Chapter 36: Luo Tong Royal City
The front of the treasure map was actually a drawing of a monkey!
While Huang Xiaolong pondered about the significance of the drawing on the map, the little violet monkey ran to him and became visibly excited when he saw the map. Seeing the little monkey’s reaction, Huang Xiaolong became even more baffled.
Could this treasure map be related to the little violet monkey?
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong heard an anguished scream; turning his head in the direction of the scream, he saw Fei Hou in his Silver River martial spirit form throw a powerful punch at Chen Feng’s chest, causing it to collapse.
A heartbeat later, a long sword flew out of the silver-colored river and went straight into Chen Feng’s throat.
Chen Feng looked down and saw that a long sword had pierced through his throat, with red blood dripping to the ground.
He looked up, only to see Fei Hou holding the other end of the sword. His mouth opened and closed a few times, and suddenly he dashed towards Fei Hou. But, after two steps his body tumbled and he fell to the ground.
Fei Hou cast a cold glance at Chen Feng’s body before walking towards Huang Xiaolong. His expression became weird when he saw the so-called treasure map, and he said in a somber tone, “Sovereign, this treasure map was left behind by a powerful demonic beast cultivator.”
“A Demonic Beast cultivator!” Huang Xiaolong was shocked.
“Yes, Sovereign. The words on the other side of the treasure map are written in the beast language.” said Fei Hou as he pointed to the back of the map.
Hearing that, Huang Xiaolong turned the over map and saw that a strange mountain resembling an elephant was drawn on the other side of the map. And at the bottom were several lines of unusual patterns that seemed to be the beast language Fei Hou was talking about.
Suddenly, the little monkey pointed at the writings and gestured at Huang Xiaolong.
“Little guy, are you saying that you understand what's written here?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“Zhi zhi zhi!” The little violet monkey nodded, then it shook its little head.
Huang Xiaolong continued asking the little monkey for a while, but in the end, he still got nothing. Helpless, he put the map in his ring. Although he currently didn’t know the location of the strange elephant-like mountain, nor could he yet decipher the writing, he was certain that the treasure map was related to the little Violet Spirit Devourer Monkey who traveled with him.
As Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou began to dispose of the corpses lying around, Huang Xiaolong found a high-grade Mysterious rank exercise law on Chen Feng’s corpse called Black Moon Art. Other than that, he also found some gold coins and dans on him.
Everything went into Huang Xiaolong’s Asura Ring.
Even though the high-grade Mysterious rank exercise law was useless to him, he could auction it to fetch a good sum, especially for those clans like the Huang Clan Manor that only had low-grade exercise laws of similar same rank.
Moments later, Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and the little violet monkey left the place.
……
Very quickly another two months had passed.
During these past two months, a man, a child, and a monkey continued to travel even deeper into Silvermoon Forest. Huang Xiaolong’s level had improved so much that he was already a half-step into Sixth Order and he could breakthrough at any time.
He worked hard at training the Tears of Asura, and its power had gone up by several folds and the only thing left were the meridians required for the Body Metamorphose Scripture’s Fourth Stage – Convert Power of the Stars which had yet to open up.
Reaching higher levels of the Body Metamorphose Scripture got harder with each stage until it reached twelve stage. However, in his previous life, Huang Xiaolong had gotten to stage nine of the Body Metamorphose Scripture so this time starting all over again was actually easier.
Night came, and moonlight covered the continent.
