"That's for sure."
No sooner had Su Qiluo finished speaking than a sound came from the water.
Kazel slapped his tail hard in the water, using the force of the slap to leap out of the water.
He came out in such a hurry that water was carried out by his body and splashed out, dripping onto everyone else.
"oops."
Mu Qingyun and Su Qiluo stood up almost instantly and immediately hid behind them.
Butterfly instinctively cried out and quickly hid behind her.
Although they reacted quickly, the water droplets were even faster. Even though they quickly got up and moved away, their clothes were still inevitably soaked.
Kazel sat down to the side, took out a blue gem from his storage bag with his left hand, and waved it in front of them.
"We got the raw stone."
"Impressive!" Butterfly Dance and Mu Qingyun didn't hold back their praise. Looking at the blue gemstone in Kazel's hand, Mu Qingyun asked, "Any clues?"
“I don’t know if it’s a clue,” Kazel said, gazing intently at the murals he had just been looking at. “I saw a set of murals that told an ancient legend. The murals were colorless, and that story was the only one that looked like a clue.”
Actually, he had been thinking about it for a long time on the way back, and he already had an idea in his mind, but the idea was a bit too simple, and he was a little hesitant to believe it.
"What story?" Mu Qingyun asked.
Kazel recounted the entire story of the murals he had just seen, and added his own thoughts at the end: "Facing east, underground, that's my guess."
Mu Qingyun recalled the story Kazel had just told, and it seemed that his idea was correct.
Upon closer reflection, her clues seemed to vaguely point to this direction. If all four paintings were taken out and compared with Cazell's conjecture, it seemed that they were indeed from the East and underground.
The two creatures in the first picture point to a dark and damp environment. The ruins above are particularly dry, so only the passage below is a dark and damp place.
The second image has a dark background, but in the darkness there is a brightly burning sun pointing eastward.
The third and fourth images convey similar meanings, suggesting that Kazel's guess is correct.
It turns out that the difficulty of clues and raw stones is relative; the easier it is to obtain a raw stone, the more difficult the clues are.
The difference in difficulty between her clues and Cazell's clues is enormous!
"But the fog is so thick, how can we tell where the sun is?" Butterfly Dance looked at the four paintings, frowning in distress. She seemed genuinely confused.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun looked up in confusion, but seeing Diewu's expression, she could only sigh helplessly, "Which way does the sun rise?"
“Dong…” Butterfly Dance responded subconsciously, but as soon as she uttered a word, she realized something was wrong.
Oh, right, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
"Sorry, my brain just wasn't working properly, hahaha." Butterfly Dance gave a dry laugh, the forced smile looking quite awkward.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Butterfly Dance lowered her head again, trying to minimize her presence and hoping that no one would notice her.
"There is another problem. The east has two directions: one is the far east, and the other is slightly east. But no matter which one it is, the range it points to is very large."
Mu Qingyun turned her head to look at the wall blocking the way. "Not all places underground are accessible, and it's hard to find."
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult, but from now on, you can no longer use flying." As Su Qiluo listened, she decided to remind them.
She let the first half of Su Qiluo's words go in one ear and out the other, but she took the second half to heart.
Su Qiluo's difficulties are not on the same level as theirs.
Therefore, his opinion was of no value to them.
"Rest first." Kazel thought for a while and then told them to go to sleep. After all, they had been up for so long and everyone was tired. "This is very sturdy and won't fall down. Sleep soundly."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyun agreed with him. They were already very tired, but Kazel bringing the raw stones up had boosted everyone's spirits.
No longer fixated on cultivation, she leaned on Su Qiluo's shoulder, closed her eyes, and began to sleep.
Daylight passed, and night arrived as scheduled.
After resting, the group set off eastward.
Do you think that god or human ever had any regrets?
Su Qiluo's voice rang out beside her. Mu Qingyun stepped over a piece of rubble and answered firmly, "What do you mean?"
"If they knew their love would cause such a change, would they still love each other without hesitation?" He smiled and asked casually, but a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.
He was waiting for Mu Qingyun's reply.
"Yes." Mu Qingyun replied immediately without much thought, "but we will choose a better method in advance, either by hiding the laws of heaven and earth, or by setting up the tunnel in advance."
"The two of them thought of each other until their deaths. The god wanted humanity to live, and humanity didn't want the god to die alone."
"If they could live their lives again, they would definitely still be together."
"Love is not about right or wrong, but about the person and the motivation for loving. Feelings that are not allowed by the laws of heaven and earth are not necessarily not allowed to exist."
She expressed her thoughts, realizing that Su Qiluo asked her such a question to understand her views on this type of matter.
It was obvious that his thoughts were in sync with hers. Although his face was expressionless, the smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.
"Beep beep beep—"
Suddenly, the communicator on Su Qiluo's wrist started emitting a piercing sound, an emergency contact notification.
He glanced at the people around him, then, without any hesitation, held the communicator closer to his ear. "What's up?"
"A new type of seed has sprouted from the seed bank and can survive in the desert. Come back quickly!" The doctor's voice came from the other end of the communicator.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun also pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the other end of the communicator.
A seed bank!
How many seeds must be inside that she can nurture!
I'm so excited! I really want to go and see it for myself.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Su Qiluo became interested, quickly responded, and then hung up the communicator.
"Are you leaving?" Butterfly Dance looked this way. After hearing that there were seeds that could survive in the desert, her only thought was—finally, there would be pure green plants on Kapa Dome!
"Okay." Su Qiluo pressed a button on the communicator, then looked at Mu Qingyun apologetically, "I..."
"Go ahead." Mu Qingyun had no complaints at all. She was already quite happy that Su Qiluo was willing to accompany her for such a long distance.
