Chapter 37: That Damn Fate
Now that Xu Shu, that old thing, has come chasing in, Lin Feng dared not linger. He picked up the masked female cultivator and rushed deeper in.
Massive piles of Bone Mountains were stacked together, these Bone Mountains were the piled-up corpses of fierce beasts killed by the Golden Giants.
This place was like a human hell.
"Boy, meet your death."
Xu Shu saw Lin Feng, his voice was icy cold, and he raised his right hand, slapping towards Lin Feng.
Whoosh...
Lin Feng accelerated his speed, narrowly avoiding the attack Xu Shu blasted forth.
A loud boom resounded as Xu Shu's attack blasted onto a Bone Mountain.
Crack, crack.
A large number of bones fractured, and the Bone Mountain began to collapse.
Roar, roar, roar...
The Golden Giants were startled, and immediately roared in anger. Over thirty Golden Giants looked over, each consumed with fury.
Humans had dared to intrude into their lair!
These Golden Giants were filled with murderous intent.
In the eyes of the Golden Giants, human cultivators were merely their food.
Now, humans dared to intrude into their lair; was this a provocation against the tribe of Golden Giants?
A Golden Giant wielding a massive Stone Hammer leaped up and charged towards Xu Shu to kill him.
"This is bad..." Xu Shu's face changed drastically.
He intended to kill Lin Feng with one strike and then quickly escape, but Lin Feng had avoided his attack. Now, with the Golden Giants charging at him, Xu Shu had no way to dodge and had to withstand the Golden Giant's blow.
Xu Shu dared not hesitate, and he immediately unleashed the divine skill of River Reversal.
Clang.
The Stone Hammer of the Golden Giant collided with Xu Shu's attack, producing a deafening sound.
Soon after, Xu Shu's attack was broken by the Golden Giant.
Then, Xu Shu was hit by the Stone Hammer.
Crack, crack.
It's unknown how many bones on his body were broken, and his whole body flew backward.
The Golden Giant was truly terrifying.
Xu Shu coughed up blood, terrified to the point of liver and gallbladder collapse. When the Golden Giant charged at him again, Xu Shu dared not linger and rushed toward the outside.
The Golden Giant chased him out, but evidently couldn't catch up, letting out a roar of fury.
Meanwhile, inside the Bone Mountain, Lin Feng's situation was even worse than Xu Shu's. He was surrounded by the Golden Giants while holding the masked woman.
Over thirty Golden Giants had him completely surrounded.
No matter what he did, he couldn't escape.
Lin Feng's face was grim as he cautiously retreated.
Boom.
A Golden Giant swung the Stone Hammer at Lin Feng.
That terrifying blow could crush a ten-thousand-meter giant mountain in an instant.
Lin Feng quickly retreated, but was still hit by the Stone Hammer and was flung sideways, crashing heavily into a Bone Mountain.
Lin Feng only felt as if his insides were burning, his body felt like it no longer belonged to him, and his face was extremely pale. That blow almost took half of his life.
Crack, crack!
Lin Feng had blasted a large hole into the Bone Mountain, and he and the masked female cultivator fell to the ground.
The Golden Giant holding the Stone Hammer charged again, and Lin Feng couldn't help but show a trace of despair on his face; he had nowhere to hide now.
At this critical moment, Lin Feng suddenly discovered that the large crack beside him seemed to lead underground, which greatly surprised him.
Lin Feng rolled with the beautiful female cultivator toward the dark hole.
Then Lin Feng found himself rolling down a stairway.
Outside were the furious roars of the Golden Giants.
Over thirty Golden Giants were gathered in front of the Bone Mountain, roaring continuously.
But these Golden Giants didn't dare to destroy the Bone Mountain, nor did they dare to rush in.
It seemed there was something inside the cave that frightened these Golden Giants.
...
"This is a hall?"
Lin Feng fell to the ground, puzzled as he looked around at the surroundings.
There were massive stone walls on all sides, it seemed to be a Stone Hall.
Buried beneath the Bone Mountain, he and the masked female cultivator had just rolled down from the hall's steps.
The halls were layered, now they should be in the first major hall, which was empty and emitted a cold aura. Looking deeper, one could vaguely see the second major hall.
"Could it really be a Divine Hall?" Lin Feng's heart was filled with shock.
He thought of the mysterious legend that had always circulated outside.
The Golden Giants were the servants of gods.
They guarded the Divine Hall.
Now it seemed, perhaps this was indeed possible.
Lin Feng did not immediately further explore the hall, he looked at the masked woman, carefully checking her injuries, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; although the injuries were severe, thankfully they were not fatal.
Lin Feng took out a Ten-thousand-year Treasure Medicine and administered it to the masked woman. He didn't have many of this level of treasure medicine, but to heal this masked woman, it was all worth it.
After taking the Ten-thousand-year Treasure Medicine, the masked woman's breath became much steadier.
"Who are you? Why risk your life to save me?"
Lin Feng murmured, he reached out and removed the mask from her face.
A stunningly beautiful face appeared before his eyes.
Liuu Piaomiao.
A woman Lin Feng never forgot.
In former years, when demons were running rampant, Liuu Piaomiao had stepped forward to kill demons.
She was the daughter of the City Lord of Sun Moon City, a prodigy among the young generation in the East County Divine Land, enough to rank within the top three.
Later, when vying for the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure Xuanming Black Flame Fruit, she was injured and hunted by Fenng Yaorao, but was fortunately saved by Lin Feng.
But afterward, Liuu Piaomiao left without a word, leaving Lin Feng a bit melancholic; he never thought he'd meet Liuu Piaomiao here again.
At this moment, Liuu Piaomiao's long eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes the next moment.
She saw Lin Feng and tried hard to sit up.
"You are injured, you should rest for a while longer," Lin Feng advised.
"I really didn't expect to survive," Liuu Piaomiao said weakly.
"Thank you for saving me," Lin Feng replied.
"Consider it repayment for you saving me back then," Liuu Piaomiao said with a hint of coldness in her voice.
She sighed slightly in her heart.
This encounter with Lin Feng was something Liuu Piaomiao hadn't expected either.
The past floated to the surface of her mind, and seeing Lin Feng in danger, she had rushed forth without any hesitation.
But now having survived to be alone with Lin Feng, Liuu Piaomiao knew she must distance herself from Lin Feng.
Because she had a marriage pact with the heir of an Ancient Force.
Even though she had never met that person, what difference did it make?
The marriage pact of an Ancient Force couldn't be defied; if she became entangled with Lin Feng, it would only harm him.
This was human fate.
That damn fate.
That indomitable fate.
Lin Feng could sense Liuu Piaomiao's distance, lacking the warmth of old friends reuniting, but he wasn't bothered.
Lin Feng said, "You should rest here and recover; I'll go inside and take a look."
He got up and walked toward the depths of the hall.
Liuu Piaomiao couldn't help but sigh softly as she watched Lin Feng's back.
