Chapter 1326: Chapter 167: Beast Path, A Confession from My Aunt

Then, before Xu Shu could react, the passage quickly enlarged, directly clamping his legs and swallowing him whole.

Whoosh!

Xu Shu felt as if he had fallen into quicksand, completely bypassing the "slowly submerging" process, and disappeared instantly.

Immediately, the cave closed, emitting a rumbling sound like thunder.

Everything happened so suddenly that Huang Jun and the others were left dumbfounded, standing in place, looking at each other with faces full of confusion and shock.

"What... What happened?"

"Commander Xu, he, he was swallowed by the cave!"

"How is that possible!"

The transition from paradise to hell came too quickly and without warning, so the four were utterly shocked to the core.

At this moment, Huang Jun once again became the brains of the operation.

She thoughtfully touched her chin and said, "Wait a minute, don’t panic, I remember some rumors."

"What rumors?" Su Xiao, Chen Shiyun, and Yu Qiuling all looked at her.

"There seems to be a saying around here that if too many monsters are cleared in a short time, the radiation pollution on your body will accumulate deeper and deeper, and when it reaches a certain level, you’ll be captured by this cave passage, and then..."

"And then?"

"Then you’ll be thrown out of the valley, and if you try to approach again, the same thing will happen, until the incense burner ends, you won’t be able to enter the basin. It’s like this ’Endless Valley’ is alive, rejecting those inside who’ve taken too many monster lives..." Huang Jun said uncertainly.

"Something like this?" The other three women were hearing this for the first time, and their mouths dropped open in shock.

"I only heard a bit through the grapevine, but now it seems the rumors might not be baseless. Anyway, Commander Xu is likely to have been expelled to the outside of the basin, and we..."

She looked at the Erosion Crystals that had accumulated to thousands, a trace of reluctance in her eyes, and quickly said, "Let’s go find him outside!"

"Okay." The other three didn’t say much, nodding in agreement.

This valley cleared by Xu Shu would soon be overrun with more monsters. Without Xu Shu here, the four of them didn’t have the strength to linger, as getting caught by a large number of low-level monsters would spell disaster.

The four immediately determined a direction, moving cautiously outward.

...

At the same time.

On the edge of the basin, under a raised hill.

A passage, noticeably larger and redder than other caves, suddenly spurted, ejecting Xu Shu.

He landed on the spot, and upon seeing his location, looked towards the Tai Chu scroll in surprise.

He saw a line of small golden text:

[Quack! Those who do evil will meet their end! Your heart is too cunning, ambushing people at resurrection points, your sins are deep, this "Beast Island" can’t hold you, you’re simply the beast among beasts!]

[You were expelled, temporarily unable to enter, go wander elsewhere.]

"What the hell?"

Beast Island can’t hold a beast, are you serious?

Is this the true name of "Endless Valley"?

Xu Shu was taken aback for a moment.

What does it mean to be expelled and temporarily unable to enter?

He felt as if the Tai Chu scroll was taking the opportunity to mock him, and tried to charge into the basin a few more times in disbelief.

But strangely, whenever he got within ten meters, a cave passage would suddenly appear beneath his feet, swallowing him and transporting him to the basin’s edge, just ten steps away.

It acted like an allergic reaction; Xu Shu barely had time to dodge, but it seemed to cause him no harm.

Xu Shu shook his head, quickly accepting the reality that, as the Tai Chu scroll indicated, he was indeed rejected by this basin known as "Endless Valley," in truth "Beast Island," and couldn’t enter.

"Beast Island... um, could it be the Beast Path? One of the six paths of reincarnation, matching Ksitigarbha.

"Could this be another trace left by Ksitigarbha, similar to the previous ’Rebirth Scripture Wheel,’ a disaster with divine remnants having certain rules?"

Xu Shu racked his brains, thinking quickly and speculating.

However, the Tai Chu scroll didn’t provide further answers, and lacking experience, he had to let it go.

"Well, that’s it, a wasted effort!" Xu Shu sighed helplessly.

He had been busy clearing monsters, and most of the crystals were collected by the temporary helpers, with him only occasionally picking up less than thirty himself.

He had planned to distribute them when he was about to leave the ruins, confident that with his strength, no one would dare have second thoughts.

But he got blocked out by this bizarre "Beast Island," unable to enter.

Who could have predicted this?

"Oh well, it’s probably just about six thousand contributions, but I’ve hit the jackpot this time, plenty of money, no heartache!"

While Xu Shu’s heart was bleeding, his words were tough; he finally chose a way to ease his inner anger.

It was to continuously enter and exit the basin’s edge, experiencing the process of being transmitted in and out of the ’Beast Path.’

To his slight embarrassment, the time spent being transmitted and spat out by the passage was quite warm, soft, and comfortable?

So he went for it.

Xu Shu briskly ran a few steps inside, and a cave immediately appeared beneath his feet, opening a passage and sucking him in, all the way to the edge, then spitting him out.
