The stolen magic is a bit magical

Entering the top-secret space was not necessary for Lin Xiaosu, and she should not have resorted to this drastic measure.

However, there's always a "but"...

These two people were so serious and responsible in their work that they insisted on testing genes. Although they looked unsophisticated and theoretically had nothing to do with modern technology, Lin Xiaosu had no doubt that the bronze plate in their hands could easily detect that they were not from the Li Tian clan.

no solution anymore.

The only option is to kill!

After the two men died, Lin Xiaosu began to take off his clothes. The next moment, his own clothes entered his inner secret realm, and he put on the clothes and shoes of one of the Li Tian clan members.

The clothes felt slightly cool against the skin and carried a biological scent.

The shoes were even more unique, made entirely of the skin of some kind of creature. They were breathable and comfortable against the skin, even more so than genuine leather shoes bought in modern society.

He searched the pockets of both sets of clothes and found a crystalline thin sheet with a string of patterns and ancient clerical script: one tael, ten taels, twenty taels, fifty taels.

Banknote!

These are actually silver notes!

The currency system of a world best reflects its fundamental character.

Lin Xiaosu understands utopia less and less.

In Utopia's headquarters, the high-ranking officials exude a strong aura of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The language spoken is Chinese.

The entrance gate to the temple is the "Five Elements Gate".

This is clearly underground currency, exactly the same as the currency system of the feudal society of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the characters on it are also the characters of the feudal society of the Great Xia Dynasty.

What kind of race is this?
What kind of world is this?
Why is there such a close connection with the Great Xia?
If this entrance were within the territory of Great Xia, such a performance would not be surprising at all. The mutual penetration between the two worlds and the advanced management system can change a world.

Borrowing is perfectly normal.

For example, Kuncang, doesn't it also reflect the characteristics of the feudal era of the Great Xia Dynasty?

However, this is not the Great Xia Dynasty; it has never belonged to the Great Xia Dynasty from ancient times to the present.

If it were to come into contact with the outside world, it would be assimilated. It would likely be assimilated into the current Middle East, and it would be absolutely impossible for it to connect with the ancient Great Xia Kingdom thousands of miles away...

This was a huge question in Lin Xiaosu's mind.

However, the most urgent task at hand is to destroy the evidence.

With a gentle lift of his hand, the two corpses, each with its head, flew out of the mountain god temple and splashed into a lake below.

This lake, with its churning lava, is clearly an underground lava lake.

As soon as the smoke rose, the two guardians of the mountain god temple vanished without a trace.

As for why they disappeared, Lin Xiaosu had no obligation to explain.

Stepping out of the mountain god temple, Lin Xiaosu was stunned.

As time rewound, he saw the last silhouettes of the two people.

Black and white double image.

He tracked down the Left Envoy and Qingru all the way.

He could no longer pursue those two.

Because they flew away into the air...

I was riding on a strange, large bird with crimson wings, three sharp claws, and a body as big as a house.

Xiang Yixiu, who specializes in studying the subterranean races, mentioned them in his materials.

This bird is called the "Three-Legged Red Crow".

The two envoys entered the underground secret realm and, in some way he could not know, made contact with the ancestral hall of the Li Tian clan. The ancestral hall dispatched a three-legged red crow that traversed thousands of miles of underground void to pick them up.

When flying through the air, if Lin Xiaosu can't fly, he can't keep up.

He can only walk.

Walking along an underground lake where lava is churning is not a pleasant experience.

He often took walks by the lake.

South Lake, East Lake, Tashan Lake...

Every time I stroll along the lake, a gentle breeze caresses my face, and I can smell the fragrance of the mountains and waters.

But underground, it's a completely different story.

A wave of heat hit us.

The smell of sulfur was pungent.

He didn't know how much oxygen was in the air, but he figured that even if it wouldn't suffocate him or kill him, it would take him a very long time to get used to it.

Is this the environment in which silicon-based organisms can live?

As they turned past the mountain bend, Lin Xiaosu's eyes widened.

At the mountain promontory in front, lava has transformed into a waterfall, cascading down.

The crimson light illuminated a city ahead.

Within the city walls, tall buildings stand in rows, and people come and go, creating a bustling and lively atmosphere.

Moreover, as far as the eye can see, there are countless cities like this.

The Heavenly Eye, traversing hundreds of miles of sky, accurately locked onto the people moving through the city, completely overturning his worldview.

Although these people walk upright, wear clothing mainly in the "Hanfu" style, and behave like humans.

However, upon closer inspection, most of them do not resemble humans.

The majority of them have scales on their bodies.

Some were tall, at least three meters tall, while others were short, less than one meter tall. Some had a pair of fleshy wings on their backs, and some had three sharp, cone-like fingers.

Most have two eyes, but occasionally there are three eyes, and some even have no eyes at all.

This……

These are the alien races from the Earth's core!
That door!
It's not a simple portal; it's a formation!
Although the Middle East may seem to be separated from this world by only a passage, in fact, they are two completely different worlds.

Lin Xiaosu's gaze locked onto a few people hurrying by on the street, and she let out a soft breath.

I felt somewhat relaxed.

Because these people are people in the truest sense. They are the Li Tian clan.

The Li Tian clan has a large presence in this city, accounting for more than one-tenth of the population.

His entry into such a city, at least, wouldn't be too out of place.

With one step, Lin Xiaosu was about to step into the Earth's core world, a place he had always wanted to understand in depth.

Suddenly, I felt something strange under my feet.

A voice called out in my ear: "Ah!"

Its cries were somewhat pitiful.

Lin Xiaosu suddenly pulled her foot back, staring in surprise at a long tentacle beneath her feet.

At the end of the tentacles was an "oddball".

It has a head, shoulders, six arms, and two legs.

It looks like an octopus.

However, after he stepped on it, the arm retracted. Of the six arms, four were crossed over the chest, and two were waving like normal human arms. It stood up with two relatively thick thighs. If you ignored the details of the body and only looked at the outline, it was clearly a human figure.

This is weird.

What's even stranger is that Lin Xiaosu's perception was unprecedented, yet she couldn't sense his life force.

So much so that he stepped right on the person.

This is the first time in Lin Xiaosu's history.

As his heart pounded, the strange man crossed his arms and said, "Young man, you stepped on my hand without any reason. It would be unreasonable not to give an explanation."

His voice was old and weathered.

He can speak!

And it seems like they're being reasonable.

If we reason with each other, things will be much easier.

Lin Xiaosu bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, sir, I really didn't see you. It was an unintentional mistake."

"I, Lao Zhang, am not an unreasonable person. Just compensate me with some things!" said Lao Zhang, the strange man.

I rely on!

compensation?

I suspect you're trying to scam me.

You're lying by the roadside, your hands... let's assume your tentacles are "hands"...

He stretched his hand out to the middle of the road.

What do you mean?
Besides, I stopped as soon as I felt something was wrong with my foot. How could I possibly damage your hands with their thick skin?

The screams were terrifying, clearly characteristic of a staged accident scam.

Alright, alright, I guess I'm just having a run of bad luck, even underground I can run into a "scammer." Lin Xiaosu decided to let it go: "Okay, how much?"

"Money? I, Old Zhang, have lived for three thousand years, haven't I ever seen money before? Why would I need your stinking money?" Old Zhang said, "Take out some of the dry rations you brought from that world!"

Lin Xiaosu's eyes widened: "That world?"

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore!" Old Zhang laughed, his whiskers trembling with laughter. "I know you're a member of the Li Tian clan. Li Tian clan members who come down from the Mountain God Temple all have food from that world on them. Just give them some!"

"Give me whatever you want?" Lin Xiaosu stared at him.

They did not clarify their origins.

Because as members of the Litian clan, they are people who are allowed to live in that world.

This old man, who specifically guards the foot of the mountain god temple, probably really can guess his origins.

"Give me whatever you want!" Old Zhang's eyes, which didn't look human, revealed a strong longing.

"Then I'll just go with whatever you want!" Lin Xiaosu raised her hand, and a small bag of snacks appeared in her palm.

His space was filled with snacks; he figured he might as well use them, and carrying them around wouldn't be a problem. Therefore, he was one of the very few people in the world who carried piles of snacks with him.

This bag of snacks is "Want Want Little Buns".

Old Zhang stretched out his hand, his arm suddenly extended, and he snatched the bag of snacks with lightning speed, tearing it open!
Wow!
Small steamed buns were scattered all over the ground.

Old Zhang stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth, and his eyes lit up instantly.

The next moment, his laughter was exceptionally enthusiastic: "Delicious! So delicious..."

Swish!
With all six arms moving at once, in the blink of an eye, a dazzling array of small steamed buns were scattered all over the ground. He picked them all up without missing a single one, even those covered in dirt.

Lin Xiaosu stared wide-eyed, wanting to write a diary entry...

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, I entered the underground world and encountered an old man who looked a lot like an octopus who tried to extort a bag of Want Want Little Buns from me.

He picked up the small steamed buns one by one, which were scattered all over the ground.

“Young man, you are very generous, much more generous than the person I met last time. You are very good, very good…” The old man put another small steamed bun into his mouth, his eyes half-closed, looking quite pleased with himself.

Lin Xiaosu sighed inwardly and decided to wrap up her diary: If this old man is a veteran of insurance fraud, he has undoubtedly shown some conscience. A bag of Want Want mini buns is enough to appease him. He didn't intend to turn my BMW into a bicycle.

"You can go now!" the old man concluded with his remark.

Lin Xiaosu didn't leave: "Grandpa, can we chat?"

Old Zhang stopped: "Chatting?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "Yes, there are some things I want to ask the old man..."

He reached out and handed over another bag of snacks.

This bag costs ten times as much as Want Want Little Buns; it's a bag of sandwich cookies.

Old Zhang got excited, took the bag of sandwich cookies, and tore it open.

He learned from his previous mistake and this time tore the cookie open more carefully, without spilling any. He cautiously picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and was completely overwhelmed...

Lin Xiaosu looked at his expression.

This is treating sandwich cookies like a delicacy! A bag of cookies that costs only a few dollars is really something else!
My inner feelings boiled down to one sentence: "Grandpa, do you really like the snacks from that world that much?"

Old Zhang nodded: "I have lived for three thousand years and have tasted all kinds of races underground. I have tried them fried, stewed, and eaten them raw, but I have never tasted such fragrance and sweetness."

Lin Xiaosu caught a sensitive word he used: underground races!
He was referring to a race, not a strange beast!
Damn! You don't eat people, do you? (End of Chapter)
