Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 79 Finding Clues
Wei Yunxi's words attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their inquiring eyes to Yunxi, waiting for her next words.

Mu Ningzhu's eyes lit up and she asked directly:

"Yun Xi, do you know why the snake eggs can't hatch?"

Yun Xi held his forehead and said:
"Some speculation."

"Is it convenient to say?"

Yun Xi organized his words and then spoke:

"The egg is not fertilized."

Everyone was puzzled after hearing this, and some people had already asked:

"Fertilization?"

"What does it mean?"

Wei Yunxi felt that it was a bit premature to explain this question at her current age, so she changed her approach and said:

“Before I entered the sect, I was a young lady of the Wei family. I had maids serving me. They were mortals and once told me that the eggs we eat every day in the mansion are laid by hens, and that hens will kick out eggs that cannot hatch, leaving only the eggs that can hatch in the nest.

These eggs are laid by hens and roosters, and only such eggs can be hatched."

Yun Xi didn’t know if he had explained it clearly, but that was the meaning anyway.

Mu Ningzhu reacted quickly. She said thoughtfully:

"Yun Xi, you mean that this three-headed snake's eggs were laid by itself, not by a male snake, so they can't hatch!"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Unless this second-level three-headed snake is hermaphroditic, its eggs, even though they have demonic energy fluctuations, cannot hatch. Mortals can only conceive after the union of yin and yang."

As the two asked and answered questions, everyone roughly understood the reason why the snake eggs could not hatch. However, after figuring it out, they were even more confused. How should they explain this to the second-level three-headed snake?
Qintong Shuang said with a bitter face:

"So what do we do now? Do we need to explain the situation to that three-headed snake?"

"cannot!"

"Of course not!"

"Don't!"

Mu Ningzhu, Yun Xi and Zhang Yan's voices sounded at the same time, but they all rejected Zhen Tongshuang's proposal.

The others also shook their heads in opposition, and Mu Ningzhu began to explain:

"If we don't tell them, we can still pretend to hatch eggs and buy time, waiting for Senior Brother Sheng and the others to rescue us. But if we tell them, I'm afraid we'll become food for the three-headed snake in the next moment."

After hearing this, Qintong Shuang pursed her lips, feeling that she had lost her usual composure, and simply kept silent.

Yun Xi could understand Zhen Tongshuang's feelings. After all, they had been locked up in this dark place for almost a month, living in fear every day, which would make anyone's mentality collapse.

Yun Xi turned to Mu Ningzhu and said:

"Uncle Mu, let's hold on a little longer. Senior Brother Long Daoyu hasn't been captured. He must have informed Uncle Sheng. Now we can only wait."

Mu Ningzhu nodded and signaled to everyone. The cave returned to silence again. Everyone held the snake eggs in their arms and closed their eyes to meditate. However, this time they no longer input spiritual power into the snake eggs. They only slowly replenished the spiritual power they had consumed.

Because the three-headed snake asked them to hatch eggs, it did not take away their storage bags. After all, the spiritual power in the cultivator's body cannot be output endlessly. When it is exhausted, it naturally needs to be replenished. The elixirs and spirit stones in the storage bags play this role.

Although the captured people had lost some elixirs and spirit stones in almost a month, Yun Xi believed that these people must have kept some trump cards and would not have used up all the life-saving items.

Yun Xi also began to meditate with her eyes closed, and practiced Qianying Fufeng's foundation-building technique. After an incense stick of time, she opened her eyes. She found that as the technique was practiced, pure spiritual power from the ground slowly entered her meridians.

Then she carefully released her spiritual sense and explored the entire dungeon bit by bit. Even if she was waiting to be rescued, she couldn't be too passive.

Because Yun Xi had wind spiritual roots, her spiritual consciousness relied on the wind to spread out, trying not to alarm her fellow disciples in the underground cave and the three-headed snake.

On the other side, Long Daoyu turned around and ran after releasing the distress talisman, fearing that he would be killed as well.

When Sheng Yuhong and his group saw the distress talisman exploded not far from them, they rushed to the scene of the accident in a flash.

Sheng Yuhong was the first to come to the running Long Daoyu and said:

"You were the one who placed the distress talisman." Long Daoyu saw that it was Sheng Yuhong who appeared beside him, and he immediately stopped and saluted respectfully.
"Uncle Sheng, I was the one who placed the distress talisman. Junior Sister Wei was just dragged underground."

Sheng Yuhong frowned and said:

"No need to be polite, just tell me what happened."

"Yes!"

Although he was a little excited in front of his respected uncle-master Long Daoyu, he also knew that time waits for no one, so he explained the situation in a few words.

"Are you saying that the junior sister was captured at the Fire Dragon Grass?"

"Yes, absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes that she was dragged into the ground by a snake's tail."

Long Daoyu immediately assured.

Du Yuling, a female cultivator at the early stage of foundation building beside Sheng Yuhong, guessed:
"Brother Sheng, could it be the snake we saw in the retrospective mirror?"

Sheng Yuhong rubbed his fingers and said:

"It should be. It seems this monster is very smart. It didn't show up when we explored the scene of the incident."

"With Senior Brother Sheng here, that three-headed snake won't dare to act rashly."

Long Daoyu immediately offered some compliments, but no one else objected.

Sheng Yuhong stared coldly and said:

"We must go back now and dig out that three-headed snake even if it means digging three feet deep into the ground."

"Yes!"

Long Daoyu agreed loudest, and the group returned to the place where the fire dragon grass was.

This time, without Sheng Yuhong's orders, all the disciples in the foundation-building stage released their spiritual senses and searched the bombed-out area inch by inch.

Because of the previous commotion, cultivators and monsters had already gathered around, but due to Sheng Yuhong's late foundation building level, they did not surround him.

"Brother Sheng, we've found something here."

Du Yuling was the first to speak up.

Sheng Yuhong flashed to her side and said:
"Junior Sister Du, what's wrong?"

Du Yuling pointed to the ground and said:
"The soil here is obviously looser than other places, and I smell the unique fishy odor of snake monsters."

Sheng Yuhong raised his hand, and a spiritual sword appeared in his hand. He turned his wrist and inserted the sword into the ground. After sensing it for a moment, he ordered:
"Escape underground. There should be a passage below leading to the lair of the three-headed snake."

"Yes, senior brother!"

After everyone agreed, they flashed and disappeared into the ground.

Not wanting to be left behind, Long Daoyu attached an earth escape talisman to himself and followed his fellow disciples into the underground.

Sheng Yuhong was quite capable. He used his spreading spiritual sense to find the underground passage where the three-headed snake had drilled out.

A group of six people plus Long Daoyu appeared in the passage a quarter of an hour later, and their appearance also alarmed the second-level three-headed snake.

The three heads opened their snake eyes at the same time, spitting out their tongues and leaving their nests.

"Brother Sheng, which way are we going?"

Du Yuling asked.

"Junior Sister Du, let's split up into two groups. Whoever finds something should notify the other group. We'll make plans after we reunite."

"it is good."

Du Yuling pointed to two junior sisters who were on good terms with her and walked in a direction. Long Daoyu followed Sheng Yuhong to the other side without hesitation.

A quarter of an hour later, Sheng Yuhong's team encountered a three-headed snake roaming in the dungeon.
