Chapter 130 Leaving the Forbidden Land

Ba didn't find anything special about the bottom, so he replied, "Yes."

And immediately followed the young man into the water.

Tu Xing stopped half a meter above the lake surface and looked carefully. Two golden balls were faintly visible underwater.

He tilted his head slightly: "...Do you think so?"

Ba nodded: "It's very likely. We have to get it out. Do you have the corresponding equipment?"

Tu Xing looked around, not looking for tools, but looking for a suitable place to turn the back-tracking pocket watch.

…

Nearly an hour later, the two men squatted face to face on a flat ground.

On the large lotus leaf in the middle, there are two objects, one large and one small, that resemble Hami melons, with no shine on the surface.

Ba placed his hand three centimeters away from the cantaloupe, as if sensing it.

"Are these two pieces of pure energy, depressions, and fruit-shaped, what you are looking for?"

Tu Xing looked at it for a moment, then picked up the big one and said, "Yes."

He cast an apprentice cleansing spell and began to bite into it without hesitation, just like biting into an ordinary cantaloupe without peeling it.

Halfway through, he looked down at his chest and saw that the black lines were slowly fading away.

Tomoe, who was watching this scene from the opposite side, looked surprised and said, "Sir, why don't you take a little to check the effect first?"

Tu Xing lowered his eyes: "What could be more terrifying than extinction?"

Of course, the reason I say this is actually because I have used a retrospective pocket watch.

When the black lines stopped fading and there was still about 30% left, he sighed softly and took another bite, and the black lines continued to disappear.

Not more, not less, just enough to make everything disappear.

Tu Xing exhaled: "This way it shouldn't disappear, right?"

Ba nodded: "Just look for the black lines, as long as this feature doesn't appear, there's no problem."

Tu Xing's eyes fell on the other small one left in his hand:

"I'm leaving this place tomorrow and heading to a land populated only by ordinary humans. Do you want to come with me?"

"...Wait." Ba was surprised. "Why don't you go see the Lord of Lava Corruption first?"

Suddenly mentioning the random nonsense in front of him, Tu Xing laughed: "No need, I will report alone."

Ba's face was obviously relaxed, and he kept muttering: "This is all human territory..."

"That's fine, but I just don't have the divine power to nourish me."

"For hundreds of years, I've been bound by chains made of special materials that don't contain any divine power. I've long been accustomed to it."

Because of his words, Tu Xing's eyes sparkled as he stared at the air in front of him.

Is there divine power floating everywhere here? Like magical elements?

Tu Xing: "Let's find some more things to replenish our divine power. It's better if we can carry them with us. We may not be able to come here again for a while."

Ba had no objection.

…

There was an empty flat land, the sky was dark, and the clouds were heavy, as if raindrops as big as beans were about to fall at any moment.

On the nearest densely packed tall tree, the young man was lying on the slant of the trunk, with one hand resting on the back of his head and the other hand covering his pocket watch to check the time.

Tu Xing recalled what time it was when he came in.

As he was thinking, a staggering figure appeared in front of him. The young man raised his eyes and saw that it was Evander.

His body was covered in wounds and dirt, and it was obvious that he had been in a very miserable state during the past three days.

Evander stopped somewhere, took out a bandage and wrapped it around his eyes, then put on a hood.

Cursing: "You bastard, you deliberately left me behind. I can't go back. Can I survive here? I'm afraid I'm dead, right?!"

"It's a shame I guess it'll have to happen a few more times... I'll have to drag more people in."

A little further away, Tu Xing thought of something and shifted his gaze to Ba beside him. He took out a transparent cloak and handed it to him.

"Put it on. I have been ordered to hide in the human palace. There are only two of us when we come in. You must remain invisible."

There was a hint of curiosity in Ba's eyes. "Okay—that's interesting. Is there something the master wants there?"

Tu Xing: "Don't ask nonsense. It's not time for you to know yet."

Bali showed an honest expression and said, "Oh oh oh."

Tu Xing got off the ground and walked forward, with his feet about one centimeter above the ground, and stood quietly behind Evander.

And behind Tu Xing, there was an extra shadow.

At this moment, the sky was drizzling with rain, just like the weather when I came in.

A door appeared out of thin air starting from its outline, like a burning flame on paper, and gradually revealed its full shape.

The door slowly opened, and a woman's voice said, "Go forward."

Evander's steps were still unsteady and he was a little weak.

When it was Tu Xing's turn, the woman said, "Adjust your position according to my voice."

Tu Xing immediately stepped to the side and continued to move forward, taking slow steps and lifting his legs as high as possible with each step.

An unnoticed shadow followed closely behind, and the door slowly closed.

Xue Rui: "Take ten steps, then turn right..."

Three or four minutes later, there was the sound of a door closing.

Xue Rui: "Spin in circles until I say stop."

The two of them followed the same steps as when they came in, and no one asked any questions.

"Stop—take off the hood and the bandages."

After this, Xue Rui's voice was filled with joy, "Cyril, did you find it?"

Evander hadn't taken it off yet, and he questioned like a fool, "Are you confused? I'm the only one back, and that pretty boy has already..."

He turned around, took in the sight, and his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

The man with trembling fingers asked: "When did you follow me?"

Tu Xing unpacked two pieces with one hand, his attitude nonchalant: "Not long ago."

Xue Rui walked forward flatteringly, took the unpacked items, and first looked into Tu Xing's eyes.

As they looked at each other, the woman was delighted with what she had discovered, but then her expression suddenly froze.

She wanted to look again, but the young man avoided her gaze.

Tu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the rough wooden box in his hand: "Take me to Lord Celilda first, and we can talk about other things later."

Xue Rui's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something else, but she finally said, "Okay."

The three of them walked out.

Tu Xing felt a piercing gaze that was hard to ignore. He glanced over there and met Evander's eyes, which looked as if he had seen a ghost.

The man lowered his voice and said, "We got separated at that Black Castle. Are you still in the Black Castle?"

This reminded Tu Xing of the dark shadow in the corridor. "Why, did you see anything?"

Evander: "Two people were fighting. One of them was a very powerful black mage. It was very intense."

"I wanted to find another place to rest, but suddenly one side won the fight, and after everyone left, I rested there."

Hearing this, Tu Xing's eyes sparkled. That should be Evander. Due to the angle, they did not meet each other.

"You stayed there all night?"

Evander: "Two nights, and go out looking for things during the day."

He paused, his tone becoming impatient. "I'm asking you, why, after all this talk, I've said everything, and you haven't said anything yet? What's the point?"

Tu Xing: "I passed the castle and went somewhere else. I slept in the tree at night."

As they were talking, several people had already walked into the foul-smelling room.
