Heavenly-Horse had been holding Earth-Horse’s hand while performing high-speed “Leaps” through the corridor for quite a while now.

They had entered and exited many rooms one after another but still hadn’t found any trace of Heavenly-Tiger. Even though she was concerned about Heavenly-Tiger in her heart, Heavenly-Horse had already sensed something was amiss.

After entering yet another empty room, Heavenly-Horse finally lost her patience. She slowly released Earth-Horse’s hand, stood in place, and asked with a face full of suspicion:

“Still haven’t found my precious great-grandson?”

“No…” Earth-Horse helplessly shook her head. “I remember it was clearly in one of these rooms… How come I can’t see anyone now?”

“This is already a ‘Human-level’ room.” Heavenly-Horse swept her gaze across this cramped, narrow room. “How could my precious great-grandson possibly appear here…?”

“Oh…?” After hearing this, Earth-Horse chuckled softly, then locked the door. “So this is a ‘Human-level’ room? No wonder it’s so small. With two people standing in here, there’s not even room to move…”

Heavenly-Horse put her hands behind her back, looking at the strange “Zodiac” before her and furrowing her brow: “You youngster are acting strange… Do you have some plan?”

“Oh, yes.” Earth-Horse nodded, with wounds all over her body, and slowly took a step forward. “I have some secrets I want to tell you privately. It wouldn’t be convenient with outsiders around.”

“Secrets?”

“About you and Heavenly-Tiger. Someone wants both your lives.” Earth-Horse said with a serious expression. “If we wait any longer, it’ll be too late.”

“What…?” Heavenly-Horse was stunned. “Who wants our lives? My precious grandson just learned how to walk… Have these people gone completely mad? They won’t even spare the elderly and children?”

“Let me tell you.” Earth-Horse took another step forward and gently wrapped her arm around Heavenly-Horse’s. “That person who’s gone completely mad… is me.”

Heavenly-Horse’s eyes widened slightly. The next second, a tremendous sound suddenly erupted within the room. Although Heavenly-Horse had already begun guarding against this strange young person, she never expected her offensive could be so terrifying.

The surrounding walls developed numerous cracks under this massive explosion. Both of them flew backward and crashed into the walls behind them.

At this moment, two limbs also flew through the room, sprinkling a large amount of fresh blood in the air.

Both of them finally felt the pain and screamed simultaneously. But the room was really too cramped. There was simply no way to avoid the massive impact. After the shockwave hit the walls, it rebounded back, knocking both people to the ground.

When the dust settled, Heavenly-Horse slowly raised her head and looked toward the two limbs that had fallen in the center of the room. They were unmistakably an arm and a leg.

She gritted her teeth and felt her lower body, discovering that one of her legs had actually been torn off. A large amount of fresh blood began surging across the floor. The Earth-Horse opposite her wasn’t any better off. One of her hands had completely shattered, and the other was severed from the shoulder. Now she was just leaning against the wall, her status unknown—dead or alive.

Heavenly-Horse felt that the power of this attack was even greater than an ordinary bomb. Even “Deflagration” couldn’t make two people with enhanced bodies lose their limbs in an instant.

“You…” Heavenly-Horse propped herself against the ground, gritting her teeth and saying, “Heavenly-Snake has ‘Twin Flowers’ there… It’s useless for you to blow off one of my legs. This is just throwing your life away in vain…”

“Ha…” Earth-Horse hung her head, leaning against the door, and said quietly, “Damn old hag, Golden Monkey sends his regards.”

……

Heavenly-Monkey and Heavenly-Rooster’s room.

All four people stood in place panting heavily, covered in wounds.

Heavenly-Rooster and Heavenly-Monkey were originally a pair of beautiful young man and woman, but now their eyes, corners of their mouths, and noses were all covered with injuries. Their injuries were identical, like two ends of a mirror.

“Rooster…” Heavenly-Monkey said somewhat angrily, “Aren’t you going to display your third ability yet…?”

“Third ability…?” Heavenly-Rooster was stunned for a moment, his expression also somewhat angry. “Do you think we’ve reached our current predicament because I haven’t deployed my third ability?”

“You said… your third ability guaranteed you made it to today, achieving ‘Heaven-level’ status. But you consider it your trump card and have always refused to display it in front of me.” Heavenly-Monkey wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. “If you don’t deploy it… we’re going to fall into a bitter struggle.”

“I…” After hearing this, Heavenly-Rooster fell silent, a trace of hesitation appearing on that handsome face.

“Hahahaha… Fuck, you’re killing me with laughter.” Earth-Monkey leaned against the wall and laughed loudly beside them. “Little Heavenly-Monkey girl, that third ability… he definitely doesn’t dare show it to you.”

After hearing this, Earth-Rooster also turned to look at him: “What, you figured it out?”

“Yes, this is really too interesting.” Earth-Monkey said. “I’ll just watch and see when this little couple finally turns against each other.”

“Turn against each other…?” After hearing this, Heavenly-Monkey laughed coldly. “How could you, an old fat man, possibly understand our unity? Physical attractiveness is humanity’s most deadly advantage. It can even supersede ability, after all, the world’s excellent resources all tilt toward people with good looks.”

Earth-Rooster furrowed her brow and said with a face full of disdain: “You little girl are even more obsessed than me… Although I judge by appearance, I’m not to the point of completely ignoring the heart.”

“So this is why you brought an ugly monkey to cause trouble for us?” Heavenly-Monkey laughed angrily. “Sister… I truly pity you…”

“Are you using verbal attacks on us?” Earth-Rooster shook her feathers. “I feel like you’re the one who hasn’t figured out the situation. This ugly monkey and I came in while arguing, but the more we fight, the better our coordination. On the other hand, you loving little couple seem to be getting angrier the more you fight. Could it be you’re about to quarrel?”

“You…” Heavenly-Monkey became even angrier after hearing this. “Someone breaks into your home and attacks you—wouldn’t you be angry? Moreover, you brought such an ugly monkey. As fellow monkey ‘Zodiacs,’ I’ve completely lost face.”

“What’s wrong with an ugly monkey?” Earth-Rooster said. “You’re with a handsome rooster, but I haven’t seen him be of any help. When it comes to real fighting, he’s not as good as my ugly monkey. After all, you two appear harmonious but are secretly at odds, but this ugly monkey and I can throw our lives down for each other. Can you two do that?”

“Throwing down your life for an ugly monkey… I don’t know what evil has possessed you.”

“Wait a minute, you two…” Earth-Monkey finally couldn’t hold back anymore. “I always thought you two were cursing each other. Fuck, but how come every sentence is cursing me?”
