Chapter 2417 Testing each other
He Lingchuan nodded again. Seeing that he understood, the Blood Demon remained silent.
If we can't delay any longer, we shouldn't delay any longer; it's time to move on to the next stage. The construction of the new Panlong Secret Realm is about to enter its most crucial period.
At this point, Dong Rui asked him, "Is there anything else? Is there anything else you want to say?"
He Lingchuan suddenly spoke, asking the Spider Queen:
"Second Aunt, can you get in touch with Ling Jinbao?"
"No," Aunt Zhu said regretfully. "This secret realm has cut us off from all communication with the outside world."
"It's a pity, otherwise we could have had Ling Jinbao gather more intelligence for us, so we could better understand Shangguan Biao's intentions. I have a feeling that he has dug a pit here, waiting for us to fall in."
He Lingchuan's pronunciation was very clear; before Aunt Zhu could even reply, Dong Rui already understood:
"Got it!"
……
Ling Jinbao, who was hiding in the crack of the ancient wall, suddenly shuddered and his shoulders twitched.
Bao Chihai asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's alright, there's a really big mushroom here!" Ling Jinbao pointed to the corner, his tone a bit exaggerated.
There grew a cluster of colorful mushrooms, the smallest of which had a cap larger than a washbasin.
Ling Jinbao knew that it wasn't the mushroom that had grown bigger, but rather that he himself had shrunk.
The air here is damp, and mushrooms are growing in the corners where the sun doesn't reach.
Bao Chihai: "..."
What's so surprising? He'd seen mushrooms taller than a person before.
Ling Jinbao looked around and stroked his chin, saying, "It's a bit messy here."
Bao Chihai: "This is a corner forgotten by time. What it looked like before I moved in is what you see now. I'm too lazy to touch it."
“I thought you would modify them to make them more comfortable.” Ling Jinbao squatted down to examine a set of jars on the ground. Sure enough, the texture and style were very old, and they were obviously antiques. “You’ve stolen so many rare treasures before, don’t you like luxury and pleasure?”
Bao Chihai has been locked up here for a long time, huddled in a tiny crack in the wall every day. Doesn't he feel stifled?
Even ordinary people would voluntarily renovate their living space, right? Anyway, he didn't have anything else to do.
“If I could fix it, that would be fine!” Bao Chihai rolled his eyes. “I tried it as soon as I was locked up here. The room I demolished and altered today would be back to normal by the time I woke up tomorrow! You see, I can’t do whatever I want here.”
Ling Jinbao suddenly laughed and said, "Since you call yourself the 'Immortal Thief,' have you been out in the city at night?"
“Of course, but not at night.” Bao Chihai swung his leg. “This ghost town gets lively at night, with all sorts of demons and ghosts, and quite a few lonely souls like me. Hmm, I know what you’re going to ask. I’ve never been to the white house underground, and I haven’t been back to Duzhishan either. These are forbidden areas; if you get too close, even a lonely soul will be annihilated!”
Ling Jinbao shrugged regretfully.
In fact, the sudden sound of voices in his ear just now startled him, and he thought it was He Lingchuan and the others coming out of the secret realm.
But not.
The unfamiliar voice said to him:
"Elder Ling, I am General Hu Yi's companion. The Bao Chihai in front of you may be Shangguan Biao in disguise. Please test him carefully."
Tiger Wing General's companion? Ling Jinbao was slightly taken aback, and immediately remembered what Venerable Mingyao had said. He used the withered leaf butterfly to monitor the Panlong Ruins and discovered that two people and a spider had entered the Panlong Secret Realm.
However, only one person and one spider appeared later and cooperated with Lingshan to infiltrate Yujing City.
What about the other person?
Now he knows that the person has gone into hiding and is monitoring the entire area.
General Tiger Wing definitely needs a partner who can coordinate from the inside and outside and provide information.
Dong Rui's next sentence was also crucial: "I have a way to transmit the contents of your conversation to General Tiger Wing."
Ling Jinbao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy; he had been worried about how the intelligence he obtained from the outside world couldn't be sent into the secret realm.
Bao Chihai was just asking:
"Alright, now it's my turn to ask you. The ruins that Mother Earth is attacking also have some very special secret realms, right? Mother Earth wouldn't bother with ordinary ruins."
“Of course.” Ling Jinbao nodded. “I’ve even gone inside and talked to the people there.”
After saying that, he recounted his experience of entering the Panlong Secret Realm last time.
Bao Chihai listened intently: "There's actually someone who can communicate with you?"
"Of course! It was incredibly smooth and natural, just like real people. They were even fighting each other." Ling Jinbao recalled, "I didn't have a concept of it at the time, but now I think I probably entered a certain period of Panlong City's history?"
"What is the connection between Mount Ling and this Panlong Ruins? Why go to such great lengths?"
Ling Jinbao shook his head: "What Lingshan cares about is not the Panlong Ruins, but the Earth Mother's audacious provocation. Whether the Earth Mother attacks the Panlong Ruins or the Panshe Ruins, Lingshan must teach it a tough lesson. You've been in a sect before, so you know that face is substance."
Okay, Bao Chihai rephrased the question: "Since you are fighting because of this secret realm, do you know whether the master of this secret realm, or the guardian spirit, is a dead person who has become this realm through their obsession, or a natural spirit that has been formed over a long period of time?"
Ling Jinbao glanced at him: "What's the difference between the two?"
“Of course there are,” Bao Chihai said naturally. “I have also visited many ruins. Guardians that are transformed from undead often do not exist for long.”
"why?"
“Our strength is limited; it only goes out and never comes in, and one day it will be exhausted,” Bao Chihai said. “Many relics in this world have generated guardian spirits, but in the end, they quietly disappear.”
How can we avoid being annihilated?
“I think we need to replenish our strength. This is something that Lone Spirits will find very difficult to do.” Bao Chihai shook his head. “Your ruins have been targeted by the Earth Mother, so it’s not far from her exhaustion and capture.”
"Unless new power is injected?"
“This is just a guess.” Bao Chihai sighed. “There are too few guardian spirits of the ruins, so I haven’t been able to study them properly, and then I got dragged here.”
Ling Jinbao paused for a few moments before nodding:
"Actually, I've thought about these questions too."
Actually, someone was whispering a question in his ear.
"But Mother Earth can, right?"
"Can...what?"
"The Earth Mother can replenish our power to maintain the existence of the secret realm."
"Hmm?" Bao Chihai glanced at him, somewhat surprised by the angle of his question. "The Earth Mother has a physical form; she is not a guardian spirit."
“But as far as Jade Capital City is concerned, it is equivalent to the greatest guardian spirit, isn’t it?” Ling Jinbao added, “Otherwise, why would it need to devour so many secret realms? Isn’t it just to absorb power to replenish itself?”
“Oh…” Bao Chihai thought for a moment, “If you put it that way, it doesn’t seem wrong.”
