Eyes are the windows to the soul; through them, one can see the emotions, wisdom, and even more of sentient beings.
But at this moment, Tang Haofei's eyes displayed none of the brilliance of wisdom, only the cruel brutality of beast-like instincts.
And beasts are never picky eaters...
He was unbearably hungry, greedily devouring flesh and blood until the guardian's remnants were completely wiped out. Finally, Tang Haofei stopped this barbaric act, lying on the ground of the treasure land, gasping for breath.
He closed his eyes, and his powerful digestive ability quickly melted the flesh in his stomach, transforming it into energy to replenish himself. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
...
When he opened his eyes again, he had no idea how much time had passed. Confused and chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind, various emotions reigniting, and the brilliance in his eyes slowly began to return, though still blurry.
Before long, Tang Haofei recalled the current key point.
"Right, the origin extraction device."
His low murmurs awakened memories. Tang Haofei kept mumbling the words "origin extraction device," unsteadily getting to his feet and feeling his way toward the exit of the treasure land not far away.
It wasn't until the dizziness of teleportation washed over him and the external light shone on his face that Tang Haofei shook his head vigorously, trying to recall more things he had forgotten. But then, a familiar yet strange voice rang in his ears.
"You’re back? You don’t look so good..."
...
After waiting for three hours and twenty-three minutes, Wen Yu finally saw Tang Haofei's appearance.
Looking at Tang Haofei, covered in blood, with torn clothes and a dazed expression, Wen Yu felt relieved that he didn’t have to face the eleventh level strongman, while also relieved that Tang Haofei was in poor condition.
According to the last favor Tang Yi had given, Wen Yu was destined to bear most of the pressure from Tang Haofei. However, if it could be avoided, Wen Yu truly didn’t want to engage in a confrontation with Tang Haofei— for him, it would definitely be a disaster...
So, your poor condition is the best scenario!
Tang Haofei’s eyes flickered, and the figure in front of him gradually became clearer.
"Ah... you are... Wen Yu..."
The figure in front matched his memories, and it took Tang Haofei a few seconds to recall the name of the person before him, followed by silence.
"What happened to you?"
Wen Yu noticed Tang Haofei’s poor state and gently inquired, but received only a shake of the head in response.
"Nothing, the origin extraction device..."
"Oh, that one."
Wen Yu smiled and waved his hand, then pointed toward the distant sky.
"Look over there, it’s already been resolved, by me, by you, by us."
Wen Yu had a beaming smile, while Tang Haofei stiffly shifted his gaze toward the horizon— the spatial crack from earlier had begun to heal, proving that the matter had come to an end.
"That’s good... that’s good..."
Tang Haofei dazedly nodded, mumbling indistinctly, when he felt a hand reaching out towards him, as if a brotherly embrace.
"You’ve worked hard."
Wen Yu’s voice rang in his ears, and then Tang Haofei extended his right hand, firmly grasping Wen Yu's outstretched wrist.
"I remember something, something called the Sleep Spell..."
...
Wen Yu's smile gradually faded as he looked at the wrist being held tightly and then at Tang Haofei’s bloodstained face, narrowing his eyes slowly.
"Yes, the Sleep Spell..."
Tang Haofei mumbled softly, as if recalling something, while Wen Yu was just about to exert himself to fulfill his previous promise when he realized the wrist he held was unmoving.
The power gap... was like the abyss!
"Master... that Sleep Spell... he has known about it for a long time..."
A hesitant voice came from his chest, startling Wen Yu.
And the nightmare clearly sensed that something was wrong this time, speaking rapidly.
"When I was dealing with Walter and Qin Tian, I saw their memories. The person they feared the most is this guy in front of us. Cough, actually, they had long been turned by Tang Haofei. You and that old man Lin Haifeng's plan, Tang Haofei knows it very well."
