Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 323 What Now?

"Bahahahaha~... Eat my dust, old bastard!"

"Dammit! You are receiving much! That's foul play!!"

"Foul play, 'moul play'... So what? There are rules set!"

"What the hell are you 2 arguing about? You're still the last 2 in the race! Com'on... Pick up the pace, slowpokes!"

Whoosh!

Old madam Ghu and competitive nature showed its head. What was more annoying was that her husband, Old Ghu, was busy slowing them down, giving her a chance to come up on top.

Even now, the group was forced to eat so much dog food from the couple.

Sigh...

Old Gia missed his late wife, while Old Hou and Xiang Shore missed their wives they left back home.

From young till now, the Ghu couple had always been spreading their dog food everywhere. But can't they see this was a competition and not the time for this?

(¥^¥)

Whoosh!

In no time, the race was on!

The old guys showed their playful side, racing while also following the few whistling birds surrounding them.

That's right.

Butler Sheng had told them to follow the whistling birds if they wanted to reach the academy's grounds.

Even more frightening was that they only spotted 3 very tiny whistling birds the size of a golf ball.

The miniature birds flew so fast that it was hard to spot where they were if not for their constant whistling.

This again was tricky since their whistling echoed out all across, making it hard to pinpoint their exact location if they ever lost sight of the fast little birdies.

"Over there! After it!"

Everyone leaned forward, keeping their eyes on either 3 of the birds.

Butler Feng, the Gia Butler, quickly followed the bird through a rock hoop formed from several floating lands being too close.

Everyone saw him reach the small space and fly slantingly, squeezing his body through perfectly.

Wow!

Many marveled at his quick reflexes while closing to either fly above the land or wait for the bird to pass exit from underneath. Of course, some chose to fly directly underneath the space while looking their eyes up.

Butler Feng gritted his teeth, following the bird through the little tunnel.

'So fast!'

If he was right, the bird accelerated even more. But would he give up just like that and lose sight of it?

Heh.

Not on his watch!

Whoosh!!!

Everyone happened like a blockbuster movie, with Butler Feng leaving so far ahead, almost falling.

But with good balance and form, he gave one hell of a chase many couldn't mimic.

You look at me; I look at you.

"After him!"

They couldn't follow the bird with such powerful precision. So why not follow those who can?

Hell!... Shouldn't they be working hard as a team to reach their final destinations?

It's best one knows their strengths and weaknesses and falls back, letting those that can, do a good job chasing the birds.

Damn!

Blame their eyes for not being able to pick up those little gold-ball-sized words that flew at damn-near lightning speed.

With a single blink of an eye, many had long lost sight of the birds.

What's more, the birds were flying very haphazardly, moving far down, sometimes shooting up like a rocket, swiftly passing various magical sights and even flying so close to the waters below, as though walking on it.

But maybe the most chaotic times were when the birds would fly down into the many thick jungle-like wilderness zones.

Following it through the trees while avoiding distractions from the other animals and strange plants that moved was enough to make them lose sight of the little imps.

That's right.

They had only just started following the birds. Yet, in their imaginations, they seemed to have gone around the world and back when passing through the challenging sights.

Down the Canyons they went, past the land of yellow plants, around and around toward other destinations, even passing through underground regions, shooting out what looked like an inactive volcano similar to a fantasy dungeon, with rock stairways and all sorts of beings and plants around.

But if you think this was the end of their journey, then think again!

Their bird-chasing journey had only begun.

.

"After it! Over there!"

"Oh no! It's passing through a forest with mirrors?... Yes! It's passing through the Forest of mirrors! Chasing the little imps will be too difficult!!"

What bad luck!

At this point, all 3 birds had long separated, making the group separate as well, taking different paths to reach the academy's grounds.

And the more they advanced, the more difficult the birds they chased became.

Son of b**ch.

Many inwardly cursed.

M

Can someone tell them why the birds have chosen to fly through these many strange terrains?

If they were on the basis, hey, they wouldn't have minded, even taking an interest in sightseeing.

But now, they wished the route was simple.

Cold sweat struggled down everyone's faces after realizing they had lost sight of the bird.

Old Ghu, Old madam Gu, Ghu Dwo, Ghu Sota, Butler Windock, Chief Bodyguard Leiji, and several other Ghu guards, as well as direct and indirect descendants, all had grim expressions realizing the bird they chased had pulled a fast one on them.

Yes... The Gias had followed their Wei Gia and Old Gia, chasing after another bird, while the Hous did the same, chasing the last one.

Lost!

Everyone had lost the birds, unbeknownst to each other, far away.

Some found themselves in the forest of mirrors, others in what seemed like a giant temple without a roof. This temple was so large that it took the space of an entire forest.

Yes. It was ridiculous and too mythical-like, looking like a mythological abandoned city with all sorts of high stone sights and green covering the space.

As for the last group, they found themselves lost in a massive swampy forest with trees that shot up high to the sky.

You, me, how... This... This...

What now?
