The Eastern Continent Swordsman
CH. 53 - The Abyss of Hell Part 2

“Hell Valley??! What other nightmare is this?!” the female grouse that Zhou Fu tied on Kuma's back. The woman was shocked when she realized that she was in a place quite close to the Valley of Hell.

The day had changed, but the sun was still not seen because the morning was still too early. Zhou Fu was meditating when his ears heard a noise from the woman who was with Kuma. He opened his eyes and found that the woman had managed to untie the bond in his body. He seemed to be squeaking his arm which seemed to be reddened due to the former bond.

“Jawab honestly, did you yell last night telling me to come back?” Zhou Fu rose to his feet and asked a question that deeply disturbed his mind.

“I? Yells??? I even just managed to open my eyes,” replied the girl while still twitching some parts on her body. Then he suddenly turned his head towards Zhou Fu.

“Does that mean last night you had an attack from the Valley of Hell?” the woman turned her head towards Zhou Fu. And was replied with a hesitant nod by Zhou Fu.

“The Valley of Hell is a hole of four meters in a circle, which is about thirty meters from here. The hole in the valley, no one ever knew how deep it was. Clearly, every night it came, the valley was emitting a thick fog that people said could make anyone lose their life because of it. I myself do not understand how a thick fog can take a person's life! Hey, why can I talk at such length to a person who might just be my enemy?” the woman suddenly retreated her steps, she seemed to just remember if the young man who brought her was not necessarily good behavior.

“Oh yes, I also just remembered if I had to check on you, the lady who claimed to be Yang Zi!” Zhou Fu darted and in a matter of seconds he had already re-gripped the female clothes that were in front of him.

“A... I am indeed Yang Zi. I hope you are a friend of my brother.” Yang Zi replied as she rewinded her increasingly glared at face by Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fu again rubbed the back of his hand against Yang Zi's facial skin, and sure enough after a few strokes, he found a face that was quite like Shen Shen's. It was like he was dealing with Shen Shen, but in a figure that seemed more independent and not spoiled.

Zhou Fu then let go of his grip. The palm of his right hand seemed to ruffle the girl's hair while saying, “thank goodness you're still alive! Shen Shen will be happy to know,” Zhou Fu said with a slightly raised smile. There was a relief that crawled Zhou Fu's body so confident that the girl in front of him was Yang Zi.

“Oh, so is it true that you are my brother's friend? Thank goodness I was happy to hear it!” the girl suddenly pulled her foot out and tried to embrace the shoulder of Zhou Fu who was taller than her. It seemed, it was an expression of her happiness from feeling re-confident if her brother was still alive. Yang Zi continued to embrace Zhou Fu even though Zhou Fu asked him to give up the embrace. Yang Zi became quite certain that Zhou Fu was indeed close to his brother because the man called his brother Shen Shen, a call that not everyone knew.

“Have stopped, the most important thing is, tell me how to get through the Valley of Hell!” Zhou Fu forced Yang Zi to give up his embrace.

“We can pass it after the sun appears on the surface, there is a sturdy wooden bridge that crosses the valley! The dangerous fog only comes out when the sun is not shining. So, is your goal this time to head to where my sister is?” yang Zi replied which then also asked.

“Why can that be? What is in the valley?” Zhou Fu furrowed his brows.

“Hem... So apparently, quite interesting.” replied Zhou Fu nodding his head, he only heard about the existence of a location that is quite mysterious like the valley of hell.

Yang Zi then asked Zhou Fu to sit down for a while with her because the girl said that she had an information that Zhou Fu must know. They also sat three with Kuma who was also resting on the path overlooking the ravine.

Deftly, Yang Zi created a bonfire as he felt the air in the place was quite cold. Seeing Yang Zi who was quite independent, Zhou Fu was confused how could the girl have an older brother who was actually very spoiled and could not do anything.

“So, what do you want to tell me?” zhou Fu asked as he brought his two hands closer to the source of the fire that Yang Zi had just made.

“About the source of the money you got in Maundo. Trust me, hitting a black rock to crack, it was an unwise choice!” yang Zi replied with a serious look.

A few hours earlier, when he had just parted ways with Zhao Yunlei, Zhou Fu had indeed traveled around the Maundo region in search of places that could bring in money. He finally found an interesting arena where the organizers would pay a price for anyone who could crack the black stone he had prepared.

“Not wise do you mean? From him, I can get this horse!” Zhou Fu berkilah.

“Not so, I saw the organizer working with the Caihong government. The people who managed to crack the black stone will be immediately painted in his face, then the image of your face will be sent to the central government and they will begin to investigate about you. That game, if you believe me, it's a trap!” yang Zi said with an expression that was still quite serious.

As someone who managed to disguise himself as a port officer, Yang Zi had managed to find interesting facts about the land of Caihong that he lived in. One of them is about the fact the game crushes black stone in Maundo. The game was deliberately made to find great people who would potentially cause problems for the country of Caihong. To find the talented people, the organizers of the game arena received a full donation from the government.

“Hem, what if I don't care?” Zhou Fu seemed to yawn and was a little disinterested in the topic of conversation Yang Zi carried. However, what Yang Zi spoke was a truth. In the near future, Zhou Fu's face painting will be sent to Caihong's government headquarters.
