Chapter 704: Necklace
Chapter 704: Necklace
With everything passed on, there wasn't a reason for Hei Gui to remain here any longer.
Even his figure was starting to fade away as he floated there.
It was clear that whatever he was using to make himself appear here was already disappearing.
So all that was left was for him to say a few final words to them.
Hei Gui looked at the three of them and said, "Don't be in a rush and take your time. You'll find that when you look back on these times, they will bring you great joy."
The three of them immediately revealed blushes on their faces as they realized what he was talking about.
Then after that, the three of them looked like they wanted to hit him again, but Hei Gui was already disappearing, so it wasn't as if they could do that.
Then as if he suddenly remembered something, Hei Gui added, "You'll be able to control this artifact with the energy from your physique. Just inject it and say what you want, the artifact will do the rest. As well, make sure to keep that necklace on you at all times, it will protect you."
Right as soon as his voice fell, Hei Gui's figure disappeared.
He had disappeared just like he had appeared.
He had come like a storm and disappeared like a storm.
But that didn't mean that they didn't miss him.
Though Xiao Ming and Yu Huang weren't as close to him since they weren't blood related, they still thought of him as a kindly grandfather who treated them well.
As for Huang Xie, he might have been the only good relative that he had left, even if he was a fragment from the past. So losing this 'grandfather' of his was like losing a member of his family.
It didn't hurt as much as losing his mother, but it certainly hurt him to lose this 'grandfather' of his.
Xiao Ming and Yu Huang gave Huang Xie a moment so he could sort out his feelings, but it seemed that they had underestimated him.
It only took him a few seconds to sort out his feelings before he turned to them to say, "Let's go. We should head back to where everyone is."
Xiao Ming and Yu Huang looked at him with a slightly concerned look at first, but then they nodded in agreement.
Hei Gui had already told Huang Xie how to control this place, but it was hard for him to figure it out. That was until Xiao Ming told Huang Xie about what Hei Gui had shown them before.
When he heard this, Huang Xie went over to the wall and a layer of green light appeared around his hand.
That green light started seeping into the wall in front of him before he started controlling that wall with the green light.
The wall started to move just like Hei Gui had controlled it before.
However, he wasn't able to move it as much as Hei Gui had done.
That was the difference in ability between him and Hei Gui.
It took Huang Xie a few tries before he was finally able to create a hole.
This was a hole that was over thirty centimeters deep, but even then he wasn't able to find a way out.
Huang Xie was the one that attracted the most attention out of everyone, but that wasn't because of his new powers.
Rather, it was because he was the only one that was struggling to fight one of the wolves.
For some reason, it felt as if his body was heavy and it was hard for him to move. It was as if there was something that he was unfamiliar with inside of his body that made it hard for him to move the way that he wanted.
"You're fighting against it too much."
Huang Xie was caught off guard when he heard this and that caused the wolf to suddenly bite him.
However, the wolf's teeth weren't able to make it through the green light that was around Huang Xie. It wasn't even able to leave a single mark on the green light that surrounded him.
There was even one of the wolf's fangs that cracked when it bit down on Huang Xie.
Huang Xie was surprised to see this, but he also recognized just how strong his defenses had become.
So while the wolf was still dazed from this bite, Huang Xie suddenly punched out at the wolf with his hand covered in the green light.
This knocked the wolf to the ground and caused its eyes to roll back as it lost consciousness.
But not only did it lose consciousness, it lost consciousness forever as it was killed with this single punch from Huang Xie.
Huang Xie couldn't help looking at his fist with a surprised look since he never thought that he would have this kind of power.
The same voice said, "Defense isn't just for protection, defense can also be used for attacking."
Huang Xie looked around himself again as he tried to find where that voice was coming from. But he saw that everyone else was busy fighting their own enemy, so they didn't have time to pay attention to him.
At the same time, there was something about this voice that had seemed similar.
After thinking for a bit, Huang Xie realized what it was.
This voice was Hei Gui's voice!
But he should have already disappeared from this world, so how could he still be talking to him?
As if he could read Huang Xie's mind, Hei Gui said, "Down here, I'm on your neck."
Huang Xie was confused at first until he realized what it was.
The necklace that Hei Gui had given him, that was where the voice was coming from.
Or at least that was what it felt like.
But Huang Xie was even more confused since he had no idea why this necklace would be speaking in Hei Gui's voice.
"For now, don't worry about it. Take out the rest of these wolves first and then I'll explain."
Huang Xie was surprised to hear this, but he nodded in agreement in the end.
With Hei Gui's advice he was able to take care of all the wolves in just a few punches.
Though during all of this, he couldn't help wondering just where Hei Gui's voice was coming from and why he was still hearing that voice.
