TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Failure

Gu Tangyue wore a mournful face, “Wuu, if only we had dug a little deeper that day, maybe that thing would have been buried in the soil!”

It was all their fault for only having food in their eyes. Every day they opened their eyes, they were just digging up those sweet potatoes, and didn’t think to look around and see what was causing the abnormality, sigh!

Xie YunChuan felt the faint aura remaining in the air and soil, moist and saturated, refreshing and nourishing. Just this little bit left allowed Xie YunChuan to clearly feel his skin expanding, his blood flowing, and a vigorous vitality in his pulse.

Looking at the messy and barren land, Xie YunChuan said in a low voice, “Digging deeper wouldn’t have helped.” That thing wasn’t in this soil.

Those auras seemed to actively burrow into Xie YunChuan’s body, allowing Xie YunChuan to perceive them. Following the direction of the aura’s gradual increase, Xie YunChuan felt its original location.

Gu Tangyue curiously asked, “How do you know it wouldn’t have helped?” Now that the thing was obviously gone, could Xie YunChuan even know where exactly it had been before?

As soon as she thought this, she saw Xie YunChuan heading towards the deep forest as if he had a goal. Good heavens, he wouldn’t really know, would he?

Xie YunChuan didn’t answer her, only walking forward on his own.

Gu Tangyue and the others quickly put down the useless dead branches and leaves in their hands and followed Xie YunChuan.

About two kilometers away from the sweet potato field, Xie YunChuan stopped.

Gu Tangxi and the others stepped forward to take a look. Before them was a small, bottomless pool. The surface of the pool was only about one meter in length and width. The water in the pool was clear and flawless, sparkling and reflecting the mottled shadows of the leaves.

This water was even cleaner than the water they drank at home!

However, in the depths of the clear and spotless water, nothing could be seen. There was only a quiet and deep blackness, which inexplicably gave people a sense of fear of being swallowed into it after looking at it for a long time.

Gu Tangxi felt like she was about to be sucked in if she looked any longer, so she quickly looked away.

Xie YunChuan seemed to not have that illusion, his eyes fixed on the deep pool.

Gu Tangxi turned her head back and realized, huh? Was she the only one feeling dizzy and scared? Why were the others still staring motionlessly?

She didn’t want to admit that she was so useless, seeing a pool of water that gave her a mental demon.

She spoke up, breaking the strange silence, and said, “Damn, how could there be a pool of water here, I didn’t even notice it before!”

Judging from Xie YunChuan’s appearance, this should be where the treasure was located. And getting closer, Gu Tangxi and the others also felt the spiritual energy aura that had not yet dissipated from the pool’s mouth.

Xu Yuzhe said, “So, is it a Water Spirit Crystal Core?”

No wonder Xie YunChuan was able to lead them to this place. Xie YunChuan was a water-type ability user, so his energy perception of the Water Spirit Crystal Core was naturally much stronger than other ability users.

No one answered this question, but everyone tacitly accepted this fact.

Gu Tangyue murmured, “Why is the Water Spirit Crystal Core here, while the sweet potato field we found is growing so vigorously so far away from here?”

Gu Tangxi said, “It’s simple, although the Wood Spirit Crystal Core is a magical thing, it can’t create something out of nothing, it just allows existing things to grow more vigorously and quickly.”

There must have been sweet potatoes there originally, at least a small clump, otherwise, how could they grow out of nowhere?

Just like all the plants within a large area around, they were originally there. Now that the Water Spirit Crystal Core has been taken away, they are just missing a nutrient solution to nourish them, which doesn’t affect their normal survival.

Gu Tangyue said in a low voice with a lost expression, “We were almost lucky.”

She didn’t know if they should call this luck or misfortune. The good thing was that in this vast forest, they happened to encounter this small corner. The bad thing was that in this small corner, they happened to miss this not-too-big pool.

Xie YunChuan stretched out his hand and absorbed all the remaining spiritual energy. It seemed that the person who took it was not a water-type ability user, otherwise, they would not have left such heavy traces.

Retracting his palm, Xie YunChuan said calmly without showing any emotion, “Let’s go.”

Gu Tangxi said, “Where to? Are we chasing them?”

Looking at the spiritual energy in the pool that hadn’t dissipated, the person who took the Wood Spirit Crystal Core must not have gone far. They could chase after them to kill and steal the goods.

Don’t talk to her about morals and ethics, it’s the end of the world, who still has that stuff? Just try to stay alive and wait until the world is peaceful again.

Xie YunChuan said, “I can’t sense where those people are.” He didn’t know if they were just lucky or if they knew some news and came prepared.

Gu Tangxi wilted, “Oh!” She thought Xie YunChuan could know a general direction. She had the heart to do evil but no opportunity to do it. The first time she wanted to be a robber, it failed before it even started.

A group of people were a little depressed, and the atmosphere was low and dead for a while.

Not far away, Luo Shuyou suddenly patted Xie YunChuan and pointed in one direction, “ChuanChuan, go here, YouYou wants it.”

Gu Tangxi was puzzled, “Huh? Wants what?” This was so vague, what did he want?

Xie YunChuan immediately changed direction, “Then let’s go this way.” He understood, there was something Luo Shuyou wanted over there. No matter what it was, as long as he wanted it, Xie YunChuan would go and find it for him.

Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue had no objections. They had agreed when they formed the team that they would listen to Xie YunChuan. They were just an attachment, as long as they could level up under Xie YunChuan’s wings, have food and drink, and live well.

Xu Yuzhe didn’t understand. This was in the deserted forest, it was best not to wander around and lose direction.

After observing these two days, he was sure that Luo Shuyou was a mentally abnormal person. He wasn’t discriminating against Luo Shuyou, nor did he underestimate him, but with so many normal people, listening to a senseless “child” guiding the direction was a bit too hasty.

Xu Yuzhe euphemistically said, “It’s easy to get lost in the forest, it’s better not to wander around.”

Gu Tangxi indifferently said, “It’s okay, it’s not a big deal, at most, we’ll just take a few more days to detour, it’s not like we haven’t detoured before.”

Xu Yuzhe: “Huh?”

“Ahem! What I mean is… um, listening to Xie YunChuan is always right, he has good luck. Unlike us, who are so unlucky.”

Almost exposed her shortcomings.

Ahem! Just kidding, Xie YunChuan is someone with the aura of a big shot, how could anyone get lost and pick up an Ice Spirit Crystal Core? There was no way, the heavens wanted to fulfill him, they should just follow obediently and pick up some scraps, which would guarantee that they would do better than others.

This time it was just because Xie YunChuan wasn’t there to guide them, look at his appearance, if he was there, how could he let others take the Water Spirit Crystal Core, he would guarantee that those people wouldn’t even see a shadow of it.

Xu Yuzhe: The problem is that now we’re listening to Luo Shuyou!

Forget it, he would just follow. He was someone who hadn’t even officially joined the team yet, he had no right to speak. Anyway, with Gu Tangyue around, even if they wandered around here for ten days and a half, they wouldn’t starve to death. It was the end of the world, just living was enough.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Luo Shuyou suddenly stopped again, anxiously wanting Xie YunChuan to hug him, “ChuanChuan, hug, run quickly, my little ball is going to run away, wuu!”

It was really a bit difficult to walk while holding Luo Shuyou’s hand. Xie YunChuan had to carefully look after him so that the branches and weeds didn’t scratch him, and walking wasn’t as fast as running while carrying him.

Looking at Luo Shuyou’s anxious appearance, Xie YunChuan squatted down and carried him on his back and ran, thinking: What’s going on? The thing that YouYou likes can run?

Wasn’t Little Ball the name YouYou gave to Little White? He saw Little White enter YouYou’s body with his own eyes, it couldn’t be Little White.

Xie YunChuan thought of the previous Wood Spirit Crystal Core and Ice Spirit Crystal Core being spherical in shape. Could the little ball YouYou was talking about be the Crystal Core? And it could move, was it the group of people who took the Water Spirit Crystal Core?

Even he, a water-type ability user, couldn’t sense the exact direction, how would YouYou know?

Too many questions couldn’t be answered. Xie YunChuan could only suppress the confusion in his heart and speed up running in the direction Luo Shuyou pointed. He would know when he caught up.
