Once, twice, thrice …
Tang Zheng could not remember how many times he had climbed up the wall of the cave, but every time, he would get lost. Fortunately, he had made marks along the way so that he could return the way he came.
Several people stared at him with wide eyes, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Tang Zheng secretly sighed and said encouragingly: "There is always a way out, we will definitely find the exit."
"But those people are definitely still guarding the cave entrance, aren't we just walking right into a trap?" Tang Dahai's spirit had recovered quite a bit but his eyebrows were still filled with worry.
"There is no one who can stop us." Tang Zheng firmly said.
"Little Zheng, this time this matter is too big, you are making an enemy of the country. If you go out, where can you go? Could it be that you are going to escape abroad and live your life as an exile?" Tang Dahai worriedly said.
Tang Zheng understood his grandfather's thoughts, people from the last century, especially the elderly, most of them had a pure heart and many times were even more important to the country than their own life.
Tang Zheng's series of actions in the eyes of the old man could be considered treacherous, but he was worried about his grandson's feelings so he did not say it out loud.
No matter what, he had to dispel his grandfather's worries. Thus, Tang Zheng was not in a hurry to taste it, but instead sat down cross legged and said: "Grandfather, I was raised by you since I was young, how could I do such a thing? The Dragon Group does not represent the country, but rather it is controlled by evil people with ulterior motives, harming the innocent. What I am doing is beneficial to the country and the people. "
The old man was skeptical.
Tang Zheng's gaze turned and stared at Cai Guibin and said: "Commander Cai, say something fair, am I really betraying the country by doing this?"
Cai Guibin hesitated for a moment, then lightly shook his head.
Tang Dahai was extremely moved as he asked in bewilderment: "Is that true?"
He knew that Cai Guibin was a government official, so he was especially interested in his words.
Cai Guibin deeply looked at Tang Zheng and said: "The government officials are not all good people, there are also parasites, and these parasites all represent their own personal interests, ignoring the country's interests. Fighting with these people is indeed beneficial to the country and the people."
Immediately, Tang Dahai truly let out a sigh of relief. The heart that was originally in his throat finally returned to his stomach. Between his brows was a bit more relaxed and happy as he said with some lingering fear: "Then I can be at ease. I was just worried that Little Zheng would go down the wrong path."
Tang Zheng gratefully looked at Cai Guibin, Cai Guibin's expression was lonely, the corner of his mouth hung a bitter smile.
He was probably the only one present who felt the most desolate. He was the second-in-command of the Dragon Group, but he had become an abandoned pawn. This feeling of abandonment made him feel at a loss.
"Commander Cai, after we go out, if you are interested, I can introduce you to another place." Tang Zheng said.
Cai Guibin bitterly smiled, not saying anything, he did not take it seriously.
"Since these holes are innumerable, no matter how we climb, we will get lost. Why not use a more violent method and destroy all these holes, then walk up step by step."
His heart was happy, thinking that this was not a bad idea, so he had everyone hide under Gui Qian Sui's turtle shell. With a thought, he prepared to summon the Four Symbols Venerables, this big guy's destruction was simply like the help of the gods.
Yi?
Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, staring blankly at the Four Symbols Venerables that were left in the Sumeru Bag and were connected to each other, but he was completely unable to summon the Four Symbols Venerables, as if there was an invisible force suppressing them, not letting them come out.
What was going on?
Tang Zheng had never encountered this kind of situation, it was simply inconceivable.
Could it be that there was a problem with the Sumeru Bag?
But just as he took out the food from the Sumeru Bag, he hurriedly tried to take out the food, with a thought, the food appeared in his hands without any problems.
Strange, only the Four Symbols Venerables were affected, why was it like this?
He hurriedly voiced his doubts, and the others also found it inconceivable. Fang Shishi held her chin with one hand, thinking hard. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pointed around, saying, "Could it be that this place restricts the Four Symbols Venerables from appearing?"
"This place? I don't feel anything special about this place. " Tang Zheng said suspiciously. He did not feel the fluctuations of a formation here, which meant that this place was the same as any other place, there was no power that could restrain the Four Symbols Venerables.
"Tang Zheng, you're wrong, this place is definitely not simple. Have you ever seen any landform like this?" Fang Shishi persisted in her opinion.
Her words enlightened him, and Tang Zheng suddenly realized. That's right, he had only been focused on finding the way out, and had overlooked the uniqueness of this landform.
It was impossible for this kind of situation to occur in a natural landform, there might really be a way out among all these holes.
"Just now, I went to quite a few forks, and I found that the deepest part was magma, and only the bottom of that hole had a clear spring. This is something worth investigating."
He finally realized that he had overlooked an extremely serious problem, and hurriedly took out the seed. The green light swam around the surface of the seed, mysterious and beautiful.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn over, and they gathered together to carefully examine the seed. When they heard Tang Zheng's description, they felt even more amazed.
"This seed is definitely not simple, but what kind of seed is it?" Cai Guibin muttered to himself.
"Captain Cai, I have a question. Why was the base built above this cave? There are hidden dangers here, aren't you afraid that the base will collapse? "Tang Zheng noticed another suspicious point.
Cai Guibin shook his head blankly, "I only found out about this base after joining the clan's Dragon Group, so I don't know the answer to your question."
"In short, there's something strange about this place."
Squeak squeak!
Suddenly, Xiao Bai weakly called out. The little guy had swallowed too much magma, and it had turned into a round ball, lying on the ground, unable to move.
Looking at its naive appearance, Tang Zheng couldn't help but laugh. He bent down and picked it up, patted its little head, and comforted it, "Xiao Bai, in order to save us, you really worked hard this time."
Xiao Bai, however, acted as if it didn't hear anything, and its pair of eyes stared blankly at the green seed.
"Xiao Bai, this is not delicious, you can't eat it." Tang Zheng had experienced the nature of the little guy's gluttonous nature, and hurriedly said.
Xiao Bai was indifferent, and still stared at the seed in Tang Zheng's hand. Suddenly, Xiao Bai opened its mouth, and bit down on Tang Zheng's palm.
Tang Zheng had never been on guard against Xiao Bai, and was suddenly bitten by the little guy's two rows of sharp teeth. The sharp teeth directly embedded into the palm, and blood immediately flowed out, dyeing the palm red.
Seeing this, the others were shocked and shouted, "Tang Zheng, quickly let it go, it's dangerous."
Xiao Bai didn't let go, but looked at Xiao Bai in puzzlement. He and the little guy had been together for a long time, and Xiao Bai had helped him a lot, and even saved his life.
He trusted Xiao Bai from the bottom of his heart, and didn't think that it would harm him, so even if it was painful, he endured and looked at it suspiciously.
Xiao Bai took a bite and let go, still staring at the seed. The blood had already dyed the seed red, and a trace of red light lit up, enveloping the seed, and the crystal clear green color swam faster.
The blood on Tang Zheng's palm was absorbed by the seed in an instant.
Suddenly, Tang Zheng felt a burning pain in the palm of his hand, and quickly let go of his hand, and the seed immediately fell to the ground.
Kacha!
With a crisp cracking sound, the seed hit the ground and broke open, and a green light rushed out, and the whole cave was illuminated by the green light.
"Look, the seed has taken root and sprouted." Fang Shishi pointed to the ground and cheered.
This is really amazing, the seed absorbed Tang Zheng's blood, and actually broke through the soil and took root, turning into a bean sprout-like seedling.
"Amazing, amazing."
Tang Dahai and Cai Guibin couldn't help but exclaim.
But immediately, Tang Zheng's exclamation also sounded, "Wow, what a strong vitality."
In the past, when he was at the peak of Ordinary Balance Mountain, and even in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, he had seen much stronger spiritual energy than the outside world. Spiritual energy is the source of a cultivator's power, and Tian Chanzi once said that this world's spiritual energy has become very thin, so most people's cultivation will be very slow.
The world's spiritual energy is less and less the more it is used, unlike oxygen which can be synthesized through photosynthesis. Therefore, later on, the cultivation environment left for cultivators will be worse.
But what made Tang Zheng's heart beat fiercely was that the spiritual energy emitted by this little seedling was much denser than any other place he had seen before. It was simply a feeling that made it difficult for people to breathe.
Fang Shishi took a deep breath, and her handsome face was also full of surprise, and said dumbstruck, "This … is spiritual energy?"
The two of them were too familiar with spiritual energy, and they used the Spirit Gathering Pill to make up for the lack of spiritual energy, and then they accidentally obtained spirit stones, so they were more familiar with this kind of pure spiritual energy than ordinary cultivators.
But whether it was the Spirit Gathering Pill or the spirit stones, there was no way they could compare to the spiritual energy emitted by this little seedling.
This was simply a spiritual energy fountain, continuously emitting outwards, and even Tang Dahai and Cai Guibin's spirits were shaken, as if they were a few years younger. The spiritual energy entered their eight extraordinary meridians, and removed many of the impurities that had been left in their meridians over the years.
To them, this was a kind of transformation of their bodies, and although the two of them didn't understand this point, they still felt refreshed and comfortable, and suddenly looked at Tang Zheng at the same time.
Seeing Tang Zheng staring at the little seedling, they also fixed their eyes on the little seedling, was all of this brought about by this little seedling?
Before Tang Zheng could react, a cheerful voice sounded in his mind.
"Master, what a strong spiritual energy, Ling 'er is too happy."
This was naturally the three hundred year old ginseng, Ling 'er.
At that time, she said that she would soon transform into a human, so Tang Zheng put her in his Sumeru Pouch, but he didn't expect that this strong spiritual energy would penetrate the Sumeru Pouch, and even Ling 'er absorbed it.
Ling 'er's laughter was like a burst of silver bells, crisp and pleasant to listen to.
