Chapter 466 - Prison (1/2)

While Hao Xuan sat there absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, he couldn't help but wonder what was happening outside.

He couldn't hear the sounds of the battle currently taking place several hundred meters above ground, but it wasn't hard to imagine.

Dai Zhi had a very powerful background so there was no way he would be sent out without a few live-saving measures. Unfortunately, Hao Xuan was trapped down here so there was no way for him to check out Dai Zhi's combat methods.

But that only increased his curiosity towards the little book that was given to him both as a present and a tool to kill Dai Zhi with.

Hao Xuan opened his hand and the book appeared in his grasp.

It was completely black, seemingly made out of normal materials with nothing extraordinary about it at all. There were scorch marks near the top and bottom of both the front and back covers but it wasn't easy to see them because the cover itself was too dark.

As Hao Xuan brushed his hand across the front, he felt some words engraved on the front cover.

”Hmm?” he raised ad brought the book closer up to his face but no matter how much he focused his vision, he couldn't see anything. Only be moving his fingers across the cover did he feel for the words.

”Th..e rea...chi..ng?” he tried to make out the letters, but it wasn't as easy to do. If he was looking at the words, his brain would automatically convert the words for him in a language he was fluent in but feeling for the words was too hard.

Opening the book, the first page was completely blank. So was the 2nd, the 3rd and every other proceeding one. But when he moved his hand over the page, he could faintly feel for the words.

It was truly a strange phenomenon.

”Baracus, can you scan this page and see if there's anything there?” Hao Xuan mumbled.

*Beep*

The ever so familiar beeping sounded before Baracus spoke up.

”Hold your hand over it.”

Hao Xuan did so and a blue light came out of his hand and fell on the first page.

”Negative. There is nothing on the page at all,” Baracus commented not a second later.

Hao Xuan's brow scrunched up slightly, ”Are you sure?”

”One Hundred Percent. I have run over sixty different compilers but there is nothing. At least nothing I can pick up,” he added the last line after a brief period of contemplation.

”Nevermind then.”

'I guess it would have been too easy if they gave me a book to read like a normal person right?' Hao Xuan thought inwardly while grinding his teeth.
