Chapter 973: Rabbit Hole

Translator:Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor:Nyoi-Bo Studio

The rabbit was no longer poisoned . After he moved away from it, the rabbit ran around in what appeared to be happiness . It was not afraid of Han Sen, and it didn't behave like any creature of prey he had seen before .

He cooked some more meat and gave some of it to the rabbit . Clearly, the creature wasn't very wise . It hadn't learned its lesson, following the last piece of food it had been given . Without a modicum of concern for whether or not the latest treat was poisoned, the rabbit gobbled it up .

The rabbit wasn't aggressive, and Han Sen realized he may have overestimated its willingness to steal . It wouldn't attempt to take anything Han Sen was handling .

Once its belly was full, however, the rabbit ran off . Still curious about its nature, Han Sen tried to follow it .

Regardless of what abilities it possessed, the rabbit was an ordinary creature . That much, Han Sen was certain of .

As he followed the creature, the rabbit didn't seem to be aware of its tail . Eventually, it reached the canyon that was populated by other rabbits and entered a burrow . Without a shadow of the doubt, Han Sen assumed that the burrow was its rabbit hole .

The rabbit hole was fairly large, even large enough for Han Sen to follow the rabbit inside .

Han Sen pushed away the shrubbery that cloaked its entrance and climbed inside . A little past the entrance, the tunnel expanded further and became quite wide . The sides were all carved from rocks instead of loose earth .

Further ahead, the tunnel opened up into a wider space . And upon arriving there, he noticed it was a natural formation . It was a beautiful cave, hidden underground .

Han Sen hastened inside and observed the area .

From that subterranean pocket, there were many branching pathways . And in that place were many other rabbits, as well .

The rabbit king didn't stop in that cave, and it zig-zagged along through a variety of different passages . Han Sen had to speed up in his pursuit of it, in fear of losing the creature . After a while, they came to an underground river .

Many rabbits drank fluid from the stream, which led Han Sen to believe that was what the rabbit king had come to do, also .

But instead, the rabbit king leapt into the water .

But instead, the rabbit king leapt into the water .

The shield allowed it to float atop the babbling river, and the rabbit submitted itself to the gentle pull of the current .

Using Aero, Han Sen followed the rabbit king down the river .

"Where is this rabbit going?" Han Sen wondered .

Further downstream, the water's flow got a little choppier . The tunnel they moved through was purely for the passage of this water . With the splashes from the stream, all the rocks around were wet . There was no place for the rabbit to disembark, and eventually, even that tunnel had various branches and different offshoots of tunnels to follow . This complex network of caves was not at all what Han Sen was expecting .

The rabbit slowed down as it bobbed along the river, and it seemed to be deciding which way to go next . When it decided, it moved its feet to roll the orb-shaped shield in the direction it wished to float .

Han Sen followed the rabbit down these tunnels for two hours, until he heard a louder sound of water .

All of a sudden, the rabbit king disappeared from his sight .

And that was when Han Sen realized the rabbit king had taken the plunge off a waterfall .

And that was when Han Sen realized the rabbit king had taken the plunge off a waterfall .

When Han Sen saw the rabbit king next, many splashing sounds accompanied the sight . After the rabbit king descended the waterfall into a subterranean lake, a silver-scaled aqua dragon lashed upwards . It was attempting to kill the rabbit king .

It seemed as if the rabbit king was going to be eaten with relative ease . But it managed to kick itself off a cliff wall and leap past the water serpent .

The dragon turned around and continued chasing the rabbit, but the aqua dragon had black chains around its arms . The chains quickly jerked the dragon to a stop, and allowed the rabbit king to get to safety .

Boom!

The aqua dragon's body fell, creating ten-meter high waves .

The rabbit king was still in the water, but it was no longer in danger . The aqua dragon was still chained up, and it was unable to pursue the furry king .

The rabbit, still in its shield and submitting to the bob of the waves, continued to travel downstream .

Han Sen was frozen, acknowledging the power that dragon possessed . It was almost as strong as a super creature, that much he knew for certain .

The biggest question on his mind, though, was how someone had managed to chain-up such a fierce beast so far below the earth . And furthermore, why?

"Was it a human that did this? Or was it a spirit?" The chains did not look as if they had been forged by humans, but ultimately, Han Sen could not be sure .

After one last, quick inspection of the aqua dragon, Han Sen returned to following the rabbit before he lost it . Fortunately, the creature was purely physical . If it wasn't, Han Sen and the rabbit would have been done for .

Eventually, the river started to slow down, and this was when the rabbit disembarked from the current . It leapt out of the water .

Now, the rabbit king followed the rocks . Before long, it came to another passage . It was a cave . Han Sen did not waste any time, and so he flew over to the stone cave the rabbit had come to . The cave was only a few meters deep, and Han Sen was shocked when he saw what lay inside .

The cave was not actually a cave . It had been handbuilt, like a room . The only thing natural about this place was the entrance .

It seemed as if the landscape had changed since the time this room had been built, and the entrance had been cracked .

The room was rather large, equivalent to the size of sixty living rooms . A plum tree stood in the center, and it was four meters tall . It extended to brush the ceiling of the room .

Strangely, there was fruit upon its branches, but no blossoming flowers . The fruits were about the size of an egg, and they were purple and red in color .
