Chapter 123: Feather Abyss Crystal Tomb 2

  Chapter 123: The Crystal Tomb of Yu Yuan 2

  Dan Dan had no idea what the token was for, and with a small hand grasping the token, he swung it back and forth. The little feather seemed to think it was fun too, flapping its wings and flying over to play with the black token together with Dan Dan.

  Dandan seems particularly generous, stretching out the token and playing with the small feather together.

  The clear and white feathers saw the man with a cold face, his temples suddenly jumped.

  Mo Yi was a cold sweat, the Mo School's Giant Sub-Flag is the supreme thing, only each generation of Giant Sub can have it, and the man in front of him, Mo Yi, is obviously the current head of the Mo School.

  The Mo Jia extended to the present, and it is unknown when it started. Every generation of the leader would use one of the articles in Mozi as his name, regardless of what he was called before. As long as he became a giant son, he would throw away his previous name.

  Mo Yi's master's uncle's name is Ming Gui.

  The Juzi token represents the highest authority, and its function is known only to each successive Juzi.

  The intricate floral patterns on the token were complex and multifaceted. Ordinary people might have thought they were just decorative, but Mo Yi had been in the Mo School for so many years that he had developed some insight. These complex patterns were actually a type of mechanical key, with each pattern equivalent to a gear. Perhaps it could unlock something - maybe a forbidden classic or the highest divine technique of the Mo School. But what exactly it was, or where it was located, no one knew except for the leader.

  Ming Gui stared at Xiao Chui Long, sweeping his gaze up and down. Xiao Chui Long, however, was not afraid of him and met Ming Gui's gaze head-on.

  The demon suddenly laughed, but after removing his mask, he seemed even more unnatural than when wearing it. His face was full of coldness, with not a single wrinkle on his skin, and he seemed to speak without moving his lips. Suddenly, he smiled again, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, causing everyone to shudder.

  Ming Gui looked at Xiao Zhu Long and said: "This kid's reaction is quite agile, and his hands are well-suited for it. Are you interested in becoming my apprentice?"

  If one were to worship Minggui as a teacher, although they couldn't inherit the position of leader for the next generation, their status within the Mo School would immediately rise to be second only to one person and above all others.

  Mo Yi is a high-ranking member of the Mo faction, and there are countless people who want to be his apprentice, let alone mention ghosts.

  Mo Yi's master was the senior brother of Ming Gui, but he wasn't as young as Ming Gui. Although his generation was higher, he wasn't the leader and had passed away a long time ago. Now in Mo Sect, only Ming Gui has the highest generation.

  Bai Lian Cheng became a disciple of Ming Gui, and in terms of seniority, wouldn't that make Mo Yi his junior brother?

  Mo Yi stared at Xiao Chui Long, looking him up and down, and suddenly his temples jumped twice. If Xiao Chui Long really became his junior brother, wouldn't Wen Bai Yu and Wan Qi Jing Hou immediately become one generation higher?

  Egg seemed to understand Minggui's words, "ah" twice, shaking the token in his hand, then pointing at Xiaochilong's tail and shouting "ah" twice at Minggui, as if saying that the one who rolled up the token was Xiaochilong's tail, not a hand...

  Ming Gui jumped again at the sunspot, while Xiao Chui Long was smiling and looking at his own brother, the coldness on his face had all melted away, as if he thought his own brother was very clever.

  Dan Dan immediately threw the token and tossed it to Ming Gui. Ming Gui stretched out his hand and grabbed it, putting away the token.

  Dandan said "ah" to Minggui again, and then said a few more words that probably only Dandan himself understood. Then, Dandan stretched out his hand to hug Xiaolong, shook his head vigorously at Minggui, and then buried his face in Xiaolong's chest, rubbing his head against him.

  Xiao Chong Long patted Xiaodan's little head with his hand and said in a serious tone: "Not interested."

  Wen Baiyu was almost shocked. Who could tell him whether his son had taken hormones or not? He didn't say anything, but once he spoke, he would say everything.

  Ming Gui was rejected, and he didn't have an unpleasant expression. It's not that he didn't have an unpleasant expression, but rather that his face was always like a mask, without even a twitch of his facial muscles. If Ming Gui's identity wasn't so high and unattainable, Wen Baiyu really wanted to go take a closer look at whether there was another mask on top of his face.

  When Mo Yi heard Xiao Chui Long's refusal, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He almost had to tolerate another cheap junior brother who was so much younger than him, which was really unbearable.

  "Moyi said: 'Master Uncle, how did you get here?'"

  The demon pointed at this map and said: "I've been here before, this is the second time I came. Because I wasn't prepared the first time, so I didn't continue walking forward."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Continue walking forward? What does it mean? What's ahead?"

  Ming Gui's tone was very flat, as if there were no ups and downs at all. His face didn't have a single expression, the pale mining lamp shone on his face, just like a dead person's face... If you had to find something different, it would be a more handsome dead person's face...

  Although Ming Gui's personality was extremely cold, he unexpectedly spoke well and replied to Wen Baiyu: "The place I want to go is the place on this tomb map, a crystal underwater grave."

  The more people listened, the more they didn't understand. Ming Gui was the leader of the Mo Sect, and according to the current scale of the Mo Sect, it's likely that there isn't a larger sect in the world of Taoism. As long as he wanted something, all he had to do was crook his finger and it would be his. The leaders of the Mo Sect were reclusive and rarely went out to fight, so what could be something that he needed to go find personally?

  Ming Gui was not in a hurry, but instead spoke slowly and continued: "This is a factory, but as you guessed, it's not a factory for building tombs. It's a factory preparing for a fight. All the parts produced here are used for fighting."

  Ming Gui beckoned them to follow him, carrying a miner's lamp, and slowly walked forward while saying, "This is a very long story, with some details I still don't understand, but basically I've figured out some things."

  Ming Gui passed through the huge stone chamber, and in front of him were two stone gates with some floral patterns on them. Ming Gui suddenly threw the lantern to Mo Yi Si, then pressed his hand against his back, and Wen Bai Yu saw several golden needles emerge from Ming Gui's back.

  Wen Baiyu's back suddenly felt a chill, this person had actually hidden the needle in his flesh, and he didn't even know if it hurt or not.

  Ming Gui held the golden needle in both hands, inserted it into the floral pattern on the stone gate, and everyone thought they had to wait for a while. As a result, with a "click" sound, the door bolt of the stone gate popped open.

  Mo Yi was slightly sweating on his forehead. Ming Gui took the lantern back and held it himself, without turning around, saying: "Your Golden Needle Technique is not qualified, too slow, go back and practice again."

  "Yes, Master..."

  An Ran couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. Normally, he was used to seeing Mo Yi with a mischievous grin on his face, and had never seen him so serious before. It turned out that there were still people who could keep Mo Yi in check.

  Ming Gui stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. Everyone immediately let out a "wow" and was stunned by the scene in front of them.

  Jiu Ming was the first to react, with an excited and drooling expression, looking outside and saying: "So many fish!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  I don't know what the focus of Jiu Ming is, but I just saw a lot of fish outside...

  This is a very long circular tunnel that can't be seen at a glance, the inside of the tunnel is extremely dry and polished to a high gloss. The entire tunnel was built underwater, I don't know what material it's made of, but it's transparent, just like being in an aquarium's glass tunnel. The deep sea seems very quiet, stepping into the transparent tunnel, schools of fish keep swimming past them.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the scene in shock. Although it's not impossible for modern people to build a glass tunnel like this, but this was built by ancient people, and they were from thousands of years ago. How did they manage to build such a magnificent tunnel under the deep sea? How much manpower and resources would that require?

  But what was the purpose of building this magnificent tunnel? Was it really just for drainage?

  Wen Baiyu had many doubts in her mind, and just then, Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly squatted down and felt the ground with his hand.

  The floor of the tunnel was polished very smoothly, and it was even slippery to walk on. What's strange is that on this smooth floor, there were two shallow grooves, one on each side, which were definitely not casual scratches.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou touched the shallow ditch behind him and said: "Is this a transportation channel?"

  Ming Gui looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou for a moment, then nodded and said: "I've always heard that there's someone named Wan Qi Jing Hou in the Taoist world. I thought it was just a rumor, but it seems you really have some skills."

  Egg egg protested with two "ah"s, enunciating unclearly, mouth as if holding an eggplant, saying: "Daddy... annoying..."

  It seems like you're protesting what Ming Gui said about "some abilities".

  Egg had a face that was identical to Wang Xizhi's, with delicate features, a soft and gentle voice, pouting her pink lips, looking like she was ready to take on the world.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou couldn't help but laugh.

  After finishing speaking, Dan Dan looked at Xiao Zhu Long again and smiled sweetly at him, saying: "Brother... is also annoying..."

  After finishing, he "smacked" a kiss on Xiao Chong Long's face. Although Xiao Chong Long was disgusted by Dan Dan's saliva, the corners of his mouth were still raised, as if Dan Dan's praise had made him very happy.

  Ming Gui automatically ignored Egg's cute behavior, looked at the shallow ditch on the ground and said: "These are two tracks, used to card push carts. In the factory, after the parts are made, they will be transported over with a pushcart on this track. The floor is polished very smoothly to reduce friction."

  Wen Bai Yu carefully looked at this tunnel, not only magnificent, but also unknown how much wisdom was integrated, such a big handwriting, really for the sake of overturning? What on earth is the great treasure in the crystal sea floor tomb that Ming Gui said?

  Jiǔ Mìng was pressed against the transparent tunnel, his face stuck to it as he strained to look out, his nose tip flattened. A school of fish swam past him, and Jiǔ Mìng's mouth began to water, his ears perked up, and his eight half-tails wagged back and forth behind him.

  Donghai couldn't help but reach out and pinch the base of his tail, causing Jiuling to let out a loud "Meow!!" His ears and tail stood up straight as he said, "What are you doing?!"

  Donghai smiled and said: "You're not disgusted by the smell of fish before, why are you craving it now?"

  Jiǔ Mìng said, "I haven't eaten much because of my poor appetite, and I've been vomiting a lot. Now I'm inevitably a bit hungry." He sniffed his nose hard and said, "I don't smell any fishy smell."

  The demon looked out of the tunnel and said, "This tunnel has excellent airtightness. After thousands of years, its airtightness hasn't decreased at all. Inside this tunnel, you can't hear the sound of water flowing outside, let alone smell any fishy odor."

  Nine lives actually didn't pay attention to this, saw a huge fish swimming by from the side, bringing up countless ripples, and in the tunnel there was really no sound at all, nor could I feel any waves or impact.

  The huge fish bared its sharp teeth at Jiǔ Mìng, but Jiǔ Mìng looked at the fish and drooled. The big fish saw the East Sea behind Jiǔ Mìng, suddenly retracted its teeth, and then turned around and swam away with a grey face.

  Jiǔ mìng pō wèi bù gān xīn, duì zhe dà yú de bèi yǐng hái zài liú kǒu shuǐ.

  Translation: The nine lives were somewhat unwilling to give up, and saliva was still flowing as they stared at the big fish's back.

  Mo Yi looked at this exquisite tunnel and said, "Master Uncle, what's going on here?"

  Previously, Ming Gui said it was a very distant story, but he never told them, instead leading them into this tunnel, where many mysteries came to meet them, and it almost became a mess.

  The ghost was still unhurried and said, "This stone cave, this tunnel, all exist because of the inverted fight. If you want to know the famous move here, you have to start from what I said about the crystal sea floor tomb."

  Ming Gui carried a miner's lamp and slowly walked forward while saying to the crowd, "The underwater tomb I'm looking for is said to be a relic of the ancient water-controlling gods."

  As soon as the myth of flood control is mentioned, Da Yu comes to mind. The story of Da Yu controlling the floods is well-known to all, and children have heard this myth since they were young.

  Three times passing by one's own home without entering, this is a story that everyone has heard since childhood.

  The main character that Minggui wants to talk about is not Dayu, but rather Dayu's father.

  Ming Gui said: "Da Yu's father Gun was enfeoffed in Chongdi during the reign of Emperor Yao and became the Marquis of Chong. During the Five Emperors period, a great flood occurred, but the cause of the flood is not recorded anywhere, so it can be said that there are many different accounts. The Shan Hai Jing records the story of Gun stealing Xi Zang to block the floodwaters. Xi Zang was a treasure of the Heavenly Emperor and could grow on its own. Gun wanted to use this divine earth to block the floodwaters. Later, the Emperor heard about this matter and ordered Zhu Rong to kill Gun at Mount Feather. Qu Yuan also wrote about Gun in his Tian Wen, thinking that Gun's efforts to control the waters were successful, but just as he was about to succeed, the Heavenly Emperor took back Xi Zang and killed Gun, leading to Gun's failure to control the waters."

  Minggui said, paused for a moment, and continued: "Three years after Gun's death, his body did not rot or decay. The Emperor heard about this matter and ordered brave warriors to take Wu knives to dissect Gun's corpse. Gun's corpse transformed into a yellow bear, which was Da Yu."

  What the Ming Gui said, actually most people have heard of it before. Many people think that Gun is not wrong at all. The act of stealing divine soil and ashes is just like Prometheus in Greek mythology who stole fire for humanity, which is a magnificent and admirable move.

  Ming Gui said, suddenly stopped, the crowd followed his line of sight to look forward, Wen Baiyu suddenly opened her eyes wide, took two steps forward, and then stuck to the transparent tunnel to look out.

  All that can be seen is outside the transparent tunnel, and there is actually a huge shipwreck, half of which is buried in the mud, leaving only half exposed.

  This ship was made of just wood and shells, exactly the same as the ghost ship they had seen before, and it actually sank due to running aground!

  Wen Baiyu didn't expect to see this huge ship here, and on the ship, a cicada logo was even built with shells. Although it's already very mottled, it can still be identified, which shows how meticulous the construction was at that time.

  In the wreckage of the ship, even skeletons can be seen, because there are fish and some underwater creatures on the seabed. When these things forage, they inevitably stir up the ship, and some skeletons have been dragged out of the wreckage and exposed outside.

  The crew of the White Swan made a surprising discovery: the ship was not empty, and there were indeed people on board when it ran aground, but at that time no one took emergency measures.

  All these skeletons have one thing in common, that is, the skeleton was tied to a bronze object, because the bronze object was very heavy, and all of these skeletons sank to the bottom of the water.

  Wen Baiyu was getting more and more suspicious, no wonder not a single person escaped, all of these people were tied up, perhaps they had been waiting for the ship to sink, could it be a collective murder?

  Ming Gui looked at the sunken ship through the transparent tunnel, but didn't show any surprise on his face. His tone was calm and he continued with his story: "Later, the people elected Da Yu to govern the flood successfully. During this time, Da Yu also married Tu Shan's daughter, Nu Yao, and had a son named Qi."

  He said, looking at the crowd, his eyes scanning them briefly, "In history, there is a saying that Da Yu had merit in controlling the flood, and Shun abdicated the throne to Da Yu. However, Da Yu yielded the position to Shun's son and retired, but people followed him to where he was hiding and recognized him as emperor. Later, with the support of the crowd, Da Yu established the Xia Dynasty. But there is also another saying..."

  Ming Gui stopped talking here, and Wan Qi Jing Hou frowned and continued his words: "Some people also think that Shun did not actually abdicate to Da Yu. After Da Yu successfully controlled the flood, he relied on his reputation and the help of the powerful Goushan clan, which had the support of Gaoyao and Dongyi. Da Yu naturally got the throne and avenged his father's revenge, exiling Shun to Congyu."

  Ming Gui nodded and said: "Actually, this statement is also possible. After all, since the time of Da Yu, the abdication system has become a hereditary system of family rule."

  Ming Gui said: "The crystal sea floor tomb I mentioned is the mausoleum built by Da Yu for his father. In ancient books, there is a term called 'Yu Yuan'."

  Jiǔ Mìng looked at the fish swimming back and forth in the sea, swinging its tail, and said: "What does Yuè Yūan mean?"

  Donghai explained: "Yu Yuan is the name of a pool, meaning the tomb of the sun."

  Ming Gui said: "It is named for being covered with blood-red feathers, and at first glance it looks like a pool of blood."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said: "Bleeding..."

  He seemed to have thought of Gan Zhuo's reaction, the blood waterfall, and the feathers. The sunken ship in front of him also seemed somewhat relevant, but slightly off-kilter. He didn't know where the problem lay, perhaps he could only understand by taking a closer look.

  Ming Gui said: "Everything here exists for the sake of overthrowing Chong Bo's tomb."

  Wan Kui Jing Hou furrowed his brow and said: "Xi Ran?"

  Ming Gui nodded and said: "I also think it's Xi Ran. Apart from Xi Ran, I'm afraid there isn't a second thing that would make people turn their backs on each other."

  Xī Rǎng is a divine soil, the treasure of the Heavenly Emperor, a self-growing soil. Wēn Bái's mind was racing as he gazed at the sunken ship outside, and suddenly, a flash of insight struck him - on the sunken ship was the emblem of the Western Queen Mother's kingdom, and they worshipped the Golden Cicada, which could only be reborn with the soil. Could it be that all this was just to retrieve Xī Rǎng from Chóng Bó's tomb?

  Wen Baiyu said: "The sunken ship was driving back from afar, did they succeed?"

  Ming Gui said: "I'm afraid it's a success, the people on this sunken ship should be the ones who knew about the construction of the factory at that time. It can be considered a large-scale sea burial, and all secrets will be submerged with the sinking ship."

  Jiuming swung his tail and said, "Now that we've succeeded, won't the treasure be taken away by everyone? Why do you still want to go to the tomb of the giant fish?"

  Ming Gui looked at him and said: "I still have some doubts, I must go into the tomb to take a look."

  He looked at him selling Guan Zi, his heart itched and said: "What's the question after all?"

  Ming Gui raised three fingers, apparently with three questions, but he only asked two of them: "Earlier, the instruments in the stone room, if they were just inverted, at least two-thirds of them would be useless. I wonder what these people did in Chong Bo's tomb that required so many spare parts."

  "The second question, a tunnel has been built here, and the things that are being transported are not large components, so they can be quickly transported through this tunnel. Why do you still need ships? What exactly is being transported by these ships?"

  "Third one?" Jiǔ Mìng asked again.

  He then no longer looked at him and no longer spoke.

  Although they hadn't been together for a long time, everyone had already figured out Minggui's temper. He wouldn't say anything he didn't want to, not even one word, and would sit there like an old monk in meditation, his face expressionless no matter how you asked him.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at the sunken ship outside and said: "How much do you know about the Western Queen Mother's country?"

  Ming Gui looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou, smiled slightly, and said with a more bitter expression than crying: "I don't know how much my junior fellow apprentice has told you, but what he understands is still far from enough. The Western Queen Mother's country was over a thousand years earlier than the Mo School, yet it already possessed extremely ingenious mechanical skills. Many records in the Mo School classics coincided with the mechanical skills of the Western Queen Mother's country, and some forbidden classics also mentioned the Western Queen Mother's country multiple times."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly grabbed Wen Bai Yu's hand, lifted his sleeve and showed Ming Gui the green flower pattern on Wen Bai Yu's arm. Perhaps because of Wen Bai Yu's special blood, that green flower pattern did not expand at all on Wen Bai Yu's body, it was still in its original shape, and very shallow.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "That kind of poison, how much do you know?"

  Ming Gui took a glance at Wen Baiyu's arm and apparently knew what kind of poison it was, without taking a second look.

  Mo Yi thought of An Ran's body also having this poison, and it was more severe than Wen Baiyu's, so he immediately said: "Master Uncle, our Mo School also has a disciple who has been poisoned by this, what is the name of this poison?"

  Ming Gui gave An Ran a seemingly calm glance, but An Ran was too junior in front of Ming Gui, so he usually didn't dare to speak and could only choose to shut his mouth, letting Ming Gui size him up.

  The demon king shook his head and said, "It can be said that there is no solution."

  Wan Qi Jinghou immediately furrowed his brow, and Ming Gui said, "It's not just an exaggeration."

  Mo Yi said: "If there are seven pieces of wooden tablets, can't they be used?"

  Ming Gui glanced at Mo Yi and seemed to think he knew a lot, saying: "I didn't expect you to know about the matter of the seven souls of the ghost king."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't say a word, he simply used the dragon scale dagger to hook, and the wooden sign hanging from Wen Bai's neck was hooked out by him.

  At that time, Wan Qi Jinghou obtained two wooden plaques in the ancient well of the desert. One was given to Hun Dun to wear, which could restrain the onset of poison, and the other was given to Wen Baiyu to wear. Later, everyone got another wooden plaque in the hanging coffin tomb, because An Ran was also poisoned, so this one is currently worn by An Ran.

  Ming Gui couldn't help but stare at the wooden plaque on Wen Bai's neck, and his expression changed, revealing an unnatural look. Perhaps it was because he had been keeping a straight face for too long, any expression on his face seemed extremely out of place.

  The little ghost looked at the wooden sign carefully and said: "This is just the first pass, wait until you find all seven wooden signs, then come back to me."

  Ming Gui let out a sigh of relief, and Mo Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as well. As the leader of the Mo School, Ming Gui was the only one who could access many ancient texts, which might hold the secrets of the Western Queen Mother's country. Others had no way of knowing about it. Since Ming Gui had already agreed, he would definitely keep his word.

  Dandan saw the wooden sign on Wen Bai's neck and thought it was fun, perhaps because the transparent tunnel was too long. At first, Dandan thought the fish outside were interesting, but after a while, he got a bit sleepy. Now that he saw a "toy", he stretched out his hand and exclaimed "ah ah".

  Wen Baiyu put the wooden sign on her neck into Dan Dan's hands, and Dan Dan took it with a "heh heh" laugh, playing back and forth, opening her pink mouth as if to take a bite.

  Xiao Chong Long immediately stopped Dan Dan and said in a precious tone: "Don't eat."

  The egg's mouth twitched, and two tears immediately squeezed out. With a tearful face, she stared at Xiaolong, then turned her head to call out to Xiaoyu "Gege!", as if wanting to tattle on him.

  Xiao Yu Mao loves his little angel brother the most, immediately picks up Dan Dan and holds him in his arms. Dan Dan snuggles into Xiao Yu Mao's chest, pouting and saying: "Hungry... hungry... belly is hungry..."

  Originally, Egg was hungry. It's also reasonable to think that way. They discovered the gap in the mountains at dusk and hadn't eaten anything yet. Although Egg eats little, he gets hungry easily and needs to eat several meals a day. By now, he must be starving.

  The bright ghost pointed to the transparent tunnel and said, "We still have a long way to go forward. This tunnel leads directly to an island, where the tomb is hidden. Last time I came here, the tools were not fully prepared, so I retreated from the tunnel and returned. Let's rest here for a while and then head to the island."

  Everyone agreed with Ming Gui's statement, he obviously knew this place well and had made sufficient preparations.

  They didn't bring much luggage, and a lot of the luggage was put on by "ship worker" Ming Gui because it was very chaotic at the time. Now everyone opens their backpacks to find that things are quite complete, with not one less essential item for going down to the bottom, and food and water are extremely sufficient.

  Everyone sat down on the ground, because the tunnel was very airtight and there was almost no dust on the ground. They sat down to rest and prepare to eat and sleep for a while to replenish their energy. The road ahead was still unknown, and Ming Gui said calmly that he had never been to the island before and didn't know what was on it either.

  Everyone sat on the ground, Mo Yi had distributed food to the crowd. Outside the transparent tunnel, there were schools of fish swimming back and forth, all sorts of strange ocean creatures, and even coral could be seen, just like in an underwater restaurant.

  The egg was in the small feathered arms, frequently glancing at the little dragon candle, but the little dragon candle didn't pay attention to it. The egg seemed to feel more and more aggrieved, pouting with a sulky face.

  Dandan was born with a bad temper, and Xiaoyumao teased Dandan. Xiaoyumao seemed to be a brother control as well, after all, Dandan was really too cute. This made Xiaoxuemai very depressed. Xiaoxuemai stretched out her fingernails, lightly scratched, and opened the can. She carefully scooped out a piece of meat with a spoon and handed it to Xiaoyumao with a large spoon.

  Xiao Yuema was very kindly giving beef to Dan Dan to eat, and Xiao Xueyuan became even more depressed.

  The egg is hungry and making rumbling noises, but looking at the beef it doesn't seem appealing at all, pouting and refusing to eat.

  Then, Xiao Chonglong sat on the ground, looking like a grown-up, took out a can of beef, Wang Qi Jinghou lit a fire, and Xiao Chonglong even heated up the can, took out a disposable small bowl, wiped his hands clean with disinfectant paper towels, used chopsticks to poke at the hot and fragrant beef, and shredded the beef into thin strips.

  Egg Egg took one look and his eyes lit up. Xiao Chui Long was handling the beef in such a way that he must be preparing it for Egg Egg to eat. But unexpectedly, after tearing the beef apart, Xiao Chui Long calmly picked it up and put it into his own mouth.

  Dandan finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Ah ah" cried out twice, struggled out of Xiao Yuema's arms, stumbled over, hugged the bowl with little candle dragon, hid it in his own arms, stretched out his small meaty hands, grabbed the beef threads inside and stuffed them into his own mouth, fearing that Little Candle Dragon would eat them all.

  Xiao Chong Long saw Egg Egg shoving beef into his mouth, still looking at him with big eyes, a pitiful look of being bullied. He finally sighed, put Egg Egg on his lap and hugged him, saying: "Don't worry, it's all for you."

  Dan Dan almost choked on his food, pouted, and then slowly started eating again. He let Xiao Zhu Long feed himself and even slapped the hand that was holding the beef onto Xiao Zhu Long's body.

  Wen Baiyu likes to dress her son in white clothes, and the winter clothes are very thick, making him look like a little snowball. Xiaolong is also wearing white clothes, but he got an oil stain on his sleeve, which made Egg laugh "heh heh".

  The little candle dragon had some black on his face, seemingly very disgusted. However, looking at Egg's happy smile, he felt a bit helpless, reached out and gently scratched the tip of Egg's delicate nose, saying: "Little rascal."

  Wen Baiyu ate the food brought over, watching the little ones play and eat, stretched out her hand to poke Wang Jingshou, leaned in close and whispered: "Don't you think our Second Brother is getting more charming?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou: "......"

  Wan Kuang didn't say a word, and Wen Baiyu rubbed his chin, then immediately said another sentence: "Hmm, follow me."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou: "......"

  Everyone was eating, Jiǔ Mìng had just been staring at the fish with watering mouth, Dōng Hǎi handed him a can of fish, but as soon as he opened it, Jiǔ Mìng immediately covered his nose, disgusted and dodged far away from Dōng Hǎi, saying: "Ugh—too smelly, is the canned fish expired? As a fish, how can it be so stinky!"

  Donghai felt a bit helpless, this kind of canned food was originally very smelly, in the past it was only eaten by Jiuning and no one else would eat such things, after all the water in the lower bunk was not much, the canned fish was both smelly and salty, after eating there was a strong taste in the mouth, and also thirsty, nobody loved to eat this.

  Jiǔ Mìng is now also starting to dislike the small dried fish, Wēn Bái Yǔ feels more and more that her own thoughts are correct, her gaze involuntarily shifts back and forth between Jiǔ Mìng and Dōng Hǎi.

  Jiǔ Mìng basically didn't realize that something was wrong with himself. Since being together, Dōnghǎi's temper had gotten better and better, although it was only good for Jiǔ Mìng alone. He brought other food to him again, and after disdaining the small dried fish, Jiǔ Mìng started disdaining the beef can as too oily.

  Eggs was eating canned beef while staring at Jiǔ Mìng's disgusting canned beef, his eyes shining brightly. Jiǔ Mìng didn't want to eat it, so he gave the remaining can to Eggs to eat. Eggs must have been starving, as he ate a lot and his belly became round and swollen. After finishing, he collapsed onto Xiǎo Chī Lóng's lap, letting him rub his belly while laughing "heh heh".

  The last nine people only ate two mouthfuls of biscuits and said that the biscuits had no unusual smell, but other things smelled too strong and made them want to vomit as soon as they smelled them.

  After eating, Jiǔ Mìng fell asleep immediately, and Dōnghǎi took out a quilt to cover him.

  After eating something, Wen Baiyu looked at the time and found that it was already 9 o'clock. They had been walking here for such a long time.

  Everyone leaned against each other and started resting. Ming Gui said that this place was relatively safe, there was no need to keep watch, the proud cause outside couldn't chase them over here, so everyone went to sleep separately.

  At 5 o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time. Wan Xi Jing Hou woke up first and saw that Ming Gui was already awake, staring at the sunken ship outside the tunnel with a blank expression, just like an old monk in meditation.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou made a move, and Wen Bai Yu also woke up. Rubbing his eyes, he stretched lazily. He disliked getting up early the most, but there was no choice. If they didn't rise early, they might have to struggle in the middle of the night, which wasn't safe after dark.

  Wen Bai stretched her waist, leaning against the tunnel wall for a whole night, her back was a bit sore. She straightened up, rubbed her own back, turned her head and suddenly let out an "ah!"

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud cry, and everyone immediately woke up with a start, also letting out a collective "Ah!"

  All that can be seen outside the transparent tunnel are a few skulls, those skulls have no skin and flesh, their whole body is white and bony, it's not clear whether they were naturally rotten due to the long years or eaten by the fish in the sea, anyway only the white bones are left.

  These skulls were the corpses they had seen in the sunken ship before, all of which were hung with bronze objects.

  Yesterday evening, there were not many corpses outside the sunken ship, but now, more than a dozen skulls have crawled out of the sunken ship. They are carrying heavy bronze weights and clinging to the outside of the transparent tunnel, with their white bony faces pressed against the tunnel, staring at the people inside through the transparent walls.

  Because the walls are transparent and look very thin, there is no sense of existence, so these skulls seem to be face-to-face with everyone.

  Skulls kept crawling in the water, colliding with the transparent tunnel.

  However, due to the special structure of the tunnel and its materials, even a massive water flow cannot shake the tunnel, let alone the impact of a skull.

  Ming Gui stood up calmly and said in a flat tone, "They can't come in."

  Although I knew it couldn't come in, but looking at this is also very scary. The skull has been hitting the tunnel for a long time, and Wen Baiyu thought that after falling asleep last night, there were many skulls staring closely behind him, constantly hitting, with their faces against the transparent wall stuck to his back, the feeling was simply chilling.

  Wen Baiyu hastily scrambled to his feet, and Wan Xiang Jinghou stretched out a hand to help him up. The dragon-scale dagger in his hand made a swift turn, and those skulls seemed to show some fear, immediately dispersing and watching them warily.

  Everyone quickly packed their luggage and continued walking forward with their bags on their backs.

  Those skulls with weights were crawling non-stop, as if chasing after them. As the crowd walked on, those skulls crawled along.

  Occasionally a big fish swims over and bites the skull in half with one bite, swimming away without stopping.

  Wen Baiyu flicked her lips and just wanted to hurry out of this tunnel.

  The road ahead was indeed very far, and Ming Gui led the way. He had a lot of physical strength, but Jiuling's body was in a special condition at the moment. After walking for a while, he felt both sleepy and tired, and to his surprise, he started sweating profusely, with beads of sweat all over his head. Although he felt hot, when he reached out to wipe the sweat away, it was actually cold.

  Donghai wiped his sweat and said, "I'll carry you."

  Jiuming is much stronger than Wen Bai's face, Donghai wants to hold him, and immediately agrees, with both hands around Donghai's neck, and even enjoys being held by Donghai, saying: "Why don't you carry me on your back? It's more convenient that way."

  Dong Hai immediately said: "No need, I'm afraid of pressing your stomach."

  Jiǔ Mìng immediately revealed a puzzled expression, he hadn't eaten much yesterday, and it was impossible for him to vomit under pressure.

  Jiuming said: "Then I'll become a cat, this way you can save your energy."

  Jiǔ Mìng said, just about to transform into a cat shape, Dōnghǎi hurriedly went to stop him. However, before he could speak, Jiǔ Mìng strangely said: "Huh? What's going on? Why can't I change back? Why am I still in human form?"

  Wen Baiyu wiped the sweat and said: "Normal phenomenon, your spiritual power is somewhat restricted now, it's okay if you can't change back."

  Jiǔ Mìng still found it strange, and kept asking Wēn Bái Yǔ why. Finally, he rubbed his own belly, and Wēn Bái Yǔ thought he had finally figured it out. But then Jiǔ Mìng said: "I know now, I must have eaten too little these past few days, so my spiritual energy has decreased."

  Everyone had a speechless expression, but Jiǔ Mìng didn't feel speechless at all. While chatting with Dōnghǎi, she let him carry her as they walked.

  The egg behind pointed at the nine lives in front, seemingly thinking that the princess's hug was particularly fresh, then pulled on the little dragon's sleeve and shouted: "Brother! Brother! Hug!"

  Xiao Chui Long glanced at the East Sea, then glanced at Dan Dan's height. Recently, Xiao Chui Long has been growing very fast and is now even taller than Xiao Xue Hua, so the gap between him and Dan Dan is getting bigger and bigger. If he were to be held by the princess, Xiao Chui Long estimated that he would accidentally drop Dan Dan.

  Xiao Xue Mu Hua then is beautiful and lively, rushing towards Xiao Yu Mao waving her hand, and suddenly she picks up Xiao Yu Mao horizontally in her arms. Xiao Yu Mao exclaims in surprise, then feels quite refreshed, "heh heh" laughs out loud, still shaking his legs nonstop.

  The arm strength of the little blood flower is almost divine compared to the weight of the small feather, no matter how hard the small feather shakes its legs, the little blood flower holds it firmly.

  Eggs bit his finger and looked on with envy.

  The crowd moved forward, and the skulls outside the transparent tunnel kept chasing them, as if waiting for an opportunity to sneak in and devour them. However, the tunnel was so sturdy that those skulls couldn't get in. At first, they were afraid of General Wan's dragon-scale dagger, but after seeing it many times, they became fearless. The situation had reached a stalemate.

  Jiǔ Mìng lay in the arms of the East Sea, not expending any energy at all. Instead, ān Rán started to breathe somewhat heavily, after all, he had been poisoned by the Guī Zhàn toxin and didn't have Wēn Bái Yǔ's Phoenix Blood to counteract it, so a significant decline in physical strength was normal.

  Mo Yi leaned on the frame and said: "Master Shu, how much farther is the road ahead?"

  "It's still very far away," said Ming Gui faintly. "When we go out, I don't know how far we'll have to walk."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly thought of Mo Yi's hand-drawn map and said, "Wait a minute, if your map is accurate, then we still have less than half the journey left."

  Mo Yi suddenly remembered the sea chart in his hand and quickly took it out to show Ming Gui, saying: "Master Shu, take a look at this sea chart."

  Ming Gui took it over and looked at it for a few moments, seemingly surprised, saying: "Where did you guys get this picture from?"

  Mo Yi honestly told the story of Yunnan's hanging coffin tomb, and Ming Gui's face showed no expression. He said: "This map should be real, but we took a shortcut, which was built by Xi Wangmu's people. It looks like this, after we get out, we still have some distance to go."

  Everyone heard that there was still a long way to go and couldn't help but quicken their pace, following Minggui as they continued walking forward.

  The tunnel was really not ordinary in length, the entire tunnel was a downward trend, but after walking to a point, the tunnel began to slowly climb upwards, and it kept climbing upwards. They walked for half an hour, feeling that this tunnel was about to climb up from under the water.

  The water around them began to shallow, and the skulls that had been chasing them finally stopped pursuing forward, but instead slowly retreated with a three-step back-and-forth movement, seemingly somewhat reluctant.

  The crowd continued to move forward, and soon they saw a huge circular stone gate above their heads, which was somewhat like a cabin door. The stone gate had many bronze lock chains on both sides.

  Ming Gui pulled the bronze chain, indicating that everyone should pull other bronze chains. The crowd each pulled one and exerted their strength together, then a loud "rumble" was heard, and the stone gate was pulled open by them. However, it didn't fall down as imagined, but instead cleverly stuck in place, wedged between the two round holes.

  The ghost pointed to the four sides of the tunnel and said, "This tunnel is very high, and all four sides are transparent and polished very smoothly. It's designed to ensure that people inside can't climb out, and outsiders will use ropes or something similar to pull in the transported parts."

  Jiǔ Mìng looked up and said, "Then how are we going to get up there?"

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, if he turned into a swan and flew up, this circular empty space seemed a bit small.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and touched the four walls beside him, indeed slippery and unable to grasp. Wen Bai Yu asked him, "Can you climb up?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It shouldn't be a problem."

  However, he hasn't moved yet. At this time, the little dragon suddenly flapped its wings and jumped up from below, holding Egg in his arms. It was like a roller coaster ride, making Egg a bit scared but also excitedly looking around with wide eyes.

  The little dragon brought the egg out of the hole, and outside it was already daylight. Compared to underwater, the outside seemed particularly bright, and you could even hear the chirping of birds, with green grass and fragrant flowers all around, like spring.

  Xiao Chong Long put the egg aside and let it play by itself, then lowered the rope to signal everyone to grab the rope and climb up.

  Mo Yi wiped away his sweat and thought that Wen Baiyu's son was a bit against the heavens, no wonder Shifu wanted to take him as an apprentice.

  The rope came down, and Wan Qi Jing Hou was the first to grab it. With the force of the rope, he stepped on the slippery rock wall that didn't leave any handholds and quickly climbed up. Wen Bai Yu was a bit worried, wouldn't he pull his Er Mao down?

  After Wan Qi Jing Hou went up, he didn't let Xiao Zhu Long pull the rope again. Instead, he pulled the rope himself and pulled everyone else up.

  The outside scene is surprising, now it's winter and a bit unusual compared to previous years, the weather is extremely cold, often with snowflakes floating around, but this island, as far as the eye can see, is all lush green, the air is very fresh, and there is a sweet fragrance of flowers.

  Everyone involuntarily took a deep breath, feeling the freshness of the air. Although the tunnel was safe, the space inside was relatively closed, and there was always a feeling that made people feel suffocated.

  Wen Baiyu looked around and saw that it was an island. Looking ahead, she could see a vast expanse of deep blue sea, shining brightly under the morning sun, evoking a sense of solemn grandeur.

  Behind is a vast expanse of green, with many low and gentle hills visible at a glance, and in the distant mist, there is a cluster of towering mountains piercing the clouds.

  Mo took out the compass, and everyone leaned in to look at the compass in his hand. As a result, the compass spun wildly like it was possessed, as soon as he took it out.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Mo Yishi's compass in surprise and said, "Is your compass going crazy?"

  Mo Yi shook his head and said, "Impossible, I made this with my own hands."

  He said, and took another stealthy glance at Ming Gui, afraid that his master would make him go back to the furnace to re-practice his hand movements...

  Ming Gui arrived without making things difficult for him. After looking around, Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "There should be something like a magnet nearby."

  Wen Baiyu looked up at the sun and said, "Can't we only identify directions from sunlight? Fortunately, there's still the sun."

  Although it's not very accurate to identify by the sun, this is the only method left now.

  Everyone recognized the direction and was ready to continue walking forward. The whole mountain was full of wild grass and flowers, and the little ones were like scattered kids, rolling around on the lawn.

  Everyone walked while eating their breakfast, without stopping, and after about half an hour, in front of them was still a small green hill, with distant mountains hidden in the clouds, it was simply the rhythm of looking at the mountain and running to death.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Have you discovered a strange phenomenon?"

  Jiuming said: "The tyrant should not sell Guan Zi."

  Wen Baiyu said: "No animals?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "According to what you say, there should be grass and water here, and there should be many animals. However, we have been walking for so long, but haven't seen a single animal."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a "ding ding ding" sound was heard, and a layer of dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, blocking out the sun, and the surroundings immediately dimmed.

  Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a flock of large birds with red feathers flying by, blocking out the sun and gathering in groups. Their chirping sounds were very strange, like the sound of shaking bells, also very crisp.

  The flock of large birds flew over suddenly, and in just three or four seconds, the sun came out again, and the dimness was driven away.

  Because it flew very fast, the red feathers fell from the sky and floated gently to the ground.

  Jiǔ Mìng looked at it with interest and smiled: "Bào Jūn, you just said there were no animals, but a large flock of birds flew over."

  Wen Bai picked up the feathers on the ground and said, "Red feathers? It seems we've found the right place."

  Everyone was busy studying the large birds, and when they turned around, they heard "Tu Tu... Tu Tu..." sounds. Egg egg had actually chased after a white thing and ran away, because Egg egg's head was extremely small, running felt particularly agile.

  Everyone was on the small hillside, Egg Egg kept running down, "gulu" sound, and then directly rolled down from the small hillside, like a snow-white little snowball.

  Everyone saw the egg roll down, they were all frightened, Xiaochilong suddenly flew up, dived down, and rolled up the eggs on the ground. The eggs were thrown into the air from the ground, covered with grass clippings, and still "hehe" laughed, as if they didn't know the danger at all, feeling very interesting.

  Xiao Chong Long was a bit angry, his face looked very bad. The crowd ran over, Wen Bai Yu hastily educated Dan Dan with bitter words, and Dan Dan accepted the education with a good attitude. Then, waving his small meaty hand, he pointed to the distance and said: "Tutu! Tutu!"

  Everyone turned around and saw a white figure quickly running into the bushes, a ball of snow-white, very small in size, don't know if it's the rabbit that Egg mentioned.

  The little rabbit ran into the forest in front, and although DanDan wanted to chase after it, Xiao ZhuLong was holding him back. Moreover, because of DanDan's own actions, Xiao ZhuLong was extremely unhappy, and DanDan could feel Xiao ZhuLong's cold aura, so he didn't dare move recklessly.

  Just as everyone was about to enter the forest, DanDan suddenly opened his eyes wide and said: "TuTu! TuTu!"

  Just then, a "sandy" sound was heard, and sure enough, a white object suddenly darted out of the woods again. It was the "rabbit" from just now. Although it was round and fluffy with white fur, it wasn't a rabbit at all, but rather a white fox.

  Egg pointed at the white fox and kept calling "Tutu", Xiao Chui Long was amused by him, his tail rolled up, and in a flash, he wrapped up the running fox and put it in front of Egg. However, instead of being happy, Egg let out a "Woo" cry and started crying, seemingly very scared, and immediately burrowed into Xiao Chui Long's arms.

  The little dragon threw the fox aside, and the white fox was frightened, immediately running far away.

  Right after that, they heard the sound of "shasha... shasha... shashasha...", and the forest was in an uproar. Many white foxes suddenly emerged from the forest, grouping together, instantly turning into a vast expanse of white, rushing towards them at full speed, brushing past their sides.

  Dandan pulled at Xiaolong's sleeve, looking fearfully at the woods.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately narrowed his eyes and said: "These foxes are fleeing for their lives."

  He said, and then heard a loud "Boom!" followed by a "Crash!", the trees in the forest suddenly fell down in a large area, as if some huge creature was constantly shuttling inside.

  Jiǔ Mìng opened his eyes wide and said: "What kind of ghost thing is this?"

  "Bang!" A tree was uprooted, and before everyone could see what it was, the tree had already flown out with a "whooshing" sound. The crowd immediately dispersed, the tree smashed to the ground, bounced back up, splashing countless debris everywhere. The tree bounced back up and continued to roll out violently, making a "ding-dong" sound.

  "Crack!" With a loud noise, the forest was suddenly torn open, and a huge yellow bear burst out of the woods, its two thick arms waving wildly, crashing into the surrounding trees, and furiously pounding on the trunks.

  The yellow bear panted "huff... huff...", charging over in a rage, seeing so many people, and was about to unleash all its furious evil fire.

  Huang Xiong's eyes shifted, focusing on Egg Egg, perhaps because Egg Egg was crying, the fire spirit on his forehead flickered brightly, emitting an unusual aura. Huang Xiong's nose was sensitive and immediately smelled this delicious aura.

  The yellow bear let out a loud roar at Egg Egg, emitting a coarse and heavy "roar" sound that shook the ground several times.

  The egg covered its ears, seemingly extremely afraid, and lay in Xiao Chonglong's arms, constantly burrowing inside. Its little butt was twisted back and forth, shaking with fear.

  Xiao Chong Long put his arm around Egg and patted him gently, as if comforting him.

  After the yellow bear let out a loud roar, it was about to charge over, but Xiao Chui Long suddenly rolled up the trees beside him. With a powerful swing of his snake-like tail, he uprooted the trees and flung them straight at the yellow bear's face with a loud "whoosh".

  The yellow bear was ferocious, but because of its large body size, much bigger than a normal bear, it wasn't very agile. Suddenly, it was hit by a tree trunk with a loud "Boom!" The tree trunk was also huge and directly flipped the yellow bear over. The yellow bear crashed to the ground, twisting another big tree as it rolled around, unable to get up.

  Egg Egg stretched his little head, peeked out to look at the yellow bear, and even twitched his nose at the yellow bear, "Hmph" and learned from Xiao Chonglong's appearance, inserting his arm in a similar way.

  Ming Gui watched from the side, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Xiao Zhu Long's conditions were extremely in line with his own requirements. If he could take him as a disciple, the future would be boundless. However, the little guy was surprisingly proud.

  The yellow bear rolled on the ground several times, trying to get up, and then let out a loud roar at Xiaoye Long. With a swing of its thick bear paw, it slapped Xiaoye Long's head, making Wen Baiyu's heart skip a beat. Although she knew Xiaoye Long was very powerful, knowing was one thing, but worrying was another.

  Xiao Chui Long flapped its wings and took off, retreating several steps back. At this moment, Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly charged out, but Huang Xiong didn't expect that halfway through, Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere and began to pursue him relentlessly. Wan Kuang Jing Hou stepped on a tree trunk and heard the sound of "thud thud thud" as he almost vertically climbed upwards. Finally, with one last heavy step, Huang Xiong caught up, frantically waving his bear paws and striking at Wan Kuang Jing Hou, but every blow missed its mark, enraging Wan Kuang Jing Hou completely.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took a step out, suddenly flipped in mid-air, and landed on Huang Xiong's shoulders. He immediately sank down and pressed down hard.

  The yellow bear let out a loud roar of "Hooooo!" and directly knelt on the ground, making a huge noise of "Boom!", almost creating two big holes in the ground.

  Egg egg lying in the arms of a small dragon, at this time not afraid, swinging two fleshy little legs, laughing and clapping hands, saying: "Daddy... daddy... so cool!"

  Xiao Chui Long glanced at him with a look, while Dan Dan gave a flattering smile and said: "Brother... is the most annoying..."

  Xiao Zhu Long raised the corner of his mouth, while Wen Bai Yu's eyelid twitched. The two were indeed a perfect match for Wan Kuang Jing Hou. The president's aura had already reached its peak, especially since he could speak, and was slowly revealing an even more powerful presence. He was so charming that it was hard to look straight at him; what would happen when he grew up?

  Wan Xi Jinghou subdued the yellow bear, and the yellow bear was beaten so badly that it rushed into the forest in fear, disappearing quickly.

  Mo Yi said: "Such a big yellow bear, I don't know if it will come back to attack us later, why not solve it once and for all?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Huang Xiong should be familiar with the environment here, we still have to rely on it to lead the way."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said, pointing to the forest, only to see that where Huang Xiong had passed, the trees were almost all collapsed. Due to Huang Xiong's large body size, when he stepped on the soft ground, he would also sink into huge footprints. It seemed that it wouldn't be difficult for everyone to let Huang Xiong lead the way.

  Everyone followed the footprints of Huang Xiong and walked in for about ten minutes. An Ran seemed to be gradually falling behind, and Mo Yi turned his head to look at him and said, "Good disciple, do you want to rest for a while?"

  Anran feared delaying everyone's journey, shook his head, but sweat rolled down from his forehead.

  Mo Yi said: "Tu Sun, I feel like your complexion is not quite right?"

  An Ran let out a "huh?" and clearly hadn't heard what Mo Yi said, her eyes rolled back, her body swayed, and she suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

  One of them, Mo Yi, hastily reached out to grab An Ran and loudly shouted: "Don't go yet, An Ran has fainted."

  The people in front all stopped and didn't know what happened to An Ran.

  Mo stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat for An Ran, who was lying on the ground. Unexpectedly, An Ran had a high fever, her forehead was very hot, and she was constantly...

  Mo Yi said: "Has the poison of the thorny locust tree started acting up?"

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said, "No, it's not like that when the poison of the thorn bush breaks out."

  They had seen the poison of the jade cicada erupt before, and it erupted several times in a row. The eruption of the jade cicada's poison was similar to that of the jade cicada mask, not knowing what they were doing, it couldn't be like this.

  An Ran is obviously ill.

  An Ran's face was deathly pale, and due to the high fever, a layer of crimson had risen to the surface. Her body convulsed violently, her head tilted to one side, and with a loud "retch", she vomited.

  Jiǔ Mìng let out an "ah" and said: "He's just like me, he threw up too!"

  Wen Baiyu: “......”

  Wen Baiyu was speechless for a moment, letting Donghai take care of Jiuling. It's best to pull Jiuling aside.

  Something was off, and Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly said: "He's been poisoned."

  Everyone was stunned, the first thing that came to mind was what they had eaten, because An Ran was vomiting, but An Ran ate and drank the same things as them, so it couldn't be food poisoning.

  The egg was held in Xiao Zonglong's arms and exclaimed "Ah ah" twice, then pulled on Wen Baiyu's sleeve and shouted: "Daddy! Daddy!"

  Wen Baiyu turned her head to look at Dan Dan, who was pointing at An Ran's calf with his small meaty hand, pointing and pointing, seemingly unable to say anything, and finally let out two "ah"s.

  Wen Baiyu looked down and saw that An Ran's little leg was bleeding, his pants were torn, he wasn't wearing boots, but shoes with lower shafts, the torn pants revealed a small amount of blood on his calf.

  Wen Baiyu hastily reached out to lift An Ran's pant leg, and saw that there was a particularly small scratch on his calf. The wound wasn't big, but it was still bleeding, and the cut didn't seem to be healing. It looked like he had been scratched by a leaf or grass.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Is it this one?"

  Mo Yi was shocked and said: "Are those grasses poisonous?"

  An Ran has completely fainted and the situation is very bad. No one expected that such a small wound would be so severe.

  Wen Baiyu quickly took out the small bottle from her backpack, filled with Egg's tears, and sprinkled some on Anran's wound after twisting open the bottle.

  Dandan's tears seemed particularly effective, and Anran's wound healed instantly, with the bloodstains also being washed away.

  Her breathing quickly became stable, her forehead was still a little hot, but she had stabilized and was no longer vomiting.

  Mo Yi picked up An Ran and said, "Let's find a place for An Ran to rest for a while."

  Everyone nodded and followed the traces of Huang Xiong all the way forward. Soon, they saw a hill with a stone cave inside, which should be where Huang Xiong lived. However, Huang Xiong's footprints were strange. Although his footprints had already reached the entrance of the cave, it seemed that he had lingered here for a long time and finally turned to another place.

  Everyone stood at the entrance of the cave, seemingly without smelling the strange smell inside, and it should be quite clean. It's not bad to rest here for a while.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stopped everyone and said: "There is a sound, there is someone inside."

  Person

  This character is too unfamiliar for this island, and there are actually people here. Who are they? Are they the descendants of the Western Queen's country or the adventurers from the earth?

  Wan Qi Jing Hou held the dragon scale dagger in his hand, while slowly walking forward with a flashlight. The cave was very dark, without any light. Everyone followed him and walked in slowly. Wen Bai Yu immediately smelled a burning wood smell, it must have been lit before, because they came in, the people in the cave extinguished the fire.

  Isn't he just a savage?

  Everyone walked in, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound. A bright light flashed over and flew straight at General Wan's face. General Wan did not dodge, but instead stretched out his hand to catch it. He took a closer look and found that it was a military knife flying towards him.

  A voice hidden in the darkness coldly said: "Don't go any further, or I'll shoot."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment, then looked surprised and said, "Xie Linlang?"

  The person hiding in the darkness heard this and seemed a bit stunned, saying: "Wen Baiyu? How is it you?"

  Everyone turned on their flashlights and saw that there was indeed someone deep in the cave, and the smell of burning wood also came from the depths. It was Xie Linxiang.

  Xie Lin still wore the same outfit, his sunglasses and camera had been taken off and thrown aside. In front of him was a bonfire, with Xie Yan lying on the edge.

  Xie Yan seems to be ill, and the situation is not very good. The two of them are all wet, with two backpacks scattered around them.

  Xie Yan seems to be in a coma, with a high fever and an abnormal reaction, constantly convulsing and vomiting, Xie Lin doesn't know what's wrong with him.

  Because the wound was really too small, Xie Linwan didn't notice it at all. If Eggy hadn't pointed it out just now, no one would have noticed such a small wound.

  Everyone rushed over, Wan Qi Jing Hou lit a fire, Mo Yi was settled down safely, and Wen Bai Yu applied egg whites to Xie Yun's wound with tears in her eyes. Xie Yun's condition soon stabilized as well.

  After Ming Gui came in, he secretly sized up Xie Yan several times. As the leader of the Mo School, Ming Gui seemed to have seen through Xie Yan, and this gaze made Xie Lin extremely vigilant.

  Mo Yi and Ming Gui didn't know Xie Lin, so everyone introduced themselves. After all, they were now on this island together, and would need to help each other out in the days ahead.

  Xie Linlang and Xie Yanhun were both soaked from head to toe, Xie Linlang took off his outer garment to dry by the fire, and changed Xie Yanhun into a clean set of clothes while he was unconscious.

  Wen Baiyu asked him, "How did you all end up here too?"

  He said that he suddenly remembered, the Tian Shu in his hand was actually a fake, and the one in Xie Lin's hand was the real thing. They might have also translated the seven pictures on the Tian Shu.

  Xie Linlang still looked elegant and refined, quickly changing Xie Yun's clothes with nimble hands and feet. Wen Baiyu pulled out a blanket from her backpack and handed it to Xie Linlang, who thanked her and covered Xie Yun with the dry blanket.

  Then began to slowly and carefully sort out her wet luggage.

  Xie Linling smiled and said: "We went to Yunnan and found an empty golden cicada coffin, is it your masterpiece?"

  He said, taking out a photo that seemed to be slightly damp and had water vapor on it. Wen Baiyu took it and looked at it, it was the hanging coffin in Yunnan, the golden cicada coffin in the cave, and the empty coffin in the photo was taken by Xie Linwan.

  Because Xie Linxiang has a poor memory, so he takes pictures of everything he sees.

  Wen Baiyu nodded without denying it and said: "It's us, we've already taken the wooden sign."

  Xie Lin nodded slightly, seemingly feeling relieved that Wen Baiyu and the others had obtained it.

  Wen Baiyu pointed at them and said: "How come you're all wet?"

  Xie Lin smiled and said: "We've been on this island for several days, three or four days, I don't remember very clearly..."

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat surprised that Xie Lin and Xie Yan had stayed on the island for so long.

  Xie Lin continued: "This island is very strange, every moment, the trees and stones on the island seem to be constantly changing, there is no same time. It can be said that Xie Yan and I are trapped here, we want to find a way out, but so far we haven't found one. Just now, after the heavy rain, Xie Yan suddenly fainted again, and I found a cave."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Wait a minute, was it raining heavily just now?"

  Xie Lin nodded and said: "Right."

  Wen Baiyu looked out in shock and said, "But the land outside is dry."

  Xie Lin glared at everyone, scanning them from head to toe. Everyone else was dry, but Xie Lin and Xie Yan were both wet. No one had lied.

  The bright ghost sat on one side, using a branch to stir the fire heap and said: "It's a clever trick."

  He said that, took the lead to stand up, walked towards the cave entrance, and everyone else also stood up to look outside, leaving only Xie Lin'gang and Mo Yi to take care of the patient.

  As Xie Lin said, when they entered the cave, there were not many trees in front of them. Less than half an hour later, a large number of trees suddenly appeared in front of them, their branches stretching towards the entrance of the cave as if trying to reach inside.

  The bright ghost pointed to these trees and said, "This island has been tampered with, there are many ingenious mechanisms, we followed the footprints of Huang Xiong to come in, if it was a little later, I'm afraid the footprints would have deviated. The gears from the underwater factory were used to make these mechanisms."

  Jiǔ Mìng pā zài Dōng Hǎi shēn shàng, shuō: "Gàn shén me fèi zhème dà jìn?"

  Jiǔ Mìng lay on Dong Hai's body and said: "What are you doing, using so much effort?"

  Dong Hai said: "It's obvious that the tomb should be around this island."

  Ming Gui nodded and said, "The people of the Western Queen Mother's country went to such great lengths, just because they thought the tomb's location was too conspicuous, it could be figured out by them, or perhaps also by later generations."

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin and said, "There's something strange. The people from the Western Queen Mother's country came to steal the coffin, so why would he go to great lengths to protect this tomb?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou paused for a moment and said calmly: "It means that there is something in this tomb that they can't take away."

  This statement shocked everyone, could it be true? Since the treasure of Xi Ruo can't be taken away from the tomb, they went to great lengths to change the trees, soil and rocks, even altering mountains to create mechanisms, confusing later generations.

  Everyone looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, then returned to the cave. An Ran and Xie Yan had woken up, but this poison was extremely overbearing, and both of them felt a bit dizzy.

  Because Xie Yan and An Ran can't exert themselves now, everyone sat down to rest. Anyway, the trees outside are constantly changing, they still need to study how to find the right way.

  Everyone sat around the bonfire and found it was already 11 o'clock. Fortunately, they started having lunch then.

  Because the bonfire was very bright, Xie Lin put on her sunglasses again. They also had food, but since they had been on the island for three or four days, there wasn't much left.

  Xie Lin took out a few damp papers, on which were the maps they had drawn, but each map was different, and there were three in total. It seemed that they had walked three times.

  Wen Baiyue held it in his hand and looked at it, but couldn't see anything special. He seemed to be completely clueless about this kind of mechanism.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou threw those papers to Ming Gui and Mo Yi to look at, then gave Wen Bai Yu a hot meal to eat.

  Everyone sat together and took advantage of the remaining fire to cook some noodles for dinner, accompanied by vacuum-packed potatoes.

  He held half a potato in his hands, feeling that the potato was even bigger than his face. He ate with relish, getting his face all covered in mashed potatoes. After taking a bite of the potato, he would lift his head to look at Little Candle Dragon and have it feed him noodles. He seemed very satisfied with Little Candle Dragon's service, as if he was particularly enjoying himself. The noodles and potatoes somehow gave him the feeling of having a high-end meal.

  The little feather seems to be tired of these fast foods, pouting unhappily. Xiaoxuemai flower suddenly sprouted a small flower bud on its vine, the flower bud slowly unfolded, Xiaoxuemai flower made a small bowl, shaking its own flower, and dripping nectar into the bowl, in just a moment, it gathered a small bowl of nectar, then presented it to Little Feather.

  The honey is sweet and fragrant, the little feathers eat with relish, and the little blood flower "smacks" a kiss on the little feather's cheek.

  Eggs are biting her finger, seemingly attracted by the clear fragrance of honey, with big eyes wide open, staring at the small feather bowl, as if she can't help but drool, saliva almost dripping down, and biting her plump little fingers wet.

  Little Dragon withdrew his fingers and said, "Don't eat hands."

  The egg didn't eat with its hands, staring at the little dragon candle, then pointing to the flower honey that Little Feather ate, "ah" several times, and then called out "brother!" several times.

  But no matter how much DanDan begged, Xiao ChongLong definitely couldn't produce honey, and DanDan drooled at the thought of it. Wanting some honey, Xiao Yuemao saw his little angel brother thinking about eating it and generously shared some with him.

  Dan Dan was about to excitedly take over, but Xiao Chui Long stretched out his hand to stop him, then hugged Dan Dan and let him continue eating noodles. He also glanced at the small blood marrow flower and said faintly: "Don't eat that, it's not clean."

  Xiao Xue Mai Hua: “……”

  Dan Dan ate a big bowl of noodles and half a potato, finally feeling a bit sleepy, and directly fell asleep with his head tilted on Xiao Zhi Long's shoulder, pressing against Rou Rou's small face, pink lips half open, drooling onto Xiao Zhi Long's shoulder.

  Xiao Chong Long looked at Dan Dan with disdain, but didn't wake him up. He changed his posture to make him sleep more comfortably and coaxed Dan Dan to continue sleeping.

  Everyone finished their meal, Ming Gui went to study those few maps, everyone had nothing to do, because they ate a bit too much, Wen Baiyu felt a little sleepy.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou let him lean on his own shoulders and said: "If you're tired, just sleep for a while. Anyway, we can't move now."

  Xie Yan and An Ran couldn't set off yet, they needed to rest for a while longer. Wen Baiyu nodded and closed her eyes, preparing to take a short nap to recharge.

  Wen Baiyu didn't know how long she had been dazed, when suddenly she heard a "hū——" sound. An Ran abruptly sat up, and Mo Yisi, who was guarding An Ran, was startled and let out a "bāng!" sound. As An Ran sat up, her head bumped right into Mo Yisi's forehead.

  The commotion was too great, and everyone woke up with a start. Only Ming Gui remained still, studying the three maps as calmly as an old monk in meditation.

  Mo Yi covered his forehead and let out a hiss, saying: "You foolish disciple, what are you trying to do? Are you crazy? What good will it do for your Master's uncle?"

  An Ran was also a bit dazed from the collision, her forehead was red, she reached out to touch her own forehead, feeling a bit strange in her heart, how did she end up bumping into Mo Yi's forehead when she sat up?

  He thought to himself, subconsciously touching his lips, and surprisingly, there was a slight stinging sensation on his lips, hot and cool at the same time. An Ran's face suddenly turned bright red, as if he had realized what Mo Yi had been doing just now, and why he had bumped into his forehead...

  One is "a gentleman is open-minded", with a very upright and honest appearance.

  An Ran's face turned red, she suddenly froze, and then her whole body stiffened.

  Mo Yi said: "Alright? What's wrong? Is your wound hurting?"

  An Ran immediately shook his head and said: "No... it's not... I heard a sound..."

  An Ran's hearing was very keen, and as soon as he said there were voices, everyone became vigilant.

  An Ran's eyes widened as she stared in the direction of the cave entrance, seemingly where the sound was coming from. Her lips trembled as she said: "Someone... someone is in that direction, he's laughing..."

  Is he laughing?

  Anran's words made everyone's back tremble with fear. Someone was outside their cave entrance, and he was still smiling, but what was he laughing at?

  An Ran seemed to be trembling slightly, narrowing her eyes and saying: "I heard this voice in my dream, I thought it was an illusion, he's been laughing... He laughed again just now."

  Just at this moment, a rustling sound was heard, and the trees that were about to enter the tree hole suddenly moved, as if someone was walking inside.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly sprang up, like a nimble hunting leopard, grabbed the Long Lin dagger and rushed out of the tree cave.

  Wen Baiyu shouted, and everyone immediately went to chase, pushing aside the trees outside the tree hole. The trees seemed to be growing wildly, a dense black mass covering the tree hole. As they rushed out, they heard the rustling of the trees in the forest, and there was no longer any sign of Wan Kuang Jing Hou...
