Instead of being upset or angry, Wu Zetian sighed and looked relieved. "Thank God I met you guys back. But really you guys are too much to leave me alone."
"Wu Zetian, we're not leaving you. You're the one who walked so fast regardless of us" He Jiao replied.
But how could Wu Zetian believe his sentence. It was clearly her who was left behind. So it makes perfect sense that he was left behind.
"It's a dead end. We just keep turning if we take the same path."
"Yes, sure ... Wh-what do you mean? Dead end?" Wu Zetian watched the road in front of him. "You're saying I'm walking along a dead end until I see you guys back?"
Instead of explaining it directly, Zhang Yu had Wu Zetian turn around. He could see three branches of the road.
"You walked so fast that we couldn't stop you" He Jiao said noticing a frown on Wu Zetian's face.
Tang Yue nodded her head. "True, it's also your own fault for acting like you know the way. But not realizing that the right path can only be found in the opposite direction."
"This room actually resembles a circle. We're going in through the inner path, so the exit path is on the outer side." Zhang Yu explained briefly.
Apart from that, it must be admitted that the mechanism of this room is truly unique. If they move straight in the right direction, there will be no way out because the visible path is only one main path. But when walking opposite, two paths that resemble tree branches on the sides of the main track can be seen at one opposite point.
"Because the way out has been found. What are you guys waiting for? Come fast!" Wu Zetian no longer cared about his awkward feelings. He walked like nothing had happened and was very confident.
Tang Yue was completely unable to bear it and gradually rolled her eyes lazily. But he didn't say anything. Following Zhang Yu and He Jiao who had also made a move.
A few minutes later they went up to the second floor. Found some rare treasure chests and resources in the room rooms found around the hallway.
"Well! The crystal flower that had stretched perfectly. How did you get it?" he Jiao asked enthusiastically.
Tang Yue also told a little while examining one of the cubicles and found an adult crystal flower. Do not forget to also show the newly checked room.
"I myself also did not expect to get a crystal flower that had bloomed like this. It seems like today is my luck."
"Lucky? Looks like luck's ours."
This voice came unexpectedly. Tang Yue and He Jiao spontaneously turned around to look at the group of people wearing matching clothes with the two of them.
They were also from the Imperial Academy!
Neither this group of five people, nor Tang Yue and He Jiao did not expect that they were still an academy.
Ahem...
One man who stood to the far right took a breath and cleared his throat with a loud voice. "You two seem to be outer court disciples."
"Certainly,"
The man's smile was stifled, but it momentarily expanded again. "We as seniors don't want to bully fellow students of the academy. So we gave you a choice. Hand over the crystal flowers and we'll invite you to join our group."
Tang Yue and He Jiao fell silent. Tails of eyes glanced at each other then started laughing at them.
Tang Yue and He Jiao's attitude made the five inner disciples inflamed. Their faces were red and it was clear that anger was still on hold.
"You don't know who we are? We are ...."
"Nobody cares who you are. They don't need a weak group either."
All eyes were on Wu Zetian who had just walked out of one of the rooms. His fat body seemed to glow and every sentence was extremely sharp.
Wu Zetian's sentence managed to make these five people even more furious. "Bad fat bastard! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Seeing the five people coming together of course Wu Zetian did not dare to face him. "Excession! If you guys are really men, let's go one-on-one!"
"You said we were a weak group. Of course we have to show you our strength" said one of them.
Wu Zetian's face was pale. He stepped back and accidentally hit Zhang Yu who had just come.
"Zhang Yu, you're finally here." Wu Zetian changed the look on his face so quickly. The one who had been scared and panicked was now back in confidence.
The five inner disciples narrowed their eyes in doubt. Although he had never seen Zhang Yu's face in person, but his name was already very famous among the inner and outer disciples. So it was not a strange thing once they heard his name, his expression instantly changed by one hundred and eighty degrees.
"What is this? ...."
Wu Zetian obviously wanted to say something. But the five inner disciples instantly grabbed him.
"There's nothing. It's just a misunderstanding. We're leaving right now. See you soon."
They run faster than rabbits chased by wolves. Not stopping or just looking back.
Zhang Yu turned his shoulders. I'm not a monster. Why are they running?"
