Chapter 193 The Mysterious Artifact
Chapter 193 The Mysterious Artifact
"Brother Xu, do you mean that the You family will be bad for us?" Zhao Feier asked worriedly after everyone listened to the abridged version of Zhan Wushuang's narration.
"Probably not. If they really want to attack us, we won't be able to fight back." Zhan Wushuang shook his head. The mask made it impossible for others to see his true face.
"Let's stay here for a day and see what happens. Protector Fei'er Li, you guys should go back to your room and have some rest. You've been tired all day!" Zhan Wushuang himself felt a little tired, and the monster's self-detonation gave him a headache.
On the other side, in Yu Chong's study.
"Is everything arranged?" You Chong asked the tribesman beside him.
"Master, they have all eaten. But they all went to the same room." Youxun bowed.
"Well, go down and remember what I said!"
After they left, Zhan Wushuang lay on the bed and communicated with Dian Wei and Xu Chu's souls.
"Xu Chu, Dian Wei, it seems that there is indeed something wrong with You Chong. We have to deal with him carefully." Zhan Wushuang looked solemn.
"Don't worry, lord. With us here, we won't let that old man succeed." Dian Wei said in spirit.
"It's just that I don't know what the artifact in the underground secret room is, and I want to find out." Xu Chu continued.
"Are you sure?" Zhan Wushuang asked worriedly.
"My lord, they are practicing martial arts and their combat power is strong, but they don't have the fist soul power of a boxer. They shouldn't be able to detect my presence." Xu Chu continued: "As long as I act carefully, there shouldn't be any problem."
Zhan Wushuang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Then you should be more careful. If there is anything wrong, withdraw immediately."
Xu Chu responded, turned into a wisp of green smoke and quietly left the room. Zhan Wushuang lay on the bed, still feeling a little uneasy.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhan Wushuang waited anxiously...
"My lord, don't worry. Our souls are symbiotic with yours. If there is any danger, you can teleport us into your body with just a thought." Dian Wei's soul appeared and sat on a stool, looking at Zhan Wushuang and said.
"Well, I know, but I always feel that You Chong seems weird." Zhan Wushuang sat on the bed, facing Dian Wei's soul.
"My lord, lie down and rest for a while! It's okay."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. By the way! Dian Wei, when will you and Xu Chu be able to stay so far away from me?"
"I don't know either. I only know that as long as your strength continues to improve, we can do more!"
The two talked about Dian Wei's special ability, that is, Dian Wei can sense the energy of the artifact. This is also a new ability of Dian Wei's soul awakening. If it weren't for this visit to Youzhong's family residence, even Dian Wei himself would not have discovered it.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight noise, and Zhan Wushuang suddenly woke up. Just as he was about to get up, he heard Dian Wei's spirit calmly say, "My lord, it's Brother Xu Chu, he's back."
Xu Chu's spirit passed through the door and transformed into his original form. He said excitedly, "My Lord, I found some clues. There seems to be a mysterious force flowing in the underground secret room. I also heard a conversation between You Chong and someone. They seemed to be planning something big, which seemed to be related to the artifact, but I didn't hear the details."
Zhan Wushuang frowned, and his expression became more solemn.
"Then we must find out their plan as soon as possible." Zhan Wushuang stood up and paced back and forth thinking.
Dian Wei frowned and said, "My lord, will this mysterious power pose a threat to us?"
Xu Chu pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, I think we can find a way to explore the underground secret room again, maybe we can find more clues."
Zhan Wushuang nodded and said, "Yes, but we must be more cautious this time. Xu Chu, you should take a rest first. You have used a lot of divine power this afternoon. When you recover your spiritual power, go investigate again."
Xu Chu responded and entered Zhan Wushuang's body. Dian Wei also entered Zhan Wushuang's body. Zhan Wushuang lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.
As dawn approached, there was a sudden noise outside, and then someone knocked on the door and said, "Master Zhan, the master wants to see you."
Zhan Wushuang suddenly woke up, his heart trembled, and then he said: "I know, I'll be there right away."
Zhan Wushuang straightened his clothes, secretly guessing You Chong's purpose in looking for him at this time.
Zhan Wushuang opened the door and followed the visitor to You Chong's study. Along the way, he kept an eye on the surroundings, and his vigilance remained undiminished.
When they arrived at the study, You Chongzheng was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. When he saw Zhan Wushuang come in, he turned around with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Kid, I'm sorry to bother you so early because I have something important to discuss with you." You Chong said slowly, and motioned Zhan Wushuang to sit down.
Zhan Wushuang's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface and asked, "Master You, what is so urgent?"
You Chong smiled, walked to the desk and sat down, then said, "Child, to be honest, I found some unusual signs about the underground cave, and I think it is necessary to discuss it with you."
Zhan Wushuang was shocked. He didn't expect You Chong to bring up this matter on his own initiative, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
You Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was choosing his words carefully. After a moment, he said, "I went to the cave again last night and noticed that a mysterious force there seemed to have increased in strength and seemed to have some connection with the outside world. I'm worried that this will bring us unexpected trouble."
Zhan Wushuang wondered what Yu Chong was up to and whether what he said was true or false. But at this moment, he could only follow his words and said, "Then according to Patriarch Yu's opinion, how should we deal with this?"
You Chong pondered for a moment, then said, "I think we should go deeper into the underground cave as soon as possible to find out what's going on, so as to avoid any more trouble at night."
Zhan Wushuang's eyes narrowed as he pondered You Chong's intention, but he still nodded and said, "Since the Patriarch has proposed this, I will naturally go and take a look. But it may not be simple, so I need to think about it carefully."
You Chong smiled, with a barely perceptible cunning flashing in his eyes, "Of course, but I think we should do it without further delay. We should prepare today and set off early tomorrow morning."
Zhan Wushuang agreed and then left the study. After returning to the room, he immediately communicated with Dian Wei and Xu Chu's souls.
"Why did you suddenly propose to go deeper into the underground cave? I wonder what your intention is." Zhan Wushuang frowned.
Xu Chu thought for a moment and said, "My lord, I think there must be something fishy going on here. It might be a trap."
Dian Wei's spirit also echoed, "I think so too. That old man definitely has bad intentions."
"But if I don't go, it will arouse his suspicion. I have no choice but to go, I'm worried that everyone will be in danger!" Zhan Wushuang was a little conflicted.
"My lord, let's take advantage of the situation and act accordingly after we get there. If there really is a conspiracy, I will kill that old guy even if it means I will die!" Xu Chu said in a deep voice.
"Don't be so desperate in the future. Don't be impulsive at any time!" Zhan Wushuang shook his head. Why does Xu Chu always look like a desperate man?
"Well, my lord, someone is coming, it's Miss Zhao!"
