Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 709 - 373: I’ll Kill You All When I Wake Up

After turning the chamber upside down, knocking off and packing away all the ineffective wooden plaques and crystallized rocks in the cave, the two began digging again, preparing to find a way out of there.

Because Qiao Lezhi was too directionally challenged, this time Mei'Er took the lead to scout the way, while she stayed at the rear to cover.

Unlike Qiao Lezhi, who was digging as if wielding a shovel, Mei'Er handed three Flying Swords to a point, making them spin like a drill, while applying the Roaming Dragon Talisman to melt the ice layer with fire.

Qiao Lezhi, though in charge of covering, couldn't keep her mouth closed. She fished out a book published by Dragon Tiger Mountain, "One Hundred Things You Don't Know About Tomb Raiding," from her bosom, flipping through it while pointing and commenting.

She felt tunnels and tomb passages should have no differences, as both are paths.

"The book says the shape of the thieving tunnel is also significant, such as..."

"The book also says there are theories about directions, such as..."

Mei'Er slightly frowned, suddenly feeling that she preferred the old Qiao Lezhi.

The old her hadn't been polluted by knowledge, only sleeping every day, unlike now, holding a book and chattering nonstop.

But she didn't dare to stick a Flying Sword into the ground and turn around to say: you do it.

Because Qiao Lezhi would really do it, and then swing her Door Plate Greatsword and take them into the unknown abyss.

Mei'Er had heard that the Four Continents are like an egg, a big sphere, and digging down from here might really lead to the legendary Southern Sea Extreme Abyss on the other side.

Thinking about these irrelevant matters, Mei'Er deployed her Unique Skill Secret Technique "Don't Listen Technique," starting to block out Qiao Lezhi's useless blabber.

This trick became a magical cultivation technique when training with Chen Qin, automatically filtering out others' meaningless talk while not affecting normal communication.

Mainly because Chen Qin was really noisy as a child, even noisier than Lily, if her chatter wasn't filtered, by the end of the day, your head would be buzzing, and closing your eyes, your mind would be filled with Chen Qin's ten thousand whys.

"Mm, much quieter now."

Mei'Er thought to herself, turning Qiao Lezhi's nonsense into white noise.

Behind Mei'Er was a floating cage containing Hand.

The cage automatically floated in the middle of the team.

The Hand inside, filled with murderous intent, dared not express it in the slightest.

Instead, every so often, it would meow, pretending to be a well-behaved little kitty.

Not meowing wasn't an option; this cage was a Magical Artifact with multiple Arrays. Detecting the beast exhaling inside would trigger electricity and simultaneously a hideously large face would float around, shouting bizarre phrases like "release the leopard." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Quite terrifying.

"Sister Mei'Er, where did you buy this cage? It's quite amusing."

Drifting behind with hands on her back, poking the Snow Leopard with an ice spike, Qiao Lezhi asked, feeling that although it was branded with the Beast Taming Sect, it seemed modified and wasn't an original product.

"Bought it on the black market," Mei'Er replied without turning her head.

"Black market? The kind dealing in Evil Cultivator Craft of Flesh Bone Artifacts?" Qiao Lezhi asked in astonishment, "Didn't you report them?"

Mei'Er replied, "Not that kind, the full name of that place is Little Kinky Dark Market, abbreviated as black market."

"So it's a place selling pet supplies?" Qiao Lezhi asked.

"Sort of... sort of, alright, grown-up matters, you shouldn't pry, little kid."

Mei'Er lightly coughed to end the conversation.

The tunnel quieted down for a moment, apart from the sound of Mei'Er chiseling the ice layer, only the rhythmic meowing of Hand could be heard.

He wasn't being cute but reminding Mei'Er she was digging in the wrong direction.

Though a prisoner, he was the only person in this temporary toy cart convoy who could find the way.

Moreover, in terms of leaving this place, his desires aligned with both Mei'Er and Qiao Lezhi. Hand could clearly feel that the closer the white shadows binding him got to the Earth Vein, the stronger they became.

Wanting to break free of those white shadows and achieve the ultimate goal of killing them all, the immediate priority was still leaving here, recovering from his injuries could be dealt with slowly later.

But provided they really could leave, as the current signs indicated, fearing they would stay here for a lifetime.

Just as Hand planned to risk the cage's electricity to cause a big commotion, Mei'Er suddenly stopped, retrieved her Flying Sword, and slapped her palm against the ice surface in front.

The ice broke, revealing a bare chamber before Mei'Er.

The chamber's crystal was entirely stripped, with one big hole at the top and another below, making three big holes including her newly dug one.

They had returned to Miemie's Yellow Book Treasure Vault, digging upwards yet coming back from the left.

"You say I'm directionally challenged, yet you are the same."

Qiao Lezhi poked her head in, took a look inside, and then retracted her head again.

Though it wasn't intentional, it was full of mockery.

Mei'Er was stunned for a moment at this, and a moment later, she took out a Purple Qi Cup, shaped like a Glazed Cup, produced by Dragon Tiger Mountain from her Storage Ring.

It wasn't to find the way, but to divine fortune and identify spirits.

She suspected this place to be haunted.

Opening the Crystal Wax on the Purple Qi Cup, purple qi spewed out, and a small figure in the form of a Child, faceless, emerged before the two.

The little figure with a little belly nodded to them and then walked around the chamber with its hands behind its back, surrounded by purple qi swirling, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing, seemingly discovering some secrets.

But as the divination continued, the little figure walked faster, eventually halting with a snap in the center and turning to look at Mei'Er.
