Han Sen stayed in the camp for two days, and then he was told to go to the shelter.
In fact, the shelter could be seen from the campsite. The shelter in the mountains was shrouded in clouds all day long, and only a vague outline could be seen.
"Little Brother, when you go to the shelter, you should stay close to me. We can take care of each other," Mister Li said to Han Sen.
Han Sen nodded and said, "Yes, we should. We're friends, and I hope we can all make it out alive."
After Han Sen said this, the young demi-god, Xu Yanmeng, said, "You dare say that?
Mister Li wants you to stay close to him so he can protect you. You only have a bronze geno core, and you won't even know how you died. "
"Thank you, Mister Li."
Although Xu Yanmeng's words were harsh, Mister Li was just being nice. Han Sen didn't want to argue with him, so he just thanked Mister Li.
Mister Li smiled and said, "I don't know if I'll be able to make it out alive. Let's all do our best."
Not long after, Yu Xuan and his big sister, Yu Miao, led Han Sen and the others to the mountain stream in front of the sanctuary.
Han Sen thought he'd be able to see more clearly if he got closer. But when he got closer, all he could see was a silhouette in the clouds.
Yu Miao allowed them to rest for a while, and then a group of people came from another direction. Han Sen recognized them. It was the woman who had stolen his Starsea Orb and the dead dog.
"Goddess, you're too late," Yu Miao said, looking at the woman.
Before she could speak, the dog said, "What do you mean by 'too late'? We came at just the right time."
While they were talking, Han Sen observed Goddess's group. Aside from the creatures, there were also five humans. Two of them were particularly strong, and they must have had gemstone geno cores, just like Mister Li and the others.
Suddenly, the dog pointed at Han Sen and said, "You people are so useless. You brought a human with a bronze geno core here. We don't need people like that."
"One more person means one more force. It's always useful." Yu Miao flatly said.
The last time the woman and the dog appeared in Hidden Truth Valley, they were looking for Nan Litian. But he was dead, and they saw that Han Sen only had a bronze geno core, so they didn't take him with them.
"Time's up. Get ready to go," the Goddess said calmly.
Yu Miao didn't say anything more. She told them to gather and get ready. The mist outside the shelter began to fade under the sun, and they could see the gate. Then, she allowed them to enter the shelter.
There were nine people in total, and aside from Han Sen, Mister Li, Xu Yanmeng, and Old Qiu, there were five from Sacred: Wang Zhao, Zhong Sanxiao, Yu Zhiyou, He Zhi, and Xiao Liuyu.
Han Sen's group was led by Mister Li, and his group was led by Yu Zhao and Zhong Sanxiao. They were all humans, but Han Sen could tell they had different agendas.
Han Sen was not surprised by this. Humans were famous for their infighting. There was a saying, "Fighting with others is fun." It was said by a human. Even two people would fight for different benefits, let alone nine.
"Little Han Sen, be careful of the mist. Don't get too close," Mister Li warned.
Han Sen thanked Mister Li, but in his heart, he cursed, "Yu Xuan and Qing Le, those two * ssholes. I don't know how many things they haven't told me. My Dongxuan Aura cannot penetrate this fog. I can only feel the danger, but they haven't told me anything about it."
"Mister Li, should we leave before the mist thickens?" Han Sen asked.
Mister Li answered, "The mist will only become thinner at noon. It's enough for us to pass through, but it'll reappear outside the shelter after a while. It's extremely dangerous inside, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow to get out."
Now, Han Sen knew he couldn't leave whenever he wanted to. Yu Xuan and Qing Le hadn't told him anything about this. Perhaps it was because they wanted to keep it a secret, but Yu Miao didn't care about Han Sen.
Han Sen was probably the one who knew the least about the shelter, out of all the people there, he was the one who knew the least about it.
The group walked into the shelter, and the atmosphere was tense. Aside from Han Sen and Mister Li, no one else spoke. They all knew they were going to die.
When they came to the gate of the shelter, the door was pushed open. Everyone entered through the gap and into the mysterious shelter.
Han Sen thought he would be able to see the Life Door engraving when he entered the shelter.
But to his surprise, there was a lot of fog in the shelter.
It wasn't as thick as it was outside, but it was difficult to see the buildings in the distance.
He could only see the outline of a building that looked like a tower, but it wasn't a tower.
It looked like a monument, but it wasn't a monument.
"Brothers, now that we're here, we're all human compatriots. There are no outsiders here, so we can talk openly and honestly."
Mister Li looked at Wang Zhao and Zhong Sanxiao, and went on to say, "In order to increase our chances of survival, how about we tell each other everything we know about the shelter?"
"That would be great." Wang Zhao and Zhong Sanxiao looked at each other, and then Wang Zhao said, "That would be great."
Everyone told each other everything they knew. None of them had ever been to the shelter before, so they had to rely on Yu Miao and Goddess to tell them everything they knew.
But because Outer Sky and Sacred had explored the sanctuaries twice, the routes they took were different. As a result, the information they received was different.
After hearing what they had to say, Han Sen was able to learn a little more about the shelter. He wasn't as clueless as before.
Qing Le spoke casually, as if those humans had easily reached the bronze coffin. But in reality, that was not the case. Before they reached the bronze coffin, most of the 29 people had already died.
Mister Li and the others talked for a while, and then they came up with a path they all agreed on.
Han Sen only had a bronze geno core, and he didn't know much about the shelter, so he could only listen.
No matter which path they chose, they had to pass by the building that wasn't a tower. The only difference was whether they took the left or the right.
According to Mister Li, the building itself was very dangerous.
