Chapter 4270 Meeting With Zen

After Zen's figure disappeared from the Eternal Scroll Painting, the fox girl remained where she stood without moving an inch as though she were paralyzed.

When she snapped out of it, she noticed a white light dot flickering above the void.

The fox girl's gaze followed the white dot of light as it floated above for a while before it finally slid down towards the exit of the Eternal Scroll Painting. She heaved a sigh of relief and then turned to look at the face that was bruised to the point of no recognition by Zen.

Confronted by Zen's fearsome relentless attack, the face of the brush-wielder gave in and was smashed beyond repair.

"Master brush-wielder... are you alright?" the fox girl called out to him in a concerned voice.

As the words left her mouth, the pieces that once sprawled lifeless on the Eternal Scroll Painting regained their lost vitality and slowly crawled their way towards the face of the brush-wielder.

The brush-wielder raised his face carefully as though it were as delicate as porcelain.

At this moment, his face portrayed a strange calmness to it as he remained in his place without uttering a word. He was neither laughing nor crying.

"Please speak to me, Master brush-wielder. Are you alright?" the fox girl asked once again, her tone brimming with undying concern for him.

"I was born with the Eternal Scroll Painting. As long as it is not destroyed, I won't die. Don't worry. I'm fine," the brush-wielder replied. His tone showed no hints of anger when he addressed the fox girl after he recovered from his wounds.

"I wonder if we were able to deceive the downgrader just now..." The fox girl voiced her worried thoughts out loud.

"It shouldn't be a problem." The brush-wielder sighed softly.

Compared to the creatures of the third-grade and fourth-grade worlds, the brush-wielder held more knowledge about the boring life in the Wall World. Everything within that world was divided by length, and it was free from any sort of thickness. Even if there were any sort of life being born within the second-grade world after a long time, those lives would be proclaimed the weakest and the lowest of all lives present there.

In fact, the third-grade world was the lowest limit of life diversification. It was the Lower Extreme World after all, meaning it should be the lowest-grade world. If it continued to downgrade, the life it held within its borders would lose its sense of existence and the purpose attached to it.

The brush-wielder harbored deep-seated resentment for the second-grade world. But he was powerless against the downgrader, so the only option he was left with, was to cooperate with the fox girl to collectively play a trick on him.

"It seems the downgrader is cautious about Zen, so he must be afraid of him. Perhaps there is a chance that Zen will succeed," the fox girl said with her eyes glowing with hope.

Although Zen didn't give her a definite answer, the fox girl remained hopeful and pinned all her expectations on him.

The moment Zen left th

e Starry Roc-fish in the flesh, he immediately sensed from its demeanor that the beautiful fish was seeking them out!

Although the pillar under their feet was very wide, the surface of the pillar was quite bare. They were unable to dodge or hide.

As the Starry Roc-fish continued to close in on them, Geoffrey was suddenly struck with an idea. He grabbed the Heavenly Ring Staff and put it into Ziya's hand before he exclaimed, "Use this to let it hide us! Hurry up, we don't have much time!"

Ziya's powerful ability might have been insufficient when trying to dispose of the Starry Roc-fish. However, making use of a small hiding method seemed to be not that difficult.

Ziya was surprisingly quick to react. He had seen how Geoffrey used the Heavenly Ring Staff before. Therefore he encountered no difficulty in wielding it. After taking it, he raised the Heavenly Rising Staff and yelled out, "Hide us!"

As soon as he voiced his command, Ziya felt the energy from his inner world gush out uncontrollably.

When a small-scale hiding technique was put to use, his inner world went through dramatic changes as almost half of the energy was drained from it.

But the effect was surprisingly effective!

A faint net of light veiled their bodies and suppressed their auras as though they were never there.

As soon as they were hidden from the naked eye, the Starry Roc-fish flew over from afar till it reached where they stood.

"Woo...

Goo..."

The Starry Roc-fish lowered its head to try to get a whiff of their auras but failed at its attempt. After searching unsuccessfully for a while, it moved on to the next holy pillar.

"Master Ziya, we must hurry and head to the Eternal Divine Courtyard. It will be bad if that fish reaches my father before us," Geoffrey said, relaying his concerns to Ziya.

The two of them didn't resort to flying in fear of the Starry Roc-fish locating them. They could only climb along the extended chain.

Fortunately, they were able to move quickly along the chain.
