Chapter 325: Separately (II)
After leaving the dungeon, Shenhuan did not go back to join Du Xiao as soon as possible, but went to the warehouse of Du Mansion first.
The small stone house, which was already in tatters, had been reduced to a puddle of rubble under the attack of Bai Feishuang's snow-melting sword. Shen Huan's eyes froze, and a sword qi spontaneously pierced into the gravel for no reason, causing a splash of rocks!
Catching a splash of rubble, Shen Huan's expression became more and more puzzled.
There is no trace of blood on the gravel here, which means that the mysterious old man who should have been stationed here did not die under the first wave of Bai Feishuang's attack. At that time, Shen Huan had been paying attention to the movement around and had not seen anyone escape.
In other words, the old man had already left quietly long before Bai Feishuang's attack!
And now Du Xiao, who was seriously injured, did not mention anything about the old man during the entire escape process, indicating that he thought that the old man must have died in the first wave of Bai Feishuang's attack like everyone else. Then the identity of this old man becomes even more suspicious!
The doubts in Shen Huan's heart were even heavier, and with a sword finger, dozens of sword qi **** came out, completely sweeping away the gravel here, revealing the entrance to the warehouse in the original stone house.
The entrance was now enclosed by a black stone that was completely different from its surroundings, and countless strange patterns were carved on it, and the light in the lines flowed, obviously containing extraordinary power!
This is not a means of protection under the auspices of Du Hao!
Shenhuan made a judgment at the first time!
Regarding the matter of the warehouse, Shenhuan had heard the priest mention it. For the sake of the safety of the warehouse, Du Xiao personally took action, and with the law of virtual reality that he is best at, it took several years to turn the entire underground warehouse into a place with a more exquisite and magical virtual and real scene than the study. If the warehouse is in danger of being destroyed, the entire underground warehouse will be completely hidden into nothingness.
And now, what Shen Huan sees is a completely different means of protection! That is to say, the means of protection laid by Du Xiao have been cracked and replaced by this black slate!
Without thinking about it, Shen Huan also knew that this must have been done by the mysterious old man: "It seems that the old man, like me, is a person with a heart who has infiltrated the 'Spirit of the Earth'. No wonder he looked at me that day with such a strange look...... Perhaps, he really has the ability to see through people's hearts...... However, his goal is different from mine, he should be here for the resources that Du Xiao has......"
Shen Huan already had a rough judgment in his heart.
According to the priest, the old man was the first group of people to follow Du Xiao, so he won Du Xiao's trust. Such a person is not only extraordinary, but also extraordinary, but also extraordinary. Shen Huan didn't want to explore the true identity of the old man, after all, the matter of the "Earth Spirit" was enough for Shen Huan to be busy now, and it was really not appropriate to make a fuss.
After thinking about it, Shen Huan waved his hand and pulled it with strength, gathering back the rubble that had been swept away by the sword qi, and re-burying the entrance of the underground warehouse.
After doing all this, Shen Huan turned into light and headed towards the dense forest a hundred miles away......
In the Starlight Tower, a flame gate slowly opened, and Zhuo Qing stepped out of the door steadily, with undisguised joy on his tired face.
"How do you feel?" Flame Star sat on his red stone chair, looking at his student with satisfaction, "Your talent is extraordinary, but you lack the proper methods and circumstances. The three flame realms I created for you have improved you a lot, how do you feel now?"
"This feeling gives me the inspiration to compose poetry, Master, do you want to listen to it?" Zhuo Qing shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile.
"Forget it. The Flame Star Officer waved his hand, although the time spent together was not too long, but the Flame Star Officer already had a considerable understanding of Zhuo Qing's storyteller nature that he never forget, "They are suspicious of your friend, I will find a way to prove your friend's innocence." ”
"Master, do you believe him?"
"Of course. A few days ago, my friend Bai Feishuang also came to ask me about your friend, and you were in the Flame Secret Realm at the time, so I didn't let you come out to meet him. My friend admires your friend very much, and I'm sure he won't be wrong. The Flame Star Officer smiled, "Okay, I still have something to come out, so let's leave first, and you can rest for a while now." ”
"Congratulations to the Master. "Zhuo Qing still respects the cheap master of the Flame Star Officer. At least Zhuo Qing could feel that the Flame Star Officer was indeed giving him all his money without reservation.
After seeing the Flame Star Official disappear into a patch of starlight, Zhuo Qing put away the folding fan and found a chair to sit down at random. The current Zhuo Qing can't relax at all, the heart stone is indeed on Shen Huan, if the Flame Star Official intends to prove Shen Huan's innocence, maybe it will expose Shen Huan's identity instead.
But the Flame Star Officer was kind-hearted, how could Zhuo Qing stop it lightly?
What's more, since returning from the Starlight Council that day, Zhuo Qing has always vaguely felt that something is wrong, but he can't think of what it is.
"Shen Huan's current situation is very dangerous, if the matter of the Heart Stone is discovered, neither the Starlight Tower nor the 'Earth Spirit' will let him go. Zhuo Qing rubbed his forehead, "That star hunter is pretty good to Shen Huan, maybe he can give some good advice...... Wait! Star hunter, I know what's the problem!"
Zhuo Qing's eyes lit up, Huo Ran stood up from his position, and his originally chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear: "When the star hunter came to ask Shenhuan to investigate the matter of the 'Earth Spirit' that day, he said that he would sponsor Shenhuan in front of all the star officials. But judging from the attitude of the star officials that day, it seemed that they had heard about Shenhuan for the first time. So...... In other words, this matter was actually decided by the star hunter privately?"
Zhuo Qing's guess is not entirely accurate, but it is quite close to the truth of the matter.
Originally, the Starlight Tower really needed a person of average strength but smart and capable to secretly investigate the matter of the "Earth Spirit", and the Star Hunter did win this spot. It's just that the Star Hunter didn't tell the other Star Officers about the person he chose, which means that the Star Hunters only knew that someone was investigating the "Earth Spirit" for the Starlight Tower, but they didn't know who it was.
"There's still something wrong!" Zhuo Qing's train of thought went further, "The only contact between the Star Hunter and Shen Huan is 'Ask Heaven Martial Decision', why would he choose Shen Huan? Does he know that Shen Huan has the Heart Stone? Or does he have other considerations?"
The more Zhuo Qing thought about it, the more puzzled he became, his right hand tightly grasped the edge of the table next to him, and a little flame light lit up in his palm. Zhuo Qing had already made up his mind, as soon as the Flame Star Officer returned, he must immediately ask the Flame Star Officer to verify whether the Star Officers really wanted to find someone to investigate any and all the plans of the Starlight Tower for the Starlight Tower!
