Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 51 Best and Worst Case Scenario
Where is this? Why is it so dark? Wu Su moved his fingers slightly in the darkness. Unexpectedly , this subtle movement suddenly awakened the woman next to him who was also a little drowsy.
Junior sister Yao Ji.
However, at this moment, he felt a severe pain in the back of his head, and his memory was extremely vague. He only vaguely remembered that he and his junior sister Yao Ji entered the "Demon Cave" to be punished, and then seemed to have encountered some monster. He could not remember anything that happened after that.
Looking at the darkness before my eyes, could it be that I am still in the 'Demon Cave'? Where is the monster from before?!
"Yaoji, what about the monster from before?" Wu Su suddenly regained consciousness and frantically grabbed her hand in the darkness, but she calmly pulled it away. "Brother, don't you remember? You were knocked unconscious by the monster's sudden attack, and then it took the opportunity to escape."
Relying on the fact that Senior Shan Yang had tampered with Wu Su's memory before, Gong Lili was able to tell lies without changing his expression or heartbeat.
A long time had passed by now. After the half-orc Shan Yang suddenly attacked and knocked Wu Su unconscious, he reached a secret agreement with Gong Lili and then quietly left to live his carefree life. After all, he had been locked up in such a dark cave for hundreds of years and had already felt suffocated.
But Gong Lili didn't dare to go out with him. Firstly, it would be embarrassing to leave her unconscious senior brother alone to enjoy herself. Secondly, she had actually enjoyed herself freely before and had explored the legendary Tianxuan Secret Realm, the most mysterious of the Shamo Clan, under Shan Yang's guidance.
According to Shan Yang, it is a magic weapon that can be used to deal with all the elders of the Shamo tribe.
It is said that it was a treasure that was passed down secretly by Kamui to the chief wizard of Shamo, because an old fox like Kamui could not have absolute trust in anyone. Although he could control the great elders of Shamo, he was afraid that one day they would unite and do harm to him, so he also passed down secretly to the chief wizards from generation to generation an object that could restrain the elders of the Shamo tribe, just in case.
The great elders also knew about this matter, but no one knew what the object was, nor how Kamami was passed down to the chief wizards. Therefore, the mysterious treasure also became a means for Chief Wizard Shamo and the great elders to check and balance each other.
However, when the object was passed down to Shan Yang's generation, because Shan Yang was also a rebellious person and not an obedient character, he was a little cunning and secretly hid the thing in his body. That's how he managed to escape the killing of those Shamo elders. Because when they were about to take action, Shan Yang also spread the word that the thing had been in his hands all the time, and if they were to die, they would all die together. Although those Shamo elders were afraid of Jian Yi, they were more afraid of death, so they took the initiative to let Shan Yang go, but imprisoned him here, and even concealed it from Jian Yi.
Of course, they also searched Shan Yang and forced him to confess, but Shan Yang was also a ruthless character, with an attitude of "If I'm forced into a corner, I'll die together with you", and the elders were helpless with him, so they hid that thing from under the noses of the Sha Mo elders.
And that mysterious object has been buried here with Shan Yang for hundreds of years.
At this time, Yinglili gave him back his freedom. There was no use for him to keep the object, so he simply gave it to Yinglili.
It was a palm-sized scroll made of colorful colored glass. It was called a scroll because it looked like two pieces put together, like an open page of a book, and it could be closed like a page of a book. However, there was nothing written on the scroll, just like a wordless book from heaven. The monk was completely confused after reading it.
Ping Lili had also asked Shan Yang how to use this thing. Shan Yang shook his head and said to her in a mysterious tone, "I don't know either. If I knew, I would have used it long ago. I wouldn't have been trapped here for so many years by those old bald donkeys."
At this time, the glass scroll was quietly hidden in the lapel of Ying Lili's clothes. She thought that although she didn't know how to use it now, she might have a chance to find out in the future. This journey of time travel was indeed fruitful. Not only did she find the hiding place of Yao Ji's soul, but she also got such a magic weapon.
Moreover, the magic weapon used to deal with the Great Elder of the Shamo Clan is not only aimed at the four uncles. Even Senior Brother Wu Su is probably among them. Of course, if possible, Ying Lili does not want to be an enemy of Wu Su after returning.
Perhaps he had not expected that he would be so lucky, so he had gained a lot after traveling through time for a day, and his heart was immediately relieved. That was why Gong Lili could accompany Wu Su to take a nap here so calmly. As for Wu Su, because Shan Yang had tampered with his memory before he left, he could not remember the encounter with Shan Yang. He only had a vague impression of encountering monsters after entering the cave. After Gong Lili's eloquence, she pointed to a pile of monster corpses that she had burned to ashes with flames. Wu Su reluctantly believed Gong Lili's lie that he had encountered a few monsters and had been dealt with by his senior brother before.
However, Ying Lili had no intention of hiding the secret realm of Tianxuan behind the stone gate.
So, when Wu Su looked at the slightly opened stone door with curiosity and called out, "Junior sister, look! What is that?", although Ying Lili pretended to be surprised, she was actually not curious at all.
Shan Yang had taken her into the Tianxuan secret realm once before. The stone door was indeed not something that anyone could open at will, but Shan Yang had lied before. Maybe he had been able to open it before, but now, at least at this moment, the only person in the entire Xuming world who could open the stone door was Gong Lili.
In fact, as soon as Ying Lili saw the pattern on the stone gate, she had already understood it in her mind. This stone gate was almost the same as the trial gate that she opened when she awakened Jianyi. She even learned it by herself. Without Shan Yang's guidance, she attracted the Netherworld Fire and opened the stone gate directly, which stunned Shan Yang.
The so-called Tianxuan Secret Realm within the stone gate is actually just a secret room specially used for the chief wizards of Sha Mo to practice. It displays countless cultivation insights, magic books and elixirs left by the chief wizard of Sha Mo, as well as countless ten-thousand-year-old Xuan crystals, just in case.
Of course, that "what if" was prepared for Kamae. If it weren't for the fact that Yao Ji might need it in the future, Gong Lili would have destroyed those ten thousand year old black crystals long ago.
For Ying Lili, she has no interest at all in the cultivation and comprehension of the magic books of the chief wizard Sha Mo. You know, she has inherited the legacy from her master Xuan Yue in Kamaya, and she has not yet fully understood "Lian Ruo". How can she have the time and energy to ponder these things that she thinks are not worth mentioning? She feels like she has returned from the Five Mountains and doesn't want to look at any other mountains.
She put a few books on magic in her arms, ready to study them slowly when she had free time. She was a little interested in Sha Mo's magic, but she had even less interest in elixirs. This body belonged to Yao Ji, not hers, so no matter how many tonics she took, it would be useless.
However, Gong Lili was very curious about how Wu Su would react to the Tianxuan Secret Realm. He was indifferent before because he didn't believe it at all. But now that the Tianxuan Secret Realm was right in front of him, how would he react?
This was why Yinglili had deliberately accompanied Wusu to sleep in front of the stone gate. She was actually waiting for him to wake up and discover this mysterious and mysterious realm. She felt she didn't understand Wusu's true nature, and facing these treasures, which at least the Shamo people dreamed of, was a chance to thoroughly understand him.
What would he do? Pinglili followed Wusu silently, watching him slowly approach the stone door, carefully push it open, and then instantly become overjoyed...
"Yao Ji, this is the Tianxuan Secret Realm! If I'm not mistaken, this is the legendary Tianxuan Secret Realm of our Shamo! I've heard the elder teachers mention it before, a secret room that only the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe can enter! It's said that there are countless tomes of enlightenment left behind by past lives here! It seems like we've turned a disaster into a blessing!" Wu Su's voice sounded extremely happy. The corners of Ping Lili's mouth curled up slightly, pretending to be a little surprised, and hurried to greet him: "Brother, what is the Tianxuan Secret Realm? Can we go in?"
Wu Su was slightly startled, and just as he was about to step in, he paused slightly, frowning slightly, as if thinking seriously for a moment: "We didn't open this door, we just stumbled upon it by accident. It shouldn't be too much to go in and take a look, right?"
Ping Lili raised her eyebrows inadvertently. It turned out that Wu Su was not completely a blockhead. He was quite good at making excuses at this time.
But what would his reaction be when he saw those precious tome and insights? Would he keep them for himself, share them with Yao Ji, or simply remain unmoved? Ying Lili knew that facing such extreme temptations was the true test of human nature.
That's right, Yinglili was making a final test on Wusu, testing how sincere he was to Yaoji, or testing how much weight Yaoji held in his heart. Only in this way could she make a more favorable judgment on the future situation, or make a decision, whether to define Wusu as an enemy or a friend.
In fact, Ping Lili had already made the worst plan in her heart. If Wu Su was tempted by profit or had any ill intentions, then she would have to take the initiative and get rid of him here to prevent future troubles!
However, deep in the heart of Ping Lili, there is still a small expectation. If possible, she hopes that this senior brother will always be on her side.
