After eating the grilled fish, Long Long suggested exploring the island.

Of course, when the little fox was playing in the water at the beach, he had already explored the giant tree thoroughly to make sure there was no danger inside.

In this way, I can safely teach Dragon Fox how to explore the ruins.

"When we come to a strange place, the first thing we have to do is to stay alert," Long Long patiently taught her, "because there may be hidden dangers everywhere."

"For example, hidden enemies, demons, traps... You never know what is waiting for you in the unknown."

"Do you remember the observation method I taught you? You need to use your sight, peripheral vision, and spiritual awareness to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions at all times so as not to miss any movement around you."

"I understand." Longhu said eagerly.

The two came to the roots of the giant Fusang tree, and heard Long Long say again:

"In addition to vigilance, sobriety and rationality are also very important."

"Look up and see what that is."

The dragon fox raised its head obediently, looked at the wooden house looming on the tree branch, and said:

"Is that... a building? Has anyone ever lived here?"

"That's right." Long Long said, "And from the number of buildings, you can estimate the population that once lived here, as well as their form of social organization."

"What is the form of social organization?" the little fox asked curiously.

"It's the relationship between individual members." Long Long explained simply, "For example, if three or four people act together, it may be a temporary team; but if three or four hundred people act together, they are most likely from the same family, sect or alliance."

"I see." Dragon Fox looked up carefully and said, "Then there must have been a family here."

"Why not a sect?" Long Long deliberately tested her.

"Because if it's a sect, they would put the sect's name in the most conspicuous place, right?" Longhu tried to analyze. "A sect needs to absorb new members from the outside world, so it will pay attention to dignity and reputation, but a family will not accept members from outside the family, so it will be relatively low-key, right?"

"Almost." Long Long pointed at the surroundings and continued to ask, "Since you think there was a demon tribe living here, what kind of demon tribe was it?"

"It should be the Feather Tribe." Dragon Fox observed carefully for a moment and replied, "There is no path for walking from the bottom of the giant tree to the top."

"Considering that there must be low-level members in the family who have not yet developed their spiritual intelligence and are unable to fly swords, this kind of environmental design can only mean that this race can fly from birth and does not need to rely on any external objects - that is, the Feathered Clan."

"That's right." Long Long was very satisfied with her intelligence. "I suspect this was once the residence of the Jinwu clan."

"The Golden Crow clan?" Long Hu then remembered that the reason they came here was because they triggered the formation deep in the Fire Yuan Cave.

The necessary items to drive the formation: the Nine Crows Fiery Sun Stone and the Golden Crow True Fire Fan, are obviously closely related to the Golden Crow clan.

"If we know it's the Jinwu clan, we can take targeted precautions." Long Long continued to persuade, saying, "For example, the five elements of the Jinwu clan are fire."

"Then if you haven't come here yet, you can prepare some magic weapons to resist fire in advance."

"I see." Dragon Fox suddenly said, "By the way, my flying sword 'Fire Fox Chant' is also of the fire element."

"If they are both fire-type, then the spoils are more likely to match." Long Long patiently taught her, "For example, the probability of finding fire-type flying swords, magic weapons, and elixirs here is greater than in other places."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they flew their swords over the trees.

"Wow, Longlong." Dragon Fox exclaimed in amazement, "This tree is so big!"

"This is the sacred Fusang tree." Long Long said with his hands behind his back, "It is isolated overseas, so far away from the sky. I never thought I would see it here."

"How do you know?" the little fox asked, half in surprise and half in admiration.

"Of course..." Long Long was suddenly stuck.

Of course, this conclusion was reached based on the knowledge of Luo Yan and others, as well as some clues obtained from prior exploration of this place.

If it were Xu Yinglian or Shi Liuli, this would be a huge flaw that would definitely arouse their suspicion.

But the little fox... just fool around.

"Of course, you won't understand even if I tell you." Long Long shook his bangs arrogantly and said calmly.

Long Hu puffed up her cheeks, but she also knew that no matter how much she pressed, Long Long would not tell her. He might even laugh at her for being ignorant... So she could only hold back her anger and grit her teeth secretly.

The two passed through layers of treetops and soon arrived in front of the largest building.

This building is more than ten meters high and six meters wide, majestic and spectacular. The back half is embedded in the sacred Fusang tree, while the front half protrudes out of it, with reliefs of various patterns engraved on it.

The dragon fox looked closely and saw divine birds with gorgeous feathers, ferocious and terrifying divine dragons, and endless flames and tides, which were eroding, wrestling and confronting each other.

"This should be the meeting hall." Long Long said, "Whether it is a family or a sect, there will basically be such a place for sacrificial ceremonies, receiving foreign guests or organizing gatherings."

"Of course, it's unlikely that there are any treasures in there."

The two walked into the main hall, and just as Long Long said, although the interior of the family meeting hall was magnificent, it was empty.

"Generally speaking, the building we are looking for is the treasure room." Long Long continued, "The treasure room is where the clan's cultivation supplies are stored, and it is also the place most worth exploring."

"If the original demon tribe here abandoned this place in a hurry, then the probability of there being high-value treasures in the treasure room would be very high; but if they evacuated in an orderly manner, then it is unlikely that there will be good things in the treasure room. In an extreme case, there is even the possibility that there is nothing in the treasure room."

"Of course, if there are high-value treasures, there will often be traps outside to guard them; on the contrary, if there is no obstruction all the way, then there is a high probability that the place is empty."

"Like this?" asked Longhu.

"Yes, that's it." Long Long replied.

The two stood at the door of the treasure room and saw rows of shelves inside, all empty.

This was not surprising, of course, because Long Long had already explored this place in advance to ensure that there were no remnants.

After all, if there really was some dangerous magic weapon, the little fox was inexperienced and wouldn’t be able to control herself after seeing it!

Seeing that there was really nothing inside, Longhu showed obvious frustration, and the fox ears in his bun drooped down.

"How boring." She said unhappily, taking out the Golden Crow True Fire Fan. "Can't there be a hidden secret room? Like the archway in the Fire Element Cave before, hidden in the rock wall, which must be opened through special means?"

"Of course not." Long Long smiled and comforted her, "How can there be a secret room that can be opened by the Golden Crow True Fire Fan... huh?"

Before he could finish his words, the three immortal seals on the handle of the Golden Crow True Fire Fan in the little fox's hand suddenly lit up.

At the same time, the wall of the treasure room opposite the gate quickly became translucent and then disappeared quickly, revealing the hidden secret room inside.

Long Long: ...

"How is it?" Longhu smiled proudly and playfully, and tilted his head to look at Longlong as if showing off.

Long Long was silent for a long time, and finally realized the problem here:

This Golden Crow True Fire Fan is obviously a very valuable item passed down from generation to generation in the Golden Crow clan. It might be a symbol of power passed down by successive clan leaders.

Therefore, the formation used for long-distance transmission between the two places used the Golden Crow True Fire Fan as the key, which means that only the clan leader can open the formation.

Then, isn't it natural that the secret treasure house of the family can only be opened by the patriarch who holds this fan?

After thinking about the key, Long Long sighed in disappointment and said:

"A Jing, you and I also checked this place beforehand. It's fine if I didn't find it, but why didn't you find it either?"

"Wow, you can blame me for this!" Kunlun Jing said indignantly, "You didn't ask me to scan here, how would I know there is a hidden room inside?"

"You still dare to quibble, you broken mirror! Isn't it your job to check for leaks and fill in the gaps?" Long Long shamelessly quibbled, "Now I'm embarrassed in front of the little fox, just tell me what to do!"

"Can't you be more sincere and less calculating towards her?" Kunlun Jing said in a complicated tone, "Your character is not invincible, so why do you have to cling to these illusory faces?"

"You don't understand, A Jing!" Long Long said bitterly, "My persistent personality is to establish a tall, handsome and omniscient image in front of Long Hu! Only when she worships and obeys me wholeheartedly can I do whatever I want to her, and finally have the opportunity to covet the fragment of the Tianshi stone she wears!"

"...I think the image of you in her heart has never been established from the beginning."
