Chapter 58
Roar!
“Don’t worry, we will reach there soon.” Fu Chen chuckled as they made their way towards the cave located in the isolated part of the Fire King Region.
As they walked forward, they eventually reached the cave.
Scream!
“I don’t know. Not many people are aware of this place. As for those who explore the cave, they never come out.” Fu Chen explained as they stood in front of the cave.
It was quite big but not that big to gain a lot of attention. There were two trees in front of the cave and the mouth of the cave was quite dark.
Scream!
“What do you mean? Of course, there would be a danger. You didn’t expect to get the treasure without risking our lives, did you?” Fu Chen looked at the monkey with confusion and asked.
Hearing his question, both of them nodded their heads.
“There is no free lunch in this world. We have to fight for it. If you are afraid, you can return,” Fu Chen responded and turned around.
Scream!
“No, I didn’t use you to get here. I could’ve got here by myself. I thought you were courageous, not cowards.”
Roar! Scream! (Who are you calling cowards? Go, let’s go and see this death cave)
Monkey and the wolf got enraged hearing his words. The monkey showed him his middle finger and jumped towards the cave while the wolf followed.
Looking at them, Fu Chen shook his head. Then, he looked at the cave and thought.
‘He couldn’t be more right. This is now known as a Death Cave. If I pass this death cave, I will be able to accomplish my dream but if I fail, then I die.’
Thinking so, he took a big step and entered the cave. It was certainly. As they walked in though, the walls started glowing.
Slowly, the bright light filled the entire cave, and finally, they reached in front of the big room. There was a door on the other side but there was a slight problem.
There was a massive hole in this room. There was nothing connecting the two sides. Fu Chen walked closer to the hole and looked down. He couldn’t even see the end.
Scream! (Well, that’s the end of our journey. Let’s return!)
“No, there must be something else to cross this path. Let’s wait and try something.” Fu Chen shook his head and sat down for a moment. He tried to remember some clue from that note.
But, he found nothing. It didn’t give him any information about the challenges they faced inside the cave.
Roar!
“What do you mean? You mean there is the road ahead?” Fu Chen raised his head and looked at the wolf with confusion. He didn’t see any road in front of him.
The wolf nodded his head and took a step forward. The monkey tried to stop him but when his foot reached a certain distance, it touched something and stopped falling.
Fu Chen and the monkey looked at each other with dumbfounded expressions.
Roar!
“There is a smell in the road? Hmm! I guess someone recently tried to cross it. Well, let’s continue then.” Fu Chen stepped forward and his foot stepped on the invisible road.
But, soon he found that it wasn’t actually a road rather it was bright. Both sides were empty and if they fell, they fell to the darkness.
The monkey also followed them. Three of them carefully walked and crossed the bridge in a few minutes.
After they reached another side, they looked back and sighed. Fortunately, nobody fell down. They continued on their path but the wolf suddenly stopped them.
Whoosh! Bang! Crack!
A sharp spear suddenly passed in front of them and collided against the wall. If the wolf had made a single mistake, then all of them had to pay. Fu Chen was terrified.
After all, he was planning on going here alone. But, he wasn’t ready. He wasn’t ready for this at all.
Roar!
“Alright! We will leave this to your nose.” Fu Chen nodded his head and they continued. On their way, they stumbled against many traps. Most of them were detected by wolves but some weren’t.
They had to physically deflect some traps. Soon, they crossed the hallway and reached another room. But unlike before, it was a simple ground. When they reached there, they looked around.
They were still looking for the traps.
Scream!
“Yeah! I know. Lots of people died here.” On the way, they had already seen a lot of bones. Most of them belonged to the monsters while some of them belonged to humans as well.
But, in this room, there were even more. There was literally a dump of bones. Seeing this, all of them gulped their saliva and slowly walked forward.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, the ground beneath them started cracking. They hurriedly backed down and saw the piles of stones emerging from the ground. These stones slowly turned into giant bodies. There were three of them.
Scream! (I am not good at fighting.)
“Now, you are telling me this. Come on, we have to fight one-on-one to stop them. Just hold them even if you can’t defeat them.” Fu Chen summoned his Red Beast Armor and instantly dashed towards one of the middles.
The wolf and the monkey looked at each other and dashed towards their opponents as well. Covering with red armor, he slammed his fist against the giant stone body.
Crack!
When he punched, he found his armor cracking. His eyes widened when he saw this.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Suddenly, three golems swing their arms and three of them flew away and got smashed against the wall.
Scream! (We can’t fight them. They are too strong.)
Roar! (I am not a coward like him but my attacks won’t work either.)
Fu Chen also understood this deeply. He looked at them walking forward and panicked a little.
“Then, don’t attack it. Bring it to the wall of the trap. But, only one cat fits on that path, so do it slowly.”
Scream! (I will try to bring my opponent there first.)
Fu Chen sighed and clenched his fist. His armor was almost cracked by his own punch. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly charged toward the golem.
“Thunder Aura!”
Releasing the power of lightning, he covered his armor body with lightning. He clenched his fist and once again punched the golem.
Bang!
His punch struck the golem’s chest but it did nothing.
Whoosh!
He quickly stepped on the golem and somersaulted to dodge its attack. He retreated and took a deep breath. Although his attack didn’t work, it didn’t break at least.
The Thunder Aura was quite strong.
‘How am I supposed to defeat it? If I can’t even defeat it, what’s the worth of me being a genius? Do I really have to rely on those things to defeat it? No, now isn’t the time to feel bad.’
‘I must defeat it and I must find a way soon.’
Fu Chen took a deep breath and stared at the golem who had already reached in front of him. The golem slammed its arm towards him. But, it was too slow.
Using his fast reflexes, he held the arm of the golem and jumped on its head.
Bang!
The golem struck the ground and left cracked it open. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
‘My raw strength won’t do anything at all. I must find another way.’ Fu Chen gulped down his saliva seeing the crack. He looked at the body of the golem while it moved its fist towards itself.
Whoosh! Bang!
Fu Chen jumped to the ground but when he landed, he saw something amazing. Even though he jumped early, the golem still struck its head and stumbled for a moment.
Seeing this, his eyes widened for a moment and his lips curled.
“Wolf, try to get your golem towards me. Do it fast!” While moving at a certain distance, he shouted. His golem also charged toward him while the wolf also saw this and charged toward him.
He got the gist of his plan. As they reached in front of each other, they paused for a moment.
“Now, jump!” Fu Chen shouted as both of them jumped towards the ceiling.
Bang!
The golems slammed its fist against each other, knocking each other to the ground.
Thud! Thud!
The entire room shook for a while. Fu Chen and the wolf also landed on the ground.
“We can’t defeat them with our strength but we don’t need to use our strength. From now on, coordinate each other’s position and use their own strike against each other.” Fu Chen spoke and rushed towards his golem.
The wolf also understood the plan and rushed towards his golem. As for the monkey, it was already pulling the golem towards the hallway filled with traps.
As soon as they got the plan, they started using it properly and slamming those golems against each other.
