Chen Wen nodded. "Why not?"
"I..."
The Blackflame Dragon Serpent's mouth moved, but in the end, it said nothing.
It was afraid, but it could think of no reason to stop Chen Wen.
"Point me in the right direction," Chen Wen said.
The Blackflame Dragon Serpent immediately pushed down its thoughts. "Head northeast."
"Mm."
Chen Wen nodded, then turned and sped northeast.
"My lord, should I come with you?"
The Blackflame Dragon Serpent drew a deep breath.
Chen Wen gave it a flat look. "Are you sure you won't wet yourself?"
"I..."
The Blackflame Dragon Serpent choked on its words.
"Forget it. I'll go alone."
Chen Wen changed tack. "Just wait here for me."
"A-all right," the Blackflame Dragon Serpent said quickly.
After a moment's thought, Chen Wen asked, "By the way, does that place belong to some Fierce Beast?"
"Don't worry. No Fierce Beast would go looking for its own death," the Blackflame Dragon Serpent said.
Chen Wen nodded, turned, and vanished from the spot.
The Blackflame Dragon Serpent stared after him in a daze.
But its expression soon changed drastically.
I almost forgot.
Chen Wen had gone in, all right.
If Chen Wen dies in there, what am I supposed to do? Who do I ask for the Three-Headed Dragon Serpent's Beast Core?
Damn it... So I could end up losing out either way?
At the thought, the Blackflame Dragon Serpent could not help swearing.
For an instant, it truly wanted to rush after him.
But when it thought of the Undying Blood Abyss's horrors, it shrank back.
Meanwhile, Chen Wen was already making his way toward the Undying Blood Abyss.
He did not let down his guard. Who knew what might happen next?
After a while, Chen Wen suddenly stopped.
His brows drew together.
Someone's hiding nearby.
