Chapter 33: It Had to Be Simple and Crude

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Feng Buhuo and Leng Hanyan finally arrived at the centre of the camp.

This was a huge circular formation.

At the centre of the formation was a stone pillar that was several meters tall.

In the entire camp, this seemed to be the only place that was different from the others.

The sounds coming from underground were especially obvious here.

Feng Buhuo concluded that this must be the location of the passageway.

But the question was, where was the entrance?

Feng Buhuo circled the stone pillar several times.

This stone pillar was very thick and needed three people to surround it.

“There must be something about this thick stone pillar.”

Leng Hanyan also felt that something was not right.

“I suspect that the entrance is related to this stone pillar. I just don’t know how to find it.”

Feng Buhuo did not answer. Instead, he rubbed his chin and carefully examined this pillar.

Seeing this, Leng Hanyan did not want to disturb him anymore.

She could only follow suit and examine the pillar by knocking at it a few times.

From time to time, she would lie on her stomach and listen with her ears on the ground.

However, the sound coming from the ground was not clear. In other words, it was not as obvious as the sound she heard from the pillar.

It could be inferred that the half-orcs must have hidden their prey very deeply.

However, this was not surprising. After all, in this apocalyptic world, food and water were extremely precious resources.

Although they were not as rare as source cores, without these resources, no matter how strong and prosperous a race was, they would all die.

Therefore, it was an unquestionable fact that the half-orcs would hide their prey very deeply.

Little Fatty and the others walked over at this time.

This camp was really not small. Even if they split up to search, they still spent a lot of time and effort.

But of course, they did not find anything.

All of them were a little dejected.

“Buhuo, did you guys find something?”

“Don’t disturb him. This pillar is quite strange. There’s probably a trap or something.”

Leng Hanyan explained to them what she and Buhuo have thought.

The group of people became interested and started discussing.

“I think we should try to move this pillar away.”

“No, no, if it’s that simple, can it still be called a trap?”

“That’s right. Besides, it’s such a big pillar. We can’t move it.”

“I think there should be some kind of sealing spell on this pillar. It won’t work with brute force.”

…

Everyone felt that this stone pillar was definitely not simple. Perhaps it was protected by the half-orc’s secret spell.

Or perhaps it had the seal of a mage.

In short, if they did not use the right method, they would definitely not be able to enter.

In the end, the group of people discussed it over and over, but they did not have a solution.

Rumble, rumble…

Someone’s stomach was growling.

Arguing was also something that took a lot of effort.

For Little Fatty and the others who had not eaten for more than a day, their hunger had already reached an unbearable level.

“Oh my god, what are we going to do with this thing?”

“I didn’t expect that I, Little Fatty, would be starved to death instead of dying at the hands of the half-orcs. How pitiful!”

“You think you are the only one who is wise. I think you are shameless. It’s good to starve you a few times, but can you still bear to watch the layers of fat on your body?”

As he spoke, Magic Wolf was about to pinch the fats on Little Fatty’s waist.

In the end, Little Fatty pretended to be angry and slapped his hand away.

“Hmph, it’s my business. If you have the spare time to tease me, you might as well think about what to do.”

“You still don’t know me? I only know how to use my hands. I can’t do things that use my brain.”

“How about we just destroy this pillar?”

Feng Buhuo muttered.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was unknown whether it was because of Feng Buhuo or what he had said, in an instant, everyone shut their mouths and looked at Feng Buhuo in surprise.

After a long while, Little Fatty asked, “Buhuo, are you serious?”

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Feng Buhuo slowly nodded.

“I don’t think there’s any seal on this pillar. Maybe it’s just a trick.”

“Besides, with the half-orc’s incomplete brain development, I don’t think they’ll be able to come up with something difficult.”

His words seemed very reasonable.

But Little Fatty and the others didn’t dare to agree.

Actually, it wasn’t their fault. They were definitely following Feng Buhuo’s instructions. But subconsciously, they felt that it wouldn’t be that simple.

Just like how an ordinary person would look for treasure.

Of course, the more complicated the treasure map was, the higher the possibility that there was a treasure.

If it was too simple, even if they gave it to someone directly, they might even think that it was a prank.

“No, Buhuo, I don’t think you should think that way.”

“That’s right, Buhuo. I think we still need to consider this matter from a long-term perspective.”

“This matter isn’t that simple. We need to…”

Everyone spoke one after another. In the end, their noises directly woke up Little Fiery, who was resting on Feng Buhuo’s shoulder.

Little Fiery was originally sleeping soundly, but his beautiful dream was interrupted.

It got up in a fit of anger.

It listened carefully for a while before figuring out what they were arguing about.

Hmph, I thought what had happened.

It seems that you guys are so noisy just for such a small matter.

If Feng Buhuo wants you to destroy this pillar, then destroy it.

Why do you have to disturb my sleep here.

Little Fiery snorted and flew into the air.

It flew toward the pillar.

Everyone turned pale with fright.

Did Little Fiery want to destroy the pillar?

Feng Buhuo didn’t expect Little Fiery to suddenly make such a move.

However, this was his idea, so he naturally wouldn’t stop Little Fiery.

“Little Fiery, don’t be rash.”

“Little Fiery, come back quickly. We haven’t decided yet!”

Hmph, I’ll do whatever I want to do. It does not have to do with whether you all want it or not.

Thus, amidst everyone’s loud shouts, Little Fiery roared.

It opened its mouth and a ball of flames shot out like a missile.

With a long trail of light, it flew towards the pillar.

Rumble!

There was a loud sound.

The flames slammed into the pillar, causing countless sparks and dust to fly instantly.

The huge stone pillar was submerged by the waves of fire, giving out crackling fire sounds.

The extreme heat was dissolving the stone pillar’s body.

Little Fatty and the others couldn’t help but pat their heads.

Hiss!

They were too careless.

If this was the case, they might never find the entrance.

Are we going to starve again?

Feng Buhuo was filled with anticipation.

Little Fiery indeed belonged to the dragon race. The power of its flames could even burn rocks.

And it wasn’t just burning in the ordinary sense.

He had seen it clearly just now. It was almost at the moment the flames came into contact with it, the stone pillar began to fall apart.

In just a short moment, the flames had already subsided.

Because the stone pillar had been completely burned into a pile of ash.

However, the next scene made everyone’s eyes widen.

The cries of the underground prey became clearer, and a pitch-black and deep hole appeared before everyone’s eyes..
