Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 785: Gui Gou Abyss
A gigantic Black Hawk tore through the clouds and fog with terrifying speed.
The frigid wind howled, whistling sharply.
On the Black Hawk’s head stood two middle-aged men in green robes, along with three young men of varying appearances, making a total of five people.
"Sirs, where are you taking us?"
Big Black Cat glanced at the mountains and rivers beneath his feet, asking with deliberate nonchalance.
"You three young fellows, no need to rush!" the square-faced man grinned meaningfully and said, "Once we arrive, you’ll naturally find out..."
"Alright then."
Sensing the other party’s tight-lipped stance, Big Black Cat shrugged and sighed helplessly.
These two from Yao Lingling are incredibly tight-lipped. He had asked two or three times during the journey but failed to obtain any useful clues.
Big Black Cat knew very well. The Master had sent him, naturally because he was also interested in that great tomb.
"Cat Brother, among us three, you’re the strongest. If we encounter any danger in that ancient tomb, you have to cover us!" Big Black Dog whispered.
"Are you saying you’ll run the moment there’s danger?" Big Black Cat glared at him, annoyed.
"Cat Brother, I don’t mean that at all! I just mean you take the lead, and we’ll be your lookouts from behind..." Big Black Dog chuckled.
"Dog, when it comes to the ins and outs of tomb raiding, you’re much sharper than me. When the time comes, you’ll be the main force. If you try to run, I’ll grab you first and use you as a shield in front of me!" Big Black Cat raised an eyebrow and growled menacingly.
"Alright, Cat Brother, you’ve got me scared! This time, the three of us will work together and strive to make this venture a success!" Big Black Dog spread his hands and said with resignation.
"Alright, Dog, stop trying to take advantage all the time. Do you think Cat Brother is someone you can take advantage of?" Sky-boring Rat pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
"Haha!"
Before Big Black Dog could even speak, Big Black Cat felt a wave of delight, like sipping a cold drink on a sweltering summer day. He patted Sky-boring Rat on the shoulder and chuckled, "Coward, you understand me best!"
Sky-boring Rat laughed heartily.
Big Black Dog shrugged.
Witnessing this scene, the corners of the square-faced man’s and the round-faced man’s mouths twitched.
These three demon beasts—a cat, a dog, and a rat—truly were a strange combination. However, in earlier years, these three had certainly dug up their share of graves. Thus, they had long since caught the attention of Yao Lingling. For that legendary great tomb, Yao Lingling had invested considerable effort. This time, they could only succeed; failure was not an option.
「...」
The void fluctuated.
Ye Yun brought Su Wanyi back into the carriage.
"Master, you’re back?" Big Black Horse smiled, then looked around curiously and asked, "Where are Little black boy and the others?"
Ye Yun chuckled. "A Demon Clan faction named Yao Lingling invited them to raid a tomb!"
"Good heavens, Little black boy is really going down a dark path, even getting into the tomb raiding business..." Big Black Horse marveled.
"Master, did you capture that Black Giant?" Ruyi Jade Spider asked, looking up with a smile.
"Mm," Ye Yun nodded.
"That Black Giant, half-man and half-dragon, looks so strange. Master, what exactly is its origin?" Ruyi Jade Spider inquired.
"If I’m not mistaken," Ye Yun said softly, "this underground palace was likely a base where the Dragon-rearing Clan attempted to create new life forms millions of years ago..."
"The Dragon-rearing Clan?" Ruyi Jade Spider’s interest was immediately piqued.
Seeing Ruyi Jade Spider’s keen expression, a thought struck Ye Yun, and he said with a light smile, "Since you’re so interested, next time we go to the Divine Land, I’ll take you with me. When we get there, I’ll send you out to help me find some clues about the Dragon Raisers..."
"Alright, Master! I’ve longed to visit the Divine Land for ages!" Ruyi Jade Spider exclaimed cheerfully.
"Master, if you go to the Divine Land next time, could you take me along too?" The Saint of Eight Extremes rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.
"Very well. The Dragon Raisers have four major races; it’s perfect, you two can split up and investigate separately..." Ye Yun said after a moment of contemplation.
Naturally, he had shielded the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon from the confidential matters he had discussed since his appearance. Ye Yun also had his own plans for the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon. On the next trip to the Divine Land, Ye Yun intended to bring the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon along and then release it, to see if this fellow would voluntarily lead him to the forces of the mastermind. Ye Yun was changing his tactics; he was starting to try fishing with bait. The Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon was the bait. The Saint of Eight Extremes and Ruyi Jade Spider were two live pieces, specifically responsible for fishing in troubled waters and searching for any trace of the mastermind. Moreover, both of them were exceptionally talented. Once they arrived in the Divine Land, they would be like fish leaping over the dragon gate; their cultivation bases would naturally progress very rapidly. It would also save Ye Yun the trouble of continuing to provide them with cultivation resources.
"Thank you, Master!" Seeing Ye Yun agree, The Saint of Eight Extremes was overjoyed. Like Ruyi Jade Spider, he was filled with curiosity about the vast world of the Divine Land.
Lifting the door curtain, Ye Yun walked in with Su Wanyi.
After Su Wanyi returned to her cultivation, Ye Yun looked at Little Seven. His gaze was filled with tenderness, and he couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
Recently, he had provided Little Seven with a considerable amount of cultivation resources. This caused Little Seven’s cultivation base to advance by leaps and bounds—the little girl had now reached the Molding God Realm Tenth Layer.
Little Seven cultivated day and night without uttering a single word, which made Ye Yun feel a bit desolate. In his view, life shouldn’t always be about cultivation; such a life was far too dull. People should learn to enjoy life, to savor the beauty of this world. I’ll take her on a nice trip as soon as the little girl breaks through to the Divine Bridge Realm... Ye Yun sat down, thinking to himself.
"Master, please have some tea," Mu Qing said, presenting the tea with utmost respect.
Ye Yun took the teacup and sipped lightly.
After putting down the teacup, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
A strand of Ye Yun’s Divine Sense also resided in Big Black Cat’s mind, constantly monitoring everything on Big Black Cat’s end.
Since Ye Yun hadn’t given any instructions on where to go, Big Black Horse pulled the carriage to a spot with beautiful mountains and clear waters and then stopped.
All the demon beasts also began to cultivate.
「...」
Somewhere in the Cangnan Continent.
Deep within the clouds, in a stretch of void shimmering with auspicious, colorful clouds.
Suddenly, the light of a Teleportation Array flared, and a Black Hawk carrying five people materialized from within the light.
"We’re almost there!" the round-faced man said with a smile, looking towards a certain spot.
"This is..." Big Black Dog looked around. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he cried out in shock, "This... could this be the Gui Gou Abyss?"
"Well, well, you Demonic Divine Dog, you even recognize the Gui Gou Abyss!" the square-faced youth said, a look of surprise on his face.
He hadn’t expected the Demonic Divine Dog to recognize it at a glance.
The Gui Gou Abyss, one of the Seven Forbidden Lands of the Cangnan Continent.
Any cultivator would turn pale at its mere mention.
The vast majority of cultivators would go their entire lives without ever visiting the Gui Gou Abyss.
After all, the place was exceedingly ominous, rumored to be filled with many unclean and bizarre creatures.
"Sirs, I have indeed been here before, but I only glanced at it from afar. I was so scared I fled immediately..." Big Black Dog scratched his head and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Doggy, isn’t the Gui Gou Abyss one of the Seven Forbidden Lands?" Big Black Cat asked, his eyes wide.
