Chapter 1580: Devouring The Dark Neutron
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Chen Xiaobei had said, the purpose of their trip there was not to defeat the Anti-Bei Alliance but to explore the secrets of Emperor Qin’s Mausoleum!
Getting rid of the Anti-Bei Alliance was not going to be difficult. The only concern was that the Blackwater Mystical Snake might suddenly appear during their fight and pose as an even more dangerous threat!
That would be an undoubted disaster for everyone!
That was why, when Chen Xiaobei said that they were not going to take action against the Anti-Bei Alliance, no one made any objections.
Therefore, the next big question for them was what to do next.
No one knew where to even begin so they all looked to Chen Xiaobei for some answers.
“I plan to find the Blackwater Mystical Snake first and then feed it with a Heavenly Dog Biscuit!” Chen Xiaobei said. “It knows the ins and outs of the tomb. With the snake on our team, the rest of our journey would be twice as smooth and successful!”
“What Dog Biscuit? What is that?” Liu Xuanxin wanted to know. “Why is it that once you give the Blackwater Mystical Snake a dog biscuit, it’ll join us?”
“Oh, the dog biscuit I’m talking about is a very special Spiritual Medicine, not the type you feed dogs with!” Chen Xiaobei explained. “Once the viper eats my dog biscuit, it will become my dog, and be 100% loyal to me!”
Liu Xuanxin found Chen Xiaobei’s statement difficult to believe and understand.
“H… How is that possible?”
“Faction Leader Chen is a G.o.dly person!” Long Zishan exclaimed, her awe for Chen Xiaobei now swelled tremendously.
The other four Ancient Tomb women looked at Chen Xiaobei as if they were looking at a deity, completely bowled over.
“But the problem now is – where are we going to find this Blackwater Mystical Snake? Where do we even start?” Six-Eared Macaque asked.
“This is really going to be a difficult task!” Xiangyu agreed. “The Blackwater Mystical Snake did not leave any trails or clues! This Epang Palace is collosal beyond the likes of anything we’ve ever seen! It is as big as a nation! We’ll need to waste a lot of time to search the entire place! It’s worse than searching for a needle in an ocean. In fact, we may not even be able to locate it in our lifetime!”
“Don’t you guys worry! I have a plan!” Chen Xiaobei wiggled his brows confidently.
Everyone else was stunned. How was Chen Xiaobei going to find the Blackwater Mystical Snake without any leads?
They watched in curiosity as Chen Xiaobei took out a long, rectangular wooden box with the words ‘Daylight’ carved on it!
Then, Chen Xiaobei took out a hexagram gemstone that looked like diamond, and then a golden beetle from his pocket!
“What… What are you doing?”
The women around him wore a puzzled expression on their faces. They could not understand what Chen Xiaobei would use the strange a.s.sortment of items for and what they were.
“Xiao’er! Let’s begin!”
Chen Xiaobei then spoke in a language that no one understood.
The body of the beetle suddenly glowed in gold, and the light concentrated to form a single ray of light directed into the area in between Chen Xiaobei’s eyebrows.
A second later, the golden light dissipated. Nothing seemed to have changed on Chen Xiaobei until he picked up the hexagram gemstone, pushed it into his mouth, and began chewing, making loud crunching noises.
He appeared to be enjoying himself as he was eating; the expression on his face was one of deep pleasure.
The women watching this were shocked, looking as if they had just seen a ghost. They stared at Chen Xiaobei, their mouths ajar, thinking he must have gone mad.
“Xiaobei, are you alright? Are you sick?” Liu Xuanxin asked, her voice concerned.
“Silly girl! I’m perfectly fine!’ Chen Xiaobei grinned. “Six-Eared, Li Xiang, Faction Leader Long. Please come to my side!”
“Alright!” Six-Eared Macaque and Li Xiang immediately did as they were told.
“What do you plan to do, Faction Leader Chen?” Long Zishan asked she approached him.
“I’m going to help you guys heal quickly!” Chen Xiaobei said as he picked up the Sunlight Cache, and began to chant a mantra in his heart.
The Sunlight Cache opened up, releasing a red light that showered upon Chen Xiaobei and the three other people around him.
Chen Xiaobei said, “Alright. Starting from now, in 3 to 5 minutes, your injuries would be completely healed! After that, you can all leave the area lit up in the red light!”
“Three to five minutes? How is that possible?” Long Zishan tipped her head. “I would need at least three to five days of recuperation to recover completely.”
“I don’t have time to explain. When the time comes, you’ll understand.” Chen Xiaobei yawned, and then got down onto the floor with his legs crossed. “I’m very tired now. I might sleep for a while. When I wake up, we’ll go look for the Blackwater Mystical Snake!”
“Faction Leader Chen… Chen…” Long Zishan had more questions but Chen Xiaobei was already nodding off.
“This stupid Xiaobei! How can he sleep at a time like this?! Let me wake him up!” Liu Xuanxin stormed over.
But Long Zishan stopped her. “Little Seven! Don’t come near!”
“Why, Sifu? Is something wrong?” Liu Xuanxin stepped back cautiously.
“My injuries are healing quickly! It’s so fast I can literally feel the changes in my body!” Long Zishan gasped. “Faction Leader Chen is awesome!”
“Wh… what?” Liu Xuanxin looked vey puzzled.
“Since Xiaobei didn’t treat you guys as strangers, we’ll tell you!” Xiangyu said. “That box over there is called a Sunlight Cache! It can speed up time! One minute outside the area is equivalent to one day inside the red-light area! That’s why Faction Leader Long and the others will only need to stay inside the light for three to five minutes. That’s equivalent to three to five days. That’s how they are able to recover completely in such a short time!”
“My G.o.d…” Long Zishan said. “Who knew that there would be such powerful items on earth! This is incredible!”
“Is this a Divine Item?” Liu Xuanxin asked in amazement.
Xiangyu smiled in reply.
They would have to keep guessing. He could not possibly tell them about the Three Realms Red Envelope Group.
Five minutes later, Long Zishan, Six-Eared Macaque and Li Xiang left the area lit up in red, fully recovered.
Chen Xiaobei however, was still in a deep sleep.
“What about Xiaobei? According what Bro Xiangyu said, Xiaobei has already been asleep for five days. Why hasn’t he woken up yet?” Liu Xuanxin asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry! Sleeping is good for Xiaobei! The longer he sleeps, the more powerful he gets!”
Xiangyu smiled.
Once again, the women were all flabbergasted.
Li Xiang and Six-Eared Macaque knew that when Chen Xiaobei ate a normal-rank Dark Neutron, his health increased by 7,000 points but the caveat was that he had to sleep for seven days.
This time, Chen Xiaobei had eaten a piece of Prince-tier Dark Neutron. The hours he needed to sleep would naturally be longer, but so would the increase in his health!
Of course, once the neutron had been completely absorbed, Chen Xiaobei would also gain it’s corresponding Special Ability – Astral Projection!
