Chapter 229 - 221: Enemies Come to Kill (3/3)
"Why hasn’t Zhou woken up yet?" Black Donkey kicked his hooves out of boredom.
Three days had passed, but Zhou Heng was still in the same comatose state as before, and his skeletal frame, which looked like flowing gold, was actually emitting rolling heat. His entire body seemed to be steeped in a steamer, and one could feel the terrifying heat waves by just getting close.
This Black Donkey still had some conscience, having guarded Zhou Heng and Han Yiyao these past few days. After all, both of them had been seriously injured, one with only about twenty to thirty percent of their battle power left, while the other remained unconscious throughout.
However, one couldn’t rule out the possibility that this shameless donkey still wanted to snatch treasures from Zhou Heng. But with the Black Sword stored within the Dantian and the Nine Mystic Trial Tower as tiny as a speck, hidden within Zhou Heng’s bones, Black Donkey really found it difficult to make a move.
One could often see its thieving eyes glittering as it stared at Zhou Heng, drooling with eagerness, but whenever it got close to Zhou Heng, the intense heat forced it to retreat.
This high temperature was enough to melt even Zhou Heng’s skeletal frame, which was comparable to a Mountains and Rivers Realm magic artifact. Did Black Donkey possess such a robust constitution?
"In the future, if anyone dares to cross us, I’ll throw Zhou at them and roast them alive!" Black Donkey propped its head on one front hoof, daydreaming. "But seriously, this kid’s life is so tough, he hasn’t died yet!"
"If it were me, Donkey Master, I’m afraid I would have to use the treasure left by the Heavenly Venerate!"
"Speaking of which, it’s really strange that this kid always gives me, Donkey Master, a familiar feeling!"
"Mm!"
