"Did I lose?"
Guhan, who had escaped from Iciz's bear butt by admitting defeat, looked helplessly at his empty palm. This feeling made Guhan very uncomfortable.
If he had lost due to a lack of skill after a big battle, then Guhan would have nothing to say.
However, this kind of loss due to the suppression of absolute strength made Guhan very unwilling.
"I don't need to be at the spiritual sword level. Even if I have the strength of a famous sword level, I can still fight with that stupid bear!" Guhan muttered to himself. The gap of two realms was really too big.
Even with Iciz's huge body size, her movement was still completely beyond Guhan's reaction time, so Guhan did not even have time to pull out the Sword Lady to fight. She directly controlled Guhan in her hands.
Suddenly, a voice came from Guhan's side, "Mr. Guhan, don't worry. After all, that stupid bear Iciz is the only one among the three of us who has recovered a bit of strength. You are only a treasured sword level sword wielder now, so it's very normal that you can't beat her."
Guhan looked down and saw a snow-white cat crouching beside Guhan.
Guhan could not feel a trace of power from this white cat. If it was not for the cat's ability to speak, Guhan would have thought it was just an ordinary white cat.
"You are Bastet?"
Guhan asked tentatively. Since Iciz had already appeared, it was also a matter of course that Bastet would appear here.
"Mr. Guhan can actually call out my name. It seems that Her Majesty's secret plan back then has already taken effect. Presumably, Mr. Guhan already knows that you have a deep connection with Her Majesty!"
This cat stretched out its hand … Don't misunderstand, it did not want to shake hands with Guhan, but wanted to lick the cute pink ball of flesh on its palm.
"Does this mean that you admit that the dungeon in the game is Yi Qing's backup plan?" Guhan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I guess so!"
Bastet nodded her cat head, white and fluffy, especially cute. "Her Majesty has really done a lot for Mr. Guhan, so I hope that Mr. Guhan can forgive Her Majesty."
"I don't think I've forgiven you.
I've always been blessed by His Majesty Shroud-Heaven, and I can't thank him enough. How could I possibly blame him, much less forgive him? "
Guhan was confused by Bast's words. What was the relationship between him and Zhe Tian Jiandi? Why would he want to forgive her?
Did she do something to let me down?
"You'll find out in the future, Mister Guhan. I just hope that when the time comes, Mister Guhan will remember what His Majesty Shroud-Heaven has done to you, and forgive Her Majesty. Don't let her suffer for the rest of her life."
Bastet said very sincerely. It was hard to imagine that this was the sinister and cunning Cat God Bastet from the temple. He now looked like a loyal dog covering the sky … Oh, no, calling him a loyal dog seemed to make the husky feel ashamed.
If the bear and the cat were still in this trial formation, then the husky was likely to be in this trial formation as well.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I know that His Majesty Shroud-Heaven has done for me, and I'll remember it.
I won't forget it for the rest of my life.
If His Majesty Shroud-Heaven does harm to me in the future, then I'll remember it, "Guhan replied seriously.
But if you looked closely at Guhan's words, you'd realize that Guhan hadn't promised anything.
It was just that he would remember the kindness they had shown him. Remembering the kindness they had shown him was one thing, but forgiving the other party was another. If the injury was too deep and fatal for Gu Han.
Then Guhan wouldn't be bound by it. He'd deal with it in his own way.
"Sigh, Your Majesty, this is all I can do for you!"
Bast, the cute white cat, sighed, then jumped onto Guhan's knee and laid on Guhan's leg. She squinted her eyes and said, "Since Mister Guhan is here, then you must have been stopped by that stupid bear, Isis, at the final gate."
"Yes, I'm no match for her!" Guhan admitted.
"Back then, Mister Gu Han single-handedly defeated us when we had just regained our bodies … I don't really care about that, but Iciz has never forgotten. She has always wanted to defeat Mister Gu Han, so she was willing to disobey King Shroud Heaven's order not to stop Mister Gu Han in order to avenge herself. I hope Mister Gu Han can understand her," Bast said slowly, as if Bast was pleading for Iciz's sake.
"I can understand her, but she can't understand me!"
Guhan shook his head. "I'm ready to give up. With Isis blocking the way, I can't go.
When I left, I heard that Yuzhang City's Yueyang Fortress had been destroyed by Yuan Kou. Yuzhang City might also be in danger. I can't waste any more time here. I need to return to Yuzhang City and contribute to the city that raised me.
When I return to the final gate and find my companions, I'll leave this formation. We'll meet again if fate wills it. "
"No … You can't go … Meow!!!"
Bast, who hadn't used a meow until now, suddenly let out a shrill cry. She jumped onto Guhan's neck and whispered into Guhan's ear, "Mister Guhan, you can't give up. What will we do if you give up?"
"What do you mean what will we do?
What does it have to do with you whether I leave or not? "
Guhan pulled Bast down from his neck. Bast's sharp claws were on his neck. Although Bast seemed to be unintentional, Guhan would never let his neck be exposed to a Yuan Kou who didn't even know if he was a friend or foe.
Although Bast acted like he was an old friend and didn't intend to hurt him, things like Yuan Kou, especially a sly Yuan Kou like Bast, made Guhan believe only one word of what it said.
"Of course it has something to do with me meow!"
Bast could only wave her snow-white claws randomly as Guhan grabbed her neck. "We've been trapped in this formation for 700 years. His Majesty Shroud Heaven promised us that when the time comes, Mister Guhan will come and take away the things that His Majesty left for Mister Guhan.
When the time is right, Mister Gu Han will come and take the things that His Majesty left for Mister Gu Han, and we will also be able to regain our freedom.
Mister Guhan, how can this have nothing to do with us? We've had enough of this! "
"So that's how it is!"
Guhan put Bast down. In fact, Guhan had already deduced this from his conversation with Iciz.
Iciz had also said the same thing. It seemed that Guhan had to take away the things inside before they could regain their freedom.
"Then let's wait for others to see it!
There are hundreds of sword bearers in this formation. They are the most outstanding sword bearers of our era. There must be someone among them who can defeat Iciz … Or just let Iciz let them in. You can still regain your freedom, "Guhan said deliberately.
"No, it's impossible for those people to do that. They can't free us!
Meow! "
Bast was very anxious. "Iciz has no right to open the back door for anyone other than Mister Guhan … Even if she doesn't resist and lets others in, they will not be able to enter the real final room. At most, they will be put into a fake room and get some trinkets left behind by His Majesty.
Only Mister Guhan can enter the real final room. No one else can even see the door. "
"That's amazing!
How does this formation know if Guhan has entered the final room?
Does it want to draw my blood and test my DNA when I reach the door of the final room? "Guhan asked curiously.
"That's not it …" Bast rubbed his head. "There is a whole set of identification systems here. His Majesty Shroud Heaven designed some special missions. These special missions can only be completed by you, Mister Guhan. The formation relies on these missions to determine your identity. Our existence is only to support the operation of the formation, but we can't be sure of anything in this formation.
Meow! "
"Special missions that only I can complete?"
Guhan could not help but recall the pile of hamburgers and hundreds of bottles of alcohol. He seemed to understand something.
"Although I really want to let you out, I have no choice!"
Guhan spread his hands. "Isis is blocking the door. As long as she doesn't give up on her hatred for me, I won't be able to pass her test.
Why don't you go talk to her and ask her to let me in? "
"It's useless. If we could talk to her, we would have!
Meow. "
Bast the white cat swung her tail weakly. "From the moment she lured the sword-bearers outside into this training formation, we tried to persuade her to give up on the idea of stopping you, Mister Guhan. But Isis's hatred for you is too deep. It has already surpassed her desire to leave this place and gain freedom. So, we couldn't persuade her at all.
Meow! "
"Then let's fight!"
Guhan gave Bast an idea. "Although you are good friends, when it comes to freedom, you can't care so much.
Anubis probably wants freedom too. You can work together to subdue Isis and trap her without harming her life. Wouldn't that be better? "
"Do you think we don't want to do that?
Meow. "
Bast swung her tail in front of Guhan. "The two of us are no match for Isis. Anubis was locked up by Isis because he lost in a fight.
If it wasn't for my nimble body that allowed me to escape, no one would be responsible for explaining everything to you now!
Meow. "
Bast licked her paw helplessly. Only then did Guhan realize that there was a scar on her paw that had not fully healed.
"So, everything depends on you. The treasures left behind by His Majesty Shroud the Heavens and our freedom are all in your hands, Your Majesty Guhan."
"… What did you just call me?"
"Mister Guhan … Dear Mister Guhan, everything is in your hands."
