Chapter 3359 — So Many Energy Stones
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
There had been a time when this very problem had left Yu Xiaoke utterly at a loss, but now, she felt a strong urge to bite Wei Zhao to death. Why hadn't you said earlier that you could do that dead-or-alive trick?
"Heh heh… all right, all right, let's just get out of here first, shall we?" Wei Zhao was a little embarrassed and sheepish too. Fortunately, they were down here, where the light was extremely dim, so no one else could see the expression on his face.
"Mm…" In that instant, Yu Xiaoke turned into the most docile of little treasures, answering in a soft voice.
Yu Dake was stunned. He had never imagined that his own sister could, in the blink of an eye, get so tangled up with Wei Zhao. Weren't these two supposed to be at odds? Could it be that Wei Zhao really was the male thief his sister liked? Now that would truly be something marvelous!
"By the way, why weren't you like this before?" Yu Xiaoke suddenly thought of a rather crucial question.
"Like this before?" Wei Zhao casually drew the Thousand-Silk Mask out of his jade pendant space and put it on his face. Just then, the three of them reached the next fork in the path, and the light fell across Wei Zhao's features.
"Ah!!!!" Yu Xiaoke was given an enormous fright, staring at Wei Zhao in shock. "You can actually change your face?"
"…" Wei Zhao was somewhat speechless. Wasn't Yu Xiaoke making just a bit too much of a fuss? He took the Thousand-Silk Mask off his face. "It's nothing but a mask. Are you trying to scare me to death? All right, let's get out of here first and talk later!"
"Mm…" This time Yu Xiaoke was one hundred percent certain that Wei Zhao was the male thief. Her hand, which was clutching his arm, tightened even more.
After passing several more forks, Wei Zhao suddenly stopped in his tracks! Because they had come through the last passage—let's call it the last passage, for now—since beyond this passage there were no more forks, only an enormous hall!
But the hall was not empty. Along one side of it, little stones were piled up in dense, countless heaps, heaped into veritable mountains, so many that Wei Zhao could not see the end of them at a single glance. This place was like an enormous underground storehouse!
The opposite side of the hall was a wall—nothing else. And on the last side, there was a door set into the wall, with no telling where it might lead.
"What is this place?" Yu Xiaoke was rather astonished.
"Indeed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is so abundant! This is a wonderful place for cultivation!" Yu Dake said in astonishment as well.
Wei Zhao, however, was staring slack-jawed at that densely packed pile of little stones, unable to speak—because those were white energy stones!
"This is…" At this moment, Yu Dake also followed Wei Zhao's gaze and saw the vast quantities of energy stones! Right now, Yu Dake was beside himself with excitement. "Mr. Lin, aren't these exactly the energy stones we need? And so many of them! We're rich—we've actually found the Paoli clan's energy stone storage warehouse!"
Was this really the Paoli clan's warehouse for storing energy stones? Wei Zhao found it a little hard to believe. Putting a dungeon and a warehouse together was a very foolish thing to do. True, the passages of this dungeon were full of deadly hazards, and an ordinary person could never hope to reach this place safely—but one could not rule out people with special abilities. People like him, Wei Zhao, for instance.
In Wei Zhao's view, the Paoli clan should not have made such a rudimentary mistake as to put their own precious treasures together with their enemies. Even if their enemies could not easily get here, if they did get here—never mind stealing them, just destroying them would leave the Paoli clan regretting it beyond measure, wouldn't it?
