As much as Lei Zhen wanted to say something more, he knew it would be a pointless conversation in the end.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Candice's miraculous wind communication had probably revealed everything. And something, Lei Zhen couldn't help but think that her skill are even more horrifying as he kept thinking further.
Compared to the prophet of the one in Yors Castle, Candice was like the walking queen of foresight, always knowing what would happen just because of the wind.
How did this game even allow such a broken NPC to ever exist?
That was something Lei Zhen could not comprehend.
"Anyway, all of you hop into the Magic Mantle. We are going to fly over the quicksand trap to find the exit." Lei Zhen instructed. He wasn't really going to be petty and try to get revenge.
The only time he was petty was that proclaimed knight that refused to tank for him when he was being chased by a horde of Goblin Mobs, Han Shoaxi.
And speaking of Han Shaoxi, Lei Zhen had forgotten about his fate ever since he sent him out to the frontline to force him to act his role properly.
After a few seconds though, Lei Zhen shrugged his shoulders and didn't bother to think about him anyway. He still got this Sahara Exodus hard-mode dungeon to clear. He didn't have time to be distracted by some unimportant stuff.
Sometime later, the rest of the women managed to hop into the Magic Mantle, which seemingly had a useful function to expand itself, allowing everyone to have plenty of space.
If it was other men that encountered such a situation, then Lei Zhen was 99 percent sure that they would pretend they can't enlarge the space and forcefully clamp everyone together.
That was the most perverted thing a man could come up with in such a situation.
"Wow, somehow this makes me feel like a princess," Jessica exclaimed in joy when she glanced at the quicksand trap beneath that seemed to be harmless now that she was above the sky.
"Sorry, but you're not a princess. If you are a princess, then you would have accidentally fallen down into the quicksand trap to create more obstacles for us." Lei Zhen said bluntly.
Fairytales and other fantasies were not something Lei Zhen believed in. If those fairytales are real, then he wouldn't have been in such a perilous situation in the real world.
"Tsk, you are no fun. I was merely succumbing to what would have been a great mood." Jessica clicked her tongue and said.
"Master isn't wrong though, Jessica. Only with dedication and hard work could one achieve the things they want. Being a princess isn't anything special since it's just a nameless status that people love to give out." Candice said calmly.
"Indeed, a princess is just a status, and only the person themselves could prove that they are worthy of such status." Lei Zhen's expression changed slightly when he said that. Naturally, a person came to his mind when he spoke of the princess, or should he say a queen now.
Shaking his head to brush off these distracting thoughts, Lei Zhen and the rest finally saw the exit path of this stage.
By the time they reached the exit path, Lei Zhen felt his heartache when the Magic Mantle started dissipating into thin air.
'This game is truly ruthless. Such a useful transportation tool, but can only be used in one stage.' Lei Zhen cried inwardly when his hard work of obtaining the Magic Mantle just disappeared like that without any sort of warning.
What was hard work and dedication again? They are all worthless when the game hates you.
"Don't feel bad, Zhen. The road ahead of us is still bright and we should continue forward," Jessica acted like the big woman as she consoled him.
"Hmm, I wonder who was bawling like a little girl when her pet in a dungeon disappeared that time." Bella suddenly said, and to everyone's surprise, Jessica's mature action was gone right away as tears began leaking from her eyes.
"Bella, how could you remind me of such a tragedy?" She cried aloud.
Seeing Jessica's grief expression, Lei Zhen sighed inwardly and wondered if she was really a mature woman and not some high school girl. She was simply an actress that loved to overreact at everything.
'What a drama queen indeed.' Lei Zhen thought to himself.
Before Jessica could really begin crying, Lei Zhen and the rest proceeded forward, not giving her a chance to act out of line.
"Anyway, after this stage, only one more stage is left." Lei Zhen said calmly.
He then turned toward his group before holding back his words.
Originally, he wanted to ask if they wish to rest again before going into fighting mode. But recalling how they were all just relaxing while he was solving a puzzle, it would be unnecessary for him to even ask.
The one that needed rest was him, but he didn't feel exhausted or anything.
Thus, he decided to just continue forward and see what type of monsters they are dealing with this time.
Sometime later, they arrived at a colosseum setting and the group began to glance around their surroundings.
It was the same as the Roman Gladiator fighting in the colosseum except that there were no audience in the seating area and no excitement.
"Is this an Arena fight?" Jessica murmured softly.
And she jokingly added, "If so, then shouldn't the cage in front of us open up and some frightening bull-like monsters would come out? And then we might have to use a red scarf or something to bait them?"
Despite her words being meant as a joke, a sudden loud announcement echoed out of nowhere.
"Welcome Challengers! May you be prepared to face your first opponent. An opponent that is penetrative, with the horns of a beastly manner. Allow me to introduce a bull feared by all, Bellsarus!"
The announcement may have come out of nowhere, but Jessica could feel six piercing eyes glaring at her.
"W-W-What? I didn't trigger anything." Jessica said nervously when she saw the three of them glaring at her with serious expressions.
