Chapter 2035: Entering the Ravine (1/2)
Their faces changed.
“Xiaolong, are you sure it’s down there?” The King of Darkness stared at Huang Xiaolong and asked in a serious tone.
“That’s right.”
The little cow swept her gaze across and noticed the joyful expression on Du Hai’s face. She couldn’t help but erupt in anger, “Old man, did you realize that the thing we were looking for was at the bottom of this ravine? Is that why you allowed us to enter? It’s no wonder it was so easy to strike a deal with you!”
Du Hai roared with laughter, “Old lady, you’re blaming me with no evidence! The reason I allowed you in was because we were friends! Why are you blaming me now?”
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand at the little cow and said, “Alright, I’ll head down alone. Wait for me here.”
“No way.” The little cow shook her head. “I’m going with you.”
The mysterious energy at the bottom of the ravine was able to cause her heart to race. She couldn’t allow Huang Xiaolong to venture down on his own.
However, Huang Xiaolong ignored her objection and said, “There is no need. I’ll go down alone. You and Old Black should remain here with Wu Shaowu and the rest.”
With both the little cow and the King of Darkness watching over Du Hai, Huang Xiaolong felt much more reassured. He was afraid that there would be no one there to stop Du Hai if he tried to do anything funny.
The little cow exchanged glances with the King of Darkness.
“Fine.” They eventually nodded when they realized his intentions.
Huang Xiaolong no longer hesitated as his figure disappeared into the darkness below. He was quickly swallowed by a wave of the devil and poisonous qi.
When Du Hai saw Huang Xiaolong disappearing into the depths below, he couldn’t help but release sinister laughter. According to him, a late-Sixth Order Emperor like Huang Xiaolong would only reach a depth of several thousand feet below the surface. He would be back in twenty minutes.
Under the bated breaths of everyone present, twenty minutes soon passed.
However, nothing could be heard other than the occasional cry of devil beasts.
Du Hai waited for several more minutes and couldn’t help but turn curious. He had expected Huang Xiaolong to emerge with a sorry appearance, but nothing of that sort happened.
“Old lady, is that kid really your master?” Du Hai couldn’t help but ask when he saw the worried expression on her face.
The little cow glared at him and snapped, “That’s right! You had better address him with the respect he deserves. What are you calling him a kid for?”
Du Han’s heart trembled, but he forced cold laughter. “There’s no need to be so anxious. It’s just how I address him. Is he the current Radiance Prince?”
The little cow felt her heart tremble for a second. It seemed as though Du Hai was ignorant of everything that happened in the outside world. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to know about Huang Xiaolong’s identity.
In fact, she was right. When the Six Winged Green Mosquito Race secluded themselves from the world, they cut had off all connection with the outside world. Du Hai would only send out small batches of disciples once every tens of thousands of years to gather information about the more important worlds.
Huang Xiaolong had only risen in the past several hundred years, and it was obvious that Du Hai had no idea who he was.
“Looks like I’m right.” Du Hai felt that the little cow’s silence was equivalent to admitting that he was right. He chuckled with glee, “Aren’t you losing out a little too much? How can you allow a mere Radiance Prince to be your master?”
The little cow snorted with displeasure, “You’ll know his identity in the future.” She paused for a second before continuing, “As for me, no matter how far I’ve fallen, I’ll still be better off than a certain someone who can’t poke his head out of the Devil Abyss.”
