116: Chapter 116 Departure from the Abyss of Bones
Zhan Wuji pushed back his messy hair, revealing a pair of large, bell-like eyes. He looked at Tang Mo, his gaze bright and imposing.
"I've already heard from the Principal about your sister, Tang Yuyan, which is why I returned this time."
Tang Mo asked hurriedly: "So, you found my sister?"
Zhan Wuji nodded, but then shook his head.
"She entered the Bone Abyss, but I don't know her exact location."
As soon as Zhan Wuji spoke, many people present frowned.
This was because the Bone Abyss was ranked in the top three for difficulty among all the abysses controlled by Xiafu University.
The fierce beasts inside were not only high-level but also extremely powerful; generally, even the school's instructors dared not enter easily.
Regardless of the abyss, once you enter, you must rely on your own strength to fight your way back out; there are no abyss teleportation items that can be used.
This is why ordinary people do not enter abysses lightly.
Upon learning that Tang Yuyan had entered an abyss, Tang Mo became even more worried. He hurriedly asked Zhan Wuji: "Where is the Bone Abyss?"
Suddenly, everyone present looked at Tang Mo with astonishment.
"Kid Tang Mo, you aren't thinking of entering the Bone Abyss, are you?"
"You mustn't, you absolutely mustn't. The lowest-level fierce beasts in the Bone Abyss are level 120. Going there at your current level is no different from courting death."
Facing everyone's dissuasion, Tang Mo remained unmoved as he looked at Zhan Wuji.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Yao Kangbo hurriedly said: "Tang Mo, these deans are right. It is truly too dangerous for you to enter the Bone Abyss at your current level."
Tang Mo could not listen to any of it.
Yao Kangbo had no choice but to turn to Zhan Wuji and say: "Zhan Wuji, why don't you try to persuade him? Tang Mo is still young and has a lot of room to grow..."
Before Yao Kangbo could finish speaking, Zhan Wuji waved his hand to interrupt him: "Kid, you've heard what they said. Do you still want to continue to the Bone Abyss?"
Tang Mo nodded firmly.
"Hahahaha, good!"
"Tang Mo, I'll remember you. You're no coward; you have the qualifications to enter my War God Academy!"
Yao Kangbo was shocked. Zhan Wuji actually agreed to let Tang Mo enter the Bone Abyss? Was he crazy?
Even Long Junhao was taken aback: "Zhan Wuji, what are you saying? How is Tang Mo entering the abyss now any different from sending himself to his death? I won't allow it. This is simply too reckless!"
Zhan Wuji shook his head slightly and said: "He won't die. I will go with him."
The scene fell into silence once again.
Long Junhao frowned. He didn't oppose or agree, but he knew that no one could change a decision once Zhan Wuji had made it.
"Even if I die, I will bring him back."
Zhan Wuji said with a smile. Even his gruff voice softened, but within that softness was an undeniable firmness, just like the look in Tang Mo's eyes at that moment.
Long Junhao compromised: "He must return safely, and you, Zhan Wuji, are not allowed to die either!"
"Otherwise, neither of you is allowed to go."
Zhan Wuji laughed: "I'm afraid that pack of beasts doesn't have the strength to take my life."
After saying this, Zhan Wuji turned and left.
Tang Mo followed closely behind.
Qiao Jingshan and the others wanted to stop them, but were held back by Long Junhao.
"Let him be. Once he decides on something, not even a team of oxen could pull him back."
Everyone could only watch as the figures of Tang Mo and Zhan Wuji disappeared from sight.
Arriving at the War God Academy student dormitory, Zhan Wuji pointed to his residence and said to Tang Mo: "Go back and prepare first, then meet at my place later. Be sure to prepare plenty of food and water; I'm afraid we'll have to stay inside for a while."
However, after receiving the news that Tang Yuyan had entered the abyss, Tang Mo had been restless.
After all, no one knew how long Tang Yuyan had been missing, and whether she was still alive was a question.
Zhan Wuji seemed to see Tang Mo's worry and comforted him: "Don't worry, your sister should be fine. The students of my War God Academy aren't just a bunch of brutes; if they can't beat them, they'll hide."
"The students of War God Academy deal with fierce beasts all year round. They are already adept at how to avoid them, so there won't be any problems."
After speaking, Zhan Wuji paid no more attention to Tang Mo and walked straight into his residence.
Tang Mo also hurried into his dormitory, put everything he could use into his storage space, and then stood outside Zhan Wuji's door to wait for him.
Zhan Wuji soon came out of the house.
He tossed a pouch to Tang Mo: "Take this. Inside are high-level protective scrolls. Once activated, they can withstand a full-strength attack from a fierce beast under level 300."
"Once we enter the abyss, I might not be able to look after you, so you must pay more attention to your own safety. If you encounter danger, use this thing directly. In any case, there are plenty of these things in the abyss, and you can restock directly in the abyss after you finish using them."
Zhan Wuji said this while taking Tang Mo toward the outside of the school.
Walking straight northeast from the War God Academy, a huge stone gate appeared before Tang Mo's eyes.
This stone gate was the same as the main gate Tang Mo saw when he first arrived at school, both carved with a giant dragon.
Walking further ahead, Zhan Wuji reminded Tang Mo that they had left the school area and officially entered the area of the Endless Mountain Range.
And the Bone Abyss was located on the Bone Mountains, over a hundred kilometers away from Xiafu University.
To enter the Bone Abyss, one must pass through the hundred-kilometer mountain range.
The mountain range cannot be compared to the jungles outside the city.
The fierce beasts living in the mountain range are generally high-level beasts over level 100, and even beasts with awakened bloodlines are everywhere.
Just as he stepped out of the school area, Tang Mo cast a skill on Zhan Wuji: Extra Mark.
"Hmm?" Zhan Wuji keenly sensed that Tang Mo seemed to have cast some kind of skill on him.
"This is my skill. It can mark two people as teammates. That way, even in the real world, our skills won't harm each other."
Tang Mo explained to Zhan Wuji. Zhan Wuji was overjoyed upon hearing this; this was a rare Legendary skill.
He had only heard of similar skills. Even when using a special grade skill secret tome, the Legendary skills that appeared were all random. Only today did Zhan Wuji truly see such a skill for the first time.
With this skill, Zhan Wuji was even more confident about the upcoming abyss trip.
Before they had walked a few steps, a huge, snow-white deer with thorn-like spikes on its head suddenly appeared in front of Zhan Wuji.
Behind it, there were dozens of slightly smaller thorn deer following.
Zhan Wuji let out an angry shout and took out his two-handed battle axes from behind his back: "Good timing! Extreme Hunting Twin Dragon Break!!"
Roar!
Seeing Zhan Wuji swing his dual axes, two huge golden dragons spun and soared out. Wherever they passed, the vegetation snapped in response.
The group of level 90-plus thorn deer was immediately enveloped by the huge dragon shadows. Amidst the flashing light and shadows, the thorn deer herd was shredded, leaving death and injury everywhere.
