Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 574: Chapter 536: Long Bo’s Divine Skills

Zhang San approached the windows and discovered they were all made of colored glaze. He could see everything outside but was unable to break through them.

Therefore, the method of leaving through the windows was clearly not going to work.

Looking around the rest of the room, Zhang San found that there were only two other possible exits.

One was the room’s main door, which would necessarily have to be opened whenever someone came to deliver something to him, and at that time, he would figure out a way to slip out.

The other was a skylight on the ceiling.

Standing beneath the skylight, Zhang San felt the cool air slowly descending from it and immediately performed Ninefold Scrutiny.

Sure enough, Zhang San saw an operating Formation around the skylight.

Under the effect of the Formation, the air outside the skylight couldn’t freely enter, only allowing a part of the air to come in, which is why there was a gentle flow of cool air coming down from the skylight.

The room was warm, and it seemed as though the skylight, based on the room’s temperature, regulated the speed at which the cold air entered, keeping the room temperature just perfectly comfortable.

With this in mind, an idea couldn’t help but form in Zhang San’s mind.

Zhang San moved to the window and waved down at Hei below.

Seeing no one else around, Hei immediately transformed into a human and leaped to the outside of the window.

"Master, how shall I rescue you?"

Zhang San grinned and said, "I don’t know either, but first, try to see if you can get in from the skylight."

Zhang San felt that as long as one could get in, there would definitely be a way to get out.

Hei leaped up to the skylight, first stretching his hand in to try.

But his hand was directly blocked by an invisible barrier, able only to stretch in a little bit.

Zhang San realized it must have been the Formation around the skylight, which, because it was responsible for regulating the room’s temperature, would not allow a large amount of cold air to enter.

With that thought, Zhang San immediately released a ball of flame to increase the temperature inside the room.

Then Zhang San looked up to Hei at the skylight and signaled with his eyes for Hei to try again.

Indeed, this time Hei found it much easier when he extended his hand.

So, Zhang San began to release countless fireballs inside the room, not to set the house on fire but to raise the room’s temperature. That way, the skylight would open widely, giving Hei a chance to enter.

As the room’s temperature rose, the skylight changed from filtering the wind to absorbing it.

Hei’s form shifted, transforming back into a Black Chi Dragon, this time straining to reduce his size significantly, and then followed the wind inside.

After entering, Zhang San let the fireballs dissipate, and soon the room returned to normal.

Zhang San then pressed his ear to the room’s door to listen outside. Not detecting any unusual sounds, he concluded that no one discovered Hei’s entrance.

"Master, do you have a plan to escape?"

Zhang San shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I don’t think they’ll leave us here forever; they have to bring us food at least. Meal delivery is a good opportunity."

As he was speaking, Zhang San suddenly thought of another method of leaving.

If Hei could sneak in when a large amount of cold air was entering from outside, then if the room was exceptionally cold, wouldn’t the skylight suck out the cold air, allowing him and Hei to plan their escape together?

"Come on, I have a new method."

With that, Zhang San began to use his Cultivation Technique to cool the room down.

But he soon realized that although he knew many Cultivation Techniques, he didn’t know an Ice Series Spell.

In other words, he could produce fire, but not reduce the temperature.

"Hei, do you have the ability to turn water into ice?"

Hei shook his head.

Zhang San sighed and glanced at the room’s door, murmuring, "Then we can only wait for them to bring us food. By the way, just in case, you need to transform into my appearance now."

Hei, in human form, frowned and said, "Master, I don’t know how to do that!"

"No worries, I know Wood Series Techniques; I can disguise you. However..."

Zhang San went on, reminding, "If I disguise you as me, it means that once there’s a chance, I might make a run for it. You’ll be left behind to cover for me. There’s a risk that I might escape while you’re caught and left here. Hei, can you do that?"

Hei chuckled and said, "Master, we always believed the human race wasn’t that great, but after meeting you, I realized that you are actually very generous. Not only are you good to me, but to Baili Niezhen and the others as well. In your eyes, there’s never been a division between the Demon Clan and the human race; we are all friends! And during my time with you, I have also consumed a massive amount of Cultivation Resources, which greatly improved me. You even taught me Cultivation Techniques, which brought me significant advancement."

"These advancements are something I might not have achieved even if I sequestered myself in bitter cultivation for thirty or even fifty years!"

"If staying behind helps you escape, then that’s fantastic."

Zhang San had been worried that Hei might not agree to cover for him and escape.

He never expected Hei to show such gratitude and loyalty.

This wasn’t just characteristic of the Demon Clan; not every human could be so understanding!

"Well... then I’ll thank you in advance."

With that, Zhang San began to disguise Hei, making him take on his own appearance.
