GOR Chapter 577 The Dark Clouds Will Eventually Fade

At some unknown point in time, clouds had begun gathering up in the sky.

Shen had his head lowered as he looked at the little boy beside him. Adam was crouched on the ground, a tree branch in his hand. It was unknown where he had obtained that tree branch. Adam used it to overturn the pieces of gravel on the ground, seemingly in an attempt to find something.

Shen sighed and raised his head to look up the sky. Rays of light seeped out through the gaps between the dark clouds, creating a lingering atmosphere of sanctity.

“Humph, it does give off a somewhat holy atmosphere,” said Shen with a rather disdainful tone. “Creating such a sky, are you feeling too bored, Zero City?”

No response.

“Let us go.” Shen stretched out his hand to pull Adam by the hand – Adam should have been intangible, without body. He was supposed to be a holographic projection. However, for some unknown reason, Shen was able to clearly grip Adam’s arm, allowing him to pull him up. He had a warm smile on his face.

“Come, I will show you this world – even if all of them… are fake.”

There was hesitation on Adam’s face. “I… … have never seen this world.”

“… … it has to be seen.” Shen smiled. There in his eyes was a strange hint of confidence.

Mm, it was confidence.

It has to be seen.

…

“It is already three out of five.”

Chen Xiaolian exhaled. “I wonder who the others in this instance dungeon are. Maybe… … they are the old friends in the list.”

Phoenix did not say anything. Instead, she quietly balled her fists. Soo Soo, who noticed the minute detail, blinked and reached out with her hand to lightly touch Phoenix’s fingers. She said in a hushed tone, “You, are you feeling nervous?”

Phoenix lowered her head to look at the little girl. Then, she quietly relaxed her fists.

By then, Chen Xiaolian had already found something.

At a corner of the tent, he slowly picked up something that was hacked off by the sword.

It was a black coloured piece of metal, very sharp. It had been neatly hacked off and was only around several centimetres in length. He used two fingers to hold it as he leaned closer to examine it, even going so far as to sniff at it.

“The black colour comes from rust and blood,” said Chen Xiaolian with a frown. “It looks like… … the fragment of a weapon. Maybe something like a sword was hacked off, leaving this behind.”

At that moment, they received a prompt through their personal system.

[System prompt: … … item (4/5), access to a new… …]

The details there were not important. Clearly, Chen Xiaolian had found something useful. The number of quest items found had gone up to (4/5).

However, the final sentence in the prompt caused their faces to change.

[ … Instance dungeon countdown: 299 minutes 58 seconds.]

It had finally ticked down from ‘299 minutes 59 seconds’!

One second.

Just one second.

However, after falling to 299 minutes 58 seconds, the time stopped once more.

“One second.” Chen Xiaolian lowered his head and he pondered the issue. When he raised his head, there was a bitter smile on his face and he said, “I… … understand now.”
