Chapter 1877: Why Should I Tell You?

Why Should I Tell You?

Sun Bumian carefully took the Holy Grail out of the box.

Both cup openings of the Holy Grail were empty, and the cup openings were not deep, as if pouring just a little water into them would cause them to overflow... It was unknown what material this blood-red cup body was made of. It was cold to the touch and felt rough, like metal, yet also like stone.

Sun Bumian placed the Holy Grail in front of his eyes and observed carefully. Only then did he discover that on the outer wall of the cup opening below, a line of code and a line of small words were engraved:

——[W-1003296]

——[Star Observation Bureau]

Sun Bumian's brows furrowed tightly.

"This thing... what exactly is it?"

Sun Bumian had once thought that perhaps this was a witchcraft prop even more ancient than the era he existed in. But looking at it now, numbers and English actually appeared on this thing... Theoretically speaking, it should be a modern item.

And what was the Star Observation Bureau?

Sun Bumian temporarily tossed these doubts aside. Holding the Holy Grail in his hand, after hesitating for a moment, he tentatively called out into the cup opening...

"...Club?"

"Are you there?"

"Club?"

The Blood-Colored Holy Grail remained completely still.

Bai Ye: ...?

Bai Ye looked at Sun Bumian muttering to a cup, his expression somewhat subtle, and couldn't help asking:

"What are you doing?"

Sun Bumian tossed and turned this Blood-Colored Holy Grail in his hands, almost touching every corner, but no matter what, he didn't receive the slightest response... Aside from being anxious, there seemed to be nothing he could do.

"I..."

"Don't know."

After trying for a long time, Sun Bumian let out a bitter, long sigh.

He had finally obtained the Holy Grail that had once swallowed Jiang Xiaohua's Curse with great difficulty, but so what... The probability of Jiang Xiaohua still existing in here was truly too slim.

In the final analysis, everything was just him and Chen Ling's unwilling guesswork.

"...Better bring it back and let Hearts take a look."

Sun Bumian solemnly put the Holy Grail away and muttered to himself.

...

Drip-tock——

The blade bit by bit cut open the finger, and vigorous vitality spread over the desolate earth.

Leaden gray clouds obscured the starlight, shrouding the entire land in darkness... When that blood concentrated with vigorous vitality was exposed to the air and fell downward, scattered roars of Calamities rang out from the surroundings.

In the dimness, several red-eyed Calamity bodies were outlined from above the hills.

A figure draped in a red Theatrical Robe entered their pupils.

World-Endings died one after another. The vast majority of other Calamities had already died on the battlefields attacking the major domains not long ago. Now, only scattered Calamities remained in the Gray World. Of course they could feel the lethally dangerous World-Ending Aura emitting from that Theatrical Robe figure...

But that vitality, rich to the extreme, directly stimulated their deepest cravings, even making them ignore his danger.

Their bodies trembled slightly. Fear toward Chen Ling could not be seen in their pupils, leaving only the most primal greed.

Whoosh——

They rushed frantically toward that Theatrical Robe figure.

But before they could get close, centipedes suddenly drilled out from the earth, like tentacles dancing wildly on the dark land, instantly intercepting the several Calamities outside.

Not only that, a gecko instantly appeared on the battlefield. With just a light sweep of its tail, it crushed the remaining few weak Calamities into blood mist.

Blood spread across the earth, and the severed limbs of the Calamities scattered everywhere. From beginning to end, this bloody massacre did not affect that Theatrical Robe figure in the slightest.

The second drop, the third drop, the fourth drop...

Blood dripped onto the already prepared chocolate balls, gradually dyeing them red.

It wasn't until the fourth drop of blood finished dripping that Chen Ling gently rubbed the wound. Under the powerful healing power, the wound recovered to its original state in the blink of an eye... But a paleness of extreme exhaustion subsequently climbed onto his face.

"Phew..."

He didn't get up immediately, but still sat in place, lowered his head, and let out a long sigh of relief.

He flicked his fingertips, and these four chocolate balls instantly turned into two-dimensional shadows, disappearing at the end of the earth...

He just sat like this for a full ten minutes,

Before slowly standing up.

"...Many thanks." Chen Ling patted the head of Bi Yi beside him.

The Calamities of the Ghost Mockery Abyss were all pulled by this world's Calamity of Mockery to attack the domains. Only this remnant party in front of him was an exception... After returning to Earth with Chen Ling back then, Bi Yi never returned to the Ghost Mockery Abyss again, but took a group of Calamities and hid deep in the Gray World.

Now that this world's Calamity of Mockery was dead, upon sensing Chen Ling's Aura in the Gray World, they immediately followed over.

"Ahead is the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, you guys just wait for me here."

Chen Ling spoke again.

Bi Yi still laid blankly on the ground, like a completely motionless sculpture.

Chen Ling knew this guy's habits. Not moving meant it understood. He didn't say anything more, but walked straight toward Clown Peak not far away.

Perhaps because he had just consumed too much vitality, Chen Ling's footsteps were very slow.

The outline of Clown Peak stood quietly on the rugged earth, but Chen Ling had walked for a long time and seemed to not have gotten much closer... His eyes narrowed slightly.

He stopped his footsteps.

"Li Leider." Chen Ling spoke calmly, "What do you want to do?"

The Theatrical Robe fluttered in the dim heaven and earth. Chen Ling's voice echoed clearly in the whimpering cold wind.

The void not far away suddenly rippled. A figure gently took off a black Fedora, and his body was rapidly outlined on the earth... Micro-curly hair lightly brushed in the wind, and a pair of deep blue pupils slowly opened.

"Where, did you go?" Li Leider spoke in a deep voice.

"Red Dust."

"To do what?"

Chen Ling frowned, "Why should I tell you?"

Li Leider didn't answer.

He just looked at Chen Ling quietly like this. In his deep blue pupils, an indescribably complex emotion surfaced... But the next moment, this emotion was covered up by him, replaced by a calmness unique to the King of the Fire-Stealers.

"Recently I felt that the name King of the Fire-Stealers is too long." Li Leider spoke unhurriedly,

"I want to change it... Silver King, what do you think?"

The moment the words "Silver King" came out, Chen Ling's eyes instantly narrowed.

"Where, did you hear this name?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Li Leider smiled lightly.

Chen Ling's eyes grew even colder.

"It seems successfully advancing to Demigod has given you a lot of confidence..." Chen Ling stepped out slowly.

An extremely surging World-Ending Aura agitated in all directions, and scarlet instantly swallowed the earth like a tide!

"Now, you even dare to speak to Master like this."

Chen Ling's gaze focused.

The next second,

The palm of a scarlet giant exploded with a boom from under Li Leider's feet. Like an extremely dense red cloud, it directly grabbed him into its hand!!!
