After saying that, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stepped onto the paving stones.
Seeing that his condition had improved, Li Xiaohu believed him and followed behind him.
The others followed closely in their footsteps.
They passed through a tomb passage filled with traps and mechanisms.
Then we returned to the area below the entrance to the Sleeping Buddha and climbed up one by one along the sky-piercing rope.
Yin Xinyue here still lacks the strength and needs others to help her up.
Li Xiaohu looked at the stubborn Yin Xinyue and smiled knowingly.
Unexpectedly.
Halfway down, Yin Xinyue suddenly lost her grip and fell heavily to the ground!
Fortunately, Li Xiaohu was keeping a close eye on her from below and caught her, but she still managed to knock him to the ground.
"Ouch..." Li Xiaohu used his body to alleviate her impact, but it hurt him in the process.
Yin Xinyue hurriedly asked with concern, "I'm sorry, are you alright?"
Li Xiaohu squinted and gritted his teeth as he said, "Miss, do I look like someone who's alright?"
Yin Xinyue immediately became anxious and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Li Xiaohu playfully patted her bottom and said, "You're making me uncomfortable."
"You pervert!" Yin Xinyue finally realized what he meant and quickly stood up from him.
Li Xiaohu chuckled, got up, grabbed Yin Xinyue relentlessly, and hugged her tightly.
"What are you going to do?" Yin Xinyue suddenly panicked.
Li Xiaohu suddenly said seriously, "It's too high up here, you can't get up here by yourself."
He then tied them together with a rope and gestured to the people above to prepare to pull them up.
Yin Xinyue was clinging tightly to Li Xiaohu at this moment.
Although this scenario has happened countless times.
But this time she felt a surge of heat in her heart.
She wanted to pull away from Li Xiaohu's arm around her waist, but she was also reluctant to let go.
She could only close her eyes and remain silent, pretending she knew nothing, and let him carry her uphill.
After they all returned to the Buddha's head.
They slid across the abyss one by one.
Faced with the pitch-black abyss, Yin Xinyue didn't try to be brave this time and took the initiative to ask Li Xiaohu to take her with him.
Li Xiaohu laughed and slid across the abyss with her in his arms.
Subsequently.
Li Xiaohu and the others returned to the main hall and climbed to the top of the pagoda.
Finally, they left the pagoda and returned to the ruins of Khara-Khoto, a city filled with yellow sand.
It was still late at night outside.
The desert night was exceptionally cold and eerie, accompanied by gusts of chilly wind, causing everyone to instinctively hunch their shoulders.
Partridge Whistle found a nearby ruin that still had a roof and started a fire.
A group of people sat down around the fire.
But no one spoke first; they all remained silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
quite a while.
Partridge Whistle finally spoke slowly, "Brother Little Tiger."
He stood up, clasped his hands in a gesture of apology to Li Xiaohu, and said, "I'm so sorry!"
"I've caused everyone trouble again because of my recklessness!"
If they hadn't lost their temper and become enraged, they could have completely avoided that danger and safely retreated from inside.
Li Xiaohu waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing."
"It's in the past."
"Besides, we all got out safely, so it's not a big deal."
Li Xiaohu could actually understand Partridge Whistle's actions.
After all, the Muchen Pearl was something he had been pursuing his whole life, and he was thinking about it all the time.
This was arguably the closest he had ever come to the Muchen Pearl, and his anticipation reached unprecedented heights.
But in the end, it all came to nothing.
That intense sense of loss.
If it were Li Xiaohu himself, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it either.
The main thing is.
Li Xiaohu has achieved his main objective.
He can now see Partridge Whistle's attitude towards him from his eyes.
If I just give him a little more clue about the Muchen Pearl, he will definitely follow me wholeheartedly!
Even after finding the Muchen Pearl, it will continue to follow him!
Partridge Whistle wanted to say something more, but Li Xiaohu directly cut him off and changed the subject:
"Besides, we didn't leave completely empty-handed this time."
"Didn't they find another Muchen Pearl?"
"Isn't that a clue about the Muchen Pearl recorded on it?"
Upon hearing this, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, suddenly seemed to remember something, exchanged glances, and then exclaimed in alarm, "This is bad!"
Suddenly, Yin Xinyue, who had been quietly standing to the side, felt uneasy and quietly moved her feet a few steps to the side.
Partridge Whistle asked the old foreigner and Hua Ling, "Did you take that Dragon Bone Heavenly Book?"
Old Yang and Hua Ling were also dumbfounded, saying, "We were all focused on you, Senior Brother, and forgot to take it!"
Then the three of them looked at Li Xiaohu.
"Little Tiger, did you take it?"
Li Xiaohu smiled and shook his head.
Partridge Whistle and the other two sighed suddenly, then tried to get up and go back into the tomb to retrieve it.
Li Xiaohu suddenly turned to Yin Xinyue and stretched out his hand, saying with a grin, "Give it to me."
Yin Xinyue stammered, "Wh-what do you mean, bring it here?"
Li Xiaohu laughed and said, "The Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, I saw you take it."
When Yin Xinyue realized she had been exposed, she simply stopped pretending, but changed her story.
"Since none of you want it, I'll keep it."
"Then it's mine. What right do you have to ask me for it?"
Li Xiaohu didn't refute her, but instead went along with her, saying, "What's yours is yours, can I borrow it for a bit?"
"Besides, without us, could you even read the text on it yourself?"
Hong Guniang also offered advice from the side.
Yin Xinyue asked suspiciously, "It's a deal, I'm just borrowing this from you, you have to pay me back later."
Li Xiaohu nodded sincerely.
With some skepticism, Yin Xinyue took the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book out of her bosom and handed it to Li Xiaohu.
Li Xiaohu obtained the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.
Pointing to an eye-shaped symbol on it in the firelight, he said, "There is indeed the mark of the Muchen Pearl on it."
"This shows that it is also related to the Muchen Pearl."
A smile finally appeared on Partridge Whistle's face as he said, "I hope Brother Golden Abacus can decipher the text above."
"When we get back to Shaanxi, I'll ask my senior brother to take a look."
After Li Xiaohu finished speaking...
He naturally put the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book into his bosom.
Yin Xinyue witnessed this shameless scene and was completely stunned!
Are there really such shameless people in the world?!
