"I refuse!" Guhan immediately said after understanding the rules of the Goat's Light Palace.
What kind of joke was this? Guhan could already imagine the weight on him being dragged down by the Scarlet Sword Immortal. If that was the case, how was he supposed to play?
Moreover, even if he didn't consider the problem of strength, Guhan's way of solving problems was to solve them by himself. He would never involve a second person.
This wasn't because Guhan was kind-hearted and didn't want to cause trouble for others. It was because once someone else joined in, there would be a lot of variables, and things would often get out of Guhan's control.
In real life, everyone must have encountered this kind of situation many times. There were some things that could have been solved by one person, but someone else just had to interfere.
And the person who interfered would often make simple things complicated, and in the end, everything would be messed up.
"Why?" Scarlet Sword was a little anxious. "It's clearly easier to take the two-person route!
The one-person route is more than five or six times more difficult than the two-person route … Most importantly, didn't you say you can't fly? "
"I lied to you, I can actually fly!"
Guhan waved his hand, and the Qi Sword appeared in Guhan's hand. He then pulled Guhan into the air.
"…" Scarlet Sword's face instantly turned pale. If he insisted on taking the one-person route, then she could only stay at the entrance of the Goat's Light Palace and wait for the next sword wielder to appear … Only the heavens knew how long that would take. Perhaps she would have to wait for a month, or even wait until the Twelve Skyscraping Palaces completely disappeared before a second sword wielder would appear.
Scarlet Sword really wanted to ask Guhan to stay, but she remembered that she didn't wait for Guhan at the entrance of the Lamia Palace, and instead directly entered the Miluo Palace.
More importantly, she clearly knew the correct way to clear Ma Lugong, but she did not tell Gu Han about it. Now that Yan Hong was asking Gu Han to stay and help her, Yan Hong felt her face burning. She was so embarrassed that her face was burning.
Guhan did not care about what Captivating Red was thinking. He headed straight for the single-person passage. However, when Guhan approached the entrance, a screen suddenly appeared in front of Guhan. There was a large red cross on the screen, and below the red cross was a line of small words. "A participant is currently undergoing a test in this passage. Please queue up and enter after the participant has succeeded or failed."
"Eh!
There's actually someone ahead of us? "Guhan said thoughtfully as he looked at the deep single-person tunnel.
"It's the Cardinal Sword Spirit. When I arrived, I saw the Cardinal Sword Spirit enter this tunnel!" Captivating Red appeared behind Guhan and explained.
"So it's the Cardinal Sword Spirit. But only he can come here!"
Guhan nodded, then pointed at the single-person passage with his finger. "You came here first. When the Cardinal Sword Spirit leaves the tunnel, you can go in first. I won't fight you for it."
"What do you mean?
Are you mocking me? "
Captivating Red's eyes instantly turned bright red. Clearly, she felt extremely humiliated. "You know that I can't fly. There's no way I can enter this single-person passage. You think you're so great just because you can fly?"
Guhan did not reply. What Guhan said just now was indeed very annoying. It was indeed a bit too much.
The two of them instantly fell into silence. They did not say anything to each other. They just waited in silence.
Guhan was waiting for the Cardinal Sword Spirit to leave from the single-person passage. Sword Immortal Captivating Red herself did not know what she was waiting for … Was she waiting for the next sword wielder who was willing to enter the two-person passage with her, or was she waiting for Guhan to change his mind?
Captivating Red did not have to wait for long. After just a few minutes, the calm Guhan's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Captivating Red's hand and ran directly toward the entrance of the two-person passage.
"What are you doing?
Let go of me! "
Captivating Red struggled to break free from Guhan's grasp, but Guhan's hand was like a pair of iron pincers that firmly gripped her wrist. Captivating Red could not break free at all.
"Aren't you going to take the two-person passage?
We'll take the two-person passage now, "Guhan replied quickly.
"I don't want you to accompany me … Are you pitying me?"
Captivating Red became even more furious when she heard this. "Let go of me. I'd rather die here than take the two-person passage with you."
"It's not that I'm pitying you, it's you pitying me … I need your help now. Please help me pass through this two-person passage!"
The sudden softening of Captivating Red's anger instantly dissipated by more than half. In addition, she actually really wanted to pass through the two-person passage. Her refusal just now was just a pitiful bit of pride.
When Guhan took the initiative to soften his words, this bit of pride was pushed aside by Captivating Red's rationality. However, in the end, Captivating Red still added, "Our relationship ends here. After we pass through the Yang Guang Palace, we'll go our separate ways. Neither of us will trouble the other."
"…" Guhan did not bother to answer Captivating Red's words. Right now, Guhan was extremely anxious. This was because Tomono Kakaze suddenly told Guhan an extremely terrible piece of news. The Wu people in Shanhai Pass had suddenly made a huge move.
All of the Wu people's tribes were mobilized and began to gather outside the human's garrison area. It seemed like a huge battle was about to begin.
When he first heard this news, Guhan was very surprised.
This was because in Guhan's opinion, there might be some small conflicts between the Wu people and the humans, but there definitely would not be a huge battle. This was because the Wu people had used up most of their strength in the previous battle. It was impossible for them to have a large-scale battle with the humans again.
By now, it had been almost three months since Guhan arrived in Shanhai Pass. All the additional guardians had returned, and the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation had actually recovered to its strongest state.
However, in comparison, the Wu people had lost more than 70% of their population in the battle. Although this 70% of their population would slowly be revived through Zu Wu's blood essence, it would take time. According to previous estimates, this would take at least a year. In three months, the Wu people would at most recover about 20% of their population. With only half of their population in their peak state, where did the Wu people get the courage to fight against the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation?
Not only did the Wu people lose only half of their population, but the most important thing was the top combat power of the Wu people. Four Senior Magi had died in the hands of Liunian Ling. In addition to the three Senior Magi who had died in the hands of the human sword bearers in the previous battle, there were only five Senior Magi left in the Wu people at this time.
After the death of a Grand Wizard of the Sorcerer Tribe, unlike ordinary Sorcerer Tribe members, who could fully recover within a year, these Grand Wizards needed a full three years to be resurrected from the blood essence of the Grand Wizard.
In Guhan's opinion, at this time, what the Wu people should do was to huddle together, build high walls, fight less, and try their best to recover their vitality. They should be thankful that the humans did not attack them. How could they have the courage to attack the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation, which had a solid defense?
In fact, in the first few months after the war, it was just as Guhan had guessed. The Wu people began to withdraw their strength with all their might. They huddled together for warmth and behaved like cowards.
Their attitude towards the humans was very negative. Even if the human spies came to the periphery of their tribe, as long as they did not threaten the tribe, the Wu people would not come out of the tribe to drive these humans away. Obviously, they were ready to be cowards to the end.
Therefore, Guhan could stay in the game and practice his swordsmanship leisurely for three months.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, there would be a war between humans and witches every one to two weeks, or even a few days. How could Guhan stay in the game for such a long time if he focused all his energy on the defense of the Guardian's Mansion?
But now, the Wu people seemed to have been struck by lightning. They actually began to gather their strength and prepared to attack the humans.
Did they really think that they could break through the humans' defense line with less than 30% of their current strength?
Analyzing the situation logically, Guhan should be happy about this news. The defeated enemies had sent all their strength to him, and the humans were able to use their superior strength to completely kill the Wu people, saving them the trouble of going on an expedition. This was something worth celebrating no matter how he looked at it.
However, Guhan was not happy at all. As the saying went, there must be a reason for something abnormal. Although most of the Wu people were guys with muscles for brains, it was undeniable that there were real wise people among the Wu people. This could be seen from the fact that they had arranged for the Wu people to pretend to be human swordsmen to cut off the reinforcements sent by the humans.
It was impossible for them not to know what was best for them, but they still attacked the humans under such circumstances. Obviously, there were two reasons.
Either these Wu people had received help from some unknown force, which made the Wu people feel that their overall strength had greatly surpassed that of the humans.
At the same time, they could make use of the humans' current arrogance that the Wu people's main strength had not recovered to launch an attack on the humans.
Or, the Wu people had discovered some fatal weakness that the humans themselves did not know, and with the help of this weakness, they could greatly weaken the humans' strength, so that the balance of the battle would be in the Wu people's favor again.
Moreover, Guhan suddenly remembered that the Great Shaman of the Wu people had completely disappeared for three months after Hou Yi used the Sunset Arrow. During these three months, there was no news of the Great Shaman of the Wu people.
These Great Shamans might be planning or preparing some kind of conspiracy, and now the conspiracy of these Great Shamans was obviously ready, and it was time to launch it.
Either way, in Guhan's eyes, it was an extremely dangerous signal. The crisis that the humans were facing in this battle was probably even more terrifying than the one three months ago.
Guhan felt that he could no longer stay in this instance dungeon. On a smaller scale, the Shih Sing Garrison, the frontline area of the battlefield against the Wu people, needed Guhan's strength to defend it.
On a larger scale, the entire Shanhai Pass needed Guhan, a stabilizing force that even the humans themselves did not know about.
Guhan did not know what kind of conspiracy the Wu people had, but Guhan knew that the humans were still hiding him, a huge killing machine. Therefore, Guhan had to immediately leave the Twelve Heavenly Palace instance dungeon.
Guhan had already made up his mind to pass through the Twelve Heavenly Palace instance dungeon as soon as possible … if he failed in any of the palaces, or if something major happened in the Shanhai Pass, Guhan would immediately commit suicide, using this last method to leave this inexplicable instance dungeon.
