Chapter 1761 - Abyssal Zone (1/2)

After exchanging information, Lin Huang and Xia Bing still did not come to an accurate conclusion despite spending some time discussing.

They could only speculate that the Raiders had a very clear goal of creating conflicts, seizing the exploration opportunity this time to stir up trouble. They wanted to break up the major organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone.

The two of them could not really figure out why their actions were so radical this time.

”So what do you plan to do next?” Xia Bing asked.

”What else? I'll continue to hunt and conveniently kill Raiders if I run into them,” Lin Huang answered directly without even thinking about it.

”Do you want to team up with me to conduct a follow-up investigation?” Xia Bing suddenly invited him.

Lin Huang was momentarily stunned, after which he subsequently realized the reason why she invited him.

Although there was a gap between his ability and Xia Bing's on the surface, no matter what, the combat strength he revealed indicated that he was a minor dao-level powerhouse who had mastered 200,000 Dao seals.

Moreover, Xia Bing had confirmed that he had nothing to do with the Raiders.

Who would not be happy to have a major dao-level teammate?

Nevertheless, Lin Huang rejected her directly without even giving it a thought.

”I've gotten used to working alone. Furthermore, given your ability, I'd only slow you down if we run into trouble.”

Naturally, he rejected her not because he had a lower level of ability, but because he thought that such an arrangement was inconvenient.

If he teamed up with Xia Bing, she would be watching each and every movement of his. The risk of him exposing his identity would undoubtedly be higher.

Even though he had confirmed that she was not one of the Raiders, he did not know too much about her. He was unwilling to expose his true identity and ability to her.

”I thought that the efficiency of the investigation would be higher if there was one more person. Indeed, I didn't take what you said into consideration,” Xia Bing agreed to what Lin Huang said after giving it some careful thought, ”Let's work separately then.”

”You can contact me if you run into any trouble.” Xia Bing took out a jade charm that was the size of a thumb and handed it to Lin Huang as she spoke, ”This is a voice transmission charm that I made. You can leave a message by using your Divine Telekinesis on it.”

”Thanks.” Lin Huang took the jade charm and probed it with Divine Telekinesis right in front of her. He only put it away after making sure that nothing was wrong with it.

Xia Bing did not say much when she saw that. On the contrary, she did not find his actions strange at all.

After all, even if Lin Huang had confirmed that she was not a Raiders' spy, he did not let his guard down and remove his mask.

”Alright then. Bye,” Xia Bing said with a smile, ”I hope when I see you again, you'll have your mask removed.”

Lin Huang understood the underlying meaning behind her blessing—”I hope that you'll still be alive when I see you again. Not only that, I hope that you will have solved your crisis by then and no longer need to hide your identity.”

”Thanks.” Lin Huang nodded lightly. He added a few words when he saw Xia Bing was getting up to leave, ”You can contact me too if you encounter something that you can't solve in the future.”

Xia Bing smiled, but responded anyway, ”I'll remember what you said.”

She vanished as soon as she was done speaking.

Lin Huang knew that she definitely did not take his final words seriously.

After all, it would be a long journey for one to get from mastering 200,000 Dao seals to 800,000 Dao seals. It was not a gap that one could catch up to within a short period of time. Under normal circumstances, no matter how talented a person was, one would spend at least tens of years to consolidate a single Dao seal. The gap of hundreds of thousands of Dao seals would require at least millions of years or even tens of millions of years to catch up.

Naturally, Lin Huang did not care about what Xia Bing thought.

No matter what, he had already said what he should.

He did not stay where he was after watching Xia Bing leave. Instead, he went back into hunting mode immediately and began a new round of hunting.
