Meritorious Service

Li Taixuan and the other two instantly retreated, clearing out the area where He Chi stood.

Anyone could tell at a glance that such a conspicuous spot was meant for leading the charge.

"Don't worry. I've got everything covered."

Zi Tianji said it with practiced ease. Li Taixuan and the other two twitched at the corners of their mouths. Hearing those words from Zi Tianji only made them more uneasy.

"I..."

He Chi shuffled two steps forward. The utterly ordinary cave before him now looked like a ferocious beast waiting to devour someone, sending chills down his spine. Even the wind blowing out from within felt cold.

"I'll give you a push."

Zi Tianji suddenly raised his hand and grabbed He Chi by the shoulder.

A great force surged from his hand. At the same time, a pair of Materialization hands reached out from the void, joining Zi Tianji in seizing He Chi's body. Four arms exerted force together and hurled He Chi inside as though tossing out trash.

"Aah!!!"

He Chi screamed as his whole body rolled into the cave like a gourd hitting the ground.

His cries grew farther and farther away, vanishing completely before long.

"You three should go as well. This time, go in together."

After waiting for about a moment with no movement whatsoever, the Puppet suddenly spoke.

The three shuddered at those words and instinctively glanced at Zi Tianji. Seeing that he made no move, they could only cautiously fly into the cave.

The moment he entered, Li Taixuan immediately sensed that something was wrong. The surroundings were completely different from what they had seen last time. It was no longer the cave piled high with discarded objects, but an incomparably vast Underground Space. Pitch-black beetles crawled all over the surrounding walls.

"Get lost!!"
