Chapter 123: The Valiant Fatty
Seeing the glaring light rush into the sky, Chu Chaoyun stopped in his tracks. He paused for a moment before smiling gently, “What a powerful Martial Technique. Unfortunately, it will be useless after it rises.”
Beside the inky river, Xiao Chen slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw a worried Su Xiaoxiao and Jin Dabao. He felt a warmth in his heart and smiled faintly, “Thank you!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Are you fine? You fell earlier. You scared us.”
Jin Dabao’s eyes were filled with light as he ran over. He smiled, “Brother Xiao, I saw you carving the Golden Lion King’s horn earlier. Are you able to ma.s.s produce this Secret Treasure?”
This fatty truly only had money in his eyes. Xiao Chen got up and ignored him. He inspected his body and did not find any major injuries; he only over-drafted his Essence. He asked, “How long was I unconscious? Did that group of people chase us?”
Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Almost two hours. None of the n.o.ble clan’s people chased after us. Dabao saw them heading downstream; we were debating earlier whether to follow them.”
Xiao Chen stretched his body and felt his body was completely fine. He said indifferently, “We follow. The golden coffin of the Sage has not yet been found. If we don’t go, this trip will have been in vain.”
The fatty laughed loudly, “I knew Brother Xiao would want to follow them. I have already scouted ahead. They followed this river downstream before ascending a thousand meter tall stone platform.”
“I even saw that fellow, Chu Chaoyun, sneaking around alone. He was not with them.”
A thousand meter tall stone platform… Xiao Chen frowned, as he thought, If the fatty did not see wrong, that must be a small realm created by the Sages. Otherwise, such a situation would not occur.
Furthermore, since the appearance of Chu Chaoyun, his strength was a mystery. The others came with a large entourage, but he came alone.
Xiao Chen shook his head and recollected his thoughts, “Let’s go, if we don’t go now, it really will be too late.”
The three of them quickly headed over; very soon, they arrived at the place where the n.o.ble clans killed the bat type Demonic Beasts. They saw the Demonic Beasts’ corpses, and Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks.
Xiao Chen used his Lunar Shadow Saber to cut up one of the Demonic Beasts’ corpses. He then thought for a while, and he walked over to the riverside. He saw the black gas covering the river’s surface. He was startled; a dense Demonic Qi actually covered the water.
The Sage’s Remnant… Why is there so much Demonic Qi gathered here? Is this the Sage’s Remnant or the Devil’s Remnant? Xiao Chen thought doubtfully to himself. He kept feeling something was off with this Ancient Remnant’s appearance.
“Young Master Xiao, what are you thinking?” Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously when she saw Xiao Chen looking at the river in silence.
Xiao Chen awoke from his thoughts and smiled faintly, “Nothing. Let’s go!”
The three of them continued on their journey, using their respective Movement Techniques. Xiao Chen was astonished at the fact that the fatty was not any slower than Xiao Chen despite his rotund body. He wondered what Movement Technique he was using.
Seeing Xiao Chen look at him in astonishment, the fatty opened up his fan and laughed smugly. Xiao Chen could not bear to see the fatty behave in a c.o.c.ky manner, and quickly looked away.
“We have arrived; the stone platform is across the river. Once we cross the river, we will be there.” After they reached the mountain side, the fatty stopped and pointed to the stone platform across the river. He said, “They should be up there.”
Xiao Chen looked at the Demonic Qi filling the river’s surface and said, “We can’t cross it directly. This black gas is Demonic Qi. Just touching a little of it could cause us to demonize.”
After he spoke, he took out a jade bottle from the Universe Ring. This jade bottle was a low-grade Spatial Treasure like the Universe Ring. The s.p.a.ce it contained was huge, but it could only contain liquids and gases. It was something Xiao Chen made out of boredom in White Water City.
He pointed the jade bottle at the river and, to Jin Dabao and Su Xiaoxiao’s astonishment, the black river water started to churn; it absorbed the Demonic Qi from the surface of the water.
After a long time, the black river’s surface became one that did not have any Demonic Qi on it. Xiao Chen put away the jade bottle and said hurriedly, “Let’s cross!”
Xiao Chen had the Gravity Spell and could fly across. The fatty and Su Xiaoxiao leaped across on the water surface before reaching the opposite sh.o.r.e. After they arrived, the fatty immediately moved closer to Xiao Chen. He smiled, “Brother Xiao, what was that earlier? Will you let this fat brother take a look?”
Xiao Chen did not reject him. This jade bottle was not some valuable treasure. Furthermore, its function was limited. It was just something he made out of boredom; the workmans.h.i.+p was very coa.r.s.e. There was no problem with letting the fatty take a look.
The fatty held it in his hand and fondled it admiringly. After a long time, he returned the bottle. He asked, “Why do I feel you made this bottle? Furthermore, it was coa.r.s.ely done.”
Xiao Chen was very astonished, this fatty’s eyes are very sharp. He did not reply his question and looked directly at the stone platform. He could already feel the righteous Qi it was giving off.
Just as they approached the stone platform, the fatty suddenly said, “There seem to be some people seated cross-legged.”
Xiao Chen felt something was wrong. The people seated cross-legged did not appear to be angry. The sound of their movements was very loud, but this group did not react at all.
“Something is wrong, this these people seem to be dead,” Xiao Chen immediately walked over after he spoke.
