Seeing that the magma fire dragon was about to land on Beatrice and melt her, Yu Huang and the others felt their hearts skip a beat. In the next second, the fire dragon suddenly shrank back and maintained a distance of more than two meters from Beatrice.
At the same time, Beatrice moved forward.
Seeing this, Yu Huang and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
“That was a close call.” Donor stroked his chin and said in a gratified tone, “From the looks of it, she passed this test.”
“I think so too.”
!!
However, the sky above the magma pool was filled with a thick black fog. Yu Huang and the others couldn’t see how wide the magma pool was at all. They didn’t know how many tests Beatrice had to go through before she could successfully reach the other side.
“I hope Beatrice can pass all the tests.” Once she failed the test, Beatrice would definitely die. That wasn’t the outcome Yu Huang and the others wanted to see.
“Beatrice is moving again!” Yu Huang saw Beatrice raise her left foot again and land on the left side without hesitation. Although Yu Huang couldn’t see the bridge under Beatrice, she knew that Beatrice had chosen the fork on her left.
“I wonder what test she will face in this round.”
“I hope she can pass all the tests.” Yu Huang and the others sat cross-legged on the shore while praying that Beatrice could successfully pass the tests and return with gains.
* *
Beatrice’s left foot had just landed on the left. She thought that she would be teleported to another space-time like last time. However, even after she waited quietly for a few seconds, there weren’t any changes.
Beatrice raised her eyebrows in confusion.
What was going on?
She lowered her head and looked at the narrow bridge in front of her and the magma pool outside the narrow bridge. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she suddenly heard a clicking sound behind her. That sound was like… the sound of a building instantly recombining.
Beatrice turned around in confusion and realized that the collapsed bridges behind her had all reassembled!
The end of the bridge led towards the shore where Yu Huang and the others were.
Beatrice’s eyes widened.
The bridge had actually reassembled?
What kind of test was this?
Could it be that the ancient merman wanted to test her determination by giving her a path that allowed her to return to shore?
At this moment, Beatrice suddenly heard Yu Huang shouting, “Beatrice, why are you turning back again? Didn’t I say that you have to move forward firmly?”
As Beatrice looked at Yu Huang and the others on the shore, she didn’t know how to explain.
She raised her right foot tentatively and carefully extended it towards the bridge in front of her. When her feet landed firmly on the bridge and she didn’t fall, Beatrice finally believed that the bridge was real.
She turned to look behind her again and stared at the winding bridge behind her. Then, she turned around and stared at the bridge that led back to the shore. The road ahead was filled with danger, and the way back to safety was right under her feet. How should she choose?
Beatrice wavered.
The previous test had already made her feel afraid. She didn’t know what kind of difficult test she would face next, nor was she sure that she could successfully reach the shore. If she moved forward, she might die. At this moment, if she returned to the shore, she still had hope of survival.
Beatrice stared at the bridge back to shore and clenched her fists.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao suddenly shouted at her, “Be careful. Don’t go back. It’s a trap!”
Beatrice immediately came to a realization.
That’s right, going back was a sign that she was wavering. Who could guarantee that this path was safe?
Perhaps, as she was walking on it, the bridge would suddenly break again.
After Beatrice understood this, she gritted her teeth and turned around resolutely to continue walking towards the unknown fork. However, just as she crossed the narrow bridge on the left, she suddenly heard a fierce roar behind her. Sheng Xiao shouted, “Attention, something is attacking the barrier!”
Hearing this, Beatrice turned around in shock and saw countless sea beasts attacking the barrier of the ancient merman’s tomb.
From the looks of it, because Kunlun had discovered the true location of the ancient merman’s graveyard and was discovered by the sea beasts, the sea beasts joined forces to attack them. The leading demon beast was the male fish that had defeated all of them not long ago.
Winged fish were amphibious creatures. They could survive in the water and on land.
The strength of the male Winged Fish was powerful to begin with, and the sea beasts he summoned were all mighty and domineering sea overlords. With so many sea beasts gathered together, no matter how sturdy the cemetery’s barrier was, it would shatter.
Just as this thought flashed across Beatrice’s mind, she heard a crack.
Yu Huang shouted hoarsely, “The barrier is about to break!”
Beatrice looked up at the sky and saw a crack in the translucent barrier, like a car’s window glass. Once the corner was shattered by someone with a hammer, it would quickly shatter completely.
Swish!
“Roar!”
Countless sea beasts lined up and launched demonic power attacks at the shattered hole. Soon, dense cracks like spiderwebs appeared on the barrier. Then, the energy shield exploded with a bang, and seawater immediately poured into the ancient tomb.
At that moment, the male Winged Fish entered the ancient tomb along with the seawater. Seeming to recognize Sheng Xiao and the others, it suddenly opened its mouth and gave them an eerie smile. Then, the male Winged Fish suddenly opened its huge mouth and spat a few things at them.
They were three people!
They were Xiao Shu, Yin Rong, and Feng Yuncheng.
After these three people were spat out, their bodies fell down stiffly without any reaction. From the looks of it, they had clearly died long ago!
When Beatrice saw the corpses of Feng Yuncheng and her companions, she immediately shouted in anguish, “No!”
Beatrice subconsciously wanted to step on the bridge to return to the shore.
But at this moment, the magma pool suddenly churned. Then, a merman formed from magma appeared on the bridge. The merman’s facial features looked extremely similar to those of the statue of the ancient merman in the cemetery square.
Beatrice looked at the magma merman in front of her in surprise and didn’t speak.
The merman spoke in human language. “Beatrice, after crossing this bridge, you will be able to obtain my inheritance. This bridge is called the Bridge to Life. There is only one path, and there is no turning back.” The merman stared at the bridge in front of Beatrice and said, “Once you step on the bridge back to the shore, you will never be able to obtain my inheritance.”
The merman pointed behind Beatrice again and said, “Look behind you.”
After Beatrice subconsciously turned around and looked back, she realized that the black smoke that had enveloped the magma pool had dissipated. After the smoke dissipated, Beatrice finally saw the true appearance of the fork bridge. The bridge that she thought would take a long time to cross was only left with one fork.
In other words, she only needed to pass the last round to successfully reach the other side and obtain the inheritance of the ancient merman.
