"Um."
Black Tiger responded, indicating that he understood.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked Zero:
"Qi Sheng, is he with you?"
"Qi Sheng?"
Zero shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Jiang Quan had somehow joined them, and the three of them sat down on the ground.
The people inside the ventilation duct stared at each other in disbelief.
What's wrong with them?
"I don't know."
"Maybe they were just tired from fighting? (doge)"
"Just you wait and see..."
"Um."
...
"Didn't Qi Sheng leave with you?"
Ling frowned and asked.
Jiang Quan initially said the two of them escaped together, but now Black Tiger has reappeared, while Qi Sheng has vanished without a trace…
Black Tiger shook his head and said:
"No, we escaped together, but we were separated by pursuers. Then I came here. As for him... I don't know anything about him."
"I see..."
Ling nodded, a hint of doubt appearing between his brows.
Jiang Quan exclaimed "Huh?" and asked Black Tiger:
"Are you sure you got separated because you were pursued?"
Seeing the distrust in Jiang Quan's eyes, Black Tiger repeated firmly:
"I'm sure, otherwise we wouldn't have broken up."
"That's strange..."
Jiang Quan muttered something to himself.
"What's wrong?"
Zero and Black Tiger both looked at him with suspicion.
"I didn't send anyone to chase them..."
After saying that, he added:
“Zero Brother, do you remember what I told you back then? I said that they killed a lot of people when they escaped, and I couldn’t possibly send anyone out to chase them… You know, my base only had about fifty people in total before…”
Upon hearing this, Zero nodded.
He was naturally aware of what Jiang Quan was saying.
Jiang Quan can't be lying now, but Black Tiger shouldn't be lying either...
What exactly is the reason...?
After a moment, the three of them said in unison:
"There are others!"
That's right, only people from the other side could do that.
However, whether it is the power of the lower realm humans, the upper realm, or... the demon realm, remains unknown...
Another silence followed.
A moment later, Ling took out several spiritual fruits from his spatial storage and gave them to Jiang Quan and Black Tiger respectively.
"This is……"
Both of them looked curiously at the two bright and juicy fruits in their palms, their surfaces seemingly glowing, wondering what Zero's intentions were.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This is a spiritual fruit. Eating it can quickly restore spiritual energy and is also beneficial for cultivation... I was a little too rough just now, consider this compensation..."
Ling laughed, unaware of the ripples her actions had caused in the hearts of the two.
"The Spirit Fruit...this is the legendary Spirit Fruit!!!"
Black Tiger stared in shock at the fruit in his palm, reaching out to touch it cautiously, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Zero couldn't help but smile helplessly.
The legendary spirit fruit? That can't be that amazing...
You know, he has a ton of them in his storage space! There are even hundreds of them that haven't been picked yet!
If Jiang Quan and Black Tiger knew that there was a spirit fruit garden in Zero Space, they would probably call Zero a monster...
Jiang Quan stared at the fruit in his palm with delight, smiled gratefully at Ling, and said:
"Brother Ling, you don't know, even among the major sects in the Upper Realm, there are at most only one or two spirit fruits. Let alone the ones that are currently in our sight..."
And now!! He has two in his hand!
I was so excited!
Thank you!
Both of them tacitly refrained from asking where Zero came from.
Everyone has their own secrets. Zero giving them such a precious spiritual fruit already shows his trust in them, and they won't try to pry into anything.
"Alright, eat them while they're fresh. You can't eat too many spirit fruits at once, we'll give you more later."
Zero explained softly.
Upon hearing that there were more, both of them were startled and, without further hesitation, put the spiritual fruit into their mouths.
The refreshingly fragrant spiritual fruit is not as crisp as ordinary fruits; it is as smooth as chocolate and melts in your mouth.
The rich and refreshing spiritual energy flowed from their throats to their limbs and bones, and the two felt that the parts of their injuries had recovered considerably.
"Truly worthy of being called a spiritual fruit, the spiritual energy it contains is equivalent to more than a week of our cultivation!"
After finishing all the spiritual fruits, the two of them were still somewhat unsatisfied.
However, they also knew that they couldn't be greedy for things like these that contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The saying "don't bite off more than you can chew" perfectly illustrates this point.
"By the way, Black Tiger, if you're here, then everyone here is safe, right?"
Zero asked.
Black Tiger nodded and said:
“That’s right. Other creatures came by earlier, so everyone hid for safety. We were just about to go out when you arrived…”
The implication is that they are still hiding.
"So you knew in advance that there would be danger, and therefore took precautions?"
"Yes, once any creature approaches the base, an alarm can be triggered from a great distance, giving people time to evacuate."
"That's good."
He nodded at midnight.
In this way, they can learn more information from the people here and also make contact with other bases.
"Let them come out."
"good."
