Chapter 2083: Terrified

Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

After they said this, everyone was terrified.

“You can save us all, right?” They looked at Great Master Liu, hoping that he would be able to answer them.

Terror grew in Great Master Liu’s heart as well, but he thought of his identity and did not show it too obviously. However, Sima You Yue could tell that his expression was a little off.

“Envoy You, is this the unexplained death that you were talking about?” He looked at Evoy Liu. Who knew what kind of answer he was expecting to receive.

“It is.” Envoy You said, “This is the unexplained death that I had told you about before. It’s the same as it was before. Great Master Liu, is this due to the force?”

Envoy Liu nodded, “Although I have not seen the force, at this moment, the chill in the air has intensified.”

Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows. She had sensed it earlier as well. It was clear that the others could not sense that minute difference.

“So it is because of the force! But why did it only kill one of us?” Someone asked.

“Because it wants to frighten us.” Great Master LIu said, “It was to instil a sense of terror in us. It loves to see us afraid.”

Sima You Yue agreed with his view. It was obvious that this force had already formed its own sense of intellect, and it wasn’t low either. However, it was obviously not as powerful as Mi Er was. Mi Er should have no problem dealing with it.

“Everyone please pay attention to what happens next.” Great Master Liu said to everyone.

Obviously, he still had no plans to return.

“We will continue to head forwards. We will reach the area of the ore vein in a few kilometres.” Envoy You said.

The soldiers really didn’t want to go, but they had no place to speak here. If they voiced out their desire to retreat, they would not have to wait for the force to kill them. Envoy You would do it himself.

That was why, regardless of how the journey ahead was like, they had to toughen their hearts and soldier on.

This time, something happened to the two men who were walking in front of Sima You Yue.

“Ah-” Someone walking in front of her cried out.

“What’s wrong?” The others turned around to look, dissatisfaction laced with terror.

Because of his cry, it indicated that something had happened again.

“He- He’s gone.” That person gulped as he said with a mask of horror, “He suddenly disappeared!”

At this time, Envoy You’s expression turned even uglier. Every time they entered, they would experience this. If not because his heart was strong enough, even he would have fallen apart.

“Great Master Li, is this due to the force as well?” He asked.

“It is possible, but I cannot be certain. I have never seen such a powerful force before.” Great Master Li said honestly.

“Is it really that powerful?” Envoy You asked with a tremble.

“Yes. I don’t know how it managed to cause someone to disappear so quietly, but it is precisely because I don’t know how it happened that I know it is powerful.” Great Master Liu said.

At this point, Sima You Yue’s impression of Great Master Liu increased by two points. In an environment like this, it was rare to find someone who dared to admit that he was lacking. However, he admitted that he did not know rather quickly, which proved that his character wasn’t bad.

Great Master Liu did not know how that person had disappeared so soundlessly, but she knew. To be more accurate, it was because of her contract with Mi Er that she was even more sensitive towards the force. She vaguely sensed something had appeared in front of that person, and then he disappeared.

That was why, based on her guess, the person who had disappeared had been eaten by the force.

It was no wonder Old Man Li had said that it was impossible that it was a disruption of the spatial area. He did not sense the fluctuations in space. That was because they were just being eaten!

She contacted Mi Er, who told her that he had already entered the mine. However, the intelligence of the force was pretty high, and it was also slippery. To say nothing of hiding, it was even setting up a maze, and Mi Er was unable to locate it for quite a while.

“Do you want me to return?” Mi Er asked after he knew that another person had dier.

“Not for now.” Sima You yue replied, “You can go ahead and look for it, only then will this problem be solved.”

Mi Er hesitated for a second and said, “Be careful, then.”

“Don’t worry.” Sima You Yue felt like she shouldn’t have a problem dealing with it. Even if she couldn’t see it, she would be able to anticipate it, so hiding wouldn’t be a problem.

“Envoy You, are we going to continue on?” Someone still asked.

“Continue on.” Envoy You was unwilling as well, but Great Master Liu was the most powerful Great Master that they could invite right now. If even he was unable to solve this problem, then this mountain would never be excavated, “Great Master Liu, what do you think?”

Great Master Liu was cursing in his heart, regretting his overconfidence. He had also regretted doing something so dangerous for the sake of money. Right now, he was unable to advance but even more unable to retreat. If he was unable to solve this, Hua Wu Xiang would definitely not hold back once they returned.

It was a path of no return!

“We continue on.” He had no other choice.

When the others heard him say this, they felt dead inside. If they carried on, most of them would die right here.

“Envoy You, can we not continue onwards?” The one who had teased the other person said in a small voice.

“What did you say?” Envoy You looked at the person, his eyes chilling over. He did not wait for him to speak and directly took out a blade and killed him. He looked over at the remaining people and asked, “Is there anyone else who wants to return?”

Everyone was stunned. They had already been scared beyond their wits, and now that this had happened, it was beyond what they could bear.

When they heard the question that Envoy You had posed, everyone shook their heads.

He must have been joking! Who would willingly send themselves to death!

“Then we will carry on.” He knew that he had them under control with this move, so he kept his sword away, turned around and left.”

Sima You Yue allowed herself to walk at the back. The moment a dense chill crept close to her from the back, she directly condensed her spirit energy, turned around and attacked.

“Scree-”

A piercing cry and wave of spirit energy attracted the attention of those in front. However, when they turned around, they only saw Sima You Yue on guard.

“What happened?”

“I just felt like there was something attacking me, so I subconsciously fought back.” Sima You Yue replied.

“You managed to hit it?” Envoy You did not overlook that piercing cry.

“I think so.” Sima You Yue was uncertain as well, “But I seemed to have scared it off.”

“You were actually able to strike that thing?” The others did not believe eit.

“How did you do it?” Envoy You asked. He looked at Sima You Yue with a gaze that seemed to examine her but was also filled with suspicion. Nobody else realised it, but she did. There was something strange about her.

“I don’t know either.” Sima You Yue looked at him innocently, “I suddenly felt a burst of cold air, and recalled how Great Master Liu said earlier that the chill had intensified. I got scared so I attacked.”

As she spoke, she looked towards Great Master LIu and waited for him to agree.. The hidden meaning in her eyes was something only the two of them understood.
