Chapter 80: The Skylark Disappears
In the night, everyone split up and visited one camp after another.
Zhou Xu asked several camps in a row, but there were no earth-based life masters.
In order to prevent omissions, he asked if anyone had a life character suitable for underground exploration, most of them were indifferent, who would tell strangers about their life in detail?
Someone asked Zhou Xu suspiciously, why do you want to find a life master with this kind of life, Zhou Xu can only answer, suspecting that there may be an exit from the ground, and wants to try it.
The identity of the Shadow Saint is sensitive, and the situation underground is unknown, everything is just their guess, and it is best not to let too many people know for the time being, after all, there are many people, and there is chaos.
Hearing that Zhou Xu wanted to find a way out from the ground, the others were immediately surprised.
In the past few days, everyone is looking for a way to leave, and the normal route can't be taken, what about the air? What about underground?
There are more people who think like this.
One camp hit a wall, and Zhou Xu continued on to the next.
Until late at night, he didn't get anything, and then Hu Xinxin hurried over. "Zhou Xu, I've found the person you want!"
Zhou Xu's eyes lit up, and he followed Hu Xinxin, and the two came to the camp of the Demon Capital Master together.
"What's the matter with me?"
The one who meets the requirements is a little fat man, who looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his cultivation is already at the level of the early stage of C-level.
The strength of the Demon Capital's life masters is generally strong, and the little fat man's cultivation is at the end of the Demon Capital Life Division, but in Binhai City's Life Master Academy, the talent is already first-class.
"Hello."
Zhou Xu stepped forward to say hello and introduce himself, and while the two were chatting, he learned that the other party's name was Rong Fang.
"That's right, we think there may be an exit underground, so we want to find a life master with an earth-based life pattern to cooperate, I don't know what you think?" Zhou Xu asked with reservations.
"Underground?"
Rong Fang shook his head violently when he heard this, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes!
The other Demon Capital's life masters also heard it, and sneered: "What you can think of, can't we think of it?" Rong Fang had gone underground yesterday and was almost frightened, there was no exit at all. ”
Zhou Xuyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, has he already investigated?
"Scared? I don't know what's going on? Zhou Xu asked politely.
The masters of the Demon Capital exchanged glances with each other, there was no need to talk about this matter to outsiders, but it was nothing.
"Seeing that you are also from Great Xia, I will tell you the truth. Underneath the ground, all of them are bones, all kinds of bones, many of which don't look like the bones of Blue Star creatures at all! ”
"Think about it, the ground was already out of sight, Rong Fang finally got in, but he got into the bone pit, and the bones were close to his face, can you not be frightened?"
The faces of the Demon Capital Masters showed sympathy when they spoke, and after a day, Rong Fang did not recover from it, like a frightened bird.
After all, when he is young, even adults have to have a numb scalp when they encounter this, let alone him?
"Are they all bones......
Zhou Xu pondered, his [consciousness] could feel the life energy underground, but he couldn't see such things as bones.
There are a large number of bones underground, which actually proves that his guess is right, this place is indeed used by a certain civilization to sacrifice!
Come to think of the bones, it is possible that they are creatures that were sacrificed before!
"What about under the bones? Maybe there's something else down there. Zhou Xu couldn't help but ask Rong Fang.
"I don't know, don't ask me!"
Rong Fang's face was pale, unwilling to think about yesterday's events, and turned his head and ran behind the other Demon Capital Commanders.
"Do you have any eyesight? We're kind enough to tell you what's going on underground, and what else do you motivate him to do? ”
"Let's go! Let's go! Chubby won't work with you! ”
The commanders of the Demon Capital were unhappy and issued an order to expel the guests.
Zhou Xu smiled bitterly, he was a little anxious, it seemed that the shadow of this Rong Fang was very heavy.
It seemed that he couldn't communicate with the other party tonight, so he said sorry and turned to leave.
Finally found the life master of the earth system, the other party has even gone underground, and some have found it, but he can't even communicate, Zhou Xu sighed, a little depressed.
"Does that little fat guy matter?" Hu Xinxin followed Zhou Xu and asked softly.
"It's important, and while there's no evidence yet, I think the safe way out of the tree hole must be hidden underground. We need his life very much, but unfortunately, depending on his mental state, he is not willing to go underground anymore no matter what. ”
Zhou Xuzhi shook his head, "Forget it, I'll find other teams tomorrow to see if there are any suitable people." There is really no suitable one, so talk to the people of the Demon Capital. ”
Zhou Xu pondered, if there was only one choice for Rong Fang, then what should be said still had to be said.
He believed that as long as he told the Demon Master his guess, they would be willing to cooperate.
After all, this day has passed, and the situation of the Demon Capital Masters is not good.
With their persuasion of Rong Fang, maybe he would be willing to try underground again.
Hu Xinxin looked at Zhou Xu's sad appearance, and also thoughtfully.
The two returned to the cabin, and as soon as they returned here, they immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Gao Hongzhen and Liu Heng are also back, everyone's mood is very wrong, but they didn't see the lark!
"Where's the lark?" Zhou Xu's breathing became a little short, and a strong sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
"It's gone, and he's been captured by the black gas." A senior in the inner courtyard said sadly.
Zhou Xu's fists couldn't help clenching, couldn't even the lark's [Cloud Hidden] life not escape death?
Could it be that he was wrong in his previous guess?
The criterion of sacrifice is not the intensity of the vibrations at all?
If it is based on life energy, how can a lark who can hide the fluctuation of his life energy be captured tonight?!
Zhou Xu walked quickly into the darkness, Hu Xinxin saw that he was not in the right mood, and wanted to follow worriedly.
Gao Hongzhen guessed what Zhou Xu wanted to do and stopped Hu Xinxin. "Let him be quiet for a while, don't worry, he'll be fine."
Hu Xinxin could only give up, Zhou Xu came to a remote place alone, and the figure of the shadow saint soon appeared.
"What's going on? Didn't the lark use the hidden veil? When Zhou Xu saw him, he immediately asked with an ugly face.
The Shadow Saint's expression was calm. "He used it, without a moment of carelessness, but the black gas still appeared, and swept him away at once, and it didn't seem to be affected by the hidden veil at all."
"Didn't you try to help him?"
"I didn't have time to make a move."
Zhou Xu was silent, and his mood was terrible!
Compared with Dong Dashu and Yu Jiaojiao, the lark has a closer relationship with him and knows him earlier.
They had already been friends, and now the disappearance of the lark made him panic and feel desperate in his heart.
He thought of the bones that the Demon Capital Masters were talking about, and at this time as they spoke, the lark might have become a sacrifice and a skeleton!
"Damn it!"
Zhou Xu roared, his emotions a little out of control.
"The lark's life grid doesn't work, which means that your previous guess may be wrong. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the underground is still our only hope, how have we found the earth-based destiny master? The Shadow Saint asked nonchalantly, not seeming to have any feelings about the lark's death.
Zhou Xu tried to restrain his emotions, now was not the time to be angry, he told the situation in the Demon Capital camp.
"Is the earth full of bones? Doesn't that just validate your guess? I was scared like that when I saw some bones, this person was too useless. Shadow Saint shook his head.
"Looking at the other party's situation, I am afraid it is not easy to ask him to take us underground in a short time, I will ask other teams tomorrow, maybe there will be a suitable one." Zhou Xu said.
"No need, since you have found it, time waits for no one, just him, I will solve this person's problem." The Shadow Saint said indifferently.
"What are you going to do? He now has serious psychological problems. Zhou Xu frowned slightly.
"Even if he agrees to take us underground, we won't be able to make a mistake when we get down there. Anyway, all we want is his life, his thoughts, and we don't need it. ”
The Shadow Saint said extremely terrifying words in a calm tone, and Zhou Xu's face changed greatly, "Do you want to turn him into a thirteen-year-like look?" ”
"Can't you?" The shadow saint looked at Zhou Xu with a smile.
"Of course not! You're killing innocents, and he's not doing anything wrong! "Zhou Xu is in a hurry.
The Shadow Saint examined Zhou Xu, and the corners of his mouth curled with mockery. "Then let me ask you, is his life important, or is the life of all the life masters in this tree hole important? Time is of the essence, if sacrificing him alone can save everyone, what can't not? ”
"Where can you compare that? Things haven't gotten that far! ”
"Okay, then I'll ask in a different way."
The Shadow Saint's gaze was aggressive, "Your friend Skylark has disappeared now, and according to the law, the longer you are missing, the greater the probability of death." If you procrastinate now, you risk losing your only chance to save him. Is it important to be a stranger who is not mentally qualified and can't get out of the tree hole alive, or is it important for your friends? ”
The question of the Shadow Saint was very realistic and cruel, and Zhou Xu lowered his head when he heard this.
He looked at Zhou Xu playfully, thinking that he would struggle in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhou Xu to raise his head quickly. "If you lose your principles, then no one can save them!"
The Shadow Saint was silent and glanced at Zhou Xu deeply.
He turned and walked into the darkness, and the voice could be heard in the distance. "Then go according to your plan. There may be a choice this time, but one day, you will be faced with a decision that you have to make. ”
Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dispelled the idea of the Shadow Saint for the time being.
The Shadow Saint acts unscrupulously, he has his position, right and wrong are not mentioned for the time being.
But with Zhou Xu's character, he is absolutely unwilling to implicate the innocent.
Zhou Xu returned to the wooden house, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
The number of people in the team became smaller and smaller, and everyone was distracted, and they no longer said anything to encourage each other.
Zhou Xu found that Hu Xin was absent and asked Gao Hongzhen.
"I don't know, she wanted to follow her as soon as you left, but I stopped her, and then she went in the other direction, and she didn't say what to do, I think she might have gone to the toilet." Gao Hongzhen said.
"How long to go to the bathroom?" Zhou Xu was a little suspicious, there were accidents one after another, Hu Xinxin couldn't have any more situations.
After waiting for a while, Hu Xinxin didn't come back, Zhou Xu was not at ease, so he went out to look for it, but he didn't find it.
Until dawn, Hu Xinxin still didn't come back, and Gao Hongzhen was so anxious that he slapped his mouth. "Blame me for being careless, a girl shouldn't have let her run out alone so late!"
