Saying that, Brother Manzi rummaged through his Storage Magical Artifact, not even looking, and started pulling out Treasure Jades and Spirit Stones, stuffing them into the little monk's hands.
He looked like a Western Barbarian tycoon.
"This is a friendship fee, for you, for you, you're my newly made friend."
While stuffing, he went on talking gibberish about the Bone Shadow, trying to get the little monk to testify for him.
"Friend, you saw it too, right? That big thing, like a giant tiger..."
Seeing Brother Manzi's actions, the girl beside the Marquis snorted coldly and kicked Brother Manzi.
"Brother, aren't you bored, making up stories and even finding accomplices, Bone Shadow is just a trick to fool out-of-towners, how could there possibly be..."
However, Brother Manzi's sister didn't finish her sentence and swallowed her words back.
A huge eye-shaped shadow appeared on the ice wall beside her, staring straight at her.
...
West Line Sub-valley of East Mushroom Valley.
Zhang Ze and Miemie stood at the mouth of the valley, marveling at how vast and long it was.
The two of them didn't need to hide their tracks, nor did they have to oppose the Snow Leopards. They took the Everywhere Pass's Flying Ship and arrived at the mouth of East Mushroom Valley in just half a day.
After Miemie used a specially made Magical Artifact to store away the Everywhere Pass's Flying Ship, she asked.
"We could have just flown directly from the sky, why co down?"
Zhang Ze said, "East Mushroom Valley is divided into East and West sub-valleys, owned by Crown Prince City and Winter Trading Company. In this West Valley before us, there are several Zhendong Trading Company outposts, and the largest one has an Array that leads directly to the other end, Bear Pass, as Bai Tao told ."
Zhang Ze explained to Miemie while holding a booklet that Bai Tao had given him from Zhendong Trading Company.
Miemie silently stared at Zhang Ze for a mont before speaking, "Even if we are to use the Array, we can just land directly at that outpost, why land at the mouth of the valley."
"With so much talk, I see you just want to enter the valley to find the Bone Shadow."
Zhang Ze, "..."
Having his true motive uncovered, Zhang Ze didn't feel awkward; he continued to bluff shalessly.
"The Bone Shadow, it... it, right, you rember the giant beast skeleton over the old site of White Emperor City in Ah Li's stomach, right."
"I suspect that the legend of the Bone Shadow in East Mushroom Valley is related to that giant beast skeleton, finding the Bone Shadow is also a step in uncovering the secrets of the past."
"Really?" Miemie didn't believe, she looked at Zhang Ze skeptically.
"Really, although I have no evidence, you have to trust my intuition as a chronicler." Zhang Ze asserted.
Seeing Miemie still wanted to say sothing, Zhang Ze lightly coughed, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it. I'm just curious, alright? Just give half a day, if we don't find it, we'll keep moving!"
"Okay, whatever you say." Miemie sighed.
A quarter of an hour later.
Miemie sat cross-legged on Zhang Ze's shoulder and pointed ahead, "Ha, still looking?"
Zhang Ze, "..."
In front of them was a pedestrian street, at the end of which was a the ice and snow world called Bone Shadow Park.
The pedestrian street was bustling with people, families with children, couples, team-building groups, tourists from other places, you na it. Zhang Ze even saw two Senior Brothers from so Sword Pavilion.
Unlike Crown Prince City's concept of pristine eco-tourism, Zhendong Trading Company had highly developed the West Line.
The Bone Shadow or whatever didn't matter, having fun was the most important thing.
Faced with Miemie's skepticism and the harsh reality, Zhang Ze stubbornly said, "Keep looking, why not. There's always an undeveloped place, the legend must have its reason."
Miemie, "Huh."
...
Over on Ah Li's side.
Only Lily was there by the shaft, diligently doing actual work.
Tang was off exploring the city under the guise of checking whether there were any Big Flapping Monkeys left.
The others were all standing on the rooftop of a building, observing the giant beast skeleton.
"Wow! Ah Li, you're amazing, such a big monster couldn't defeat you back then?" Junior Sister marveled at the giant fangs of the beast.
"Ha, just a trivial matter, not worth ntioning." Ah Li bragged again.
"But then again, what on earth is this? Sister Qi, don't you recognize it either?" Junior Sister turned to ask.
Li Yueqi's Stew Egg Terminator shook her head, "I don't recognize it, never heard of it. However, I've already sent a ssage to Elder Zhu Luo."
"And then?" Junior Sister asked.
"He said he seed to have so impression, he's thinking about it now." Li Yueqi replied.
"When will he rember?" Ah Li asked.
Li Yueqi made a rough estimate, "Could be a short while, or as long as a hundred years, the old folks have bad mories, I can't help it either."
Junior Sister, "...."
Just then, Bai Tao, who had been silent all this ti, suddenly spoke.
"It's the Qiangliang Beam!"
"Qiangliang Beam? What's that?" Li Yueqi asked, curious, looking at Bai Tao.
Bai Tao, "Qiangliang Beam is just the Qiangliang Beam, this skeleton outline, I seed to have seen it when I was a kid, let think, it seed to be from so the park..."
