Chapter 266: What a big iron-eater

Bai Xiu didn't dare to move in an instant, even if he was just concentrating on finding clues, but without him noticing, this person could come behind him quietly and silently, and his strength was definitely above him. However, he still pretended to study the stone wall on his face, in order to lower the vigilance of the other party.

There was only half a meter between him and the man, but they wanted two people from parallel worlds, each focusing on what he was doing. But Bai Xiu knew that such a confrontation would definitely be short-lived, and if the other party noticed that Bai Xiu had discovered him, then he would definitely make a move, without leaving Bai Xiu any time to fight back.

And Bai Xiu must preemptively strike in this gap, and the opportunity is unique. He held his breath and could almost hear the other man's heartbeat, and his hand was slowly accumulating, and it would be great if he could deliver a fatal blow.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the forest. Bai Xiu was stunned for a moment, and a strong spiritual power suddenly passed from his back. said that it was too late, and as soon as it was too late, Bai Xiu's figure shrank, and he rolled over from under the man's arm. At the same time, he slashed his palm under his opponent's wrist, then kicked his right foot in the crook of his knee, and he slid a few steps with his own force.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't hide at all, the cyan light in his hand skyrocketed, and the familiar spiritual power fluctuations surged towards him in an instant. Bai Xiu was stunned in place for an instant, and even forgot to dodge. And he finally saw the other party's appearance clearly, it was a face exactly like him.

Could it be that Zheng Ruyi is not dead, and now he just wants to make a joke with him?! Bai Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart, he hoped so, but unfortunately he thought of another possibility, the other party was likely to be the person who pretended to be him and mixed into the team.

But he felt uneasy in his heart, a person can pretend to be a person, and even his spiritual power fluctuations can be imitated, but that feeling will not be wrong.

Bai Xiu's intuition told him that this person was himself.

He saw himself, and was about to be killed by him.

In the second or two, countless thoughts came to him—was he hallucinating? Or was there only two of him in the world? Or was he insane, and he wanted to kill himself?

Unfortunately, he was hit by the cyan light, and all his thoughts spread with the boundless pain in his heart until he disappeared.

When consciousness returned again, Bai Xiu subconsciously touched his hand. A cold intent came from the Demon Breaker Blade, making him clearly realize that he had completely woken up.

That's right, he finally returned to his body, and what had happened before was like a strange dream.

He quickly stood up, and a dull pain came from his left foot, and he couldn't help but think, could it be that his body was still injured in that mudslide after all?

Thinking wildly, Bai Xiu looked at the surrounding environment. It seemed to be a cave, and the light of the stars spilled from the ceiling gave it a hazy sense of nothingness. The four walls of this cave are very neat, and there seem to be traces of artificial carving. The cave was empty, except for a well lying quietly in the middle, almost an arm's width wide.

And Bai Xiu was lying by the well. This surprised him a little, and the current situation was more like someone saved him. It's just that there are no doors or windows in this stone room, and there are no other gaps, and I don't know how the other party saw him send it in.

He examined his body and found that nothing serious seemed to be wrong except for the injury on his foot. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he tried to take a few steps, and walked around the well, and examined it carefully. At a glance, he noticed something unusual about the well—it was filled with sand instead of water, and it was a manhole.

Bai Xiu tried to clean the sand from the surface, but the strange thing was that no matter how much sand he picked up, it would soon be weighed by new sand, and the sand was like water, gushing out of the ground.

Bai Xiu was a little helpless, and turned to check the situation nearby, but he didn't get anything, this place was just like the place where he met the Xingxiao in Tianyan before, it seemed that a specific method was needed to open the exit.

He had to pay attention to the well again, but fortunately, he was back to normal now, whether it was the greedy wolf Yuque or the ghost eye, he used it freely. After thinking about it, he used the Imperial Spirit to lure the trace, and the red blood line soon drilled into the well.

A few seconds later, Bai Xiu put away the blood line with a strange expression, because he found that the sand layer was no more than a meter high, and below it was an incomparably vast space. Where is this well...... He could imagine a scene where there was a relatively small cave on the roof of a huge cavern, and a hole of more than a meter connected to them was made.

A thought popped into his mind for no reason, the small cave was like a mother's belly, and the big cave was the vast world outside. The well is like an umbilical cord, connecting the uterus to the outside world. And that sand is the nourishment of some kind of monster in the breeding cave.

Stop thinking nonsense...... He couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and a familiar feeling of tiredness spread, making his heart sink in.

"Am I 'dead' again? Am the Three Corpses going to fail......" he muttered.

But now was not the time to think about it, he had to find a way to get out of here. At last he took a gamble and jumped straight out of the well. Sure enough, he passed through the sand in an instant, and before reaching the ground, he repeated his old trick, using the power of the greedy wolf to unload the falling force.

The bottom of this big cave was full of rocks, and thanks to his dexterity, he fell to the ground safely. Bai Xiu noticed that less than three meters away from him, there seemed to be something crawling in the pile of rocks.

He walked cautiously and found that it was one stone ball after another. They're the size of a basketball, and they're so round that they look like they've been polished. He reached out and touched it, and the cold touch came to him. As soon as he withdrew his hand, he found that the stone ball was wet, leaving a little water stain on his fingertips.

He asked curiously, and a smell of lime came to his face. He lost interest, and went around to the vicinity to continue his investigation, and not far away, he found another pile of these stone balls, but they were much drier than before, and the color was a little whitish.

This made him have a bad guess, and quickly cast his eyes to the end of the cave, and vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a hole there. He didn't hesitate any longer, and walked briskly.

He had only taken two steps when there was a sudden jolt under his feet, and at the same time, the sound of extremely heavy footsteps came from the other side.

Immediately decided, Bai Xiu hid behind a pile of rocks, and in the next second, an incredible scene appeared.

Countless stone chips fell from a wall on the opposite side, and out of it came a huge, grayish head as white as a stone.

"Uh-huh-" A strange cry came from its mouth, and its massive feet clung desperately to the floor, as if trying to crawl out of the wall.

However, it was too clumsy, and several attempts were unsuccessful.

Bai Xiu finally came back to her senses, and she couldn't cry or laugh in her heart. Unexpectedly, the previous guess turned out to come true, and something was really bred in the small cave, it was the clumsy stone beast in front of him. And those balls, needless to say, must be their dung.

In fact, he should have thought that when he was a child, his aunt told him a story, which mentioned a fierce beast called the iron eater. The iron-eating cat, which can swallow steel and eat iron, is where its name comes from, but in fact, it prefers to eat stones.

Iron eater is kind by nature, coupled with his clumsy body, if he is not too mammoth, it can be said to be naïve.

The iron-eater tried several times, but could not climb out of the wall, so he drooped his head and snorted aggrievedly against the floor. Bai Xiu felt pity in his heart, so he walked over, and with a pinch of the magic trick in his hand, he cut the corner of the stone pillar that was stuck in it.

Although the iron-eating creature was clumsy, it instinctively moved forward, and finally with Bai Xiu's help, it was freed again.

"Uh-huh-" It danced and jumped around Bai Xiu, as if thanking him. Bai Xiu's attention was attracted by the cave it crawled into, it was not big or small, it was level with the iron-eating carpenter, and the gravel in it was stacked, and it was actually dug out temporarily.

Bai Xiu couldn't help but think that this iron-eating power was infinite, and it pierced the entire stone wall, but in the end, it was stuck by that small stone pillar and couldn't move, which was really strange.

And at this moment, Bai Xiu's heart moved, maybe he could first follow the direction where the iron eater came from, maybe it came in from outside the mountain.

He was walking towards the huge hole, but he didn't want to bang and smash something in front of him. He was startled, and was about to step aside, but saw the iron-eater poking his head over, and his huge claws pushed the stone the size of an old-fashioned TV set, and pushed it to Bai Xiu like a plate of snacks.

"Uh-huh-" The iron-eater ran wildly again, like a naughty child, despite his huge size, he was really a child.

Bai Xiu smiled dumbly, could it be that this iron eater regarded him as a fellow kind and wanted to invite him to dinner?

He was thinking wildly, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a little light in the stone. Surprised, he squatted down to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw something in the corner that was completely different from the stone.

With a movement in his heart, he pulled out the Demon Breaker Blade and sliced one side of the stone open. Almost instantly, a brilliant light surged out, making Bai Xiu subconsciously cover his eyes.

When he looked at it again, the light disappeared again, Bai Xiu took out a flashlight from his pocket and shone it, and in an instant, a bright starlight appeared in front of him.

"This is!" Bai Xiu looked at the "stone" in disbelief, and it took a while to come back to his senses and mutter, "Here...... How can there be a jade ...... here?"

That's right, Bai Xiu was sure that the core of this stone was the same material as the jade of Hongyuan Island, and even its quality was purer than that of the Seven Spirit Jade Que.

This is incredible, the jade stone was originally planted by the Heavenly Cultivation Venerable Bai Xingyi to help the Hongyuan Island lineage protect the seal of chaos, could it be that this is its place of origin?

Or noticing his amazement, the iron-eater shook his head triumphantly. Bai Xiu asked tentatively, "Hmm...... Little brother, do you know where there is such a stone?"

The iron eater tilted his head, as if he didn't understand his words, and Bai Xiu pointed to the stone again. It jumped, stomped the ground with a thud, and ran toward a pile of rubble.

Bai Xiu hurriedly walked over, but saw that it hit it with all its strength, and the stone pile was scattered. When the dust settled, a stone cave that was exactly the same as the one just before was revealed.
