Urban Wolf King

Chapter 708: Pathfinding


When Wang Yan claimed to have found the door to the stone chamber so quickly, everyone was shocked, their mouths agape.

Just moments ago, over a dozen of them had searched for a long time without finding the door. How could Wang Yan have found it in such a short time?

Qin Xingyuan sneered and said, "Kid, you must be bluffing."

Wang Yan ignored Qin Xingyuan and instead focused on the stone wall in front of him, then turned to call Ouyang Feiting to his side.

"Brother Wang Yan," Ouyang Feiting approached Wang Yan.

Wang Yan said to Ouyang Feiting, "Feiting, can you locate the door?"

Ouyang Feiting examined the wall carefully and pointed to the stone wall in front of them, saying, "All the stone walls are blank, but this one has a pattern; this must be the door."

Upon hearing Ouyang Feiting's words, everyone looked towards the stone wall in front of Wang Yan.

Sure enough, they saw two patterns carved onto this stone wall.

Seeing this, Qin Xingyuan snorted coldly and said, "I saw it earlier, this is the door."

With that, Qin Xingyuan stepped past Wang Yan, walked up to the stone wall with the patterns, and forcefully tried to pull it open.

However, the stone wall did not budge.

Qin Xingyuan was stunned, quickly raised his hand, and pressed the two patterns. Since pulling didn't work earlier, these two patterns must be hidden mechanisms.

However, no matter how Qin Xingyuan pressed, the stone wall remained unmoved.

In anger, Qin Xingyuan raised his fist and slammed it against the stone wall.

With a "boom," Qin Xingyuan left yet another fist mark on the stone wall, but then saw that the stones on the ceiling of the chamber began to crack further, enlarging the original gaps, and more sand started to fall down.

Seeing this, Yan Shilin angrily exclaimed, "Qin Xingyuan, do you want us all to die here?"

The other Demon Cultivators also shouted, "Don't open it, the stone chamber will collapse."

"Stop it."

Qin Xingyuan himself was startled, quickly halted, and turned to glance at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan glanced coldly at Qin Xingyuan and said, "Get back."

Knowing he had erred, Qin Xingyuan quickly retreated behind Wang Yan after hearing his scolding.

But as he withdrew, he noticed the astonished expressions of the other Demon Cultivators around him, suddenly realizing that Wang Yan had actually swore at him, telling him to "get lost."

He was, after all, someone of the Demon Emperor's stature, yet he was publicly insulted by a mere mortal.

Qin Xingyuan's face changed instantly; he clenched his fist again, his eyes revealing murderous intent as he glared fiercely at Wang Yan's back.

Clenching his teeth, Qin Xingyuan thought angrily, "Just wait until the door opens, I'll make you suffer."

At that moment, Wang Yan pointed to the patterns on the stone wall and said to Ouyang Feiting, "Feiting, take a look at these two patterns."

Ouyang Feiting looked closely and saw the pattern on the left was of two trees, but the trunks of the two trees were intertwined.

The pattern on the right was of two birds flying in the sky, yet their wings were grown together.

Seeing these patterns, Ouyang Feiting questioned in confusion, "These two trees and birds are really strange."

Wang Yan nodded and said, "If I am not mistaken, these are the Siamese Bird and Siamese Tree."

Ouyang Feiting said, "Isn't it like the saying, 'In the sky, we wish to be Siamese Birds; on earth, we wish to be Siamese Trees'?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Precisely, the Siamese Bird and Siamese Tree."

Ouyang Feiting asked, "Why did they draw these two patterns here?"

Wang Yan explained, "If I'm not wrong, this door can only be opened by two people deeply in love, just like the Siamese Bird and Siamese Tree in the patterns. Feiting, let's try to open this door together."

Hearing Wang Yan compare the two of them to the Siamese Bird and Siamese Tree, Ouyang Feiting blushed, showing a hint of shyness, then nodded obediently and followed Wang Yan to the wall.

Wang Yan instructed, "Feiting, you hold onto the left side of the stone wall, and I'll hold the right; let's pull together."

Ouyang Feiting asked, "Don't we need to inject the Power of Demon Patterns?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "No need, just sincerity is enough. If we truly love each other, the door will surely open."

Ouyang Feiting nodded vigorously, earnestly responding, "Alright," then the two began pulling the stone wall backward simultaneously.

Strangely enough, the stone wall that Qin Xingyuan couldn't budge with all his strength earlier began to make a "creak" under the combined effort of Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting. Subsequently, the two sections of the stone wall parted, revealing a stone path.

Seeing the open stone door, Ouyang Feiting exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, that's great, Brother Wang Yan, we truly love each other; the door opened."

Wang Yan also smiled at Ouyang Feiting.

Upon seeing the stone door open, Yan Shilin and the others cheered, for it meant they wouldn't be trapped in the stone chamber any longer and could finally escape.

But at this moment, a flicker of murderous intent appeared in Qin Xingyuan's eyes as he thought: now that the door is open, there's no use for you anymore, I'll just kill you outright.

Thinking this, Qin Xingyuan pretended to walk towards the stone door, but secretly clenched his fist, waiting to punch Wang Yan to death once he reached the door.

As Qin Xingyuan moved towards the stone door, the other Demon Cultivators also hurried towards it, none noticing the murderous gleam in Qin Xingyuan's eyes.

However, Wang Yan saw Qin Xingyuan's murderous intent clearly and didn't want to confront Qin Xingyuan head-on yet, as he might still need him later.

So, when Qin Xingyuan was three steps away, Wang Yan's expression suddenly turned grave, and he said, "Nobody move."

Seeing Wang Yan's serious expression, everyone froze in fear.

After all, Wang Yan had grasped every situation earlier with such foresight, and unconsciously, everyone had come to trust his words deeply.

When Wang Yan told them to stop, they immediately did, even the murder-intent-filled Qin Xingyuan hesitated and looked at Wang Yan.

They saw Wang Yan turn and walk to the front of the stone door, resting his right hand on it, peering inside.

Inside the stone door was a green stone path, but it was extremely dark, only allowing visibility for a dozen meters; beyond that, it was pure darkness.

Wang Yan stared into the darkness, secretly channeling the Power of Demon Patterns into his eyes, yet even then, he couldn't discern what lay within the darkness.

Seeing Wang Yan's grave expression, everyone became tense, but none noticed the flicker from the Starlight Ring on Wang Yan's hand as he gripped the frame of the stone door. Suddenly, Fire-Eating Ants began to crawl out from the Starlight Ring, climbing down the door frame and heading into the darkness.
