Chapter 376: Wailing GrottoEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The story of the Southern Continent’s Wailing Grotto was a famous one. Many couples would co over here to rendezvous after learning the story, as a sign of rembrance to the couple of the story.
About a thousand years ago, there was a country called Fetched Moon Country. Because the royal bloodline was growing thin, no one could control Fetched Moon Country’s national divine weapon, Fire Dragon Sword, and ultimately it led this country to its demise. The other countries around were looming over and were very close to devouring this country.
In order to save his citizens who were in hot water, the young Fetched Moon Country’s prince, Thunder took the Fire Dragon Sword and traveled the world to train and learn, in an attempt to gain control over Fire Dragon Sword.
Fire Dragon Sword was a divine weapon that only a mber of the royal bloodline of Fetched Moon Country could use. If the sword was not suppressed by a royal family mber, anyone who laid their hands on the sword would be burnt to ashes.
During the course of Prince Thunder’s training, he ca to know a young priestess. It was love at first sight for both of them, and they fell madly in love.
Alas, ti flew and before they knew it, the threatened Fetched Moon Country could not withstand its threats before the return of its prince and t its end.
His family was gone, his country, gone, everything was gone. It was then the prince learned the identity of the priestess. She was a princess of the country behind the destruction of Fetched Moon Country.
The prince lost his mind and pulled Fire Dragon Sword out in rage, burning the princess to ashes.
He went mad. Despite his skin peeling from burns by this sword, he was relentless in seeking revenge. However, Fire Dragon Sword’s side effects suddenly beca worse and completely engulfed the prince.
However, Prince Thunder did not die. He fell under the curse of Fire Dragon Sword and transford into a real Fire Dragon, complete with flas burning all over his body. He would have to live the remainder of his life bearing the pain of flas burning through his flesh.
Prince Thunder flew to the princess’ country to set it afla. It was only when he killed the princess’ father personally that he learned the truth. The princess knew nothing about the destruction of his country. He killed an innocent woman.
Thunder returned to where he burned the princess to death and found that she turned into a white crystal rock, never able to be revived again.
Thunder let out a sorrowful wail, standing in front of the princess day and night until he died shedding tears of blood...
It was said that the day Prince Thunder died, the earth shook while the moon and sun shifted. A tall mountain beca a valley while a plain beca a plateau...
It was during that ti when Wailing Grotto appeared. When passing by the grotto, a deep wailing sound could be heard. Hence, how its na ca to be.
From then on, many have co to Wailing Grotto in search of Fetched Moon Country’s divine weapon, Fire Dragon Sword but to no avail. Wailing Grotto’s map was surprisingly enormous and its monsters ranged between Level 1 to 100. They were all scattered with no actual structure. The stories about the divine weapon, Fire Dragon Sword hidden within Wailing Grotto has been told but has never once been found.
"Perverted Wing, is Fire Dragon Sword really in Wailing Grotto?"
"And how would I know that?"
"You seem to know everything. If even you don’t know about it, I guess no one does then?"
Up in the sky, Li Yi and Jiaojiao were riding on Horned Griffin as they made their way to Wailing Grotto.
Jiaojiao was in good spirits, as she bead with radiance. This was a contrast to Li Yi’s low spirits. He had dark eye circles as if he did not have a good night sleep.
Yeap, he did not have a good night’s sleep...
Li Yi felt defeated as he recalled the night before.
The three won were lying in his bedroom. He wanted to enter and sleep with them but was shocked to find the door... locked.
He knocked, he kicked, he worked the entire night yet he could not gain entry...
F*ck, he wondered who blocked the door from the inside!
The three won were slumbering in the bedroom while he had a sleepless night alone on the couch.
"What’s up with you? Why are you yawning? Didn’t you sleep well last night?" Jiaojiao asked out of concern.
Li Yi rolled his eyes at her. He yawned and did not respond to her questions.
He was filled with regret...
Yang Rong was the first to wake up and the most considerate, leaving a blanket on him before leaving.
Fire Ice, too went ho but Jiaojiao stayed on. She did not go ho.
The Horned Griffin landed and they found themselves standing at the entrance of Wailing Grotto. If one were to listen in carefully, one would find a peculiar wailing sound echoing through every once in a while.
"There really is soone wailing."
"Duh, if there isn’t any sound, this place wouldn’t be called Wailing Grotto."
"Tell
the story of Prince Thunder again. I wanna listen to it."
"One day, Prince Thunder and Princess Priestess went out to play. They first kissed, and then they kissed and kissed..."
"Scram, can’t you take it seriously?"
...
System Notification: [You’ve entered Wailing Grotto!]
With the wails ringing in their ears, a few green-skinned underlings swamped out and attacked them.
These green-skinned underlings at the entrance of Wailing Grotto were no more than Level 10. One of Jiaojiao’s Dark Strikes took them all out.
"The monsters here are weak. I guess anything inside isn’t that big of a deal."
"Well, that’s not certain. The map of Wailing Grotto is quite special. It’s not a common dungeon and it’s larger than so large-sized instance dungeons. The grotto spreads out in all directions. It’s easy to get lost without a complete map. I rembered an idiot who ca here in search of treasure but instead, found himself lost for two weeks. In the end, he opted to be killed by a monster and chose to lose a level and return to his country in order to leave."
Jiaojiao laughed out loud, "No way. Two weeks in this grotto? Who’s that idiot?"
