Chapter 258
With Ling Beile leading the way, Hu Shiqi didn't call Karachi this time, but she brought Xiao Mie with her, ready to let her orange see the world.
Soon, the two spent money to take the teleportation array, went directly to Huangyou Province, and landed in an extremely prosperous metropolis.
There were bright lights and people coming and going.
Ling Beile stood under the street light and looked around.
"This place has become like this..."
He looked up at the towering building beside him, with some emotion in his tone.
Hu Shiqi also looked up and saw a bank opposite, with a money truck parked in front of the door.
"He put the treasure in the bank's safe? This is too modern, I thought it would be buried in the ground."
After all, it's an antique.
Hu Shiqi looked at the ring on his hand.
"No, this is not a treasure hiding place."
Ling Beile looked at her strangely.
"This is my hometown, it used to be a huge cemetery."
Cemetery? Hu Shiqi was silent. This is really the suffering she has never experienced before. Fortunately, she did not travel back to ancient times...
"Forget it. I wanted to help you catch a ghost, but now it seems that there is no chance."
Ling Beile turned around.
A long time ago, this was a very famous gathering place for ghosts, and his first contractor, the current Thousand Hands Ghost Emperor, was also born here.
"Is the ghost beast pet really not the soul of the dead?"
Although Fox Seven did not want a ghost beast pet, she was very curious about creatures like "ghosts".
"The textbook says that ghosts are the consciousness of the dead, not the dead themselves. Is it true?"
"It's true."
Ling Beile answered with a faint expression, perhaps because the topic of death was too serious, and it was rare to look serious.
"When a person dies, he is dead. The body will rot and the consciousness will dissipate. Only the energy will remain in place, bound by something to get a new life... That is a ghost."
"Then are you afraid of death?"
Fox Seven asked boldly.
Ling Beile tilted his head to look at her, and after a few seconds, the corner of his mouth tilted, as if he found it very funny.
"I don't know, maybe I won't know until I'm about to die. But if you mean 'afraid of death' like Lao Xu... then I shouldn't be. Aren't you afraid of death?"
"How is it possible?!" Hu Shiqi quickly denied it. This was not the time to show off. "I'm quite scared!"
"That's good, you must keep it up. Fear of death is also a virtue."
After saying that, Ling Beile snapped his fingers.
Hu Shiqi subconsciously shrank, but was firmly grasped by an invisible big hand. Then, she felt suffocated and bumpy at the same time. It was the familiar space transfer, but this feeling - definitely downward!
After a long dozen seconds, Hu Shiqi fell into a piece of gravel, and her eyes were dark.
The air was cold and damp, filled with the smell of decay.
"Is there air here?"
Ling Beile was right behind him, and Hu Shiqi turned around and asked him in the dark, because he smelled of laundry detergent, which was very abrupt in the turbidity.
"Oxygen? Yes, there must be."
Ling Beile's tone was not very sure, and his voice echoed in the valley, which was more creepy than the cry of a ghost.
"I don't want to disturb the guardian beasts here. Can I release Perfection? Or can I only go in by myself?" Hu Shiqi rubbed his eyes and asked.
Her perception failed, and her mental power seemed to be trapped in her body and could not be released outside. But there was also good news. Her eyes quickly adapted to the darkness and gradually saw what was in front of her: a heavy stone door.
"Okay, it's up to you." Ling Beile stood behind and didn't move, "Do you want to go in by yourself, or do you need me to accompany you?"
"Please accompany me," Hu Shiqi also stood still, respectfully. "Without you, I can't move a step."
Life is precious. She is just a baby and doesn't want to challenge the defense system of the nine-star boss at all... Let the eight-star blood cow go ahead.
"Huh?" Ling Beile's tone rose, sounding in a good mood, "Aren't you afraid that I will rob the things and run away?"
"Look at what you said, just pick and choose, take whatever you like, don't be polite to me."
Hu Shiqi waved his hand, bold and never fake.
Ling Beile at most likes rare treasures, but she is different. She only wants money and energy stones. Even if she is given treasures, she can't keep them - especially those treasures that the eight-star boss envy.
If people want to live, they must have self-knowledge.
For example, don't cross the road, don't touch the power supply with water on your hands, and don't take treasures that you can't keep.
Hu Shiqi thinks he is still a normal person.
There was a groove on the heavy stone door, which faintly emitted a secret attraction. Kitsune Shichi walked over and put his hand on it.He pushed the door open easily.
So easy... as if he pushed open a paper door.
And Ling Beile really followed behind, sighing: "Alas~ Since you are not afraid of me stealing, then I will accompany you in~"
Kouya Qi rolled his eyes:... Stealing and robbing, it can be seen that this guy is really not a good person.
Behind the door is a wide cave corridor, dark and misty, as if you can hear distant sighs.
Da, Da, Da.
Footsteps and breathing echoed.
Kouya Qi walked in front, and after a few steps, she silently fell behind Ling Beile - as if she was holding a shield, as long as someone took a left foot, she would never take a right foot.
Ling Beile tilted his head and glanced at her, as if he smiled, but he did not expose her.
The two walked about a few dozen steps and there was a fork in the road. Ling Beile turned left directly, and Kouya Qi also turned left, but she still looked in the direction of going straight.
There was another stone door on the opposite side, but this time there were a few more patterns on the door.
Biting off more than you can chew. Without hesitation, Kitsune Shichi followed Ling Beile and plunged into the barrier on the left... It was probably a barrier, but she didn't feel any resistance.
"What is this? A garden in a cave?"
Even though she was prepared, Kitsune Shichi was startled by the sudden glare. What she saw was a small courtyard full of golden trees. The sky was extremely high and the top was invisible. It didn't look like she was in a cave at all.
"It's a golden mantis tree."
Ling Beile suddenly realized, "I haven't seen it for almost two thousand years. I thought it was extinct. Do you want to go and see it? If you cultivate it well, it can scare people to death when you take it out to fight."
What the hell? Kitsune Shichi was stunned for a moment. Being evaluated by Ling Beile as "scaring people to death in a fight"? How powerful are these trees?
Then, as she got closer, she discovered that these trees... No, it should be the leaves on these trees - each golden leaf is a small mantis, and its eyeballs are still gently turning!
Hu Shiqi immediately got goosebumps all over the floor.
"Can I touch this?" She turned to ask Ling Beile, there was no way, although she was a little scared, she was still curious.
Ling Beile shrugged, walked over, stood side by side with her, and reached out to touch the gilded tree trunk.
"The layer you see is the shell of the old and dead golden mantis tree, and the real mantis seedling is still young."
As he touched it, the golden tree trunk shook, and it turned into ashes and disappeared, leaving only a finger-sized golden branch in the original place, with thin and long leaves, like the wings of a mantis.
Hu Shiqi squatted down and touched it, a wood-type beast pet, the qualification is red... The qualification is actually emperor-level!
"Do you know? A long time ago, humans had an army, but since the appearance of the beastmaster, the army has been abolished."
Ling Beile touched his chin with a nostalgic expression.
"The golden mantis tree is the new army cultivated by the old man. One mantis tree can hatch 30,000 mantis leaves, which rush out in a black mass... The enemy's mood can be imagined."
"Fuck, that's simply not human!"
Kitsune Shichi imagined the scene and instantly retreated more than ten meters, but after a few seconds, she still followed her inner greed and touched these dozens of trees one by one.
Very good, no god level.
What's the matter with this faint relief and sadness?
"Don't want it? Let's go, there's more behind."
Ling Beile walked out. He was not interested in the mantis tree either. And he didn't have a contract position now.
"There are 9 doors in total, you can open 4 now, but you are so picky, you may not be able to find what you like."
"Can I take them out to sell?"
Fox Shichi followed behind, looking back every ten steps.
Ling Beile: "...I suggest you not to, even if you take it out to exchange for something with someone, it is better than selling it."
"Oh! Then wait! I will be back soon!"
Fox Shichi rushed back again after hearing this, and pulled out a small golden sapling and put it in his arms-
This is a high-end beast pet that is about to become extinct! If it is exaggerated, it would be a 100,000-man army! Maybe she can get a mine back...
Ling Beile: "..."
There is no way, he can only roll his eyes and pretend not to see it. Anyway, it is not his business.
Fox Shichi is excited: "Let's go! The next door!"
