Chapter 195 - 195: 173: Xiao Hei and the Mural Story_3
With this thought in mind.
Chen Sheng’s heart sank deeper.
Right at that moment.
Perhaps, noticing the wariness and curiosity in the hearts of Chen Sheng and his companion.
The tribal chief abruptly halted his footsteps.
He stood there, head down, contemplating, as if organizing his words.
“I’m not him.”
A brief moment later.
The tribal chief spoke once more.
As he spoke,
His eyes swept over the two of them.
When his gaze fell upon Shen Ziming, his nose twitched slightly, as though he had smelled something.
A look of disgust immediately glinted in his eyes.
He quickly glanced over Shen Ziming and focused his gaze on Chen Sheng.
His eyes glinted with a hint of admiration.
The next second,
The tribal chief raised his arm.
Seeing this action, more confusion welled up in Chen Sheng’s mind.
This tribal chief-
He didn’t give the impression of being very intelligent.
However, following that,
His actions left Chen stunned with surprise.
The tribal chief opened his mouth, revealing two rows of bright white teeth.
Then,
He gave a thumbs-up to Chen Sheng.
“You, are very good.”
The behavior of the tribal chief,
Coupled with his previous nonsensical comment,
Increased Chen Sheng’s conviction of his own inner suspicion. Perhaps Chen Sheng’s strange gaze prompted him, The Chief paused for a few seconds before speaking again.
“I’m not him.”
His finger pointed to the mural on the wall, depicting the tribal chief holding a thunderbolt and roaring into the sky.
“I’m me.”
“I’m Xiao Hei.”
He reached out his hand, and with a squelching sound, his arm transformed once again into a black liquid.
Only then did Chen Sheng understand his meaning.
In his eyes,
Immediately flashed a hint of surprise.
Even though he had previously speculated,
He never thought the black liquid truly possesses its own consciousness.
At the same time,
Chen Sheng, observing his own liquid arm, felt a growing sense of unease. With his current state, his life most likely lay in the hands of the other. “Then what do you mean by telling us not to leave in a hurry?” The one who asked this was Shen Ziming standing next to him.
But,
To his question,
Xiao Hei seemed to turn a deaf ear, as if oblivious to his query.
This instantly left Shen Ziming feeling awkward.
“I was about to ask the same thing.”
It was only after Chen Sheng voiced the same question that Xiao Hei responded again. “Hybrid, haven’t arrived yet.”
Hybrid?
Chen Sheng didn’t expect Xiao Hei, despite his somewhat dull appearance, could just bluntly insult someone. “You mean that old man?” He immediately asked.
Xiao Hei nodded his head.
“A hybrid of a Heavenly Person and a human.”
“I despise hybrids.”
Upon saying this,
Xiao Hei’s face contorted with disgust and anger.
No matter how one looked, it was extremely strange, as if he had just learned how to manage facial expressions.
Hearing this,
Chen Sheng had no reaction, but Shen Ziming standing behind him, had an odd expression on his face.
Now he knew why the other didn’t even want to acknowledge him when he spoke.
Truth to be told, he was also a hybrid, as referred to by Xiao Hei.
“So, why did you bring us all the way here?”
Chen Sheng voiced the doubt in his heart.
“I like you very much.”
“You resemble my master.”
Smiling once again, Xiao Hei explained.
“I have something to give you.”
By saying so,
The black liquid on the floor of the grand hall squirmed, continuously merging into his body from his feet.
After a few breaths,
Xiao Hei extended his palm.
Three stones, the size of a fingernail, emitting a dense glow, appeared in his hand.
On seeing these stones,
Chen Sheng looked over at Shen Ziming,
Both their eyes simultaneously lit up with delight.
That’s right.
This was the aim of their journey.
The Qi Jie Stone..
