"What?"
Hearing Wang Pingbei's shout, Xiao Chen looked over.
"It looks like...stone? But it doesn't look like it."
Wang Pingbei looked around.
Xiao Chen walked closer and saw clearly what Wang Pingbei was talking about. It was green in color, like tiles, one piece at a time.
"The ground is still wet. What's going on?"
Wang Pingbei has made another new discovery.
Xiao Chen said nothing, looking at it carefully, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.
Could this... be a shell?
"That little snake, just hatched from its shell?"
Xiao Chen had a strange look on his face as he thought about it.
Is it that big right after it hatched?
But when I think about its mother, that giant snake with a head as big as a mountain, it seems very normal.
"This little snake has just hatched, and the big snake is protecting it..."
Xiao Chen felt that this guess should be correct.
Otherwise, it is hard to explain why the snake did not attack!
It’s hard to explain the eggshell in front of me!
"Hey, I feel like this thing looks familiar..."
Wang Pingbei is still studying it.
Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Pingbei. With that IQ, how did he become the prodigy of Qingyun Tower?
But think about it again, if the geniuses of Qingyun Tower all have such an IQ, then what is there to be afraid of?
"Are there chickens in the outer world?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Ah? Yes."
Wang Pingbei was stunned and nodded.
"Do you usually eat eggs?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Eat."
Wang Pingbei was even more confused. Why were they talking about eggs for no reason?
"Look at it, does it look like an eggshell? For example... a snake eggshell."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"eggshell?"
Wang Pingbei was stunned, looked around for a few seconds, and then his eyes widened.
"You mean, this is a snake egg?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, he wasn't that stupid yet.
"Snake eggs...was that big snake just born?"
Wang Pingbei's face was dull.
"When he was born, he was that big?"
“…”
Xiao Chen felt that he could take back his previous thoughts. He was so stupid.
But thinking about it again, Wang Pingbei seemed not to have seen the little snake, so he no longer despised it.
"The big snake is here to protect this egg... Its child is born. Because of this, it didn't attack us, fearing that we would hurt its child."
Xiao Chen explained.
"Its child...with its strength, can we harm its child?"
Wang Pingbei suddenly realized, but was still a little confused.
Just now they saw a big snake, but they didn't have the courage to fight it, so they just fled.
"As a mother, she will not allow her child to be at risk..."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"You haven't been a parent, so you can't understand this feeling."
"You have a child?"
Wang Pingbei was curious.
“…”
Xiao Chen remained silent.
"So, this isn't a snake den?"
Wang Pingbei took a deep breath.
"It's good that it's not a snake cave, otherwise we would both be dead."
"Although it's not a snake cave, it shouldn't be too far from one... That big snake must be unusual. It might really be the king of the snake cave. As for why it came out to hatch little snakes, I don't know."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"The legend only says that the snake cave is dangerous, but it doesn't say what opportunities there are?"
"I haven't heard of it. Why, if there is a chance, do you still plan to go?"
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"That depends on what kind of opportunity it is. If it's a great opportunity, it wouldn't hurt to go there..."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"You know there is a tiger in the mountain, no, you know there is a snake in the cave, but you go to the snake cave."
Wang Pingbei smacked his lips.
"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get out?"
"I'm afraid, but I have to fight... You are a genius from a powerful country. You have never lacked opportunities since childhood. You don't have to risk your life. We are different. If we want to become stronger, we can only fight with our lives."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
“…”
Wang Pingbei was slightly shocked. It was hard to imagine how many times he had risked his life to have such strength.
"This eggshell might be useful, let's keep it for now."
Xiao Chen looked at the pieces of eggshells and put them into the bone ring.
"What good are eggshells..."
Wang Pingbei couldn't figure it out, but thinking about the fact that Xiao Chen came from the "poor" mother world, he had some understanding. At the same time... he inexplicably felt a sense of superiority.
The mother world is a lower world. The people there have never seen anything good, so they think everything is good.
After Xiao Chen put away the eggshell, he looked around, and after making sure that nothing was there, he flew into the air.
"Wait for me."
Wang Pingbei shouted and flew after him.
In the bone ring, the drunken Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root saw the eggshell and his eyes widened.
It sensed an unusual smell and sobered up a little.
It looked around for a few times, and after making sure there was no danger, it walked forward and touched it gently.
A relatively large eggshell, rocked gently, acts like a cradle.
"@#%..."
Seeing this, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root's eyes lit up, and he lay down directly, crossed his legs, and swayed...
Xiao Chen entered the bone ring and happened to see this scene. He couldn't help but be speechless.
"This little guy can play with everything?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, did not disturb the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and withdrew from the bone ring.
"Xiao Chen, I think we should leave as soon as possible. You just said that this place might not be far from the snake cave. If we run into that big snake again, it won't let us go if the little snake is not here..."
Wang Pingbei looked around nervously.
"You are a Qingyun Tower genius after all, why are you so timid?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"This is the Tian Jue Abyss. Who can be so brave? You are from the Mother Realm. You don't know how terrifying the Tian Jue Abyss is..."
Wang Pingbei smiled bitterly.
"There are ninety-nine and eighty-one days in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and the Abyss of Heaven Beyond is definitely the most terrifying one."
"Ninety-nine eighty-one days? What does that mean?"
Xiao Chen was curious.
"This 'sky' refers to the cave heaven, which is almost like a secret realm, not a sky that only lasts for one or two days."
Wang Pingbei explained.
"It is said that there are eighty-one caves in the outer world. The Tianjue Abyss is already known. The most terrifying... Since ancient times, too many powerful people have died in the Tianjue Abyss, including many legendary figures and giants who could shake the outer world with just a stomp of their feet. They are all dead."
"Eighty-one caves are equivalent to eighty-one secret realms..."
Xiao Chen's attention was focused on this.
"Can anyone go to these secret places?"
"Of course not. Most of them are controlled by big forces."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Moreover, eighty-one days is just a general term, not a specific number. It may be more or less. Some have already collapsed, and some have not yet been discovered..."
"Sure enough, every world is the same... limited resources are controlled by a few people."
Xiao Chen curled his lips. The secular world was like this, the ancient martial arts world was like this, and even the world beyond heaven was like this.
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Pingbei didn't understand.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head. He felt that there was nothing good to talk about with Wang Pingbei, a vested interest.
In Wang Pingbei's opinion, this is how it should be.
"You know the secret place of Qingyun Tower, right? Can you enter?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"what you up to?"
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen warily.
"Don't look at me like that. I just want to go and see the world... Don't you think the Mother Realm is barren? Then why don't we come from a poor place and want to broaden our horizons?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I know, but I probably can't take you in... Second Uncle and the others all died in Tianjue Abyss. How can I explain if I get out alive?"
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Once I'm discovered by Qingyun Tower, I might be in danger."
"I'm not that stupid yet..."
Xiao Chen muttered.
"What did you say?"
Wang Pingbei didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing. I told you that you don't have to be so pessimistic. Just say that you were extremely lucky and somehow managed to walk out of the Abyss of Heaven..."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"Impossible. They have too many ways to see through my lies."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"The only thing I can do is not go back to Qingyun Tower..."
When he said this, he showed a bit of bitterness and helplessness. He was a genius in Qingyun Tower, but now he would have to hide his identity from now on!
In particular, he must not be discovered by Qingyun Tower, otherwise he will be in great danger.
Even his master...can't protect him.
Thinking of this, he felt some hatred towards Xiao Chen again. It was all this guy's fault!
If it weren't for Xiao Chen, would he have ended up in such a situation?
If it weren't for Xiao Chen, he would have already found the water spirit and performed a great deed!
When I go back, I can get a lot of opportunities, become stronger, have more authority, and have more junior sisters...
Now, my distinguished status is gone, and my junior sister... is gone too.
"Don't think too much. It's not certain whether you can survive."
Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Pingbei and said with a smile.
"You...you still want to kill me?"
Wang Pingbei was shocked.
"No, I mean Tian Jue Yuan. Didn't you say it's very dangerous here? It's not certain whether we can get out."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"So, what's the point of thinking too much about the future? Get out of here alive first, and then think about the future."
"Too."
Wang Pingbei breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed.
"Alas, I should have listened to my master and shouldn't have come to Tian Jue Yuan."
"Since we're here, what's the point of talking about this? Let's go, just wander around and see if there's any opportunity."
Xiao Chen quickened his pace.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Walk out of Tianjueyuan alive and follow me. Maybe you will be more free and easy than you were in Qingyun Tower..."
“…”
Wang Pingbei glanced at Xiao Chen and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
You come from a lower world, a newcomer. Once the news gets out, you won’t be able to protect yourself!
He decided that if he could really leave Tianjueyuan alive, he must stay away from Xiao Chen.
Even if I have to live in anonymity for my whole life, it is better than being a street rat following Xiao Chen!
In addition, if he doesn't follow Xiao Chen, as long as Xiao Chen doesn't say anything, no one will know that it was he who brought Xiao Chen to Tianwaitian.
So, no matter what Xiao Chen does in Tianwai Tian, it has nothing to do with him.
He can't be considered a sinner in the outer world.
"First cooperate with him, and once I get the antidote, I'll ask him to promise me not to tell anyone about me..."
Wang Pingbei muttered to himself, and his mood improved a little.
Although he cannot return to Qingyun Tower, the world of martial arts is so big that with his strength, he will always find a place to stay.
"What are you swearing about? Hurry up."
In front, Xiao Chen looked back and said.
"Ah, here it comes."
Wang Pingbei responded and quickly followed.
