In the beast carriage, everyone was extremely excited.
As Su Yu had expected, there were more spiritual objects of the universe ahead.
"Brother Xue Yu, look, I found a hundred and one Starlight Grass!" Xue Lin's face was flushed as he said excitedly, "The Xue family doesn't have to hand it in for a whole year!"
Xue Xin rolled her eyes at him. "Say that if you can get past the inspection of Jian Xuan."
Xue Lin scratched his head and said, "I almost forgot, we can only get twenty percent."
He put twenty percent of it into Jian Xuan's special storage ring, which was a small yellow sword.
The space inside was not too big, and the items it could hold were no more than a thousand cubic meters.
Jian Xuan had deliberately restricted them from collecting too many resources.
Jian Xuan was extremely guarded against the island forces.
Xue Xin also took out about a hundred Starlight Grass and reluctantly put them into her sword-shaped storage ring.
The rest of them also had a good harvest. There were more than three hundred Starlight Grass alone.
According to the twenty percent ratio, there were more than sixty.
"Next year's Starlight Grass mission will be much easier." Xue Zhangzhi stroked his beard, his face glowing.
The rest of the people smiled happily.
"It's a relief. This year, Xue Lei destroyed the Starlight Grass, which was a devastating blow to our Xue family. Now we can finally relax." Xue Lin clenched his fists and cursed.
In the dark, Xue Lei, who was holding a transparent small sword, glared angrily. But on second thought, he not only kept the small sword in his hand, but also curled his lips into a hideous smile.
He secretly sneered and revealed a mocking expression. "Hehe, what a good clan of mine. You still can't forget me. Since that's the case, I'll let you taste the taste of despair again!"
He did not intend to kill them one by one, but to give them a bigger surprise.
As night fell, Su Yu said, "Stop and rest."
Xue Lin and Xue Xin had harvested a lot during the day. They said reluctantly, "Ten million miles ahead, it's a place with abundant resources. Any island will go there to harvest them. We finally got ahead of them, so why should we stop? Wouldn't it be better to rush there in one go?"
Shaking his head, Su Yu said, "According to the records, don't act rashly at night in the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons."
"Xue Lin, listen to Xue Yu!" Xue Zhangzhi said sternly, "Xue Yu is right. The Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons is not like the outside world. Every night is the most dangerous time."
"Back in the day, countless divine dragons were buried in the Cave of 10,000 Dragons. The dragon souls gathered here and came out at night. Over the years, the number of living beings that were taken away by the dragon souls is uncountable," Xue Zhangzhi said solemnly.
He was the only one who had participated in the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave many times, so his understanding of the place far surpassed that of others.
Only then did Xue Lin stick out his tongue and shrink into the corner of the beast carriage.
Su Yu and Xue Zhangzhi got off the carriage and set up a seal near the beast carriage to prevent unknown enemies from invading.
The next morning, a sharp scream broke the silence in the beast carriage.
Cold sweat flowed down Xue Lin's forehead as he said in panic, "My storage ring is gone!"
Everyone was startled awake, and their expressions changed greatly.
Losing a storage ring was no small matter.
At the end of the expedition, the storage ring would be taken back by Jian Xuan.
If there was a loss, with Jian Xuan's style of doing things, he would not listen at all.
Not only would the person who lost the storage ring have to undergo a soul search, but everyone accompanying him would also have to undergo a soul search to ensure that the storage ring was not stolen.
Who didn't have their own secrets? Once their souls were searched, the consequences could be imagined.
Moreover, in addition to the loss of a storage ring, the resources obtained by the accompanying team would be deducted by half again as a punishment.
In other words, they could only get ten percent of the resources found!
Xue Zhangzhi realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted, "It's useless to take one more storage ring. If any of you took it, hand it over now, and I can pretend I don't know!"
He looked around, and no one showed a strange expression.
Xue Zhangzhi shouted, "The beast carriage has not been opened all night, no one has entered or left, and the storage ring is missing. It must be one of you! If you don't hand it over, don't blame me for searching you one by one. If I find out, I won't let you off so easily! "
But everyone still looked around, their eyes filled with suspicion, and tacitly kept their distance from each other.
The sense of vigilance could not be stronger.
"Uncle Xue, don't jump to conclusions," Su Yu said. "With the Xue family's current situation, I don't believe someone would be so ungrateful as to harm the Xue family."
He looked at Xue Lin and said, "Think again. Did you lose the Starlight Grass when you were looking for it today?"
Xue Lin shook his head with certainty. "Absolutely not. I know very well that I kept it in my pocket."
"Are you sure?" Su Yu stared at him.
Xue Lin met Su Yu's gaze and could not help but feel guilty. He muttered, "Could I have remembered wrongly?"
He was already lacking in confidence, and after being questioned by Su Yu, he immediately lost his confidence.
"Everyone, split up and look for it," Su Yu ordered without hesitation.
Xue Zhangzhi said, "Everyone? What about the beast carriage? "
"Lead it. If the storage ring is lost along the way, it will be inconvenient to look for it in the beast carriage," Su Yu said.
Everyone thought about it. Although it was troublesome, they could only lead the beast carriage back.
Xue Zhangzhi frowned. "Our Xue family is viewed as an enemy by many factions. The beast carriage is the key to our escape. We cannot lose it. Let me lead it."
His cultivation level was the highest among them. With him leading the beast carriage, anyone who wanted to snatch it from him would have to think twice.
No one had any objections.
The consequences of losing the beast carriage would be unbearable.
If they encountered the Feather God Clan, based on the strength of both sides, they would all die here.
"Alright, there is no time to lose. Let's set off immediately," Su Yu said as he led the group back.
Everyone spread out and looked around for the storage ring that had been lost.
After half a day, when they found a valley, the worst-case scenario occurred!
Shouts shook the sky around the valley, and ten powerful auras rushed out.
They were the Sea Serpent Tribe, which ranked sixth among the island factions.
"Haha, look what kind of prey we have found!" The leader was an Elder of the Sea Serpent Tribe, and he sneered.
The rest of the Sea Serpent Tribe took a closer look and could not help but burst into laughter. "Isn't this the Xue family? Why are you back again? "
"Humph! You were so arrogant when you entered the ruins. Now let us, the Sea Serpent Tribe, have a taste of your strength!" The Sea Serpent Tribe Elder sneered and gave a look. The ten of them flew down from the valley and surrounded the Xue family.
Xue Zhangzhi's face fell. He said, "Everyone, get on the beast carriage immediately!"
If they fought head-on, the Xue family would not be a match for them.
Only the beast carriages could break through their encirclement.
Thinking of this, Xue Zhangzhi could not help but feel lucky. Fortunately, the Tribe Master had paid a great price to prepare this beast carriage.
Otherwise, they would have really died here.
Hearing this, the Xue family immediately gathered around the beast carriage and prepared to escape.
