Lu Mingshu entered Tianlun, and received a message: "Miss Lu, I have something important to tell you, please reply as soon as possible. Huai Zhongke."
She replied to the message, and not long after, there was a response from Huai Zhongke, and the two made an appointment to meet in Yishi.
Huai Zhongke didn't go to the tea stand, but found an empty room.
Looks like something really important.
As soon as Lu Mingshu came, he said eagerly, "Is there any progress on the matter of the wasteland?"
She shook her head.
Huai Zhongke said, "I have something to do. I can't make up my mind. I don't know what your opinion is."
Lu Mingshu raised his eyebrows.
Huai Zhongke spoke slowly.
He has been paying attention to the matter of the wasteland for not a day or two. A friend he met in Tianlun plans to open the wasteland in the near future, and he has been in contact with him a lot. He also hopes that the other party will be successful and give him more experience, so he helps everywhere, and the two are very close.
Not long ago, his friend was well prepared and planned to challenge again.
Who knows, Huai Zhongke couldn't contact him afterwards, no matter how much he left a message, he couldn't wait for a reply.
"How long?"
Huai Zhongke pondered: "It's been more than a year."
"It's not surprising, is it? This period of time is not too long for us." Didn't she also fall into a coma for two years last time
Huai Zhongke said, "It's not the same. Miss Lu, you should know that we leave messages to others, so we can know whether we succeeded or failed."
Lu Mingshu's complexion changed slightly: "Could it be..."
"Yes!" Huai Zhongke nodded heavily, "The reason why I decided to talk to you is because I failed to leave a message yesterday."
Lu Mingshu remained silent.
Failed to leave a message, does it mean that there is no such person? that means...
Neither of them spoke.
After a long time, Lu Mingshu asked: "Will there be any accidents during the challenge when you open the wasteland?"
Huai Zhongke shook his head: "I asked, many people were seriously injured in the challenge, Tianlun was able to rescue them in time."
So, the other party didn't open the wasteland and died of serious injuries
"Maybe it's just something else happened to him?" Lu Mingshu said, already thinking of the hunter in his heart.
Huai Zhongke smiled, and the smile was a bit ugly: "Miss Lu, I think you are trustworthy, so I asked you to talk about this matter, can you also be frank?"
Lu Mingshu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Sorry, I was perfunctory to you earlier."
Huai Zhongke sighed, and continued: "I have a terrible guess, do you want to listen?"
She nodded.
"As we discussed before, there are very few people who open the wasteland, and there is not even a single successful example. Do you think that those who successfully open the wasteland will disappear in the sky wheel?"
Lu Mingshu suddenly raised his head and stared at him.
Huai Zhongke smiled bitterly: "My friend is as strong as you, and I am very optimistic about him. For decades, he has been focusing on challenging the wasteland. If anyone can successfully break through, I can only think of him. This This time he was well prepared, I think the possibility is 70% to 80%."
"..."
Seeing her change of expression, Huai Zhongke asked: "Miss Lu, do you have any clues here?"
Lu Mingshu sighed slightly. The other party told her such important news, and she couldn't do nothing in return.
"I also have news here, which may be related to your news."
"Girl please tell me."
Lu Mingshu considered for a moment, then said: "I found the relics of several senior Tianlun, and found something from their notes."
"what?"
"They entered the cave and were being hunted down all the time."
Huai Zhongke was taken aback: "Is the news accurate?"
Lu Mingshu nodded silently.
Huai Zhongke's face was blue and white, and the cold sweat dripped down drop by drop.
Telling this news to others will only shock people. Huai Zhongke himself has speculated, which just gave him empirical evidence.
"Below the hole, there are countless cultivators corresponding to the sky wheel, but after entering the hole, the number drops sharply. You said earlier that it is because the hole pays more attention to privacy, but now it seems that there is another possibility."
"They are all dead." Huai Zhongke murmured.
Lu Mingshu nodded: "After entering the cave, there will be a big cleansing."
The two sat silently.
I really don't have the mood to talk any more, she said: "I think you need time to digest this news, let's get in touch again?"
Huai Zhongke nodded while wiping his sweat.
…
After leaving Yishi, Lu Mingshu didn't go out, but called Xun Zining directly.
Xun Zining came as promised, saw her sitting on the tea stand, and sneered, "You are obviously in Zhouliuzong, but you still want to meet in Yishi, do you want to hide it from several lords, or do you want to hide it from Xie Xingchen? "
Lu Mingshu glanced at him expressionlessly.
Xun Zining was taken aback by her pale face: "What are you doing? You were already as white as a dead person, but now you look more like a zombie!"
Lu Mingshu spit out coldly: "I have some news here, I haven't decided whether to let the lords know it yet, do you want to listen?"
Xun Zining said without saying a word, "Listen!" He would be a fool if he didn't listen.
So Lu Mingshu repeated what Huai Zhongke said.
"Huh?" Xun Zining pondered for a while before realizing, "You mean, if you open the wasteland, you will be targeted?"
Lu Mingshu nodded: "I was thinking about what these hunters used as a signal, why some people didn't meet them at all, and some people did. Now that I think about it, maybe the opening of the wasteland is a signal."
"..." Xun Zining was also sweating profusely, "Once the wasteland is opened, it will send a signal to the hunters, and they will come to hunt it down? No wonder, when I searched for news about the wasteland in Tianlun, I couldn't find No. Because most of those who knew about it have already been killed!"
"Even if he wasn't killed, he's being hunted down now, so how could he even think about mentioning this?"
Xun Zining pondered, "Doesn't this mean that as long as we don't open up the wasteland, we can avoid being hunted down?"
Seeing her mocking smile, Xun Zining was annoyed: "Am I wrong?"
"Yes." Lu Mingshu said indifferently, "But, if you don't open the wasteland, are you willing?"
Xun Zining didn't understand.
"As I expected, it's true. Only by opening the wasteland can we truly enter the world of the sky wheel, maybe the world with the sacred tree! The source of the power of the sky wheel is there, don't you want to know?"
"Of course!" Xun Zining blurted out.
"That's fine. We must open the wasteland, but now that we know it's a signal, we can make more preparations..."
She was fortunate that Huai Zhongke told her the news. She was not sure when the hunter would come, but now she finally had the possibility to set up an ambush.
The purpose of these hunters is not just to kill, but to use killing as a means of selection. Then, if she is Dongxu, the person who comes will not be Wuhuai. If there is Wuhuai setting up an ambush, the possibility of taking it directly is very high.
If one or two hunters can be caught, there will be more news to be ascertained.
