You Guys Have a Pretty Good Relationship
"What's wrong?" Fudi perceived his companion's abnormality and asked doubtfully.
"... Let's go in that direction and take a look."
"Did you perceive it??"
"No."
"Then you..."
"Anyway, we don't know the general direction either, so let's just walk in that direction." Tu Tian looked at the departing fallen leaf and murmured, "I have a premonition... fate is guiding us forward."
Fudi rolled his eyes, "You still believe in this stuff."
Although Fudi felt displeased with Tu Tian's casualness, they indeed had nowhere to go right now. After a brief hesitation, he still chose to trust intuition this once and set off in that direction.
As the crowd continuously explored, the surrounding old buildings gradually became sparse, replaced by patches of desolate rubble, looking like a primitive zone that had been preliminarily blasted once but hadn't been developed in time.
The moment he stepped onto this land, Fudi let out a light sound of surprise and suddenly stopped his footsteps.
He closed his eyes to carefully perceive for a moment, and a flash of astonishment passed over his face.
"Could it be... there really is fate?"
"Found it??" Tu Tian was somewhat excited.
"Under this land, there is something other than rocks and soil, and it's very large." Fudi opened his eyes, "I have an eighty percent certainty that that 'Dark Palace' is right underneath here."
"What did I say? We are the chosen ones."
Tu Tian laughed heartily.
"Don't be happy too early, the entrance hasn't been found yet... Moreover, there is a group of annoying hyenas following behind us."
"Don't bother with them. Find the entrance to the 'Dark Palace' first. When the time comes, who can snatch the [Privilege] still depends on whose fists are harder."
Tu Tian coldly snorted, and the two quickly spread out to search nearby.
Seeing the obvious acceleration of the two's movements, the numerous figures trailing behind also guessed something, and whispers immediately sounded:
"It should be right around here!"
"Quick, split up and search, see if we can gain the First to Arrive, First to Benefit advantage!"
"..."
More and more participants "accidentally" arrived at this rubble Wilderness. Some were alone, some were in pairs or trios. With the arrival of Tu Tian and Fudi, the originally empty Wilderness instantly became lively!
Seeing this, Fudi couldn't help but sneer:
"Truly thick-skinned."
"What? Is this place exclusive to your Dragon-Strangling Warriors?" In the crowd, a young girl with two meatball buns tied in her hair proudly raised her chin.
"Pu Xiachan, don't you guys feel your eating appearance is a bit too ugly?"
"The struggle for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] should originally be By One's Own Merit. Could it be that we still have to distinguish between who arrived first and who arrived later, and rank according to seniority?" Pu Xiachan was obviously not afraid of these Qiankun Twins, and a similarly Fifth-Tier Aura was released. "If you really feel you can't swallow this breath, then let's fight a match right now!"
"Miss Pu is right."
Another slender-figured man calmly nodded, "[Heaven-Reaching Star Position], By One's Own Merit."
At this moment, the number of people on the Wilderness had already exceeded ten. It was naturally impossible for Tu Tian and Fudi to take the initiative to provoke and make enemies with everyone at this time. They could only fiercely glare at them, and then continue to lower their heads to look for the entrance.
At the same time, a figure wearing coarse cloth and hemp garments, looking like The Beggar, seemed to have perceived something.
He quickly walked onto the highest pile of rubble, overlooking the overall situation of the Wilderness, and a brilliant gleam silently flashed in his eyes!
"Taiji and Eight Trigrams, Yin and Yang convergence... So that's how it is."
He pretended to have discovered nothing, step by step silently walking towards a certain broken wall. Ultimately, a hidden entrance leading to the underground unfolded before his eyes...
Like an abyssal giant maw, mysterious and full of temptation.
The Beggar grinned. After looking around to confirm no one had discovered him, he rapidly rushed into the passage!
The instant one of his feet stepped into the passage, a red firework shot up into the sky amidst a piercing buzz. At the same time, a referee's voice calmly echoed across the entire Wilderness!
"The entrance to the 'Dark Palace' has been discovered. The struggle for the [Privilege] begins."
Crack—!!
The red firework bloomed in the air, directly above the entrance. The Beggar had thought that finding the Dark Palace would trigger an Anomaly, but he didn't expect the battle array to be so huge. It was like a "world shout" facing the Old District, deeply afraid that others wouldn't know!
At this moment, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of The Beggar!
"The entrance is there!!"
"Quick!! We can't let him get the First to Arrive, First to Benefit advantage!!"
"Starting now! It truly is By One's Own Merit!"
"..."
Successive Fifth-Tier Auras erupted. The crowd on the Wilderness scrambled to rush towards the passage, and the scene instantly became incomparably chaotic!
...
Several streets away from the entrance of the "Dark Palace".
Sun Bumian patted the dust off the ground and carefully sat down beside Jian Changsheng.
"... So, what kind of person is that Six of Hearts exactly?"
"Him ah..." Jian Changsheng pondered for a moment, counting on his fingers as he muttered, "Sinister, cunning, fickle, cruel, crazy, likes to deceive people, likes to play with other people's feelings, builds his own happiness on the suffering of others..."
"Wait! Is what you're talking about still a human? It's a devil, right?!"
"He is a devil!"
"..."
"Anyway, getting close to him will make you unfortunate." Jian Changsheng said with certainty.
"Then why are you still following him?"
"??? Who's following him?"
"Haven't you two always been together? You carried him on your back across the Gray World, and ate king crab together in the Tianshu Domain, and even teamed up to compete for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position]... Just now, what baby did he even call you... Oh, called you child, he even praised you."
Jian Changsheng: ????????
Jian Changsheng choked on a breath in his chest, almost dying suddenly on the spot.
"So I say, you guys have a pretty good relationship."
"Slander! This is slander! The Hearts and I are absolutely irreconcilable!"
"..."
"... No, say something! Give some reaction!! Don't wear a 'I'll believe whatever you say' expression!! I really have a grudge against him!"
"Ten minutes ago, you also said you and I wouldn't rest until one of us died... but aren't we still sitting down and chatting now?" Sun Bumian spread his hands.
"That's not the same!!" Jian Changsheng gritted his teeth.
"You are just like the Hearts, neither of you is a good thing... Once I recover, I will definitely settle the accounts clearly!!"
"Alright, alright, whatever you say goes."
Sun Bumian was too lazy to pester him. Just as he was about to get up, a red firework rose into the sky in the distance, blooming roaringly amidst a loud noise!
The two were simultaneously stunned.
"That is..."
"The 'Dark Palace' has appeared??"
"It's not far from us! We should be able to make it!" Jian Changsheng's eyes lit up. Without caring whether he had recovered or not, he sat up with a swoosh.
"That referee who came in said that getting the [Privilege] can grant a tremendous advantage... This time, I am bound to get it!"
