Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After everyone had a good rest, they prepared to look for a passage to the giant tree on this land.

The Zhang family members and Hei Xia Zi had already figured out where the way out was, but for some reason, no one of them told them where the passage was.

Wang Kaixuan: "Hey! Lao Hu, look here, there is a small path here!"

Wang Kaixuan felt the wind at a corner of the bronze wall. He walked over and moved away several large stones blocking the wall. He found a dark and long passage.

Hubayi and his men came over and first used torches to test whether there was oxygen in the passage and whether there was enough oxygen. After everything was confirmed, Hubayi discussed it with Zhang Haike.

Hubayi: "Mr. Zhang Haike, we found a man-made road in that corner, and we're not sure where it leads to. What do you think?"

Zhang Haike pondered for a moment, "There is strength in numbers. This place is so strange. If we walk together, we can always take care of each other."

Zhang Haike spoke again: "But I'll go talk to my young master first."

Huba praised excitedly, "Yes, yes. Then let's go pack up first. We'll gather here in an incense stick of time."

After Zhang Haike and Huba separated, they came to Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Haike: "Your Highness, Chief. Hubayi and his men have found the passage and asked if we want to go together."

Hei Xia Zi: "That guy surnamed Hu is indeed a man of some ability, but he is also a half-baked man. You are also an expert in feng shui, can't you see that?"

Zhang Haike: "We only need to know our abilities ourselves. Why should we let others know everything? Besides, we should give people a chance to show off in front of their loved ones."

Hei Xia Zi laughed and said, "That depends on whether the other party likes it or not. But looking at the situation, I think it's a long shot."

Zhang Haike shrugged, spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "Then this is none of our business. We won't interfere if we can, and we won't show up much. If we still can't control the person, then it's not our problem, but the person's own business."

Hei Xia Zi: "That's true, but some people are unreasonable. Ouch!"

Hei Xiazi felt as if someone pinched his thigh. He looked down and saw Xiao Hua, who was angry, twisting his thigh desperately. He looked at Xiao Hua with a wry smile, "My little ancestor! What's wrong with you?"

Xiaohua loosened her grip on Hei Xia Zi's hand and crossed her arms, "What are you talking about? Can't you just say it out loud?"

Hei Xiazi put his hands on Xiao Hua's white and tender face, rubbing it left and right, and said with a smile: "It's too early for you to talk about this topic now. When you are older, you will know what we are talking about. Besides, my little ancestor! If I talk too bluntly with Zhang Haike, your father's knife will be on my neck."

Xiaohua became impatient with Heixiazi's rubbing and screamed, and slapped Heixiazi's hand away.

Hua Yu: "Xiao Hua, don't be so rude! Apologize to your blind uncle."

Hua Yu emphasized the word "uncle" and reminded Hei Xia Zi not to think that the old cow can eat the young grass, especially the crabapple flower in his house.

Hei Xia Zi also understood the meaning of Hua Yu's words. He was stunned for a moment and then returned to his original state.

Hei Xia Zi: "It's okay, it's okay. I like the fact that my little ancestor is so energetic. At least he doesn't have to live under someone else's roof and depend on others for his life like I did when I was a kid."

Hua Yu couldn't bear to see Hei Xia Zi's pitiful look. From his Manchu name, it can be seen that he must have been the apple of his parents' eyes when he was young.

Hua Yu was held in Zhang Qiling's arms with one hand. After Zhang Qiling stood up, he first stood firmly before putting Hua Yu on the ground, then took his hand and let him walk behind him while he walked in front. In this way, he could protect Hua Yu from harm even if there was danger.

Yang Xueli watched the interaction between Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling beside Hubayi, and couldn't help feeling a little touched. Although Hubayi would always protect her, this protection seemed so insignificant once compared to her.

Yang Xueli also knows that Hubayi has this kind of personality. If you expect him to suddenly become a different person and treat someone wholeheartedly, Yang Xueli would start to suspect whether Hubayi's soul has been replaced or his body has been replaced.

Huba was so excited when he saw Zhang Qiling, Hua Yu and the others coming over. "Mr. Hua, Mr. Zhang, you're here! Let's go now!"

Hua Yu walked out from behind Zhang Qiling, stood with Zhang Qiling, and looked at Hu Bayi with a smile: "Next, we will trouble Mr. Hu to lead the way for us!"

Hubayi said with a little fear: "No, no, I need to learn more from Mr. Zhang Haike. I still have many shortcomings. I hope Mr. Hua or Mr. Zhang can point them out."

After the two of them flattered each other for a while, Huba walked in front to lead the way, while Hua Yu and his group walked behind to cover the rear.

Huba and his group were in the front, trembling with fear, while Hua Yu and his group were chatting and laughing in the back, the two groups formed a sharp contrast.

After an unknown amount of time, Huba finally saw a ray of light ahead. He rushed forward quickly and saw that they had arrived at the foot of the towering tree. However, the tree was surrounded by water, which was dark green. It was unclear what dangerous creatures might be in the water.

Hua Yu and the others also came to the cave entrance and looked at the huge tree that was so close yet so impossible to get close to.

Hua Yu: "Mr. Hu, what should we do next? There is no bridge for us to cross, and no boat for us to row across."

Huba frowned and said, "Let's look around to see if there is any way to get through. Maybe there is a passage on the back that we can't see that can lead to the roots of the giant tree."

Hubayi led Yang Xueli to search for other passages along the left side of the shore, while Zhang Haike led Zhang Haihua, Zhang Haitai and Zhang Haixian to search from the right side. Suddenly, Hubayi found a strangely shaped stone platform not far from the shore, which looked like some kind of mechanism.

He walked forward and took a closer look, trying to find a way to open the mechanism.

Huba shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhang Haike, I found something here!"

Zhang Haike and his companions who were searching on the right side also found a stone platform on the right side.

Zhang Haike immediately shouted loudly after hearing Hu Bayi's voice: "Mr. Hu, I also found something here!"

The two groups of people returned to the original place together and took out the pictures of the strange stone platform they had just discovered. When they compared the two pictures, they found that they were two identical stone platforms, but the positions of the things on the stone platforms were different.

At this moment, the water surface began to fluctuate, and a huge black shadow slowly emerged.

Everyone looked up and found that it was the sword-backed whale they had seen at the cruise ship before. Hubayi had never expected that this whale was so seriously injured, but it could still find them here. However, this also shows that the bottom of the pool must be connected to the outside.

Huba looked at Zhang Haike and said, "Mr. Zhang Haike, what should we do now? This whale is chasing us!"

Zhang Haike looked at the sword-backed whale that was holding on for a breath and said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of! He is only one breath away from death. If we go up and aim at him and shoot him, he will be dead. Is there any need to be afraid of him?"

Huba heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Zhang Haike said. Uncle Ming, Dali, and Master and Apprentice Softhei behind him also heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they had a head-on fight with this whale on the cruise ship before, and the explosion with its thick skin didn't kill it.
