In this nervous and uneasy situation, Chen Xiao was relatively calm. Because he knew that the strong aura of Xi Yunting showed that he was definitely not a person who would die early. The magnificent aura was very stable and could last for at least hundreds of years. Chen Xiao was absolutely confident about this. He felt that Xi Yunting must have been delayed by some accident and was unable to come back or send a letter to them.

In this dangerous environment, every second of hesitation could lead to danger. So, at Chen Xiao's suggestion, they moved to an inn where only monks from other places lived. This inn was very cheap because it was aimed at monks who had just arrived in Hanshan City from the other side of the ocean by boat, and practitioners who were temporarily short of funds for various reasons. Of course, due to the price, the living conditions were simple and the service was not very good. At this time, Chen Xiao didn't care about enjoyment at all, and the colder the clerk, the better.

They requested a room for four people, but it didn't have four single beds, but a large bunk bed. There was no other furniture in the room, it was very simple. The four of them sat or stood, Chen Xiao said: "The situation is getting more and more confusing now. Before we get any further news, I think we'd better hide here." Unconsciously, Chen Xiao had the final say, and followed his lead. Originally, Wu Qing should have made the decision in this situation. However, because of the hatred in his heart, he found it difficult to handle things calmly. Subconsciously, everyone felt that if they let Wu Qing make the decision, they might die faster.

Chen Xiao said to Du Rong, "Uncle Rong, please go find out what the background of the person in charge of Zhishitang is and which faction he belongs to. It would be even better if you could know the recent changes in this faction. Also, find out if there was any emergency at this place yesterday. The latter point is just a side note, so don't force it if you can't find out."

Du Rong said solemnly, "Yes, owner."

Wu Qing stood up and said, "I'll go with Monk Du. It's too dangerous for him to go alone."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and then they separated quickly. He nodded and said seriously and solemnly: "Everything is based on your safety. I don't want to hear any more bad news about my own people."

Wu Qing said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will not let anything happen to Monk Du." After saying this, the two of them walked out of the room.

Chen Xiao frowned and watched them walk away before closing the door. Tong Nuonuo had been silent the whole time, and now asked, "Why, are you worried that Wu Qing will act rashly?"

Chen Xiao sighed, "I have to worry. Now that Big Brother is not here, we must be careful. If there is a problem, we will not be able to protect ourselves." Wu Qing's words about arresting the Zhishitang manager and interrogating the mastermind made it impossible for him to forget. It was too desperate.

Tong Nuonuo said: "It's not entirely his fault. Brother Wu Qing joined the team together with his companions who often went through training together. Now only one person is left alive, it's inevitable to feel sad and angry."

Chen Xiao finally realized it and sighed. Then Tong Nuonuo seemed to remember something and took something out of the box. He said, "It's the same if we say we have no ability to protect ourselves. Look--"

Chen Xiao looked over and saw a purple-red ping-pong ball-sized ball, dark and without any reflection. Chen Xiao asked, "What is this?"

Tong Nuonuo's expression was solemn. He said, "This is the most lethal hidden weapon I can make at present. It was inspired by you. I replaced the main ingredient in the formula with the essence of the mineral core. At the same time, I upgraded other auxiliary materials to greatly increase its power. When it hits the target, the energy that bursts out can seriously injure a Jindan-stage cultivator." Chen Xiao took a breath. It can seriously injure a Jindan-stage cultivator. The power is almost the same as the bomb in the previous life.

Tong Nuonuo dug around in the mechanism box again, and found five purple-red balls in front of him. He said, "I used up the essence of the mineral core to make five. Unfortunately, the materials I have can only make so many." This was obviously made by Tong Nuonuo in a day and a night. If he had such a sharp weapon before, he would not have been despised by his teammates.

Chen Xiao was in a mixed mood. He had always known how much Tong Nuonuo treasured these mineral essences and dreamed of using them to improve the research of the mechanism. But now, he took them all out without hesitation and made five disposable bombs. He said slowly: "Nunuo, don't worry. When it's safe in the future, I will definitely make some more for you! Believe me!"

Tong Nuonuo, who had been serious all along, smiled: "Okay, I believe you." He raised the purple-red ball in his hand and said: "I didn't dare to take it out just now, not because I don't trust them. But I'm a little worried that if Brother Wu Qing knows that he has such a lethal hidden weapon, he will want to do something risky this time and endanger everyone."

Chen Xiao nodded: "You are right to worry."

Tong Nuonuo pursed his lips and stuffed one into Chen Xiao's hand. He said, "This is for you, just in case. Although this kind of hidden weapon can only be triggered when it encounters true energy, it can only be used by those above the foundation building stage. However, if you can throw it in front of the opponent at the moment he attacks, it will be directly activated by the enemy's power, causing double damage."

Chen Xiao took the purple ball, feeling heavy inside. Tong Nuonuo had no idea that Chen Xiao now had a talent and vitality that could trigger the power of the ball. He gave it to Chen Xiao because he thought that in times of crisis, Chen Xiao could have someone to take the blame for him so that he wouldn't die in vain.

The atmosphere was so heavy that Chen Xiao couldn't help but jokingly said, "Does your purple ball have a name? I think it's better to call it a bomb, which is quite descriptive."

Tong Nuonuo said: "This thing used to be called Exploding Beans, and it was used by mechanical engineers to drive away wild beasts when they went out for training. When a handful of Exploding Beans were scattered, there would be a loud crackling sound, and the wild beasts would be scared away when they heard it. However, now the effects of the two are completely different, so calling it a bomb is also a good idea."

In other words, this thing was originally just a bean-sized firecracker that only made a loud noise but did no harm. However, Tong Nonuo modified it and turned it into a bomb the size of a ping-pong ball with amazing lethality! Chen Xiao looked at Tong Nonuo in astonishment, and couldn't help but feel a little awed. In a way, Tong Nonuo was also a person with terrible talent.

Tong Nuonuo didn't see Chen Xiao's expression. He lowered his head and stuffed the remaining four back into the box. Without raising his head, he said, "I made five of them. I originally wanted to give one to each of them. I'll give them these when they come back." As he spoke, his hands kept searching. Perhaps because the things were hard to find, Tong Nuonuo's movements became more and more vigorous. Finally, he stood up, bent over, and put his arm in to grope. "Where did you put it?" He muttered, and then his eyes lit up, "Found it!"

He held a folding umbrella in his hand. It was a mixture of metal and wood. The metal part glowed coldly, while the wood part was painted with dark paint, making it shiny and glossy. He squeezed the handle with his fingers, and the position of the umbrella body was like a weapon in a science fiction movie in his previous life, making a slight buzzing sound. Then the umbrella body cracked into two interlaced circles. There was an umbrella rib on each of the 360 ​​degrees of the inner and outer circles.

He put the thing on his arm and aimed forward. Then he said to Chen Xiao: "This is for you. I will teach you how to use it. Just do as I did. Aim forward. See the bulge on the handle? Just use your finger to hook it. Then, a golden aura needle will be ejected from the front, attacking the enemy in front of you without any blind spots. However, due to my lack of ability, it can only kill cultivators, not those above the foundation building stage. However, it should be able to stop cultivators in the foundation building stage a little, so that you can wait for help." Tong Nuonuo didn't say anything else. If there was no help to wait for, he would just throw the bomb out and take the opponent with him to die together.

Tong Nuonuo stuffed the weapon into Chen Xiao's hand. He sighed, looking into the distance in an unknown direction and said, "My research direction is to use the least amount of power from the user to exert the greatest damage. This is a test product made at the beginning of the idea, and it can be used by ordinary people without cultivation. At that time, I thought it would only be put at the bottom of the box, but I didn't expect that I would be able to use it one day. If I had known earlier, I would definitely make it more powerful."

Chen Xiao was holding a bomb in one hand and a weapon more terrifying than a machine gun in the other, and he was already confused. With his limited imagination of the world of immortal cultivation, he originally thought that the mechanical masters in this world were making mechanical traps, wooden oxen and flowing horses, etc. He didn't expect that Tong Nuonuo's position was to manufacture mechanical weapons!

There were only two people waiting in the inn, with nothing to do. Tong Nuonuo took Chen Xiao and taught him how to use this weapon, which he called "not very lethal".

When Du Rong and Wu Qing came back, Chen Xiao was already exhausted and dazed. It was really because of the great excitement.

Chen Xiao wiped his face and asked solemnly: "Du Rong, Wu Xianshi. What did you gain?"

Du Rong had been running around outside all day, and Wu Qing was not fully recovered yet, and he needed to stay alert to avoid being recognized, so both of them were very tired.

Du Rong said: "We have heard that the person in charge of Zhishitang is one of the important members of the city lord's family, Han Yuanchun, the brother of Hanshan City Lord Han Yuanzhi. There is another thing you may not know. At this time, Han Yuanchun and Han Yuanzhi are not in Gengsheng Xiaotian Realm, but have gone to other Zhongtian Realms!"

Chen Xiao was stunned and asked, "Are they not in Gengsheng Small Heaven Realm?"

Wu Qing nodded: "Yes, it is said that the city lord Han Yuanchun took his brother Han Yuanzhi and his sister-in-law to other Zhongtian Realms to seek medical treatment and have a child!"
