On the stone platform, the inside of the jade box at this moment continued to emit strong fluctuations. As the energy waves continued to expand, it actually made a "buzzing" sound, as if there was a living thing hidden in it.
Looking at the trembling jade box, Liu Tao and Hao Bai frowned more and more, squeezed the sweat from their palms, and stood not far away, waiting calmly.
At the moment when the treasures of heaven, materials and earth are taking shape, no external force can penetrate into them. Otherwise, the treasures will be counterattacked at the least, and all the treasures will be destroyed at worst.
The originally peaceful night became a little thought-provoking at this moment when the exquisite tricolor flowers were about to bloom.
Time passed little by little, and the jade box on the stone platform seemed to be endlessly absorbing the energy around it.
The range of energy absorption is also constantly expanding, from a hundred feet at the beginning to several thousand meters in radius...
Now it has extended its "devil's claws" outside the cave, and it looks like it is ready to swallow up the world.
…
Outside the cave, the soul chasing team is hidden in the dark night. At a glance, it seems to an ordinary person that there is no one there. It is eerily silent. Even if you use your mental power to explore the surrounding space, you will not find the slightest energy fluctuation.
But this is just an illusion. In fact, there are six people here, and these six people actually look exactly the same. Plus, all of them are as tall as dwarfs, which makes people look a little creepy. They are all wearing black jumpsuits, perfectly matching the night.
They merged together and used special means to hide their own strength.
Even Hao Bai, who was at the peak of the Zhan Zong, never noticed the six of them in an extremely alert state, which shows how terrifying their concealment methods are.
Among the six people, the first person, after feeling the powerful energy fluctuations suddenly emanating from the originally calm cave, opened his eyes the same color as the night at the next moment, with bits and pieces of green light shining in his eyes.
The others also slowly opened their eyes at this moment with understanding.
After all six people opened their eyes, the leader made a dazzling gesture toward the person behind him.
After he made this gesture, the person behind him also quickly made a complicated gesture.
Neither of them made the slightest sound.
Finally, the leader nodded slightly to the other five, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
…
In a forest a hundred miles away from the Uninhabited Valley, a fiery-red figure in his prime was patiently waiting for something with his hands clasped behind his back. This man was none other than Cheng Hui, who had just arrived from Bandle City.
At this moment, a figure came quickly.
The figure quickly walked to Cheng Hui, then knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists with both hands and reported to Cheng Hui, "Report to the City Lord, there is something abnormal in the cave..."
The person who came quickly seemed to be the man in black who was leading the group of six people outside the cave not long ago.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hui nodded expressionlessly and said, "Continue to observe..." and then waved his hand to indicate that he understood and asked him to step back.
The man said "Yes!" and hurried away again.
Just as he left, three people slowly walked out from the woods.
These three people all give people a dangerous feeling.
Obviously, Cheng Hui's conversation with this man just now was overheard by them word for word.
The three of them walked up to Cheng Hui. The leader was in his sixties, his skin was sickly white, his eyes were almost invisible on an old face, and wrinkles covered his whole body, which made people shudder.
These three people all wear a headband on their heads. The other two look very similar to the previous one, except that they appear to be younger. Their skin is also sickly white.
The leader walked up to Cheng Hui and said in an old-fashioned voice, "You paid a lot of money to let us three brothers come here just to kill the people in the cave?"
Cheng Hui looked at the three people in front of him who had paid nearly half of the treasures in his treasure pavilion to invite them. His heart was full of disgust, but he smiled and said, "Ge Lao, you are not one person, but two people."
"Oh? Didn't you say that you only need to kill one person at the top of the War Sect? Why is there an extra person now? In this case, according to the rules, the price will be increased." The leader named Ge Lao seemed to hesitate for a while before saying.
.
When Cheng Hui heard his asking price, he secretly snorted in his heart, "Humph! Insatiable greed! I'll deal with you after I deal with Hao Bai. How dare I raise the price with Cheng Hui."
But he explained, "It is true that we only need to solve one of the peak war sects, and the other is a boy who only has the realm of war life. It is just dispensable."
"I hope what you said is the truth. If it's not what you said, negotiating the price afterwards will hurt the harmony." Hearing Cheng Hui's explanation, Ge Lao said in a low voice.
Realizing the threat in Ge Lao's words, Cheng Hui had no choice. The situation was stronger than others, so he could only laugh and said, "How could it be? If it wasn't what I said, I should apologize to Ge Lao afterwards."
When Ge Lao heard this, he just nodded his withered head gently and did not reply.
…
Inside the cave, Liu Tao and his wife, who were completely unaware of the actions of the outside world, were still paying close attention to the changes in the exquisite tricolor.
At this moment, it has illuminated the entire cave extremely brightly, and the energy wave it emits has reached another level, and the range of energy absorption has expanded to dozens of miles away!
Seeing the endless absorption and overflow of energy by the three-color exquisite, Liu Tao also became a little impatient. He sat on the bluestone, put his legs aside, rolled his eyes and complained to Haobai, "When on earth?"
It’s just the beginning. If it continues like this, we have to keep guarding it like this..."
Feeling that Liu Tao was already a little impetuous at this time, Hao Bai secretly smiled, "He is still a child after all..."
He comforted her face with a soft voice, "Don't worry, I guess there will be a result tomorrow morning, but... alas... it doesn't matter, whatever."
Hao Bai sighed deeply as he spoke.
When Liu Tao heard the sigh, he immediately raised his head, looked at Hao Bai in confusion, and asked, "Just what?"
Hao Bai did not answer, but replied in his heart, "How can such a natural treasure be so quiet? This is the calm before the storm. Alas, no matter what, I will block it for you!"
Then he looked at Liu Tao's questioning eyes, and for a moment, he showed an extremely kind expression.
Liu Tao, who was not far away, was even more confused by Hao Bai's move. Seeing that Hao Bai didn't answer him, he stopped asking for trouble and continued to ask questions. He sat quietly aside and played with the things he had just picked up from the ground in a boring way.
A piece of dead grass rising up.
…
Several hours have passed, and outside the cave, a fish-belly-like light has appeared in the eastern sky.
