The two went silent. Suddenly, Jiang Bufan seemed to recall something as he asked Shen Hong, "Oh right, what exactly is going on with the underground castle?"
Shen Hong curled her lips, "Don't ask me. I'm just following orders. If you have any questions, you can ask the City Lord."
"This is the equivalent of slicing on your lips, you're just wasting your breath." Jiang Bufan rolled his eyes.
"Actually, the fact that the castle doesn't belong to us is no longer important. What is important is how we deal with those crawling people." Meng Xiaodie interrupted their argument. He was lost in thought as he looked at the blank wall.
Shen Hong also looked at the wall, sighing softly, "To tell you the truth, the underground area is filled with dangers. Every step is frightening, otherwise, the Mayor wouldn't have let two experts come and help."
"I think he's just going to throw his life away." Jiang Bufan was angry, and every word he spoke was filled with frustration.
Shen Hong ignored him and looked out the window again. A boundless half moon was hidden in the clouds. The night was exceptionally quiet.
"We can't always do this, so let's rest first. Rest well, we still need to buy things and gather people tomorrow, so we need to be prepared to go down there."
Now that the three of them could not be alone in the same room, they were afraid that the Crawlers would appear again and ambush them. They had to stay together and take turns guarding, so that they could take care of each other.
When dawn approached, it was Meng Xiaodie's turn to watch over him. He sat in the middle of the room, completely awake. He slowly circulated his Qi to expel the poison, but felt his Qi and blood weakening, making him dizzy. He thought, could it be that what Sha Tianfeng said was true? The more he operated, the faster the poison would act up?
What kind of poison was this Hundred Blossom Soul Powder? It's poison was so strange. As Miao Renlong used poison, Meng Xiaodie understood that the one who won the most in Miao Jiang was the Gu poison. Shen Hong didn't look like she was from Miao Ren, but rather, she used poison like a flower.
Could it be that the Hundred Blossom Poison was created by taking the venom from a hundred species of flowers? 'Then how can I cure this poison? '
After thinking for a while, Meng Xiaodie still couldn't think of anything she could do. He could only stand up and walk around the room.
At this moment, it was completely silent, only the insects in the grass in the yard were singing softly. Meng Xiaodie looked at the surrounding walls. He seemed to hear some sounds coming from the walls, but when he listened carefully, he could not hear anything.
Damn it, if this continues, I'll be driven crazy. It was the first time that Meng Xiaodie had become restless. She had only been in the Mage City for two or three days, and she had encountered so many strange things. But this time, she was poisoned again, so she had no choice but to do something that was both hopeless and hopeless to him. He knew that he had fallen into a conspiracy, and this conspiracy could also be a plot that shook the heavens. He would be in deep danger, unable to escape, or his death was approaching step by step.
Meng Xiaodie was naturally not afraid of danger or death. He was even curious to open the mystery of this underground castle.
Curiosity was another weakness of Meng Xiaodie. In order to satisfy her curiosity, he was not afraid of putting himself in danger, just like the crawling monster just now. He hoped that once that monster came out, he could have a good fight with it.
Just as he was thinking, the wall suddenly changed. The walls seemed to be rotating, and he felt a wave of dizziness. He quickly sat down. He took a deep breath and prepared to deal with the sudden turn of events. Looking at the walls again, he saw that they did not turn, and he shook his head, thinking, perhaps the poison is acting up, the poison of the Hundred Blossom's venom is sometimes not, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if reminding him not to act rashly.
Meng Xiaodie quieted down. She felt that it was strange. If the poison acted up, why did it come and go so quickly? If the poison had not flared up, could the wall's rotation be true?
It must be a crawling man's doing. Meng Xiaodie intentionally closed her eyes, trying to lure the crawling man out.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and thrusted his sword towards the source of the sound. Although this sword had some power, Meng Xiaodie was not an idiot; with a twist of her wrist, the sword Qi spread everywhere, and the solid wall was like a soft mud, the tip of the sword sinking into the wall, as if there was a suction force that sucked Meng Xiaodie's sword into it.
Meng Xiaodie swept her hand across the wall and cut a hole in it. There was no one crawling inside the wall, but a piece of tree bark fell out. Of course, it was the blood tree bark.
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Bufan and Shen Hong both jumped up at the same time, asking Meng Xiaodie what had happened.
"Look, what is this?" Meng Xiaodie pointed her sword at the blood tree bark.
"A piece of blood bark." Jiang Xian cried out in shock.
"There seems to be some words written on it." Shen Hong glanced at it closely and then recited it out loud, "Your time of death has come."
Shen Hong smiled, "These are all the tricks of an Earth Devil."
"What is an Earth Demon?" Jiang Bufan looked at the blood tree bark with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know, because we've never met." Shen Hong shook his head.
"A crawling person that just appeared is terrifying enough. Now, an Earth Demon has appeared. Looks like I have to bet my life on this expedition."
"Actually, the Earth Devil doesn't want us to go down. This proves that it is afraid of us. Constable Jiang, don't create such a terrifying atmosphere. As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of evil people."
"I am not an evil person. Only those who use poison will have a sinister intention." Jiang Bufan seemed to have a deep grudge against Shen Hong. His harsh words caused Shen Hong's face to change slightly.
"Constable Jiang, Hero Jiang, don't speak such harsh words." she replied.
Seeing the two of them arguing again, Meng Xiaodie smiled coldly. He used his hand to knock on the wall. The wall was solid, was this really the magic of the Earth Devil?
That piece of blood bark only stayed for ten minutes before it started to melt, turning into a pool of darkness …
It was red as blood, and there was a fishy smell to it.
After tossing and turning for a while, the sky started to brighten. Shen Hong yawned and said, "Crawlers can only come out at night. Let's take advantage of this time to get some sleep." As she spoke, she entered her room.
Jiang Bufan watched Shen Hong's back and then looked at the puddle of blood on the ground. He also yawned; he did not return to his room. Instead, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Everything returned to serenity. The silence of the morning was like death. Even the insects' chirping had disappeared. Meng Xiaodie was still interested in the wall. She thought he had seen it a moment ago …
What happened was inconceivable. Did the Earth Devil that Shen Hong spoke of exist? If it didn't exist, then what about the Crawler? If it really did exist, then all the confusion could be easily dispelled.
He kept thinking like this. Before he entered the underground castle, he wanted to know one thing, what was the use of this underground castle, what was Sha Tianfeng's purpose in wanting to use this exploration to get the underground castle, and why was he willing to sacrifice so many of his subordinates?
While Meng Xiaodie was thinking, she suddenly heard Jiang Bufan's scream outside.
