Chapter 446: The Secret of the Aria of the Goddess of Light (III)
The feeble Haoyue immediately returned to his original world. And now, Long Haochen started to finally understand why the Demon God Emperor attempted to look for him in the past. That was because his power was a threat to the very root of the demons, given his capability to destroy demon god pillars.
Making a fist with both his hands, and holding them tight, Long Haochen turned back to look at the comrades behind him.
“We won!”
“Yes, we won!”
Long Haochen extended his right hand, and Sima Xian, Han Yu, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Ying’er placed theirs above his, one after another. Cai’er looked a bit hesitant, but still placed her tender hand above Chen Ying’er’s in the end. Long Haochen than added his hand hand on top of hers. Then he suddenly gave out another loud shout, “We have won!”
The pain he had these days seemed to have all been vented out, and gripping Cai’er’s hand, he let the feelings that have been constrained in him burst out at once.
In front of his comrades, Long Haochen always showed his serious self, so this may be the first time he showed such an impassioned side. Only now did the others present beside him realize that this young knight that had been pulling them forward had still yet to reach his twenties.
The exuberant mood didn’t last for too long, and after a temporary stir of emotions, Long Haochen returned to his usual calm and composed self. In a deep voice, he said, “Everyone let’s rest and regroup by the entrance of the cave, before going to explore it. After this, we should leave this place as fast as possible. We don’t know whether the other demon gods will show some reaction from the destruction of one of their seventy-two pillars. This place is definitely not suited for us to stay.”
Everyone nodded at these words, returning to the cave to gather. The one who needed the most rest was Long Haochen, who sat down and focused on his cultivation, surrounded by the others, who were all resting on their own. Although the battle that just happened was short, everyone was mentally exhausted to different extent. Now that they could relax and let their guard down a bit, exhaustion immediately washed over them. Perhaps this exhaustion was piling up ever since the day they entered the demon territory.
The four holy guards were standing outside the cavern, calmly gazing afar. At this moment, due to the descent of the goddess of light and the destruction of the demon god pillar, the air in the Swamps of Gloom seemed been cleaned and have some fresh air. At least as far as the eye could see, the misty poisonous fog dispersed, and in this scope, the air even carried some the fresh taste of sunlight.
The Swamps of Gloom returned to their calm, and although this Land of Death wasn’t so rich in breath of life, the aura of death once reeking was at least concealed by all the mud. The power of great nature was just that great and terrifying. Be it humans or demons, all living beings only seemed to be part of the food chain.
Long Haochen didn’t rest for too long, and after roughly half an hour, his eyes were already open.
“Sima, guard the entrance along with the ninth, tenth, and twelfth holy guards. If anything happens, have the tenth holy guard enter to inform us. The others, follow me.” Standing up once again, Long Haochen immediately gave these orders,
The reason for having Sima Xian stay was simple, the aftereffects from the Purple Godly Thunder still had yet to disappear. And if something happens inside the cave, he will have difficulty to respond.
Sima Xian nodded, then gripping his Gigantic Ball of Light, he sat on vines near the entrance of the cave. The ice specialist Eleventh Holy Guard then appeared and accompanied Long Haochen’s group inside the cave.
The reason to take the Eleventh Holy Guard along was simple, first for his knowledge and experience, and then because a lot of his abilities were control-oriented.
Long Haochen was the vanguard, with Han Yu and Wang Yuanyuan on his two sides. Lin Xin, Chen Ying’er, and the Eleventh Holy Guards were in the middle, and finally, Cai’er was in the rear.
Although danger didn’t have high odds to appear on the rear, Cai’er still remained a close quarters fighter no matter what one would say. Given that her control over her abilities was growing with time, with her on the rear, Long Haochen would also be able to relax.
The greenish black vines lingered continuously, stretching without end.
But to everyone’s astonishment, these vines seemed to be issuing a mild light. For this reason, while coming down, the cave wasn’t dark.
The whole interior of the cave didn’t look smaller as it kept stretching, and remained well proportioned from beginning to end. The inclination wasn’t important either. The deeper they went, the light produced by the surrounding vines was instead even brighter.
