At the same time, in the canyon.

The bright sunshine shines brightly on the canyon, but the entire canyon looks extremely cold.

Looking down, I saw that there were already a group of people standing next to the corpse of Annunciation Beast. The group of people were all wearing light armor and carrying machetes. It was estimated that there were at least forty people. Everyone stood in two rows, and they all lowered their heads and faced the man in blue squatting in front of the corpse of Annunciation Beast. Everyone's face was only horror except for being depressed.

Yuan Fang stood in the crowd with dirt and looked at the man in blue from time to time, as if she wanted to stand up and say something, but perhaps the man in blue put too much pressure on him, making him not know whether he should disturb the man in blue at this time.

The man in blue looked at the people behind him and carefully examined the corpse of the Announced Beast for a while before slowly standing up, patting the dirt on his hands, turning around, and glanced at the audience.

He has a medium figure, an ordinary face, and a blue dress is spotless, but the sharp light that lights up from time to time in his eyes vaguely shows restrained wisdom. The powerful aura emitted from time to time makes everyone feel as if they are pressed against a mountain. Anyone who is swept by his eyes unconsciously lowered his head, as if he does not have the courage to look at the man in blue.

However, Yuan Fang knew that her chance had come, so she quickly stepped out of the crowd with a stinging head, stepped forward, bowed and clasped her fists, but she really didn't dare to look at the man in blue. She could only lower her head, looked at the milky white "Zhen" sign on the hem of the man in blue, and said solemnly: "Dashi Chang, the entire tunnel has collapsed now, and the whereabouts of Touer, Zhuang Biyun and others are unknown. Please give me instructions on what to do next."

As he said that, he worked hard to act bravely and warlike. With his dusty face and cracked light armor on his body, he really felt a bit brave enough to crawl out of the pile of corpses.

He deliberately did not say his credit, but only asked about his next action, which was to leave a good impression on Deacon Chang.

Sure enough, Chang De looked at Yuan Fang's eyes, stayed for a while on the scratched wounds between his neck and the broken light armor, nodded with satisfaction, and said tepidly: "Since you are the only one who escaped from the tunnel, then I will give you half of the manpower to temporarily lead them into the tunnel again. I don't care what method you use, in short, before noon, the tunnel must be connected again."

Speaking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flashing a little: "If you can satisfy me, after the matter is done, I will ask the adults for a report. As long as the adults agree, then this group of people will be left to you to lead."

His meaning is very obvious. If nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Fang will become the new leader of this group of people, officially join the organization, and become an inner disciple!

However, Yuan Fang was a little happy. Not to mention how difficult it was to penetrate the tunnel before noon, just saying Chang De's words made him feel unsure.

Yuan Fang understood that if Chang De personally joined the team that penetrated the tunnel, if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely reopen the entire tunnel before noon, and it might not even take so much time! However, he actually handed over the matter to himself. Could it be that he was not anxious about chasing Zhuang Biyun?

After all, the Zhuang family and the Liang family are also searching for Zhuang Biyun's whereabouts. One quarter of an hour later, it is likely to miss a chance. Is the organization not going to hunt Zhuang Biyun and blame the Liang family?

But if that is the case, why continue to penetrate the tunnel? Wouldn’t it be enough to just go back?

However, although Yuan Fang could not guess Chang De’s idea, he was a very qualified subordinate. After hearing the sound, he immediately said respectfully: "Yes!"

Seeing that Yuan Fang was not excited by the promised support, Chang De couldn't help but feel satisfied when he looked at him. He touched him casually, took out a few torches, threw them to Yuan Fang at will, and said calmly: "In addition to Ning Youqian, you can just transfer some people to your hands. Once the tunnel is penetrated, you can immediately fire the arrow. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Yuan Fang took the torches, responded respectfully and stuffed them into her arms casually. Then she immediately turned around, picked out half of the people from the crowd, and then led the people straight toward the entrance of the cave.

Chang De looked at Yuan Fang's back disappearing into the cave entrance, then turned around and said to the remaining people: "Ning Youqian stays, and the others are now climbing up the canyon and returning to the ground."

Hearing this order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after answering, they hurriedly ran towards the edge of the cliff. However, when they looked at Ning Youqian, they couldn't help but feel a little more curious and confused.

After everyone left, Ning Youqian bit his lower lip and lowered his head and said respectfully: "Daichi Chang..."

"Just call me Changde." Changde waved his hand, very approachable: "It's not easy to meet a fellow villager, so don't be too reserved."

"...Yes." Ning Youqian gritted his teeth, but he obviously did not dare to call Changde's name directly, so he could only take a step back: "Why don't you personally preside over the tunnel through yourself?"

Speaking of this, Ning Youqian didn't continue. In fact, the biggest question in his heart was the same as Yuan Fang. Isn't he in a hurry to chase Zhuang Biyun now?

However, the huge gap in identity still did not give him the courage to ask this.

Changde heard Ning Youqian's restraint and did not say much about this. However, his tone had become extremely calm: "In front of others, I will definitely not say what I think. However, you are my fellow countryman, I will tell you... Don't you think that I have never entered this tunnel, but after Yuan Fang's description, I also know a rough idea. Don't you think it's strange that there is such a tunnel in this canyon?"

"Oh?" Ning Youqian seemed to have some clarity, but he did not dare to express his thoughts.

Chang De said lightly: "Such a long tunnel is obviously from the masters. If there is no circulating air, people will definitely not survive. Moreover, I have observed for a long time before and found that there is only this hole in the canyon. That means that the exit of the tunnel must be above the canyon. Zhuang Biyun and the others have probably escaped to the top after a night. I asked them to penetrate the tunnel, so that they could find the direction of the exit. As for us... of course, we have to go up and search around now. Moreover, what I am even more curious is that since a master has built a tunnel here, it is likely that there is a strange hidden in this canyon. If we can discover the secrets of the canyon, even if Zhuang Biyun's affairs are not successful, we can still make up for the merits. After all, a night has passed, and no one can tell where Zhuang Biyun and the others are now."

After he said this, Ning Youqian suddenly realized: "Then what you mean is..."

"Not bad." Chang De interrupted: "You can stay here for the time being. I just looked at it. There are still a lot of edible food here. You also know that there will be no other powerful terror beasts where the Annihilation Beasts appear. You are very safe here. Pay more attention to this canyon. When Zhuang Biyun's affairs are in full swing, I will come back to pick you up immediately."

Now, Ning Youqian finally understood Chang De's intention, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and quickly responded: "Yes, I must pay more attention and I will never let you down."

"Okay, then I'll leave." Chang De was not a nonsense person. After explaining clearly, he flashed to the cliff.

At this time, many other people had already started to grab the vines when they were down and climbed up little by little. However, Changde directly crossed the vines, turned his palm into the claws, and directly clenched into the rock wall. As his hands continued to alternately clenched into the rock wall, he actually climbed up quickly.

The blue shirt was still spotless, and it was countless times faster than the others who were climbing with the vines. It was almost halfway through the blink of an eye. In just a few breaths, his figure had returned to the ground.

...

Iron forest.

Wang Sancai and Zhuang Biyun have both crawled back to the thick branches. Now, both of them have seen that on a slightly higher branch north of the iron tree, a round fruit as big as a palm hung. The whole body is milky white and the surface is extremely smooth. From the appearance, it looks very similar to a milky white persimmon.

Fang Tong had recovered his calm. He stood in the tree hole, looked at the surprised expressions of the two, and said affirmatively: "Brother, I'm sure that this iron tree had absolutely no fruit last night!"

"What do you mean is that it grew overnight?" Wang Sancai withdrew his gaze, looked at Fang Tong, and said in confusion: "I remember you said that this iron tree has not reached the age of fruiting, right?"

"Yes, brother, look, it has just bloomed. Judging from the thickness of this iron tree, it is only more than four hundred years at most, and it is impossible to bear fruit so quickly!" Fang Tong's tone was very serious: "And, I can guarantee that this fruit definitely grew overnight!"

"That's right." Wang Sancai thought about Fang Tong's words and couldn't help but nodded: "It must be obvious at night that you didn't notice it, not only did you not notice it, but I also did."

"Is it related to a rain last night?" Zhuang Biyun glanced at the raindrops on the iron tree fruit and turned her eyes back to Wang Sancai.

Wang Sancai shook his head and pointed to other iron trees casually before saying, "It's unlikely, girl, look at it yourself. No other iron trees have any fruit. The tree we lived in last night has a fruit. If it's related to rain, other iron trees will definitely bear fruit."

This sentence was a sharp pain, forcing Zhuang Biyun to ponder again, but Fang Tong in the tree hole suddenly felt aroused in his heart and immediately said, "Brother, is it the role of the top-grade Yuanshi?"

Hearing this sentence, Wang Sancai suddenly felt a stern. Indeed, the biggest difference between this iron tree and other iron trees is here. When he took out the top-grade Yuan stone last night, the three of them felt extremely comfortable all over. Although it was only a short time, it was possible that the iron tree absorbed some of the vitality released from the top-grade Yuan stones and accelerated its maturity!

Since people can use the Yuanshi's vitality to speed up their cultivation, why can't trees?

Or, in other words, in addition to being able to absorb vital energy by cultivators, does the best Yuan stone have other wonderful uses?

After all, Zhuang Biyun and Fang Tong have never seen the appearance of the best Yuanshi as of last night! Maybe there are any other wonderful uses!

When he thought of this, Wang Sancai couldn't wait to close his eyes and came to the game's warehouse, wanting to try whether he could check the detailed attributes of the top-grade Yuanshi here.

However, before he could arrive in the warehouse, he accidentally glanced at the information bar in the upper left corner, but his heart moved. Then, a feeling of enlightenment suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart with a wave of surprise!

At this moment, Wang Sancai felt like he had encountered a huge surprise!

The long-confused problem was solved inadvertently!!
