Chapter 154: Enter the Dungeon! (2/2)

”Whatever you say.” She mumbled.

Ignoring her, I headed inside the Void Tower, following White as he descended downwards.

I still can't believe that this is called a Void Tower when it's basically a dungeon. If it was a Tower, then it's a given that we should be going upwards. And yet for some reason, there is no way up. This is indeed one of the most mysterious dungeons I've ever seen. As for Hui-ying, she wouldn't even tell me anything about this dungeon aside from the Guardian on the deepest parts of the dungeon.

”Yongrui, be careful.” Shen Rong called out from the outside.

For safety purposes, I didn't let anyone enter the dungeon with us since White could just turn on me and use one of them as a hostage. If there was a small chance that that would happen, then I'd like to avoid it as much as possible.

”Are they not coming?” White asked, jerking his thumb towards the entrance which was already above us. Right now, we were already descending a flight of stairs that would lead to who knows where.

”No, I wouldn't want you taking one of them hostage, or using one of them as bait or sacrifice.” I half-jokingly said. ”And also, I don't know what's waiting for us inside this dungeon. This dungeon is connected to the ancient and mysterious power and I planned to reconnoiter around the place alone. With you around, it makes things easier for me.”

”Yeah, right. But you do know that I can easily overpower you, right? If worse comes to worst and there really is a priceless relic here, then I can easily take it right under your nose.” White returned, clearly telling me that I shouldn't have any funny ideas.

”Sure, you do you.” I tried to sound as casual as possible. ”I won't stop you from taking anything. In return, you should keep your word and tell me everything about the Middle Plane.”

”Once you get to the Middle Plane, you will realize that everything I'll tell you is all just common knowledge. If you badly want to know about this, then I don't mind telling you.” ]

White had a pleased expression on his face. It was obvious what was going through in his mind. He's probably thinking that he's got the bigger bite on the bone, but he doesn't know what's about to hit him next.

”I don't mind. I need all the information I can.” I continued. ”Before you tell me about the general knowledge of the Middle Plane, I have one question?”

”Sure, what is i— ”

Screeeech!

A huge bird instantaneously appeared in front of us, flashing its beak as it asserted its dominance. The bird was about thrice my size and it didn't show any hesitation in attacking us.

For something its size, it's a literal bird-brain. Can't it see that White is more powerful than any individual in the Lower Plane? Or maybe it planned a surprise attack and it was too late for it to back down.

Either way, I instantly knew that it was dead meat.

”Shut up.” White calmly said as he snapped his finger, blowing the Griffin-like beast as if it was booger. ”Now, where were w— oh yeah, you were asking about something.”

”Ehrmm~” I cleared my throat, surprised that White didn't even bat an eye at such a creature.

Based on my judgment, the bird was at least a Platinum-rank Spirit Beast. Well, I'll just harvest its core and spirit later.

”How is the Black Spirit Sect doing up there in the Middle Plane?” I asked straightforwardly.
