Chapter 604 The Cunning Earth Dragon King.
"Boy Mo, you're back."
"I'm back."
Looking at the three illusory figures of the Dragon Kings, standing with their hands behind their backs and gentle expressions, Xuan Mo's expression turned serious, and he nodded.
He knew that what he was about to undergo was a trial and training bestowed upon him by the three Dragon Kings. And this training would definitely not be weaker than what Tang San and the others had experienced on Seagod Island.
"Dragon Kings, what is the next trial?"
Hearing that Xuan Mo had just returned to Dragon Valley and was already saying he wanted to begin his next trial, the three Dragon Kings were slightly surprised.
"Are you in such a hurry, kid?"
Xuan Mo shook his head, his expression becoming serious. "We came here to cultivate, and we can't waste any time. Besides, my condition is almost at its best right now, so this is just right. Moreover, the situation on the continent is urgent, and time waits for no one."
Seeing that Xuan Mo, the person directly involved in the trial, had said so, the three Dragon Kings naturally had no objections. So the Earth Dragon King spoke up, "Since that's the case, let's prepare to begin. But before we start, there's something we need to take care of."
With that, the three Dragon Kings' gazes all locked onto Mu Lin.
"Young Mo, aren't you going to introduce yourself to us?"
Hearing this, Xuan Mo finally realized what was happening and quickly pushed the still somewhat reserved Mu Lin in front of the three Dragon Kings. "By the way, seniors, I have another request."
However, before Xuan Mo could speak, he was stopped by the Dragon Kings.
"We know what you want to say. You probably want us to remove that strange energy from this kid, right?"
Just as Xuan Mo and Mu Lin looked on expectantly, the Dragon Kings shook their heads helplessly. "But we're truly sorry. The moment you stepped into Dragon Valley, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings already informed us of the truth via telepathy. Since they couldn't do it, the three of us are powerless to help either."
At this point, the illusory image of the Ice and Fire Dragon King emerged from Xuan Mo's body and stood beside the three Dragon Kings.
But at this moment, Mu Lin's eyes dimmed.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo was about to go and comfort him, but Mu Lin's gloomy expression vanished in an instant, as if nothing had happened.
However, Xuan Mo knew in his heart that he wasn't feeling well.
Just then, the Earth Dragon King's voice rang out like a ray of hope, "But just like the Ice and Fire Dragon King said, just because we can't solve it doesn't mean you can't do it, Mo boy. And in our opinion, you don't even need to become a god to do it."
"Hmm?"
Xuan Mo's expression changed. "What should I do?"
But the Earth Dragon King shook his head slightly. "No, you shouldn't ask that now, because you're not qualified yet."
Saying this, he turned slightly, his gaze falling behind the three Dragon Kings.
Xuan Mo and Mu Lin followed the Dragon Kings' gaze. After passing through a forest, they came upon a grand hall.
"That's..."
"That's where I'm testing you. In that great hall, once you gain the approval of what's inside, you can dispel that strange power."
"Is that so..."
He clenched his fist. "In that case, let's begin."
"Brother Mo!"
Mu Lin was deeply moved by Xuan Mo's loyalty and was about to give him a hug when Xuan Mo punched him away. "How disgusting! I'm not doing this for you; it's my test. You're just doing it on the side."
"I understand, I understand."
"You understand my ass."
Xuan Mo rolled his eyes, looked at the Earth Dragon King, and then solemnly said, "In that case, let's begin."
Seeing that Xuan Mo had made up his mind, the Earth Dragon King had the other dragon kings take Xiao Hei away, while he led Xuan Mo towards the great hall behind the forest. As Xuan Mo walked, he gave Mu Lin a look, signaling him to follow. When the two passed through the forest and the Earth Dragon King stopped, both Xuan Mo and Mu Lin were stunned by what they saw.
Of course, it wasn't because of its grandeur. Rather…
"This is the entirety of the hall?"
Following behind the Earth Dragon King, Xuan Mo couldn't help but twitch his lips. " How hasty!
Truly, a glimpse into the whole picture is all it takes." The hall he saw wasn't the magnificent structure he had imagined, but merely a small square made of earth and stone.
"Disappointed?"
Seeing Xuan Mo and Mu Lin's expressions, the Earth Dragon King immediately guessed what they were thinking, but as an ancient monster of countless years, he didn't pay much attention.
"Don't underestimate it. What it contains is what makes this small building called a hall."
"Oh?" Xuan Mo became excited upon hearing this.
However, the Earth Dragon King didn't answer his question, instead looking at him with a smile. But that smile looked cunning, and he had a feeling something bad was about to happen.
"Do you want to know what's inside this hall? If you want to see, then go and see for yourself."
Xuan Mo's face immediately showed suspicion.
At this moment, Xuan Mo felt that the Earth Dragon King was hiding something from him.
However, he had no evidence.
Moreover, Xuanmo himself was quite curious about what the Earth Dragon King had said.
So…
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? I want to see what's inside that 'great hall'!"
The next moment, Xuanmo leaped into the air and rushed forward, as if to directly enter the "great hall."
But in the next second, "Boom!"
Xuanmo, who had just looked presentable, felt an immense force exerted on him after advancing only a few meters. Caught off guard, he was slammed to the ground, landing face-first.
But this wasn't the end. "Buzz…"
Xuanmo, pressed to the ground by gravity, felt a strange energy fluctuation emanating from the "great hall" ahead.
Then…
"Bang!"
A muffled sound suddenly rang out.
Xuanmo, who had just been pressed to the ground, felt as if he had crashed into something when he felt that energy fluctuation; the next moment, he was bounced back.
With a "whoosh," Xuanmo was sent flying more than ten meters backward.
He even darted past Mulin and the Earth Dragon King, but fortunately, Xuanmo reacted in time.
Even so, he staggered and struggled to maintain his balance.
"What's going on?"
A flash of surprise crossed Xuanmo's eyes as he looked at the area ahead, the image of the Sea God's Light on Seagod Island appearing in his mind.
At the same time, he suddenly looked at the Earth Dragon King.
"You're kidding me!"
