Hearing this question, Xing Yue also looked thoughtful and had no answer for a while.
A meal of roasted hare satisfies the appetite.
The two of them left Lulin and arrived outside the Trial Island. Xing Yue said: "Let's go to the inner palace together! Uncle Yong may have the answer to the strange beast that can burrow into the ground and the black worm."
Wei Ci would naturally not object.
Xing Yue led the way, followed closely by Wei Ci, who quickly returned to the island master's mansion, passed through the martial arts training ground and the vestibule, and arrived at a quiet small building.
From a distance, Wei Ci saw the old man he had taken the boat with, Xing Yong.
"Uncle Yong!" Xing Yue said hello.
Xing Yong turned around with a kind smile, completely unable to see the majesty of a strong man at the peak of the third level.
After sizing up Wei Ci, Xing Yong nodded imperceptibly.
The warrior's memory is far superior to that of ordinary people. With his memory, he has long recognized Wei Ci's identity. He was the only disciple Bai Nianran accepted on the ferry.
Xing Yue got straight to the point and gave a general account of what they encountered when they went deep into the snake's cave to search for treasure.
When they mentioned the alien beast and the black worm that could burrow into the ground, Wei Ci and Xing Yue took out the alien beast's body from the storage ring.
Regarding the strange beast that looks like a cicada that can burrow into the ground, Xing Yong immediately gave the answer: the underground demon pupa.
The crypt chrysalis is a creature that lives underground and has the ability to manipulate earth and rocks. Those densely packed sharp tentacles like centipede legs are used to swim underground.
The moment he saw the black worm, Xing Yong's eyes suddenly froze.
He carefully picked it up with his hands, looked at it for a long time before putting it down, and then put it away with a flash of his hand: "This thing is not simple, let me study it a little bit."
Wei Ci watched Xing Yong's movements and said nothing.
However, Xing Yong seemed to have seen his little thoughts, and he laughed and said: "Don't worry, my old man is not greedy for your little thing, and I will naturally compensate you in equal value."
Wei Ci: "..."
I didn't say anything, it was you who added to the drama yourself.
Xing Yong immediately left with the black worm, while Wei Ci and Xing Yue walked towards the island lord's mansion from the original route.
Wei Ci was thinking about some things while walking, reviewing the entire process of this treasure hunt.
Xing Yue followed behind, silently looking at the figure of the young man in front of him without speaking.
At this time, Wei Ci thought of another thing, the stone cave that was completely sealed at the beginning.
At that time, he was still wondering why there was no entrance to the cave. Now that he remembered what Xing Yong said, Wei Ci finally figured it out.
Since the alien beast that can burrow into the ground has the ability to manipulate earth and stone, it is not impossible to seal the entrance of the cave or even directly create a complete stone cave.
"Wei Ci, are we friends now?" Xing Yue suddenly said when he was about to leave the island master's mansion.
Wei Ci stopped and turned to look at her: "Of course!"
Then he added: "And they are good friends who have shared life and death together through thick and thin!"
Hearing this, Xing Yue suddenly felt a little happy in her heart. Although she had a distinguished status on the island, it was precisely because of this that she had few friends. Most of the people who were close to her were motivated by profit, even within the Xing family.
The two were chatting and laughing at the exit of the inner palace. For some reason, Xing Yue had the illusion that as long as Wei Ci stepped out of the island master's palace, he would be gone.
Half a moment.
Wei Ci waved his hand to Xing Yue, indicating that there was no need to send her far away, and then walked towards the Li family courtyard.
"hateful!"
In a corner of the island owner's mansion, a young man wearing a dark blue robe suddenly punched a pillar, leaving a shallow fist mark.
If Wei Ci were here, he would definitely recognize that the young man was a disciple of the same class as him in the island master's mansion, the younger generation of the Lu family - Lu Jingming.
Lu Jingming was so angry when he thought of Wei Ci and Xing Yue talking and laughing intimately just now.
Looking at Wei Ci's retreating figure, Lu Jingming's eyes flashed with fierceness: "Wei Ci, right? Very good! It doesn't matter if he made a big splash in two trials, an outsider dares to get involved with the person I like, Brother Lu
You’re right, you deserve to die!”
Deep in the island owner's mansion, there is a secret room.
Xing Yuan looked at the black worms on the table in front of him, his usual indifference gone, and the atmosphere in the secret room became a little solemn.
"Island owner, if we block the passage now, is it still too late?" Xing Yong asked with a heavy face.
The first time he saw the black worm, he realized the seriousness of the situation.
So he put it away without Wei Ci's consent.
Who would have thought that a tiny insect could be treated so seriously by the owner of an island as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Xing Yuan shook his head: "It's useless. I can feel the remnants of his spiritual thoughts from this God-Eating Insect. The underground demon pupa was controlled by the God-Eating Insect he raised, and the passage was opened. I'm afraid he already knows about it.
"
After saying that, Xing Yuan sighed and said: "I didn't expect it to be such a method. When Lingzhu Pavilion discovered the ancient mine, maybe his power had already penetrated into the ground."
Xing Yong said: "Speaking of which, Yue'er and that little guy deserve some credit for discovering the God-Eating Insect this time. If they hadn't accidentally collided with each other, we still don't know when we would have discovered the existence of the passage."
Hearing the word Yue'er, Xing Yuan's eyes showed a soft color.
He said slowly: "What is supposed to come will come eventually. For the matter I mentioned to you last time, let's start preparing as soon as possible."
"Yes, Island Master."
In the Li family courtyard, in the room, Wei Ci was counting the gains and losses of this outing with Xing Yue.
The Sumeru space plus the ring were filled to the brim with two storage items, which mainly contained the Red Viper King's beast crystal and a lot of materials on his body.
In addition, he and Xing Yue killed a large number of red vipers in the stone forest, including some high-level red vipers. Wei Ci also searched for beast element crystals, 39 in total.
Among them, there are 28 low-level spiritual ones, 7 mid-level ones, and 4 high-level ones. With such a record, even in the trial that just ended, it can still rank fourth.
A wave of fat!
The only pity is that the Qingling Bow is damaged, and I don’t know if it can be repaired.
Wei Ci sighed sadly and began to mentally look inside himself.
Deep in the spiritual sea, a golden diamond-shaped crystal is slowly overflowing with mist. The overflowing mist has the same source as his spiritual power mist, and is slowly expanding the spiritual sea.
Feeling the slight growth of the spiritual sea, Wei Ci pondered quietly.
The spiritual power filled in the crystal is pure and vast, as if the spiritual power is so rich that it condenses into a solid state.
Just the overflowing part is making his spiritual sea grow rapidly.
If they were all released, to what extent would his spiritual sea expand?
This spiritual crystal suddenly appeared when he was attacked by a black worm and saved his life.
Judging from the smell, Wei Ci intuitively felt that this might be related to the mysterious missing father.
Although the origin needs to be explored, there should be no danger. What makes him confused is that the spiritual sea and the mind and will are connected and mysterious and abnormal. How did it appear?
