Chapter 129: Chapter 102: The Secret of Corpse Mountain

In the darkness.

A female voice with murderous intent rose from the lofty throne:

"What a wonderful young man, welcome to my palace."

Wu Xiaode pressed for time, hurriedly asked, "Hello, do you have any brothers or sisters?"

——Say two more sentences, and she would throw herself to be fed to the eggs.

He must get straight to the point right from the start!

The woman’s voice clearly paused, then repeated, "Brothers and sisters?"

"Yes, are you an only child?" Wu Xiaode pressed on.

He could now be certain.

The voice of the Black Dragon that had been slain by the flying sword matched this woman’s voice exactly.

There was only one thing to confirm immediately.

This woman was that Black Dragon, or instead, she had brothers and sisters.

"...I am a unique existence, how could there be anyone to replace me?" the woman asked, perplexed.

"I see." Wu Xiaode let out a sigh of relief.

The mirrored images of the fairies were woven based on the experiences of all Heroic Spirits.

In these archived mirrored images, "the slaying of the Black Dragon" had not occurred!

So it still existed in this dark palace.

"Why do you ask this question? Did you encounter another existence as powerful as me?" the woman inquired.

"Yes, there is a woman as strong as you," Wu Xiaode affirmed.

"Oh? What race does she belong to?" the woman asked with interest.

"She can transform into a scorpion, a two-headed snake, and a black dragon," Wu Xiaode said.

The woman suddenly stood up, her tone turning dark as she said, "Come up here and talk."

Wu Xiaode had no time to react; he felt his body move, crossing hundreds of meters in distance, and appeared right in front of the huge throne.

A woman in a black long dress sat on the throne.

Her face was covered with a black veil, making it hard to see her features, but her pupils emitted a faint red glow, appearing quite imposing.

"Speak—tell me everything you know," the woman demanded in a low voice.

Wu Xiaode suddenly found himself unable to move.

It was at that moment, the green spear in his hand suddenly emitted a glow, quickly infusing into his body.

The power of the spear was activated!

Yes, as a Holy Witch Hunter, the spear in his hand had been subjected to the powers of many Great Witches over the years, harboring an extremely malicious curse.

Even the One-eyed Giant had to be cautious, fearing the activation of some probability.

Right now, the Black Dragon could have killed him on the spot, but because the content of the dialog piqued its curiosity, it did not act at that moment and instead brought him in front of itself—

And unlucky for it, the kind of magic that bound people had awakened the power on the spear!

Maybe it had never been so careless in its life!

But there was no help for it.

As the Dark Dragon, it could change into three forms for battle, each one a secret it would never reveal normally.

Yet this stranger had called out all its forms in one go!

No wonder it was so eager to find out the reason.

The spear shuddered.

Wu Xiaode instantly regained his freedom.

He hesitated not a moment in hurling the spear in his hands—

Flying Spear Curse: Life Judgement!

The woman reacted too, screaming and spewing out darkness intense flames that swept through the entire palace.

Boom!

The spear was burnt to ashes in an instant.

Wu Xiaode was also completely engulfed by the Dark Fiery Flame, leaving the mirrored image world directly.

He reappeared in the hospital hallway.

"Hiss—"

Wu Xiaode drew a sharp breath, soothing the pain of being devoured by the flames.

Just now.

The spear had been thrown, but the determinative second that would have slain the powerful creature did not take effect.

So he was killed.

——It hurt so badly.

He really didn’t want to face that terrifying individual again.

Wu Xiaode shook his head.

In reality, the Black Dragon had already been slain by the Sword Immortal.

So when he managed to reach the Death Demon Cave again, and if he took Nina through the tunnels, they would enter a Dark Palace without the Black Dragon.

What would happen then?

Only by slaying the Black Dragon within the mirrored images could such a situation arise.

Or maybe he could extract some information from the Black Dragon inside the mirror to better handle such a scenario.

Thinking about it this way, he decided he had to give it a try.

He must try!

"Count me in," Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth and said.

Swoosh—

He disappeared again, reappearing in the Death Demon Cave.

"Listen, you big guy on Corpse Mountain, I’m going to that tunnel now, I hope you won’t stop me," he said, slinging the spear over his shoulder.

A deep red beam streaked towards him, instantly disintegrating his flesh and bones.

In the hospital hallway.

"Hiss—"

Wu Xiaode drew a sharp breath, once again sitting on the chair.

He had been careless.

Just because he hadn’t posed for an attack, he was picked off by the One-eyed Giant.

Damn it.

The giant was always ready to kill; in its presence, he really couldn’t afford to let his guard down for a second.

"Count me in!" Wu Xiaode exclaimed angrily.

Swoosh—

He disappeared again.

Death Demon Cave.

"Listen, you big guy, I’m going to that tunnel right now, and if you disagree, I’ll unleash my most powerful move, regardless of the outcome," Wu Xiaode roared, holding up the green spear.

On Corpse Mountain.

The One-eyed Giant sat high up, unmoved, his gaze sweeping over him.

——No flaws.

This human was indeed ready for a do-or-die battle at any moment.

What a joke, the Holy Witch Hunter’s move was a matter of probability.

Why did he take the risk?

"Go ahead, I couldn’t care less about you," said the One-eyed Giant, squinting lazily.

Wu Xiaode stepped back to the entrance of the hole and with a leap, he jumped down.

He reached the Black Dragon as he had done before and was grabbed by it and taken in front of the throne.

"Die!"

Wu Xiaode hurled the spear in his hand at the first chance he got.

Boom——

The woman expelled surging Dark Intense Flames that completely engulfed the palace.

"Ahhhh!"

Wu Xiaode screamed as he appeared in the hospital corridor.

"Little Wu, are you okay?"

Xia Ni asked with concern.

"I’m fine, ah, damn it, why won’t that guy trigger the probability when he’s so strong?" Wu Xiaode said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"What are you doing?" asked Xia Ni, curious.

"Hmm— it’s like playing a kind of gamble," shrugged Wu Xiaode.

"Bad luck?" Xia Ni asked.

"Yeah, bad luck," replied Wu Xiaode.

Xia Ni picked up a cold can of Coke, opened it, and handed it over to Wu Xiaode.

"You need to calm down, rest a bit, drink some water, and try again when you’re refreshed," she said with a sweet smile.

"Okay, thanks a lot, Xia Ni," Wu Xiaode replied.

He guzzled the Coke in large gulps, rested on the chair for a while, reflected on everything once more, and then declared:

"Add me in!"

Whoosh——

He reappeared in the Death Demon Cave.

Being cautious of the One-eyed Giant, he safely traversed the tunnel pathway and reached the Dark Palace. He distracted the woman who was the incarnation of the Black Dragon with his words and was brought before the throne——

"Die!"

Wu Xiaode threw the spear in his hand with a shout.

The woman’s expression changed drastically as she opened her mouth to spew Dark Intense Flames.

But this time it was different.

Suddenly, a green snake appeared on the spear, vanished into thin air, then reappeared around the woman’s neck.

It swiftly bit her on the neck.

The black flames emanating from the woman’s mouth instantly dissipated, freezing her body on the throne, motionless.

The spear pierced through her chest in an instant.

"Ah... damn humans... this can’t be possible!" the woman cursed in shock.

Countless phantasms appeared behind her.

At the same time, Wu Xiaode heard continuous bursting sounds echoing through the great hall.

He turned around.

Unknown when, the great hall had filled with giant black eggs, densely packed, covering the whole hall, each starting to crack open.

"You can’t kill me! Damn Holy Witch Hunter!" the woman screamed shrilly.

Wu Xiaode grabbed the spear tightly and whispered, "I didn’t really want to kill you, I just want to know what’s really going on here."

"You, wanting to know such secrets?" the woman sneered.

She muttered a spell under her breath and finally reached out to grasp the spear.

Suddenly.

A grand sound came from deep within the walls:

"Dark Dragon, your situation doesn’t seem too good."

—That was the One-eyed Giant’s voice!

The woman’s face changed, and she cursed, "Damn it, I knew this guy wanted to take advantage—"

Her gaze fell on Wu Xiaode, and she hesitated as if wanting to say something.

Wu Xiaode suddenly realized.

No wonder the One-eyed Giant didn’t stop him from entering the hole.

The giant was hoping he would trouble the Black Dragon!

It was coveting the Black Dragon!

"Damn Holy Witch Hunter, do you want to know the secrets here?"

"Listen well, once the One-eyed Giant enters my palace, you immediately return to its demon cave."

"You have to split Corpse Mountain open, find the bronze door hidden under Corpse Mountain, that is your only chance to leave," the woman kept transmitting her thoughts via telepathy.

"Would you really be so kind as to tell me?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You can bet— if you stay, I’d fight to the death just to kill you first, because you’re the biggest uncertainty," the woman continued telepathically.

"Once I leave your palace, it would mean the source of your Flying Spear Curse is gone, and you’d be able to cure it quickly," said Wu Xiaode.

"Exactly, once you’re gone I can deal with the giant with peace of mind, and you will gain the secret you desire!" the woman transmitted urgently.

Boom Boom Boom——

Heavy thuds came from the walls.

Wu Xiaode and the woman silently locked gazes.

Yes, her asking him to leave was part of her strategy.

After all, he was here to uncover the secrets.

If he left, she could confront the One-eyed Giant without worry.

Two birds with one stone.

Why should he refuse?

Unless his goal was to kill her.

If his purpose was indeed that, then she’d definitely kill him first before facing the One-eyed Giant.

It was what she had to do to survive!

Right now, the situation before them was crystal clear, with no possibility of misjudgment.

Boom!!!

Huge sections of the wall began to collapse.

Wu Xiaode turned his head and immediately saw the One-eyed Giant’s ugly face peering out from behind the collapsed wall.

It cautiously surveyed the Dark Palace and finally saw the scene on the throne.

"Hahaha, Dark Dragon, how could you be hurt by a mere human? This is really beyond my expectations," the One-eyed Giant said with disbelief.

—Even the strongest Holy Witch Hunter couldn’t just approach the Dark Dragon so easily, much less seize the timing to activate a probability and then actually hit the Dark Dragon successfully.

This was a miracle!

Or perhaps...

It was a trick?

The One-eyed Giant focused sharply, staring intently at the woman’s wound.

No problem, it was real.

This was indeed a miracle.

The opportunity was too good...

The murderous intent began to seethe throughout the One-eyed Giant’s body.
