81: Chapter 81 Entering the Black Fiend Palace

"You've got a lot of nerve standing there talking without feeling the pressure, huh? Don't you see they all have weapons?" Mu Cheng looked ahead.

They were indeed the Little Orc Race, not even a meter tall, entirely green from head to toe, each one looking exactly like the others.

Without looking carefully, you couldn't tell the difference...

However, judging by their attire, they resembled savages more, dressed in simple clothes made of animal hides.

"Be careful. Their weapons don't seem that simple." Chu Yaoyao dared not be the slightest bit careless.

Even though they were blackwood bows, blackwood spears, blackwood clubs... etc., which looked quite ordinary, in their hands, they certainly wouldn't be as simple as they appeared on the surface.

"Of course. You two need to be careful." Peppa replied, yet remained completely unfazed.

Sure enough, after a moment, a dense barrage of black arrows flew towards Chu Yaoyao and Mu Cheng.

With such a wide-ranging attack, escape was impossible. The only option was to block it.

"Can you handle it? If not, find a place to hide." Chu Yaoyao casually flicked out a sword aura.

BOOM—!!

After a loud explosion, a pile of rubble ahead was completely shattered, but the Little Orc standing on the rubble was completely unharmed.

"Hey now! Asking that... Does a man need to be asked if he can handle it? Why don't you test and see if he can." When Peppa's mouth got venomous, it really made you want to slap it.

But right now, Mu Cheng... didn't have the time for that, also sending out one sword aura after another.

Only the result was the same; such attacks... were utterly useless against the Little Orc Race.

"Forget I asked... In this situation, we can only wait for them to run out of arrows." Chu Yaoyao was also quite speechless.

But indeed, as she said... they could only wait for the Little Orcs' arrows to be exhausted.

Peppa: "Use your brains a little, will you? Don't you realize you're continuously falling downwards? It's one thing for him not to use his brain... but even you're like this."

"No, he must have influenced you, otherwise how could it be like this?"

"This... How about we use the terrain and keep climbing up?" Mu Cheng had his objections, but the current circumstances didn't allow for it...

So he couldn't do anything about Peppa either.

"Be confident! Right now, we can only use the terrain." Chu Yaoyao instantly caught on.

Immediately utilizing the terrain, she dodged attacks while leaping upwards...

Mu Cheng had nothing to say and closely followed... What they never expected was that those Little Orcs.

Suddenly gave up chasing them...

"Could it be we've encountered danger?" Chu Yaoyao also felt it was quite strange, but couldn't pinpoint exactly why.

"Don't worry, the Little Orc Race hasn't followed!" Peppa was also rather puzzled.

But sensing no danger whatsoever... what could it do? Besides, the Black evil spirits Palace was right above, so of course it couldn't bother with anything else.

Unconsciously... the two had arrived at the highest island.

"This is really strange... There must be some danger!" The more Mu Cheng thought about it, the more something felt off.

Perfectly fine... why did they suddenly leave, and they reached the island so smoothly.

The island wasn't very large, and quite dilapidated. It looked like it had been there for a very long time.

Only, the black palace before them was indeed quite eerie... It looked as if it had just been repaired a few days ago.

"Yeah, we should still be careful!" Looking at the black palace ahead, Chu Yaoyao also became fully alert.

Peppa remained as unflustered as ever. "Will you two stop overthinking? Hurry up and go in..."

Actually, it also found it strange, but there was no time to dwell on this issue. It was better to enter the Black evil spirits Palace quickly.

Others might not know, but Peppa was well aware that this Black evil spirits Palace was very safe, and only Mu Cheng could break through the Talisman Array protecting it.

"We'll listen to you, let's go in." Chu Yaoyao also couldn't be bothered with these thoughts, strange as they were...

But looking at the Black evil spirits Palace ahead, which looked brand new, it must be quite safe. Otherwise, it would have long been in ruins.

But by the time she reacted, Mu Cheng was already ahead, and a protective barrier suddenly appeared...

This barrier enveloped the entire Black evil spirits Palace.

"As expected, it's not simple. Cut the chatter... quickly tell us how to get in." Mu Cheng asked directly.

At this moment, Chu Yaoyao also caught up. "Is there a way?"

"Of course there is. Hold hands, and let that kid release the Devouring Bloodline to cover you both." Peppa said it offhandedly.

As a result, Mu Cheng really grabbed Chu Yaoyao's hand, released his Bloodline Power, and directly passed through into the Black evil spirits Underground Palace.

Inside was a completely different world, a vast, enormous space with piles upon piles of star-glow crystals.

And not just star-glow crystals, there was also black gold iron stone of various ages, and of course, no shortage of energy sources...

Calling it a large treasure trove wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"This... is a bit too much. At least several billion star-glow crystals, if not more!" Mu Cheng was utterly stunned.

Chu Yaoyao suddenly felt a bit awkward and embarrassed, weakly saying,

"You... how long are you planning to hold my hand?"

From childhood till now... she had never held a boy's hand. This feeling was quite strange, yet she couldn't quite describe what it was.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Mu Cheng came to his senses

and hurriedly let go.

Peppa started causing trouble again. "You jerk, if you wanted to take advantage of her, just say so. Was it really necessary to hold hands to release the Devouring Bloodline and cover her?"

"Wait... didn't you say that?" Mu Cheng, of course, retorted indignantly.

Peppa: "I said that, but if I said there's a piece of gold in the toilet, would you go fish for it?"

Huh? I'm the one who got pulled. It's no big deal... What are you two doing? Trying to reach for the heavens?"

Chu Yaoyao was quite speechless, but knowing things weren't that simple, she naturally spoke up first to ask,

"Shouldn't we... be looting now? Can you two talk less and deal with what's in front of us first?"

"Let's attend to the main business first!" Mu Cheng, of course, also didn't dare act recklessly.

Peppa said unhurriedly, "Indeed, it's not that simple. Pick up a star-glow crystal and experience it yourself, then you'll know."

"Alright then! Let's see what trick this is." Mu Cheng casually picked up a star-glow crystal.

Sure enough, not long after, a figure flashed by at high speed...

By the time Mu Cheng reacted, he was already pinned to the ground by a foot, and the star-glow crystal was snatched away.

"What's going on? What just happened?" Mu Cheng still looked utterly confused, not even having seen clearly what it looked like.

And just like that, it was over...

"That thing is incredibly fast, but it seems it didn't go for a killing blow." Chu Yaoyao also couldn't see it clearly.

"Pfft~ I'll try again." Mu Cheng refused to believe this evil... and picked up another star-glow crystal.

The result was the same. Suddenly pressed to the ground again, the star-glow crystal snatched away... still unable to see the enemy's appearance.

"A mere Six-Eared Divine Monkey, and you two can't handle it... quite pathetic indeed." Peppa suddenly chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yaoyao was shocked for a long moment. "You mean the Six-Eared Divine Monkey from ancient times? That's not 'mere' at all..."
