Chapter 145: 144, Spirit Snake Chapter 145: 144, Spirit Snake Luo Shu shook his head wordlessly, his mind a whirl, and pulled Xiao Qing out of the space, “Lead the way! Or you won’t get any!” This greedy little thing, if you didn’t show it some color, it really would overstep its bounds.

Xiao Qing looked up sadly, its tail appeasingly touching Luo Shu’s foot, “Master!”

Luo Shu huffed and turned away, ignoring it.

“Master, I was wrong! I only need one, I really only need one,” Xiao Qing said, growing anxious. If its master didn’t give it even one, what would it do?

A small smile leaked from the corner of Luo Shu’s mouth as he glared at Xiao Qing, “Well, aren’t you going to lead the way?”

“I’m going right now, Master, you must give it to me, Xiao Qing can become stronger and help Master defeat the bad guys,” Xiao Qing pleaded, looking at Luo Shu to win favor.

Luo Shu glared at it irritably, “So much nonsense, just lead the way!”

“Oh!” Xiao Qing hastily scurried ahead to take the lead.

Luo Qianyu was taken aback when she suddenly saw Xiao Qing appear. Sensing the spiritual energy emanating from its body, she knew it wasn’t one of the snakes from the deep pit before. Seeing the interaction between Luo Shu and it, she immediately understood what was happening. She hadn’t expected Luo Shu to have raised a Spirit Snake.

Following Xiao Qing’s guidance, Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu quickly found a protruding stone hidden in a corner.

“Master, opening this mechanism will reveal the exit. Master, you promised to give me a Spirit Stone, don’t forget!” Xiao Qing reminded, not at ease.

“I know!” Luo Shu laughed and shook his head, picked up Xiao Qing, and put it back into the space.

Luo Qianyu had already pressed that mechanism by this time.

With a rumble like thunder, the Bronze Coffin in the distance began to shake, and then it slowly sank down, the ground that had been closed up slowly opened again.

Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu exchanged a smile, “Let’s get out of here!”

Under the direction of Wei Xiao, the workers were bustling with activity, but their glances would occasionally drift towards the hole. Their bosses had been inside for almost an hour; nothing bad could have happened, right? There were often mechanisms in many Ancient Tombs, they had heard.

“Look! The bosses are coming out!” The worker who first spotted Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu emerging from the hole cried out excitedly.

At the same time, all the workers turned their gazes toward Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu, who had just crawled out of the hole.

“The bosses are so amazing; that black smoke didn’t hurt them at all.”

“Indeed, the bosses are no ordinary people. No wonder they could save all the people of Cloud City.”

“Everyone, work hard! Following such bosses, we won’t be at a loss.” The workers redoubled their efforts, their eyes filled with admiration and reverence for Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu. After this incident, Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu’s status in their hearts had risen another notch.

With Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu’s return, the blue stone slab that had disappeared before reappeared in its original spot as if it had never moved.

Luo Qianyu bent down and pressed the mechanism they had used to enter before. Luo Shu had just told him that Xiao Qing said this mechanism could only be activated once; activating it again would trigger the destruction key, and everything in the Ancient Tomb would be reduced to nothing in an instant.

To prevent anyone from harboring thoughts of disrupting the Ancient Tomb, he naturally wanted to destroy everything. After all, they were building their factory here. If people kept trying to dig up the Ancient Tomb every few days, when would their factory ever be completed?

As the mechanism was pressed, a “rumbling” sound arose, and the ground began to shake violently.

“What’s happening? Is it an earthquake?”

“Nobody move, get down!”

Thinking it was an earthquake, the workers, terrified, dropped to the ground with their heads in their hands, not daring to move, looking at Luo Shu and Luo Qianyu with fearful eyes, hoping they could provide some reassurance.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone! This is just the sound of the Ancient Tomb collapsing below; it will be over soon,” Luo Qianyu announced loudly to everyone. At the same time, he conveyed that the Ancient Tomb below had disappeared.

The shaking continued for seven or eight minutes before stopping. The anxious hearts of the people finally settled down. Looking back at where the hole had been, they saw not only was the hole gone but the blue stone slab had also broken into pieces.

Some workers had entertained the thought of striking it rich from this, but now they had given up hope.

Luo Shu stayed at the construction site for a while and, seeing that there was nothing that required his assistance, told Luo Qianyu that he was going home first.

When he got home, Luo Shu immediately sank his consciousness into the space.

“Xiao Qing! Xiao Qing!” Luo Shu called twice, and, not getting a response, knew it must have taken a Spirit Stone and gone to cultivate.

Opening the small wooden box, he indeed found a Spirit Stone missing and shook his head with a wry smile. That guy must have been afraid he wouldn’t give it a Spirit Stone, so it secretly took its share first.

He took a Spirit Stone out of the wooden box and held it in his hand. Luo Shu closed his eyes, and began to Focus and Calm. His grandfather had said if he was fortunate to encounter a Spirit Stone, cultivating in this way was best.
