The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 910 - 1010: Free Fall

Seeing that Yu Yuju didn't refute his words, Ye Tianfan finally let out a breath of relief. He was really afraid Yu Yuju would feel all hope was gone and just go for a mutual destruction, charging ahead regardless of the consequences. If she really did that, it wouldn't be a "both fish and net perish" situation at all—it'd be the net torn while the fish still lives!The two of them continued to slowly retreat, but judging from the rhythm of the tremors, that shadow seemed to be waking up faster and faster. Right now Ye Tianfan wasn't sure if making any more noise here would directly awaken that shadow, so both he and Yu Yuju stuck close to the ground and carefully backed away.

Ye Tianfan looked around and found there were no other exits. It seemed they could only go back the way they had come. But on the way back, he didn't know if they would run into those light beams again. And from beginning to end, Ye Tianfan still hadn't figured out what exactly those beams were. Ever since he arrived here, those beams seemed to have hidden themselves. If, when they returned to the passage, those beams started attacking them again, that would be a real headache—because on one side they'd have to guard against that shadow appearing, and on the other, they'd have to fend off the beams' attacks.

If those beams were weak, Ye Tianfan and the others wouldn't care much. But those beams were truly powerful—just a few minutes of bombardment could drain ten percent of Ye Tianfan's Spiritual Power. If the shadow showed up right when his Spiritual Power was almost used up, he'd really have no solutions at all!

By this time, Ye Tianfan and Yu Yuju had already reached the cave entrance. Then Ye Tianfan realized the tremors no longer stopped; they continued without pause.

Ye Tianfan glanced at Yu Yuju and quietly confirmed, "That shadow's already fully awake. It should be in the process of getting up right now. We need to get out of here, fast!"

After he finished speaking, Ye Tianfan stepped onto his Flying Sword, raised his Defensive Magical Treasure around him, then turned the treasure's light to maximum to illuminate the path, and shot backward at high speed.

In no time, the group flew back to the fork in the tunnel, and Ye Tianfan didn't even bother to step off his Flying Sword, just flew straight toward the exit.

By the time Ye Tianfan and Yu Yuju flew to the exit, the tremors had already begun to weaken. The two of them subconsciously exchanged a look, then immediately accelerated, trying to burst out of the cave in one go. Because once the tremors stopped, it meant that figure had already climbed out of the Blood Pool. If they didn't leave now, they wouldn't be leaving at all!

"Bang!"

With a loud boom, Ye Tianfan was directly bounced back.

"Bang!"

Another loud boom followed—this time it was Yu Yuju who got bounced back.

Ye Tianfan climbed up from the ground in a rather sorry state, then stared dumbfounded at the cave entrance where a thin film covered in mysterious markings shimmered faintly. He instantly understood that the exit had been sealed!

Right after, Ye Tianfan felt the concentration of demonic miasma behind him rapidly increasing.

He knew that figure had already chased up to them. Ye Tianfan hurriedly slashed a Three-Style combo straight at the film, but the film completely blocked his attack, only flickering a few times!

"Damn, why is this thing so tough!" Ye Tianfan cursed angrily. He was truly anxious now—if they didn't break this film and get out of here, once that figure caught up, there would be no chance of survival at all. After all, they couldn't even break through that shadow's defense!

Ye Tianfan once again gathered a Four-Style combo and slashed at the film. The result was the same—the film flickered a few more times, then returned to its original state, and as if mocking Ye Tianfan, it flashed twice more after it recovered!

Feeling the miasma growing denser behind him, Ye Tianfan swore under his breath, then said to Yu Yuju, "Let's go, we'll take the path on the right. I don't know where it leads, but if we stay here we're dead for sure!"

With that, Ye Tianfan flew back toward the fork they had come from.

In a short while, he and Yu Yuju arrived back at the fork, and without caring what kind of traps might be waiting down that branch, they headed straight into the right-hand passage.

It wasn't that they were being careless—at this moment they simply had no time left. So instead of inching forward cautiously, they just kept their Defensive Magical Treasures up and charged through.

Before long, Ye Tianfan and Yu Yuju reached the abyss entrance Yu Yuju had mentioned earlier. Ahead of them was pitch-black darkness; even with their treasures' light turned to maximum, they still couldn't see the bottom.

"Senior Brother Tianfan, what do we do? Ahead is a bottomless abyss!" Yu Yuju said.

Ye Tianfan replied, "There's no other way. Either we stay here and wait to die, or we jump into the abyss and hide for a while, then find a chance to leave—or maybe find an exit from within the abyss. Those are our options!"

Hearing this, Yu Yuju bit her lip. There was nothing else she could do but jump.

So Yu Yuju took the lead and rushed in, then let out a miserable scream as she plunged downward.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan instantly had a head full of black lines. What the hell, afraid of the dark or something? She didn't even wait for him. Shaking his head, Ye Tianfan also rushed forward.

Then Ye Tianfan echoed Yu Yuju's scream as he too plunged downward.

At that moment, Ye Tianfan finally understood why Yu Yuju had screamed and fallen straight down.

The reason was that the moment he passed through the abyss entrance, he felt all the Spiritual Power in his body being sealed. He couldn't circulate even a single drop. And what happens if you're mid-flight and your Spiritual Power suddenly can't be used? The answer: you go into a straight vertical drop!

The abyss was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and with his Spiritual Power sealed, the Xuanhuang Pagoda also retreated back into Ye Tianfan's body. So he had no idea where Yu Yuju had fallen to. She'd jumped earlier than he had, and her scream had cut off abruptly halfway down.

But Ye Tianfan knew that didn't mean Yu Yuju had fallen to her death or anything like that; it was because sound was being blocked.

He kept screaming as he fell, just to let Yu Yuju know he was right behind her. But a few seconds after her scream cut off, Ye Tianfan realized he couldn't hear his own screaming anymore either. That's when he knew this was a forbidden zone for sound; even sound couldn't travel here!

"Damn, what the hell is this place? Are we just going to keep dropping like this until we die?" Ye Tianfan thought to himself. He did a rough calculation—by now he'd been falling for more than half an hour. According to the formula for gravitational acceleration, half an hour of free fall meant he'd already dropped over ten million meters—about half the height of Blue Star itself!
