Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 407: The Dog That Can't Eat the Bone

You Su's heartbeat echoed in his chest like a drumbeat. He stared at the words gradually appearing on the stone tablet. Each word seemed to contain a tremendous amount of power, imprinted in his heart.

He never imagined that this would be the bottom of the sea!
In his impression, the sea was a vast expanse of water, but here he could breathe freely, so even though he fell for a long time, he never thought about going in this direction.

Rather than blaming the fact that the seabed looked very different from what he had imagined, it is better to say that no one has ever seen the real deep seabed.

Even though there is no record of this in so many ancient books, no one dares to claim that they have been to the bottom of the deep sea. Humans can only go to the nearshore area.

Because everyone on the five continents, young or old, women and children, knows that the deep sea is the lair of evil.

It is impossible for most people to go to the devil's cave and seek death, but the few who are willing to sacrifice their lives will all end up with no body left, and eventually become a trivial record in history books, making people even more terrified when talking about the deep sea.

But he and Bai Ze ended up here by accident. No wonder Venerable Qianlong said that this place was connected to the deepest darkness under the earth. This was definitely the most dangerous place in the five continents. It was not an exaggeration to call it a death place.

However, what shocked You Su even more was that someone had fallen into this place before him! He didn't even fall in passively, but entered actively, and judging from the inscriptions on the stele, he was still alive!

You Su couldn't believe that there was such a ruthless person in the Five Continents. Such a feat was unprecedented, but he had never heard of his name.

After the shock, one detail also made You Su's hair stand on end.

On the back of the stone tablet, there was actually a date engraved with the signature - March 13, 5095 in the Shenshan calendar.

You Su's pupils suddenly widened. This was actually the inscription left behind nine years ago!
Nine years ago...

Invited by Qianlong...

This honorable Lord of the Dragon Palace had indeed known for a long time that this tunnel led directly to the seabed!
This pioneer probably didn’t know what happened before at Kongyuan Divine Mountain. His goal was only to go overseas. Venerable Qianlong told him an entrance, and he jumped down.

So what was the purpose of Venerable Qianlong allowing him to enter the seabed from now on?
Combining all the information he had seen, You Su concluded that this black well should have appeared or been discovered about thirty years ago, which was why the divine stone was urgently smuggled in to suppress the wellhead thirty years ago.

This is a major event that concerns the lives of all living beings in the continent. She is a person of top status in Beiaozhou. She can obviously dispatch the Divine Brilliance Stone to suppress it with great fanfare. Although the appearance of the evil well in the hinterland of the sacred mountain will shake the people's hearts to a certain extent, as long as it is handled properly, it can also unite the people's hearts. It should not be concealed like this.

This can only mean that she or they must have some unspeakable secret!

"Brother Yousu, we are saved!"

Bai Ze hugged You Su's arm and cheered. The girl's thoughts were obviously not as complicated as You Su's.

"Can you read?" You Su collected his thoughts and looked at her in surprise.

Bai Ze blinked, "When did I say I couldn't do it?" Then he raised his delicate chin again, and his cheerful face drooped instantly, like a little adult, and said worriedly, "You say... this is not another trap left by someone, right?"

As the old saying goes, every failure makes you wiser, and Bai Ze obviously understands this principle well.

You Su did not deny it directly. After all, if girls are more cautious, they will be less likely to be deceived.

"It is indeed possible." You Su nodded slightly, and just when Bai Ze showed a complacent look on his face, You Su continued, "But this possibility is extremely small." "Why?" Bai Ze asked curiously.

"Evil spirits love to eat Xuan Qi that has been refined by humans, and this stone tablet contains unimaginable pure Xuan Qi. This is why they flocked here."

After You Su finished speaking, he raised the stone tablet. In the dim space, the words on the stone tablet shone brightly.

"I see. Then why didn't Big Eyes eat it instead of waiting for other monsters to snatch it?"

"Evil spirits eat people's Xuanqi, either by bewitching them or eating them alive, but these methods are only effective on living things, and they are useless against stones. This senior deliberately carved the Xuanqi words into the stone instead of using other methods. He must have thought about this. But this method is extremely difficult, and it can only be done by people who have reached the pinnacle of Xuanqi control."

"No wonder the big eyes don't eat it themselves... but they can't eat it and they still fight for it. Aren't they just like a dog that can't eat a bone?"

Bai Ze made a very vivid metaphor. Not only low-intelligence animals will be like this, but even humans who claim to be intelligent will desperately chase after some completely useless things, and then take pleasure in possessing them.

You Su put the stone tablet down and continued to explain why this couldn't be a trap:

"Regardless of whether someone could set a trap here, if a person of this strength really wanted to harm us, there was no need to go to such lengths. Nine years have passed, and the words carved with Xuanqi have not shown any signs of fading. The few strands of Xuanqi left behind by the casual touch have attracted thousands of evil spirits to scramble for them. The purity of the Xuanqi of the person who carved the words is the only one I have ever seen in my life.

This also surprised me even more. The purer the Xuan Qi, the more sensitive the evil spirit will be. He knew this and still went deep into the seabed. I'm afraid he was ready to die, but he is still alive... To him, we are nothing but ants. How can we talk about traps?"

Bai Ze nodded upon hearing this, his face full of admiration, "There really is such a powerful person..."

"Knowing that there were dangers all around, he still left a way out for future generations, even though it was very likely that no one would come here. This is truly a great deed."

You Su rarely admires someone so wholeheartedly. The chief elder is one of them, and this powerful man whom he only recognized through a stone tablet is also one of them.

"Hehe, that bad woman thought she would definitely die after tricking us down here, but she miscalculated!" Bai Ze's mood changed quickly, and he immediately suppressed his joy, "But how do we find the stone tablet he left behind?"

You Su put the stone tablet away and said, "It's very simple. Since this stone tablet can attract evil spirits to fight for it, then there is a high probability that other places where evil spirits gather also have stone tablets hidden."

"Then we will have to fight a lot of monsters like those with big eyeballs?" Bai Ze looked worried, "Can we defeat them..."

You Su chuckled when he heard this, and his smile was still reassuring, "I'm here."

Bai Ze smiled and put his arm around You Su, not wanting to be outdone, and said, "Then I'm still here."

You Su rubbed the girl's head lovingly. The outside world was full of dangers, and You Su didn't have much confidence in escaping. He was more of a step-by-step person. But now with the guidance of the way to survival left by this senior, his confidence increased greatly.

When the goal is no longer an empty talk but a real path, people will become more motivated.

You Su wished he could set off immediately and destroy this evil nest under the sea.
