Chapter 1304: Untitled
Crossing his hands behind his back, the old man shook his head and mumbled to himself, “I thought I sensed someone behind the tree. I guess I’m not as sharp as I used to be…”
Feng Wu only let out a breath of relief once the old steward walked away.
She had been holding her breath for as long as five minutes, and was on the verge of passing out.
Once the old man was gone, Yuan, the teenager sitting in the tree, was the only person Feng Wu had to worry about.
Rubbing her chin, Feng Wu darted around.
“Roar -”
Just then, the tiger cub crawled out of Feng Wu’s sleeve and gestured with its front paws that it would lure the teenager away.
Feng Wu frowned. “But he’s really good.”
The cub was very stubborn and insisted that it could run very fast.
Feng Wu recalled how fast the cub had run when they were in Proud Snowfield. It might have very short legs, but that didn’t stop it from running very fast.
What was more…
After the amazing job Little Phoenix had done with refining the sand, the cub had to feel threatened.
“Are you sure?” Feng Wu asked again.
The cub waved its paw angrily, and the look on its face said, “Yes! I’m sure!”
“Alright.” Feng Wu rubbed its little head and said, “Remember to hide somewhere safe. I’ll go get you when I come back out.”
The cub nodded.
After that, Feng Wu picked up a stone and threw it in Yuan’s direction.
Thump!
“Who’s there?!” Yuan cried out and immediately jumped out of the tree.
The cub shook its little bottom at Yuan and smirked.
A smirk?
Yuan was shocked and irritated by the smirk on the cub’s face.
The cub threw another stone at the teenager.
“How dare you, you little cub! Stop right there!” Yuan ran after it.
Right at that moment, Feng Wu jumped into the inner courtyard like a flash of light.
Yuan tried to catch the cub and almost succeeded at first. However, the cub moved so swiftly and ran up a tree…
Feng Wu looked around the place after she jumped inside.
All the rooms around the courtyard were refinery rooms, but there was only one major one.
She would be in a lot of trouble if she walked into the wrong room and disturbed Master Rong Yang.
As Feng Wu walked in the dark, she quickly calculated the location of the formation core. Before long, she stopped in front of a well.
A well?
How could that be?
Feng Wu went over her calculations again, and this well was still the result she obtained.
She slowly breathed out.
Master Rong Yang was indeed a very wise man. No one else would have guessed that the real refinery room was in this well.
So, the real trick lay in this ancient-looking well with rippling water inside.
Feng Wu jumped in. As expected, instead of hitting the water, she landed on a protruding rock.
There were four buttons next to the rock, and each was marked with a direction.
Feng Wu’s eyes flickered.
She had to choose one button out of the four. The right one would take her inside, and the wrong one would definitely set off some kind of alarm.
This place was filled with traps.
One out of four…
Feng Wu quickly analyzed the layout inside the well, then smiled. As expected, the buttons changed as the formation changed.
