Chapter 231: Straw

Let’s not talk about whether his thoughts were rational.

But after experiencing the episode of Jing God’s residual spirit, Jing Yi felt hungry.

He picked up the dry food and water, and stuffed them into his mouth until he was full, feeling refreshed.

Standing up, Jing Yi moved his stiff and sore body a little, and walked out of the palace.

What he saw was a mess.

In a daze, Jing Yi saw the body of Jing Cong.

The body had already rotted and stank, and the huge hole in the chest that Jing Yi had dug out seemed like a silent accusation from Jing Cong.

Even until his death, Jing Cong did not know the mission his family was burdened with, nor did he know why his father had dealt such a deadly blow to him!

Then he turned around and looked at the members of the Heaven Saber Gang.

Without too much thought, Jing Yi could tell what had happened outside…

The Heaven Saber Gang was definitely gone.

That old fox, Meijixi, would definitely not miss this opportunity. He would surely completely disintegrate the Heaven Saber Gang during the two months that Jing Yi was absent.

Thinking back to before coming to the ruins, he was a prominent figure in Archean City, below only one person and above tens of thousands.

However, just two months later, he had become a lone individual…

He had given too much and received too little!

It made Jing Yi feel like a clown…

“No, it’s not like… 1 really have become a clown.”

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a strange curve that became larger and larger. Jing Yi looked up at the sky and laughed maniacally like a lunatic, and it took a long time before he stopped.

“Alright… alright.”

“Anyway, I’ve lost everything.”

“Let’s go take a look… Let’s go take a look!”

After roughly identifying the direction, Jing Yi walked into the forest, one step at a time.

The Flame Clan Ruin was vast.

But, there were also many explorers in Archean City.

It had been over two months since the opening of the Flame Clan Ruin. The footsteps of the explorers had already spread from Archean City to the forest behind it.

Today, the renowned exploration team in Archean City, the Soro Exploration Team, had reached deep into the forest.

The team consisted of seven people,all of whom had the strength of the Physique Realm. As the seven-person team advanced, they would occasionally check their direction, as if they had a predetermined target.

The captain, Soro suddenly spoke, “Over here, I smell the scent of Blue-Yellow Grass.”

The purpose of the Soro Exploration Team’s deep venture into the ruins this time was to find a rare medicinal herb that had long gone extinct outside- Blue-Yellow Grass.

This herb was the main ingredient for a rare elixir known as Blue-Yellow Pill, which could allow a Level Nine Physique Realm expert to experience the formation process of spiritual pressure in advance. In other words,

Blue-Yellow Pill could help a level nine Physique Realm expert break through to the Spirit Realm.

The value of the Blue-Yellow grass was self-evident.

Under Soro’s lead, the group of seven quickly moved forward. However, not long after, Soro suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“There’s someone…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a figure emerged from the front.

Disheveled and ragged.

Expressionless with lifeless eyes.

Soro and his team stopped and looked at this person. They noticed that he simply looked at them in a daze before walking past them and into the distance.

“Weirdo.”

Feng Wu, the team’s beauty, muttered in a coquettish voice. As she finished speaking, a burly man next to her suddenly spoke up.

“That person looks so strangely familiar…”

“I think he’s the leader of the Heaven Saber Gang, Jing Yi!”

His words shocked everyone….

Jing Yi, who had once been a prominent figure in Archean City, was naturally known to the members of the Soro Exploration Team.

Although the current Jing Yi had an unkempt beard and a shabby appearance, his facial features had not changed much.

After confirming his identity, the seven of them immediately started whispering.

“Awhile ago, the Divine Dao Alliance wiped out the Heaven Saber Gang. This Jing Yi did not appear from beginning to end. Everyone thought that Jing Yi had already died in Flame City, but now, he has appeared here…”

“Well, that’s strange. 1 wonder what Jing Yi is hiding here for.”

“I’m even more curious about where Jing Yi is going now?”

The seven of them muttered for a long time.

Captain Soro’s eyes flashed and he said, “Let’s follow and take a look.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the team nodded in unison.

Jing Yi was once a big shot to the Soro Exploration Team.

However, now that the Heaven Saber Gang had been destroyed, Jing Yi was alone. Although Jing Yi was at Level nine of the Physique Realm, Soro also had the strength of Level eight of the Physique Realm.

The Soro Exploration Team was not afraid of Jing Yi who was alone.

On the contrary, they felt that if Jing Yi really had some secrets, the Soro Exploration Team might as well kill him and snatch his treasures. In Archean City, the exploration team also had the role of bandits.

As for the Blue-Yellow Grass they were looking for on this trip…

Hey, that thing did not have legs. It could not run away.

The Soro Exploration Team followed behind Jing Yi.

They watched as Jing Yi crossed mountains and rivers.

With eight people in total, one in front and seven behind, it took them three hours to arrive at a cave.

Jing Yi turned his head slightly to look behind him, as if he had long sensed the presence of the Soro Exploration Team.

But, Jing Yi did not care.

He just stood at the entrance of the cave and pondered for a moment before saying softly, “Jing Yi, in the name of the seven gods, the Flame Clan, Fire, Blaze, Flame, Melt, Incinerate, and Explosion!”

This was the activation passphrase!

In fact, the passphrase was quite simple—speaking of which, the ruins were the hiding place of the Flame Clan and there were no outsiders, so there was no need for a complex passphrase.

As Jing Yi uttered the passphrase, a white light suddenly flashed at the entrance of the cave in front of him.

The white light flickered continuously. Soon, a pure white light gate covered the entrance of the cave and appeared in front of Jing Yi.

This scene made everyone in the Soro Exploration Team exclaim faintly.

They immediately realized that they had stumbled upon a huge secret!

But Jing Yi continued to pay no attention.

He just took a step forward and entered the white gate. With a flash of light, both the white gate and Jing Yi disappeared.

At this moment, the seven people of the Soro Exploration Team quickly walked out from behind and arrived at the entrance of the cave.

They looked around but could not find any trace of Jing Yi.

The cave was a dead end, with nothing beyond ten meters.

The seven of them gathered in front of the cave. Soro pondered for a moment and said,

“Wait, let’s wait here!”

There was no reason for the Soro Exploration Team to miss such an opportunity.

Since they could not enter with Jing Yi, they might as well wait at the entrance and see if they could seize an opportunity.

In a flash, Jing Yi felt a momentary daze in his mind, and then he quickly regained his clarity.

When he opened his eyes, Jing Yi immediately felt that everything before him had changed dramatically.

Originally, he was standing in front of a cave, surrounded by lush grass and towering trees.

However, after passing through the light gate…

He found himself in an advanced high-tech laboratory.

The walls around him were made of metal.

Hidden white lights within the walls made the place as bright as day.

What was even more astonishing was that after Jing Yi observed for only five seconds, a synthesized pleasant female voice suddenly sounded.

“Welcome to the Flame Clan Royal First Research Institute. I’m the administrator of this place, the Artificial Intelligence: Crimson Queen. I’m at your service..”
