Chapter 50
50 Abyss-Level Tower of Trials (1)
Wu Shi raised his head and looked at Chu Bai.
However, this time, his attitude was very good.
“You’re here to see the boss?” Wu Shi asked.
“He’s inside. The boss said that if you come, you can just go in directly.”
“Thanks.”
Then, Chu Bai walked in.
Huang Xin was sitting there and reading a book.
“Miss Shao.”
Huang Xin raised her head and looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes.
Every time Chu Bai saw Huang Xin, he could not help but be amazed.
This woman was really too beautiful, and she had a kind of temperament that made her master the ups and downs of life. She was probably a person with an important position outside.
“Hmm, why aren’t you going to the trial?” Huang Xin asked.
“I’m here to say goodbye to you. I also have a question to ask.”
“Go ahead.”
Chu Bai asked, “I want to know the way to return to the starter village. I heard from the village chief that you came here 15 years ago, and the village has existed for 10,000 years. No one can leave, and no one from the outside can enter. You’re the only person from the outside world to come here in 10,000 years.”
Huang Xin muttered, “The way to return here?”
“You won’t be able to come back.” She shook her head.
“Why? Didn’t you come back from outside?”
Huang Xin said, “To be honest, from what I know, there’s no way to return. I was able to come here because of a great battle. I was seriously injured and wanted to escape. At that time, my opponent used some unknown method, causing me to disappear from the Land of Destiny and come here instead.
“If you wish to return, there is a way. But not many people on the continent know about it.”
“I see. So, I just need to find the person who hurt you back then to know the way back to the starter village, right?”
“Right!” Huang Xin nodded.
“Who is it?”
“The emperor of the Godfall Empire,” Huang Xin said.
“Thank you, Miss Shao.” Chu Bai nodded.
“You’re welcome. Go and train. The outside world is very exciting, but you have to be careful. That person is very sinister.”
“Understood. I’ll take my leave, then.”
Chu Bai turned around and left.
“Wait,” Huang Xin called out to Chu Bai.
She then stood up in a noble and elegant manner.
“If you ever have the chance to come back, I have a presumptuous request.”
“Please speak.”
“Although I don’t know how to get out of here, if you can come back, I hope you can find a way to bring me out. I only have half a year’s time.”
It was obvious that she wanted to leave this place.
[Ding. You’ve triggered the only hidden quest in the starter village: help Huang Xin leave the starter village. Quest time limit: half a year. Mission reward: unknown. Mission punishment: none. Do you accept?]
“Alright.” Chu Bai nodded.
[Ding. You’ve successfully accepted the mission.]
“Sorry to trouble you. Take this.”
Huang Xin then handed Chu Bai a token.
Chu Bai took it.
[Ding. You’ve received a recruitment order.]
[Recruitment order. Grade: celestial. This is a recruitment order that belongs to the Godfall Empire. The holder of this order can summon 10,000 golden guards for their use. Usage: one.]
“If you go to the Divine Phoenix Empire, this token might be able to give you some help.”
“Thank you, Miss Huang.”
“You’re welcome. Go ahead. The trial requires quite a lot of potions. Go to the front desk and get some.”
“Thank you, Miss Huang. I’ll take my leave.”
Chu Bai left Huang Xin’s place.
Huang Xin looked at Chu Bai’s departing figure and muttered to herself, “In my current state, I can only hold on for half a year. Although it’s almost impossible, I still believe in this slim chance of survival…”
