Chapter 933 - Huangliang Despairs

Chapter 933: Huangliang Despairs
Huangliang City.
This gate appeared within the ruins of an abandoned city, only those who stood near where the gate appeared could notice the shimmering light from the gate. For such a gate to appear after a disaster, everyone vaguely guessed what this was. A Great Despair finally revealed itself.

Huangliang Despairs…


One of the legendary Nine Great Despairs!


The most mysterious Despair.

Everyone’s eyes shone.
Having heard what those in Taihu Territory experienced, there should be quite a number of people here who were excited with the appearance of a Great Despair, right?

Should I go?

Su Hao looked at the mysterious gate in front of him before shifting his gaze toward Yang Zixi beside him before finally shook his head,
Forget about it, I won’t participate in the fun this time around.

He didn’t have any interest in the so-called secret technique of boundary spirit.
For him, what he lacked was never boundary spirits but Rule Force. Besides, the most important matter now was to gather more talents and step into the world realm. This trip to Huangliang City alone had allowed him to gather three new talents in a single day, and he had seven more to collect.
At such timing, it was needless to join the fun.

Then, I won’t go too.
Zheng Tai said in a regretful tone.
He was aware of his own strength. In such a place full of world espers, the dangers were to the extreme. If Su Hao didn’t wish to go, as a domain esper, he had no right to join the fun.
Both agreed and prepared to leave.
However, they didn’t imagine that several members of the Origin Ability Association would approach them and ask Su Hao smilingly,
Wu Ming, we’re sorry, but could you follow us on this trip?


Huh?

Su Hao and Zheng Tai were both stunned for a second.

Well, after all, you had experience in Taihu Territory and know what might happen in a Great Despair. To guide the way for everyone might be better for everyone.
That man said with a hint of embarrassment,
Plus, I am sure the key members of Nine Snakes would be inside, and I’m afraid we need your help.


Yes, that makes sense.

The others seconded.

There could be members of Nine Snakes inside. We must not do things half-heartedly.


Let’s go together.


There are so many treasures inside, don’t you want them?


Those people of Nine Snakes, they are full of wickedness. If they’re spared, we can’t imagine what kind of things they might plan next. Maybe in the future, their target would be someone else’s hometown, how dangerous would it be then?

One after another, everyone tried to change his mind.

It’s over.

Zheng Tai, who was beside Su Hao, felt a bit dizzy.
Although these people were stating in a polite manner, it was so clear that they were being intimidated. Each word of theirs carried a soft knife that sounded kind from outside but vicious inside. Su Hao just saved them a moment ago. In front of a Great Despair, they could immediately change their attitude. How could a human act in such a spiteful way?
Moreover, Zheng Tai could be considered as one who knew quite well of Su Hao’s temper.
Wu Ming?
Who is this Wu Ming you’re talking about?!
This wasn’t anyone but Su Hao, who massacred many along his path to reach his current state!
How would he accept such a threat? Zheng Tai could imagine a huge battle is about to erupt. Thinking of this, Zheng Tai subconsciously took out his dagger.
The huge battle, once it begins…

Alright then.
Su Hao nodded with a smile.

Puff~

Zheng Tai almost spat out blood. He actually agreed to their threat?! Such an obvious threat, yet he couldn’t realize it. Perhaps he got tempted? How could he agree to their threat?!
Is this still the same Su Hao?

Actually, I wish to go too.
Su Hao smiled and looked at Yang Zixi, who was pulling on him,
It’s just that I have to be responsible for this little girl. Can you help me to send her back? She still has an upcoming concert today.


Alright.

Everyone rejoiced.
The Origin Ability Association soon sent someone to send Yang Zixi back home. Of course, before leaving, one could still hear a goodbye from a certain girl to Su Hao,
Don’t forget what you promised me.

Su Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
With the departure of Yang Zixi, those going to enter Huangliang Despairs had basically settled down. With the Origin Ability Association leading the team and the rest consisting of those rogue world espers, what made one shocked was this time around, a total of fifty people participated in the exploration! It was much stronger than the time in Taihu Territory.
Of course, some espers also decided against participating.
The previous exploration in Taihu Territory had resulted in a lot of casualties. After all, some didn’t wish to take the risk.
Soon, those who were supposed to leave had all left. Those remaining here were those who are going to participate in the exploration, and other members of the Origin Ability Association. Those other members were arranged to guard the area and prevent others from stepping in. After everything was done, did this huge exploration team step in front of the gate.
Out of fifty espers, only Zheng Tai alone was a domain esper.
However, he had the guts to join the exploration because he believed in Su Hao, and the other reason was his absolute confidence in his ability to survive. After all, his talent…
Zheng Tai stayed close to Su Hao.
Creakkkk!
The mysterious bronze color door slowly opened.
It was dark inside. With only a faint source of light, everyone walked in carefully. Just as everyone stepped inside, the exploration in this Great Despair officially began. In this endless dimness, only Zheng Tai, who was closest to Su Hao, noticed the cold light in Su Hao’s eyes.
In the end, he was in fact mad.
Zheng Tai came to an understanding.
The other identity he had, Wu Ming was a kind man, helpful, and willing to sacrifice for others. Thus, the Origin Ability Association took advantage of his character for granted. However, no one here would have imagined what kind of act he did in Taihu Territory. How dare they try to threaten him?

Oh Great Despair.

Su Hao felt a headache coming.
The role setting of Wu Ming seemed to have been overdone. With how powerful the Origin Ability Association is, they didn’t even bother with Su Hao’s opinion. The legendary Huangliang Despairs revealed itself, and they would never let such a chance slip away. This was why they used all sorts of reasoning to persuade Su Hao to stay. Although they sounded polite…
However, even Zheng Tai could sense the threat, let alone him!
That was nothing but a threat!
They really thought of Wu Ming as one who was kind and could be mistreated?
The moment the Origin Ability Association voiced out, Su Hao already knew he couldn’t hide. If he rejected, that would not meet the character setting of Wu Ming. Moreover, when the time comes, the Origin Ability Association might even resort to underhanded methods to make him stay. If so, that would be troublesome.
Thus, in an instant, Su Hao made his decision.
He would tag along!
Although this was a bit risky, a crisis would always coexist with opportunities. The number of Nine Snakes members that had entered Huangliang Despairs was unknown. If there were seven of them, perhaps he could directly step into the world realm? Not to forget, there were those hidden treasures in Huangliang Despairs too.
This was one of the reasons.
As for the second one, Su Hao still couldn’t get rid of a vague worry.
It was a little vague but always existed. What was the purpose of Nine Snakes? Why did they decide to open Huangliang Despairs with the death of three million souls? Could it be there were hidden things in this Great Despair that they were searching for? Su Hao didn’t think that Nine Snakes would do irrelevant things.
Nine Snakes, there must definitely be a big conspiracy going on!
Except…
What exactly were they plotting?

Let’s go and have a look then.
Su Hao whispered to himself.
Moreover, if it wasn’t troublesome, he didn’t mind achieving another goal of his while he was at it. Although the Origin Ability Association has always been low-key, having hid for so long, those members seemed to have a strong sense of superiority as if no other force existed. Perhaps, it was the right time now for them to take a hit.
Everyone moved forward slowly.
No one knew in just a blink of an eye, how many times Su Hao changed his mind. If Su Hao’s plan were to be known to the Origin Ability Association, they would probably regret inviting Su Hao. Following the dim light ray, this temporary team finally entered Huangliang Despairs.
A few seconds later, everyone was finally able to adapt to the brightness here.
Each one of them was an esper. The dim light in the scene couldn’t hinder their vision. Glancing around, they noticed this was a spacious underground passage.
As for the floor under their feet, it was made of bluestone tiles.
Surrounding them were heavy rock walls with mysterious lines engraved on them. It vaguely revealed a terrifying aura that no one dared to rush forward and touch them.
To put it in simple words, this was a one-way path.
Tick~
A water drop landed on the ground.
This empty passage was so quiet that the sound of the water hitting the ground seemed deafening.

A sewer?

Nope.
Whether it was those bluestone tiles, the surrounding rock walls, or those mysterious lines engraved above, one could tell that this was a place that had been crafted carefully with a lot of effort. Even if it were by a designer, no one would be so bored to build a sewer with such a grand design.
Plus, since when is a sewer this spacious?

Ah!

Just when everyone was pondering about it, there was a cry coming from behind.

What happened?

The crowd quickly turned around.

Exit… We can’t leave anymore.

That cry was from the last man behind. After coming in, when he turned around, he noticed that Huangliang Despairs shut itself after everyone entered!
The crowd subconsciously looked at Su Hao.

Taihu Territory was also like that.
Su Hao said indifferently,
There was a time limit for the opening of Taihu Territory, and no one is allowed to enter after that. Seems that the case applies to Huangliang Despairs too. Of course, there might be a different scenario. For example, those members of Huangliang Despairs who entered earlier controlled the switch gate.

Swish!
Everyone shuddered.
Su Hao’s last words scared the hell out of everyone that they had cold sweat.

Of course, such a possibility is very small.

Su Hao causally connected the second half of his sentence, which then made them relieved. If Nine Snakes could control the switch gate, what about other places then?
Facing such a dilemma, who wouldn’t be afraid?
Because right now, there was no other route but forward!
Not reaching the end, only death awaited them!
Plus, those peak domain espers of Nine Snakes were already so powerful that it was outrageous. What about those world espers of Nine Snakes then?
Everyone had some regrets. They shouldn’t have come in rashly earlier.
In this quiet underground passage, everyone proceeded more cautiously. Such a scene with so many world espers in a team walking carefully with each step was unimaginable. The passage was very long. What accompanied them was the sound of water dripping, which kept their minds intact in this quiet space.
Crack!
A strange sound interrupted the water droplet rhythm. The crowd instantly became wary and alert. Something is coming here!
Swish!
Swish!
The passage suddenly had the sound of wind.
That thing was getting faster and faster. Everyone could even hear a heavy gasp. Their heart beat violently and, dimly from afar, two lantern-like objects suddenly appeared. It was red like blood, and those were actually two huge eyes!
