Shen Qiu looked at the two furious people and a smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Mivia also echoed.
"That's right. If you dare to deny my master's debt, I will definitely make sure you don't survive in the future."
"Bullshit, when did we start to default on our debts?"
Daankan replied with a sullen face.
"That's good!"
Shen Qiu replied with satisfaction.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Mivia was slightly startled and shouted.
"Sister, why are you here?"
When Shen Qiu heard Mi Weiya's words, he turned his head and saw Michelle Lin walking towards him with a heavy heart and a hint of worry in her eyes.
When Madeley saw Micheline, he immediately changed his expression and said.
"Miss Xilin, you're so kind to come. Please judge for us. Daankan and I came here to persuade Shen Qiu to leave as soon as possible, but this guy not only refused to leave, but also blackmailed us."
"Yeah, it's really too much."
Daankan immediately echoed.
Shen Qiu was speechless when he heard this. These two guys really took shamelessness to the extreme.
"Bah, do you have any shame? You were the ones who provoked me to fight, and now you're turning the tables on me?"
Mi Weiya was so angry that she was shaking all over, she never thought that people could be so shameless.
"Ms. Xilin, don't listen to what Mi Weiya said. I don't know what Shen Qiu has done to Miss Mi Weiya. Now she is on the other side."
Madeley quickly explained.
Just as Mi Weiya was about to lose her temper, Shen Qiu reached out to stop him, and then spoke to Madeli and Daankan with a smile.
"You are good at lying with your eyes open, but you may have forgotten that I have a video. Do you want me to show it to Miss Xilin?"
Shen Qiu was too lazy to waste time talking to these idiots.
"Humph, even if it's a video, it can be tampered with!"
Madeley replied directly in a cold voice.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Michelle said in a bad mood.
Seeing that Micheline seemed a little angry, Madeley and others shut up.
At this time, Michelle Lin calmed down her emotions and spoke to Shen Qiu in a gentle tone.
"Mr. Shen, we should treat you well, but as you can see, it is not very convenient here, so please understand."
"It's okay. I don't plan to stay. I just stayed to teach Mivia some fighting skills."
"Thank you!"
"Mivia, I'm leaving first."
Shen Qiu simply said goodbye to Mi Weiya and turned to leave.
When Mi Weiya saw Shen Qiu leaving, she became a little anxious, but she couldn't refute her sister, so she said to her sister.
"Sister, I'll see Master off."
After she finished speaking, she chased after Shen Qiu who was leaving without waiting for Michelle Lin to reply.
Shen Qiu was walking forward along the branches at this time, but soon he noticed that Mi Weiya was following him, so he asked as he hurried forward.
"Why are you following me?"
"Master, I'll see you off."
Mivia replied immediately.
"No need to send me off, just go back."
Shen Qiu simply responded and continued walking forward.
As a result, no matter how far Shen Qiu walked, Mi Weiya would follow him silently.
Shen Qiu turned around and said to Mi Weiya with a helpless look on his face.
"You don't have to follow me all the time. I'm not a child who doesn't even know the way! And if you want to learn thunder magic, when you return to the City of Stars, come directly to the Sun Umbrella Company to find me. I will teach you then."
After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Mi Weiya raised her head, took a deep breath, and said as if she had made up her mind.
"Master, since they don't like you, we won't join them."
"What are you going to do?"
"Master, how about we explore the ruins together as master and disciple?"
"Hey, hey, stop making trouble! They kept chasing me away because they were probably worried that I would steal their credit. If you ask me to explore the ruins at this critical moment, wouldn't that just confirm what they said? No, I still have to save my dignity."
Shen Qiu refused without even thinking.
"Oh! Master, you misunderstood. The ruins I mentioned were discovered by me. They have nothing to do with them, and they won't know about it."
Mivia quickly explained.
"Are you sure? Don't let them suddenly show up later?"
After hearing this, Shen Qiu still confirmed it with some concern.
"Yeah, I promise!"
Mivia replied confidently.
"If that's the case, fine."
Shen Qiu is actually quite interested in this world, so it would be nice to explore it now that he is here.
"Great, let's get going."
Mi Weiya was afraid that Shen Qiu would go back on his word, so she quickly grabbed his arm and left.
Shen Qiu followed Mi Weiya helplessly.
Mi Weiya then led Shen Qiu along the forked branches and walked in another direction, occasionally climbing up the vines to higher branches.
Shen Qiu kept pushing aside the lush branches and leaves. He raised his head and looked upward. Although it was daytime, the sunlight could not penetrate at all.
"This Eternal Tree is so lush and full of branches and leaves. How did you explore it?"
Shen Qiu chatted with Mi Weiya with great interest.
"Exploration equipment like drones don't work well here, and they are prone to collisions! In addition, many of the ruins' entrances are covered by branches and leaves. Therefore, all exploration here depends on mechanical crawlers and manpower."
"Mechanical crawlers are fine, but human labor is a struggle."
"Yes, the casualties were severe, but the rewards were also very generous. Master, any unexplored ruins here can produce rich resources. If you are lucky, there will be unexpected surprises! The atomic magic suit I am wearing was produced by the ruins of this world."
Mi Weiya said to Shen Qiu in a very good mood.
When Shen Qiu heard this, his eyes lit up and he became more interested.
"That's fine, the profit is so high?"
"Yes, but it is also extremely dangerous. We often suffer heavy losses when exploring ruins. But this time, Master is here, so it will definitely be okay."
Mivia said confidently.
"Don't be careless. Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll withdraw."
Shen Qiu was not blinded by greed and responded rationally.
"Uh-huh."
Mivia nodded heavily.
…
A few hours later, Shen Qiu followed Mi Weiya and climbed to an area with intertwined branches in the middle level of the Tree of Eternity.
There are tangled vines and branches everywhere.
“We’re here!”
Mivia said excitedly.
Shen Qiu couldn't see anything special at first glance. After all, places like this were too common in the Tree of Eternity.
But he still asked patiently.
"Where is the entrance?"
"Here."
Mivia then stepped forward and violently pulled away the disguised vines and branches, and soon a narrow tree hole hidden in the trunk was revealed.
"You've found such a hidden place, that's great!"
Shen Qiu couldn't help but praise.
"Hehe, it's okay, Master, let's quickly go in through this passage. Then we can follow the internal passage of the tree trunk and slide into the tree to reach the ruins."
Mivia said impatiently.
"Okay, I'll go down first, and you follow me."
Shen Qiu walked to the entrance of the tree hole and said to Mi Weiya.
"Okay."
Mivia nodded obediently in response.
Shen Qiu then crawled in and slid down along the passage in the tree hole, and Mi Weiya followed closely behind.
Swish~
Shen Qiu continued to slide inside the passage. It was very dark inside and he could hardly see his hand in front of him.
"Night vision mode on."
Shen Qiu's atomic magic suit automatically turned on, and his vision suddenly became clear.
He clearly saw that the passage was constantly tilting back and forth, and now they were like riding a roller coaster.
Ten minutes later.
Shen Qiu and Mi Weiya slid out of a passage one after another and landed in a relatively spacious tree cave.
There are seven entrances in the tree cave, and each entrance corresponds to a winding and dark passage.
"Where to go?"
Shen Qiu asked while looking around vigilantly.
"I don't know. After I found it, I didn't dare to explore it."
"Then let's try them one by one."
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"good."
Mi Weiya completely obeyed Shen Qiu's command.
Shen Qiu pulled out the Dark Abyss and led Mi Wei Ya into a dim passage. When entering, he drew a mark on the tree wall.
The passage was very quiet. Apart from the sound of Shen Qiu and the others walking, no other sound could be heard.
At this time, Mi Weiya nervously reached out and grabbed Shen Qiu's arm, completely changing her ambitious look before the exploration.
Shen Qiu couldn't help but glance at Mivia. It was obvious that she rarely explored ruins and had little experience. But that was normal. After all, she had been pampered since she was a child and there was no need for her to take risks.
"Relax."
Shen Qiu comforted softly.
When Mi Weiya heard Shen Qiu's words, her tense heart relaxed a lot.
The two explored further inside and soon came to a fork in the road. Shen Qiu made a mark and led Mi Weiya towards the left passage.
"Why does this feel like a maze?"
Mivia asked hesitantly.
"It does look like a maze, but it doesn't matter. As long as we mark it well, the maze is still easy to navigate."
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"Uh-huh."
Mivia nodded slightly.
…
A few hours later.
Mi Weiya followed behind Shen Qiu and asked puzzledly.
"Master, which channel is the correct one? We have been wandering around for a long time and have changed several channels."
"It should be soon."
Shen Qiu replied calmly, in fact, the exploration has been quite smooth so far, and we haven't encountered any monsters from beginning to end.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Shen Qiu felt.
At this moment, Mivia suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Master, please look ahead."
Shen Qiu looked in the direction where Mi Weiya's shout came from, and saw a five-meter-high wooden door in front of him.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Shen Qiu strode over.
The two men came to a closed wooden door with some strange pictographic patterns carved on it. On both sides of the door were two strange-looking human-shaped wooden statues. Both statues had cracks on their surfaces, which made their originally solemn expressions become extremely hideous and creepy because of the cracks.
Mi Weiya felt a little trembling in her heart when she saw this.
Shen Qiu did not push the door open rashly, but observed it carefully. Soon he found some complicated words on the pattern of the wooden door.
Shen Qiu raised his bracelet and scanned it.
"No corresponding data, unable to translate."
Upon seeing this, Mi Weiya immediately said to Shen Qiu.
"Master, I have the data for deciphering the language of this world. I will send you a copy."
Shen Qiu nodded. After receiving the data sent by Mi Weiya, he scanned it again and the translation popped up soon.
"Azfri."
Looking at the translated content, Shen Qiu stretched out his hands and pressed them on the thick wooden door, then pushed it hard.
Click!
The door suddenly opened slowly.
In an instant, the entire view became clear, and the ruins of a large village came into their sight.
The ceiling of the entire site is covered with lantern-shaped buds. When the buds bloom, green spots of light appear, which look like large green lanterns and are extremely beautiful.
However, as Shen Qiu and the others moved, a hollow sound suddenly came from their ears.
The big green lantern above my head suddenly dropped a large number of light spots, like fireflies.
At this time Shen Qiu immediately became alert to the falling creatures.
After seeing this, Mi Wei Ya hurriedly explained.
"Master, don't be afraid, those are called green ying, they are mild microorganisms, they are harmless!"
"Oh, then keep going."
Shen Qiu took Mi Weiya and walked forward carefully.
At this time, the Lvying that was floating down in front seemed to be frightened and scattered.
Mi Weiya looked around curiously and said to Shen Qiu excitedly.
"Master, this site seems to be quite large! Maybe we can find something good here. We are going to get rich."
"Don't just think about getting rich. Don't you think it's weird?"
Shen Qiu asked, narrowing his eyes.
"What's so strange about this? There are no monsters around here?"
"Look at those wooden houses. Aren't they all perfectly preserved?"
"It seems so."
"This means that the indigenous people here were not subjected to any violent attacks at all. Then how did they perish?"
"Master, don't scare me."
Mi Weiya thought carefully about Shen Qiu's words and suddenly felt uneasy.
"Why would I scare you? Just follow me!"
Shen Qiu took Mi Weiya into the village. Along the way, they saw various production tools placed outside the houses. Shen Qiu even saw some wooden tables outside the wooden houses with wooden round bowls and other tableware placed on them.
But the only thing I didn't see was a single living person or a dead body.
So Shen Qiu walked to a nearby two-story wooden house and looked at its construction craftsmanship and style.
Shen Qiu is sure that the Lan Suo civilization is developing very well. Although they look like primitive people, they may just be simply pursuing nature.
Shen Qiu pushed open the half-open door and walked in. Various wooden furniture in the house came into view. At the innermost part of the living room, there was a wooden statue of a god.
Mi Weiya and Shen Qiu carefully searched every nook and cranny of the wooden house.
Unfortunately, no corpse was found, but Shen Qiu did find an exquisite wooden box in the master bedroom.
Shen Qiu opened the wooden box and saw two P1 wood-type triangular gene modules placed inside. He said with a little surprise.
"Sure, I found two triangular gene modules right away."
Mivia didn't even look at it and replied without interest.
"It's no use."
"You don't want it?"
"don't want."
"Okay, I'll put it away then."
Shen Qiu put it away immediately.
"Master, let's go search other houses and see if we can find anything."
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu nodded.
So the two began to search one building at a time.
After several hours, the two searched all the houses in the village.
The entire village ruins were deserted. Apart from the fireflies, there was not even a dead body to be seen.
However, I did find dozens of different modules.
It really is as Mivia said, the relics here produce very rich products.
"Hey, I thought it was some high-level relic, but it turned out to be just an ordinary relic."
Mivia said with a somewhat depressed look.
"There are not so many high-level relics in this world."
Shen Qiu then comforted Mi Weiya.
"Well, although this relic can't produce anything good, it is well hidden. How about we use this relic as our secret base? Then you can teach me here?"
Mi Weiya looked at Shen Qiu with great anticipation.
"That's fine! I'll teach you here for a few days."
Shen Qiu thought for a moment and replied.
"That's great. Master, I'll go back to the base first. Otherwise, my sister and the others will be worried if I stay out for too long."
"Okay, go back."
Shen Qiu waved his hand casually.
"Okay, Master, see you tomorrow!"
Mivia then left happily.
Soon, Shen Qiu was the only one left in this huge ruins. He had nothing to do, so he walked around the ruins with his hands behind his back.
At this time, the green flying insects seemed to have gotten used to Shen Qiu's presence. They no longer avoided him and kept flying around him.
Shen Qiurao looked at these fireflies with interest and talked to himself.
"If Yun Xiaoxi came here, she would definitely like these fireflies."
Suddenly, the green insects flying around Shen Qiu scattered.
There was a hint of surprise in Shen Qiu's eyes, and then he felt something was wrong and looked around.
He was now in the center of the village. In front of him was an empty wooden platform and nothing else.
Shen Qiu then stepped back. When he stepped back a few meters, the green flying insects flew around him again, but once he walked forward and approached the wooden platform, the green flying insects scattered.
Shen Qiu then walked up to the wooden platform, he squatted down and carefully felt the platform.
As a result, he actually found a movable mechanism and tried to press it.
Click!
A wide entrance opened up in the cracked surface of the stone platform.
Shen Qiu walked to the entrance and looked down. A wooden staircase came into view. It was obvious that this passage should lead to a special area.
“I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected surprise.”
Shen Qiu said to himself.
However, Shen Qiu did not go down to explore, but lay down to rest. He planned to wait for Mi Weiya to come and then explore together.
After all, it was Mivia who brought him to this relic, and he had to explore it on his own first, so he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly when the time comes.
Although under normal circumstances, Mi Weiya should not care, but Shen Qiu feels that as her master, he should still lead by example.
…
The next day.
Mi Weiya ran back to the ruins excitedly, but the voice came before she arrived.
“Master!”
Shen Qiu smiled slightly and waited quietly.
Soon Mi Weiya rushed to Shen Qiu and asked with joy.
"Master, what will you teach me today?"
"I won't teach you today. Let's continue exploring."
"Ah? Haven't we finished exploring this place?"
"No, I searched again after you left yesterday and found a hidden entrance. But don't worry, I haven't gone down there yet."
Shen Qiu explained to Mi Weiya.
Mivia was also stunned and asked in surprise.
"Master, are you waiting for me to come before exploring?"
"Of course."
"Master, you are so kind."
Mi Weiya was also a little touched. It was the first time she felt valued, even though everyone was giving in to her and coaxing her.
That's just because of her identity, no one actually cares about her opinion.
Even though she was in charge of the escort of Abercrombie and Fitch's heart, everything had already been arranged by the family. It could even be said that she was just following the team.
"Okay, don't be so moved, let's go and see what's down there."
Shen Qiu waved at Mi Weiya and walked towards the wooden platform.
Mivia followed immediately.
Soon they arrived at the wooden platform. Shen Qiu walked down the wooden stairs first, and Mi Weiya followed closely behind.
The entire staircase is very deep, extending down at least several dozen meters.
When Shen Qiu and the other person walked down the stairs, they came to a straight passage with intricate vines growing on both sides.
"What is this place?"
Mivia asked in astonishment.
"I don't know. Let's go inside."
Shen Qiu took Mi Weiya and continued to walk inside, and soon they reached the end of the passage.
A large wooden door stood open.
When the two stepped through the door, they came to a square and extremely spacious basement.
A wooden altar is built in the center of the basement.
The walls on both sides are covered with vines.
"This is an underground altar, but it doesn't seem like there's anything there?"
Mivia glanced around and said.
Shen Qiu frowned.
"Search it!"
"Uh-huh!"
Mivia nodded in response.
Shen Qiu first walked towards the left wall. Along the way, all he saw was green vines and more vines. There was nothing else at all.
Time passes by little by little.
A few minutes passed and still nothing happened.
Mi Weiya said as she followed Shen Qiu in boredom.
"Master, there is nothing here, so why not forget it? How about you teach me the thunder method?"
“No hurry.”
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"Okay, ouch!"
Mivia pouted and replied, but at this moment, she accidentally tripped over the vines extending from the wall and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Mivia was quick enough to grab the vine on the wall and pulled it, barely stabilizing her body.
"That was close. I almost fell down."
"Good fall."
At this time Shen Qiu said in a deep voice.
"Ah? Master, what are you talking about?"
Mivia asked in surprise.
"Look at this."
As Shen Qiu spoke, he stretched out his hands, grabbed the vines on the wooden wall, and pulled them open.
I saw countless vines entwined around a petrified man. The man's face was lifelike and he looked very pious.
Mivia was immediately startled.
"This, this couldn't be the missing Lan Suo..."
“It should be.”
"Wait, Master. What about the other bodies?"
“They should all be here.”
Shen Qiu then walked forward, violently pulling away the covering vines, only to see petrified corpses popping out one after another.
Many of these petrified corpses still had ornaments such as necklaces hanging on them.
Mivia's face turned pale as she looked at the densely packed petrified corpses.
Shen Qiu continued to pull away the vines that were blocking the view with an expressionless face, observing the exposed corpses to see if there was anything valuable on them or any special clues left behind.
"Master, what happened to these people?"
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling."
Shen Qiu felt that the petrification of these people was probably related to the Eternal Tree.
"No."
Mivia's eyes were full of anxiety.
"Of course I'm just guessing."
Shen Qiu stopped suddenly when he said this.
Mi Weiya followed Shen Qiu's gaze to the wooden wall, and saw a middle-aged woman who was turned into a petrified woman holding a child, frozen there, entangled in vines.
The child seemed to be holding something in his hands.
Shen Qiu reached out and carefully took the thing from the child's hand. To Shen Qiu's surprise, it was a rough wooden sign.
A towering tree is carved on the front of the wooden sign.
Shen Qiu then turned the wooden sign over and saw some crooked words engraved on it.
Shen Qiu scanned the words on his bracelet.
"Father, mother said you went to the Tree of Speaks Sky. Can you come back and take us? The Eternal Tree is too high. Mother and I can't climb up..."
After reading this translation, Shen Qiu fell into deep thought.
Just then Mivia seemed to have discovered something and shouted.
"Master, please look behind the altar."
When Shen Qiu heard Mi Weiya's words, he looked over and saw something under the tree wall behind the altar.
So he walked over, grabbed the vine and pulled it hard.
Suddenly, a mountain of covered corpses appeared. There were so many of them that even Shen Qiu felt a little scared.
When he examined them carefully, Shen Qiu found that these bones were in strange shapes and obviously not from humans, but from monsters.
Mivia also noticed it. She walked closer curiously and squatted down, wanting to pick up a bone to take a look.
"Hey, they are really monster bones. Why are there so many monster bones here?"
Just as Shen Qiu opened his mouth and was about to return to Mivia, the tree wall in front of the pile of bones suddenly squirmed, and red wooden tentacles extended out and attacked Mivia.
"careful!"
Shen Qiu swung the Dark Abyss Knife and swept it over fiercely!
Snap!
In an instant, all the tentacles that attacked were cut off and fell to the ground.
Then Shen Qiu pulled Mi Weiya back, and the tentacles also retracted after Shen Qiu and Mi Weiya retreated.
"Master, what's going on?"
Mivia was also startled by the sudden attack.
"I think I know what's going on. The reason why there are so many piles of bones here is because they were brought back by the natives of Lan Suo from hunting. The tentacles extending from the tree walls will decompose and absorb them as nutrients."
"Oh, I see. Then who do these tentacles extending from the tree walls absorb the nutrients they provide?"
"I don't know."
Although Shen Qiu said he didn't know, he had a bold guess in his heart.
Could these nutrients be provided to the Tree of Eternity
"Okay, then Master, please leave here. It seems that there is nothing special here."
Mivia asked, looking around.
"Wait, Mivia, look at the tree wall, is there a fruit?"
Shen Qiu had sharp eyes and saw that on the top of the tree above the corpse there was a dark red fruit as big as a fist. This fruit was originally hidden by the leaves on the vine.
But it was revealed because of Shen Qiu's strong pull.
"Fruit, could this be the legendary eternal fruit?"
When Mivia saw the fruit, she immediately rushed over excitedly.
Shen Qiu grabbed Mi Weiya's arm and said to her.
"What are you doing?"
"Picking fruit."
"With your mediocre skills, I'll do it!"
"good!"
Mivia nodded quickly.
Shen Qiu's whole body instantly flashed with purple lightning. He activated the Instant Thunder Shadow and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.
Before the wooden tentacles on the tree wall could react.
Shen Qiu picked up the fruit and placed it next to Mi Weiya.
"Master, can you give me the fruit?"
Mivia asked impatiently.
Shen Qiu was also very curious. She had searched for so many modules before, but she had no interest in them at all. Why was she so excited about a fruit
However, despite his doubts, Shen Qiu still handed the fruit to Mi Weiya.
"for you!"
Mi Weiya immediately took out an exquisite box and packed it up carefully, then said to Shen Qiu.
"Thank you, Master. I will compensate you for what you want."
"No, it's just a fruit. I'm not interested in it, but there is one thing I'm curious about."
Shen Qiu really didn't have much interest in fruits or anything like that. He had already eaten enough random things.
"Master, you say."
"We were exploring the ruins, but you were not interested in anything else but this fruit. Why is that?"
"Master, I'm actually exploring the ruins not for any gain, but to find the legendary fruit of eternity."
"What are you looking for that for?"
"It's for my father."
"Your father?"
"Yes, my father's health has always been very poor, and his organs have been failing. He has undergone many surgeries and replaced many organs over the years, but they only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. His health has become even worse."
"So your father wanted to transplant monster organs?"
"Well, now the worst has happened. My father's heart has failed again. The heart from Arbok was specially transported here for my father, but that heart is too evil and horrible."
Mi Weiya did not hide it from Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu was also very surprised when he heard this. Organ failure throughout the body
He felt that Heluga's illness seemed to be in line with Qi Lin's research direction, and the genetic drugs produced by Qi Lin might be effective.
It’s a pity that I drank all the genetic medicines myself.
The only thing left was what Angie wanted to use, and there was no way he could take it out.
Seeing that Shen Qiu didn't speak for a long time, Mi Weiya thought he didn't believe it, so she quickly spoke.
"Master, I really didn't lie to you."
"Well, but I'm curious about one thing. It makes sense that your father needs Abercrombie's heart because of organ failure. Why would the Priory of Silence want that heart?"
"It's like this. The leader of the Priory of Silence has a serious heart disease and is in urgent need of a heart transplant. That's why the Priory of Silence has set its sights on the Aberk heart."
"I understand, but how can you be sure that this fruit is the fruit of eternity?"
"Our family has been pioneering this world for so long, and we have never seen any fruit. This is the first fruit we have seen, so the probability is very high!"
"I see."
"Master, please come back with me. With this fruit, my father will be very happy. Who will dare to say anything bad about you then?"
"Forget it, go back by yourself, and don't mention me. You found this fruit by yourself."
"Ah, Master, are you going to wait for me here?"
"No, I'm almost leaving. See you in the City of Stars later."
Shen Qiu then said to Mi Weiya.
"All right."
Although Mi Weiya was a little reluctant, she could only nod in response obediently.
…
Not long after, Shen Qiu and Mi Weiya crawled out of the tree hole and then parted ways.
