“Hey dude!”

Hunchback Tian threw a few glances into the underground lake and said, “If there indeed are rare treasures inside, we will divide it 80-20. I will take the 80 percent and you 20.”

“Go away!”

Lu Li stared at him. “Do you want to cast your Fate Wheel or not? Every attempt is three million Xuan Crystals. Ten attempts are 30 million. Are you sure that there are rare treasures inside? And if so, the treasures will worth 30 million? Either we split it half and half or you get away from the Blood Evil Island.”

As soon as Lu Li demonstrated his strength, Hunchback Tian was frightened. He dared not to say anything. Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Let us not waste time on these useless matter. We don’t even know what is down there yet. We will talk about it after our exploration.”

Hunchback Tian nodded. He lied face down on the entrance and tried to sense it with his eyes closed. Soon, he opened his eyes in surprise and said, “There are no powerful Xuan Beast in the lake? All of them were erupted just now?”

“Not a single one powerful Xuan Beast?” Lu Li asked with confusion. Hunchback Tian tried to sense it again, then he firmly said, “Not even one!”

“Go!”

Lu Li waved his hand. Hunchback Tian led the way, and Lu Li had the Green Dwarfs to follow Hunchback Tian while he stayed at the back.

After they got into the lake, Lu Li sensed it and realized there indeed was no powerful Xuan Beast. Hunchback Tian took the lead and swam towards the middle. The glowing spot was at the bottom of the lake.

The lake was not big, and the two and company soon reached the center. Hunchback Tian tried to sense it again. After he made sure that there was no powerful Xuan Beast, he said, “Island Owner, how about I go down there and investigate?”

“Go ahead.”

Lu Li was not afraid that Hunchback Tian would take all the treasure by himself. If he really did that, Lu Li would have him leave the Blood Evil Island. With the shield that was Ming Yu, Hunchback Tian didn’t have the courage to act rashly.

Hunchback Tian dived into the lake and swam towards the bottom. Lu Li could see Hunchback Tian getting closer to the glowing spot through the somewhat clean water.

The underground lake was not deep, perhaps of only more than 10,000 feet. Hunchback Tian was fast; he came back up in the time for once incense stick to burn.

As soon as he came back, he took a few deep breaths and disappointedly said, “Not treasure. Just a stone that can glow. The stone is too big. I cannot move it. There is no fluctuation on the stone. It is not a treasure.”

“Oh?”

Lu Li blinked his eyes. He thought about it and said, “How to hold breath underwater? I will go and take a look.”

“Dumb!”

Hunchback Tian squinted at Lu Li and explained to him, “You can mobilize your Xuan Energy underwater. You can easily hold your breath that way, for the time for several incense sticks to burn.”

“Go.”

Lu Li held his breaths by using his Xuan Energy and swam towards the bottom. Hunchback Tian was accompanying him, so did the Green Dwarfs. Even though the Green Dwarfs did not use Xuan Energy, they didn’t feel anything in the water. They could manage easily.

It took Lu Li the time for just half an incense stick to burn to swim across the 10,000 feet and reach the bottom. Hunchback Tian was not lying. Down below was a huge white stone. The stone had a radius of more than 100 feet, and more than half of it was buried underneath the sediment of the lake. Apart from the glow, nothing strange could be seen about it.

Lu Li considered it. He struck his Mighty Heaven Halberd into the sediments nearby the stone. The Mighty Heaven Halberd got in easily. Lu Li lifted up the sediments and tried to see how deep the stone was buried.

However…

He dug downward for more than five feet and the stone was still buried. Then Lu Li carried the Mighty Heaven Halberd on his back and winked at Hunchback Tian. They each grabbed onto a corner of the stone and attempted to pull the stone out forcefully.

Motionless!

Lu Li was of enormous strength. It was even more so for Hunchback Tian. Still, they couldn’t move the stone for a single bit. They looked at each other, speechless. If they could not move the stone, no matter how many men they got down here, it would be useless.

Lu Li swam around the stone in disappointment. They had rejoiced too soon. Lu Li thought of something and unsheathed his Mighty Heaven Halberd. He cut forcefully at the stone, wanting to see if he could cut a piece out so he could bring it back to find out which kind of mineral that was.

“Buzzing!”

When the Mighty Heaven Halberd touched the white stone, it suddenly gave out such a glaring light that Lu Li and Hunchback Tian was blinded.

The Green Dwarfs had been following them. Their eyes were also hurt by the glare, and all of a sudden, they couldn’t see anything.

“Um…”

Hunchback Tian’s heart skipped a beat. He could feel there was strong fluctuation coming from the stone, fluctuation of an Inhibition Formation. Out of instinct, he felt danger. He tried to reach out to grab Lu Li and run away with him, however, a strange surge of power was emitted from the stone. At that moment, Hunchback Tian felt the Heaven and Earth were suppressed. He could not even move a figure, let alone his body.

“No!”

Lu Li also realized he could not move, causing his heart to skip a beat. Secretly, he felt remorse from his rash behavior. He had activated such a strong Inhibition Formation, and it was possible that he and Hunchback Tian together with the eight Green Dwarfs would be smashed to pieces.

Even though Green Dwarfs could not see anything now, terror and confusion still clouded their eyes. The fluctuation of the Inhibition Formation from inside the stone was so powerful that they could feel the fear out of instinct.

“Is this Inhibition Formation formed naturally or someone built it?”

Hunchback Tian thought of something. If someone had built it, they still had a chance to live. If, however, it was naturally formed, then they were totally screwed.

“No, it’s a Teleportation Inhibition Formation!”

The mysterious power enveloping them suddenly became stronger. Hunchback Tian could clearly feel the strength pulling them into the stone, and he secretly complained about the suffering. The Teleportation Inhibition Formation was horrible. If by any chance they were teleported to a small world, they might never come back.

“Buzzing…”

The light became stronger. Eventually, it devoured every one. Lu Li, Hunchback Tian and the eight Green Dwarfs vanished above the white stone.

The white light of the stone faded out, and eventually, it died out. The entire underground lake was eaten up by the darkness.

…

“Sh*t, sh*t~”

After god knew how long, Lu Li was awakened by a roar. He blinked his eyes and realized that they had come to a dense forest. Hunchback Tian was near him. He was just screaming and swearing.

“Eh? Where are we now?”

Lu Li looked around. Through the dense leaves, he saw two suns in the sky. He abruptly sat up, rubbed his eyes and said, “Am I dreaming? How come there are two suns in the sky?”

The eight Green Dwarfs woke up already. They looked around with their green eyes, feeling uneasy. Seeing that Lu Li woke up, Hunchback Tian turned back and shouted at Lu Li, “Punk, you have done me great wrongs, great wrongs. Why did you cut at that stone for no reason? Why!”

Lu Li secretly felt something was wrong. He once again looked around and said, “Hunchback Tian, what are you shouting for? Shouting solve the problem? Tell me first, where are we?”

“Where?”

Despair emerged in Hunchback Tian’s eyes. He shook his head and murmured, “Where else can be we? This clearly is a small word. A small world that is not discovered before, and we can’t leave this place based on our ability alone.”

“Small world?”

Lu Li was a bit lost in thoughts. He didn’t know much about small worlds. All that he knew was that the world outside had many cracks in the space in which bizarre small worlds were hidden.

Some small worlds were formed naturally, and some were refined by powerhouses which were called secret regions.

Since Hunchback Tian called the place a small world, it could be formed naturally. Passages connecting to three small worlds were discovered at the Thousand-island Lake. The Green Dwarf slaves by Lu Li’s side were snatched from one of them.

By chance, they found an entrance to a small world and were teleported inside after Lu Li randomly swung his halberd…

Lu Li thought about it and asked with confusion, “Hunchback Tian, aren’t three small worlds discovered at the Thousand-island Lake? These Green Dwarfs were taken from a small world. Since other forces can go in and leave a small world at will, we must be able to go out if we are careful enough?”

“What do you know!”

Hunchback Tian furiously said, “After those small worlds were discovered, it was Old Man of Heaven Prison that personally brought powerful warriors with him to kill all the powerful indigenous residents in them. Only in this way is the Bai Family able to come and go as they wish. The Xuan Qi between heaven and earth in this small world is twice as profound compared to our world outside. The number of powerful indigenous residents must be huge. We will be lucky enough to survive a few days in here, let alone go outside based on our capacities.”
