Chapter 2266 The Search Begins

I don’t know how long it took, but the flying boat stopped.

Zhou Shu called everyone together and said in a deep voice, "Based on the previous missions and the information left by the missing people, our current distance from Wufang City is the closest distance between the Hidden World and Wufang City. , you may encounter the hidden world at any time.”

Caiying frowned, "I don't quite understand."

Xiao Zhao seemed to be thinking, "Wufang City is the starting point, Feizhou is the end point, the distance between the two is the radius, Wufang City is the center of the sphere, and then draw a sphere. The hidden world is on the surface of this sphere, or outside the sphere. ?”

Zhou Shu gave a thumbs up and praised, "Xiao Zhao is right, that means we can start searching."

Jian Lao looked solemn, "This range is not small. If we want to search the entire sphere, with the speed of the flying boat, it will take thousands of years to complete the search."

Xiao Zhao immediately shook his head, "Jian Lao, you made a mistake in your calculation. It's not just a few thousand years? It's impossible for tens of thousands of years, otherwise the reward wouldn't be so high."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Yes, it's impossible to search the entire sphere, let alone the outside of the sphere. At this time..." He looked at Hanruo and said slowly, "Miss Hanruo, what do you think?"

"I……"

Hanruo kept his head lowered and did not raise his head at this time. He whispered, "I don't know, but if I get closer, I can sense the location of the hidden world."

Zhou Shu said calmly, "Is your talent a special perception? How close does it need to be?"

Hanruo raised his head, but still avoided Zhou Shu's eyes, and said guiltily, "I don't know either. I will definitely tell you if I sense it."

Jian Lao's expression changed slightly, "You...you can't help but talk nonsense, right?"

"Who said that? I have it. I can definitely find it."

Hanruo defended quickly, her words were very harsh, but everyone could feel that the more she spoke, the more she felt guilty.

Jian Lao shook his head unconsciously and said dissatisfiedly, "You are really harmful to people."

"Lao Jian."

Zhou Shu waved his hand, "Anyway, I can't count on you at all now, right?"

Judging from Hanruo's expression, Zhou Shu was 70% sure that Hanruo probably didn't have any special talent. It was just an excuse she came up with in order to leave Zhibaoxuan and come out to find Luo Xiping.

Without a helper, things would be more troublesome, but Zhou Shu considered that Han Ruo was unreliable and didn't worry too much.

Han Ruo hesitated and made a sound like a gnat, "It's not..."

Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "Just do it my way."

Jian Lao sighed slightly, "Zhou Shu, where do you want to start looking?"

Zhou Shu looked slightly condensed, "Start from the direction I'm walking in, and go around the Gangfeng Belt first."

"Gangfeng Belt?"

Jian Lao was startled for a moment and looked into the void, "You didn't tell me that I didn't even notice that there is a strong wind belt around here. Hey, why does it feel familiar?"

Zhou Shu said in a soothing voice, "We are passing by the Gangfeng Zone to the Brown Crystal Realm. I walked in this direction specially because I had a feeling that the Twenty-Four Thieves might have something to do with the Hidden Realm."

Jian Lao asked in surprise, "How can they be related?"

Zhou Shu said in a low voice, "According to Shouzheng, the Twenty-four Thieves have been active around the Immortal World for a long time and rarely go to remote areas. There is no news about them even in Crescent City. Why are they suddenly near Wufang City? And it’s not just once. Three hundred years ago, Shuang Sheng and Jing Zhe came to Wufang City. At that time, Shuang Sheng was caught and Jing Zhe escaped. Neither of them revealed the purpose of coming here, but it should not be for robbery."

Xiaozhao couldn't help but said, "If you want to rob it, you won't rob such a remote place. There are surprisingly few immortal jade, and there are many rich small worlds around the immortal world."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Yes, I think they are trying to find out information. Their target is Wufang City, and the same goes for the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes. The ransacking of the brown crystal world around Wufang City is a casual move. In fact, this is not The world around Wufang City was robbed for the first time, and a similar situation happened in the Mazhi world seventy years ago."

Jian Lao looked a little thoughtful, "Are they targeting Wufang City? Why?"

Zhou Shu shook his head, "It's probably a dispute between the Immortal City. It is said that the Twenty-Four Thieves can do anything, and they can also act as mercenaries for the Immortal City. All they need is to pay. The specific reason is not something we can know, and we don't need to think too much about it. "

Jian Lao nodded, "But even if the goal of the Twenty-Four Thieves is Wufang City, what does it have to do with the Hidden World?"

Zhou Shu said slowly, "This is something I am still considering. There is no specific answer, but I think that starting from this aspect, we may be able to find some clues."

Jian Lao seemed to have some realization, "Do they know about the Hidden World, or are their strongholds in the Hidden World?"

"Mr. Jian, do you think so too? I'm just guessing," Zhou Shu nodded lightly, showing a hint of relief, "I have investigated a lot of information, but there is no concrete evidence. The only thing that can be proved is that Wufang City I discovered that there might be a hidden world around me, and it happened to be three hundred years ago, when Jingzhe and Shuangsheng appeared in Wufang City, so this may not be a coincidence."

Caiying couldn't help but asked, "Could it be that they have been stinging for three hundred years? They are so insidious. What do they want to do?"

"Anything can happen in the universe, and I'm just guessing."

Zhou Shu waved his hand, "It's better to start from this aspect than to search aimlessly."

Jian Lao nodded, "That's true. The range is so large anyway. It's the same wherever you start looking. There's no difference."

Xiao Zhao thought for a while and said, "Then how should we find it?"

Zhou Shu frowned, looking serious, "I've said it twice."

"Xiaozhao is an idiot."

Caiying said with a smile, "I understand that even if it is a hidden world, the gravitational and repulsive forces between it and other worlds will always exist, and the Gangfeng will be born because of this. As long as it is a world, there will be no Gangfeng around it. , let’s just look for the traces of Gang Feng.”

Han Ruo whispered, "Whether it is the Gangfeng Belt that has been artificially destroyed, or the Hidden Realm is so special that no Gangfeng Belt has been formed, there will still be some traces. This is the only way to find the Hidden Realm that does not rely on luck."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Yes, several magic weapons for exploring Gangfeng have been given to you a long time ago. I will leave one person in the flying boat later, and everyone else will go out to search separately. Keep the same speed as the flying boat, and don't leave." The flying boat is too far away, no matter what we find, we must return to the flying boat quickly."

"I know, I'll go right away. I'll look at the left side of the flying boat."

Hanruo nodded immediately and flew out.

Caiying watched her leave and complained softly, "It's really unreliable, Zhou, you are so polite to her, why don't you scold her?"

"What's the use of scolding," Zhou Shu said slowly, "If things have changed, then adapt to the change immediately instead of worrying about why it changed and who is responsible. Besides, the root cause is me. I shouldn't have brought her out in the first place. , I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again next time.”

Caiying quickly shook her head, "No way, Zhou, you're not wrong."

"Don't worry about it, just do your own thing."

Zhou Shu smiled and shook his head, "Caiying, you and Jian Lao go to the right. I'll be watching from behind."
