Soon, Zhao Gang's silhouette appeared within his Divine Sense.
The fellow was skulking behind a large tree, his eyes tinged with nervousness as he kept scanning his surroundings, occasionally glancing back to check whether the cliff ahead was the right one.
Chun Xiaobai immediately concealed his aura, crept up behind him without a sound, and slapped him on the shoulder.
Smack!
"Aah-!"
Zhao Gang let out a terrified howl, his voice echoing back and forth through the empty mountain valley.
"Uh..."
That scream left Chun Xiaobai dumbstruck.
For fuck's sake, how could a grown man be more timid than a woman?
"Oh! It's you, Great King! You're here! You scared me half to death!"
Zhao Gang patted his chest and glanced toward the cliff, still shaken. Then he hurriedly pulled Chun Xiaobai back behind the tree before speaking cautiously.
"Great King, I spotted a group earlier and followed them all the way here. I saw them enter the cliff and disappear with my own eyes, and then an aura from a formation emerged! There's probably some cave abode or Secret Realm down there!"
"Damn, there really is a Secret Realm?"
Chun Xiaobai hurriedly activated his Treasure-Seeing Divine Eye and looked toward the cliff. He saw no sign of activity, only a hazy expanse of grayish-white energy.
Still, he thought nothing of it.
His Treasure-Seeing Divine Eye was useful, certainly, but whenever something blocked his view, the wealth aura of the object on the surface would obstruct it.
In his eyes, this cliff was grayish-white energy, indicating ordinary mountain rock. If there really were treasures beneath it, he naturally couldn't see them.
"Come on, let's take a look."
"All right!" Zhao Gang nodded, but the instant Chun Xiaobai turned around, a vicious gleam flashed through his eyes, and he quietly followed.
