Chapter 1303: Monster from Dark River

An entire kingdom entombed under the desert sand.

The hall they were in was completely sealed off, the doors and windows were plugged and there seemed to be no way out.

Somehow, Chen Xiaobei always managed to find a way around situations like this.

Using the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes again, Chen Xiaobei discovered a secret passage.

Chen Xiaobei walked to the nearest statue and pushed it aside.

Beneath, it was a flight of stairs leading down!

“Follow closely behind me!”

Chen Xiaobei reminded before walking down the steps.

Zhuo Qunfeng and Luo Puti followed closely.

The stairs were levelled and the walls had been repaired. It appeared as though this secret passage was often used.

As they went deeper down, they heard the faint sounds of water trickling.

“Water! It’s water! I hear it!” Zhuo Qunfeng was so parched that he wanted to just fly down the steps and get himself drunk with water.

“This must be the legendary Cidu Dark River!” Luo Puti said.

“Dark River? What is that?” Chen Xiaobei asked, curious.

Luo Puti explained, “During the prehistoric times, where there was water, there was civilization. To name a few, the Yellow River, the Indian Rive and the Ganges, the Babylonian River, and the Nile River! All four are birthplaces to the world’s biggest ancient civilizations! Similarly, the 36 kingdoms in Xijiang relied on this river, the Cidu Dark River! All 36 of these kingdoms were built along this river. You could even say that this river is the mother river of the Xijiang people! The birthplace of the Xijiang civilization!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded; he finally saw the bigger picture.

When they finally reached the bottom of the stairwell, they were greeted by a giant gapping cave.

The cave was a cylindrical shaped tunnel. You could not see the end from the entrance, and there was no way of telling how long it was.

The sounds of water that they heard came from within the cave.

It was a 20 meter wide underground river with running water, and it sounded like it was coming from a source and flowing somewhere else.

Chen Xiaobei stood by the bank, examined its smell and colour to determine if it was safe.

Zhuo Qunfeng dove right into the water and gulped down greedily until he was contented. He dunked his entire body in the coolness of the water and was reluctant to come ashore.

“Now that we’ve found the water, the next thing we need to do is find the Jingjue Kingdom!” Luo Puti said.

Jingjue Kingdom was the biggest, most powerful kingdom amongst the 36 kingdoms in Xijiang. Finding that place meant being able to unlock all secrets!

Luo Puti had a very strong hunch that she could find clues to her locate missing parents once she finds the Jingjue Kingdom.

Zhuo Qunfeng’s goal was no different either. “It would be great if we can find Jingjue Kingdom! Legend has it that the Queen of Jingjue was a demigod! All the other 35 kingdoms submit to her! The Jingjue Ancient Faction that she built was used to store all the treasures and resources she plundered from the other 35 kingdoms! Just imagine thousands of years’ worth of treasure! Since the ancient times, kingdoms, factions, aristocrats and all sorts of authoritative parties have searched high and low for Jingjue Ancient Faction. All of which, were hoping to get their hands on this Queen’s resources! Just think about what could happen if we can find it! Man, it’s going to be crazy!”

Zhuo Qunfeng flapped around in the water ecstatically like a child.

“Well… I happen to know how to find Jingjue Ancient Faction!” Chen Xiaobei said offhandedly.

Luo Puti and Zhuo Qunfeng immediately stopped whatever they were doing and stared dumbfoundedly at Chen Xiaobei.

“You know a way? How is that even possible?” Zhuo Qunfeng asked.

“Xiaobei! This is a serious matter! Quit joking around!” Luo Puti did not believe him either.

“Oh, my silly wife! Why would I make a joke like that?” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “The idea was inspired by you! Haven’t you figured it out?”

“Inspired by me? Since when? What have I done?”

Luo Puti was even more confused now.

“Dumbo! You said so yourself that the 36 kingdoms were all built along the river! All we need to do is follow the river and keep walking towards the center of Black Desert, then we’ll be able to find it!”

“Oh… You’re right! That’s right! Why didn’t I think of it?” Luo Puti exclaimed.

“My god! Mr. Chen! You really are a genius! This idea may be a little troublesome but it will definitely work! No matter how strong Jingjue Kingdom was, they still would’ve needed water!” Zhuo Qunfeng said.

“Let’s make a move now!” Luo Puti said impatiently.

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I’m fine with anything. After all, those group of idiots won’t be of any help to us. I can’t be bothered to wait for them.”

Zhuo Qunfeng began to worry upon hearing this. “Mr. Chen, we’d better wait for them! Without your guidance and your help, I’m afraid they might get into trouble!”

Before Chen Xiaobei could respond, there was a sudden movement in the water.

Zhuo Qunfeng was still in the water. “What ‘s that?” He cried.

“Get out! Now!” Chen Xiaobei grabbed him by the collar and dragged him ashore.

Boom!

A large red mouth pierced through the water surface where Zhuo Qunfeng was. If it was quicker by half a second, it would have swallowed Zhuo Qunfeng down its belly!

“What… What is that thing…”

All three of them gawked at the creature that appeared so suddenly.

The creature resembled a Chinese salamander, but its head was at least a hundred times bigger!

Its torso was about 10 meters long, and its limbs were as thick as tree trunks. The thickest part of its body could even be compared to that of an oil tanker! It was definitely a freak of nature; a giant monster!

“Rooooooarrrrr!”

The creature opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar at the three humans gawking at it. Its scarlet cavity threatened to swallow all three of them whole!

Luo Puti and Zhuo Qunfeng trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Only Chen Xiaobei understood what the creature was saying –’You stupid humans! How dare you encroach my territory! Get ready to be my breakfast!’

He even used the Netherspirit Battlescouter to scan out the creature’s strength, and found that its combat power had reached 120,000.

It was undoubtedly strong, but Chen Xiaobei could still handle it.

After much contemplating, Chen Xiaobei decided to coax some information out of the creature. He spoke in Zoolingualism, “Hang on! Let’s talk first!”

“Huh?” The creature was taken aback. “You can speak Zoolingualism?”
