Yunxi didn’t pay much attention to the tsundere and shyness between Oreki and Chitanda.
She took two steps forward alone and walked to the place where Tongmu and Qingyan disappeared, trying to feel the traces of spiritual power here.
The appearance of Tongmu and Qingyan did not put much pressure on Yunxi, but more doubts about the origins of these two people. Judging from the previous situation, it was obvious that they were not here to assassinate him.
"Is the target everything in the cave?"
Yun Xi looked deep into the cave. Suddenly, she remembered what happened before and asked, "Senior Oreki, have you found anything there?"
Oreki knew that Yun Xi was asking about the inside of the cave, so he nodded and said, "I found some things, which are relatively rare spiritual plant crystals."
"If I guessed correctly, this should be the treasure trove of a certain spiritual beast."
Oreki made this judgment.
Yun Xi nodded slightly. Oreki's judgment was not unreasonable. Being able to create such a secret cave in such a place, hiding a treasure bred by nature such as spiritual plants and spiritual crystals, it is indeed possible for spiritual beasts to do it.
Bigger.
"But, do spiritual beasts also arrange formations?"
It was Chitanda asking.
Oreki said: "There are also spiritual beasts that can set up formations and can block the entry of spiritual beings. This spiritual beast may not be an ordinary spiritual beast."
‘Spirit?’
Yun Xi immediately understood that the person Zhemu called to protect them outside was a spirit person.
This surprised her a little. It was basically impossible for students like them to go out on missions to have university teachers specially accompany them.
Oreki is not as talented as Yun Xi and others, enough to attract the teacher's special attention, so where did he come from?
Yun Xi did not dwell too much on this doubt. After all, no matter what, the outcome would not be harmful to herself.
The question she has to face now is: continue to move forward, or go back the same way.
Yun Xi looked at Chitanda. There was no system notification sound in her mind, which meant that Chitanda's confusion had not yet been resolved.
Therefore, she asked directly: "Senior Chitanda, do you have any questions?"
"Eh?"
Chitanda did not expect that this school girl would observe her so carefully. She hesitated, shook her head, and said with a smile: "No more. Thank you for your help this time. Let's go back."
‘This is a lie!’
Yun Xi judged that she had already achieved this, and five thousand points were already within her reach. If she just went back like this, she might lie in bed thinking about this and be unable to sleep.
"Senior, it's okay. If you have any confusion, just tell me. It's okay with me."
Oreki glanced at Yun Xi imperceptibly.
Why is this school girl so sure that Chitanda’s doubts have not yet been resolved?
But if Chitanda really doesn't fully believe the answer he gave, then he can only continue to look for reasons for her to believe it. He doesn't want Chitanda to be depressed because of this later.
"Chitanda, tell me, I will help."
Chitanda opened his mouth slightly, and finally pointed to the cave ahead: "I just want to know what is inside this intersection, and why did my classmates see the golden light at the entrance?"
"Golden light?"
After Chitanda's sudden reminder, Yunxi and Oreki suddenly realized that along the way, they also ignored a very important piece of information, that is, the golden light that was mentioned.
If they could see the golden light standing outside the cave, then the light must not be deep in the winding cave. They actually ignored this, but instinctively saw the bend and walked in! p>
"Would you like to see what's hidden behind this first?"
Before Yun Xi took a step forward, she asked Ying Nianling: "Xiaoying, is there still an uneasy feeling coming from there?"
Ying Nianling had stopped her when she was about to pass, but when she met Qingyan, she ignored it again.
How to decide this time?
Ying Nianling put her little hand on her chest: "A little bit, but it's okay, Yun Xi, if there is danger, I will protect you."
Yun Xi rubbed her head gently: "Okay."
Turning around, she said: "Senior, let's go take a look first?"
"Hmm."
Picking up the flashlights, the four of them illuminated the road ahead and walked forward together. They turned three corners in a row and gradually felt a blazing temperature.
"The temperature has increased, and the surrounding spiritual energy has become much stronger. There should be some spiritual plants in here."
Before they even got there, Oreki had already made a judgment.
A red light lit up at the corner ahead. The four of them turned off the light of their flashlights, slowed down and walked cautiously.
When they came to the last corner, they all carefully poked their heads out.
The blazing red light enveloped the entire stone chamber, and Yanling stones were inlaid on the surrounding walls, which was beautiful and elegant.
There are red spiritual plants growing on the flat ground, standing quietly in the absence of wind.
Just as Oreki had judged, the end of this intersection was the same as the one they passed through, a stone room, some spiritual crystals and spiritual plants.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
To be on the safe side, Yun Xi dug out a stone from the wall and threw it into the stone room.
Dong dong dong...
The stones bounced on the ground a few times, but nothing happened.
"Should be safe."
Yun Xi said.
Then the four of them walked into the stone room.
This is a very small stone room, about the size of a bedroom in a normal house. I couldn't see it completely at the intersection just now, but now that I have entered, Yun Xi realizes it.
In fact, in addition to the spiritual crystals and spiritual plants here, there is also a small pillar. The color of the pillar does not match the color of the surrounding stone walls, and it looks very abrupt here.
Yun Xi took a step forward and walked to the pillar to observe carefully. In order to prevent touching the mechanism or something, Yun Xi did not reach out to touch it.
"It looks like a candlestick. There should have been something placed on it."
Oreki came over. He seemed to have a certain understanding of this kind of incident.
Chitanda said: "So, this should be the same as the stone chamber we just went to, but the types of spiritual plants placed are different, and there is an extra pillar here."
The spiritual plants and spiritual crystals placed here are biased toward the positive side, while the stone chamber Oreki and the others passed by are biased towards the cold side.
"Divide these things equally?"
Yun Xi looked at the relatively rich products and expressed his opinion. In this kind of adventure treasure hunting process, all the treasures discovered should be divided equally, right?
"This is yours."
Two spiritual lights flew out and landed in front of Yun Xi and Ying Nian Ling. As early as when the stone chamber collected these spiritual plants, Oreki had already divided the things into four parts.
Yun Xi smiled, not doubting whether Oreki was hiding something secretly, and accepted it directly and generously: "Thank you, senior."
Ying Nianling also learned to bow.
Afterwards, several people were unambiguous and accepted these treasures of nature one after another. The spiritual plants and crystals in these two stone chambers were of a rare type. If they were exchanged at the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, they could exchange for a lot of points.
This trip, they have already made a lot of money.
After picking the last spiritual plant, the feared accident did not happen. Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone behind him: "Then let's go back first."
"..."
Yun Xi received no response.
She turned back in confusion.
The bright pupils suddenly shrank, and her sight passed through the space and spread all the way into the dark cave path.
There was absolute silence all around, and the small stone room was completely empty. The people traveling with her disappeared without knowing when.
