"The four of you are people who are useful to all four families." The fifth child whispered to me.

“OK!” I shook my somewhat confused head, feeling like I had just heard a magical fantasy story. But I myself know that this story is indeed true, because there is no need for Lao Wu to lie to me at this moment.

"So that means that the places we go to are all places where the Wansheng Stone is likely to appear, and as for the search for the missing scientists or the search for those who were killed, it is all a lie?" I asked.

"No, it's not a lie." Lao Wu shook his head, "Every place you go to is indeed to save people, but the purpose of my visit is different from yours, I am to find clues to the Wansheng Stone." ”

I sighed deeply, relieved myself, and continued to ask Lao Wudao, "Then can you tell me, where is the Wansheng Stone now?" ”

"I don't know, and no one knows. Because in this world, not only human beings want to get the Wansheng Stone, but everything in the world wants to get it. Humans are not the only ones in nature who are intelligent. You think, when a monkey has lived for more than a thousand years, it is not necessarily stupider than a human, it also wants to take that stone for itself, all things in the world as long as there are creatures that have a certain relationship with the Wansheng Stone want to possess it, so the Wansheng Stone is difficult to find, maybe we will not find it in this life. Lao Wu said with some disappointment.

"We've come all the way to this snowy mountain, and now we're trapped in an ice cellar, do you want to tell me that we've come so far to the fuck just looking for clues that we can't be sure of?" I asked, a little angrily.

"Tokuko!" Lao Wu suddenly stood up and said very seriously, "It's not like this, where we usually come, there are almost countless 'seniors' in front of us, and it's only because there are difficulties that they can't solve within their ability, so you will come!" ”

"Oh, yes!" I asked, a little sarcastically. "This mission is nothing more than a futile effort!"

"No, this mission is no longer the case!" The fifth brother replied.

Lao Wu slowed down and continued, "Your previous mission to the Great Tiankeng should have intersected with people from other families, although it was not explained in your mission briefing, there are almost no secrets between the four major families. ”

"You know the person from the Wang family we met last time in the Grand Canyon, in fact, I have known her for a long time, but she doesn't know me!" Lao Wu said.

"According to what you said, the last time the Grand Canyon happened, you knew that the Wang family was going, so you went right?

"Yes, I told you that there are no secrets in the four major families! Because the clues about the power stone in the Grand Canyon were revealed to us by the Wang family, but we were still a step late and were preempted by the Zhao family! Lao Wu said.

"In that case, I will also tell you that we met a person named Xiao Fan in the sinkhole this time, and his name is Fan Qunping! He seems to have gotten separated from his own team, and then stole a memory card from an expedition from us! I honestly reported.

"Xiao Fan? Hahaha! Lao Wu suddenly laughed, "He asked you to call him that, this old disrespectful guy, do you know how old that guy is?" ”

"How old?"

"At least a hundred years old!" Lao Wu said.

"How is this possible, he looks like he's only in his thirties!"

"This is the magic of the Gu Cultivation Project!" Lao Wu said.

"He's also the one involved in the Gu Cultivation Project?" I was surprised.

"Well, it's just that he chose to return to the family at that time, he is now the main backbone of the Fan family, or maybe the leader of the Fan family, they already know our every move, so we are very likely to meet him on this trip to the Snow Mountain, so we must finish it before them!" Lao Wu said.

"You just said that there are no secrets between the four major families, did he tell you that we met?" I didn't wonder what happened after we met Xiao Fan when I met Lao Wu.

I suddenly remembered Xiao Fan who suddenly appeared in the sinkhole, could it be that Xiao Fan is our 'enemy'? Lao Wu just said that our mission has been leaked, but none of the four of us mentioned Xiao Fan in the mission briefing, and more importantly, there are only four of us left alive except Xiao Fan from the sinkhole, who betrayed us except him?

Lao Wu smiled, "The four major families have me and me, and I have you, and they have already infiltrated each other!" What else do you have to ask? That ice centipede is still guarding us outside! "Lao Wu's words pulled me back to reality.

I followed the words of the fifth child and went through it in my mind, and the general process was clear, but some details were still not connected, and there were many things I wanted to know for a while. I, Quanzi, Ah Fang, and Ai Qin knew almost nothing about the so-called Wansheng Stone and the Gu Cultivation Project before. If it weren't for the last time we met that crazy old patriarch, the four of us would have thought that we were searching for those who had disappeared in the wild, doing the duty of a warrior.

After listening to Lao Wu's words, I instantly felt a pale and powerless sense of betrayal, always thinking that I was doing a good thing to serve the people, although I am not a professional soldier, although I am not defending the country, but we are also helping some people.

Now that I know the essence of the matter, to put it bluntly, we are now in a private organization that the world has no idea of existing, and what is even more bloody is that we don't even know the bullshit of this so-called organization. Even if I know my situation at the moment, I can't do anything about it, because the things I carry far exceed my expectations. I don't think I will be able to solve the secret of the Wansheng Stone until I die, and I won't be able to encounter it even until I die.

On second thought: the Wansheng Stone is real, and I don't need to argue this point again. For everything in the Wansheng Stone, I now regard myself as a passerby, I am not Superman or Ultraman, just an ordinary person of flesh and blood, and now this happened to happen to me, I should naturally let it have an end. Whether the Wansheng Stone ultimately exists or is destroyed should be in the hands of us humans. If the Wansheng Stone is really as magical as the legend, I can't imagine what the wild boar in the Grand Canyon or the ugly monkey will look like after the Wansheng Stone... But there are too many questions about Wansheng Stone, but I know that Lao Wu's understanding of Wansheng Stone is actually about the same as the four of us, after all, at his level, the people above will not let him know more.

I said to the fifth, "Let's wait until I think of something, now let's think about how to get out of here?" ”

Lao Wu grabbed me and said, "You must not tell anyone the secret of the Gu Raising Plan, including the three of them. ”

"Why?"

"There will be a day when the secret will be revealed, and you will remember my words!"

I pulled Lao Wu's hand down from my sleeve and said, "Why, do you have to hide these secrets from our brothers who were born and died together?" Let me follow your example and be an actor forever? ”

Lao Wu said, "You know I didn't mean that, I just want to protect you." ”

"Protect us?" I asked, a little surprised.

"The Gu Raising Plan is not just as simple as I told you, it is a big plan involving the core secrets of the four major families and implicating hundreds of people, although it is no longer a secret within the four families, but the people involved in the major families are only known to themselves. Think about it, what would happen if you were one of the big families and knew that the other party had more power than you? ”

"Extinguished?"

"Yes, get rid of them!" Lao Wu said coldly.

"That is, if your Chen family knew the power of the other families' Gu cultivation plans, you would also get rid of them, right?"

"Maybe, I don't know! Or maybe I'm wrong, the four great families may be open to each other, but once this secret is revealed about the power of the Outer Exploration of the Ten Thousand Life Stones, the world will probably be in chaos! ”

"Come on, the Gu Cultivation Plan is a fantasy for outsiders! No one will pay attention to us. "I laughed at the old five's unfounded worries.

Lao Wu looked worried, "You are wrong, the people who have participated in the Gu Cultivation Plan or any part of the Gu Cultivation Plan are treasures whether they are to the four major families or all the forces involved in the Wansheng Stone." As I told you before, there is another group of people, and there is more than one organization of other people, and the other group is a very powerful force, they are all over different countries and different regions, and it is impossible for them to keep anyone in the Gu Cultivation Project alive. ”

"So even if we leave the organization in the future, we're going to die?" I asked.

"Of course, I don't want to lie to you about that. I am also very clear to tell you now, as long as you know the Wansheng Stone, whether you participate in it or not, you will not be able to escape its spell for the rest of your life, you will live for it and die for it. ”

My heart was beating faster, and my heart was constantly struggling. What does Lao Wu want to express when he says such a thing?

I changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go out and talk about it." ”

Lao Wu raised his head and said with a smile, "It's not like we can go out if we want to, you have to ask it if you want to let us go out first?" ”

I looked up and saw a behemoth appear above our heads. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be the ice centipede that was still swimming outside the ice wall. The ice centipede hovered above the ice cellar, and from time to time it stretched out its head to look at me and the fifth child, and from its leisurely posture, it was probably thinking about how to eat us.

Judging from the previous experience of dealing with those big guys, these guys have a certain IQ, and they can't just deal with things simply. But what is more troublesome now is that Lao Wu and I are in this small ice cellar, with an area of less than twenty square meters, and once the centipede comes down, Lao Wu and I don't even have a place to cover. What's even more terrifying is that most of the part of this ice cellar is made of ice and snow accumulation, and once there is any big movement and sound, the ice and snow walls will immediately collapse, and once buried in it, Lao Wu and I will suffer.

The fifth child made a gesture to me to separate the sides, although at this moment I already knew the identity and purpose of the fifth child, but at this moment, I nodded and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have that stick?" ”

"No, just bring one!" After the fifth child finished speaking, the cat got into an ice nest next to him, then put the gun behind his back, took out his saber, and whispered to me, "Hey, if it comes down, you lure it over, we can't use a gun, I'm afraid the ice wall will collapse." ”
