Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Bronze Gate (Tenth Update)

"What! That’s Father! It can’t be, Mother, how could Father be like this, could you have seen wrong?" The girl, still held in Shi Feng’s arms, said in an incredulous voice after hearing her mother’s words.

The girl simply couldn’t believe that her own father could have turned into such a humanoid monster. That was impossible!

"There’s no mistake! That’s your father’s voice, I couldn’t possibly have heard it wrong! Not only that!" The beautiful woman spoke, suddenly spreading open her palm, where a golden Jade Pendant was continuously inhaling and exhaling golden light, as if it were breathing.

"Boom!" The Long-haired Monster in mid-flight, its body flying backward, "Boom"ed as it crashed onto the ground, and at this moment, a shimmering golden light was also flashing around the heart of the Long-haired Monster.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!" The Full Moon Scimitar was still spiraling forward. Shi Feng, who had been preparing to propel the Full Moon Scimitar to deal with the dark-haired monster, halted the scimitar that had been spinning in front of the monster’s head the moment he heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, the grey-white Fiery Flames receded, and the curved tip of the Full Moon Scimitar pointed at the monster’s forehead.

"Is this the person you were looking for?" Shi Feng stared at the dark-haired monster ahead, his body swooping down to the ground, and his hands also released the delicate bodies of the mother and daughter.

"Chu Yue!"

"Father!"

Once freed, the two women, now certain of the identity of the humanoid dark-haired monster, immediately rushed towards it.

"Roar!" The fallen dark-haired monster suddenly raised its upper body and let out a beast-like roar towards what lay ahead.

Looking at the mother and daughter charging forward, emotionally out of control, Shi Feng instantly moved, reaching behind them faster than the two women could react, grabbing them, and shouted, "Don’t go over there, it’s dangerous! This person isn’t normal! He must have been affected by some mysterious power from the Death Forbidden Land, and has lost his reason!"

As soon as Shi Feng’s words fell, the black humanoid Long-haired Monster punched towards the Full Moon Scimitar in front of its brain with a "Ping" sound. The Full Moon Scimitar, having lost the power Shi Feng had poured into it, was immediately sent flying by the punch of the black humanoid monster.

Then, the dark-haired humanoid monster rose to its feet, and perhaps intimidated by the Full Moon Scimitar earlier, immediately turned and fled deep into the cave.

"Chu Yue!"

"Father!"

Watching the black-haired humanoid monster flee at high speed, the beautiful mother and daughter shouted anxiously, but the monster was swift and soon vanished from their line of sight.

"Chu Yue!"

"Father!"

Looking at the black-haired monster that had suddenly run away while they weren’t paying attention, Shi Feng released the mother and daughter, telling them, "The person you’re looking for is no longer the same! He must have been influenced by this Death Forbidden Land and lost his reason; he’s now just like a walking corpse."

"No! Chu Yue, how could this be! Why is this happening! Sob sob!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, the beautiful woman squatted down, hugged her knees, and wept like a child.

Even without Shi Feng saying so, when the beautiful woman calmed down after seeing the dark-haired monster, she had already guessed. She hadn’t expected that after traveling thousands of miles, leading her daughter into the Death Forbidden Land to find her husband, and narrowly escaping death several times, this would be the outcome.

"Mother, don’t be like this! There must be a way; there has to be a way to change Father back. We’ve nearly died several times, but we’re still alive and well now. What can’t we achieve? As long as we’re willing to work hard, we can definitely change Father back."

The girl, seeing her mother like this, showed a sorrowful and helpless expression on her face but also spoke to comfort her mother.

"Yes! Everything will be okay! Chu Yue will definitely be fine! As long as Chu Yue isn’t dead, as long as we think of a way, we can surely change Chu Yue back."

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, the beautiful woman suddenly raised her head, determination etching her features as she said,

"Then, let’s keep going!" Shi Feng spoke up to the mother and daughter, "Next time, I will help you catch that person, and then you can take him out of the Death Forbidden Land. Perhaps, once he’s out of the Death Forbidden Land, the effects it has had on him will disappear."

As Shi Feng spoke, he also started taking out pills from his storage ring—pills for restoring Primordial Power—and began to swallow them, using the pills to recover the energy expended in wielding the Full Moon Scimitar.

In a place like the Death Forbidden Land, one must always maintain their best fighting condition.

"Okay!" After listening to Shi Feng’s words, the mother and daughter both nodded firmly.

"Chu Yue will definitely be okay! He’s a genius!"

"Father will definitely be okay!"

After the tidal wave of emotions, the three of them resumed their journey, continuing deeper into the cave. This time, they walked a long distance through the cave without encountering any danger.

This cave seemed to have no end, and from the time they entered, they had been walking for about half a day and still had not found an exit or reached the end.

However, since the escape of the long-haired monster, they hadn’t met any more danger.

Shi Feng was now starting to doubt whether Yuel Wushuang really could be deeper within this cave. What worried Shi Feng the most was the dark purple Thunder Attribute torrent that had surged out when they had entered the valley. If Yuel Wushuang had been in that valley at that time and had been hit by that torrent, it would surely have been fatal.

After the three of them had walked a bit further inside the cave, suddenly, two tall, rust-pocked, seemingly ancient bronze gates appeared abruptly before them. The Bronze Gate was shut tight, blocking their way forward.

"Why is there a Bronze Gate here? Could father be behind it?" the beautiful girl said as she looked at the gate in front of them.

"Stay here and wait for me; I’ll go take a look," Shi Feng said, staring at the Bronze Gate, addressing the mother and daughter.

"Okay, be careful," the girl said to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng slowly walked towards the rust-marked Bronze Gate in front of him, constantly on guard for any sudden dangers. However, as he approached step by step, no danger presented itself.

But just as Shi Feng reached the center of the two gates, suddenly, a voice seemed to echo in his mind, elusive, intermittent, like a devil’s whisper: "Push it open!"

"Push it open!"

"Just push it open, and you can have what you desire! Push it open! Do it quickly!"

Upon hearing this voice, Shi Feng, as if bewitched, placed his hands on the two Bronze Gates.

"Ah!" Just at that moment, the girl behind Shi Feng suddenly let out a shriek of alarm!
