Chapter 399 Let’s Speak Frankly

Ghost Chicken did not directly answer Turley's question, but released its own pressure and checked the location of Yuni.

This succubus has completely withdrawn from the range of Ghost Chicken's investigation, and it seems that she has no ability to eavesdrop.

"Symbiosis..." Ghost Chicken chewed on the name and looked at Turley with disdain, "So you are one of those rats in the gutter."

"Even if you are bigger than others, you are still a rat."

Turley chuckled twice and was not angry.

"The world does have some misunderstandings about the Symbiosis Society, I don't blame you." Turley grabbed the strange device beside him, observed it for two seconds, and put it back in place.

"If Lord Ghost Chicken doesn't mind, I would like to ask you to help send these artificial crystal cores to where they should go."

Ghost Chicken was stunned and almost couldn't answer.

"Is this thing an artificial crystal core?" Ghost Chicken lowered his head and looked at the artificial crystal core in his hand, and asked in surprise.

He had a very detailed understanding of the intelligence of the Demigod War.

It is clear that the artificial crystal core played a role in that incident.

But the device in front of him is very different from what appeared in the intelligence.

Traditional artificial crystal cores only have an energy level of about the fourth-order crystal core, but the artificial crystal cores in front of him have reached about the sixth order, and some can even reach the eighth order.

"Let's talk while walking." Tu Lei jumped off the carriage and waved to Gui Ji, "Youni can't buy us too much time. After we leave, she still has to clean up the traces here."

"As a gentleman, you still have to consider the lady, don't you?"

"It's easy to say, but you are not the one doing the work." Although Gui Ji complained, his body was still very honest.

The pressure of the Venerable level enveloped the whole scene in an instant, and the artificial crystal cores in the carriage were captured in the air and gathered together.

Tu Lei and Gui Ji walked one after the other.

Hundreds of artificial crystal cores, like ownerless ghosts, floated behind the two.

Tu Lei stopped on a piece of wasteland outside Fengdu City.

The weeds around had grown to the knees, and there was no place to provide shelter except a pile of disorderly placed gravel of different sizes.

Gui Ji looked at Tu Lei in confusion.

Tu Lei took out a high-level crystal core with a faint fluorescent light from his arms, searched around the wasteland, and finally saw the direction clearly.

He placed the crystal core at his feet, used the supernatural power in his body, and released it in a special way.

In just a few breaths, a clearly visible magic circle on the ground was formed.

As the energy continued to be injected, a barely audible "click" sound suddenly sounded beside the two.

A tunnel entrance about two meters high slowly revealed its true appearance.

Tu Lei waved to Gui Ji, signaling him to follow.

He was the first to step into the tunnel, exposing his back to Gui Ji without any defense.

Judging from the difference in strength between the two sides, if Gui Ji wanted to kill Tu Lei, it would only be a thought.

But he also wanted to know what exactly Tu Lei and Yuni were doing. When they received the goods, it was Ghost Chicken who did the work of destroying the bodies. This was the first time he could see the final storage location of the artificial crystal core.

Ghost Chicken gritted his back teeth, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and followed.

As the two entered, the entrance of the tunnel was closed again, and everything returned to normal.

The inside of the tunnel was dark and deep, and the air was filled with a faint smell of mold and soil.

The four walls were made of solid bluestone, and occasionally there were fine cracks between a few stones. It was vaguely visible that the sparse grass roots outside were tenaciously penetrating the stone, adding a bit of vitality to this claustrophobic space.

Tu Lei led the way with a flashlight that he had prepared long ago, humming a little tune along the way.

As they went deeper and deeper, the top of the tunnel gradually lowered, and Ghost Chicken had to lower his head slightly to avoid touching the moss-covered top of his head.

As the two continued to go deeper, the structure of the tunnel became increasingly complex, with forks and hidden mechanisms beginning to appear. Ture shuttled through it with ease, obviously very familiar with this place.

He occasionally stopped and tapped a few times on an inconspicuous stone wall, which would trigger a mechanism, and a stone door would slide open silently, revealing a passage leading to a deeper place, and then quickly closed again, as if no one had ever passed through.

Deep in the tunnel, the temperature gradually dropped, and a faint chill began to permeate the air.

The two passed through the intricate tunnel and finally came to a spacious secret room. In stark contrast to the dimness and humidity outside, a soft light overflowed from the inside, dispelling the darkness on the two.

Inside the secret room, the space was open, the dome was high, and the walls were inlaid with artificial crystal cores, extending upward in a spiral like a honeycomb.

From time to time, the artificial crystal cores would emit a faint glow, like a sleeping giant, breathing slowly.

"Just put these artificial crystal cores there." Toure pointed to the blank area at the bottom of the secret room.

Gui Ji waved his hand, and the artificial crystal cores behind him were like obedient Psyducks, one by one, lined up and embedded in the blank area.

"Click"

The last artificial crystal core was also embedded in the wall. The number was just right, not too many, not too few, just enough to fill the entire secret room.

"This... should be right below Fengdu City, right?" Guiji had a good sense of direction. Even after turning countless times in the dark secret room and extending hundreds of meters downward, he could still sense the approximate direction.

"Yes, I had already started operating this secret room before Fengdu City fell."

"I dare say that even if the old city lord Cui came back, he wouldn't be able to find this place."

Tu Lei raised his chin with a hint of boasting.

"So... did you bring me here today to find a burial place for yourself in advance?" Guiji's voice gradually became colder, and the murderous intent on his body spread undisguisedly.

No matter what Tu Lei's back-up plan was, at such a close distance, Guiji was confident that the person who would die first would definitely be Tu Lei.

Tu Lei ignored the naked threat and said calmly, "I am not afraid of death, but I cannot die now."

"The reason why I told you the most important secret is to show my sincerity."

"You can rest assured that what is said here will never be known by a third person except you and me."

Ture did not even mobilize the supernatural power in his body, and there was no sign of resistance at all. He looked at Gui Ji and put away all his smiles, and said with an extremely serious expression.

"Let's speak frankly..."

"Master Gui Ji..."

"You are an undercover sent by the military marquis to the demon clan, right?"
