Chapter 2138
The Sacred Sons and Maidens of the Ten Sacred Lands walked across the plains with their followers.
Henry and his two helpers followed behind them.
According to the high-level officials of the academy, they would enter the Restricted Zones of the Abyss after walking through the plains. Their goal was to find the existence of the Metaphysics bloodline.
They called it the plains, but it was just a description of the landforms they could see.
If one looked down from the skies, one would discover that it was actually an enormous valley, with tall mountain ranges lining both sides. The valley stretched all the way forward, and at the very end of it was the Abyss of the Restricted Zones.
They all moved extremely quickly even if they consisted of a hundred people.
At that moment, it was not a sign of teamwork of the academy, but a competition among the Ten Sacred Lands.
The Holy Sons and Maidens took the lead, Qi emanating from all over their bodies. The students of the various Sacred Lands also activated their Qi and followed closely behind. In the blink of an eye, they had sped hundreds of meters forward.
Henry and his two helpers, with food supplies and pots on their backs, walked slowly behind them.
Henry could feel that the further he went forward, the more difficult it became, it was as if his whole body had gotten heavier.
"There is gravity here!" Henry immediately had the answer in his heart. Angell had once created the same kind of gravity room in the training room of Radiant Island. Henry had experienced that feeling before.
The two helpers were walking with extreme difficulty.
Just as the two helpers were about to be at their limits, the protective charms given by the Fourth Level Heavenly Way expert shone brightly, enveloping them in bright light. Under the cover of the light, they immediately regained their original mobility and were immune to the force of gravity. The amulet on Henry also began to take effect at the same time.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief. If he had not been given that amulet, he would not have been able to find an excuse to continue moving forward due to that mere force of gravity.
That force of gravity was horrific, not only did it make people feel as if they were moving around with weights attached, but even their bones and internal organs would be affected by the force of gravity, their hearts would slow down and their body functions would also be slowed down, which were all very dangerous.
They were still more than ten kilometres away from the Abyss of the Restricted Zones. It was not considered too far or too near. Henry and the two had to walk for more than two hours to walk ten kilometres. When they reached the entrance of the Abyss of the Restricted Zones, they saw the people from the Ten Sacred Lands all sitting around there, trying to take a break, each of them looked exhausted.
"Looks like the gravity of the surroundings must be crazy strong. Otherwise, these people wouldn't be looking like this after travelling for just ten kilometres." Henry analysed. He was still being enveloped in the light and was not affected by the force of the gravity.
"They're finally here!"
"Hurry up! We need something to eat!"
"I'm going to starve to death soon!"
Voices sounded one after another. The students had all been looking forward to the arrival of Henry and the two.
At their level, they were supposedly able to survive even if they did not eat, the absorption of Qi was enough for them to carry on.
However, since they had gotten used to eating, it was difficult for them to suddenly not be given anything to eat, it was similar to trying to make the smokers quit smoking. Moreover, the Qi could only keep them alive, and did not provide much in terms of nutrition. Most importantly, the Qi in that world was not very rich, and it was not enough to provide for them to survive without eating at all.
Plus, due to the gravity, everyone's craving for food was constantly increasing, causing all them to feel hungry very quickly.
"Quit dawdling, hurry up and cook us something!" Govind, the one who had a conflict with Henry earlier, ordered him immediately.
"Don't rush me. You are all practitioners and all run so much quicker than me." Henry retorted deliberately. He wanted to infuriate Govind in order to find himself a reason to leave the group.
"Who do you think you are, to have the audacity to speak to me like this?" Govind burst out furiously.
Govind did not say anything more earlier because the high official of the academy was there to stop him. Now that there were no high officials from the academy was not around, the Sacred Son was naturally unable to tolerate such a cook.
"What? Are you going to kill me?" Henry said as he puffed out his chest, and the light shield in front of him shook a little.
"I think you really do have a death wish!" Govind's eyes was instantly fierce. He stepped forward and shot a palm at Henry. The palm strike from Govind was fast and powerful in the eyes of others, but in Henry's eyes, it was as slow as a tortoise.
However, Henry still had to pretend to be frightened to death. He put his arms in front of him in effort to block the strike and closed his eyes tightly. Govind's palm strike was absolutely at the First Stage of the Heavenly Way, but it could not break the light barrier around Henry. On the contrary, the force from Govind's palm strike pushed himself back three steps.
"Ah! Murder! Murder!" Henry, who was not hurt at all, shouted loudly.
That action of Henry's caused Govind to boil.
"Look, you're not injured. Go cook something up quickly." Carson said.
"No." Henry shook his head like a rattle. "This man is selfish and heartless, and he even tried to hit me. If you want food, get him to make some, I'm not going to!"
"What did you say?!" Govind flew into a rage. He was a Sacred Son, yet that puny chef dared to tell him to cook!Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"I said I won't do it, unless you apologise to me!" Henry said as he crossed his arms.
Govind gritted his teeth. "You're just a lowly peasant. How dare you ask me to apologise to you!"
"Then let's starve." Henry replied indifferently and took a seat.
Govind was boiling with rage.
However, the protective barrier over Henry's body prevented him from
striking at him. If he struck at Henry
forcefully, it would only bring more harm to himself. The protective barrier possessed the ability to fight back.
Upon hearing that, Carson was speechless. He could only shake his head and sit by the side helplessly.
"Hahaha, this little chef is quite interesting." Leilani giggled. "Little chef, please make us some food, look at me, I'm starving. Could you bear to watch me lose my beautiful figure?"
Leilani said as she moved her torso seductively.
"No, if he doesn't apologise to me, I won't do it!" Henry still looked very persistent.
"Fine, wait until you die then!" Govind found an empty spot place and sat down.
As time went by, the sky gradually darkened.
Rumbles sounded from one stomach after another amidst the crowd. It was obvious that they were starving.
However, it still seemed that Henry
would not cook anything even if he was beaten to death. Leilani approached him, but her efforts were in vain, showing that seduction did not work on him. Moreover he had a heated conflict with Govind, showing that he was not afraid of the threat of force. It was very clear that he was determined and
fearless!
"Govind, you're the one who was wrong, maybe you should go apologise to him," said Thomas.
"Indeed, they are not practitioners,
so it is normal for them to be slower
than we are. To blame them for being unlike us is indeed a little too unfair, it doesn't seem like how a practitioner should act." The Sacred Son of the Runner Shrine also said, hinting at Govind.
