Here, Xia Chen arrived at his third destination— the Gale Valley!
At this moment, Xia Chen was standing outside the valley, looking at the countless flying wind blades inside, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"It really is the Gale Valley, the name is quite fitting!"
He murmured something to himself, then walked straight inside without Xia Chen.
Just before entering the valley, Xia Chen skillfully cast an Sovereign Safety Shield on himself!
Once inside, Xia Chen completely ignored the incoming wind blades and strolled forward leisurely, enjoying the pleasures of a carefree stroll through the mortal world!
Xia Chen was also observing his surroundings, wondering if another boss might suddenly appear out of nowhere.
To be honest, he's actually starting to enjoy the feeling of defeating bosses; it's actually quite fun!
I wonder what the boss will be this time; it'll probably be some weird thing again.
The first time it was a dog, the second time it was a tree—neither of them were normal things!
However, even after Xia Chen had been walking for several minutes, all he could see around him were wind blades; he hadn't even seen a trace of the boss.
That doesn't make sense!
Xia Chen stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled. Based on his past experience, whenever he arrived at these places, the bosses would rush towards him as if they were being reincarnated!
Why is it so quiet this time?
With this question in mind, Xia Chen walked for another ten minutes or so, eventually emerging from the valley filled with wind blades, but still saw nothing.
Xia Chen looked back at this so-called Gale Valley, several question marks appearing above his head.
???
Where's my boss? Where are my fragments? Where did they all go?
Before Xia Chen could think too much, a burst of intense golden light suddenly erupted from the valley, followed by a golden object slowly rising into the sky above the valley.
Then it transformed into a streak of light and arrived in front of Xia Chen.
Seeing this familiar scene, Xia Chen was a little stunned, and then subconsciously took out the fragments he had collected before from the System Space.
The moment the fragment was taken out, the familiar scene reappeared, as if there was an attraction between the two, and they rushed towards each other.
Another flash of golden light, and after all the noise subsided, a complete black miniature sword appeared before Xia Chen's eyes. There wasn't a single nick or nick.
The air remained still for a few seconds.
"Um..."
Xia Chen watched the scene before him in silence, somewhat speechless.
Although the goal of collecting all the fragments was achieved, what about the boss? Where did the boss go?
Is this so-called trial in Gale Valley really just those wind blades from before? Is it really that easy? It's far too simple!
This makes it a bit silly of him to rush over in his Stone Monkey Form!
Xia Chen stood there for a while longer, but ultimately came to no conclusion, so he simply stopped thinking about it, since he had already completed his current collection task anyway.
Xia Chen's body returned to normal, and he held the small black sword in his hand, examining it carefully.
Now in its complete form, the small sword has undergone a dramatic change in appearance. If it was just an ordinary iron sword when it was still a fragment, then...
The hilt of this sword is very Haki, with a small skull embedded in it, while the blade also shimmers with a green glow, exuding an aura of nobility.
"That's interesting! I'd even like to take it home and use it as a toy!"
Xia Chen flicked the sword in his hand a few times and said with a smile, then put it into his System Space, and then looked in a certain direction.
That's the place mentioned in that sentence, and also the last place marked on the map— the King's Palace!
Without hesitation, Xia Chen stepped onto the Flying Nimbus and instantly disappeared from the spot.
After an unknown amount of time, the wind blades that had been flying around in Gale Valley slowly disappeared, eventually turning into a normal valley.
Then a huge body slowly emerged from the valley.
Upon closer inspection, this unidentified creature had a humanoid body, the only difference being that it was covered in arms starting from its stomach.
From a distance, the upper body appears to be completely surrounded by arms, countless arms densely packed together, which would be unbearable for someone with trypophobia.
If Xia Chen were still here, he would have noticed that this figure was very similar to the Hundred Arms Giant from mythology he knew.
At this moment, the Hundred Arms Giant looked in the direction Xia Chen had left, a look of lingering fear on his face, and then let out a muffled sound.
"Luckily, I was quick-witted, otherwise I would have gotten beaten up like Three Dogs and Silly Tree!"
The very next second after that voice came, two more voices came from beside him, one after the other.
" Hundred Arms, try calling me Three Dogs again and see if I don't bite you to death!"
"That's right, Hundred Arms, you're really itching for a beating, haven't you been whipped by me in too long?"
A door and a vortex appeared on either side of the Hundred Arms Giant, and then Cerberus and the Dryad emerged from them.
However, the tree spirit was no longer as huge as before; instead, it was about the size of Cerberus.
" Three Dogs, you're just barking and whining because you have so many heads, but have you forgotten that I have a hundred arms? You want to try and touch them?"
The Hundred Arms Giant looked at Cerberus with disdain and said.
"What did you say?" Cerberus at the Hundred- Hundred Arms Giant Hundred Arms Giant, who at the same time turned to look at Cerberus, both assuming an attack stance.
"What are you two doing? Don't you have anything better to do?" Willow Tree said bluntly from the side.
If Xia Chen were here, he would be incredibly surprised, because neither of the two had uttered a single word during his battle with Cerberus and Willow Tree.
Cerberus was alright; at least it barked a few times. The willow tree, however, didn't make a sound at all. And shouldn't the willow tree have already been killed by him?
So it turns out they weren't unable to speak, they just didn't want to!
If Xia Chen knew about this, he'd probably rip those two off again. They look down on him, don't they? They won't even talk to him!
After the willow tree spoke, Cerberus and the Hundred Arms Giant stopped what they were doing and said in unison, "Since the Silly Tree has spoken, I'll give you face!"
They said exactly the same thing, even their tone and intonation were identical, both conveying a sense of contempt and disdain.
Hearing these two idiots calling each other " Silly Tree," the willow tree nearby couldn't help but have an idea.
"How about we just do both of those things here?"
After thinking about it for a moment, it gave up on the idea. Oh well, they're all immortal here, so fighting would just be asking for trouble!
That's right. The willow tree did die when Xia Chen's last meteorite hit it, but they don't die here, so they came back to life not long after!
The flames that Cerberus seemed to be healing were actually the flames that killed it. It had already died once before, and its body slowly recovered, giving Xia Chen the illusion that it could both heal its injuries and restore its strength.
So, the Cerberus and the Hundred Arms Giant were just putting on an act when they said they were going to fight; otherwise, they wouldn't have readily agreed when the willow tree suggested it.
For them, fighting is just asking for trouble!
Suddenly, Cerberus looked at the remaining two and said, "Tell me, does this human have a chance to gain the king's approval?"
