Chapter 184: Don’t be afraid, I’m just here to empty the Skill Repository
In the underground tunnel, after leaving the treasury, Chu Chen asked, “Big Sister, where are we going now? Should we check out the treasure location we found earlier?”
His big eyes blinked, showing a hint of lingering excitement.
Roar!
The Two-Headed Little Pig also let out a dragon roar in agreement.
Chu Xin thought for a moment and shook her head, “No, we can’t just leave like this. That Big Liar deceived us for so long, just emptying the treasury isn’t enough to vent my anger. Besides, didn’t you hear? That Bad Woman wants to tear us to pieces, she’s too evil. So, we must take all their most precious things.”
“Okay, okay, okay, I like taking things the most, well, almost as much as grilled meat,” Chu Chen clapped his chubby little hands, excitedly.
Roar!
The Two-Headed Little Pig also let out a dragon roar in agreement, its two little pig heads swaying, looking somewhat impatient.
“Let’s catch someone and ask first.”
With that, Chu Xin waved her little hoe and started digging upwards.
“Okay!”
Chu Chen also waved his little hoe and joined the digging team, while the Two-Headed Little Pig waved its two little paws, digging the soil.
Puchi!
The tunnel broke through, and a ray of light shone down. Chu Xin poked her dust-covered little head out and looked around. She happened to see a patrol team riding fierce tiger demon beasts passing by not far away.
She retracted her head and stuck a talisman to cover the hole. After the patrol team passed, she quietly emerged, slapped the last person and his mount unconscious, and dragged them both into the tunnel.
“Little Brother, use formation stones to set up a formation to guard this hole, don’t let anyone in. Then kill that demon beast, but don’t make too much noise,”
Chu Xin said.
“Okay!”
Chu Chen nodded, threw out a few formation stones, and set up a formation outside the hole, similar to the one at the treasury. He then swung a blade of Saber Qi, killing the fierce tiger demon beast, and stored its corpse in his Spatial Ring.
Then he turned around and saw Big Sister Chu Xin sticking a Truth Talisman on the patrol disciple. He couldn’t help but ask, “Big Sister, will this Truth Talisman work on him? Will it be useless like it was on that Big Liar?”
Chu Xin paused for a moment, somewhat uncertain, and said, “It shouldn’t be, right? That Big Liar seems to have a high status. This kind of ability to ignore Saint-Level Truth Talismans and Oath Talismans, surely not everyone can have it. This is just an ordinary disciple, it should work.”
“I see,” Chu Chen nodded in realization.
Chu Xin then woke up the patrol disciple and asked, “What is the most precious place in the Cangzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion?”
“The Skill Repository!”
The disciple’s expression was dull, his eyes vacant, and he responded mechanically.
“Which direction?”
Chu Xin asked again.
The patrol disciple looked around but didn’t respond.
Chu Chen wondered, “Big Sister, did it fail again?”
Chu Xin thought for a moment, climbed up to the hole, and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she took the patrol disciple and flew up, asking again, “Which direction is the Skill Repository?”
This time, the patrol disciple turned and pointed north, saying mechanically, “Ten miles north.”
Chu Xin looked in the direction he pointed and muttered, “Ten miles? How far is that? Never mind, the Skill Repository should also have a protective formation. We’ll definitely reach it when we dig to the formation barrier.”
Then she looked at the patrol disciple and mumbled, “What should we do with this guy? If we let him go, he’ll inform them. If we take him with us, he’ll slow us down. Hmm, let’s just tie him up here.”
Thinking this, she waved her hand and threw out a few talismans, which turned into chains and tied up the patrol disciple. She returned to the tunnel, casually tossed him behind her, picked up her little hoe, and said, “Little Brother, dig in this direction!”
“Okay!”
Chu Chen nodded, and then the siblings waved their little hoes and dug furiously. The Two-Headed Little Pig hovered in the air, waving its two little dragon claws and digging the soil quickly.
Bang!
After digging for a while, a muffled sound came from under the little hoe.
“We’re here.”
Chu Xin’s eyes lit up. The only thing that could stop the Treasure-Digging Hoe was a formation barrier.
“Big Sister, the strength of this formation barrier is similar to the treasury’s. Should we break it directly?”
Chu Chen dug away the surrounding soil, touched the formation barrier, sensed it for a moment, and then turned to ask.
Roar!
The Two-Headed Little Pig let out a dragon roar, waving its two little dragon claws, looking eager to try.
“No, that will alert those bad guys. If a Martial Emperor comes, we won’t have time to empty the Skill Repository.”
Chu Xin shook her head and refused. Then she took out the formation compass, examined it for a moment, and pointed to the left, “Little Brother, dig in this direction.”
“Okay!”
Chu Chen waved his little hoe and dug with the Two-Headed Little Pig. Chu Xin held the formation compass and guided the direction.
“Stop! The weak point of this formation is right here.”
Chu Xin put away the formation compass and took out a talisman, sticking it on the formation barrier.
Buzz!
The talisman’s energy surged and continuously seeped into the formation barrier. After a while, a crack extended from the weak point of the formation barrier.
“Keep digging!”
Behind the formation barrier was still soil. This barrier was a sphere, completely enclosing the Skill Repository.
The siblings continued to wave their little hoes, digging through the crack. After digging a tunnel large enough to accommodate them, they passed through the crack and continued digging upwards.
Puchi!
After a while, the tunnel broke through. Chu Xin poked her dust-covered little head out and looked around. She found that there were many people reading books in the Skill Repository.
She quietly retracted her head and whispered, “Little Brother, there are many people in the Skill Repository. Let’s dig up the formation foundation treasures first, then use formation stones to set up a formation. We can’t let the sound get out, and we can’t let them out either.”
“No problem!”
Chu Chen nodded. Then the siblings took out the puppet rats and began to search for the formation foundation treasures. After finding the treasures, they dug their way over. Once the formation foundation treasures were dug up, the Skill Repository’s protective formation became ineffective.
“What’s going on? The formation suddenly disappeared?”
A white-haired old man was cultivating on the top floor of the Skill Repository. He suddenly sensed that the protective formation had become ineffective and stood up in surprise, wanting to investigate.
Buzz!
Just then, an even more powerful formation rose up, enveloping the entire Skill Repository.
“Not good!”
The Pavilion Elder’s expression changed. He reached out to tear through space, wanting to teleport out, but found that this space had been locked down, and he couldn’t teleport.
He opened the window, wanting to fly out, but he bounced back after hitting the formation barrier.
“Who is it? Show yourself.”
The Pavilion Elder roared angrily.
“Don’t be noisy!”
A childish voice sounded behind him. He instinctively turned around and launched an attack, but it was too late.
Chains crisscrossed, instantly binding him tightly. He couldn’t mobilize his True Qi or his power of Laws.
“Brat?”
At this moment, he finally saw the face of the attacker. It was a child about three feet tall, wearing a phoenix mask. His expression changed drastically.
Unexpectedly, the brat that the entire province was searching for had silently infiltrated the Skill Repository. What did he want to do?
Chu Xin condensed a giant hand, grabbed the Pavilion Elder, and brought him to the third floor of the Skill Repository. Looking at the astonished Provincial Governor’s Mansion disciples, she grinned and said in a childish voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’m just here to empty the Skill Repository, not to hit anyone.”
