Cancer Palace!
The Cancer Palace was the fourth zodiac palace. After getting here, Wang Teng stepped into the palace without any hesitation.
He was extremely curious what benefits this Cancer Palace holy knight would give him.
Challenging the 12 zodiac palaces wasn’t a face value issue anymore. It was a question of how high his ability could rise. It would be great if he could improve by a realm every time he beat a holy knight.
As long as the benefits were enough, his face would come back.
If it couldn’t, nothing could be done about it. He still wanted his face. Beating the 12 zodiac palaces would give him his dignity back. After all, as a top talent, his dignity was still important. He mustn’t get bullied easily.
Frose followed behind him, not knowing what Wang Teng was thinking. If he knew, he might vomit blood on the spot. The guy wanted to beat all 12 zodiac palaces just because Arudis stopped him. Was his dignity so high!
Frose was worried. Margus, the holy knight guarding the Cancer Palace, was on par with Karl in terms of ability. However, his skills were a little unique. Frose wondered if he could stop Wang Teng.
The Cancer Palace was pitch-black. Even the lights at the end of the passageway couldn’t shine in. It was as if all the light had been swallowed.
The holy knight was nowhere in sight. No one stopped him either.
Wang Teng stopped walking four steps away from the entrance. Looking in from his position, he couldn’t see the other end of the passageway. Everywhere he looked was pitch-black.
He activated his Spiritual Sight and looked into the darkness. He frowned.
The darkness in the Cancer Palace blocked his vision.
This was the first time. He felt a little excited. Unknown things were worth exploring.
Normal attributes were gains without soul. He had no interest in them.
It looked like he could get a good harvest here. There might even be surprises.
Wang Teng smiled. The next instant, he stepped into the darkness in front.
The moment he entered, he was submerged in it completely. Frose, who was behind him, couldn’t see him anymore.
Frose stopped walking. He remained at the same spot and waited for the result of the fight.
…
Wang Teng stepped forward slowly in the darkness. His expression was composed. Other people might get exasperated and fearful after staying in this dark and enclosed space for some time.
Never underestimate the power of darkness. There might be nothing here except endless darkness, but no one would be able to maintain their composure after staying here for too long.
If someone didn’t break down, that must be because they hadn’t stayed here for long enough!
It could be explained if one had personally experienced it. Waking up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom and the lights suddenly turned off, the person would have no choice but to grope around the dark. At some point, they would stop walking because they had felt something peeking at them through the darkness…
Wang Teng was experiencing the same situation. He seemed to have walked in the darkness for a long time, but there was no end to it…
He felt something around him staring at him with an evil gaze, wanting to drag him into the darkness. He wasn’t afraid, though. He knew that this was the doings of the holy knight of the Cancer Palace. He was just a little surprised.
The holy knight of the Cancer Palace was indeed powerful. After all, he could create this darkness.
“Is there anyone here?” Wang Teng opened his mouth and shouted.
No reply.
No one would reply to him.
“Is there anyone here?” Wang Teng asked again. “If there’s no one, I’ll ask again three minutes later.”
No reply.
The atmosphere in this dark place seemed frozen.
Wang Teng continued walking forward. After some time, he shouted, “Is there anyone here?”
The time was just right, exactly three minutes!
The atmosphere was eerily silent.
“If there’s no one, I’ll ask again three minutes later,” Wang Teng repeated.
…
Another three minutes passed. Wang Teng shouted as promised, “Is there anyone here?”
No reply.
“If there’s no one, I’ll ask again three minutes later.”
…
“Is there anyone here?”
No reply.
“If there’s no one, I’ll ask again three minutes later.”
Wang Teng was extremely patient. He kept moving forward and shouting every three minutes relentlessly. It was touching and… exasperating.
He walked for a long time. He didn’t even know how many times he had shouted.
“Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here…” His voice echoed in the darkness.
Wang Teng seemed to have gotten addicted to this game. He planned to continue shouting regardless of the other party’s reply.
Another three minutes passed. He opened his mouth again.
Suddenly, green dots of light lit up in his surroundings. At the start, they were the size of peas. Gradually, they grew bigger…
In the end, they turned into balls of green light and floated around Wang Teng.
The sudden appearance of the green balls of light made the area even scarier. The temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
A soft groan sounded in the darkness, creating a sense of despair in the heart of whoever heard it.
However, Wang Teng remained expressionless. He muttered to himself as if he didn’t see the green balls of light around him, “Indeed, there’s someone here. Did he use the lights because he’s afraid that I can’t find my way? Why didn’t he give more lights?”
No reply.
The balls of green flame became a little unstable. They shook violently as if they were angered.
What do you mean by you can’t find your way?
Are these green lights here to light up the place for you?
Could you be a little more narcissistic?
Pfft, shameless!
The person behind the scene couldn’t take Wang Teng’s chatter anymore and finally decided to act. The green balls of flames lit up the entire area in spooky light.
Wang Teng finally saw his surroundings clearly.
This wasn’t the Cancer Palace. It was an eerie graveyard. It was desolate, dilapidated, and frightening.
Suddenly, bloodstained hands broke through the ground and grabbed Wang Teng’s legs. Corpses started to crawl out toward him too.
Their faces were distorted and horrendous. They seemed to be filled with pain and sorrow but there was a sinister smile on their faces… It looked terrifying.
An ordinary person, even if he was a martial warrior, might not be able to face this scene calmly.
However, Wang Teng remained indifferent. He didn’t move and allowed the scary corpses to climb towards him. It was as if they didn’t exist.
“Is this an illusion?” Wang Teng muttered to himself. He released his spiritual power and spread it out, wanting to disperse the illusion.
But to his surprise, as his spiritual power spread out, the corpses remained.. They didn’t disappear.
