Chapter 255: 255: An Unintentional Discovery
He wasn’t actually planning to run away, in fact, as he passed a certain stretch of road earlier, the two “big daddies” in his storage space suddenly shook.
Normally the two big daddies only react during meal times, so their sudden shaking naturally made Jiang Xiaobai suspect something about that place.
However, because he was on the move and didn’t want to expose anything, he waited until he had a chance to escape and go check it out.
He didn’t expect that the opportunity would come due to a pack of rabid dogs.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai rushed back to where he had noticed the problem, immediately took out the two big daddies and didn’t even need to investigate himself, Yuanhong was the first to react.
The sharp blade of the sword directly split a pillar nearby, and a hole appeared in the middle, and underneath, it was hollow!
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, indeed, in critical times it’s the two big daddies’ operation that counts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t hesitate and went in with the two big daddies. The space inside was huge, like a cave, with many twinkling lights.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Xiaobai realized that these twinkling lights were coming directly from the stone wall. If you approach, you can clearly see glowing, flickering objects within the stones. It was quite peculiar.
Although the light was dim, it was enough to see the bare interior of the cavern.
At this moment, Yuanhong suddenly hovered in mid-air and slowly drifted toward the passage in front, and the Qibao Pagoda followed leisurely behind.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t think too much, and just followed along.
As he walked, he realized something was amiss. He was heading toward the deadly marsh. He was taken aback.
Indeed, there was another way to get there, but he was very curious about how the two big daddies knew about it?
But just then, a purple glow suddenly appeared in front, and the two big daddies hovered motionless in mid-air.
As he approached, Jiang Xiaobai saw that the purple glow was a thumb-sized fragment.
“This is… a fragment of a Sky Spirit treasure?” exclaimed Jiang Xiaobai.
He immediately held the fragment. Although he didn’t sense any aura of the Sky Spirit, his two big daddies were informing him that it was indeed a Sky Spirit fragment.
“Can you two consume it?” Jiang Xiaobai asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yuanhong’s response was affirmative, though they hadn’t unsealed much of their own nature yet, so they couldn’t absorb the fragment.
“What, are you saying, the formation of the Mad Demon Valley and even the Mad Demon Secret Land are all related to this Sky Spirit fragment?”
Upon receiving the message from Qibao Pagoda, Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed in astonishment.
While others may not know, Jiang Xiaobai, who possessed the Sky Spirit, understood it better than anyone else. Anything related to the Sky Spirit was a huge chance!
If so, coming to the Mad Demon Secret Land was the right decision!
“I never expected to accidentally find another way to the deadly marsh.” Jiang Xiaobai, after placing the fragment into his storage space, smiled and looked at the passage ahead.
This passage was naturally formed and hidden beneath the rock forest. Without the assistance of the two big daddies, he might not have found this way.
Though the passage led to the marsh, Jiang Xiaobai was uncertain if it was safe, so he decided to go check it out.
As he went along, the terrain of the tunnel kept getting higher, and finally, at the end, he found out that it was actually a mountain cave.
And outside the cave was a small hillock.
“It’s true!” For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed, and without a second word, he rushed back.
After a while, Jiang Xiaobai returned to the gathering spot. By this time, the crowd was getting restless, not wanting to waste more time.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai return, Xiao Yuwei sneered, “Well, did you find another way?”
In her opinion, Jiang Xiaobai’s idea was simply ludicrous. Without three days’ time, they wouldn’t find another way to the marsh.
It was just wishful thinking.
“Seeing as you don’t believe me, let’s forget about it then, and keep waiting around here.” Jiang Xiaobai shrugged.
At these words, Xiao Yuwei was stunned, she hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s collar: “Did you find another way?”
“Show me the money. Give me the money and I will tell you.” Jiang Xiaobai, looking nonchalant, really got under Xiao Yuwei’s skin.
“Money, money, money, is that all you think about? Have you fallen into a money pit or something?”
Despite grinding her teeth, Xiao Yuwei flung a storage ring filled with ten million top-grade spirit stones at him.
Getting the money, Jiang Xiaobai burst into laughter.
He didn’t really want the money, he was just telling Xiao Yuwei that he, Jiang Xiaobai, wasn’t her lapdog!
“Not bad, at least you know what’s good for you.”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly: “I just found an underground passage, which can bypass the rabid dogs ahead. Impressive, isn’t it?”
As these words came out, a shock ran through the group.
They looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if they had seen a ghost!
It should be known that back then, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty and various forces had joined hands to explore the Mad Demon Valley, using an immense amount of time and the lives of countless experts, barely finding a way.
But now, Jiang Xiaobai had been gone only a short while, and he had found an exit?
Xiao Yuwei saw Jiang Xiaobai in a new light.
“Hmph, even though you’re quite the instigator, you’re also quite capable. You do have some use.” Xiao Yuwei said, already standing up: “What are we waiting for? Let’s go.”
“Just like that? Not going to tell the others?” Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly.
“Do you think I’m stupid? With this first-come-first-serve opportunity, I’m going to tell them?”
Xiao Yuwei sneered, “I suggest you don’t entertain these stupid thoughts. Your extortion skills may be good, but have you ever considered, if these people were determined to deal with you, force you to tell the way, and then kill you, would you be able to resist?”
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged and said nothing. His earlier words were just to make Xiao Yuwei uncomfortable.
Truth be told, he was indeed considering revealing the path to everyone so that everyone would have to compete on the same starting line, truly disgusting Xiao Yuwei.
He certainly hadn’t given up on getting back at Xiao Yuwei.
With that, the group stood up quietly and started walking in the opposite direction.
At the same time, a pair of eyes not far away turned toward them. When Zhuang Huanling saw the figures of one fat and one thin person, he narrowed his eyes.
