Chapter 76: Black Grandpa.

Road Little Qi flew ahead, binding Yang Xuan and Ling Chengfeng with the Chaos Heavenly Silk, and taking them to wander around inside the body of the Giant Crab.
Since realizing that he was inside the Giant Crab, Yang Xuan had been paying attention to the surrounding environment. He belatedly discovered that there were peculiarities everywhere inside.
The sticky substance on the walls around the crab turned out to be its stomach acid, and there wasn't a single stone in sight. The passages and chambers that could be seen were all made of tough crab meat.
"Xiaoqi, come this way."
There appeared a fork in the road ahead, and Xiaoqi was about to rush towards the left without hesitation. However, Ling Chengfeng suddenly spoke up and stopped him.
"What?"
Yang Xuan turned his head, noticing that Yang Xuan was opening his celestial eye, with a radiant light shining in the center of his forehead.
"Hehe..."
Lu Xiaoqi stopped and secretly stuck out his tongue, embarrassedly laughing, "You caught me? The roads here are too complicated, and I really couldn't find the way back to Black Grandpa."
Yang Xuan widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Huh? So you didn't say anything when we were wandering around for half a day and couldn't find the way?"
"Hmph, I could have found it if we kept looking a little longer."
Road Xiaoqi stood with his hands on his hips and started to show his temper.
"Alright, there's no time to argue, let's go."
So, guided by Ling Chengfeng, Road Xiaoqi led the two of them through a water curtain and arrived at an extremely discreet cave hall.
"Huh? Little girl, you're back again?"
The enormous cavern was piled high with all sorts of strange and unknown materials, forming small mountains that were haphazardly scattered about.
The speaker is an old black man with white hair, thin as a skeleton, with two rows of ribs visible on his chest.
He stands in the hall, leaning on a cane with one hand, while in front of him there is a raging fire, with flames leaping up to more than two meters high, and a giant barbecue grill over the flames.
A giant fish the size of a fishing boat has been processed and is now being grilled on a barbecue rack.
The old black man turned around and waved to Lu Xiaoqi, saying, "Perfect timing, come help me blow some fire. The fish meat is very firm and I've been grilling it for a long time, but it's still not cooked."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Obviously, the old black man is the Black Grandpa that Lu Xiaoqi mentioned.
Lu Xiaoqi beckoned with his index finger and retrieved the Mixed Sky Silk.
After a battle, Yang Xuan and Ling Chengfeng were already exhausted, without the support of the Mixed Sky Silk, both of them sat down on the ground.
"Black grandpa, he's really black..."
Yang Xuan looked at the black grandpa in front of him and discovered that this old man was black as a chunk of charcoal, even blacker than ink by three points.
"Black Grandpa."
Luo Xiaoqi came to the side of Black Grandfather, took a deep breath, and puffed up his cheeks like a goldfish. After holding his breath for a while, he suddenly spewed out a crimson flame from his mouth, sweeping towards the weird fish on the grill.
Ah~ I was burned by Lou Xiaoqi's Samadhi True Fire, and the large fish on the grill sizzled, immediately wafting a delicious aroma of fish meat, making my mouth water.
"All done."
Lou Xiaoqi clapped his hands and retracted the Samadhi True Fire, then turned to Hei Ye Ye and asked, "Hei Ye Ye, can you help us leave here?"
"It's so delicious."
Grandpa Hei eagerly walked to the barbecue grill, waved his crutch, and cut a big piece of fish from the side of the grilled fish, and stuck it on the top of his crutch.
Then, Grandpa Hei turned around and asked Lu Xiaoqi, "What? Do you three want to leave here?"
"Understood."
Yang Xuan and Ling Chengfeng struggled to walk over, and upon hearing Black Grandpa's question, they both nodded without hesitation, with sincere attitudes.
Black Grandpa reached out and tore off a small piece of the steaming fish meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it while saying, "You will stay here for a few months first, and when the big crab comes up to the surface again, I will take you away."
“No.”
As soon as they heard that they had to stay here for a few months, Yang Xuan and his companions turned white in an instant.
"We have to leave now!"
Yang Xuan became anxious, his voice raising in pitch.
"Now?"
Black Grandpa squinted and said with a smile, "I left you two outside alone for two reasons: to save you and to let you familiarize yourselves with the environment. Now that you're inside, don't even think about leaving for a while."
"It's done."
Yang Xuansat on the ground in despair, muttering, "Bingbing..."
"If you really want to leave now, I do have a way."
Black Grandpa looked at Yang Xuan, who looked dejected, and suddenly changed the subject: "After all, I am one of the greatest explorers in the world, and there is no place that can trap me."
"Ah? What method?"
Yang Xuan quickly got up, with a hopeful expression on his face.
"Of course, I have a method, but..."
Black Grandpa's eyes swept over the faces of Yang Xuan and his friends one by one, sharp and indifferent, as if to peel them open and see through their inner thoughts.
"The three of you have to confess honestly, which world do you come from? Why did you descend into our world? What is your motive?"
"Huh?"
Exposed!
Yang Xuan looked at the sharp-eyed Black Grandpa and subconsciously took a step back.
"Black grandpa, I do not understand what you are saying."
Ling Chengfeng quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We three are gentlemen from the Kingdom of Junzi, I am named Junzi Feng..."
“Tsk, you're quite good at pretending to be someone else.”
Black Grandpa laughed at Ling Chengfeng and revealed a set of yellow teeth: "I've lived for thousands of years, traveled across the entire land step by step, and seen countless things, but I've never seen three people like you."
"At first, when I saw this little girl, I thought she was a hybrid of the Yanhuo and Junzi Kingdoms, but I didn't feel anything strange about her."
"But now that I see you two, and with that pair of fire wheels and red silk that just appeared on the little girl's feet, and the armor on you boy, I can be sure that you are definitely not from this world."
Black Grandpa firmly said, "Don't think you can deceive me. I can sense a mysterious energy flowing within you, which is unique and completely unfamiliar to me."
"Also, I just checked and none of you three have the breath of this world! Even though you've picked up a little bit, it's insignificant like specks of dirt."
As they listened to Old Black's slow and deliberate analysis, Yang Xuan and his companions exchanged worried glances.
The three of them never expected their true identities to be exposed. Since they arrived in the world of Shanhai, no one had ever questioned their backgrounds.
Even Mr. Han, a gentleman from the country of gentlemen, once mistakenly thought that the three of them were from his country and offered help to them for free.
Watching the three of them remain silent, Black Grandpa knew that they were worried and quickly said, "Rest assured, I won't harm you. I'm just curious about how you came to our world?"
Yang Xuan, Ling Chengfeng, and Lu Xiaoqi exchanged glances and hesitated for a while before finally making a decision.
"Black Grandpa."
Lu Xiaoqi, who was more familiar with Black Grandpa, stepped forward and explained in detail, "This is what happened..."
