314: Eyes in the eggshell

Value?

The moment these two words appeared in Wu La’s mind, he was pinned to the spot by the golden light shooting from Chen Du’s eyes, unable to even blink.

This was the third time Chen Du had used War Stomp on him, and because there wasn't much wind-up and he had resistance, it was destined not to last long.

However, a few seconds were enough. This time, Chen Du didn't use the combo of Goddess of War's Stomp; instead, he directly threw Wu La's body towards the magma egg.

Restraining the opponent was only to prevent him from making a sound, as this would affect Chen Du's subsequent plans.

As Wu La's body approached the magma egg, the eggshell once again opened from the inside out, like a window, and then a four-fingered arm, seemingly charred black, extended out.

However, this arm was much thicker than the previous one. According to some of Wu La's earlier descriptions, the magma egg would adjust the size of its opening and the thickness of its arm based on the size of the item.

The arm grabbed Wu La's body and directly pulled him into the egg.

This action made Chen Du somewhat glad that he hadn't tried to split or touch the egg earlier. This was a cautious habit he had always maintained.

One must have a certain reverence for unfamiliar things.

Some things may seem ordinary, but they are in fact the most lethal.

Five seconds later, three orange-yellow secret relics, about 2 centimeters in diameter, fell into Chen Du's hand.

Chen Du caught them, and after seeing what Wu La had exchanged, he fell into contemplation.

“Could these be the so-called secret relics?”

Chen Du muttered to himself, not too surprised by this result.

He had previously speculated whether these so-called secret relics were obtained by sacrificing the lives of ordinary people of the Shushu Civilization.

Were there three relics because Wu La had Three Secret Treasures?

Chen Du speculated in his mind. Wu La held the magma egg in awe, and due to his lower hierarchy, he knew very little about it.

As for whether these three orange-yellow secret relics were indeed the secret relics Wu La mentioned, Chen Du couldn't be sure yet.

However, even if confirmed, Chen Du didn't dare to eat them now. He had to figure out what this magma egg actually was.

Wu La couldn't answer these questions for him.

However, no matter what Wu La exchanged, it wouldn't affect Chen Du's subsequent plans.

After putting the three orange-yellow secret relics into the Storage Ring on his left hand, Chen Du jogged all the way to Bi Qi's location.

Five minutes had passed since Chen Du left, and Bi Qi remained motionless. The Control time here was a bit longer than Chen Du expected.

About 48 more seconds passed before Bi Qi's right pinky finger twitched almost imperceptibly, and within the next 10 seconds, he gradually regained Control of his body.

Chen Du didn't use the Yellow-haired girl's golden light on him. Looking at Bi Qi, who was somewhat afraid of him, he said calmly:

“Don't be afraid. Wu La over there has already confessed everything. You just need to honestly answer a few normal questions for me.”

“As long as what you both say is consistent, I won't make things difficult for you. After all, I just want to get out.”

“Once you're done, you can go find Wu La. I've already had him waiting for you over there.”

“Of course, the premise is that you can't lie to me, otherwise both of you will die!”

Bi Qi nodded frantically at his words. Chen Du could clearly feel that he was much more afraid of death than Wu La.

He had originally thought that all members of the Shushu Civilization were unyielding men, but now it seemed he had overthought it. Whether it was a civilization or a race, there were always brave ones and cowardly ones.

Subsequently, Bi Qi answered all of Chen Du's questions. Perhaps because he was afraid of death, he spoke in great detail, even mentioning his father's fondness for the widow next door.

Most of Bi Qi's words were nonsense, but they did deepen Chen Du's impression of the Shushu Civilization.

The content of their statements was consistent, meaning neither of them lied, which was the most crucial point; everything else was relatively secondary.

The only pity was that both of them had never been to other territories; they had lived near the village since birth.

They couldn't answer many questions, especially about the magma egg: how long it had existed, why it erupted magma every hour, and the destination of the magma flow. They knew nothing.

There was too little valuable information.

“All right, you can go now. Wu La is waiting for you over there.”

“Thank you for your cooperation. I will continue to look for the way back.”

Chen Du smiled, his smile bright and cheerful, and then left in another direction.

After Chen Du left, Bi Qi's wildly beating heart gradually calmed down. His honesty was out of a survival instinct, but he hadn't believed Chen Du would necessarily let him go.

Now it seemed that the evil demons on the Surface weren't so bad after all?

Immediately, he excitedly ran towards Wu La's location.

And after Chen Du saw Bi Qi leave, he hid behind a concealed boulder, turned off his light source, and activated the First Mystic Treasure, Hand of God.

He directly exchanged places with Wu La, then immediately activated the Seventh Secret Treasure, Alien, transforming into Wu La's appearance, and picked up the equipment on the ground.

Holding the spiked club, he then displayed his 'Actor-level' acting skills, recognized by Qilin Martial Arts University, adjusting his facial expression.

The Alien ability had two drawbacks: first, a star plate would appear above his head when used, and second, he couldn't fight; even a slight touch would reveal his true form.

In this darkness, if he only used his eyes, Chen Du would be equivalent to having 2000-degree myopia, but his Mental Energy was extremely high, allowing him to clearly perceive his surroundings.

These people appeared in his mind as uncolored comic outlines.

Combined with the information Chen Du had learned from the two of them, impersonating a Wu La who lived a simple, two-point-a-line life was incredibly easy.

However, a discerning person could still see through it, after all, a fake is ultimately a fake.

Soon, Bi Qi's shouts came from afar.

Seeing that Wu La was fine, he felt much more relaxed.

Now, in his eyes, Chen Du was a kind person who had lost his way, and a new thought emerged in his mind: not all aliens on the Surface were evil demons.

“That's great, you're okay.”

Bi Qi said happily. The two had been friends since childhood and had a very good relationship.

“I initially thought that evil demon would kill us after asking his questions, but now it seems he's quite nice and keeps his word.”

“Wu La” nodded cooperatively:

“I thought the same at first, but he didn't do anything to me. He just asked a few questions and then said he was going to verify the information with you.”

“He said that if what you and I said were consistent, he would leave.”

“Wu La” then changed the subject:

“Let's hurry back and change shifts. We've been out for a bit long this time.”

“The captain will be unhappy.”

“Also, let's not mention encountering this evil demon. Anyway, we didn't lose anything, and talking about it might even get us punished.”

Bi Qi smiled and nodded:

“I had the same thought.”

Subsequently, the two returned in the direction of the Shushu Civilization's village.

No one noticed that after the two had walked far away, the magma egg opened its 'window' again, with the uppermost eggshell opening from the inside out.

This time, no one exchanged anything with it, nor did a black arm extend out. All there was was an eye within the eggshell!

An eye with two pupils of the same size, with the pupils horizontally connected, looking like an infinity symbol—a double-pupiled eye!

It gazed at Chen Du and the other two as they left, watched for a while, and then closed again.
