Chapter 495: Long Xuan's Decision
After the Heaven-Devouring World Toad landed, it looked at the exposed Ink Gold with glowing eyes. Before Long Xuan could give orders, it immediately bounced over.
In Di Xin's shocked gaze, its volume began to grow bit by bit until it was so large that the space here could barely contain it. It opened its bloody mouth and bit a large pit out of the hard stone wall.
The stone, along with the Ink Gold, was swallowed into its belly.
It was as if its big mouth was a space blade that could split everything hard.
"Is this the Heaven-Devouring of the Three-Legged Golden Toad?" Di Xin exclaimed in surprise, her gaze beginning to become thoughtful.
The Heaven-Devouring ability of the Three-Legged Golden Toad can devour everything. The ability displayed by this Gu insect is very similar to the Heaven-Devouring ability, and can even be said to be stronger.
She seriously suspected that if the space here were not limited, this huge toad might be able to swallow this mine vein in one bite.
A Gu insect that can directly move a mine vein really scared her. Even the Three-Legged Golden Toad of the Qian family did not have such a heaven-defying ability by a long shot.
Time passed bit by bit. Although this mine vein occupied a not-so-small space, it couldn't withstand the Heaven-Devouring World Toad eating like this. After it opened its mouth about dozens of times, the Ink Gold mine vein had already been completely swallowed by it.
At this time, there was one more floating island in the space inside the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, but this island was a bit fragmented and had no aesthetic appeal.
This floating island also continuously released treasure Qi, allowing its volume to grow further.
The Heaven-Devouring World Toad could really swallow a mine vein; Long Xuan was a little surprised in his heart at this moment.
This ability to swallow a mine vein at will could not be called anything but heaven-defying. If he searched the world for various types of mine veins in the future and let the Heaven-Devouring World Toad swallow them whenever he saw one, he would slowly accumulate unimaginable wealth.
The strength of the Heaven-Devouring World Toad would also grow rapidly due to the number of mine veins in its belly. The treasure Qi produced by a mine vein was quite considerable.
Long Xuan quickly used his Golden Finger to investigate inside the large hole. Seeing that all the Ink Gold had been swallowed clean by the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, he nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Di Xin, and said: "With this Ink Gold mine vein, the gains from this trip are already enough. I am already content."
"My current body has suffered heavy damage and needs immediate recuperation. With my current physical condition, it is absolutely impossible for me to break into the more dangerous areas behind."
"I plan to stay here to heal my injuries and make plans after my injuries are healed. What are your plans next?" Long Xuan looked at Di Xin and asked.
Hearing this, Di Xin looked up and down at his scarred body and curled her lips.
She was very curious about how he ended up in this state not long after she went down.
What happened during the time she went down? How could he be so seriously injured? There were absolutely not many situations that could make him injured, unless he encountered a Gu King's pursuit.
"I always forgot to ask, how exactly did you end up in this state? Could it be that you were beaten by dozens of Gu Kings?" Di Xin asked with a half-smile.
"Don't mention it. The Xuanyuan Imperial Family went crazy and actually sent a large number of powerhouses, intending to kill all the tomb robbers. It's also fortunate that you went down in time, otherwise you would have been in big trouble too."
"I was just pursued by a peak Gu King of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family and had no choice but to fuse the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water, which is why I ended up in this state." Long Xuan briefly recounted what happened on the ground.
Hearing this, Di Xin's mouth twitched non-stop, and her gaze looking at him was full of shock.
Good fellow, fusing Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water was simply a crazy idea. It was thanks to him that he could think of it; it was truly his great luck that he wasn't blown to death.
She could completely imagine how much destructive power would be produced once the fusion of Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water was completed. This move was no different from suicide; it was simply crazy.
"Fusing Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water, you are really courting death. It is simply a miracle that you are still alive now." Di Xin looked at him with emotion, truly startled by his crazy actions.
"Since you have suffered such heavy injuries, then just stay here and heal your injuries for a period of time."
"Regardless of whether you are injured or not, in fact, the path ahead is no longer something we can continue to walk."
"According to the original plan, we need to let a large number of Gu Kings find the path for us. After they break all the dangers, we will then walk over to pick up the leaks."
"If this group of Gu Kings is not capable enough and cannot reach the end, then we can only be destined to miss the most valuable treasure in the tomb." Di Xin suddenly looked behind her, frowned slightly, and said: "Someone has already passed through that tomb passage full of space rifts. We must absolutely not run into that group of people. Where do you plan to hide?"
Long Xuan looked in the direction of Di Xin's gaze. After noticing that a large number of Gu Kings were catching up, he also showed a solemn expression.
A lot of progress had disappeared behind; he had already guessed what method the people behind used to pass through the space tomb passage.
For fixed space rifts, human lives could be used to find the location. For movable space rifts, a massive number of people could also be used to figure out the movement patterns of the space rifts.
As long as there were enough pathfinding stones, then figuring out a safe route was only a matter of time.
"I didn't expect this group of people to be so brutal and really use a large number of living people to find the path."
"Since they are good at finding the path, then let the dangers behind the ancient tomb be left to them!"
Long Xuan hooked his mouth, drilled into the belly of the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, and disappeared.
Immediately after, the Heaven-Devouring World Toad began to slowly become smaller, slowly become smaller, and finally became the size of a fist, quickly jumping into a very hidden corner to hide.
After Long Xuan entered the belly of the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, his aura disappeared completely. Even if that group of Gu Kings were exhausted to death, they would never find him.
Seeing this scene, a look of shock appeared in Di Xin's eyes.
At this moment, how could she not see that this Three-Legged Golden Toad improved by Long Xuan could actually store living things? Once the Three-Legged Golden Toad could absorb the treasure Qi of living things, how terrifying would that be? She felt terrified just thinking about it.
Seeing that group of people behind getting closer and closer, Di Xin didn't dare to delay, immediately found a hidden corner, took out a set of array disks, and firmly protected herself.
After the barrier raised by the array disk protected her, she soon disappeared into thin air, and there was no longer any of her aura here.
Obviously, this array had the function of invisibility. Since Di Xin dared to use this set of array disks, presumably she had enough confidence to avoid the investigation of that group of Gu Kings.
Not long after, a dense sound of footsteps rang out in the tomb passage behind, and soon a group of people appeared here.
Seeing the giant hole on the stone wall that didn't know which monster had dug out, everyone was stunned.
"The traces here are all new. Obviously, this large hole was just dug out. I don't know what treasure was dug out here to actually dig such a large hole."
Looking at this deep and large giant hole, an old man showed a look of shock and clicked his tongue.
"The treasure here was obviously taken away by the person walking in front of us, but I don't know what kind of heaven-defying means he used to instantly dig out such a large hole. It is simply inconceivable."
A female Gu King walked into the hole, quickly investigated the size of the space with her soul power, and said with a very shocked expression.
"After that kid stole the treasure here, he must not have gone far. Let's chase!"
"What kind of treasure is buried here? We will know after we flip through his storage bag."
Lan Yan only glanced at this large hole and then quickly walked forward.
He subconsciously thought that the person in front continued to walk forward after taking the treasure here, so he didn't investigate this place carefully.
The others obviously thought the same. In order to quickly catch the person in front, they hurried to continue walking forward and didn't stay here for long.
However, how could they have imagined that the person they had been thinking about all along was right here, far away in the sky and close before their eyes.
Just like that, Long Xuan, the person walking at the very front, miraculously appeared behind them, and the identity of the pathfinder was thus converted... (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 496 =====
