Chapter 664: Five Years
Zhou Hao looked at these words and immediately took out the device.
This device entered many ancient words. Under the translation of this device, Zhou Hao understood them.
“Challenge Mission: Within the time limit of five years, break the barrier around the secret room in order to leave. If you can’t open it in five years, you will die!”
“Five years? If you fail, you will die?”
Zhou Hao immediately felt worried!
“Didn’t they say that there would be no danger? Why does it say that I will die if I fail?”
Zhou Hao was very worried. Moreover, if he could not break the surrounding barrier, he would have to stay here for at least five years. In those five years, they would definitely think that he was dead. Therefore, he had to send a message…
He hurriedly took out his device and realized that it had lost its signal!
He frowned tightly. In this deep sea palace, it was like he was trapped inside a special magnetic field and could not communicate with the outside world at all!
If he really trained in this palace for five years, what would the people outside think?
They would definitely think that he was dead!
“This strength mission actually gave me a time limit of five years. At that time, the entire outside world will think that I’m dead! Even Xu Ling will think that way.”
“What should I do?! What should I do?!”
Zhou Hao instantly did not know what to do!
However, he still hurriedly pulled himself together!
“No, I have to get it out as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’ll definitely be done for!” Zhou Hao sighed in his heart and was somewhat anxious. If he did not resolve this matter as soon as possible, it would definitely not work!
It was fine if he was trapped here for a month or two, but what if he was trapped for seven to eight months?
Perhaps even a year or two!
His family, friends, and Xu Ling in the outside world would all think that he was dead!
Zhou Hao was immediately burning with anxiety. “Damn, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come!”
He was extremely depressed. Without saying a word, he activated the Ancestral Physique and bombarded the walls. However, these walls seemed to be refined from fine steel and could not be broken!
“Damn it! This damn secret room! Break!”
Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and waved his fists fiercely! Boom! Boom! Boom! The attacks bombarded the wall and carved a large number of patterns. Zhou Hao smashed crazily with his full strength!
“Break!” Zhou Hao shouted at the top of his lungs.
“I don’t want to stay here for five years!”
The continuous bombardment did not cause any cracks on the strange wall.
“Damn it, damn it.” Zhou Hao meditated in the secret room in despair.
Zhou Hao slowly calmed down and analyzed. Since he had been given five years, it meant that it was definitely not easy to break through this wall!
However, Zhou Hao was worried that his family in the outside world would be anxious. It would be best if he could contact the outside world from the palace and tell his parents and girlfriend that he was safe and sound.
Unfortunately, all the signals here were cut off, and they were unable to leave!
Zhou Hao’s eyes were like blades as he looked straight at the drawings and words on the wall.
“I don’t have five years to waste. I have five months at most. I have to break this place open.”
Zhou Hao slowly stood up and carefully comprehended a large number of drawings and engraved words into his mind. After a period of time, the drawings and engraved words had already been absorbed into his memory. The strength techniques on the wall were all recorded in his head!
Zhou Hao began to officially cultivate. The desire to go home was the only reason Zhou Hao persisted!
What he could do now was to turn his yearning to go home into greater motivation and invest 100% of his energy!
Fortunately, there was a lot of food in Zhou Hao’s backpack. It was enough for him to eat for a long time. Not to mention a few days, he wouldn’t even be able to finish it in a few years!
Zhou Hao forgot to eat and sleep. Other than eating and going to the washroom, he was completely immersed in cultivation!
These techniques of unleashing strength were very different. Compared to Zhou Hao’s random punches, they were much more varied!
In the beginning, Zhou Hao did not care. After all, he had the Ancestral Physique and was very powerful to begin with. However, after cultivating these wall techniques, he realized that he had been scattering his strength all this time.
After being divided, the strength that he unleashed on a single point might only be 56% of his full strength.
However, if this power was gathered at a single point, it would be much stronger!
This was the main gist of this strength technique!
This thing looked a little simple, but it was really difficult to cultivate!
Control of strength and restraints on the body were very difficult!
Zhou Hao took a deep breath. With this practice, time passed quickly. It took him an entire month.
Zhou Hao punched every day and left marks on the wall. In the past two days, he punches became much stronger than before!
Zhou Hao seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope and became even more determined.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhou Hao began to use the same technique day after day!
Finally, five months passed!
In the past five months, Scholar, Veteran, and Xue San had all come out one after another. After they returned and realized that Zhou Hao had not returned, they were all anxious.
“Senior Ji, Captain Zhou… has been in there for five months. What… what should we do?”
The person who spoke was a veteran. He was very nervous and worried.
Senior Ji was the same. His face was filled with worry as he could not help but say, “The thirteenth ancient ruin is not dangerous. Why… would he be in there for five months?”
“Could Zhou Hao have encountered another opportunity?”
Ji Yaoyue could only think so. In her eyes, Zhou Hao’s ability, talent, and even strength were definitely not something they could compare to!
But now, they had all returned, but Zhou Hao had not. What was going on?
“It’s also possible, but… Senior Ji, if he still hasn’t come out after five months, a problem has most likely occurred. Our data shows that on average, people come out after three months. If it’s more than three months, then there’s a problem. So… should we make backup preparations?”
At this moment, the person who spoke was Xue San. He was very calm and said seriously.
“What backup plan?”
At this moment, Ji Yaoyue could not help but ask.
“We still have to persist in the abnormality of the thirteenth spatial rift… Should we also inform Zhou Hao’s parents?”
Xue San was always spot on, so Ji Yaoyue was somewhat uncertain.
“Are we supposed to tell Zhou Hao’s parents the truth? Should we tell them that all the martial artists who have not returned for more than five months can basically be considered to be dead?”
“If we tell them, won’t Zhou Hao’s parents be heartbroken?”
“And most importantly, it’s still too early to tell. How about this? If Zhou Hao doesn’t come out in seven months, we can prepare then and tell Zhou Hao’s parents.”
Ji Yaoyue hurriedly said, but her eyes were filled with deep worry.
