114 Danger

Badump! Badump! Badump!

Sun Zhou Yi's heartbeat rate increased abnormally since fifteen minutes ago. And now, he could even hear his own heartbeat as uneasy feeling filled his heart. It happened ten minutes after he and the team departed to take the detour route.

He tried to use Ki Comprehension to calm his wild heartbeat but to no avail. Then, he activated the Mystical Eyes as he kept checking the surroundings. But he found nothing at all.

No Little Dragon in the sky could be found and there was also no other Undying on the ground. But the restless feeling kept growing as he ventured deeper.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Xin Yue asked with a low voice as she noticed Sun Zhou Yi's strange action. The man she found always calm since they entered the dungeon now turned restless.

Sun Zhou Yi did not even give a glance at Bai Xin Yue and answered with uncertainty, "I don't know, but there's something strange here…"

His words trailed off with his gaze directed to the sky. His eyes were opened wide in shock and his breathing was hurried.

Bai Xin Yue followed Sun Zhou Yi's direction and saw there was a giant huge shadow beyond the gray sky. At this point, the team also found the existence beyond the sky as the huge shadow loomed over them.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

Not only Sun Zhou Yi, everyone on the team had their heartbeat increased to the highest at this sight. In the blink of an eye, the giant shadow descended and showed its gigantic size to the team.

The huge version of the little dragon was right above them. With its hollow eyes directed toward the team, the huge Little Dragon released out a blackish aura. The blackish aura swept the team and it caused them froze on the spot.

Right after the blackish aura swept the team, the gigantic Little Dragon spewed a giant, black fireball. With the effect of the blackish aura, no one on the team could move their bodies, let alone block or dodge the incoming giant fireball.

Despair and terror mixed in everyone's eyes, including the three Emperor Class Heroes.

'Am I going to die here? I haven't met with my prince again, I haven't confessed my feelings yet…' Kang Seo Yeon's thoughts ran wild.

'My little brother… My cute little sister…' various kinds of thoughts and regrets appeared in her mind. Kang Seo Yeon closed her eyes as a line of tears fell from her eyes.

Boom!

A gush of heat, an extreme heat hit her face as the sound of an explosion entered her ears. She opened her eyes and saw the giant fireball exploded before it could reach her. The black flame raged in the air, causing a spectacular scene.

The black flames raged less than a minute before it dispersed. Then, she saw the thing that blocked the giant fireball. Swords, there were many swords lined up in the air, forming a shield.

The sword was familiar to her, it was Sun Zhou Yi's Ki Sword. The swords lined up perfectly and formed a giant shield. But she could see the swords were unstable and sure enough, not long after the black flames dispersed, the Ki Swords also vanished.

Kang Seo Yeon acted as a scout, so her position was in the front. She looked back and saw Sun Zhou Yi who was in the center of the team fell with one of his knees.

"Fall back!" Kang Seo Yeon ordered her team to join with the rest of the team. At this time, restrain from the blackish aura already disappeared and they could move their body.

"Let's retreat, there's no way we can win again that monster!" As Kang Seo Yeon arrived, she heard a male voice suggested to retreat. Indeed, the best choice was to escape from the giant Little Dragon.

"Are you insane? Do you want to lure this giant to the gate and release it to the world?" Huo Liang Xun angry voice resounded right after the male voice.

"What then? Do you think we can win against this giant? This is suicide!" Another male voice mixed with anger, fear and anxious refuted Huo Liang Xun.

The former male voice belonged to Mushin Rashed while the latter belonged to Abdul Azam.

"We have Sun Zhou Yi. He can block the giant attack. Let him bring the rear and we retreat!" Abdul Azam added. Fear and terror filled his brain, turning his head muddled. He did not care about how the other heroes looked at him, he was desperate and he did not want to die in vain here.

Surprisingly, the other Gold Class Heroes nodded in agreement. Sacrifice one to save their lives. In such a desperate situation, they could only think like this.

Instead of feeling grateful as their lives being saved by Sun Zhou Yi earlier, they used the fact that Sun Zhou Yi could block the giant's attack to buy them time to retreat. In front of the death door, these people showed their true nature.

Hero? Who cared about that, it was just a profession. Even though they were expelled from the Hero League because of today's action, there was still Ranker Alliance. A true Hero only existed in a fantasy book.

Just as Huo Liang Xun wanted to scold these people, Wu Jiang Shan made a shocking statement, "It's a decent idea, but it will work only if the guy agrees. Sun Zhou Yi! Will you sacrifice yourself for us?"

Sun Zhou Yi did not give a response as he tried to stabilize his breath. He formed almost two hundred Ki Swords to block the fireball which was exceeding his capability. So far, he could only form fifty-one swords, but he forced himself to form more swords to block the fireball.

"We don't have much time, the giant seemed to be confused. Maybe it confused because the fireball did not kill us. Sun Zhou Yi! Let me ask you one more time, would you sacrifice yourself for the world?" Wu Jiang Shan changed his choice of words. He changed "Us" to "World".

"If you buy us time, we will not die in vain. We, the surviving heroes can contribute more to the World. If we manage to escape, then we will come and slay this giant with more Emperor Class Heroes. Your sacrifice will be remembered by the world!" Wu Jiang Shan added.

He did not bother to add pleasantries and told a "matter-factly" that if Sun Zhou Yi sacrificed himself, it was the same for saving the world from the giant. None of these people thought they could win against the giant Little Dragon after the blackish aura hit them.

It was a fearful ability and with that ability, this small team stood no chance against the giant Little Dragon. Everyone had the same thought.

"You…" Huo Liang Xun pointed his finger toward Wu Jiang Shan as he could not believe Wu Family's descendant would say this.

"Leave! I will buy time for you guys! I am the leader of this team and I am the one who is responsible for your lives!" Musashi Naizen who never spoke since the appearance of the giant Little Dragon suddenly made a shocking statement.

"Hehe, lucky right? You don't need to sacrifice yourself, but the world suffers a huge loss! An Emperor Class Hero has to die for you!" Wu Jiang Shan made a nasty remark directed toward Sun Zhou Yi who was still half-kneeling on the ground.

*** ***

Meanwhile, Heero was still oblivious about what his first disciple encountered in the second dungeon. Since the first day, Sun Zhou Yi did not call him again and he thought the expedition went smoothly.

Undying was a troublesome type of specter, but if one had a way to see the dark core, then Undying was easy to kill. As Sun Zhou Yi never called him again, he thought there was only a low-leveled Undying inside the dungeon. So he did not worry about his first disciple.

Currently, Heero was standing in front of the worth of three building plot land which was under construction. People wore a yellow shirt and a helmet roamed around, making a preparation.

"Boss Xing! Good afternoon,"

Heero looked to the voice and a middle-aged man with the same uniform as the workers walked toward him. This middle-aged man was Yao Yao's uncle, the person who in charge of Xing District's development.

Heero returned the greeting with a nod and looked back to the front, "How Long?"

"A month, the building will be done in a month. In a month, Xing Preschool's building will stand in this land! Trust me!" the middle-aged man hit his chest as he made a promise.

Yes, Heero was checking the progress of the preschool for his wife. After Han Ying learned that Heero wanted to build a preschool for her little sister, she made a move to persuade Hong Yu. She knew Hong Yu really well and she also knew her little sister's dream was to own a preschool.

Before, it was only a fantasy dream, but with Heero appearance in the sibling's life. The dream could come true. So Han Ying persuaded her little sister to accept Heero's proposal to build a preschool. Moreover, Heero was her little sister's husband, it was natural for a husband to fulfill his wife's dream.

Under Han Ying's persuasion, Hong Yu agreed and Heero immediately implemented the plan in his mind. First, he called Yao Yao's uncle to get the building done. Second, he would ask Hirata to get the permit. As for the last step, Hong Yu would work on it.

"Hmm, I trust you, Uncle Mu, ~" Heero tapped the middle-aged man's shoulder as his lips formed a slight smile.

After a short exchange between him and Uncle Mu, Heero went back to his territory. As Han Ying was still in her recovery, Miao Miao Noodles Shop was closed. Even so, Heero was not idle, he had to make the Little Tigress to stay in his district.

He knew the food would not be enough to make the Little Tigress willingly stayed in the district. The food was only the first step. After three days, he found the Little Tigress was no different than the other children.

The Little Tigress adored the heroes. She had three idols, first, it was her father, Guo Shan, Gold Class Hero - Rank 67. Second, the newly promoted Gold Class Hero - Rank 1, Sun Zhou Yi. Then, Bai Xin Yue, Gold Class Hero - Rank 2.

If the Little Tigress found out that her idol lived in this district…"Hehe, I wonder what kind of expression will she make?"

"The third step, I have to…" Heero could not finish his words as a female's voice called him.

"Boss Xing! Boss Xing!" from the shout, Heero could tell the girls seemed to be anxious. He looked to the voice, Bai Shuang'er rushed toward him with a panicked look.

This young lady was quite famous in the Xing District. It because she opened a luxurious shop that people in the outer region rarely stopped by.

"Boss Xing! Your Dis… Sun Zhou Yi! Sun Zhou Yi is in danger…" Bai Shuang'er explained what happened to Sun Zhou Yi with a rough breath.
