Commoners might find it unbearable to wait for a hare; however, it was very easy for Zhang Tie.
In multitasking, Zhang Tie could even watch the situation in the underground space by lotus-flower eyes; at the same time, he could capture water-element crystals in the elements realm by his huge hands so as to form his water chakra. In the process, Zhang Tie would even recite the endless true words of Great Wilderness Sutra with his eyes closed for a while so as to adjust and take a rest. Sometimes, he would even have a nap in the air with his eyes closed.
Hunting required patience. Zhang Tie was not anxious; instead, he just waited patiently in the backroom.
Zhang Tie gave himself 20 days. If nobody came here within 20 days, he would leave with these double-headed parent worm, leaving some tracing feathers here. If someone came here within 20 days, Zhang Tie would adapt to the situation.
On the first day when Zhang Tie waited for a hare, three more batches of knights came to Pingsha Valley.
Each time a knight entered the underground space, Zhang Tie would sit in the backroom and watch them through a wall which was dozens of meters thick like watching people coming and going in a box of a stadium. It was a marvelous feeling. I can see you; you can't see me. I know you; you don't know me. Everything was one-way transparent to Zhang Tie.
In the following week, 2 to 4 batches of knights came here each day. However, they didn't find anything.
One week later, the number of knights who came to Pingsha Valley to investigate the bloody sea decreased abruptly. Only one or two batches of knights came here each day. As Zhang Tie speculated, after the catastrophe in Zhongzhou Province broke out for over 1 month, those who were interested in the information here had long come here. Those who were not able to come here might have already known the situation facing Pingsha Valley through various channels. After knowing that there was no useful information here, they just didn't come here.
After another 3-5 days, Pingsha Valley became really tranquil. Sometimes, nobody came here for a whole day.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had waited for a hare in the backroom for 16 days.
During the past 16 days, Zhang Tie finished lighting the 38th scale of his water chakra and recited the endless true words of Great Wilderness Sutra for over 500,000 times.
On the 17th day, nobody came to Pingsha Valley for the whole day. Even Zhang Tie started to waver as he wondered whether he was too optimistic about the 4 double-headed parent worm. Heavens Reaching Church might not favor the 4 double-headed parent worm that much or Heavens Reaching Church was too meticulous. They would wait for a few more months or a couple of years until the situation here completely calmed down.
If that was the case, then he would stay here for three more days before leaving.
Zhang Tie made up his mind.
No matter what, he couldn't wait here endlessly. He couldn't afford it. Not to mention that Bai Suxian was waiting for him, he had to take charge of the affairs in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and Iron-Dragon Sect.
During the 17 days when Zhang Tie left Iron-Dragon Airboat, Bai Suxian had been contacting Zhang Tie by remote-sensing crystal every two days so as to confirm whether Zhang Tie was safe or not.
At this moment, Iron-Dragon Airboat was staying in the airship base of Zhongzhou City and waiting for Zhang Tie.
On the evening of the 17th day when Zhang Tie wavered, another black iron knight came to the underground space.
When this knight entered here, he just circled around the bloody sea for a few times like all the other knights who came here to explore. However, after throwing a glance at him, Zhang Tie didn't care about him at all.
After circling around the underground space for a few times, the knight suddenly flew into the air and started to circle around the dome of the underground space. Zhang Tie became a bit spirited; however, he was not sure whether there was something wrong with this knight. Because Zhang Tie had seen some knights circling in the air these days. Some knights would even knock on the mountain and the dome; however, he didn't find anything wrong with this knight.
After circling around the underground space for a few more times and approaching the backroom intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Tie finally became spirited as he knew that the one was here.
It was an old guy with an icy look. When this old guy approached the backroom and confirmed that there was something wrong with him, Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy and glanced at this old guy's face with his lotus-flower eyes from dozens of meters away. Closely after that, the outline of this person's face became clear in Zhang Tie's eyes.
This person was wearing a disguising mask. Under the disguising mask, he looked much younger. He was in his prime. With long and narrow eyes, he looked brutal, evil, vigilant and suspicious.
Zhang Tie had seen this person; in other words, he had seen this person's portrait on the wanted lists at the gates of cities across Taixia Country. This person was Wen Haoyun, the master of Pingsha Sect and Wen Clan who was wanted by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country due to the event in Zhongzhou Province.
Wen Haoyun soon came close to the periphery of the backroom. Floating in the air, he put one hand on the thick rock wall. At the same time, he released his battle qi and broke a lot of rocks into pieces silently. Those broken rocks didn't fall onto the ground; instead, they disappeared in front of him after being teleported into his portable space-teleportation device by Wen Haoyun's other hand.
When Wen Haoyun moved, Zhang Tie also moved. In the blink of an eye, after taking a look around the backroom and confirming that he didn't leave any trace, Zhang Tie returned to Castle of Black Iron. At the same time, the little black beetle directly flew to the inner layer below the edge of the bottom of a black container. After hiding its qi, it hid there.
The bottom of the four containers was flat. However, there was a ring of edge which was only higher than 1 cm, which was used to support and prevent the bottom from being damaged. The little black beetle was hiding in the inner layer of the edge. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't notice it at all.
As there was a slight difference in the weight of the double-headed parent worm and the quantity of liquid inside the four containers, each container had different weight. Therefore, Zhang Tie could not be discovered by others.
As for a knight, as long as he identified the direction, such a bit rock was nothing to him.
Hiding in the container, Zhang Tie felt the ground slightly quaking. In less than 5 minutes, a huge hole had appeared on one side of the wall of the backroom. Wen Haoyun then drilled in at once.
After entering the backroom, Wen Haoyun glanced around the backroom with gleaming eyes. After finding nothing abnormal in the backroom and the four containers were still intact, he let out a sigh at once.
At this time, no matter how rich his imagination was, he couldn't imagine that this seemingly intact secret chamber that no one had ever entered before had been entered by a strange insect that could drill through the rocks and enter. Therefore, a person had also come in.
Wen Haoyun rapidly put away the fluorite in the backroom. Closely after that, he exited the backroom with the bracelets of the two containers in one hand.
After exiting the backroom, Wen Haoyun didn't leave right away; instead, after retreating dozens of meters, he stood still in the air while releasing his battle qi. Closely after that, he launched a kick.
The knight-level battle qi was released from his legs and exploded near the dome of the backroom from dozens of meters away, causing a lot of rocks to fall off. Meanwhile, he took the opportunity to pour down those broken rocks that he had collected in his portable space-teleportation space.
In less than five minutes, the natural karst cave where the underground space was located had been completely destroyed by him. After that, he casually blasted a few large holes in other parts of the dome. Then, without stopping for a moment, he turned into a stream of light and flew toward the ground.
Zhang Tie, in the incarnation of the little beetle, saw everything.
Wen Haoyun was indeed meticulous and shrewd. By destroying the last evidence, he had completely erased all the traces of that backroom. Later on, even if the people of the Supreme Court came here to check the crime scene, they would only think that some knights were here to explore something; they would never imagine that there was a backroom in this underground space where something had been taken away by someone else...
...
The moment Wen Haoyun flew out of the underground cave, a person in black boa silk robe had flown towards him. Given his qi, Wen Haoyun knew that he was an earth knight.
After staying in the underground space for 17 days, when Zhang Tie came out of the underground space, it was still deep night outside Pingsha Valley. He could barely see his own fingers. It was gloomy without starlight. Additionally, there was some moisture and coldness in the air, which indicated that the weather in Pingsha Valley was more gloomy than sunny these days.
"How's it going?" The person asked in a low voice as he glanced at the four containers in Wen Haoyun's hands.
"Everything's fine. We've not been discovered yet!" Wen Haoyun looked around vigilantly, "Is there any situation outside?"
"No, I'm watching outside. Almost nobody has come to this damn place these days." The earth knight in the black robe was on sentry outside so that Wen Haoyun could enter and take those items inside, "Now that we've got the items, let's hurry up. The young master is waiting for us!"
"Fine!" Wen Haoyun nodded, and the two of them didn't speak any further. They soared into the sky together and flew towards the distance.
In case of being discovered by others, the two people didn't release their battle qi luster when they left Pingsha Valley. Therefore, they just flew at a speed of about 300-400 miles per hour. After flying over 60 miles away from Pingsha Valley and coming to the wild, the two people found a place and hid separately. After confirming that nobody was tailing them, the two people converged and flew towards afar at an abrupt speed like two meteors breaking the sky. (To be continued.)
