Chapter 2243 Meeting Underground
Han Sen looked around the cave, but he couldn’t find another exit . He wasn’t in much of a rush, though . He released Little Star from Destiny’s Tower .

“Little Star, let’s see how you do here . ” Han Sen leaped atop Little Star .
“Ookini Ookini!” Little Star bellowed . Starlight began to glow softly from its form as its body—and Han Sen’s—started to become transparent . Then, it raced into the stone .
Little Star had only been gone for ten minutes when Edward appeared in the mouth of the cave . After he entered, he had a look around .
“Not here?” Edward frowned . He was confident in the logical process that had led him there . It took him by surprise when Han Sen was nowhere to be found .
“This guy is a lot of trouble to deal with . Every creature leaves traces of their presence, even if it is only a couple of molecules . He hasn’t left behind anything, however . How has he managed to do something like that?” Edward frowned as he continued poking around .
Although he hadn’t found Han Sen, Edward felt certain that his quarry had indeed entered this cave .
“My lead comes to a dead-end here . It looks as if I will have to find him by another means,” Edward observed to himself, looking around the nest . He looked at one of the walls and then took his leave .
With Little Star’s help, Han Sen had traveled directly through the stone . Together, they must have gone at least a few hundred miles before reaching another underground cave .
Han Sen let Little Star rest for a bit while he went to look around the cave .

“I don’t think Edward will be able to find me anytime soon, but regardless, I cannot emerge just yet . I need to find out what is so special about that stone plate . ” Han Sen looked around . That cavern they had found was a segment of a complicated subterranean complex .
That area was devoid of xenogeneics, so Han Sen settled in to rest for a while . As he leaned back against a comfortable outcropping of stone, he thought about how he might proceed .
“The stone plate seems to be something of tremendous value, and very few people know what powers it holds . Some of the upper-echelon of the Extreme King might know, but at the very least, King Bai doesn’t seem to be aware of it . If he was, Ice Blue Knight King wouldn’t have risked disobeying his orders . Sending me back to the Extreme King means giving the stone plate to King Bai . ” Han Sen was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a sound coming from deeper within the stone cave . It sounded as if something was crawling around . Visit website our Listnovel . com
Han Sen peered into the cave with his Dongxuan Aura activated . He detected a lifeforce was getting closer to his position .
The lifeforce didn’t seem to be very strong, though, and that helped settle Han Sen’s nerves .
The noise was getting closer, and a few minutes later, Han Sen saw a weird xenogeneic appear in the cave .
A body covered in sleek black fur appeared . It looked startlingly smooth, and its fur glistened . It was about the size of a cat, and its eyes were huge, like shiny pieces of black jewelry . It looked like a big-eyed thief .
Han Sen looked at the xenogeneic, and the xenogeneic looked back at him . They both stared at each other for a while .
Then, the xenogeneic just ignored him . It turned to saunter down another stone path . Its butt wiggled as it walked, waving its tail in a slow rhythm .

Han Sen raised an eyebrow, as the creature’s tail seemed to be holding an item that looked like a bracelet .
It was odd to see the piece of platinum attached to the creature’s tail, rather than being held in the creature’s claws . It looked like the item had been deliberately placed there, though .
Han Sen used his Purple-Eye Butterfly to take a closer look, and he noticed there were a few words inscribed across the item .
“Sacred General Ghost Bone . ” Han Sen’s eyes widened, and he made the decision to follow that little critter .
“Is that thing related to General Ghost Bone, by any chance? It doesn’t seem nearly strong enough . At the very most, that thing is no greater than a Viscount . If General Ghost Bone wanted a pet, I doubt he would select something that was so weak . ” Han Sen wasn’t in a rush to take down the little beast, and so he just trailed after it .
The little beast showed no sign that it was afraid of him . Without pausing, it meandered its way down a series of caves . It wasn’t in a hurry, and its pace was quite lackadaisical .
Han Sen followed it patiently down the tunnels . And the whole time, he had many thoughts going through his mind . “That ancient city was called Ghost Bone Town, but the Ghost Bone statue there was just like a guard for the gate . Inside the hall of the palace, there was a statue of that Human King . The top of the Human King Statue is what pedestaled the stone plate . What does that mean, I wonder?”
After the beast had been traveling for about an hour, it reached a hidden river . It crouched down on its stomach so it could drink some water .
“This guy has walked so far . Surely he didn’t come all this way for a drink of water,” Han Sen thought in agitation .

Eventually, the beast seemed to have drunk its fill . Without any warning, it leaped into the dark river . It lay on its back in the water like an otter, floating down with the stream .
Han Sen put Little Star away and followed after it .
But soon, the underground river sank into the ground . The creature sank into it, as well . Han Sen gritted his teeth and jumped into the water . He used his Purple-Eye Butterfly as he followed after the creature .
The underground water was fast-flowing, and it was fortunate that Han Sen didn’t encounter any water element xenogeneics . Han Sen followed it for a few hundred miles, but there seemed to be no end in sight .
After an interminable time in the water, the floating beast suddenly swam towards a wall .
Han Sen looked towards it, and there, he saw a small tunnel leading through the stone wall . The hole was around the size of a melon, and the creature wriggled its way in without much trouble .
Han Sen was too big, so he couldn’t follow it in . He summoned Little Star to carry him inside .
Han Sen soon discovered that the hole hadn’t formed naturally . It was actually a metal pipe .
“Why is there a man-made metal pipe here?” Han Sen was surprised .
The little beast drifted down the metal pipe, and Han Sen pursued it atop Little Star . They traveled a couple of miles before the tunnel brightened and Little Star emerged from the wall .
As he looked around, Han Sen found himself gaping in surprise . That place was an underground palace . The metal pipe he had followed brought him out via the mouth of a giant fish statue . Water flowed continuously out of the tube, creating a small waterfall down into a pool .
The pool was made of jade-like stone . The water was very clear, and Han Sen could see all the way to the bottom .
But when Han Sen looked closer, he froze . Inside the pool, there was a black-and-white eye staring back at him .
Han Sen gazed into that stony stare, and his breath caught in his chest .
