Chapter 1611: Chapter 1614: Mutual Suspicion
Translator: 549690339
In the Beast Carriage, everyone was extremely excited.
Just as Su Yu had expected, there were even more spiritual objects in front of them.
“Brother Xue Yu, look, I found 101 stalks of Starlight Grass!”Xue Lin’s face was red as he said excitedly, “The Xue family doesn’t need to hand it in for a whole year!”
Xue Xin rolled her eyes at him. “If you have the ability to hide it from the people of the Sword Pavilion, then we’ll talk.”
Xue Lin scratched his head and said, “I almost forgot. We can only get 20% .”
He placed 20% into Jian Xuan’s specially made storage ring. It was a small khaki sword.
The space inside was not too big. The items that could be stored inside did not exceed 1,000 cubic meters.
This was because Jian Xuan had deliberately restricted them and collected too many resources.
Jian Xuan had to take precautions against the island forces.
Xue Xin also took out nearly a hundred stalks of starlight grass and reluctantly put them into her sword-shaped storage ring.
The others’harvest wasn’t small either. Just the starlight grass alone had more than 300 stalks.
According to the 20% ratio, there were more than 60 stalks.
“Next year’s starlight grass mission will be much easier.”Xue Changzhi stroked his beard happily, his face glowing red.
The others all revealed happy smiles.
“Let out a sigh of relief. This year, Xue Lei, that vile creature, destroyed the starlight grass and brought about a near-devastating blow to our Xue family. Now, we can finally relax.”Xue Lin clenched his fist and cursed.
In the dark, Xue Lei, who was holding a small transparent sword, glared at them. However, on second thought, not only did he put away the small sword in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
He secretly sneered and revealed a teasing look. “Hehe, you’re really my good clansmen. You still can’t forget about me. In that case, I’ll let you taste the taste of despair again!”
He did not plan to let them off easily and assassinate them one by one. Instead, he planned to give them an even bigger surprise.
As night fell, Su Yu said, “Stop and rest.”
Xue Lin and Xue Xin had gained a lot during the day, reluctant to part, Su Yu said, “Ten million miles ahead is a place that is recorded to be rich in production. Any Island will go to pick it. It was not easy for us to get ahead of them. Why do we have to stop? Isn’t it better to rush over in one go?”
Shaking his head, Su Yu said, “According to the records, don’t act rashly during the night in the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave.”
“Xue Lin, listen to Xue Yu!”Xue Changzhi said sternly, “Xue Yu is right. The Ten Thousand Dragon Cave is different from the outside world. Every night is the most dangerous time.”
“Back then, the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave had buried countless divine dragons. The dragon souls gathered here, and once they came out at night, they would move about. Over the years, the dragon souls have taken them away. I don’t know how many creatures have gone missing,”Xue Changzhi said solemnly.
He was the only person who had participated in the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave many times. His understanding of this place was far better than others.
Only then did Xue Lin stick out his tongue and hide in the corner of the Beast Carriage.
Su Yu and Xue Changzhi got off the carriage and set up a restriction around the beast carriage to prevent unknown enemies from invading.
The next morning, a sharp scream broke the silence in the beast carriage.
Cold sweat dripped down Xue Lin’s forehead as he said in panic, “My storage ring is missing!”
Everyone was startled awake and their expressions changed drastically.
The loss of a storage ring was no small matter.
When the exploration ended, the storage ring would be retrieved by the Jian Xuan.
If a storage ring was lost, he would only need to explain. With Jian Xuan’s way of doing things, he would not listen to him at all.
Not only would the person who lost the storage ring have to undergo a soul search, all the people accompanying him would have to undergo a soul search to ensure that the storage ring was not hidden.
Who did not have their own secrets? Once their soul was searched, the consequences could be imagined.
Furthermore, if a storage ring was lost, half of the resources obtained by the team would be deducted as punishment.
In other words, only 10% of the resources found could be obtained in the end!
Xue Changzhi realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted, “It’s useless to take an extra storage ring. If one of you took it, hand it over now and I can pretend that I don’t know!”
He glanced over and no one showed any strange expressions.
Xue changzhi shouted, “The beast carriage didn’t open for a night and no one came in or out. The missing storage ring must be the work of one of you! “If you don’t hand it over, Don’t blame me for searching you one by one. If I find it by then, I won’t be able to get past you so easily!”!
However, everyone still looked the same. They looked around with suspicion in their eyes and kept their distance from each other.
The intention of being on guard could not be more intense.
“Uncle Xue, don’t make a hasty conclusion.”Su Yu said, “With the Xue family’s current situation, I don’t believe that there is someone who doesn’t know what’s good for the Xue family and will harm the Xue family.”
He looked at Xue Lin and said, “Think about it again. Did you leave it somewhere when you were looking for the starlight grass today?”
Xue Lin shook his head with certainty. “Absolutely not. I clearly kept it in my arms.”
“Are you sure?”Su Yu stared at him.
When Xue Lin met Su Yu’s gaze, he couldn’t help but feel guilty. He muttered, “Could it be that I remembered wrongly?”
He originally lacked confidence, but after being interrogated by Su Yu, he immediately lost his confidence.
“Everyone, split up and search.”Su Yu ordered without hesitation.
Xue Changzhi said, “Everyone? What about the Beast Carriage?”
“Hold onto it. If the storage ring fell on the way, it would be difficult to find it in the Beast Carriage.”Su Yu said.
Everyone thought about it. Although it was troublesome, they could only hold onto the Beast Carriage and head back.
Xue changzhi frowned and said, “Our Xue family has been viewed with enmity by many factions. The Beast carriage is the key to our escape. We can not afford to lose it. Let me lead it.”
His cultivation base was the highest among everyone. With him leading the beast carriage, anyone who wanted to take it away from him would have to think twice.
No one had any objections.
The consequences of losing the beast carriage would be hard to bear.
If they were to encounter the divine feathers clan, with the strength of both sides, they would probably be wiped out and die here.
“Alright, let’s not delay any longer. Let’s set off immediately,”Su Yu said as he led the group back.
The group split up and looked around for the lost storage rings.
After half a day, when they found a valley, the worst-case scenario that they had expected happened!
The shouts around the valley shook the sky, and ten powerful auras rushed out.
When they fixed their eyes, they saw that it was the sixth-ranked sea flood dragon clan on the island.
“Hehe, look what prey we have been waiting for.”The leader was an elder of the sea flood dragon clan, and he sneered.
The rest of the sea flood dragon clan looked carefully and couldn’t help but laugh, “Isn’t this the Xue clan that has been riding on a horse in the dust? Why, are they back again?”
“Humph, Humph, you were so arrogant when you entered the ruins. Now, let our sea flood dragon clan experience it!”The sea flood dragon elder sneered and gave a look. The ten people flew down from the valley and surrounded them.
Xue Changzhi’s expression changed and he said, “Everyone, get on the beast carriage immediately!”
If they fought head-on, the Xue clan was completely no match for them.
Only the beast carriage could rush in and break through their encirclement.
Thinking of this, Xue Changzhi could not help but feel fortunate that the clan leader had spent such a huge price to prepare this beast chariots.
Otherwise, they would have really died here.
Hearing this, the Xue clan members immediately gathered towards the beast chariots and prepared to use them to escape.
However, at this moment, an unexpected thing happened.
