Chapter 92 So Rich
He Cen nodded obediently, and this time he reached out and held Jun Chao tightly, fearing that if he let go again, he would be swept away by some strange thing again.
He is a fragile college student, what can he do?
He is no longer allowed to have any wish to overturn the sky. He just wants to be a salted fish, lie down and be fed by the big boss.
If it was the original sword spirit, it would definitely not need comforting after this sudden attack, but He Cen was still a little scared, especially when his mouth was covered by willow branches. It was difficult for him, a modern man, to accept it. The feeling of suffocation was too terrifying, and He Cen looked particularly bad after he came out.
Jun Chao and Bei Qi were heartbroken. Seeing that he looked unhappy, the fox beauty quickly held the child in her arms and stroked his fur.
"Don't be afraid, Master is here, no one can bully us He He."
He Cen raised his palm-sized face, his eyes pure and clear, but actually a little angry, "It was it that sneaked up on me! Otherwise I wouldn't have lost!"
"No matter what danger I encounter, will the masters come to save me?"
Bei Qi lowered his head and touched noses with him affectionately, "Of course, He He is the most important person in our hearts."
"I don't want to think about it anymore, Master, pat me."
His emotions came and went quickly. After Bo Lou blew up the entire mine below, the willow spirit had no way to escape and was tied up with silk thread by Wen Qing.
Wen Qing's silk thread was sharp and strong. The willow spirit suddenly captured He Cen, which scared them. It was very rough at this time. After catching it, the willow spirit was covered with scars.
Jun Chao took a glance and said, "It's actually a red willow."
Bo Lou snorted, "What? This willow tree turned into a red willow after drinking enough human blood. There is a mass grave underneath it."
Several people were stunned, even He Cen's expression was shocked, "Ten thousand, ten thousand people are trapped."
Bo Lou nodded. He had just chased after the red willow's lair and saw it clearly. "This thing has become intelligent. If Wen Qing hadn't blocked the way, it would have been a bit difficult to catch it."
"I originally thought I could get a 10,000-year-old red willow heart, but this thing turned out to be a red willow that sucked human blood. It's so disgusting."
He Cen looked around and said, "But this place is in the middle of nowhere, there's no village or shop nearby, how can there be anyone here?"
"How much human blood must a willow tree have drunk to reach its current level of cultivation? It must have lived for more than ten thousand years, right?"
The terrain of the Western Wilderness is complex, the land is barren, there are no resources, and there are strong winds and sand. There are too few people living here. Even if the entire oasis country is swallowed up by it, it cannot achieve this power.
Jun Chao's expression was serious. "I'm afraid the matter behind this is not a small matter. No one has set foot in the Western Wasteland for so many years. Some people can't help but do some small things behind the scenes, thinking that we can't find out."
"We need to check it out carefully."
This place looks quite remote. To be able to raise a willow spirit to this level, there must be a powerful force behind it.
After all, Jun Chao and his group are the ones who are in charge in the world of cultivation. If such a heinous thing really happens under their noses, they will definitely have to take care of it. Moreover, with He Cen here, if these things are done well, they will accumulate merits for them in the future, so they cannot be perfunctory.
I didn't expect that I would encounter all these troubles after going out to look for a treasure. He Cenwo blinked in Bei Qi's arms, "So... should we go back first?"
The original plan was that after checking the mine, they would look for the treasure on the lizard skin, but now it seems that this matter will be delayed again.
They blew up the mine in Bolou, and now the place down there is a mess, making it almost impossible to set foot there.
He was too angry just now, and Bo Lou didn't hold back when he caught Hong Liu, and didn't investigate the situation below carefully. He Cen tilted his head and looked at them, "Master, what should we do next?"
"How do we deal with this red willow spirit?"
Hong Liu won't live long now, and if they still want to investigate this matter, they can't let this thing die easily. Jun Chao glanced at Wen Qing, and the ghost cultivator leader simply put Hong Liu away first.
They want to go down again to look for clues. This part of the Western Wilderness is deserted and uninhabited, and no one is in charge of this uninhabited area. Who knows how many dirty things are going on down there.
Bei Qi fed He Cen a magic pill and checked his body again. He was relieved to see that the little sword spirit was safe and sound.
"You can't let go of Master's hand this time. Do you hear me?"
He Cen nodded obediently.
After going back into the mine, the environment below was completely unrecognizable. Bo Lou took a few people directly to see the mass grave where red willows grew. Usually, there would be a lot of resentment in such places, but the place where red willows grew was clean and there was no resentment from wronged souls.
There was only a strong smell of blood.
It is impossible for a red willow spirit to complete the blood-sucking and blood-refining process. There must be something else underground.
Jun Chao searched around and pried open a cave. He discovered that there were many magical herbs and medicines growing in a red-gold quicksand.
He Cen's eyes lit up. He had seen this thing in the sword spirit's memory. "Sun Star Sand, there is actually Sun Star Sand in this place!"
The four people had never heard of this thing, and their eyes fell on him, "What is it?"
He Cen explained, "It is a kind of quicksand that can change into various forms and give birth to all things. It is very, very precious. Wen Qing, you and Bei Qi should each take half. This thing will be very useful to both of you."
He asked to share some with Bei Qi and Wen Qing. Jun Chao and Bo Lou stepped back silently and did not fight with them for it.
However, the flowing Sun Star Sand was very difficult to catch, and each grain of red-gold sand required spiritual power to control. Even for high-level cultivators in the Fusion Stage like Wen Qing and Bei Qi, it took most of their spiritual power to collect the sand.
Fortunately, we each had half, otherwise we would not be able to finish it.
He Cen held Bei Qi's hand with excitement, "Finally I found something good for you. I feel bad for always asking you to take care of me."
Bei Qi laughed, "Oh my dear~ When did your teacher think of you to find those good things for me? Just stay by my side happily."
"Why? Are you still stressed?"
He Cen reached out and hugged him. The fox beauty felt warm and he felt very comfortable hugging her.
"Isn't that because I can't help you guys? I feel bad for eating for free. I'm glad to find good things for you guys."
"The stronger you are, the greater your hope of ascending. I'm definitely feeling the pressure."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the magical herbs and elixirs in the cave again. "I don't know which sect got the treasure here. The Sun Star Sand can cultivate natural treasures. Any good thing can be placed here and slowly cultivated. There are so many treasures here. It must be the private vault of a big shot."
"So rich, can we take it?"
What is the principle in the world of cultivation? Whoever finds it owns it. Bo Lou stretched out his hand and pinched his little face, "What do you mean by capable? I have taken down the old nest, so of course it belongs to us."
"Hehe, pick whatever you like."
