Chapter 443: Hunting The Hidden.
Hao Ren stopped bothering the dog, his strength had scared the shit out of the Hellhound. He took the shortest path to the Labyrinth hall, he came to the reception counter, and looking at the surroundings he didn't find any inkling where anyone might have completed the quest of hunting the hidden boss.
He went to the entrance and then headed to the first floor. As he came to the floor, he realized that everyone had to start from the first floor always, regardless where they exist, they have to go through the first floor. The young man frowned and looking around he suddenly asked, 'Oi, system, if I use the Eye of Insight to inspect this place, will I find a clue?'
*That depends on your effort, kid. I am not controlling it.*
Hao Ren clicked his tongue, he realized that this guy was slacking again. Thinking about it, he used the Yin and Yang eyes to look around the place, and detected the core of the array that was used to stabilize this place. Then he thought for a second, and mumbled, 'Eye of Insight.'
Suddenly he saw the reason behind the array. It turned out, this was a multiple use array formation. This thing worked as an isolation barrier, stacked upon a spirit gathering and a minor illusion array. The gist of this array lay in the fact that the core was not the area where most of the energy would be concentrated. This zone was shifting, like a floating island.
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Ingenious, hiding the trial inside the Labyrinth in a way that nobody would be able to sense it. Such a trick could really nurture some experts."
The system said, *Triggering a task, for every Hidden boss you kill, you will get a lottery ticket. The rewards will give you a chance that will change your life.*
Hao Ren chuckled and asked, "What more can be changed in my life?"
*Imagine if you earned a Supreme Spirit Stone for every time you asked me shit, you might be able to buy the entire world.*
Hao Ren sensed a twitch develop on his face, and then he put the topic aside and moved through the floor with a quick speed, and came to the place where the spiritual energy was concentrated to the limit. It was at least three times thicker than the rest of the floor.
Hao Ren used his Yin and Yang eyes and found a red gorilla, sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. The young man frowned and mumbled, "Fucking hell, this guy is two thousand year old and he is cultivating even now. I might die if I fought him."
However, he still took out his sword and said, "Old Sir, would you care for a duel?"
His voice broke through to the barrier and the Red Gorilla opened his eyes. The beast turned to look at Hao Ren and asked with surprise, "Human, you can see me?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Yes, Senior. I can see you."
The Gorilla stood up from the ground and approached Hao Ren, just when they were fifty meters away from each other the barrier vanished, and they faced each other face to face. The Gorilla looked at Hao Ren and said, "Do you know how long it has been since I have been trapped in this hell hole? Do you know what is going on in my mind? I want to go out and kill all the humans."
The young man took a deep breath and said, "I understand and agree with your rage. However, now is not the time. The person responsible for all this is still trapped on the last floor with the Severance Dragon. If you wish to punish someone, punish him, the rest of the people are just devices to his plan, weak in mind and body."
The gorilla was stunned, because Hao Ren used the soothsaying skill. The beast growled and broke the technique, Hao Ren sighed and snapped his finger as he said, "Shut up."
He used a higher level hypnotism technique. The Gorilla calmed down, and Hao Ren wanted to talk to the beast about how to cooperate, when he noticed that the being was struggling hard. The young man said, "Despite two thousand years, the wisdom and intelligence is only slightly better, the temper is arrogant and aggressive."
He waved his sword and the head of the beast slowly slipped off its shoulders before landing on the ground with a dull thud. The young man collected the beast corpse in his space ring, and turned around. Just at this moment, a wave of energy passed through the floor.
Hao Ren looked around and then he sensed a change in the Dao fluctuations of the place. He raised his brows and then moved to the second floor. He came to the second floor and found that he could not use the same trick as he used on the floor upstairs.
He asked, 'System, my lord, can we please upgrade Eye of Insight? Do you really want me to spend another hundred days on this shitty assignment? My wife is alone at home for fuck's sake.'
*You can exchange the lottery that you won earlier in exchange for an upgrade to the Eye of Insight.*
Hao Ren thought about it and said, "Exchange, now!"
*Good, Eye Of Insight can be used ten times a day.*
The young man quickly used the eye of insight and located the hidden zone, he found that the arrays were slightly different from each other, and thus he had to use the eye of insight. This skill may look like a way to unlock the secret doors, but it actually taught him a lot of things. The young man located the beast boss on the second floor, and tried to talk to it, but he found that the Tiger was also very low level intelligent and thus he had no choice but to kill it.
Moving on, he found beasts on ten floors, and discovered that they were all almost the same, aggressive and man-eating. He could not let them go out and kill people without even getting a fair chance to save themselves.
He finished using his eye of insight and it was time he called back home using the messaging talismans. He went out of the reception counter with a smile on his face and knocked the back of his fingers on the counter, and a young lady came over smiling, "Hello, how can I help you, Senior?"
Hao Ren took off the space ring and said, "I want to sell all that is inside this ring, it would be nice if you can call your elders to assess the material."
The lady nodded and she picked up the ring before scanning the content inside. When she did, her eyes opened wide, so big that they almost fell off, her face turned pale and she said, "Senior, I will call the Chief right away."
She dashed off like a bullet taking off, and after a few moments, she came over with an old man who had more white hair then the annual snowfall.
He picked up the ring and after checking the content inside, he took a deep breath and said, "I will get you the best deal. Please tell me what you want."
Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "Sword Manuals, all classes, all ranks, all elements, I want them all, as many as you can collect. The content is yours."
The old man gulped and said, "I will get you a thousand books on sword Dao tomorrow."
Then with both hands he returned the ring to Hao Ren and the latter said, "I will be coming tomorrow, so I hope you have the things ready by then."
The old man nodded and then Hao Ren turned and left the place. The old man let out a sigh and a young elder walked over and asked, "Elder Chan, why were you acting so polite to that young man?"
Elder Chan turned to look at a middle-aged man and said, "You just came to the city by sky, and you have no idea how he fended off against the five heads. Then he joined the Dragon Hall, at this moment, the amount of beast corpses he has is around two thousand. Can you understand the gravity of the situation here? He is a beast, and now with Old Gun supporting him, none of the people could prove any foul play on how he got those corpses. So, I had to drag it and leave it for tomorrow."
…
Hao Ren walked through the street, and he could see the people trailing along, heading to deal with their own things, and just when he reached the gates of the Dragon Hall, he found elder Shen cleaning up the garden. He approached the old man and asked, "Why are you working under a dog?"
The old man sighed and replied, "I have some bad blood and thus, I was taken in to serve till I have made up for my mistakes."
What do you think?
