Chapter 1118: It’s Really Up Ahead

If he had not been somewhat capable, they would have died in the stomachs of the demonic beasts.

His clothes were in tatters, almost turning into mere strips of cloth. He placed his hands on his hips and complained to Zhao Xi.

“Demon Heart Island is a place for Demon Heart Hall disciples to train. How can there not be many demonic beasts?”

Zhao Xi made it sound like it was only natural. Would she have brought him along if coming to Demon Heart Island was so easy? She would have gotten rid of him long ago and come alone.

“Besides, Demon Heart Island hasn’t seen the light of day for 20 years. The demonic beasts on the island are, naturally, even more powerful. It’s already good enough that they didn’t eat us, don’t you think?”

Upon hearing that, the man glared at Zhao Xi.

Was this his fault? The demonic beasts on Demon Heart Island were so powerful. Why did she not remind him earlier so that he could be prepared in advance?

“You’d better tell me if there’s anything more ruthless coming up next. Otherwise, you’ll have to deal with it yourself,” he said angrily.

Did she think he had no temper? He needed to rest too. If he provoked her, he would abandon her and go to the Demon Destruction Valley alone.

She had better not think he would not do it alone!

Zhao Xi looked at the vortex nearby and said, “The Demon Heart Vortex is ahead. We should be safe for the time being after passing through it.”

The man was speechless.

The vortex was not nearby!

He had felt that the vortex was near him a few times before, as if he could almost touch it if he reached out his hand.

However, no matter how many times they tried, they could not reach the Demon Heart Vortex. There were only endless demonic beasts attacking them and treating them as food.

“Are you sure the Demon Heart Vortex is really up ahead?”

“I’m sure.” Zhao Xi nodded seriously.

However, she could at least boost the morale of the man in front of her with some absurdity. That would motivate him to kill demonic beasts faster, right?

“Let’s move forward quickly. We don’t want to be caught up by the people from Jun Lin Hall,” she reminded.

“Pft.” The man sneered.

He knew they had to move forward quickly, but he had to be able to walk quickly too!

Those demonic beasts pounced on them as if they had killed their parents. Walk quickly? Could he walk quickly?

“If you want to be quick, help me fight those demonic beasts together. Don’t just act like a boss and bark orders without doing anything. If it’s really as easy as you say, those demonic beasts must be made of tofu.”

Zhao Xi was speechless.

She had to conserve her energy! But, of course, she would not say that to the man directly.

She looked at the man and asked, “I have to save my demonic energy to open the Demon Destruction Valley. Unless you want to open it after we enter the Demon Heart Vortex?”

The man fell silent.

Forget it. He was not familiar with this place, so he could only follow Zhao Xi. If he had to kill demonic beasts, he would.

“Since you aren’t killing demonic beasts, then talk less. Just follow me.” “I’m not talking anymore. You hurry up,” Zhao Xi said.

With that, she followed the man towards the Demon Heart Vortex.

After some time, they dealt with many more demonic beasts. However, the Demon Heart Vortex remained unchanged—close but not too close, appearing as if right before their eyes, yet also seemingly on the distant horizon..
