The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 58 — Case on Nigra Road
Shen Wenhuan, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and the human-shaped Chao Bence began to search and tour the villages around Nigra Street and ask some questions.
The answers of these citizens have the same core, “Don't know. There has never been a strange sound near Nigra Street, but lately some residents who go through the road to somewhere do not return.”
It was already noon when they finished their investigation.
Lian Huanran sighed sadly and said, “There are no useful clues.”
Chao Bence nodded with a smile on his face as usual, the smile made no one to read Chao Bence's true mood.
Shen Wenhuan said, “The only way left is down Nigra Road, but let's rest for a while and discuss. Haocun, Huanran, Mr Chao, what do you think of this case?”
Lian Haocun replied, “The victims in this case are the same as in the previous case, random. His body was not found either. Most likely this case was carried out by the same leader as the previous case.”
After Lian Haocun finished speaking, Lian Huanran also said, “And again what is the motive or purpose of the leader doing something like this? Is this maybe just personal revenge?”
Chao Bence nodded with a smile on his face that made him look a little terrible, “Not only that this leader should be very strong and not an ordinary person.”
Shen Wenhuan added, “Iya and he should not have come from the Afer Continent, but of course there was also the possibility that this leader was from the Afer Continent. But the possibility is very small.”
Chao Bence nodded in agreement to Shen Wenhuan's words.
After resting about twenty minutes. They began to walk down Nigra Street with steps that were not too slow but not too fast while watching their surroundings as they walked.
The longer they walk, somehow there is a fog that thickens as the journey becomes very unsuitable. The fog should not exist, not only because it was daytime but the Nigra Road was indeed not a foggy road.
“Come forward.”
Shen Wenhuan who was leading the front would have been aware of this oddity from the beginning of the fog suddenly appeared. But the calmness in the tone of his words and actions made Lian Huanran's anxiety and uneasiness erased by three-quarters.
Then they continued the journey in a somewhat silent atmosphere, although Chao Bence had already broken it many times by speaking useless nonsense throughout the journey, Lian Huanran whose tumbens were serious, said the source, not in the mood to chat so subconsciously Lian Huanran ignored Chao Bence's nonsense and focused on his own thoughts.
Chao Bence who only spoke for himself without any response from anyone, “ These humans don't know they're lucky! Huh!
As the fog grew thicker along the way so that nothing was seen, Shen Wenhuan stared at Lian Haocun. Lian Haocun understood the meaning of his teacher's gaze and let out a fire from his hand.
Although it does not help much, the surroundings become brighter and the sense of sight becomes clearer than before. Then they continued their journey with a rather horror atmosphere of silence and silence.
Lian Huanran was afraid of something horror so he subconsciously became closer to Lian Haocun and held onto his robe out of fear. While Chao Bence did not want to speak anymore to break the atmosphere of silence and his heart was further irritated and furious to see Lian Huanran's behavior when afraid.
‘Huh! That kid doesn't even depend on me! I'm definitely stronger than his brother! My pride as a magical beast equivalent to the Demigod Stage is injured.’ Thought Chao Bence sad, annoyed and furious.
Lian Haocun did not appease Lian Huanran at all but let Lian Huanran hold her robe. Although Lian Haocun did not speak, her existence and aura calmed Lian Huanran's frightened heart and her mind began to clear up.
Shen Wenhuan who was walking the very front suddenly stopped and said, “Why can there be lodging here?”
The fog slowly faded as Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Chao Bence headed towards Shen Wenhuan's frontmost place. The fog faded and was replaced by a beautiful starry night sky and an inn, the inn was made of wood. It looks old but also sturdy. With an iron-framed wooden plate that says 'Ruga Inn'.
Shen Wenhuan, Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Chao Bence felt the same, strange and awkward.
“How can there be lodging in the middle of Nigra Road? I never heard of it. And again did we walk that long? It's night.” Lian Huanran immediately expressed what he was thinking.
Shen Wenhuan looked rather reluctant to continue so Chao Bence continued his words, “Another dimension.”
Lian Haocun was quite shocked in his heart and began to explain to Lian Huanran who looked puzzled, “Another dimension is a dimension created by someone who has a cultivation level equivalent to the Demigod Stage or above. To make the dimensions very difficult.
At least the person who made it had to have amazing skills or luck to make the dimension.
Dimensions would expand as the cultivation level increased but there were also people who let their dimension stay the same as the beginning because they did not want to bother taking care of the vast place.
Dimensions can be given to others but very rarely people who make dimensions do so because not only is it difficult to make them, dimensions are also very useful for various things.
So it could be that this dimension was lent or given by someone else or the worst possible person who was the mastermind of this case in Nigra Road was someone who had a cultivation level equivalent to Demigod Stage.”
Lian Huanran's eyes widened in surprise, “Demigod stage!?”
Lian Haocun nodded calmly while still using his hands to let out flames the entire time.
Shen Wenhuan felt anxiety and unease in his heart, “Master Chao, can we still go?”
Chao Bence shook his head ignorantly and the smile on his face the entire time replaced a serious expression, “If the controller or the owner of this dimension does not want to let us go. We will not be able to get out and it seems.., the controller or the owner of this dimension does not want us to go out.”.
A thick fog surrounded the inn, no one could guess where the road they had previously traveled was.
Lian Huanran tried to break through the thick fog but she could not even enter it before bouncing away from the fog. Lian Huanran complained of pain. Shen Wenhuan who saw Lian Huanran intending to break through the thick fog instantly felt panic and anxiety in his heart.
For the first time, Shen Wenhuan looked extremely angry, “What are you doing!? Aren't you afraid of death, Huanran!?”
The scolded Lian Huanran looked like she wanted to cry. However Lian Huanran was only a ten-year-old child and had never been scolded by Shen Wenhuan until Shen Wenhuan shouted like that, but Lian Haocun who saw him did not sympathize and support Shen Wenhuan at all,
“What you're doing is sloppy and wrong. So no need to cry.”
While saying, Lian Haocun extended his hand to Lian Huanran who was still sitting on the ground. Lian Huanran grabbed her brother's hand and stood up and apologized with a stutter.
Chao Bence rubbed his temple and sighed. Shen Wenhuan's facial expression became softer but he also still looked angry and he said,
“Im sorry Teacher. Whatever you did was very dangerous. If the fog is so corrosive maybe even your corpse will not be left.”
Lian Huanran shuddered in horror hearing the consequences of her actions could be that bad.
Lian Huanran used a few minutes to calm down while Shen Wenhuan, Lian Haocun and Chao Bence focused on their respective minds so that the atmosphere became quiet and silent.
Lian Huanran ventured to ask, “What will we do now?”
Shen Wenhuan sighed heavily like he had decided on something heavy and said,
“We will be heading to the inn. We're trapped here anyway, but before that, Mr. Chao. Can I chat with both of you for a moment?”
The serious-faced Chao Bence without a smile nodded.
