"Tell me, what is this pile of junk?" Ximen Guan said, pointing at the broken Lightspeed One on the table.

"Uh, I accidentally got a little damaged during the fight." Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.

"Damaged a little by accident?" Ximen Guan's eyes twitched, and he said angrily, "You call this damaged a little? It's already scrapped, okay? I worked so hard to make a magic suit for you, and what about you? You don't know how to cherish it at all. You just wore it out for a trip and you scrapped it for me. You are really good."

Ximen Guan took a breath and continued, "I can understand that the magic suit is damaged. It may be that the demon spirit is too strong and broke your magic suit. It's not your fault. But tell me, how did you do this? The light energy transmission of the magic suit is completely blocked. How did you do this? I have never seen such a thing in my life. The material of the magic suit can't even transmit magic light. It's just a pile of useless garbage. I really admire you. It must be hard for you to make the magic suit like this. It's not easy."

"Let me ask you, did you plan this long ago? Lightspeed One... Lightspeed One... The speed at which it is scrapped is truly the speed of light, you deserve this name..." Ximen Guan was so angry that his lungs exploded.

The magic costume that was finally made overnight was not yet completed. Strictly speaking, it was still a semi-finished product, but it was actually scrapped by Li Xiu.

"It was definitely an accident." Li Xiu felt a little guilty and it was not easy for him to confront Ximen Guan.

If he hadn't wanted to know how strong the power of the super spirit was, and hadn't forced an overload to fight the super spirit head-on, Lightspeed One would not have been damaged.

If it is not overloaded, relying on the performance of Lightspeed One, it is possible to use skills to defeat the super spirit, but it is a little troublesome.

"It's really hard for you to be in such a mess by accident." Ximen Guan sighed and said, "Forget it, it's just a piece of garbage anyway, it's useless, but it's a pity that the materials with the magic wood were wasted."

"Old sir, you see my magic costume is broken, how about you make me another one?" Li Xiu whispered gently.

"Make? How? The materials are scrapped and the magic core is cracked. What can I use to make another set for you?" Ximen Guan rolled his eyes.

"There are still a lot of magic woods. As for the magic cores, don't worry. I still have them here." Li Xiu said.

"How can you waste such a precious material like the Demonic Wood? Even though you are the city lord and all the things belong to you, you can't be so dictatorial. You are committing a crime by wasting such good materials on those garbage. I, Ximen Guan, am a person of professional ethics. I absolutely cannot agree to let you do such a thing. Such waste will lead to being struck by lightning." Ximen Guan refused immediately.

"Old official, don't be anxious. Take a look at this." Li Xiu took out the super spiritual gem and magic core and placed them in front of Ximen Guan.

"What's so good about it? Even if you talk a lot today, I don't have the time..." Ximen Guan said, and when his eyes fell on the magic core in Li Xiu's hand, he immediately forgot what he was going to say next.

"What's going on with this magic core? It seems a little wrong. And what is this crystal? Why do I feel there is strong light energy in it..." Ximen Guan snatched the gem from Li Xiu's hand, then pushed the door open and walked out of the office, running to the laboratory to test it with instruments.

Not long after, Ximen Guan came back again. His expression was completely different from the sullen one just now. He said with a smile on his face, "Ahem, Lord City Lord, where did you get this magic core and that gem?"

"Will you make my magic suit?" Li Xiu sat on Ximen Guan's office chair, drinking tea calmly and speaking calmly.

"Build it, how can I not build it? You are the city lord, everything here belongs to you. If I don't build it for you, who else should I build it for?" Ximen Guan said with a smile on his face.

"You can't say that. Although I am the city lord, I am not a dictator. I can't let you do anything that goes against professional ethics." Li Xiu said after taking a sip of tea.

"How is that possible? Lord City Lord, you are such a selfless person. I have never seen another person like you in my life. If anyone dares to say that you are a dictator, I, Ximen Guan, will be the first to stand up and kill him. My professional ethics is to put your needs as the first criterion." Ximen Guan had a serious face and spoke righteously.

"Devil Wood is such a good material. Isn't it a waste to make those rubbish magic equipment? Or let's just forget it." Li Xiu pretended to stand up.

"No waste, no waste. How could there be any waste? You are the master of a city. Any material can be used on you..." Ximen Guan hurriedly held Li Xiu's shoulders and asked him to sit down again.

"Isn't that too much trouble for you?"

"No, it's not difficult at all."

"How long will it take to make my magic suit?"

"Two months." Seeing that Li Xiu didn't say anything, Ximen Guan gritted his teeth and said, "One and a half months... one month... no less... even if we work day and night, it will take a month, otherwise it will not be enough time."

"Then let's take a month." Li Xiu told him about his trip to the Golden Gate.

"Damn it, I finally understand why Chang Sheng Tian didn't care about the magic suit and treated me like that. There is actually such a thing as a super spirit. They must have mastered the technology of super spirits at that time. According to what you said, ordinary S-level magic suits are nothing in front of super spirits. It's no wonder." Ximen Guan gritted his teeth and said after listening: "No wonder Light Speed ​​One is damaged like this. It's a pity that I didn't see the super spirit with my own eyes. It would be great if I could catch one and bring it back for experiments."

Ximen Guan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He cursed, "Those bastards in Changshengtian are so short-sighted. Trialists can become super spirits, and the technology of magic suits can also be innovated. Sooner or later, magic suits that can easily kill super spirits can be created. Damn it, I must create that kind of magic suit, so that they will regret it too late."

"Old official, don't worry. I will fully support you in researching the magic suit. When life in the city gets better, I will immediately increase your budget and buy the best equipment." Li Xiu paused and said, "But before that, you have to make my magic suit first."

"Don't worry. Since I know there are super spirits, I will definitely not let you be in danger. If those guys in Changshengtian who can reach the super spirit level come to us, we must be able to deal with them. This magic suit must be made, and it must be made to the highest standards. It must be able to deal with super spirit-level demons and trialists." Ximen Guan said seriously, "One month is not enough. You have to give me more time."

"Okay, just go ahead and do it with confidence. Tell me if anything is missing and I will try my best to find a solution." Li Xiu was overjoyed when he heard Ximen Guan say that the project should be built according to the highest standards.

"This magic core is just right to be the core of the new magic suit. I will keep the super spiritual gem for research..." Ximen Guan immediately asked for the super spiritual gem.

Li Xiu didn't have any objection. He left the super spirit gem and magic core to Ximen Guan and had a good sleep after leaving the laboratory.

It was almost noon the next day when Li Xiu woke up. He stretched and was about to go eat something when he heard Chu Jun's voice coming from outside the door.

"Li Xiu, this is terrible." After hearing Li Xiu's voice, Chu Jun pushed the door open and walked in, saying anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiu was slightly stunned.

"Something happened at the construction site. Let's go take a look." Chu Jun said anxiously.

"Construction site? What construction site? What happened?" Li Xiu didn't react for a moment as to what Chu Jun was talking about.

"It's the Demon Spirit Arena. There was an accident on the construction site over there. Sha Chu said that a hole collapsed and a worker fell in. We sent people to rescue him, but he couldn't get out." Chu Jun explained the cause and effect of the incident clearly.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Xiu hurriedly followed Chu Jun out the door.

When we arrived at the construction site of the Demon Spirit Arena, it was surrounded by tall iron sheets and we couldn't see what was going on inside.

After entering through the gate, I saw that the foundation had been laid and some buildings were beginning to be built.

But now the site has been cleared and there is no one else on the construction site except Sha Chu.

"The foundation has been laid, why would it collapse?" Li Xiu asked immediately when he saw Sha Chu coming.

"The City of Light was originally built by pushing up the mountain. There is solid rock underneath, so there is no need to lay a foundation. After processing the rock, some shock-absorbing and waterproof layers were built on it. Who knew that during the construction last night, a hole suddenly collapsed there..." Sha Chu said as he brought Li Xiu to the collapsed hole.

The hole wasn't that big, only about one meter in diameter, but looking down it was so pitch black that you couldn't tell how deep it was. Even with a strong flash, you couldn't see the bottom.

"Has anyone gone down?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.

This hole is not a big deal, but if there is a bigger hole underneath, then the City of Light is like being built on an eggshell, and there is a risk of collapse at any time. Maybe the whole city will collapse by then, and all their efforts and investment will be wasted.

"I sent someone down, but not long after he was lowered, he suddenly lost contact. When I pulled the rope up, I found that the steel wire safety rope was broken. I didn't know what had happened down there, so I didn't dare send anyone else down." Sha Chu held the broken end of the steel wire rope for Li Xiu to see.

Li Xiu looked at the broken part carefully. It looked very smooth, as if it had been cut directly by a sharp blade. He couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Hasn't there been a detailed exploration before?" Li Xiu asked again.

"I did, but I didn't find any holes underneath." Sha Chu thought for a moment and said, "Could there be a demon underneath?"

Li Xiu also had the same suspicion. The steel wire rope did not seem to be worn through, but it was unlikely that there would be humans in that place, so the most likely possibility was a demon.

"Xiyuan, come here and bring the magic suit over." Li Xiu called Ye Xiyuan.

After a while, Ye Xiyuan rushed over wearing the ghost mask devil costume. After knowing what happened, Ye Xiyuan immediately said: "City Lord, the situation below is unclear, let me go down and investigate first."

"Are you okay?" Li Xiu looked at Ye Xiyuan and asked.

"I can do it." Ye Xiyuan answered firmly. It was obvious that she was not just talking casually, but really wanted to go down and explore the way for Li Xiu.

"Next time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I may have some guesses about what the things below are. I have to go down and see it myself to confirm my idea." Li Xiu patted Ye Xiyuan's shoulder, took the Ghost Mask Demon Costume, put it on and jumped down.

He didn't know what was down there, he just had some doubts.

He had been wondering why the Lord of Red Sand City would spend such a huge amount of money to build a city in such a place. The purpose must not be as simple as just a trial gate.

But there are no mineral deposits here, so Li Xiu has never been able to figure out what the Lord of Hongsha City’s intention was in building the City of Light.

Now that he suddenly discovered such a cave, he began to wonder whether it was related to the fact that the Lord of Hongsha City chose to build the city here.

The light patterns on the magic suit lit up, allowing Li Xiu to slowly descend in mid-air, with the fluorescence on his body illuminating the surroundings.

The cave was surrounded by smooth stone walls, like a straight up and down tube. After descending two or three hundred meters, the diameter of the cave did not widen or narrow at all.

This made Li Xiu very suspicious. Perhaps this hole was not formed naturally, but was pierced by some force.

"Could this really be the hole drilled by the Lord of Red Sand City? Why did he dig such a deep hole here? Is there a gem mine underneath?" Li Xiu continued to descend, and had already descended more than 500 meters, but he still could not see the bottom of the hole.

The hole above has shrunk to the size of a cup mouth, and the dark and narrow environment seems very depressing.

Only the light from the magic suit illuminates the surroundings. Even with the Mirror of Darkness, one cannot see what is underneath.

It's not because it's dark, but because there's still a lot of depth below.

Li Xiu estimated that the depth was more than one thousand meters, but he still hadn't reached the bottom.

"Something's wrong. The workers who came down earlier suddenly lost contact after they came down about a hundred meters. Now we're over a thousand meters high. How come they haven't found anything yet? And they don't feel any lack of oxygen?" Li Xiu was confused and wanted to find out more.

When the depth exceeded two thousand meters, the straight tube-like hole suddenly became wide, and a huge underground space appeared.

Li Xiu glanced at the underground space and was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

This underground space is probably as big as a city, and the stone ceiling is inverted in a hemispherical shape like the sky.

In this huge underground space, there was actually a demon crawling there. The demon's body almost occupied half of the underground space. It was so huge that it was unimaginable. Li Xiu was no bigger than an ant in front of it.

Its body is as crystal-like as jade, and every scale on its body emits fluorescent light. However, outside the body of the demon spirit, there is a thick layer of crystal wrapped around it, as if sealing it inside the crystal.

"Is this... a Qilin?" Li Xiu looked at the appearance of the evil spirit and found it to be extremely similar to the Qilin in mythology and legend.

It has a dragon head, a lion body, and a horse tail, its body covered with crystal-like scales, crystal-like dragon horns on its head, and claws that are also as crystal-like as jade. It looks scary and mysterious, yet has a certain indescribable weird beauty.

On the body of the evil spirit, Li Xiu saw the bodies of two workers. They fell on the crystal that wrapped the evil spirit.

What's strange is that their bodies were also wrapped in crystals.

"What kind of evil spirit is this? Why is it here?" Li Xiu looked around the four underground spaces. In addition to this evil spirit and the bodies of the workers, there was a pool of water in a corner of the underground space.

Li Xiu looked at the pool carefully and found that it was unfathomable and emitted bursts of cold air.

What made Li Xiu feel strange was that there was a plant growing in the middle of the pool.

Even though Li Xiu was standing at the edge of the pool, the water was as clear as pure water, but he still couldn't see the bottom and didn't know how deep it was.

With Li Xiu's eyesight and the clarity of the water, it should be no problem for him to see more than ten meters.

This means that the pool is still more than ten meters deep. If this plant can grow from below, it should be at least ten meters long.

The part that is exposed above the water looks like coral, snow-white and crystal clear, emitting tiny twinkling lights.

The reason why Li Xiu thought it was not a coral but a plant was that there were five small snow-white flowers blooming on the coral-like thing.

The petals are translucent and look like they are carved from the finest jade, but they emit a faint fragrance.

In the part that can be seen underwater, the coral-like vines extend all the way until they are out of sight.

Li Xiu didn't know what this thing was, so he naturally didn't dare to move. Who knows if the crystals on the huge demon's body were produced by the pool of water or the plant.

After looking at it for a while, I still couldn't figure out what it was. I walked around the underground space again, but didn't find anything else.

Li Xiu looked at the evil spirit carefully again, and suddenly his eyes fixed.

He discovered that there was an arrow nailed on the forehead of the unicorn-like demon spirit, right between the eyebrows.

About half of the arrow was inserted, and the exposed shaft and tail looked like they were carved from a ruby.

This ruby ​​arrow itself has no luster at all and looks more like a work of art than a real arrow used in battle.

But since it can penetrate the demon's scales, it must be no ordinary thing.

"Did the Lord of Hongsha City choose to build the city here just for this evil spirit? Or was it for the plants in the pond?" Li Xiu couldn't figure it out for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiu flew towards the cave entrance from which he came. He understood the level of this evil spirit and did not dare to attack it easily.

With such a huge body, even an ordinary S-level demon spirit must have terrifying power. If it goes crazy and collapses the underground space, I wonder if it will affect the City of Light above.

Although there is a rock layer of more than 2,000 meters between them, it should not have much impact, but no one can be sure.

What's more, Li Xiu didn't think that this was an ordinary S-level demon spirit. Although the fluorescence on its body was very dim, Li Xiu always felt that this guy was not simple.

If this guy has super spiritual power and a fight really breaks out, it will be a big trouble.

Li Xiu planned to go back and get a cell phone or something like that, take pictures of the evil spirit and the plants in the pond, and show them to Ximen Guan or Lao Dao. Maybe they would know what this thing is.

"Human..." When Li Xiu was about to fly out of the underground space, he suddenly heard a voice ringing in his head.
