Wizard's Journey

Chapter 737 The Exiles (Part Two)

three days later.

Suddenly, the seven-colored rooster struggled to stand up from the stone slab. Its weakness made it dizzy and unsteady. It leaned against the cave wall and looked around in panic and vigilance.

Still inside his own cave, the light was dim, and a few simple stone tools were used to cultivate some abyssal plants. "Drip, drip, drip" water dripped continuously into the clear pool in the groove of the stone slab. The black lotus was still there, and in the only light in the cave, there was the figure of the human wizard with his back to him!

"You're awake."

Green didn't turn around, asking indifferently as if he were talking about something he didn't care about.

On Green's shoulder, Little Eight turned around, and the crystal ball screen floating in front of him displayed the Abyss Holy Tower's wanted posters and information about this seven-colored rooster.

"Hehehe, not bad. Eighth Master searched for three days one by one before finding your wanted poster. Oh my, there's a bounty of thirty witch spirits."

Just as the seven-colored rooster was struggling and about to start fighting again, Little Eight started cawing loudly and cheekily, and Green's wanted image appeared on the crystal ball screen.

"Hehehe, but compared to my young master's bounty of a thousand witch spirits, it's nothing!"

The wanted image of Green on the crystal ball screen was, of course, fabricated by Green.

A bounty of one thousand witches!?

The seven-colored rooster was stunned. After a while, it came to its senses and looked closely at the meticulous bandages on its body. It remembered the previous battle and realized that the wizard's terrifyingly strong physique was something it could not defeat. Its body gradually relaxed.

"Why did you save me?"

Slowly, Green, who had his back to the rainbow rooster, put down the experimental equipment in his hand, turned around, and walked to the rainbow rooster with a small dish of powder in a glass container. While the rainbow rooster was stiff and nervous, he gently extended the powder in his hand.

"Try it out."

The seven-colored rooster stared warily at Green, its face full of doubt.

After a while, Green gave a self-deprecating laugh and shook his head.

These passively evolved, foolish otherworldly creatures have no idea what experimental research or natural observation learning is, yet they are communicating with it in the manner of elemental wizards.

"This is bone powder from a powerful species called the Ancient Demons of No Form. They defeated this wizarding world long ago and were the creators of this vast underground abyss world. They possessed greater power than wizards, were a more powerful civilization, and were creatures with higher evolutionary advantages."

After Green finished explaining, the seven-colored rooster said coldly with hatred, "So, there are creatures even more powerful than these evil wizards!"

The colorful rooster seemed to realize something was amiss and stopped talking about it, instead asking, "So, what was your purpose in saving me?"

"So that I can better adapt to this place, find information about the Formless Ancient Demon sooner, obtain a more perfect evolutionary path, and gain even greater power!"

Green's words were full of ambition and madness, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at the colorful rooster.

"Do you know that those foolish fellows, out of fear of the Ancient Demon of No Form, actually chose to run away, sealing away everything about it? These cowardly reptiles, to conceal their fear, even prevent others from approaching its essence and truth, describing the Ancient Demon of No Form, which possesses a higher mode of evolution, as an evil demon capable of destroying the world, instead of humbly seeking knowledge and learning from it! These arrogant, short-sighted, cowardly fools!"

As he spoke, Green's eyes revealed an intense longing, and he stared at the seven-colored rooster with a look of madness.

"You'll help me prove that those Ancient Demons of No Form are the higher beings, won't you?"

Xiao Ba perched on Green's shoulder and said quietly, "You should watch your words. Those foolish wizards were killed by the young master because they denied his attitude. He then seized the Ancient Demon Bone of the Formless and became wanted by the Holy Tower."

In the deep underground world, the killings within the arena symbolize the passion and glory of gladiators, but killing each other outside the arena is strictly prohibited. The unique rules of the Abyss Tower are completely different from those of the Wizarding Continent, or rather, the exact opposite!

Gum!

The seven-colored rooster swallowed hard, staring blankly at Green, whose eyes were filled with madness.

This guy is insane!

Perhaps, he will also be a madman who brings destruction to this evil wizarding world, a madman who can avenge himself, and we should make good use of him.

At least... I need to survive first!

"So that's how it is! I only had you targeted because I thought you were a bounty hunter. I never imagined you were a wizard with such lofty ideals and ambitions. You will surely prove your great revenge, and those arrogant fools will pay the price for their stupidity!"

The colorful rooster praised it highly, and Green's face revealed a smile full of ambition.

"So, you're saying you'll help me?"

"certainly!"

The seven-colored rooster said with certainty, "However, the friend I know who can help you is currently in another distant abyss. I need to spend some time here to heal my injuries and wait for this welcoming lotus to fully mature before I can take you there."

Immediately afterward, the seven-colored rooster's eyes lit up and he said, "By the way, do you have any intention of meeting the 'King of the Abyss' in this abyss? He is, like you, a wizard exile."

The King of the Abyss within this small abyss?

Green looked intrigued and smiled, "Okay."

……

Ten years later.

The creatures that can live in this small abyss for a long time are all powerful exiles, and their numbers have remained at around twenty. Among them, the most powerful is this body-refining wizard, Goyou, who is known as the "King of the Abyss". It is said that he once had a record of 574 consecutive victories in the two-star arena.

In the rules of the gladiatorial combat, even if a body-training wizard enters the escape teleportation array and loses one consecutive win, as long as he does not die, he will always have the right to continue accumulating consecutive wins until he dies.

Besides these powerful, permanent resident creatures, the abyss is also frequently visited by exiles who come to gather resources for survival, travelers who traverse the abyss continent, and... bounty hunters.

Since the Phantom Lotus will take about fifty years to mature, and the wounds Grimm inflicted on the Seven-Colored Rooster will also take decades to heal, during this time, in addition to his experimental research, Grimm also frequently communicates with other exiles in this small abyss, hoping to obtain more information in order to find some possible remnants of the Formless Ancient Demon.

That day, Green entered a vast underground space through a hidden crevice in the rocks.

This is the underground palace of Goyou, the "King of the Abyss," which houses a large number of abyssal creatures. This small abyss is the richest source of survival information. After more than ten years of interaction, Green and Goyou have managed to establish some kind of relationship.

Um! ?

As soon as he entered the underground space, Green sensed something was wrong; the sounds of fighting, roaring, and howling faintly came from the depths of the space.

A moment later, Ge You, who was completely overwhelmed by the attacks of a twenty-meter-tall abyssal dragon, roared with delight, "Shadow of Despair, join forces with me to kill this bounty hunter, and I'll give you half of this wealth!"

The bounty hunter looked at Grimm, astonished, and said, "Huh? The will of the wizarding world, you…"

Ge You's pupils contracted, and he looked at Green with suspicion, causing the atmosphere to become slightly awkward.

"Damn it, young master, what do we do?"

Green sighed, saying helplessly, "There's no other way. We finally got a clue from the Rainbow Rooster, and to avoid wasting ten years of effort, we have no choice but to keep both of you here!"
