Chapter 329 - A Strange Boy (2/2)
Xiao Chen ignored him and thought, “How can I bother Guifeng with such a trivial matter?” Then he smiled and said, “By the way, this is the second time we have shared weal and woe right? The last time was at the Thousand Summits Mountain.”
Zhiluan said angrily, “You still have the guts to smile, Kiddo. I have told you before that you’re an unlucky star, whoever is with you will be in bad luck!”
Xiao Chen looked up and laughed. “Haha! I wondered who cried and wailed while grabbing tightly onto my shoulder 3 days ago when we fell into the hell river?”
Zhiluan was blushed. It was so angry that it started to scratch hard on the ground. Suddenly it felt something hard. It picked it up, looked at it, and then asked curiously, “Huh? What’s this? ”
Xiao Chen peered at it and saw that the thing was half a palm-sized, full-bodied purple-black, shiny, with black Qi flowing inside. He shouted, “Throw it away!”
Zhiluan shuddered and immediately threw it out. The amethyst smashed into pieces on the hard rock and immediately a dense Devil Qi spread out. In that instant, Xiao Chen immediately formed a True Energy shield to keep out the Devil Qi. Zhiluan trembled in fear and exclaimed, “What the hell!”
“Follow me!” Xiao Chen pulled him towards a stone forest not far away. The rock wall was covered with countless same amethysts of just now. The small one was of palm-sized, and the large one was like a millstone. It packed so densely that one would get goosebumps just by looking.
“Holy meow! What are these?” Zhiluan opened its cat mouth big, looking very surprised.
“Devil Energy Amethyst.”
Devil Energy Amethyst, formed by gathering the Devil Qi. It is like the Spirit Stone, just that a Spirit Stone contained a large amount of Immortal Qi which was beneficial to the immortal cultivators. The devil amethyst, on the other hand, was for the devil cultivators. However, it was forbidden to have it in the Violet Manor. One could only obtain it in the black market. Not only that, the price of a devil amethyst was way higher than a Spirit Stone of the same level.
“The Devil Energy Amethyst? Oh, my meow! We’re going to be rich! Rich!” Zhiluan cheered and ran to pick up the devil amethysts. Xiao Chen scolded, “Do you want to die? If the Immortals’ League found out that you’re hiding devil amethysts on you, you will go straight to jail for 20 years! ”
Zhiluan’s retracted his hand in horror. “Not, not that serious right? I’m not under Immortals’ League’s control anyway! ”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “Let’s go, this place is not suitable to stay for long.” Just as he was about to turn and leave, at the corner of his eye, he saw a figure underneath a large rock not too far away.
That person was dressed in red and was not tall. He looked like a teenage boy. He stood with his hands behind his back and was also looking at the devil amethysts on the rocks.
“Little brother?” Xiao Chen asked exploratorily.
The person turned around. Indeed, it was a ten-year-old boy, just that his features were just about to define. His eyes were like stars and his eyebrows were sharp. Most importantly, as he faced Xiao Chen, his hands were still behind his back and his eyes were without a trace of panic.
“This place is dangerous, little brother, why are you alone here? Are you a villager from above? ”
Xiao Chen probed and asked again, he did not notice any cultivation on the boy. The boy did not have any Devil Qi on him as well. He was just an ordinary teen. But he could not figure out why he was in such a dangerous place with Devil’s Carnage. It also did not make sense to say that the boy had lost his way.
The boy in red did not answer. Zhiluan flew over and asked, “Oi! Little boy! We’re asking you questions! Are you mute? ”
The boy remained silent. Xiao Chen looked around and said, “Little brother, this place is dangerous. Do you want to come with us?”
The boy still silent, but moved slowly towards him with hands behind his back. An hour later, they were finally out of the rock valley and in front of them was a deadwood forest. Flowers and trees that were within dozens of miles had withered; it was lifeless.
Along the way, Xiao Chen carefully watched the young boy behind and found that he was indeed without any cultivations. With his current Divine Sense, even Grand Completion Realm cultivators could barely escape his eyes. It seemed that this young boy was just an ordinary person, just a little too mature for his age. He asked, “Oh right, little brother. What’s your name?”
Along the way, the young boy in red spoke nothing. At this moment, he was still not answering. Xiao Chen smiled gently and stopped asking questions. He thought he was probably mute.
Right this moment, they suddenly heard a voice coming from the dense forest ahead, “Why? Is it that only you’re allowed to be here, and not us?” After a pause, the person laughed again. “Brother None-flower, these little dolls are so interesting.”
