Heroes' Prison Chapter 59

The small boat broke through the white mist, gliding gently forward, the tranquility around only broken by the sound of oars slapping against the lake water, which seemed particularly pleasant in the peaceful black of the night.

Huang Yi held the Little White Cat tightly in his arms, who at the moment was fast asleep in the crook of his arm like a little sleeping beauty, seemingly uninterested in anything happening outside.

As he looked at her, Huang Yi suddenly thought that if she could truly awaken, her strength might far surpass his own, and then it would be hard to say who would be protecting whom! At the moment, though the Little White Cat had undergone a metamorphosis and become a Beast Spirit, her combat power was still very weak. She had only shown two skills, one being resurrection and the other transformation. However, both of these skills were non-offensive, and even her transformation skill didn’t enhance her attributes like Huang Yi’s Colossal Beast Transformation did; her transformation skill only changed her appearance without any boost in her attributes.

At present, he could not fully let his guard down with her, but this awakening was a rare opportunity, and no matter what, Huang Yi wanted to help her awaken.

"Alright, we’ve reached that little island." After an hour of journeying, the Old man on the ferry finally turned around and spoke.

Huang Yi looked ahead and could faintly see a small dark island showing through the fog, appearing and disappearing in the vast expanse of white mist.

"Get off the boat!" The Ferryman stopped the oars and said to Huang Yi.

"Huh?" Huang Yi frowned. They were clearly still some distance from the island, and getting off the boat now would be no different from jumping into the lake to commit suicide. Could it be that the Old man on the ferry intended them harm? Huang Yi instantly came up with a guess.

"That little island is just an illusion; the real one is right here!" The Ferryman shook his head with a smile, skillfully jumped off the boat, but didn’t fall into the lake or cause a splash. He simply vanished on the surface of the lake out of thin air!

"Woof, woof!" Little Wang was startled by this strange sight and couldn’t help but bark towards the direction where the man had disappeared.

Now, Huang Yi was faced with two choices: jump off the boat or continue to paddle forward on his own.

After a moment’s thought, Huang Yi decided to jump off. The man knew Bai Long Lake too well, and as a ferryman, he obviously had quite a good relationship with the Bai Long Clan. His own abilities must also be strong. If he truly wanted to harm them, he could simply crush them with a direct attack, no need for such elaborate schemes.

"Sis, hold on to me tight, I’m going to jump off the boat," Huang Yi reassured the Little White Cat in his arms and then leaped overboard!

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and the surroundings instantly changed, transporting him to another place!

This was a small island, with towering trees within, each one hundreds of meters tall. Looking up, one couldn’t see the tops, and not even the moonlight could pierce through. The Old man on the ferry was already walking into the forest. Behind Huang Yi was an endless expanse of lake, with the little boat parked on the shore of the island. At that moment, the boat only contained the Monkey and Little Wang.

Suddenly, the Monkey also leaped out of the boat and landed in the middle of the island. Seeing the surroundings, it let out a few happy squeaks, clearly delighted to return to its native land.

Now, only Little Wang remained in the boat. He perched his front paws on the gunwale, sticking his head out and looking around ceaselessly, trying to find Huang Yi and the others, but his gaze was blank, obviously unable to see Huang Yi who was close at hand.

A look of hesitation flashed in Little Wang’s eyes. He seemed eager to follow but appeared afraid of the water. After several attempts, he still didn’t dare to leap off.

Just then, a determined look passed over Little Wang’s face. He turned his head for a last wistful glance at the beautiful world, then closed his eyes and bravely jumped from the boat, following Huang Yi.

The next moment, Little Wang appeared at Huang Yi’s feet, yet he still had his eyes closed, as if resigned to his fate.

Huang Yi didn’t bother with him and quickly followed the Old man on the ferry.

"Squeak, squeak~" The Monkey also let out a happy cry and rushed into the Giant Tree Forest.

Little Wang finally realized something was amiss, cautiously cracking open an eyelid to take a peek, then fully opened his eyes when he saw he hadn’t perished, sticking out his tongue and breathing a sigh of relief. As he looked around and saw Huang Yi moving on, he immediately followed.

Huang Yi followed the man into the Giant Wood Forest, surrounded by towering trees that blocked the moon, plunging the area into pitch darkness as if descended into Hell.

The Little White Cat had already woken up by now and burrowed fearfully into Huang Yi’s embrace at the sight of the darkness.

After walking for a while, some blue lights suddenly appeared ahead. These lights became more and more numerous, densely floating in the forest like countless blue stars, incredibly beautiful, as if they were in a dreamy realm.

Huang Yi focused and saw that these lights were actually fishes, emitting natural blue glows from their bodies, gliding through the air as though swimming in water, an incredibly peculiar sight.

The Little White Cat was no longer afraid at this point, excitedly reached out her little paw, trying to catch a fish to play with.

"Squeak, squeak~" At that moment, a horde of monkeys suddenly leaped down from the trees, overwhelming and plunging into the schools of fish, seeming to hunt, and the startled fish dispersed in all directions, soon vanishing without a trace.

To his surprise, Huang Yi discovered that the Monkey they had previously saved was among them. It was now in the arms of a larger monkey, looking over in their direction with gratitude in its eyes. Then, the larger monkey jumped down from the tree, came in front of Huang Yi, and bowed to the Little White Cat, seemingly thanking her for saving its child.

"The road ahead will be led by it. The White Dragon King is just a short distance ahead," the Old man on the ferry suddenly said, and then he walked off in another direction, vanishing from sight before long.

After that, the large Monkey started leading Huang Yi forward, passing under one giant tree after another. Along the way, the creatures they encountered were all incredibly peculiar. Some were the size of elephants yet as small as mice, scurrying between the grass; some creatures that seemingly belonged in the sea were swimming through the air. Bai Long Island was like an Otherworld, and Huang Yi and his companions were like travelers who had crossed over.

Finally, the large Monkey stopped, leading Huang Yi to the dwelling of the White Dragon King.
