Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 831 - 416: Today the Firefly Spirit Seeks Its Village (Part 3)
"No, where did you learn this word?" Zhang Ze had a bad feeling.
"Picked it up from a book." Big Head Cai's stupid hair lit up, transmitting the memory over.
Looking at the pirated booklet, half-soaked with rainwater, appearing in front of his eyes, Zhang Ze chuckled lightly.
"Figures."
Although the printing quality was poor, the book's title was quite clear.
"My One Hundred and Eight Girlfriends"
The author was self-evident.
Due to it being a pirated copy, the booklet wasn't complete, only containing Chapter 7, and because of water damage, only the first half.
[Chapter 7, Lady Blossom Rides the Purple Gold Spear Backwards, Officer Leopard Enters the White Tiger Hall by Mistake]
Fortunately, it was only that much, sparing Big Head Cai from seeing [Chapter 40, Liang Shanbo Sisters Raid the Execution Ground, White Dragon Temple Gathering Little Silver Crawfish]
Looking at Big Head Cai's innocent eyes, Zhang Ze couldn't help but give himself a light slap.
'I deserve this, these Big Head Cai are still just kids… No, the one to blame is the piracy, how can this bleak place like Chang State have pirated copies?'
As Zhang Ze was filled with guilt, Li had already finished a bowl of pigfoot rice, wiped his mouth, and asked.
"What have you guys been talking about? What's this 'fire seed' thing?"
"See for yourself." Another strand of stupid hair extended from Big Head Cai's head towards Li.
Li used the stupid hair to wipe the oil off his hands.
Connection established, Zhang Ze and Li saw the image recorded risking life and death by this secret investigative officer.
...
Well, maybe not really risking life and death.
Because Zhang Ze thought those white creatures didn't even notice it, and if it weren't so nervous, maybe it could have simply taken the fire seed away.
But as Big Head Cai's first-person perspective advanced, Zhang Ze realized he was wrong, stealing the fire seed would be challenging.
The thing referred to as the fire seed wasn't a cube, nor a flame, but a person.
Shi Xiu.
The Senior Brother Shi Zhang Ze had been longing to find.
In the northern part of the silver-white abandoned capital, within that great pyramid, Shi Xiu sat cross-legged inside a hexagonal crystalline chimney, neither unconscious nor excessively restrained, he silently looked up at the broken star map covering the pyramid's dome.
Pale white Big Head Cai creatures, occasionally emerging from various places, carried various items, engaging in seemingly pointless yet deeply meaningful tasks for them.
A promised ally had become a captive.
It was uncertain what black technology those white Big Head Cai discovered, starting with draining, consuming one Tribulation Crossing per hundred kilometers.
Observing Shi Xiu's expression carefully, it seemed he was also confused by the black stone, and it's unclear what delusion bewildered him?
To make him willingly so.
Later scenes were gone, the green Big Head Cai launched an attack after identifying the target, while it, the secret investigation officer, ended up bumping into Zhang Ze's group after the failed action.
"What to do?" Li patted Zhang Ze's calf and wiped his hand on him again.
"Let's head out first, sneak in, awaken Senior Brother Shi Xiu, and then rescue those captured people. I believe they have no interest in wandering the universe."
With that, Zhang Ze untied the Immortal Binding Rope wrapped around Big Head Cai.
"You guys… really help me?" Big Head Cai flexed its hands and feet, uncertain.
"You might not believe it, but the person you call 'fire seed' came to Chang State for me, so I'm somewhat responsible for this situation." Zhang Ze awkwardly smiled.
"Let's head out." Zhang Ze patted Li's head.
The God of Stomach exerted its power, and with a burst of golden light, the group emerged from Li's particularly long-named magical artifact.
There were no people or Big Head Cai creatures around; they hadn't been exposed yet.
As the group prepared to discuss strategies, Zhang Ze suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, why are you so afraid of deer?"
These Big Head Cai creatures might be a bit weak when not integrated, but they shouldn't be frightened by mere little deer.
"I…" Big Head Cai hesitated, but eventually revealed the truth, "When I first awakened my consciousness, I found myself in a deer's mouth, and it was flying in the sky while farting…" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Zhang Ze: "..."
That's actually pretty scary, having a psychological shadow is understandable. Just as Zhang Ze was about to move past this somewhat embarrassing topic and start discussing serious matters, the sky outside suddenly darkened.
A blood moon appeared over the silver-white abandoned capital.
The entire space began to tremble, and the enormous pyramid emitted dazzling light…
"Going home…"
Amusing, crisp laughter echoed beneath the blood moon.
Big Head Cai's expression changed.
