In the quiet temple, Huai Shi raised the bell with two claws, opened the lid, and looked inside with wide eyes.
It was empty.
Fu Yi?
Where's Fu Yi?
Such a big stoat was just here, how did it disappear?
Huai Shi held the bell and looked at it for a long time in confusion. Then, after touching every inch of the temple, he suddenly turned back and looked at Jonathan.
"Do you have any clues?"
Jonathan froze for a moment, then immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum.
Then, he saw Huai Shi raise his tail, the greatsword upright, and slash at his face.
"Since you don't have any clues, then don't keep your head!"
Bang!
The greatsword slashed at the empty space, and Jonathan actually disappeared like a bubble.
Instead, at the tip of the sword, the Crystal Earthworm, which was tied into a ball by psychokinesis and had its mouth stuffed with leftover iron, was struggling hard.
Realizing that Huai Shi had noticed it, tears gushed out of its eyes, and it made sobbing sounds.
It wanted Huai Shi to save it quickly.
It didn't know when it started, but it was actually tied up, and what was left in place was just an illusion.
Huai Shi was silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. "Fu Yi, have you had enough fun?"
If he hadn't slashed at Jonathan in anger, he was afraid that this time, she would have really fooled him and taken the opportunity to slip away.
So, in the originally empty bell, an illusory stoat that seemed to be condensed by mist poked its head out, glanced at him, and quickly shrank its head back.
"Not this." Huai Shi curled his lips. "Change it to a real one."
The sound of a bubble bursting came from in front of Huai Shi's nose. The stoat squatting there covered its eyes and looked at Huai Shi through the gaps between its claws.
This should be real, right?
Probably.
Huai Shi couldn't guess it. Anyway, he couldn't tell. He just relied on his understanding of Fu Yi to trick her.
"What was that just now?" he asked.
"It's an ability obtained after three transformations."
Fu Yi spun in a circle on the spot, showing her body that was becoming thinner and thinner. It was no longer translucent, but rather a blurry silhouette outlined by mist.
Even its weight was close to nothing.
"True Illusion can create an illusion that is no different from the real body. It can also talk and attack. However, it's basically useless. It can be broken with a single poke. It's only useful to deceive people."
Fu Yi explained honestly, then asked tentatively, "Are you angry?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really." Huai Shi sighed. "Can I still beat you up?"
He raised his claws and compared the difference between the two of them.
Not to mention hitting her, Fu Yi would be dead with just a slap.
They had been good brothers for so many years. How could he do anything just because Fu Yi had lied to him?
"You really don't want to go out?"
He let out a long sigh and looked at Fu Yi as if he was looking at a friend who had a conflict with her family and was staying in his house. Although he wouldn't chase her away, he didn't want her to keep running away from home either.
But if he really wanted to persuade her, how could he?
Heaven wanted to rain, and mother wanted to get married.
He couldn't even stop Old Fu from arresting people. How could he care so much … Besides, after experiencing a series of blows, Huai Shi was no longer arrogant enough to think that he could solve everything in the world.
"Isn't everything fine?" Fu Yi jumped up and patted his nose. "If something happens, I'll be the first to run. How about that? I promise I won't care if you live or die. Besides, without me to cheat, what will you do? Rely on him? "
As she spoke, she pointed at Jonathan, who was trapped by her.
Jonathan's whimpering became louder and louder. He struggled with all his might, but no one cared about him.
Well, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed unreliable.
Sure enough, he still had to rely on his brothers at critical moments.
"Can you promise?"
Huai Shi asked seriously. "If you want to play games, I can give you all the games in my house. But this is really not a good place for an autumn outing. Besides, autumn is about to end. If there's any danger, or the next time I ask you to quit, can you promise to absolutely comply with my request? "
"I promise."
Fu Yi blinked her big watery eyes and swore with her two little paws. "Don't worry, Old Tie, I haven't reached the point where my parents will lose a daughter because of a little trouble."
The dog and the weasel gave each other a high five seriously.
Huai Shi nodded. He lifted Jonathan, who was tied up into a ball with his tail, sent him out of the door, and untied him.
"That's a separate matter. I can treat your previous concealment as if nothing happened."
Huai Shi stared at his face. "But I don't want this kind of concealment to happen a second time. Otherwise, after you go out, you don't want a professional chef, a calamity musician, and an official military officer of the Central Bureau to come and reason with you, right?"
Jonathan nodded like he was pounding garlic.
It was really bad luck to encounter this pair of male and female devils.
When his desire for knowledge was scared off by Huai Shi's threat, a trace of fear finally emerged in his heart. If something really happened to Fu Yi because of his negligence, not only would he not be able to explain it to his teacher, but the creator Niffenheim would also give him a hard time.
Two creators were giving him a hard time, and a military officer was sharpening his knife … How was he going to live his life?
Now that Huai Shi was willing to give him a way out and not pursue the matter, and even let him stay and continue to study the next changes of the God's Remains, he was already thankful. Why would he have so much nonsense to say?
They were all mature people who had established their own sects. If he didn't accept the offer, he would be shameless.
As for the dignity of a scholar … Haha, what was that?
As the stone door closed, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He seized the time to study the changes and operation of the God's Remains.
The rare symbiotic ecology among the abyssal creatures was not so easy to encounter. Moreover, it involved the leader of a large group, which was enough to be a research topic.
On the way, he habitually opened the map and glanced at it. There seemed to be something wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him?
He closed the map and put all his thoughts into observing the God's Remains.
No one realized that on the map, Fu Yi's name … had completely disappeared.
Even if they found out, they didn't have to care.
It was a small matter, right?
A small matter!
Thus, Jonathan hummed a song and disappeared into the night.

"Has the botanist from the exploration team sent the summary report over?"
"They're finishing it up. They encountered a new species with some plant, biological, and mineral characteristics at the same time. They're classifying it. The Metal Scholar has submitted a new metallurgical report and mineral exploration analysis."
"Exploration of mineral veins. If Jonathan was here, it would be easy to leave this to him … Can you contact him?"
"I contacted him yesterday. It's said that he ran to the surface and was specially approved by the creator. Maybe there's another mission? Damn lucky guy, tsk. "
"Can you guys stop quarreling? During the mission, can't everyone be a little less troublesome? "
"Ha! Even if I die and my bones rot in the soil, I'll use my rotten vocal cords to shout — geology is not science! "
"Damn it, I haven't even said anything about social psychology. Shut up!"
"Okay, stop arguing! Are you all so free? Where's the research on the social form of the Rat People and the Goblins? There have been several conflicts in the past two days. Do you all need me to brainwash them? Can't you guys hurry up and come up with a new social structure for me? "
"I'll speed it up, I'll speed it up …"
"Also, the external combustion engine has been in place for so long, but the new internal combustion engine hasn't been installed yet?"
"Go and ask the Plant Group and the Mineral Group. I've already settled the laws and principles, and I've designed the eighth or ninth version. The utilization rate of the new fuel and metal fatigue problems haven't been solved yet. You can't blame me for this, right? If you ask me, I'll just do it in one step and settle the geothermal power generation group first. There's so much magma, it'll be a waste not to use it. "
"Accumulation of technology, accumulation of technology, understand? If you try to save time and take this step, you'll have to come back and make up for it all over again. If you have a shortcoming, it'll be a disaster. Save it, you bunch of industrial dogs. "
"Are you sure it's not because you bastard are thinking about riveting steam? Steam power should have been f * cking eliminated many years ago. Why can't you bunch of leftovers accept reality? "
"Shut up. You can insult me, but you can't insult my faith."
"Bullshit faith. I saw you wasting your time the day before yesterday, working on the design of some super-large-scale robot used in the decisive battle!"
"You … Don't slander me with empty words. What's wrong with me working on a robot? How is faith a waste of time? "
Amidst the laughter and noise, the conference room was suddenly filled with a persecuted and joyful atmosphere.
Then, the group of scholars began to quarrel over a new problem.
This place was indeed a world dozens of kilometers away from the surface. It was not a strange demonic realm that surface creatures could imagine. But now, this dark world had long been illuminated by blazing lights.
Amidst countless clanging sounds of steel, dozens of large steel pillars soared into the sky. Like lighthouses, they scattered light regardless of day or night, illuminating everything.
There were also banners hanging down from the ceiling.
They were labeled in both goblin and ratman languages.
[Work happily and return home safely], [Be careful and be happy at all times], [Racing is prohibited in construction areas], [Have more children and plant more trees] …
The eye-catching scarlet handwriting marked almost every eye-catching place, and the roar of the explosion reverberated throughout the huge construction site.
As the river of lava flowed, the metal solution in countless steel furnaces stirred and flowed through the trenches with blazing light. After being cooled, forged, and processed, the metal was turned into parts from the assembly line and transported in large carts in all directions.
Everything in sight had turned into a bustling construction site and production base.
Under the joint efforts of dozens of scholars (?) The ignorant goblins, ratmen, and other underground creatures' races, as well as the races evolved from explorers, had been combined into a new race and collective. They were fighting for a goal under the control of various consciousnesses and powers of correction.
"Come to think of it." Just as Ang Chang was working, a kobold scholar suddenly raised his head and asked, "We haven't even given this place a name yet."
"Erm …"
The red fox suggested, "How about we call it the Eternal Titan Empire?"
Just like other places, there were always contrarians who jumped out. Someone immediately asked, "Where's the Eternal? Where's the Titan? Where's the Emperor? "
"I think it's not bad." Another scholar who was presiding over the overall situation nodded. "It's much better than the Holy Empire."
"I think it's good too. It's settled then."
The others nodded and ignored the contrarian's opinion. Ten minutes later, a huge metal plate slowly rose from the embryonic form of the city.
Underground World: Eternal Titan Empire!
