Chapter 138 And this is what you taught me
They both finished their meal, but Xiahou Dun was still drinking.
"Senior, let's go to Wanghuling." Yuxi stood up and said.
Xiahou Dun reminded: "Remember to settle the bill."
Seeing them getting up and about to leave, Xiahou Dun suddenly added, "I hope you can come back alive."
Yuxi asked in confusion: "What does it mean to come back alive? Is this bandit leader very powerful?"
Xiahou Dun shook his head and explained: "It's not strength, it's cunning."
"I heard that their camp is underground, and the leader rarely comes out. If you want to find him, you have to go into the camp. There are many traps underground, and you will die if you are not careful."
Kai expressed doubt: "How do you know so clearly?"
Xiahou Dun smiled and said, "Haha, I know who issued this task."
"The husband of the water priest of Weidu - Cao Pi! His wife disappeared while out for fun, and he posted this task in this inn."
"And the bounty is 5000 gold coins."
Yuxi was shocked at first: "Isn't Cao Pi Zhen Ji's husband? Zhen Ji is actually a water priest..."
Afterwards, Yuxi cursed inwardly: "...This Zhao Yun is too ruthless! For a 5000 gold mission, he took a 4000 gold difference."
Xiahou Dun continued, "The people who picked them up died, and they were later picked up by the Dragon Mercenaries."
Then, Yuxi curiously asked Xiahou Dun: "With such a high price, why didn't you accept it?"
Xiahou Dun replied proudly: "I am not short of money! I like to challenge the strong, not to catch rats."
He laughed and challenged: "Hahaha, if you want to be buried together, you can go ahead and try."
Yuxi didn't care: "I'm not really afraid, anyway, there is a teleportation."
Kai said simply, "Let's go."
After paying the money, Kai took Yuxi all the way to Wanghuling and returned to where they came from.
The two searched in the ruins for a long time but could not find the entrance to the underground.
The sky gradually darkened and it was difficult to see anything without any light.
"It's getting dark, and the entrance is even harder to find."
He glanced at Kai who was still searching. Because he had been searching in the ruins for too long, Kai's hair and face were covered with a lot of dust.
"I suddenly regret bringing him here as a mercenary. Why do we have to make this money..."
But the next moment he immediately corrected his thoughts: "No, what am I thinking? Shouldn't I make money? It's just a little dust..."
A very strange feeling came over her, and Yuxi couldn't help but sigh to ease it.
"Ugh--"
The surroundings were unusually quiet, and his sighs could be heard.
Kai asked in confusion: "Why are you sighing?"
Yuxi smiled bitterly: "Because I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the mission on time today."
Kai frowned slightly and asked further: "Is it just because of this sigh?"
Yuxi thought for a moment and then responded, "Not entirely."
Then he shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because there's too much dust here. I can't breathe in the air and can only sigh..."
"Huh."
At this moment, a gust of fresh wind suddenly blew towards Yuxi's face, bringing him unexpected refreshment.
"Brother...what are you doing?" Yuxi looked at Kai in astonishment.
Kai smiled: "I'm helping you blow away the dust around you so that you can breathe."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Yuxi was amused by Kai's almost childish behavior and burst into laughter. She thought to herself, "What's this? He's just like a little kid, suddenly acting silly..."
After he finished laughing, Kai looked around, frowned slightly, and said, "Don't you think it's too quiet here?"
Yuxi nodded and agreed, "It's a bit quiet."
Kai asked in confusion: "This is not a canyon, how come there is an echo?"
There was a hint of confusion and curiosity in his tone.
Yuxi thought for a moment, then replied: "Echoes don't have to be in canyons, they can also be heard in very deep places..."
His voice became softer and softer, as if he was trying to explain this phenomenon.
Yuxi listened to her own echo, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind and she understood.
"It's pretty deep around here, so my voice will echo?"
His voice was full of surprise and excitement.
Yuxi couldn't wait to try it out and let out a crisp yawn.
"what…"
"Ha." x3
Following the guidance of the echo, he successfully came to a huge stone slab.
There was a semicircular hole under the stone slab, with faint light and stairs visible inside.
Yuxi clenched her fists excitedly and said excitedly: "The entrance is here!"
Kai also patted Yuxi's shoulder happily and praised: "You are so amazing. You can find the entrance in this way."
Yuxi smiled and answered modestly: "I didn't even notice the echo before, it was you who woke me up..."
Next, the two explored this mysterious underground entrance together.
Walk down the narrow and steep stairs that lead all the way to the underground.
At the end of the stairs is a wooden plank road with golden crystals inlaid on both sides, emitting a warm glow.
Yuxi stood on the ancient bridge and was surprised to find that there was a different world under the bridge, like an underground passage, with an astonishing depth.
Kai quietly reminded: "There are corpses under the bridge, stay alert."
Yuxi asked curiously, "There are corpses? Are there any mechanisms or traps?"
Kai nodded and responded: "To know for sure whether there is a mechanism, we still need to test it."
Then, he demonstrated his skills, and the arm blade on his arm instantly changed shape, and a blue arm blade flew out.
The arm blade circled around and returned accurately to his palm, proving that there were no traps or mechanisms around.
"There is no active mechanism." Kai looked at Yuxi.
"Then I'll try it too, to see if there's any mechanism that needs to be triggered."
Yuxi was eager to try and also planned to try out the mechanism that might be activated.
Kai asked doubtfully, "How are you going to try it?"
Yuxi laughed: "Frost Sword Light."
Then, a sword blade with shining cold light condensed in his palm and began to cut across the suspicious stone wall and floor.
After making sure there was no trap, the cold blade disappeared in the air.
"What kind of martial arts is this?" Kai asked doubtfully, "Why... does it look familiar?"
Yuxi explained: "This is not a martial art, it's magic."
"Besides, you taught me this."
