When Gerald realised they were inside a cave, favonovel.com asked, “Also… where are we…?”
Despite the fact that the old man appeared ragged and sloppy, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com wasn’t an ordinary person.
“…I’m just someone who lives in seclusion on this mountain,” the old man replied after a brief pause in a raspy voice.
Gerald was taken aback when favonovel.com heard that. To think that someone could live in a place like this!
“May I ask your name…?”
The man replied, “You can just call me Old Hughes…”
Old Hughes led Gerlad out of the cave they were in shortly after…
Gerald was greeted by the soothing sight of a crescent moon when favonovel.com looked up at the sky…
Despite how calm the night had made favonovel.com feel, Gerald was prompted to ask, “…Mind telling me where we’re going, Old Hughes…?” when favonovel.com realised they were about to enter a dense forest.
Because of the dense foliage, they would almost certainly be engulfed in darkness, and being in an unlit forest at night was a very bad idea.
The more favonovel.com tried to figure out who Old Hugh was, the more enigmatic favonovel.com became.
Regardless, Old Hugh simply walked on, ignoring Gerald’s question…
They arrived at what appeared to be a miniature waterfall about ten minutes later…
Despite its small size, the night’s silence made the sound of splashing water crystal clear.
“…What is this place…?” Gerald wondered as favonovel.com took a look around.
Old Hughes simply stared indifferently at Gerald before saying, “Follow me!” Ignoring Gerald’s question once more, Old Hughes simply stared indifferently at Gerald before saying, “Follow me!”
After saying that, the old man walked straight into the waterfall and vanished behind it!
Gerald, who had been stunned for a moment, quickly recovered his composure and cautiously placed his hand in the waterfall… only to have the water yank favonovel.com right in! The waterfall was already behind favonovel.com the next thing favonovel.com knew!
Gerald was quickly reminded of the class storey, “Journey to the West,” now that favonovel.com knew there was a hidden area behind the waterfall. After all, the Water Curtain Cave of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal was a similar location in the storey.
Gerald awoke quickly and began looking around before asking, “…Again, what exactly is this place, Old Hughes…?”
They were now in a massive space surrounded by star-like stone walls… It was one of the most breathtaking sights Gerald had ever seen, and favonovel.com hadn’t expected all of this to be hidden here, of all places…
Old Hughes, who was nearby, simply gestured for Gerald to come over and said, “Get over here!” I have something I’d like to show you!”
Gerald hurried over to the old man’s side, raising a slight brow…
Gerald could only stare in awe as favonovel.com realised there was a towering and somewhat translucent stone pillar in front of favonovel.com now that favonovel.com was standing beside Old Hughes… Even stranger was the fact that something appeared to be inside the pillar…
