Chapter 795: A Bit Awkward

"Rumble—!!"

As the two were talking, Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei had already descended. Its massive body landed on the sandy ground in front of Black Stone City's gates, stirring up a yellow sandstorm up to one hundred meters high.

The sphinxes on both sides of the city wall trembled for a moment, but their tightly closed eyes never opened.

"Click, click, click…"

Accompanied by a heavy, teeth-grating frictional sound, the city gate, built from a single piece of black gold stone, began to retract to both sides.

Amidst the rolling yellow sand, a tall figure stepped out.

That was a dark-skinned general, wearing only a simple golden breastplate, a linen battle skirt tied around his waist, and holding a golden spear radiating a death-attributed cold gleam in each hand. His pair of pupil-less grey eyes swept over Zhou Huai and Chun, and a powerful aura of a Level 80 top-tier Professionals emanated from him.

The general stopped ten meters away from Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei, bowed, placed one hand on his chest, and performed an ancient and awkward Ancient Egypt military salute.

"Daxia person."

The general's voice was low, carrying the texture of friction from dried gravel: "Lord Ancient God has been waiting for a long time, the two of you, please enter."

However, just as Zhou Huai was about to lead Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei directly into the city gate, the general's figure flashed suddenly, blocking the exact center of the city gate with his golden spear held horizontally.

"However—"

The general gave a cold glance at the massively sized Abyssal Magic Dragon, which was impatiently snorting breaths, and added: "Leave the pet outside the city. Black Stone City is a Forbidden Land of the Ancient God; mortal beasts are not allowed to enter and disturb the peace and quiet of the Ancient God."

"Roar—!!!"

As the words fell, Abyssal Magic Dragon Xiao Hei let out a deafening Dragon roar!

As a Quasi-God Level existence with a health pool exceeding 100 million and a noble Dragon Clan Bloodline, although Xiao Hei was as well-behaved as a cat in front of Zhou Huai, in front of outsiders, it was undoubtedly the overlord of the abyss.

This mere Level 80 dark-skinned Professionals right in front of it actually dared to call it a pet to its face?!

It was simply utter humiliation!

The Quasi-God Level Dragon might erupted, shaking the surrounding sand dunes into large-scale collapses, along with the two huge sphinxes on both sides of Black Stone City's gates trembling violently in this terrifying sound wave. Xiao Hei opened its abyssal giant mouth full of fangs, dark red annihilation lightning flashing wildly deep within its throat, its dark golden vertical pupils staring at the black general; as long as Zhou Huai gave a look, it would tear this loose-lipped black person into pieces!

Facing Xiao Hei's terrifying Dragon might, the black general's figure also swayed, his face turning pale, but he clenched his teeth, not retreating half a step, while the Law energy within his body operated frantically, trying to resist this high-dimensional oppression.

Zhou Huai patted Xiao Hei's Dragon horn, signaling it to retract its Dragon might.

He turned his head to look at that stubbornly enduring black general and smiled: "What if this seat insists on bringing it in?"

The general gritted his teeth, staring at Zhou Huai, and said word by word: "No one can violate the rules of Lord Ancient God. Even Your Excellency possesses heaven-defying strength, but if you want to forcefully breach Black Stone City, you must be prepared to endure the wrath of the Ancient God!"

"Endure the wrath of the Ancient God?"

Zhou Huai chuckled lightly, just about to use the space Law of Universe Reversal to directly teleport Xiao Hei into the city, or casually throw this obstructive general out.

At this moment, Chun beside him suddenly stretched out her slender fingers and gently poked Zhou Huai's shoulder.

"Forget it, Zhou Huai."

Chun yawned and said lazily: "Although that old fellow Anubis has a weird temper, he has a ton of rules. We are guarding against Mr. Duan, and we came all this way to discuss serious business; there is no need to start a fight with someone's security guard at the door over a big pet."

She glanced at the angry Little Black Dragon: "Besides, this Little Black Dragon is so huge that the narrow streets in the city probably cannot fit it. If you forcibly bring it in, in case you break someone's black stone flowerpot, you'll still have to pay compensation."

"Roar?!" Xiao Hei let out an aggrieved low roar, thinking to itself, who is a pet! This Dragon is a noble Quasi-God Level Magic Dragon!

"Alright, say a little less."

Zhou Huai shook his head somewhat helplessly. He soothingly patted Xiao Hei's massive Dragon head and coaxed softly: "Xiao Hei, just grievance yourself a bit and stay outside the city. If any changes happen inside the city, I can summon you in the Soul link at any time, and then you can directly tear down this city wall and rush in, understand?"

"Wu…"

Although Xiao Hei was reluctant, it obeyed the command of its master, Zhou Huai. It rubbed its huge head against Zhou Huai's palm, then fiercely glared at that black general, let out a threatening low roar, and only then turned around, its massive body lying on a huge sand dune outside the city, biting into its Alligator Snapping Turtle meat ball, and gnawing on it glumly.

Seeing that the Abyssal Magic Dragon finally compromised, the black general also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, put away his spear, and stepped aside to make way.

"Two of you, please follow me. Lord Ancient God has been waiting for you for a long time in the main hall at the top of the pyramid."

Zhou Huai put his hands in his pockets, walked side by side with Chun, and stepped into this ancient and mysterious Black Stone City.

As soon as he stepped across the city gate, Zhou Huai noticed an extremely covert fluctuation occurring in the surrounding space.

"Here… truly forms a world of its own."

Through Victor's spatial perception within his body, Zhou Huai clearly perceived that the Law gravity inside Black Stone City was at least five times stronger than outside. Not only that, what drifted in the air was not the elemental mana commonly seen in the present world, but a kind of grey energy particles carrying decay, death, and the accumulation of years.

The moment he stepped through the city gate, the howling sound of fierce winds and yellow sand by his ears abruptly stopped.

Greeting him was an unexpected prosperity and hustle and bustle that exceeded Zhou Huai's expectations.

On both sides of the wide black stone street, ancient stone buildings were neatly arranged, and the long street was packed with people, extremely lively. Cries of hawking and laughter intertwined; if not for the obelisks standing on both sides of the street and the grey particles pervading the air, Zhou Huai would have developed the illusion of returning to a tourist ancient city in the present world.

"Take a look, come see! Dried scarabs just picked from the oasis, clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling evil Qi!"

"Praise the Ancient God, the great Anubis blesses us!"

On the street, quite a few commoners wearing white linen robes were devoutly worshipping towards the towering black pyramid in the center of the city as if no one else was around. Their expressions were fanatical and sincere, and they muttered ancient hymns in their mouths.

Not only that, in the center of the long street, there was also a troupe of men and women dressed in fine attire singing and dancing along the roadside. Crisp drumbeats and ethereal flute sounds echoed in the air, their dance steps graceful and rhythmic; whenever they passed by Zhou Huai and Chun, these dancers would also stop their movements, smile brightly at the two, and bow to greet them.

Zhou Huai nodded politely, his expression gentle.

However, when he withdrew his gaze, he withdrew his gentleness.

"Stop looking, if you look anymore your eyeballs are going to fall out."

Chun shook the wooden jar in her hand on the side, with a casually snatched dried fruit stuffed in her mouth, chewing while glancing sideways at Zhou Huai.

"What did you notice?"

While following the black general leading the way ahead, Zhou Huai transmitted his voice via mental fluctuations: "These people… are very awkward."

"Oh? How are they awkward?" Chun asked with a half-smile.
