Dashing Student-Chapter 1066: Perilous Underground Palace

The Moonfire Stone was embedded in the wall, emitting a faint glow that barely illuminated the situation in the underground palace. It seemed they were in a corridor.

The path ahead was pitch black and unclear, while behind them was a tightly sealed wall.

Chen Nan hurriedly ran over to check, only to find that there was no entry or exit around them; this was a dead end.

He wielded the Wind Roar Sword and slashed fiercely at the underground palace wall, but it only sparked a few embers, leaving barely a trace.

Evidently, the walls here were also constructed from very hard and precious materials.

Chen Nan’s heart immediately sank. With no exit and walls so solid, didn’t that mean they were trapped here?

Beside him, the Divine Calculator stood dumbfounded, as if his Dao Heart was shattered by Chu Jiaojiao’s betrayal, leaving him in a trance.

"She tricked me? How could she trick me? I saved her life!"

Chen Nan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Because you’re easy to fool, and strictly speaking, it was I who saved her life."

"Brother!"

The Divine Calculator cried and tugged at Chen Nan’s sleeve, "What should we do?"

"That damned woman should have been left to die at the hands of the assassin!"

Chen Nan looked towards the depths of the underground palace, but due to the dim environment, couldn’t see clearly. He comforted, "We need to figure out where this place is first."

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

The Divine Calculator nodded repeatedly, without any objections.

The two continued forward, and soon arrived at a larger space, where there was a stone platform not far ahead.

On the stone platform lay a pile of black sand particles, utterly dull with no reflection.

Yet at this moment, the Divine Calculator’s eyes lit up, staring at the pile of sand with uncontrollable excitement.

Because this pile of sand was truly Soul Destruction Sand!

Though it was a small heap, if taken outside, who knows how many people would be envious.

Chen Nan, however, hurried to check other areas, discovering the walls were sealed as well, with not even a door in sight, seemingly only accessible by Teleportation Array.

That woman, Chu Jiaojiao, had no simple purpose in bringing them here.

"I’ve struck gold, the Daoist has truly struck it rich this time!"

The Divine Calculator directly took out a cloth bag from his chest, ready to collect the Soul Destruction Sand.

"Daoist brother, don’t be in such a rush to collect. I have a feeling something’s off here. Why would they place Soul Destruction Sand here so openly? It must have a use!"

Chen Nan quickly advised, but the Divine Calculator wasn’t someone who heeds advice. He had already approached within ten feet of the stone platform.

At that moment, in a dark corner, two red lights suddenly lit up, drifting towards them.

Upon a closer look, it became clear that it wasn’t red lights, but rather a figure over three meters tall, looking like a small giant, with stiff movements and blood-red eyes... human-like!

Rather than human, it’s more accurate to say it was a corpse,.

"How could there possibly be someone here?"

Chen Nan instantly became alert, even slowly retreating.

He didn’t sense any presence from this ’person’, as if it were a dead body, yet visually indistinguishable from a living person.

The Divine Calculator didn’t notice the person behind him, salivating over the Soul Destruction Sand.

Suddenly, he felt a pat on his shoulder, still not bothering to turn his head for a look.

"Brother, stop teasing. I’ll give you half later!"

These words were empty, clearly just to brush off Chen Nan. Chen Nan was sure that outside, the Divine Calculator wouldn’t give him a single coin!

"Daoist brother..."

Chen Nan still called out, preventing the Divine Calculator from perishing here.

"Huh?"

The Divine Calculator was somewhat puzzled, hearing the voice from afar. Then who was behind him...?

He suddenly turned, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and then slowly raised his head, seeing that towering figure over three meters tall.

The blood-red eyes filled him with intense pressure.

Before the Divine Calculator could react, the small giant grabbed his shoulder and hurled him away, crashing heavily against the wall.

The small giant wielded great force, yet the wall remained unscathed, and the Divine Calculator was cushioned by his own body fat, suffering only minor injuries.

"How dare you throw the Daoist?"

Rubbing his aching parts, the Divine Calculator grimaced and stood up.

The next moment, the small giant suddenly appeared before him, its speed too fast to react, and its massive fist hammered onto his chest.

Crack!

The sound of breaking bones erupted, and the Divine Calculator was blasted against the wall by the punch, seemingly stuck to it, unable to fall down.

This punch nearly cost the Divine Calculator his life, and Chen Nan certainly couldn’t watch idly.

Whether it was because he needed the Divine Calculator to find the Mystic Yin True Water, or because they were trapped here together, bound by mutual risk, he had to intervene.

Just as the small giant raised its fist to smash the Divine Calculator’s head, Chen Nan used the Small Shifting Technique, instantly appearing in front of the small giant.

Seeing the fist coming at him, he quickly raised his arms to block in front.

With a muffled bang, the sound echoed within the underground palace, and Chen Nan felt a shocking power from his arms, sending him flying.

Fortunately, the Divine Calculator’s body fat cushioned the terrifying force for Chen Nan. Unfortunately for him, he nearly vomited blood from the collision, lying like a dead dog on the ground.

Chen Nan’s arms trembled slightly. But taking just one punch from the small giant had almost broken his arms. It was truly a monster.

Yet, the small giant had no presence, like a lifeless object, stirring much confusion.

Seeing that the small giant hadn’t given up its attack on them, Chen Nan bravely faced it head-on, shouting to the back, "Daoist brother, if you don’t want to die, get up and set up the array to help me!"

As his words fell, his body suddenly enlarged. The "Heavenly Fox Form" was executed, causing his power to rise dramatically.

Seeing the small giant’s fist coming at him, he also punched fiercely back.

Boom!

The sound was like an explosion, as their fists collided violently, stirring up a gale in the sealed underground palace.

The Divine Calculator knew there was no time for pretense, quickly scrambling off the ground and invoking the Six-sided Array Flag, channeling his mana, and placing them at six positions in the underground palace at once.

Instantly, array patterns surfaced rapidly on the ground, and a large array formed in the blink of an eye. Though simple, it was incredibly practical.

"Brother, the Daoist will trap this ghostly thing. You attack with full force!"

The Divine Calculator stood outside the array, forming sealing techniques with his hands, and pointed forcefully at the small giant.

Immediately, a terrifying gravitational force appeared from nowhere in the array, pressing directly onto the small giant.

The small giant, initially in a deadlock with Chen Nan, seemed suddenly burdened with a mountain, slowly bending down. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Even moving a little became extremely difficult.
