Chapter 417 Why is the Boss Smashing the House?
"Huh? Are we going to rest here? Although that guy who seemed pretty imposing just now was like a formidable character on par with me, what he said just now sounded a bit ominous, didn't it?"
When Araki Ichito saw Xu Ning sit down and start drinking, he became a little anxious.
"Since we only heard his voice after the door opened here, this guy must be below this hole!"
Xu Ning shook his head slightly, "It's highly unlikely to be down here. Besides, this Xiao Xian Shi is known as the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons in Liyue. He's not the kind of person who can be easily defeated. Moreover, that voice wasn't a distress signal from him. Someone deliberately sent these voices to confuse us. We don't even know if it's true or not, so there's no use in being anxious. Let's wait and see."
Araki Ichito wasn't exactly a patient demon. Although he admitted that Xu Ning's words made a lot of sense, the fact that he could only stand there and wait even though he had clearly seen the exit was making things very difficult for him.
"Then I'll wander around around here first... Oh, isn't there a small crack here?"
Arataki Ichito hadn't gone far when he saw a thin slit in the space in front of him, as if cut by a sharp blade, and a fierce gust of wind blew out from the slit.
Yi Dou's cry immediately attracted everyone's attention, and as everyone gathered around, a blue shadow suddenly flashed out from the gap.
"Isn't that Xiao? How did he get here? Huh? I can't touch him, is it an illusion?"
Paimon's little hand passed right through the shadow, startling her.
Yan Fei stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, can you hear me?"
"you……"
The phantom's ape spoke, but only two words were clearly audible, and the rest was incomprehensible.
Paimon, still weaving his hands, asked, "We gathered here because we heard your voice, but it's so strange, we can't touch you at all... How come you're just a shadow?"
Xiao: "Shadow?"
Araki Ichito laughed and said, "You bet you were quite startled when you came out. We heard you were fighting someone. Are you alright?"
Xiao's voice suddenly tightened, "You heard that... something's wrong, cough! There's something wrong with this secret realm, you... leave there as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning thought for a moment and then asked, "You sound injured? Where are you? How can we meet up with you?"
Xiao said urgently, "Don't worry about me, your safety is the most important thing right now. This space seems to be..."
The conversation seemed to have touched on a crucial point, but Xiao's shadow suddenly vanished, and even the narrow crack in space disappeared instantly.
Xu Ning had spoken to Xiao, though not much, but he had a good memory and could still recognize Xiao's voice.
But even if it's Xiao, is it necessarily true?
While Xu Ning and Ye Lan were still pondering, Arataki Ichito had already walked towards the open hole.
“I can’t let the injured person remind us to be careful. This young man is a good brother, and I have to help him.”
Hisaki Shinobu had been watching his boss the whole time, and seeing this, he immediately reminded him, "Boss, don't rush ahead alone. You're not a dog!"
Araki Ichito waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'll scout ahead for you. Don't worry, I'm invincible—ah! My butt!"
Hisaki Shinobu followed him to the edge of the cave, glanced at it, and turned back to say, "...It looks like the pit is very deep. Everyone, please be careful."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and followed Hisagi Shinobu as they jumped down from that exit.
Xu Ning and Ye Lan walked at the back.
"This space is obviously strange. After we discovered its existence, it changed its original strategy and seemed to want to guide us in a certain direction."
Xu Ning agreed with Ye Lan's assessment, "We still can't figure out what kind of thing this is. Let's prioritize everyone's safety. Anyway, I have enough food and water in my space, so I'm not afraid of dragging this thing out."
After the two jumped down from there, the entrance to the secret realm quickly disappeared.
After landing, Xu Ning looked up at the rocky summit above.
"I'm increasingly convinced that what I did just now was the right thing to do."
Xu Ning glanced at Ye Lan and smiled, "Moreover, I'm also somewhat certain that there was something wrong with what Xiao said just now. After all, judging from its current behavior, it clearly wants us to get out of that secret realm quickly and not stay inside. Once we understand this, dealing with it should be much easier."
The underground space wasn't large, and the first thing everyone saw after jumping down was a stone house at the far left.
The stone house was not large, but the location of the entrance was rather peculiar.
The doorway was located at the bend between two walls of the house. Judging from its structure, it should be a lift door, and the doorway was extremely narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Xu Ning and Ye Lan burst into laughter upon seeing the appearance of the stone house.
"Interesting, really interesting."
Hearing their laughter, Hisaki Shinobu turned around and asked, "What do you two find amusing?"
Xu Ning replied with a smile, "Aren, don't misunderstand. We're not making fun of Brother Yidou. We genuinely find this room interesting."
Hisaki glanced at the structure of the house. "Although this style does look a bit strange, what's interesting about it?"
Xu Ning pointed to the sky above and laughed, "Just now, Ye Lan and I were saying that this space seemed worried that a large group of us would be stuck in the space again and not get out, but we didn't expect it to have thought of the future."
Hisagi Shinobu looked back at the small house again and suddenly understood what Xu Ning meant.
"No wonder such a portal was set up. If we want to get in this time, we can only enter one by one in a queue, which directly avoids multiple people appearing in the secret realm at the same time. And it can manipulate the portal, letting in whichever person it wants, and can control the situation at any time."
Hisaki Shinobu turned to look at the two of them and said, "Then we should at least have informed everyone beforehand..."
"Open it!!!"
As the three were talking, Arataki Ichito suddenly roared and punched the door of the stone house.
The strength of the demons was indeed not to be underestimated; such a punch to the wall of the stone house almost shook the entire space.
However, despite the powerful punch, it failed to cause any damage to the stone house, which stunned everyone.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Yanfei, Kong, and Paimon stood in a row behind Yidou, clapping together with amused expressions on their faces.
Hisaki rushed over and said, "Boss, isn't there a stone platform over there to activate the mechanism? Why bother smashing the house like that?"
