Chapter 227 Unexpected Gain
Whenever I look into a child's eyes, a wonderful feeling surges through me, and I am completely immersed in the vortex of joyful life.
A child's eyes are like water, freely flowing water. In a child's eyes, flowers bloom quietly, then return to stillness, just for a fleeting moment, like a flash of a wave.
"There's definitely something here! What's inside? It catches stones? What's its purpose?" Xu Que asked, puzzled.
Ha Gang and Ping Yao frowned, then bit their fingers and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Are they afraid we'll go down? To cover their tracks? To make us think this hole is unfathomably deep, so we won't dare to go down, or that there's no need for us to go down? Or is there something hidden inside?"
Xu Que was also surprised: "The guys in here are no ordinary people!" After saying that, Xu Que secretly gave Ha Gang and Ping Yao a look.
Ha Gang and Ping Yao quickly understood what Xu Que meant.
He took out the large iron hammer he always carried and stood not far from the hole, waiting for what was inside to jump out so he could make his move.
Xu Que made another gesture, asking Ha Gang and Ping Yao to help him get a few large trees, remove the branches, and insert them into the hole. As Ha Gang and Ping Yao were pushing the trees down, they could clearly feel something pushing against the wood from the bottom of the hole, as if preventing the wood from touching the bottom.
While Xiao Ha was struggling with Pingyao and the thing below the hole, Xu Que activated the fire attribute of the Superman System, and a ball of fire burned towards the bottom of the hole.
As soon as his fire lit up, Xu Que saw the thing below the hole. It was all white, with a large tattoo on its back. It was a roar and a leader's flower pattern, exactly the same as the tattoos on the laborers in the labor camp.
The hole wasn't actually very deep, only about seven or eight meters.
However, the tattooed, animal-like creature inside the hole darted into another opening in the dark cave the moment Xu Que's firelight shone. It entered from the side of the cave.
Ha Gang and Ping Yao successfully threw all the wood to the bottom of the hole.
Xu Que lit another ball of fire, igniting the wood at the bottom of the hole. Then, a gust of wind blew the wood protruding from the bottom of the hole into the other side holes in front of it.
Let the smoke bring out this mysterious, intelligent, and magical creature.
They watched as the wood that Ha Gang and Ping Yao had thrown down into the hole burned to ashes, emitting only tiny wisps of smoke.
The tattooed creature that went in through the side of the hole has disappeared.
"Where did this thing go? Is our fire strong enough? It can't come out even after burning like this? It can withstand so much smoke? Is it an animal? Is it a monster? It seems we need to invite a sorcerer to perform a ritual." Ha Gang and Ping Yao were completely bewildered.
"Ritual my foot! This thing is really powerful! Even we can't do anything about it. A mortal sorcerer who's just trying to cheat and swindle is practically handing this thing a free lunch! Haha, how did you even come up with that idea! If you, Ha Gang and Ping Yao, went to invite sorcerers, not a single one of them would dare to come! Sorcerers these days aren't stupid. Even you, the white giant with superpowers, are helpless against this thing. How could a mortal sorcerer dare to take it on? Haha, unless he's got a death wish!" Xu Que shook his head and laughed as he looked at Ha Gang and Ping Yao.
After calming down and thinking it over carefully, Ha Gang and Ping Yao realized that this was indeed the case. If they were to find a sorcerer, it would be tantamount to sending the sorcerer to his death.
What's in that hole is no ordinary creature; it's highly intelligent and so cunning that it's frightening.
Although Ha Gang and Ping Yao were tall, they still felt a chill run down their spines.
He was still wondering what was in that hole.
Ha Gang and Ping Yao couldn't figure out what kind of animal this was from Earth, no matter how hard they tried.
Ha Gang and Ping Yao were a little angry. They picked up a large iron pestle and slammed it hard on the ground not far from the hole several times.
As he turned around and Xu Que prepared to return to the labor base, colorful patterns resembling roars and leader flowers appeared on the trees, plants, and even rocks nearby.
Ha Gang, Ping Yao, and Xu Que were all startled at the same time: "Huh? His brother's! What is this? When was it engraved? Or did it appear automatically? I remember there was nothing there when we came in just now?! What's going on?"
"In such a short time, who had such fast hands? To make the patterns of the Roar and the Leader Flower appear on everything here, that's amazing! Who on earth could do this? It's so amazing, it's terrifying!" Ha Gang and Ping Yao glanced at Xu Que and muttered to themselves.
"There must be more than one of these things here, right? Otherwise, how did the roar and the leader flower's mark get on these rocks, the ground, the weeds, and the tree trunks in such a short time? Are there many of these things? Just thinking about it gives me the creeps and makes my skin crawl! It makes me feel uncomfortable all over. Will they attack us?" Ha Gang and Ping Yao looked at Xu Que with a hint of fear in their eyes.
"Wow! Ha Gang and Ping Yao, this is the first time I've seen fear in your eyes! Really! I never thought that a mighty giant would be afraid? Hahaha..." Xu Que glanced at Ha Gang and Ping Yao, patted them on the shoulder, and laughed.
"Yes! This is the first time I've ever felt fear in my life. I don't know why, but I feel a fear that's bursting out from the bottom of my heart. I don't even know what I'm afraid of! It feels so strange!" Ha Gang and Ping Yao pounded their chests with their fists.
Xu Que felt that this matter was definitely not that simple, and there must be some unknown secrets involved.
Ha Gang, Pingyao, and Xu Que had only taken a few steps through the grass when they discovered that the grass beneath their feet and the wildflowers around them were covered in tattoos of the leader's flower pattern. Moreover, the grass, trees, and stones seemed to move, creating a sense of dread and paranoia. This kind of environment could easily demoralize someone, causing them to lie down and surrender.
Xu Que glanced at Ha Gang and Ping Yao: "Are they trying to surround us? Hahaha, look at all these weeds and wildflowers, are they trying to trap us? Flowers, do you even know that I, Xu Que, am invulnerable to swords and spears!"
A breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, and Ha Gang and Ping Yao felt their eyelids grow heavy, suddenly feeling incredibly sleepy.
Ha Gang and Ping Yao stood listlessly in front of Xu Que, dozing off, looking very sleepy.
Seeing this, Xu Que immediately activated his electric attribute and read the intentions of those who were trying to attack and surround Ha Gang, Ping Yao, and Xu Que's plants.
Xu Que's powerful electromagnetic waves revealed that these simple-minded plants had been implanted with a special instruction via electromagnetic waves, commanding them to confuse and hypnotize Xu Que, Ha Gang, and Ping Yao.
Xu Que suddenly realized, "So this is how you play with radio waves! Hahaha, watch me implant some fire-breathing stuff into you too. Anything you see with the tattooed roar and leader flower patterns will unleash a fire-breathing attack! We'll swarm and attack until they die!"
After muttering to himself for a while, Xu Que removed the illegal chip implanted in the weeds and rocks. Then he re-implanted his fire-breathing ability.
