Chu Tian followed Xiao Hei out of the lake.
He found that Xiao Hei’s gaze was fixed on the small island in the center of the lake.
Xiao Hei’s gaze and expression were a bit solemn.
This was completely different from his usual self.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Tian followed his gaze yesterday.
In that direction was where the mysterious summoning order he felt upon arriving in Antarctica had originated.
“Over there… might… be something calling me!”
Xiao Hei’s eyes flickered a few times.
He finally uttered these words.
“Calling?” Chu Tian’s gaze sharpened at the word “calling.”
He remembered the Moon Gazing Divine Wolves. Before they left, they had cautioned Chu Tian to bring Xiao Hei to the very center of the forbidden zone.
“Didn’t you feel it before?” Chu Tian pressed.
“No, I only felt it after emerging from this spout. The aura of an old and unfamiliar kind, my own kin.
And it carries… a sense of urgency. It doesn’t have much time left!”
As Xiao Hei said this, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
Then, his figure flashed, and he rapidly swam towards the opposite shore.
Chu Tian called out to the Blazing Demonic Hound behind him.
Then he followed in Xiao Hei’s wake.
The originally dark lake water had now returned to its clear, transparent state.
With just a few leaps, Chu Tian and Xiao Hei crossed the lake.
They landed slowly at the edge of the island in the center of the lake.
The fog on the island was dense.
Despite feeling the strong call, they did not dare to advance rashly.
Especially for Chu Tian, the faint call he felt here was imbued with stronger resentment, showing great hostility towards him.
He knew that thing had been extracted from his body by his mother years ago.
However, he was puzzled.
Logically, that thing should be a part of him.
It was normal to have a connection through the call.
But that thing seemed to have developed some form of sentience.
It was full of hostility towards him. Could it be that it did not wish to return to its original body?
A series of speculations arose in Chu Tian’s mind.
He knew this time might not be easy to retrieve what belonged to him.
But what belonged to him was his.
Regardless of whether the other party possessed any intelligence.
You are still a part of me.
With this thought, Chu Tian’s eyes flickered.
The Blazing Demonic Hound landed beside them shortly after.
Xiao Hei, identifying a direction, said to Chu Tian.
“This way!”
With that, he walked off in a certain direction. Chu Tian remained silent. He hadn’t told Xiao Hei that there was also something calling him here.
Following behind Xiao Hei.
He discovered that the power calling him.
Was coming from the same direction as Xiao Hei felt it.
Could it be the same thing?
Full of speculation, they pressed on. This journey was uneventful.
Soon, Xiao Hei stopped.
Chu Tian also stopped.
Before them appeared an ancient well.
“Boss, I might have to go down,” Xiao Hei said, leaning over the well’s edge and looking down.
Chu Tian nodded, not objecting.
Because he also needed to go down.
They both leaned over the well and looked down.
The Blazing Demonic Hound, transformed into a large black dog, also stood upright.
It propped itself on the edge of the ancient well and said, looking down.
“Are you kidding me?”
Neither Chu Tian nor Xiao Hei spoke.
They both felt that this situation was not simple.
Looking down, with their eyesight, they couldn’t see the bottom.
They didn’t know how deep the ancient well was.
The ancient well appeared to go straight down, about one person wide!
Just enough for a person’s head to slip through.
This bottomless ancient well made it impossible to use a rope.
Even if there was one, they probably wouldn’t have a rope that long.
Xiao Hei was now flipping over, preparing to go down.
Chu Tian grabbed him.
“I’ll go first!”
Chu Tian was confident that his body was now even stronger than Xiao Hei’s.
If anything happened below, he could react better than Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment.
Then he nodded.
“I’m not going. I’ll keep watch down there for you!”
The Blazing Demonic Hound stated that it did not want to go down there.
Chu Tian smiled and did not ask it to follow. He simply flipped over and jumped into the ancient well.
Xiao Hei glanced at it, and the Hellish Demonic Hound followed Chu Tian, jumping down.
As Xiao Hei jumped down, Chu Tian had already descended over a hundred meters.
The two of them were about a hundred meters apart, falling freely downwards in succession.
Chu Tian’s gaze was fixed below.
After falling for a while, he started to feel strange.
Chu Tian looked up.
He could see Xiao Hei’s figure.
And a beam of light was shining down the ancient well from above Xiao Hei’s head.
Logically, he must have fallen at least several thousand meters by now.
The light shone into the well should have long since disappeared.
However, it was still illuminating a position hundreds of meters below his feet.
Beyond that point, it was pitch black.
But looking up, he could see the well mouth directly.
If he had fallen this far, the well mouth would always appear that large.
This kind of unchanging difference.
Completely defied scientific theory.
As the descent continued, it felt like at least ten thousand meters.
And the falling speed was increasing. He felt a slight discomfort in his body.
Chu Tian knew how tough his body was now!
Even so.
He was still struggling to resist the gravity from below and the speed of the descent, which was putting a strain on his body.
He looked up at the sky above.
Xiao Hei, who was originally only a hundred meters away from him.
Was now a thousand meters away.
Clearly, Xiao Hei could not withstand the physical pressure and had used some method to slow down.
When he descended, Chu Tian noticed that the flying ability he had just acquired had disappeared.
He looked at the surrounding walls.
They were smooth as mirrors, with no place to brace himself.
Even if there were, with his current falling momentum, touching any edge would likely cause it to be smoothed away.
“Great Bear Form!”
“Moon Moon… Ursoc’s Claws!”
The form activated, and four sharp claws extended from his palms.
Spreading his arms, he plunged the claws directly into the walls on both sides.
His rapidly descending body immediately came to a halt.
Chu Tian felt a sharp pain in his arms.
However, the immense stretching force was caused.
But his speed did not stop.
It merely slowed down slightly.
The Ursoc’s Claws, transformed by the Moon God’s Wrath, were incredibly sharp.
They cut through the rock walls on both sides like slicing tofu.
Chu Tian continued to slide down.
However, his speed had significantly reduced.
Xiao Hei above was gradually approaching him.
As he was about to reach Chu Tian, Chu Tian saw that Xiao Hei’s arms had transformed into Qilin claws.
These were undeniably Qilin arms, genuine brand.
Seeing Hinata’s approach, he also extended his hands and grabbed the wall.
And shouted to Chu Tian.
“Boss, this place is too deep! When will we reach the bottom?”
“How would I know? At this speed, we must have descended at least 20,000 meters. If we go any further, we might fall into the Earth’s core!”
Chu Tian was also frustrated.
