Shirō Makino and the others dodged to the side.
The short Zongshi glanced at the pale-faced Grandmaster beside him and said, "Old Zhao, come on …"
The pale-faced Grandmaster nodded, and the two of them approached at the same time.
The giant earthworm seemed to have some intelligence, as if it was afraid, but it still opened its round mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth in a show of force at the two Grandmasters.
"Be careful of its saliva!" Shirō Makino warned loudly.
In an instant!
The blades in the two Grandmasters' hands once again turned red hot, and they fiercely slashed at the giant earthworm's head.
The giant earthworm opened its mouth, but before it could even spit saliva, it was struck dumb by the two Grandmasters' attacks!
The two red-hot blades forcibly cut into its head, and the huge wound extended for several meters. The giant earthworm's head was directly cut into three halves, two of which were like a wilted flower that wasn't very pretty, spreading out at a small angle.
Fresh blood immediately gushed out like a fountain.
The giant earthworm still had its head on the other side, and it ran for its life.
Like a fast-moving mountain of flesh, it carried the three halves of its head with it as it frantically fled.
That speed, was no ordinary kind of speed.
After this attack, the two Grandmasters' faces became even paler.
But the short Zongshi's face was a little dark, and it wasn't easy to tell.
Shirō Makino looked at the two of them, and cautiously asked, "Do you want me to replenish your spiritual power?"
The short Zongshi seemed to like Shirō Makino quite a bit, and smiled as he shook his head, "How much spiritual power do you have? Don't waste it, we'll recover in a while. "
As he spoke, he took out a few spirit stones and held them in his hand, preparing to replenish his spiritual power.
The other pale-faced Grandmaster looked at Shirō Makino and the group of youths, and frowned slightly, "You kids, why did you come to this place?"
Ji Chae Yi glanced at the two Grandmasters and realized that each of them was wearing a ring similar to the one on her hand. She then looked at the two Level Nine Spiritual Warriors and saw that they also had rings on their hands.
She took over the conversation, her delicate face carrying some fear as she said, "Greetings, seniors. We are the champions of Hundred Flowers City's Hundred Flowers Cup this time. Since we have the qualifications to enter here, we wanted to gain some experience. However, I'm being chased by a group of people on this floor. They want to steal my ring … "
The short Zongshi glanced at the ring on Ji Chae Yi's hand and said with a hint of realization, "You're just a kid. Wearing such an expensive storage ring will definitely make people greedy and covetous. I really don't know why your parents are so generous to let you come here."
"We snuck out." Ji Chae Yi giggled, her face adorable.
"Where are those people?" The other pale-faced Grandmaster asked, "What kind of people are they? Describe them to me."
Ji Chae Yi said, "We've been running and running, but we don't know where they are. They might be waiting for us at the entrance to the fourth floor. There are two Grandmasters and a few young people in that group. "
"I think we've seen the people she mentioned when we came in. They should be the rich kids who came from the zither." The relatively mild-tempered Level Nine Spiritual Warrior said.
"Zither? They came all the way here? Their sense of smell is quite sharp. " The short Zongshi sighed. "The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse. Although a storage ring is priceless, as a Grandmaster, you don't have the demeanor of a master at all. You even want to steal a child. Aren't you ashamed?"
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Chae Yi and Shirō Makino. "You guys did us a favor just now. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to kill this Armored Cricket. How about this, you guys wait here. We're going to explore the sixth floor. When we come back, we'll take you out with us! "
"Thank you, Senior, but is … is it safe here?" Ji Chae Yi asked.
"This is the Armored Cricket's territory. Under normal circumstances, the big earthworm wouldn't dare come here. It's no match for the Armored Cricket. With its scent around, almost no underground creatures will come here. Just stay here and don't worry, "the short Grandmaster said with a benevolent expression.
"What if … those people come back?" Si Yin asked weakly.
The short Evolved Jing master was taken aback. He glanced at Si Yin and thought to himself, 'What a sin. She's such a cute little girl. If I were her parent, I'd keep an eye on her and not let her run around!
This bunch of little fellows were really audacious youths who didn't know life from death!
The grumpy 9th level Soul Warrior suddenly spoke, "If you guys are not afraid, then come down to the 6th level with us. Just stay by our side. If you can find the treasure, it'll belong to you. Of course, if we can use it, we'll buy it with money. But whether you sell it or not is your right. "
"Leng Tie, will that be …?" The other ninth-level warrior hesitated.
"This little Talisman Artist is quite powerful. He can help us." The grumpy ninth-level warrior, Leng Tie, said.
The short Zongshi nodded and looked at Shirō Makino and the others. "That's fine. If you guys aren't afraid, you can follow us for now. Don't worry, the few of us are not interested in your storage ring. "
Ji Chae Yi smiled sweetly. "Senior, you're treating us like outsiders. We may be young, but we know what's good for us. If you guys have bad intentions, you don't have to go through all that trouble."
As she said that, she looked at Liu Zhiyuan and Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino nodded.
Since they didn't know that they had Soul Pearls, they should be able to guarantee their safety by following them for now.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Senior!" Ji Chae Yi said.
Sometimes, a young and beautiful lady was more useful than a handsome young man.
The elderly were also willing to talk to young and beautiful ladies. It made them feel younger.
Soon, Shirō Makino and the others found out that the short Zongshi's surname was Peng, and the pale Grandmaster's surname was Kong.
Of the two level 9 spiritual warriors, the hot-tempered one was called Cold Iron, and the other was called Fei.
They didn't reveal their backgrounds. In a place like this, it was normal for everyone to hold back.
Moreover, they only asked Shirō Makino and the others for their names. As for their backgrounds, they weren't interested.
This was for the best. If there was a chance, they could make friends after leaving this place.
Following two Grandmasters and two ninth-level warriors down to the sixth floor, everyone felt much more at ease.
However, the sixth floor was more chaotic than they had imagined.
When the first five floors were combined together, it could be considered a complete underground city.
The first and second floors were like an underground labyrinth.
There were messy passageways everywhere, twisting and turning that could make people dizzy. On both sides of the passageways were rooms of the same size. If one didn't have a map and had no ability, there was no way they could get out.
Who knew how long the city guards and field troops had taken to explore the first two floors?
Although the third, fourth, and fifth floors were extremely spacious and occupied a vast area, their construction methods were arranged according to the sequence of various ancient formations. If one didn't know about ancient formations, it would be hard to find the entrance. If one wasn't careful, they would end up in a dead end.
However, if one knew about ancient formations, the third, fourth and fifth floor were easier than the first two floors.
As long as there were traces to follow, it wasn't hard. Shirō Makino didn't even need to look at the map to figure out where the entrances and exits were.
The palaces on the third, fourth and fifth floor were amazing!
In every palace, there was a gold-plated throne. No one knew who sat on these thrones during the years when this place was bustling.
These palaces seemed to have been sealed by a mysterious force. Even after so many years, they were still in perfect condition.
The thrones looked brand new, and the palaces were spotless.
It was amazing and hard to understand.
This underground city was obviously used to house people and not to trap people. So far, they hadn't found any terrifying traps, only the terrifying underground creatures.
This was normal. After so many years, it would be strange if this place hadn't been occupied by the underground creatures.
However, the sixth floor gave off a completely different feeling.
It was like a city ruin after a great war!
Looking at it, it was a scorched land!
The space here was even bigger. When they came down from the fifth floor, they had walked for almost half a day!
Although their speed wasn't fast, it took them such a long time to reach the sixth floor. It was enough to show how big this floor was.
There were dilapidated palaces, ancient cliffs, plains full of underground plants, mountain valleys, and even rivers and lakes that had dried up for countless years …
This place didn't look like it had been carefully cleaned up. There were many underground creatures, such as the armored crickets and giant earthworms on the fifth floor. They could be seen almost every other area.
There were also giant centipedes that were more than ten meters long, giant spiders and ants that were several times more terrifying than the second floor … There were also giant rats that seemed to be covered in iron armor.
There were also giant pythons that specialized in catching these armored rats. They could see their heads but not their tails. Even the two grandmasters took a detour when they saw them.
What made this group of people depressed was that there were countless underground creatures on the sixth floor, but the valuable things here had been cleaned out!
Everyone happily searched for a long time, but they couldn't find a single thing!
Two days later.
"Damn it, aren't those city guards' wild teams a little too professional? They didn't even leave a single thing for us. What are we supposed to explore? After so many days, we only got two pieces of jade … I don't even know if there are any techniques sealed in them. "Leng Tie had a bad temper and was very straightforward.
He didn't try to hide anything in front of Shirō Makino and the others.
After two days of contact, these people were very satisfied with the performance of these children.
Especially Shirō Makino and Li Min, they especially liked them.
They liked Shirō Makino not only because he was handsome, but also because his control talismans were really powerful!
When they were cleaning up the underground creatures, as long as Xiao Bai made a move, he would be able to control the creatures.
This way, it was easy and fun to kill!
Shirō Makino also took the opportunity to collect a large amount of blood from the underground creatures. His large backpack was almost filled with all kinds of test tubes.
What these people liked the most was Xiao Bai's attitude towards learning!
Even in a place like this, as long as he had free time, he would start to draw talismans seriously.
Of course, the group of warriors couldn't tell what he was drawing.
But a child who was so studious and so handsome would definitely be very popular.
As for Li Min … it was because this little girl was too good at doing things!
What surprised everyone was that she actually knew how to cook?
Originally, these four people used instant food and nutrition to fill their stomachs. They didn't expect that Li Min would actually prepare some cooking utensils and some ingredients.
Although the conditions here were limited, the food she made tasted pretty good!
Good at doing things and sweet talking, in just two days, Li Min had won the favor of two Grandmasters and two Level Nine Warriors.
Unknowingly, she had also integrated into Xiao Bai's group.
It was hard to say whether they would join or not, but at least they had become friends.
"You've already found the cultivation method before? That's great! "Li Min asked with a face full of surprise.
Faced with Li Min's praise, Leng Tie pursed his lips and said, "We did gain a little, but this thing needs to be tested by professional equipment before we can determine what exactly is inside. Sometimes, it's a very high-level technique, sometimes it's a low-level technique that doesn't make the cut. And sometimes … Damn it, it's just a bunch of messy little stories! "
Sun Fei glanced at Leng Tie and said with a smile, "Leng Tie, don't teach children bad things. What do you mean by messy little stories?"
Leng Tie laughed and shook his head, "I don't know if those ancient ancestors had nothing better to do. They actually used high-level jade slips to seal those useless things."
Shan Gu's eyes widened, and he looked interested. "Brother Leng, Brother Sun, I like those messy little stories and useless things. Can you share them?"
"Shoo, shoo, shoo. Don't be so curious, it's bad for your kidneys if you ask too much." Leng Tie glared at Shan Gu.
After becoming familiar with them, the hot-tempered Leng Tie was the fastest to get along with them. He was not very old, in his thirties. According to Sun Fei, he was single. Other than his bad temper, he was a very good person.
On the fifth day in the sixth floor, everyone finally found another jade slip on the sixth floor.
This time, it was Si Yin who found it.
One must say that human luck was a very mysterious thing.
On the fourth night, everyone found an ancient building with broken walls. After chasing away a group of underground creatures that occupied the place, they camped here and prepared to rest for the night.
The three girls, Si Yin, Li Min, and Chae Yi, were protected by everyone in the innermost circle.
Shirō Makino, Shan Gu, Liu Zhiyuan, Leng Tie, and Sun Fei were in the middle.
The two Grandmasters were guarding the outermost circle.
When Si Yin woke up early in the morning, she unintentionally reached out and touched her fair little hand. A jade slip the size of a palm appeared.
Although it was stained with a lot of dirt and looked dirty, any experienced adventurer could tell that it was a good item with just one look!
The group of people immediately surrounded it, all of them looking excited.
Then, the short Master Peng smiled and explained the value of the jade slip to the group of people.
"Although I don't know what's sealed in it, it's easy to sell an unappraised jade slip for millions if you put it in an auction."
"Actually, it's better to sell it after it's appraised. As long as the level of the skill is high enough, it's not something that can be bought with tens of millions."
"But if you choose to appraise it, there's a certain amount of risk because it might not be worth a single cent."
Master Peng said with a smile.
Leng Tie ridiculed, "Yeah, although a cultivation method that can be sealed in a jade slip generally wouldn't be too lousy, who can say for sure about this thing? There were a lot of brainless experts in that era. They even dared to put all kinds of stories in it. What else couldn't they do? "
Shan Gu: "I like those stories … I'm especially interested in archaeology!"
"That's why there have always been people who have been cheated like this."
"The jade slips of that era were probably very cheap. Even if they weren't those messy things, they might be some basic, ordinary skills that can be found on the streets."
"Although they can be sold for a bit, those things really aren't worth much."
Sun Fei added.
That was the truth. Many of the jade slips with skills sealed in them were not as valuable as Ji Chae Yi's basic, middle-grade critical hit skill after they were appraised.
That was why most adventurers wouldn't even bother appraising the jade slips after obtaining them. They would just throw them into the auction house for auction.
Naturally, there was no shortage of buyers.
Many people liked to look for excitement and gamble. They called this' jade gambling '.
Some rich people would throw out millions just to buy an ancient jade slip like this. If it was a rare, high-grade skill, they would be rich.
If he only obtained an ordinary cultivation technique or some jade slips containing a short story, he would just treat it as spending money to have fun.
"This jade slip was found on the sixth floor. I think it shouldn't be too bad. How about this, I suggest that you go to a first-class main city to find a reputable appraisal agency to appraise it after you return to the city. If there really is a rare, high-grade skill sealed in it, we'll pay for it! We'll pay according to the market price. "Master Peng said with a smile.
Si Yin looked at Shirō Makino and the others for help.
Shirō Makino glanced at Liu Zhiyuan. They were now friends who could communicate with just a look. Liu Zhiyuan instantly understood.
He smiled and said, "If we can really appraise a skill that Senior Peng, Senior Kong, Brother Leng, and Brother Sun can use, we'll make a copy for you. If it wasn't for you guys, we wouldn't dare to go down to the sixth floor! "
This was a blatant lie. If they hadn't met these people, they would have had to go down as well. However, it was hard to say whether they could still find the jade slip.
But when and what to say. In front of these people, they naturally had to say something that they liked to hear. Liu was very good at this kind of thing.
"How can we do that? To be honest, we're not professional adventurers. Lao Kong and I are professors of the academy. Little Leng and Little Sun are lecturers of the academy. This time, we're here on vacation to explore. So, do what you have to do and follow the rules. You guys don't have to worry about anything. Although we all want to find good stuff, we won't go so far as to kill others just because we see them getting rich. "
Grand Master Peng smiled and reassured the group of little guys.
Master Kong was a man of few words, but he said, "What Peng said is right. You guys don't have to worry about anything. You guys said that you're high school students. Being able to become the champion of the Intercity Cup at such a young age means that you're very talented and capable. We've seen Xiao Bai's abilities for the past two days. Peng and I didn't have the nerve to mention our identities. However, let's mention it now. If it's possible, you guys can come to Feixian University without having to take the exam. "
"Wow! Feixian University? "Li Min exclaimed.
Ji Chae Yi, Shirō Makino, and the others were also shocked.
The number one university in Feixian Planet!
Although Feixian University couldn't even make it into the top 50 universities in the Zulong Empire, no one would deny its ability.
It was a well-deserved famous university!
Unlike Shirō Makino, Shan Gu, and Ji Chae Yi who were ambitious, Li Min's family would be overjoyed if she could really get into Feixian University.
As for the first-rate famous universities in the empire, she might fantasize about it during her daydreams. However, after she sobered up, she still had to have a clear understanding of her own capabilities.
She couldn't brag to others, but she couldn't brag to the point where she would believe it herself!
In fact, Li Min didn't even dare to think about Feixian University.
"Teacher Kong, I'm taking your words seriously!" Li Min looked at Master Kong in surprise.
Master Kong was a little surprised. He looked at Master Peng and laughed. "Hey, Peng, you really got one!"
Master Peng also laughed. "Li Min, are you serious?"
Li Min nodded her head like a chick pecking at grains. "Of course I'm serious. Feixian University is my dream university! It's the place I've been dreaming of! "
"As a Support-Type Talisman Artist apprentice, your performance these few days has already qualified you to study at Feixian University. When we go back, I'll get someone to specially send you an invitation to enter the university without having to take the entrance exam! "Master Peng said happily.
"Uh, Mr. Peng, Teacher Kong, I'm only in my first year of high school. Isn't this a little too rushed?" Li Min stared blankly at the two happy old men. This result made her feel both pleasantly surprised and pleasantly surprised.
"There's no rush, there's no rush. High school cultural classes are not difficult for you at all. You can just take a make-up exam after you enter the university. You'll be fine after learning a little!" Master Peng said.
"Yes, high school cultural classes are not difficult at all," Master Kong said.
On the other side, Leng Tie and Sun Fei, the two invisible ninth-level warriors, couldn't get a word in. It seemed like they didn't want to get a word in, either. They were giggling foolishly.
Little White and the others were dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, is there a need for this?
Actually, it was really necessary!
Although Li Min's Spiritual Energy talent wasn't too high, it wasn't low either. Moreover, in the entire Flying Celestial Planet, there weren't many people at their age who had a Spiritual Energy of over 100!
Once a youth with a Spiritual Energy of over 100 appeared, the recruitment teachers of the Flying Celestial University from the first-rate famous schools in the empire would be like a pack of jackals who had found their prey. They wouldn't care who the prey belonged to, and they would snatch whoever they found. Moreover, they didn't care about friendship. Sometimes, they would fight to the death with each other. How could it be the turn of the Feixian University?
Talking about friendship with children? Talking about hometown sentiments? That was useless!
Who didn't want to go to a better school? Who didn't want to have a better development?
If it was said too much, the children's parents would jump out in anger and say, "If you have the ability, go and become one of the top ten famous schools in the empire! Then stay here and don't go anywhere else! " Otherwise, what right do you have to stop my child from having a bright future?
The more they said, the more they would cry. The main reason why the Feixian University had been deteriorating over the years was because of the loss of outstanding talents.
It was hard to retain talents!
No matter how many scholarships they offered, they weren't willing to stay. What else could they do? They couldn't possibly forcefully detain them, right?
Therefore, once they met someone they fancied, they wouldn't care if they were in Year One, Year Two, or Year Three!
If they were really outstanding, they could even be in Year One!
Cultural classes? They could slowly make up for it!
With a top-notch teacher, would they be afraid that they wouldn't be able to teach them cultural classes? If they really couldn't do it, then they could be art students! In any case, they would definitely be able to get their graduation certificate.
Master Peng was still unwilling to accept the fact that he had headhunted one of them. He really liked the characters of this group of children.
He looked at Xiao Bai and said, "Does your team want to consider it? If they are willing to come to Feixian University, we can discuss anything! "
