Chapter 46 Missing

Saitaisui and Black Killer were anxious. If Fire Dragon and Bailin Fairy's souls could not return to their bodies, they dared not leave any room for manoeuver. They could only have hatred in their minds. They were desirable and waiting for the opportunity.

The two monsters greedily looked at the two magical treasures, but had to look at them. They felt really upset and had to retreat to the outside of the hole, making another plan.

Saitaisui and Black Killer could not get the treasures and had no way to save their accomplices' souls. However, they were not willing to give up and did not know what to do.

Anxiously, they thought of the hostage— the first prince of Tianyue Country. They came up with a bad idea. Since the two monsters had no way to do with Xiao Tianlong, they could only get what they wanted from the first prince and then killed him in case of his reattack.

Saitaisui and Black Killer came to the woods with hope and went straight to the place where the first prince was tied.

Before they arrived, they were shocked and stunned for a while.

It turned out that there was no one there, but only the ropes wrapped around the tree, while there was no trace of the first prince.

The two monsters rushed towards the tree and could not figure out what happened. The ropes were not untied, so how could the first prince escape?

If the first prince was eaten by monsters, there must be some leftovers or fragments of his broken clothes left. However, there was no trace of blood on the tree and ground or leftover.

If someone came to save him, the ropes must be untied or cut off. However, the ropes remained the same and seemed that no one had moved them, which were still wrapped around the tree.

The ropes were still the same and the knots were still there. Since he was not swallowed by monsters or did not rescue by someone else, how could the first prince disappear?

The two monsters tied the first prince on the tree firmly by themselves, leaving him no room to struggle or even escape. It was really a strange thing.

The two monsters were puzzled. They were suspicious and discussing, but there was no result.

The first prince's ability was plain, so he could not escape from the ropes and escape by himself. What happened over there?

It was a weird and incredible thing, but just happened. It was unbelievable.

Looking at the untied ropes on the tree, Saitaisui and Black Killer could not figure out the reasons. It was unbelievable, but they could only face the truth.

They were frustrated and felt angry, shouting.

Saitaisui and Black Killer had no way to conquer Xiao Tianlong and could not get the two treasures. They could only sigh for not saving out Fire Dragon and Bailin Fairy's souls.

They wanted to get everything they wanted from the first prince, but the only hope was shattered.

Now, the first prince disappeared and had nowhere to catch him. They could only find a way later.

Suddenly, Saitaisui screamed, "Something wrong! Go!"

When he was saying, he pulled Black Killer up and jumped to the hole, hurriedly running towards the Tongtian Hole.

Saitaisui entered the cave with uneasiness and found that the small hole was still flashing in the blue light. The precious charm was attached on the rock wall. His tight nerves immediately relaxed and he took a deep breath.

He got back to the outside and looked around. Then, he sat down.

It turned out that the lion elf suddenly remembered something, fearing that the first prince would take the opportunity to sneak into the cave to rescue Xiao Tianlong.

If the first prince succeeded and let Xiao Tianlong out, everything was over. Not only the two accomplices of them could not keep their souls, but also he and Black Killer would also be in great danger.

Fortunately, they did not leave the time for the prince to save the imperial master. The amazing change did not happen. They could be at ease temporarily.

The horrible Xiao Tianlong had been banned. Saitaisui and Black Killer had nothing to fear. They started to worry about the aftermath and discuss what to do.

Thinking for a while, they believed that since Fire Dragon and Bailin Fairy's souls were absorbed in the soul-absorbing vase right in the hole, they still had chances. They could not abandon the chance and had to find ways to save them out.

Now, the souls of the two accomplices could not return to the flesh temporarily. They had to insist on and find the opportunity to try to rescue.

What Saitaisui and Black Killer worried most was not the strong enemy Xiao Tianlong, but feared that the souls of their two accomplices would be taken to the alienated world. If so, there was no hope anymore. Fire Dragon and Bailin Fairy would only live like a puppet for this life.

In addition, there were two unique treasures in the world. They could not give up and must get it.

What was even more hateful was that the two enemies from another world were over there. They could not allow them to escape and must take revenge.

Saitaisui and Black Killer did not know where the first prince went and was afraid of an accident.

However, they asserted that the first prince would not leave alone without the imperial master and must find ways to rescue Xiao Tianlong.

This was also the most worrying thing for the two monsters. If the first prince entered Tongtian Hole and once he picked up the charm, the imperial master would get out and everything would be turned into nothing.

If Xiao Tianlong escaped out, he must take the two treasures away. The souls of Fire Dragon and Bailin Fairy would disappear forever. They would become ghosts in an alienated world and could not be saved forever.

This kind of worry was inevitable and possible. For this, Saitaisui decided to ask Black Killer to guard here to protect both the two treasures and the souls of their brothers. Besides, he could prevent the first prince to get into Tongtian Hole to save Xiao Tianlong.

Black Killer was very interested in this huge and complex cave and camped there. He began to build his own cave.

He was staying here, not only to prevent the first prince to enter the Tongtian Hole, but also to have his own idea. This monster was more concerned about the two beloved treasures and hoped to find ways to get them.

Black Bear Demon hoped to possess the two magical treasures. Once the wish reached, the situation now would totally be changed or his fate would even be changed.

By that time, he would be the invincible hegemon of the world. The whole world would belong to him and could be obtained at will.

With these treasures, he could order all the experts in this world and no one dared to disobey him. Even the horrible Earth God must follow his order obediently.

Black Bear Demon thought it over that if the Earth God dared to resist, he would use the vase to absorb his soul and then he would listen to his order. From then on, he could order the loyal Snow Sculpture elf as his guard and get rid of anyone who disobeyed him.

The more Black Killer thought, the happier he would be. He felt greatly pleasant in and out of his heart, It seemed that his ambition of hegemony had been realized.

This was just an idea in his mind and an expectable desire. He dared not publicize this everywhere, but needed to fight for it secretly until the dream came true.

Black Killer did not hope to share his power with others and wanted to possess these two treasures on his own, so that he could realize his grand wish. He would not tell anyone.

He did not tell Saitaisui because he was afraid that his first sworn brother would rob the treasures. If so, his ambition to dominate the world would be ruined, and would be looked down upon by the first brother or even be blamed.

Saitaisui was not a normal monster but scheming, whose mind was much more flexible and complicated than Black Killer. One thing he was worried most and made him feel restless.

The lion elf knew Black Killer could not guard by the Tongtian Hole all the time. Once there was an omission, the first prince might take the chance.

Once he entered the Tongtian Hole and saved Xiao Tianlong out, the result would be miserable. Fire Dragon and Bailin Fairy would lose their souls forever.

Maybe, the two enemies would find him and Black Killer to take revenge. It was hard to tell the ending. Perhaps, they would have the same tragic results as their accomplices.

In this regard, Saitaisui could not help worrying about this and must find a countermeasure.

After thinking about it again and again, he finally got the idea, and immediately applied the demon method to seal the hole where the Tongtian Precious Carriage was located. Then, he could be at ease.

The lion elf was very thoughtful, while the demon method was in a special arrangement. He was also putting an eye on it.

The demon method he arranged on it was unusual. It was typical to block the outsiders to get in or out. To be precise, it was only used to prevent the first prince of Tianyue Country to get inside.

If he stopped anyone to get into the Tongtian Hole, Black Killer could not get inside. Being a lack of cultivation, Black Bear Demon had no ability to break or arrange the ban to seal the hole and had no way to look after the two treasures and the trapped Xiao Tianlong.

In addition to the first prince, the two monsters were not afraid of others entering the Tongtian Hole, no matter how powerful he was. The one who entered this place would be tempted by the treasures and his soul would be inadvertently absorbed by the soul-absorbing vase.

Anyone whose soul was absorbed would lose his consciousness and become a walking dead. Such a "walking dead" had no ability to resist, nor consciousness. He was just like a weak bug, which could be disposed of at will.

Black Killer stayed here and felt satisfied with the majestic scenery, excited about having such a hearty cave.

He named this new place of residence, calling this mountain as Black Tiger Mountain while this cave as Black Tiger Cave.

Although he could not control Tongtian Precious Carriage and the soul-absorbing vase, the two treasures were in his cave, which could be called the protecting treasures of this cave.

Talking of this, his thought was not fake. Although Black Killer did not know the way and spells to control the soul-absorbing vase, this treasure helped him a lot indeed. When he encountered a strong enemy and could not resist, he would hide in the Black Tiger Cave and tried to introduce his enemy into Tongtian Hole.

At this time, the soul-absorbing vase would show its power and absorbed the person's soul when he stepped onto the Tongtian Precious Carriage. Therefore, no matter how tough his opponent was, he would become an unconscious walking dead and a servant of Black Killer.

Although Black Killer did not have the ability to control the soul-absorbing vase, this magical treasure could be for his own use. It was natural for him to consider the two treasures as his own.

When Black Killer encountered strong enemies such as Brown Bear Demon Wind-blown Monster and vixen Misty Flower and had no abilities to fight against, he introduced them into the Tongtian Hole and took use of the vase to absorb their souls.

As a result, these elves became ignorant corpses, serving for Black Killer and used to refine the elixirs.

Those whose souls had been absorbed had no consciousness, but would listen to Black Killer's orders, which made people feel puzzled.

Perhaps, they had special perceptions of the will of the master of this hole. It might be a kind of unclear feeling, so they could only follow the Black Killer's orders.

Black Killer was more excited with this treasure and gained the feeling of being the owner of this vase. Therefore, his private desire expanded and his ambition to dominate the world deepened.

Black Bear Demon was very arrogant and thought that the day he could conquer this world would come soon. His reputation would be totally changed.

By then, he would become the hegemon of the world. No one dared not violate his authority and must surrender, including his first sworn brother Saitaisui.

...

Hearing Xiao Tianlong and the first prince's adventure, Zhang Yunyan was impressed and worried about the first prince's safety. He was in great danger. She hoped that he would not be caught by Black Killer and his first sworn brother again and waited for the imperial master to come back to save him.

Xiao Tianlong and Zhang Yunyan rode the carriage. After nearly an hour, they got out of the mountains.

There, mountains were undulating, while plains were connected with the mountains. Hills showed up from time to time. Bushes and wildflowers were everywhere. Birds were flying, beasts were running, and rivers and streams were flowing, which was too clear and the bottom could be seen.

Outside the mountains, it was silent, showing the vitality of life. It was a rare and deserted place.

Suddenly, Zhang Yunyan seemed to find something and immediately jumped out of the carriage.

Xiao Tianlong felt a little surprised and wore a puzzled look at Yunyan...
