1312 Repaying Kindness with Ingratitude (1/2)

All of them continued their journey after that.

Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding'ao did not bother about the consequences. They still wanted to follow right behind Chen Xiaobei no matter what would happen. As everyone else was not powerful enough to protect themselves, they had no choice but to do the same. Fortunately, this underground river was far less dangerous than the world outside.

Although the Asura Hunter-spirits might have sounded dangerous to most, however they were no threat at all to Chen Xiaobei. They would all be killed if they had the guts to try attacking Chen Xiaobei. As for those like the Salamander King, they posed no threat as well. The second they tried to come close, Chen Xiaobei would instantly kill them and turn them into food.

With that being said, their journey underground seemed pretty smooth sailing thus far. The only problem they faced was Yin Qi. Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti had godly items protecting them thus they were safe from those Yin Qi.

As for the rest, their Spiritual Energy were slowly tortured by the Yin Qi around them. They all looked like they were suffering from some severe illness. That casued them to take a lot breaks in between the journey. In the end, they took a total of five days to reach their destination. Chen Xiaobei did not waste a single second within these five days. While they were resting, Chen Xiaobei would make use of the time to improve his cultivation. Chen Xiaobei's accumulated training time in total amounted to 50 hours!

Ding!

[Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial stage. Lifespan: 70 years. Health: 115,000. Combat power: 93,300!]

In these five days, Chen Xiaobei also managed to increase 5,000 points to both his combat power and health. This sort of training speed had never happened to anyone before. A normal Jianghu elite would need to spend at least a few years to match with Chen Xiaobei's speedy improvement.

....

”I think that's the Jiangjue Ancient City just up ahead of us!” said Chen Xiaobei once he spotted something different up ahead.

A few days prior to this, everyone had been through countless underground tunnels. All those tunnels were not that big and were built alongside the river. I was obvious that these tunnels were where other smaller countries got their water sources from.

As they reached the end of the tunnel, they came to a 300 meter wide underground lake! Around the lake, there were at least hundreds of tunnels connecting to other smaller countries. And above this giant underground lake was none other than giant kingdom itself; the Jingjue Kingdom that was far more superior to others.

”We are finally here! This is awesome!”

”I think we should be able to salvage all those treasures that Queen Jingjue left behind! I'm totally looking forward to it!”

”I don't really care about all those treasures! All I ever desire right now is just to leave this desert safely! I suppose all of us will be able to return home soon!”

Everyone was filled with excitement.

”This is great… This is awesome… Soon, we will be able to know the truth behind it!”

Luo Puti was just as excited as them. The moment she stepped foot in the Black Desert, she had a strong feeling that she would be able to find the answers that she wanted at Jingjue Kingdom.

She wanted to know why her parents left her behind when she was just a kid.

She wanted to know why were there zero traces left behind.
