Chapter 1825 Entering the Grave (1/2)
”Little Black, are you a Rebate? And your father is a King? How can you not have Teeth Knife?” There was still a while to go before the next knife rain came, so Han Sen tried to talk to Black Steel.
Hearing Han Sen call him Little Black, his eye twitched. He held back the urge to cut Han Sen down and simply closed his eyes.
”I know you must be the playful sort. I bet you like hitting on girls or something, to have skipped the years that would have allowed you to learn Teeth Knife.” Han Sen was curious. Teeth Knife was so strong, so why was it that Rocks Fall Duke had learned it, whereas Black Steel hadn't?
Black Steel's eyelids twitched. He stared at Han Sen and said, ”Do you think everyone is as lucky as you? Teeth Knife is a Rebate skill, but not many people have the ability to practice it. Only six people know it right now, and Queen is the only one that is capable of mastering it I want to learn from her, but she does not think I am capable of learning it.”
”You can go and find the other five,” Han Sen said.
Black Steel hummed and said, ”I want to learn from the best If I can't learn it from her, I won't accept it from anyone less. Queen recommended that I learn another skill, anyway, so I don't need Teeth Knife.”
”What is the skill you are learning, then?” Han Sen asked.
Black Steel coldly said, ”Cut-Steel Knife.”
”That sounds powerful. Is that the skill you were using?” Han Sen's eyes opened wide. He was looking quite shocked.
Black Steel saw Han Sen was only pretending to be shocked, so he could extract more information, and felt his own eyelids repeatedly flicker with a twitch. He stood up and focused on getting to the top of the mountain.
”Little Black, where are you going?” Han Sen asked as he followed.
”I have a death wish. If you are afraid of dying, then I recommend that you don't come any further. When the grave erupts, you'll be slaughtered,” Black Steel said coldly. Then, he went ahead to reach the peak.
Han Sen did not believe Black Steel was going to die, and he was quite happy to have finally met someone with a fine temper. He wasn't going to let him go off quite so easily.
So, Han Sen followed him up to the peak. It was like a real volcano there. When Han Sen looked down, it looked like a meatgrinder beneath him, with a sea of knives all lying together. They lined up like the layers of teeth within the maws of a monster. It was a scary sight to see.
At the bottom, there was a red juice. It was lava, presumably. The weapons appeared to be ticking out from the liquid.
”Little Black, can we find a weapon amidst those? The weapons are all together, right? So, the good ones should be easier to find.” Han Sen couldn't take his eyes off the Knife Grave.
Black Steel coldly said, ”If you aren't afraid of dying, you can certainly try.”
Han Sen thought his life was more important. He wasn't familiar with this place, so it was best not to risk it all by trying to venture in.
While Han Sen was thinking about this, Black Steel was actually climbing down already.
”Little Black, why are you going down?” Han Sen looked surprised.
