The way back is much easier than Xu Xing's fantasy, which will inevitably make people feel some sighs, and the tight strings in their hearts seem to be as uncomfortable as if they have been emptied.
Originally, the secret passage that left this place was very hidden, but after that devastating thunderstorm, no matter how strong the formation was, it couldn't support it, so the exposed secret passage was very light and was found by the girls of the night family.
Walking along the long secret passage, during which he also received information from Yushan Yuzhai reinforcements, but he could not determine the correct direction in the secret passage under the sea, so Lin Xiaofeng simply replied that the other party was fine, and there was no loss of personnel, and nothing else was mentioned.
The secret passage is very long, and the exit is on another reef far away from the reef of Leiyin Cave, when they appeared on the reef, the weather outside was not very good, it seemed that there had just been a storm, and now the dark clouds were scattered, it seemed that there were signs of a comeback, and the wind and waves on the sea were also very strong, fortunately, the exit of the secret passage was protected by a formation, otherwise the secret passage would have been flooded.
After leaving the secret passage from here, Lin Xiaofeng contacted a coast guard patrol boat to pick up everyone, as for why she arranged the boat instead of the plane, Xu Xingkong didn't ask much, maybe she was worried that the plane had an obvious target and would be easily discovered by the demon clan wandering in the surrounding waters.
This group of adventurers who had just escaped death sat in the cave at the exit of the secret passage and waited quietly, everyone in the night family took turns on duty, everyone else sat down to heal, Lin Xiaofeng also sat on his backpack, closed his eyes to heal.
The eyes of the night girl in charge of the vigilance swept over Xu Xingkong's body from time to time, of course, it was not that Xu Xingkong's charm suddenly became bigger, in fact, they were concerned about the little milk cat sleeping in Xu Xingkong's arms, although Lin Xiaofeng and Ye Yaoxin didn't say anything about the identity of that kitten, but they could all guess a thing or two, even if that little guy was not the Thunder Swallowing Beast itself, he must have a close relationship with the Thunder Swallowing Beast.
However, they all know that this matter is about xΓ¬ιdΓ , and no one asks anything without interest, but the curiosity in their hearts cannot be eliminated, and they always unconsciously throw their attention to the sleeping little guy.
In fact, Lin Xiaofeng was not in the meditation to heal, she was using the Yuan Spirit Transmission Technique to talk to Xu Xingkong warmly, the irrepressible excitement made Xu Xingkong very surprised, perhaps, this is a rebellion after the heavy pressure is released.
"So, from the very beginning, you thought there was such a thing as a thunder-swallowing beast?"
"I can't say that at the beginning, I told you, it was just a legend with no corroboration. β
"Then when did you start changing your mind?"
"What the hell are you trying to ask?"
Xu Xingkong grinned silently, worthy of Lin Xiaofeng, sure enough, she had just shown a sign, and she was keenly aware that she wanted to go around in circles.
"Okay, I'll just say it straight, don't be angry. β
"Hmm. β
"I mean, when the three of us found out about this little guy, you deliberately pretended to be in poor health, right?
"There is a saying that the heart of a non-I race must be different, although it sounds a little uncomfortable, but, racial differences sometimes override many things, in fact, I just want to see if Ye Yaoxin's will is firm enough, after this incident, whether she wants to or not, she has to face many things. β
"I see, actually, what I want to know is the 'many' stuff you said. β
Xu Xingkong's words made Lin Xiaofeng, who had become talkative, silent again, and after a while, she replied a little coldly:
"It's better that you don't know these things. β
Lin Xiaofeng's answer made Xu Xingkong feel very uncomfortable, but he took a deep breath to suppress the inexplicable irritability in his heart, and patiently said:
"But, since I can't even hide from Yaoxin, can I be able to hide? I'll have to face it sooner or later, so it's better to let me know as soon as possible, and I'll have a good mental preparation, right?"
Lin Xiaofeng paused and replied disdainfully:
"You think too much, you are just a periphery, it is not difficult for Master to take you out of this matter, if you really can't hide from it, I will naturally sue you for everything, but I think this kind of machine is very small. β
Xu Xingkong clenched his fists unwillingly, but Lin Xiaofeng really refused to say, Xu Xingkong really didn't have any way, his eyes rolled, and he continued to ask unwillingly:
"At the beginning of this operation, you wanted to get more Nine Heavens Thunder Stones, right? Why didn't you even mention it after you found the little guy?"
"Huh, that's your own ignorance, since it has been confirmed that the existence of the Nine Heavens Thunder Stone is because of the Thunder Swallowing Beast, it is definitely impossible to find more Nine Heavens Thunder Stones in a short period of time, have you forgotten that that thing is actually the food that the Thunder Swallowing Beast feeds its offspring?"
"But if you can find a small piece from that far away, maybe"
"That's right, maybe you can find more Nine Heavens Thunder Stones by digging carefully, but didn't I say 'in a short time'? This kind of needle-in-a-haystack work, do you think we should do it now?"
"Amount"
"Also, according to my guess, this should not be a demon clan's lair, but a secret nest of thunder-swallowing beasts. β
"No, it's said that the Thunder Swallowing Beasts are the kings of demon beasts, shouldn't they be the kings and hegemons of the vast land?
"No, it's reasonable here, all the demon beasts think that the Thunder Swallowing Beast will build a nest on their own territory, but in fact it ran to this wild sea to build a nest and secretly cultivate offspring, which is just in line with the legend about the Thunder Swallowing Beast, it seems that the Thunder Swallowing Beast is really very weak when it is inherited. β
"But, why was it sealed? Also, who made this sealing array? If it was a demon clan, why would they choose to seal the thunder-swallowing beast instead of using it?"
"That's a good question, I've been thinking about this question for a long time, and now I have a little guess, maybe, they don't want to seal the Thunder Swallowing Beast, but want to use it, because the so-called sealing array is just our guess, and we don't actually know the specific purpose of that formation, do we?"
"Is this really?"
"Pushing ourselves and others, if we Yushan Yuzhai get this guy, we will definitely carefully 'protect' it, and then hΓ²u will study and use it, so it is also reasonable to build a sealing array of that size for the king of ancient demon beasts, right?
"Indeed, if the human race knows that the demon clan is studying the thunder-swallowing beast, a big killing weapon, they will definitely try their best to stop the destruction, hey, you mean that I have some understanding of what Ye Yaoxin is going to face, isn't this a little unfair to her!"
"Do you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? The Ye family is also a family that is sheltered under our Yushan Yuzhai, we will not let others manipulate Ye Yao's heart at will, as long as my master is still there, but there must be a certain amount of pressure, whether it is external or internal. β
Ye Yaoxin's words sounded very strong, but after tasting it carefully, in fact, her words were full of helplessness and uneasiness, as well as hidden deeper unwillingness.
Xu Xingkong didn't want to continue this heavy topic, it seems that Lin Xiaofeng is right, he still doesn't know that these things are better, and these things will make people feel helpless and powerless at any time, but you can't do without these things for a moment, since you can't change it, sometimes people have to learn to avoid it properly, otherwise, they are likely to be driven crazy.
"Is the weather on that surface of the sea a natural change or is it caused by the fighting over there. β
"Of course, it was caused by the fighting, although the climate on the sea in summer is not very stable, but the air on the sea is already filled with the smell of war, haven't you noticed? β
"Since there are no more Nine Heavens Thunder Stones, I mean there won't be a large number of Nine Heavens Thunder Stones, so why continue the war? β
"Childish, if they stop now, do we still have any hope of going back alive? The more they fight there, the more the demon clan thinks that there are still things of great value below, and the control of the sea will naturally not be so rigorous, besides, who told you that there are not a large number of Nine Heavens Thunder Stones below?
"Well, when I didn't ask. β
The two were silent for a while, Xu Xingkong looked up at the rain that was blown almost sideways by the wind from outside the cave entrance, and said with some hesitation:
"Well, how's your injury?"
"Well, oh it's okay, it's not a big deal, just rest for a while. β
"Really?!"
ββ
"Then why won't this little guy be sliced?"
"I don't think so, those guys can always squeeze every ounce of value out, how can it be so easy to let it die. β
"Those guys?"
"Well, those madmen from the Institute!"
"Is it Yushan Yuzhai's research institute or?"
"Of course, it's our Yushan Yuzhai Research Institute, for the Damen Sect, it's not the territory that depends on it at all, but the research results, although you have just started to practice, but you should also feel that the cultivation is over as long as you simply strengthen your soul, but, what should you do? What methods, means and assistance are needed, these things are complicated. β
"Understand, science and technology are the commanding heights, so what does the institute study?"
"Anything is studied, you can see it for yourself, as long as you can think of any field, they are all researching. β
"Listening to you say this, we should be very strong in China, and we attach so much importance to research, but in fact, why is that country on the other side of the ocean more powerful?
On the one hand, the war has spurred the development of the cultivation civilization, and sometimes it has strictly hindered and destroyed the brilliant civilization on the land of China, despite this, we are still ahead for thousands of years, but two hundred years ago, a conspiracy of humans and demons to unite to destroy Huaxia almost succeeded. β
"So, so to speak, we have an enmity with those so-called advanced Western civilizations?"
"It's just interests, it's too superficial to talk about hatred, after thinking that they have succeeded in destroying China, they are planning to destroy Europe, and the country on the other side of the ocean, which has always been despicable, took the opportunity to recruit a large number of ancient European family lords to settle in that peaceful continent like a paradise, so"
"I see"
"However, despite the intrigue, the human race also took the opportunity to consume the vitality of the demon clan, and the demon clan was completely suppressed, so there was a peaceful situation for decades, they are here, ready to go. (To be continued.) )
