Luo Shu shook his head speechlessly, with a thought, brought Xiao Qing out from the space, "Lead the way! Or you won’t get a single one!" This greedy little guy needed a lesson or it would really get carried away.
Xiao Qing lowered its head in grievance and touched Luo Shu’s foot with its tail to please him, "Master!"
Luo Shu snorted and turned away from it.
"Master, I was wrong! I only want one, really just one is enough." Xiao Qing was getting a bit anxious. What if the master didn’t give it any?
Luo Shu’s lips curled into a slight smile as he glared at Xiao Qing, "Then lead the way already."
"I’ll lead the way right now, Master, you really have to give it to me, Xiao Qing can get stronger and help you fight bad guys." Xiao Qing looked at Luo Shu with an ingratiating expression.
Luo Shu glared at it impatiently, "So much nonsense, hurry up and lead the way!"
"Oh!" Xiao Qing quickly scurried ahead to lead the way.
Luo Qianyu paused for a moment when she saw Xiao Qing suddenly appear and felt the Spiritual Energy emanating from it, realizing it wasn’t one of those snakes from the deep pit. Then seeing the interaction between Luo Shu and it, she immediately understood what was going on. It didn’t cross her mind that Luo Shu had actually raised a Spirit Snake.
With Xiao Qing’s guidance, Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu quickly found a corner with a hidden raised stone.
"Master, open this mechanism and you will see the exit. Master, you promised to give me a Spirit Stone, you must not forget!" Xiao Qing reminded anxiously.
"Got it!" Luo Shu shook his head with a smile, reached out to pick up Xiao Qing, and put it back into the space.
Luo Qianyu pressed the mechanism at that moment.
With a booming sound, the nearby Bronze Coffin shook, then began to slowly sink, and the previously closed area slowly opened again.
Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu exchanged smiles, "Let’s get out!"
The workers, under Wei Xiao’s direction, worked enthusiastically but still occasionally glanced at the cave entrance. The bosses had been inside for nearly an hour, did anything happen to them? It was said that many Ancient Tombs had mechanisms.
"Look, the bosses are coming out!" The worker who first saw Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu climbing out of the cave shouted excitedly.
At the same time, all the workers turned their gaze toward Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu, who had just climbed out of the cave.
"The bosses are amazing, those black smokes didn’t hurt them at all."
"Yeah, the bosses are really extraordinary people, no wonder they were able to save the citizens of Cloud City."
"Everyone work earnestly! With such bosses, we won’t be at a disadvantage." The workers were more motivated than ever, looking at Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu with admiration and respect. After this, the status of Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu in their hearts rose another notch.
As Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu came up, the previously disappeared green stone slab reappeared in its original position as if it had never moved.
Luo Qianyu bent down and pressed the mechanism from when they went inside. Luo Shu had just told him that Xiao Qing said this mechanism could only be activated once; activating it again was the destruction key, making everything in the Ancient Tomb disappear instantly.
To prevent anyone from thinking about tampering with this Ancient Tomb, he naturally had to destroy it all. After all, their factory was being built here, and if people kept coming to dig up the tomb every few days, when would their factory ever be completed?
As the mechanism was pressed, a rumbling sound began, and the ground started to shake violently.
"What’s happening? Is it an earthquake?"
"Don’t move, squat down fast!"
The workers thought it was an earthquake, each terrified, squatting and holding their heads on the ground, not daring to move, looking fearfully at Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu, hoping they could provide some reassurance.
"Don’t be afraid, everyone! This is the sound coming from the collapse of the Ancient Tomb below, it will be over soon," Luo Qianyu loudly announced to everyone. At the same time, he was informing them that the Ancient Tomb below had disappeared.
The shaking lasted seven or eight minutes before it stopped, and the hearts of everyone finally relaxed as they looked again at the spot where the cave entrance had been, finding that not only was the entrance gone but also the previous green stone slab had shattered into several pieces.
Originally, several workers had harbored thoughts of making a fortune out of this, but now they completely abandoned those ideas.
Luo Shu stayed at the construction site for a while and, seeing no area needing his help, told Luo Qianyu he was heading home.
Upon arriving home, Luo Shu immediately immersed his consciousness in the space.
"Xiao Qing! Xiao Qing!" Luo Shu called twice, and seeing no response from Xiao Qing, he knew it must have already taken a Spirit Stone to cultivate.
He opened the small wooden box and indeed found one Spirit Stone missing, shaking his head with a wry smile. That fellow must have been worried he wouldn’t give it the Spirit Stone, so it secretly took its own share first.
Reaching into the wooden box, he took out a Spirit Stone and held it in his hand. Luo Shu closed his eyes and began to focus and calm. Grandfather told him if he was lucky enough to encounter a Spirit Stone, this method was the best way to cultivate.
