Chapter 1114: Chapter 507: Promotion to Legend_2

"Rest assured, we won’t get lost; I have something to guide us." Mu You took out the map fragment and showed it.

The fairy girl was taken aback upon hearing this, fell silent for a few seconds, then looked at him somewhat aggrievedly, "Master, do you dislike me?"

Even though she was careless, she could still sense the distance Mu You kept from her.

"How could I..."

Mu You hurriedly waved his hands, wanting to explain, but then he remembered what Ling Long had just said, and stopped himself mid-sentence.

"Alright, you lead the way," Mu You said.

"Alright!"

The fairy girl nodded in excitement, just like a child who received affirmation from an adult, and happily flew into the dark cave.

"Sigh..." Mu You watched the fairy girl’s disappearing figure and sighed, then he had no choice but to follow her jump in.

Upon entering the dark cave, it was as black as described in the text.

Luckily, after Mu You had taken the Kirin Arm, the Wind Element within had returned to normal, no longer prohibiting flight.

Mu You directly took out a broom, caught the fairy girl to place her on his shoulder, and under her guidance, they flew downward.

This flight made Mu You instantly feel the difference; previously, when flying in the game, he would encounter a Dark Cave Beast attack every minute or two, but this time, he flew for quite a while without encountering a single one.

"The Lord of Calamity has been slaughtering Dark Cave Beasts on this path to the bottom of the cave for years; over time, the beasts have instinctively learned not to approach this area, making this path safe," the fairy girl seemed to sense his question and took the initiative to explain.

"Oh?"

Mu You’s mind stirred upon hearing this, "Do you often see the Lord of Calamity in the dark cave?"

"Yes, because I frequently travel between the dark cave and the surface, whenever there are commands or missions, the Lord of Calamity actively finds me, entrusting me to convey his messages," the fairy girl said.

Mu You urgently asked, "Then do you know what the Lord of Calamity has been busy with in secret these past years?"

"I don’t know..." The fairy girl shook her head, "The dark cave is really too vast, and the Lord of Calamity always appears and disappears at will; I don’t meet him often, and our exchanges are brief before he vanishes..."

After saying this, the fairy girl hesitated, and with some uncertainty said, "Although he is very aloof and indifferent, I can feel that he is doing something ’right,’ and it seems like he has been eagerly awaiting the day you return..."

"Is that so..."

Mu You frowned, not asking further.

Thanks to the fairy girl’s guidance, the journey was much shorter than expected; in just about two hours, the two of them reached the bottom of the cave.

Mu You immediately saw the only light in the underground, controlled his broom to rush toward it, and hovered in front of the light.

The source of the light was the barrier that once belonged to the Fairy King, but now its Guardian had been replaced by the Watchman.

Contrary to expectation, Mu You thought that after spending a full four thousand years cooped up in such a small space, the current Watchman would either have transcended into a Buddha or crumbled into madness.

However, when Mu You arrived, the Watchman was casually lying on his side within the barrier, one hand propping up his head.

There was some sort of fruit tray on the ground, and Tina was kneeling in front of it, carefully peeling and cutting each piece of fruit, then flinging them into his mouth.

"Eh? The original body, long time no see!" The Watchman’s eyes lit up when he saw Mu You, and then he sat up from the ground, "I was counting the days, and you should have been coming soon, but I didn’t expect you to show up today!"

"You seem quite comfortable..." Mu You looked at the Watchman with a strange expression.

Currently, the Watchman’s appearance was almost unchanged from four thousand years ago. The only difference was that his dark circles had significantly intensified, resembling Gaara.

"How could I not be comfortable? I don’t have to work every day, can be as lazy as I want, sleep until I naturally wake, and someone even serves me meals. It’s like living like an emperor, I wouldn’t mind staying here for another four thousand years..." The Watchman said, stretching his arms.

"Tina is not serving you! Tina just happened to find a string of Crystal Fruits when stepping out, and since Tina doesn’t like sour things, to avoid waste, she generously graced you with them. Now be quiet and eat," Tina, seemingly annoyed by the Watchman’s words, blushed and hugged the remaining fruits, shoving them all roughly into the Watchman’s mouth.

"Sleeping every day, what’s with those dark circles?" Mu You ignored their banter and asked curiously.

The Watchman hastily swallowed the food in his mouth and then managed to catch his breath, smiling wryly, "Poor sleep, it’s all because Little Eight bothers me every day, causing my biological clock to be constantly irregular..."

"Little Eight?" Mu You froze.

"Oh, that’s the name I gave this guy." The Watchman pointed upwards.

"This guy keeps muttering ’I will eventually Devour you,’ ’fear is immortal,’ and other similarly ’edgy’ phrases in my ear every night before sleeping. It’s so expressive, what can I do but get back at it? As a result, every night involves tiring each other out before we can rest, and over time, I ended up like this..."

The Watchman pointed to his own eye sockets, then added, "As for Little Eight, it’s because the first story I told it was the tale of Hachikō, which utterly captivated it, so I just went with that name."

"Rubbish! I am the Serpent Incarnate, the root of all fear in the world! Not a dog!"
