Chapter 236 The Bearded Youth Asks for Help, Triggering Space Upgrade Conditions
"Who exactly are you?" Shen Shuli approached the man cautiously, step by step.
She wanted to see what kind of monster was on the other side.
The man slowly got up from the ground, still coughing up blood.
Shen Shuli grabbed a torch from the wall and placed it in front of the man.
The man leaned back, stung by the smoke from the fire, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was exposed to Shen Shuli's eyes.
This time, being closer, Shen Shuli could see things more clearly.
This man had a full beard, but his eyes and brows made him look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, not as mature as his voice suggested.
He's quite handsome, with a mixed-race look.
To be precise, they look very much like ethnic minorities, and are exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
"Girl, I was also captured by the people here. I was forced to do these things. Please believe me!"
"This is a magical artifact that controls a person's soul. I can give it to you, but I beg you to take me away from this hellish place."
The boy placed his bell on the ground and took several steps back to indicate that he had no other intentions.
Shen Shuli was worried that it was a trap, so she didn't touch the thing at all.
He kicked the object away, and the bell rang once before falling silent.
Shen Shuli was somewhat annoyed; she had almost gotten herself into trouble.
Fortunately, the bell did not harm her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Girl, please rest assured. Yesterday I saw you sneaking into the village and hiding on the rooftops, so I knew you were with those exiled prisoners.”
“I went to the village entrance and checked. You took down the dozen or so people guarding there. The reason they weren’t discovered was because I made up an excuse.”
"Otherwise, you would have been discovered long ago and would never have been able to leave smoothly."
Shen Shuli never expected that the reason the village guards hadn't been discovered was because of this.
But there were still many doubts. She coldly questioned, "Why didn't you leave with us when we left before? Now you're suggesting leaving with me instead."
"Could you possibly predict in advance that I will return?"
The boy quickly explained, "I was going to come find you, but I saw someone going to find the criminal. I was worried that you would be exposed, so I managed to get the person away. By the time I came back to find you, you had already left."
Shen Shuli was even more surprised!
She hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; it turned out this young man was helping her behind the scenes.
But she still didn't believe it!
How could someone with such bizarre abilities be unable to leave this place?
Was he just about to leave when I arrived?
Perhaps they want to follow me and take the opportunity to find the team and bring the person back?
anyway.
Shen Shuli cannot take this risk.
"Explain why you survived being hit by my hidden weapon?"
"My clan's techniques are unique, so external injuries can't kill me. But I can still get hurt and feel pain, though it's very difficult for me to die. I just used a top-grade healing medicine in time," the boy answered honestly.
Shen Shuli frowned deeply.
I never expected this young man to possess such amazing skills!
It seems he's on par with Xie Chengyuan!
“If you can teach me this technique, I might consider taking you with me,” Shen Shuli said.
The boy looked at her resentfully, his eyes seeming to say, "Do you think I'm as easy to fool as an idiot?"
"Girl, I can tell you're just giving me the runaround..."
Shen Shuli: "..."
Shen Shuli was embarrassed; this guy reacted pretty quickly.
Shen Shuli didn't want to argue with him any longer, so she said, "I have things to take care of. You go back to the village by yourself first, and I'll call you to come with me later."
Since this person cannot be killed, Shen Shuli is prepared to test him properly.
If this person truly wants to leave, she might take him along, considering his secret assistance.
If there were other schemes, she would always find a way to deal with him.
"Really? That's great! It's so chaotic outside, girl, come find me as soon as you're done!" With that, he disappeared like a gust of wind.
He doesn't look like someone who's been shot three times and is seriously injured at all!
Shen Shuli: "..."
After confirming that there was no one else in the cave, Shen Shuli continued to other mines and stored all the ore materials they had accumulated into her spatial storage.
These were all already mined by others; she figured she might as well take them.
"Ah! My space!"
As soon as Shen Shuli put the iron ore raw materials into her spatial storage, the space experienced the familiar tremor again.
She immediately found a secluded spot and used her consciousness to probe the surrounding space to check the situation.
To everyone's surprise, the space was actually absorbing these mineral raw materials.
The jade artifacts that were collected along with it were also being absorbed by the space.
But soon, the space returned to calm.
Because the ore has been absorbed by the space!
Consciousness leaves space.
Shen Shuli's eyes shone with an unusual brightness!
She unexpectedly triggered the necessary conditions for the upgrade space!
It's ore!
This was something Shen Shuli really hadn't expected!
That being the case!
Shen Shuli had a bold idea in her mind!
At this moment, she was like a powerful old ox, nimbly and tirelessly storing all the ore into her space.
Fortunately, all the managers in the mine had come down the mountain, which made the move so easy and smooth for her.
But after consuming nearly a hundred tons of ore, the space still showed no signs of upgrading.
Shen Shuli was worried.
She bought all the ore.
Does she think she can move the entire mine or something?
My willpower simply cannot accomplish this task!
But no matter what, she had to upgrade the space!
There's no guarantee we'll ever have the chance to encounter a mine again!
Fight!
Shen Shuli covered the mine with her consciousness and was surprised to find that she could directly store unmined areas into her space.
This ability must have come about after the space absorbed the ore.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to move the earth and mountains.
To prevent the mine from collapsing, Shen Shuli had to go to the deepest part of the mine to move the thickest layer of soil.
Shen Shuli can absorb 100 tons of iron ore and extract 10 cubic meters of soil at a time.
The soil layer contained not only minerals, but also mostly rocks and soil. In order to facilitate the expansion of the route, Shen Shuli took everything into her space without hesitation.
Anyway, the space accepts everything and absorbed all these messy soil layers.
The mine is absolutely huge.
Her mental energy was greatly depleted, so Shen Shuli drank spiritual spring water to recover when she was tired.
Fearing that the fire would spread to Xie Chengyuan's hiding place, Shen Shuli had no choice but to go down the mountain first.
First, lure the people away before continuing to move the mountain.
This is a huge project; it can't be completed in just a few hours.
The fire is still spreading.
There is a river in the mountains, but it is far from the fire, so it was impossible for thousands of soldiers to fetch and transport water in time.
Even the soldiers who were clearing the entrance at the foot of the mountain were called up to help put out the fire.
It was a mess over there, and nobody was paying attention to anything else.
Shen Shuli successfully found Xie Chengyuan and led him to the location of the vines at the village entrance.
The bearded boy was already waiting there.
Shen Shuli spotted him at a glance.
She had completely forgotten about this person while she was mining and digging.
If this boy truly had ulterior motives, he would have already brought people to arrest her.
But he clearly didn't.
Perhaps there are other, bigger plans at play!
