"Tell me, what is this pile of junk?" Ximen Guan said, pointing to the damaged Lightspeed One on the table.
"Well, during the battle, I accidentally injured a little bit." Li Xiu spread his hand and said.
"Accidentally damaged a little bit?" Ximen Guan's eyes twitched and said angrily: "Do you call it a little bit damaged? They have all been scrapped, okay? I worked hard to create magic equipment for you, but what about you? Not at all.
You know how to cherish it, just wear it for a trip, and then you can scrap it for me, you are really good at it."
Official Ximen breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I can understand that the magic costume is damaged. It may be that the demon spirit is too strong and broke your magic costume. It's not your fault. But tell me, what did you do?
, all the light energy transmission of the magic equipment is blocked, how did you do this? I have never seen such a thing in my life. The material of the magic equipment can no longer transmit magic light, so it is a pile of useless garbage.
I really admire you. It’s really hard for you to make the magic costume look like this. It’s not easy.”
"Let me ask you, did you have premeditated it before, Lightspeed One...Lightspeed One...the speed at which it was scrapped is really the speed of light, you are worthy of the name..." Official Ximen's lungs exploded with anger.
The magical costume that was finally built after working hard all night was not really completed yet. Strictly speaking, it was still a semi-finished product, but it was actually scrapped by Li Xiu.
"It's definitely an accident." Li Xiu felt a little unreasonable and couldn't stand up to Ximen Guan.
If he hadn't wanted to know how powerful the super soul was and forced overloading to fight with the super soul, Lightspeed One would not have been damaged.
If it's not overloaded, with the performance of Lightspeed One, you can still use your skills to defeat the supersoul, but it's just a little more troublesome.
"It's really hard for you to accidentally end up like this." Ximen Guan sighed: "Forget it, it's just rubbish anyway, and it will be useless if it is used up. It's just a pity that the materials with magic spirit wood are added."
"Old official, you see my magic costume is broken, how about you help me make another one?" Li Xiu and Feng whispered.
"Make it? How to make it? The materials are useless and the magic core is cracked. What can I use to make another set for you?" Ximen Guan rolled his eyes.
"There are still a lot of magic spirit trees. As for the magic core, you don't have to worry, I still have it here," Li Xiu said.
"How can such a precious material like Demonic Spirit Wood be wasted like this? Although you are the city lord and everything belongs to you, you can't be so dictatorial and waste such good materials on those rubbish. What are you doing?
It's a crime. I, Officer Ximen, am a person with professional ethics. If you ask me to do such a thing, I will never agree to it. Such a waste will be punished." Officer Ximen immediately refused.
"Old official, please don't be impatient. Take a look at this." Li Xiu took out the super spiritual gem and the magic core and placed them in front of Official Ximen.
"What's there to see? Even if you say something outrageous today, I don't have the time..." Ximen Guan said, his eyes saw the magic core in Li Xiu's hand, and he immediately forgot all the following words.
"What's going on with this magic core? There seems to be something wrong. What is this crystal? Why does it feel like there is strong light energy in it..." Official Ximen took the gem from Li Xiu's hand and pushed the door open.
I went to the office and went to the laboratory to test it with instruments.
Not long after, Official Ximen ran back again, his expression completely different from the stinky face just now, and he said with a smile: "Ahem, Lord City Lord, where did your magic core and that gem come from?"
"Can I build my magic costume?" Li Xiu sat in Ximen Guan's office chair and said calmly while drinking tea.
"Make it, how can you not make it? You are the Lord of the City. Everything here belongs to you. If I don't make it for you, who will make it for you?" Ximen Guan said with a smile on his face.
"You can't say that. Although I am the city lord, I am not a dictator. I cannot let you do things that violate professional ethics." Li Xiu took a sip of tea and said.
"How is it possible? I have never seen a selfless person like you, Lord City Lord, in my life. Who dares to say that you are a dictator? I, Officer Ximen, was the first to stand up and kill him. My professional ethics are
Your needs, Lord City Lord, are the first criterion." Official Ximen looked serious and spoke with awe-inspiring justice.
"With such a good material as Demon Spirit Wood, wouldn't it be too wasteful to make those rubbish magic equipment? Otherwise, let's forget it." Li Xiu stood up.
"If you don't waste it, don't waste it. How can it be wasted? You are the lord of a city, and no material is too much to use on you..." Official Ximen quickly pressed Li Xiu's shoulders and asked him to sit down again.
.
"I won't embarrass you too much, right?"
"No, it's not difficult at all."
"How long will it take to make my magic costume?"
"Two months." When Ximen Guan saw that Li Xiu was silent, he gritted his teeth and said, "One and a half months... one month... can't be any less... Even if we work day and night, it will still take a month, otherwise there will be no time at all."
"Then let's give it a month." Li Xiu told him about his trip to the Golden Gate.
"Damn it, I finally know why Changshengtian didn't care about magic equipment and would treat me like that. There is such a thing as a super soul. They must have mastered the technology of super soul by that time. According to you, ordinary
It’s no wonder that the S-class magic equipment is a scumbag in front of the super soul.” After hearing this, Official Ximen gritted his teeth and said, “No wonder the Lightspeed One was damaged like this. It’s a pity that I didn’t see that super soul with my own eyes. If I could
Just catch one and bring it back for experimentation."
The more Ximen Guan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he cursed: "Those bastards in Changshengtian are really short-sighted. Trialists can have super spirits, and the technology of magic equipment can also be updated. Sooner or later, magic equipment that can easily kill super spirits can be created. Mom."
Yes, I must create that kind of magic costume so that they won’t have time to regret it.”
"Old official, don't worry, I will fully support your research on magic equipment. When life in the city gets better, I will immediately give you an additional budget to buy the best equipment." Li Xiu paused and then said: "
But before that, you must create my magic costume first."
"Don't worry, since I know that there are super spirits, I definitely can't put you in danger. If those guys from Changshengtian who can super spirits come to our door, we must be able to deal with it. This set of magic equipment must be made
, and it must be built to the highest standards, and it must be able to deal with super-soul-level demon spirits and testers." Official Ximen said with a serious face: "One month is not enough, you have to give me more time.
"
"Okay, you can go ahead and do it boldly. Tell me what's missing, and I'll try my best to find a solution." Li Xiu was overjoyed when he heard that Ximen Guan said that it should be built according to the highest standards.
"This magic core happens to be the core of the new magic equipment. I will keep the super-spiritual gem for research..." Official Ximen immediately asked for the super-spiritual gem.
Li Xiu didn't have any objections. He left the super spiritual gem and the magic core to Ximen Guan and had a good sleep after leaving the laboratory.
It wasn't until almost noon the next day that Li Xiu woke up, stretched out, and was about to eat something when he heard Chu Jun's voice coming from outside the door.
"Li Xiu, it's terrible." After hearing Li Xiu's voice, Chu Jun opened the door and walked in, saying anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiu was slightly startled.
"Something happened at the construction site, let's go take a look quickly." Chu Jun said anxiously.
"Construction site? What construction site? What happened?" Li Xiu didn't realize what Chu Jun was talking about for a moment.
"It's the Demon Spirit Arena. There was an accident on the construction site over there. Sha Chu said that a hole collapsed over there and a worker fell in. He asked someone to rescue him, but he still couldn't come out." Chu Jun told the story of the cause and effect of the incident.
say clearly.
"Go take a look." Li Xiu quickly followed Chu Jun out.
When we arrived at the construction site of the Demon Arena, we were surrounded by tall iron sheets, so we couldn't see what was going on inside.
After entering through the gate, we saw that the foundations had been laid and some buildings were already being built.
However, the site has been cleared now, and there is no one else on the construction site except Sha Chu.
"The foundation has been laid, why is it still collapsing?" Li Xiu asked immediately when he saw Sha Chu approaching.
"The City of Light was originally built on a mountain. There are hard rocks underneath. There is no need to lay a foundation. It's just that after processing the rocks, some shock-absorbing layers and waterproofing layers were built on top. Who knows?
During the construction last night, a hole suddenly collapsed over there..." Sha Chu said as he led Li Xiu to the collapsed hole.
The hole was not that big, just over one meter in diameter, but when you looked down it was so dark that you didn't know how deep it was, and you couldn't even see the bottom if you shined a bright light.
"Has anyone gone down?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.
This hole doesn't matter, but if there is a bigger hole below, then the City of Light is built on an egg shell, and there is a risk of collapse at any time. Maybe the entire city will collapse by then, and all their
Wouldn’t all your hard work and investment be in vain?
"I asked someone to go down, but not long after being lowered down, the person suddenly lost contact. When I pulled up the rope, I saw that the steel wire and safety rope were broken. I didn't know what happened down there. I didn't dare to go any further.
Let people get down." Sha Chu held the broken end of the wire rope and showed it to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu took a closer look at the fracture. It looked very smooth, as if it had been cut off directly by a sharp blade. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Have you not done any detailed exploration before?" Li Xiu asked again.
"I did it, but I didn't find any holes underneath." Sha Chu thought for a moment and then said, "Could it be that there are demons down there?"
Li Xiu also had the same suspicion. The wire rope didn't look like it was worn out, but it was unlikely that there would be humans in that kind of place. Demonic spirits were the most likely possibility.
"Xiyuan, come here and bring the magic costume." Li Xiu called Ye Xiyuan.
After a while, Ye Xiyuan rushed over with a ghost-faced devil costume. After knowing what happened, Ye Xiyuan immediately said: "City Lord, the situation below is unknown, let me go down to investigate first."
"Are you okay?" Li Xiu looked at Ye Xiyuan and asked.
"I can do it." Ye Xiyuan replied firmly. It could be seen that she was not just talking casually, but really wanted to go down and explore the way for Li Xiu.
"Next time, there will be more opportunities in the future. I may have guessed what the following things are. I have to go and take a look in person to confirm my idea." Li Xiu patted Ye Xiyuan on the shoulder and took the ghost-faced devil costume.
, put it on and jumped down.
He didn't know what was down there, he just had some suspicions.
He had wondered before why the Lord of Hongsha City would spend so much money to build a city in a place like this. The purpose was not just for a trial gate.
But there are no mineral deposits here, so Li Xiu has never understood the purpose of the Lord of Hongsha City in building the City of Light.
Now that he suddenly discovered such a cave, he had some doubts about whether it was related to the Hongsha City Lord's choice to build the city here.
The light pattern on the magic suit lit up, allowing Li Xiu to slowly descend in the air, while the fluorescent light on his body illuminated the surroundings.
This underground cave is surrounded by smooth stone walls. It is just a tube that goes straight up and down. As it descends a distance of two to three hundred meters, the diameter of the cave does not become wider or narrower at all.
This made Li Xiu very suspicious. Maybe the hole was not formed naturally, but was penetrated by some force.
"Is it really the hole that the Lord of Hongsha City drilled here? Why did he dig such a deep hole here? Is there a gem mine underneath?" Li Xiu continued to descend, already more than 500 meters away, and still could not see the bottom of the hole.
.
The opening on it is already as small as the mouth of a cup, and the dark and narrow environment looks very depressing.
Only the light from the magic equipment illuminates the surrounding area. Even with a dark mirror, you can't see what's underneath.
Not because it's dark, but because there's still so much depth down there.
When Li Xiu estimated that the depth was more than one thousand meters, he still didn't know the bottom.
"Something's wrong. The workers who came down before suddenly lost contact after about a hundred meters. This is more than a thousand meters. Why haven't you found anything? And you haven't felt a lack of oxygen?" Li Xiu was confused.
I want to find out even more.
When the depth exceeds 2,000 meters, the straight-cylindrical hole suddenly becomes wider, and a huge underground space appears.
Li Xiu glanced at the underground space and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
This underground space is probably as huge as a city, and the stone roof is hemispherically shaped like a sky.
In this huge underground space, there was a demon spirit crawling. The body of the demon spirit occupied almost half of the underground space. It was unimaginably huge. Li Xiu was not as good as an ant in front of it.
Its body is as crystal-like as jade, and every scale on its body is emitting fluorescence, but there is a thick layer of crystals wrapped around the demon spirit's body, which seems to seal it within the crystal.
"Is this... a unicorn?" Li Xiu saw that the demon spirit looked very similar to the unicorn in myths and legends.
It has a dragon head, a lion body, and a pony tail. The whole body is covered with crystal jade-like scales. There are crystal-like dragon horns on the top of its head. Its claws are also crystal-like jade. It looks scary and mysterious, but it also has some kind of unspeakable monster.
Beauty.
On the demon spirit, Li Xiu saw the corpses of two workers, who had fallen on the crystal that wrapped the demon spirit.
Strangely, their bodies were also wrapped in crystals.
"What kind of demon is this? Why is it here?" Li Xiu looked at the four underground spaces. In addition to the demon and the corpses of the workers, there was also a pool in the corner of the underground space.
Li Xiu looked at the water pool carefully and found that the water pool was unfathomable and emitted waves of cold air.
What made Li Xiu feel strange was that there was a plant growing in the center of the pool.
Even though Li Xiu was standing on the edge of the pool, the water was as clear as pure water, but he still couldn't see the bottom and didn't know how deep it was.
With Li Xiu's eyesight and the clarity of the water, he should have no problem seeing more than ten meters away.
In other words, this pool is still more than ten meters deep. If this plant can grow from below, it should be at least ten meters long.
The part exposed above the water looks like coral, with snow-white crystals exuding little bits of light.
The reason why Li Xiu thought it was not coral, but a plant, was because there were five small snow-white flowers blooming on the coral-like thing.
The petals are translucent and look like they are carved from the finest jade, but they exude a faint fragrance.
In the part that can be seen underwater, coral-like vines extend until they are no longer visible.
Li Xiu didn't know what it was, so he naturally didn't dare to move it. He didn't know if the crystals on the huge demon spirit were produced by the water pool or the plant.
After looking at it for a while, I still didn't understand what it was. I walked around in the underground space and found nothing else.
Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit carefully again, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
He found that there was an arrow nailed on the forehead of the unicorn-like demon spirit between his eyebrows.
About half of the arrow body is inserted, and the exposed arrow shaft and tail fin are carved like rubies.
This ruby arrow has no brilliance at all. It seems to be more of a work of art than a real arrow used for fighting.
But since it can penetrate the scales of demon spirits, it must not be an ordinary thing.
"Did the Lord of Hongsha City choose to build the city here just for this demon spirit? Or is it for the plants in the pool?" Li Xiu couldn't figure it out for a while.
After pondering for a moment, Li Xiu flew towards the entrance of the cave from which he came. He understood the level of this demon spirit and did not dare to attack it easily.
With such a huge size, even an ordinary S-class demon spirit must have terrifying power. If it goes crazy and collapses the underground space, it is not known whether it will affect the City of Light above.
Although there are more than 2,000 meters of rock layer between them, it should not have much impact, but no one can say for sure.
What's more, Li Xiu didn't think this was an ordinary S-class demon spirit. Although the fluorescence on its body was very dim, Li Xiu always felt that this guy was something special.
If this guy is super psychic and wants to fight, he will be in big trouble.
Li Xiu planned to go back first to get a mobile phone or something like that, take pictures of the demons and the plants in the pool, and show it to Official Ximen or Lao Dao, maybe they would know what it was.
"Human..." Li Xiu was about to fly out of the underground space when he suddenly heard a voice in his head.
