Chapter 1389 Another Expert in the Human Race (1)
Without needing Mu Zhixing to urge him, Zhou Shu had already turned to the black shadow.
While Zhou Shu and Mu Zhixing were discussing, the black shadow stood dozens of feet away like a wooden puppet.
There was no aura fluctuation on his body at all. If they didn"t see him standing there with their own eyes, Zhou Shu and Mu Zhixing wouldn"t even have noticed that there was someone there.
The black shadow was indeed magical.
Zhou Shu looked at the black shadow and asked, "Brother Wu, can you leave the Glacial Palace?"
The black shadow nodded, then shook his head.
Zhou Shu could now roughly figure out this black shadow"s tricks.
He probably meant that he could leave, but he wouldn"t.
Zhou Shu continued asking, "Brother Wu, I want to take a look inside this thatched hut. Is that okay?"
The black shadow shook his head without hesitation.
He shook his head so much that his hair, which had been covering his face, was shaken off, revealing his true appearance.
The black shadow"s face was pale, and there was a shocking wound on his cheek. It was unknown how many years had pa.s.sed, but the wound had yet to heal. His flesh was exposed, and blood was still slowly seeping out.
Just looking at it made Zhou Shu feel pain.
He didn"t know how this black shadow had endured all these years.
Zhou Shu couldn"t help pitying him.
Zhou Shu sent a voice transmission to Mu Zhixing. "Mu Zhixing, do you have to enter thatched hut?"
"Nonsense. I worked so hard to find this place. If I don"t go in, why would I have come here?" Mu Zhixing transmitted angrily.
In order to find the Glacial Palace and to be able to enter, Mu Zhixing had spent countless efforts.
With success in front of him, how could he give up?
Otherwise, he wouldn"t have agreed to Zhou Shu"s clearly excessive conditions.
Zhou Shu sighed and sent a voice transmission. "Sigh, Mu Zhixing, for you, I have no choice but to be the bad guy once. This time, I"ve suffered a huge loss. I"ve even lost my reputation!"
Mu Zhixing rolled his eyes. You"ve suffered a huge loss? I"ve suffered a huge loss!
I was the one who discovered this Glacial Palace. Why do I feel like you"ve obtained all the benefits?
Are you not satisfied with a laurel tree?
If this laurel tree was placed outside, countless people would fight to the death for it!
Mu Zhixing didn"t know that he was stepping on the galaxy divine sand. Otherwise, he would curse even more.
Zhou Shu looked at the black shadow. "Brother Wu, I want to go into the thatched hut to take a look. Can you move aside?"
The black shadow shook his head firmly.
Fear flashed across his eyes. But even so, he didn"t move. Instead, he stood firmly in front of the thatched hut.
Zhou Shu said in a calm tone, "I"m just going in to take a look. If the person you"re guarding is really still alive, I might be able to help her."
Mu Zhixing pursed his lips. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d is addicted. Who would he help? He won"t do anything without benefits.
Mu Zhixing was full of indignation.
The black figure seemed to be deep in thought. After a quarter of an hour, he nodded nervously.
Mu Zhixing"s jaw dropped. This works? Why do you trust Zhou Shu? I have no ill intentions.
Zhou Shu turned to Mu Zhixing and smiled brightly. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission. "Mu Zhixing, follow me. Don"t act rashly. Let me know if you want anything after you enter. I"ll communicate with Brother Wu."
What the h.e.l.l, Brother Wu! Are you very close to him? Mu Zhixing cursed in his heart, but he didn"t dare to say anything and sent a voice transmission. "I understand."
Zhou Shu stepped forward. The black shadow was a little hesitant. He maintained a safe distance from Zhou Shu and walked toward the thatched hut.
As he approached the thatched hut step by step, Zhou Shu suddenly realized that it was just an ordinary thatched hut.
But the more ordinary it was, the more shocking it was.
The Glacial Palace was one of the thirty-six heavenly palaces of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Would there be an ordinary thatched hut inside?
Moreover, there were traces of a battle everywhere in the Glacial Palace, but this thatched hut could actually stand here unscathed.
It was completely illogical.
There must be something fishy going on.
Zhou Shu raised his guard.
At this moment, the black shadow had already pushed open the door of the thatched hut and walked in.
Zhou Shu and Mu Zhixing looked at each other. They remained vigilant and followed.
There was nothing special about the thatched hut.
It was completely like an ordinary thatched hut.
The s.p.a.ce in the thatched hut was not big, only dozens of feet in diameter.
The layout inside was also very simple. Apart from a wooden table, there was only a bed and a bookshelf.
There was also a teapot on the wooden table.
It looked like there was still someone living here.
It was clean and tidy.
The black shadow was standing quietly at the door.
When Zhou Shu crossed the threshold, he subconsciously took two steps back and maintained a distance from him.
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing. The person Zhou Shu imagined was in the thatched hut wasn"t here. He didn"t understand why Mu Zhixing wanted to enter this place.
He didn"t understand what the black figure wanted to protect.
Mu Zhixing"s eyes burned as he scanned the thatched hut.
Instead of looking disappointed, he became excited. "That"s right. This is the place!"
