Chapter 695: Whoever Loses Shall Kneel and Call the Winner Dad

Han Fei and the others were floating and spinning while they observed the underground palace.

Tang Ge suddenly pointed behind everyone. “Is that an array?”

Han Fei turned back, only to see an enormous area of ice before the army of statues. On the ice, spiritual energy was circulating in circuits.

The coverage of the spiritual energy was so massive that the whole altar at the center was in it.

Han Fei felt that his heart was heavy. “That’s right. It’s an array, and a fairly large one.”

Su Hongye asked, “What is the purpose of this array?”

Han Fei pointed at the front of the ice. “If my guess is correct, there’s a battlefield outside of the array.”

As he talked, Han Fei took out his bow and shot an arrow at the location he described.

The arrow of spiritual energy exploded, and many illusions drifted out of the ground.

Ye Xiangxiang exclaimed, “Souls of the Half-Mermaids? Why are they dead here?”

Han Fei chuckled. “Because of the altar that the woman occupies, of course. There must be something special on the altar that human beings and the Half-Mermaids all wanted.”

Tang Ge asked a question, “But why are there statues of human warriors on the ground? They should’ve been living people if this place was a battlefield.”

Han Fei was more or less confused too. “Were those statues actually real people?”

Su Hongye jumped in, “That can’t be right. I specifically examined the statues after we came in. They are truly made of stone inside and out.

Han Fei suggested, “What if they were transformed into stone by some sort of spell?”

Su Hongye was stunned. “How can there be such a terrifying spell?”

Han Fei couldn’t help but remember the Ghost Eye Giant Crocodile that was working as a hired hand in the Thug Academy. It could petrify any creature by looking at it.

Ye Xiangxiang was getting impatient. “Hey, why bother thinking so much? Let’s just go to the central altar and claim whatever treasure is there.”

Su Hongye shouted, “No! If what we speculated is true and the central altar is so important, do you think we can get there so easily?”

As a matter of fact, Han Fei wanted to go there too.

In the spirit of cautiousness, he took out a fishing pole and caught a statue down below. “We can get closer first!”

They all found it feasible. It was too soon to reach the altar yet, but it was fine to take a closer look at it.

However, before Han Fei and the others went down, an explosion had burst out, and a familiar person flew in from another side through a broken gate.

“Zhao Jiayi?”

Zhao Jiayi seemed to have been pushed in by someone. He was rather stunned to find himself floating.

When he saw Han Fei and the others, he instantly roared, “Here! We need your help!”

Han Fei and the others immediately realized that Meng Guiyi and his team had broken in.

The four of them quickly cast out their hooks and moved to Zhao Jiayi.

At the same time, a bunch of other people barged in through the broken gate.

Meng Guiyi, Chen Aochen, and Ning Dong were all among them.

However, there were only six human beings in total. Where were the others?

Han Fei felt rather grave. Were they all dead?

Apart from them, the three Half-Mermaids who were wearing golden battle suits and holding golden harpoons had arrived too, followed by two Half-Mermaid Heavenly Talents.

Ye Xiangxiang looked rather grim. “Something went wrong…”

After Ye Xiangxiang said that, another three people broke in. Han Fei recognized one of the three newcomers to be Chen Chen who got separated from him earlier.

Apart from Chen Chen, there was a hunter and a Half-Mermaid.

But their behavior was rather weird. They didn’t float like Meng Guiyi and the others did.

Instead, Chen Chen simply stomped on the ice, and the spiritual energy on the ice flashed faster.

“Don’t touch the array!” Han Fei instantly roared.

Meng Guiyi, on the other hand, shouted at Han Fei, “The three of them have been possessed. They’re no longer themselves.”

Han Fei felt that his head was giddy. He looked at Tang Ge, shocked that another three had been possessed.

Han Fei was further convinced a moment later, because the array began to change after the three of them ran crazily on it for a while.

Chen Chen suddenly roared, “Whoever disturbs the master shall be killed!”

As Chen Chen roared, a thousand ice blades rose to the sky and swept at Meng Guiyi and the others like dragons.

However, the survivors who made it to this point were all smart and skilled.

The moment Meng Guiyi and the others started floating, they had cast their hooks to the ocean of statues and quickly moved to Han Fei and his team.

However, Han Fei noticed a flash of spiritual energy under a statue’s feet when it was attached to a fishing hook.

Han Fei roared again, “Let go, don’t come any closer!”

But it was already too late. Before anybody could react, infinite mist, mixed with a colorful glow, was rising from the whole palace.

Then, Han Fei couldn’t see anything any longer. Everybody around him had completely vanished.

“Tang Ge, Tang Ge! Ye Xiangxiang! Su Hongye?”

“Damn it. Meng Guiyi is really a stupid teammate!”

“This is getting big! Is this an illusion or something?”

Han Fei found himself in a snowy world, and he fell from the sky to the ground.

Creak…

He moved his feet, and the snow crunched. He lifted his feet, and a footprint was left down below. Everything was vivid.

“Anybody here?”

Han Fei looked around and shouted. His senses were still blocked, and he could not see anything with his naked eye in the endless snow.

“I’m here!”

Hearing Tang Ge’s voice, Han Fei shouted, “Don’t move and keep talking! I’m coming to you!”

Tang Ge sounded nervous, “I don’t think we’re in the underground palace anymore.”

Han Fei smiled bitterly. “I know that too! Look, the snow creaks every time my feet step on it.”

After running five hundred meters, Han Fei saw Tang Ge who was looking around with his long spear. They didn’t see each other until they were only three meters away.

Seeing Han Fei, Tang Ge instantly smiled. “Let’s go find the others.”

Briefly stunned, Han Fei suddenly unleashed his Blood-Drinking Knife and cut Tang Ge.

Tang Ge blocked it with his spear and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you? It’s me!”

Tang Ge asked in shock, “Have you been enchanted?”

Han Fei instantly sneered. “Although Tang Ge always smiles in a silly way when he sees me, it’s different from your way.”

Han Fei realized that something was wrong the moment he saw him. Although this man looked identical to Tang Ge, the real Tang Ge wouldn’t have smiled in such a situation.

Also, Tang Ge’s smile, which bordered on grinning, was to show his delight and satisfaction. Why would he feel delighted and satisfied at such a moment?

Tang Ge was still explaining, “I am Tang Ge!”

Han Fei summoned the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp. “Okay, let me ask you, what’s your naturally endowed spiritual beast?”

Tang Ge instantly replied, “The Dragon Feather Lobster!”

Han Fei was briefly stunned. Could I be wrong?

But he still felt that something was off. He said again, “Summon the Dragon Feather Lobster, I want to see it!”

Tang Ge quickly put down the spear. “Don’t be rash and I’ll show it to you.”

Tang Ge’s eyebrows flashed, and the Dragon Feather Lobster appeared.

But before Tang Ge could do anything, a knife light slashed at him the moment the Dragon Feather Lobster appeared. The overwhelming knife intent in the attack cut Tang Ge into halves and reduced him to snow.

Han Fei sneered. He knew that it was fake, because he would’ve read the stats of the Dragon Feather Lobster if it were real.

However, while the Dragon Feather Lobster was simulated, it didn’t show any data, which meant that it was a counterfeit.

The fake Tang Ge had been cut apart, and Han Fei grew vigilant again, knowing that he couldn’t trust anyone here.

He saw through the fake Tang Ge because he was very familiar with him. If it were anybody else, he wouldn’t have been able to identify them unless he asked them to summon their spiritual beasts.

Han Fei walked for no more than three hundred meters in the snow, when he had a stinging feeling on his back. He quickly turned around, put on the ultra-quality battle suit, and cut back.

This time, it was a person that Han Fei wasn’t familiar with. If Han Fei remembered correctly, he was a hunter from Xu Mo’s team.

The man looked at Han Fei, and Han Fei looked back at him, frowning.

Seeing Han Fei, the man took a long breath of relief. “Sorry. I only came here because I heard fighting noises. I didn’t expect to meet an ally.”

Han Fei quickly waved his hand. “Hey, let’s wait and see if I’m your ally. Summon your naturally-endowed spiritual beast and let me check it first. I won’t be your ally until you do that.”

The man: “???”

The man was lost for words. “What’s the meaning of this?”

Han Fei sneered. “Literally what it means. We won’t be allies until I see your spiritual beast.”

The man hesitated for a while and then summoned a Red Fox Fish.

After that, Han Fei’s knife flashed and he cut the man apart too.

Han Fei cursed and said, “You’re trying to trick me again? You think I’m so gullible? Someone is behind the mist, right? Are you the master of this Snow God’s Temple? You really think you can trick me so easily? To tell you the truth, I have eyes that are as bright as torches, and I can see the true nature of things behind their surface. So, stop wasting your time and come duel with me if you’ve got balls. Whoever loses shall kneel and call the winner dad!”
