1710 Camouflage

"We are not going to look for more. The one that we have with us is enough for us to complete the task! There are only small pieces left down there. It's hard for us to collect them all!" said Ouyang Huxiao.

"Do you mind if I go down and look for it since you guys are not going to get them?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"We don't mind at all… But, it's dark down there! Shattered rocks are everywhere! It's going to be extremely hard for you to look for it!"

"Don't worry! I will try my luck! If I don't go down there to get the rest of it, this place is going to turn into a dead land again! By that time, it would be impossible for me to get my hands on them!"

"But…"

Ouyang Huxiao wanted to talk Chen Xiaobei out of it but Chen Xiaobei had already made up his mind. Without wasting any time, Chen Xiaobei crawled down to the bottom of the ravine by grappling on to the vines.

"Childe Chen sure is stubborn… There are more of us here and we have tried to look for the rest of it a couple of times! There's no way that he will be able to find the rest of them!" said Ouyang Huxiao.

"Just let him try his luck… He will come up here if he fails to find any of it!" said Su Xiaoman.

She was busy with healing Gang Zi's wounds, which was why she wasn't bothered with helping Chen Xiaobei. A few minutes later, everyone could feel something had changed in the atmosphere.

"Hey?! I don't feel the coldness anymore! The freezing breeze is gone! I don't sense them emitting from the bottom of the ravine!"

"Could it be… that Childe Chen has managed to recover the rest of the Abyss Ice? That's not possible!"

"Unless he has X-ray eyes! Otherwise, it's impossible to find those small shards of Abyss Ice that are buried amongst the shattered rocks!"

It was hard for them to believe that Chen Xiaobei had managed to do it, but they could not deny that the cold breeze was gone!

"I'm back!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.

"Childe Chen! Did you manage to recover the rest of the Abyss Ice?!"

"That is so fast! You have only gone down for a short period of time!"

"Childe Chen! How did you do it? Do you really have a pair of X-ray eyes? This is unbelievable!"

They were all shocked by what Chen Xiaobei could do. In spite of the reactions, Chen Xiaobei simply responded with a smile on his face. Of course, he would never tell them that he had gotten help from his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes.

Swoosh…

Suddenly, a white creature ran towards them while wailing.

"Xiaobei! What happened?"

Immediately, Su Xiaoman went to welcome it. She could see that her white lion's fur was colored red by its own blood. Blood was gushing out from the wound that was seemingly punctured by a sword.

Thud…

The moment Xiaobai reached in front of Su Xiaoman, it lost its strength and collapsed on the ground.

"Xiaobai! What happened to you?! Where did you get these injuries from?!" asked Su Xiaoman in horror and apprehension.

"I believe our activities here had managed to alert some of the enemies! Xiaobai was hurt by a young elite! Just run toward the west right now! Don't turn back! I will buy you guys time!" said Chen Xiaobei.

"How did you know about all this stuff? Could it be that you possess the ability to look into the future?!" asked Su Xiaoman.

"No time to explain right now!"

Since Chen Xiaobei could understand the animal's whispers, Xiaobai had already told him everything earlier. After that, Chen Xiaobei handed over two pieces of Taiyi Life Enhancement to Su Xiaoman.

"Take this and feed them to Xiaobai and Gang Zi! Go now!" shouted Chen Xiaobei.

"This…"

Su Xiaobei took the pills from Chen Xiaobei as she was still trying to understand the whole thing.

The white lion used its remaining strength to nod its head as an indication that it agreed with Chen Xiaobei.

"Childe Chen, let me stay and help!" said Ouyang Huxiao.

"No need! Just make sure that you keep all of them safe! My friend who got injured earlier is waiting for you guys three miles from here from the west! Make sure to take care of him! Just wait for me to settle this problem first! I will contact you guys later! Here's my contact number!"

"Alright! I got it!" said Ouyang Huxiao after he making sure that he memorized Chen Xiaobei's contact number.

He then led everyone to flee the place.

"Childe Chen! Thank you so much! I will never forget the things that you have done for us! I, Su Xiaoman will definitely repay your kind deeds!"

Su Xiaoman needed to take care of the injured one, which was why she could not stay with Chen Xiaobei. Now, Chen Xiaobei was the only one left here.

"Time to use my new skill!"

With a smile on his face, the black shirt that he was wearing started to go through some changes. The black garment was the upgraded Nightstalker Outfit that he received recently. Previously, he was not allowed to attack when he was wearing the Nightstalker Outfit; with the new Secret Rune function added unto the Nightstalker Outfit, Chen Xiaobei was now provided with more options.

Swoosh!

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei dashed to the tree that was located hundreds of meters away from him.

Bloop…

Bloop…

A dark rune appeared on the Nightstalker Outfit. Three seconds later, the pure black shirt and pants were re-colored to the color of leaves around him, even transforming into the shape of a leaf! The moment Chen Xiaobei put on the mask, its Spiritual Attribute was connected with him. He could now choose to stay invisible or camouflaged. Just like the outfit, the mask could transform itself into the shape and color of the leaf as well.

This was the new ability of Nightstalker Outfit, the Secret Rune Camouflage! To put in a simple way, the Nightstalker Outfit was like a chameleon now. Of course, the outfit was now fused with the Galactic Secret Rune Cloth. Its effect was now thousands of times more effective than a chameleon's camouflage abilities! Unless someone bumped into him, no one would know that Chen Xiaobei walked beside them.

When compared to staying invisible, staying camouflaged had another advantage.

First, Chen Xiaobei could attack his enemy while camouflaged! This was especially lethal when it came to a sneak attack!

Second, one could stay camouflaged during the day. This made up to the flaw that the original Nightstalker Outfit had. Of course, the one major advantage of the upgraded Nightstalker Outfit was its defense power. The Galactic Secret Rune Cloth was an Earth-God Grade item! The defensive ability of the upgraded outfit had now reached an Earth-God tier item's standard!

"I want to know what kind of enemy is coming to attack me?! I'm going to give them a real good beating!" said Chen Xiaobei while paying close attention to his enemies like an eagle.
