the gray-haired man paused when he mentioned the earth snail.

what surprised him was that this group of people seemed to have known about it long ago and did not seem too surprised.

“you guys … do you know?”

an xiaorou rolled her eyes and said unhappily, ” “why do you care so much? continue! don’t waste our time!”

the gray-haired man suddenly had many vicious thoughts.

in the end, he looked at the terrifying claw bear with its fangs exposed and replied honestly, ”

” an ancient species of earth snail. it regards this building as its territory and will attack all intruders. ”

” and our boss is leading the other team members in an attempt to capture it. ”

“how dare you provoke an ancient species of this level?” jiang feng frowned. who is the strongest in the team?”

” it’s our boss. he was promoted to a mystical general two months ago. ”

the corners of the gray-haired man’s eyes trembled slightly. he suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said without revealing his voice, ”

” however, he doesn’t have a complete pet yet … the earth snail is his target prey. he wants it to be his third pet … ”

” as for the capture … it’s mainly because the snail has fought with some monster … ”

” it’s injured, very seriously injured. it’s already in a weak state, so we have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

he got to the bottom of it.

the information that everyone wanted to know was almost there.

“i’ve said everything i need to say, can you let me go now?” the gray-haired man asked carefully.

bai wushang looked at xue zilin, eager to see how he would deal with this matter.

he had already made his oath, so it should have a certain impact on him.

there would be negative effects if one were to go against it deliberately.

however, obediently letting the enemy go was a huge hidden danger. it was uncertain when it would erupt one day and kill them.

never underestimate anyone.

especially for someone like him who licked his blade all year round, even if he had sworn a poison oath, bai wushang would not believe a single word he said.

“let you go? of course you can.” xue zilin shot him a glance.

the gray-haired man’s heart skipped a beat, and his dark face was filled with vigilance.

the other party’s agreement was a little too straightforward!

was he going back on his word?

but that shouldn’t be the case. based on his feelings, the opponent’s soul power aura wasn’t stable enough. it should be very close to when boss had just broken through.

this kind of new mystic general would be one of the best in shanhai academy.

a similar oath was actually of limited use to him. after all, no matter how much he lived, the space for him to grow in this life was already limited.

the gray-haired man did not expect him to be able to break through to the next major level!

however, for these elite students, if they went against their own will, the difficulty of breaking through in the future would increase.

compared to a nobody like him, would he be willing to do this?

the gray-haired man couldn’t figure it out.

xue zilin’s face was calm, and he said lightly,

“you think i’m going back on my word?”

“no, since i’ve made a promise, i’ll agree to it.”

” but the premise is that we have to make sure that what you said is true after we come out of this building. ”

“then, you’re really free.”

the gray-haired man’s expression suddenly changed.

his chest heaved up and down violently, the meridians on his neck bulged, his eyes fixed on xue zilin, his anger uncontrollable.

“you … you guys …”

“bang!”

sobina kneed and a hand chop easily knocked over the gray-haired man.

then, he took out two pills, one black and one purple, and stuffed them into his mouth.

the copper-skinned goat raised its horns and was about to charge, but the dreadclaw bear smacked it and it fell to the ground, unable to get up.

” these two medicines, one to suppress soul power and the other to put him into a deep sleep, can ensure that he can not move for a day and a night. ”

sobina explained and fed the goat a muscle paralysis potion.

jiang feng and xue zilin took off each other’s storage rings, communication talismans, armors, weapons, and equipment.

then, he took out a special rope and tied the man and the beast up tightly, before throwing them into a big hole that the dreadclaw bear had dug.

he sprinkled a handful of insect repellent powder and covered it with a stone as a simple cover. he had completed the basic protection operation.

“he has done his part. the rest will depend on whether he is telling the truth or not.” xue zilin said frankly.

jiang feng spat and said in disdain, ”

” hey, look at his expression at the end. he was so embarrassed that he turned angry and flustered. ”

“we might believe most of what he said, but he’s definitely trying to fool us …”

the others didn’t comment.

no one would be stupid enough to believe the gray-haired man’s words.

” let’s go. forget everything he said and keep your guard up. ”

“then, we’ll go find the head of the wild dogs and act according to the situation.”

after a short rest, he would treat and take medicine.

everyone adjusted their state of mind, and under xue zilin’s lead, they walked into the entrance of the crystal beetle.

as soon as he entered, he passed through a dark passage and saw a door of light.

the open corridor was thirty to forty meters wide and nearly a hundred meters high.

the ceiling was filled with a row of luminous stones, which were shining brightly and unusually dazzling.

other than that, the corridor could be said to be a borrowed area, and there were very few places to stay.

there were debris and debris everywhere, and the colorful scene stretched to the end of his sight.

bai wushang looked at a few large objects with recognizable outlines.

he could barely recognize that the fragments on the ground were probably sculptures such as embossed, wax figures, and sculptures, all of which were engraved with zergs of different forms.

there were ceramics, crystals, and jade.

unfortunately, it had been destroyed by something.

a work of art that should have been exquisitely carved and unique had lost all its value.

xue zilin’s eyes wandered, the walls on both sides were covered in cobweb-like cracks, and there were even two or three places with gaps that were as wide as several people.

this also led to the entire corridor being connected to other spaces.

the group explored a few areas.

the interior of the crystal building looked like a palace.

all kinds of decorations were beautiful, even if they had been destroyed by the years, their colors were no longer bright.

however, it could still be seen that the workmanship and materials of many things were not rough. they were very detailed.

there were corridors, halls, and countless rooms of various sizes, all connected together.

the common characteristic was that the degree of destruction was extremely serious, and there were almost no items for sale.

“eh?”

in a corner where the light was not very bright, bai wushang suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were a little sticky.

he lowered his head to take a closer look and saw a pool of milky white mucus.

the sticky liquid was almost dried up, and it was shiny, extending from the ground to the wall beside it, all the way to the ceiling.

a guess appeared in bai wushang’s mind, and he continued to move forward.

as expected, he could more or less see similar traces on the road after that.

” this is the special mucus left behind by the earth snail after it moves. it helps it crawl and increases its movement speed. ”

” the mucus also has a smell that humans can’t smell. when weak creatures smell it, they don’t dare to get close at all. this is also one of the methods the earth snails use to divide their territory. ”

bai wushang thought to himself, and his expression became more and more vigilant.
