Dark Bridge (This Chapter Is Nuclear-Powered)

The Wife pointed to the cannon-shaped device and said to Li Banfeng, "This thing looks somewhat similar to that Magnetic Vibration Cannon from before, but its function is completely different. Little Slave call it the Dark Bridge Cannon."

The Dark Bridge Cannon was created by Little Slave based on Yu Yaoming and Sao Tizi's lectures, but a large part of the method was designed by Little Slave herself. Whether it works or not, Little Slave cannot guarantee.

"My Wife, I am so blessed to have such a precious darling like you!" Li Banfeng was overjoyed.

He danced gracefully in the laboratory while holding his Wife.

He was still dancing the puppet waltz. His Wife wasn't using a record player body this time, but a puppet. Although her body looked better, her feet weren't coordinated enough, and she couldn't keep up with Li Banfeng's Dance Steps. After dancing for about ten minutes, his Wife was panting heavily.

The lighting was also out of place; none of the laboratory lights were actively creating an atmosphere.

Li Banfeng glanced at the lights on the ceiling, about to give a scolding, when he suddenly heard the Old Teapot on the machine speak up, "Brother, don't just praise your wife. We all contributed too. I'm old and thick-skinned, so I'll just tell you the truth today: your wife is really hard to please!"

Dream Virtue also complained, "When Madam is doing experiments, if things go smoothly, it's fine, but if they don't, she takes it out on us, and we get at least twenty lashes!"

Zhong Bai sobbed twice without speaking, while Tang Blade sighed, "The Marshal's temper hasn't changed all these years."

The lights on the ceiling flickered together, seemingly all accusing the Wife.

Zhao Xiaowan glanced around, and the room instantly fell silent. Even the lid of the Old Teapot trembled. They thought Zhao Xiaowan was about to lose her temper again, but unexpectedly, the Wife bowed to everyone and apologized. "Once I'm doing something important, I can't control my temper. You've all had a hard time these past few days. After you go home..."

I discussed with my husband about requesting rewards for everyone.

Li Banfeng waved his hand. "What's there to discuss? They should all be rewarded. My Wife can decide."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the lights on the ceiling came on. Li Banfeng touched the Dark Bridge Cannon his Wife had made and kissed Zhao Xiaowan: "My dear Wife, when shall we go and try out this cannon?"

"It can't be tested yet; we're missing the last component, the Lie Root Stone."

"What is that?"

"The 'Lie Root Stone' is a unique Spiritual Object found Pro State. Normally, it looks no different from an ordinary stone, but if you tell it a hundred lies every day, the Lie Root Stone' will take root in the soil and then slowly grow."

This stone excels at creating illusions and fabricating lies. Because its abilities aren't particularly strong, yet it's extremely troublesome to raise, it's nearly extinct.

Li Banfeng opened Yu Yaoming's lecture notes. "Don't worry, my Wife. As long as Yu Yaoming has used this, I'm sure I can find it in Outer State."

Xiao Wan shook her head. "Yu Yaoming has never used this thing, nor has that slut mentioned it in her lectures, nor has the Lavsha People mentioned the Lie Root Stone in their blackboard writings. This was entirely Little Slave own idea."

Li Banfeng put the lecture notes aside. "Wife, do you know where the 'Lie Root Stone' is?"

"In Little Slave's memory, there was a Soda Kiln and there was also a Virtue Praise Cliff."

What kind of place is Virtue Praise Cliff?

"In the territory of Dexiu, there are more than two hundred Dexiu living on Virtue Praise Cliff, each controlling more than two hundred villages—"

The mere mention of Dexiu made Li Banfeng feel nauseous. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not going to that place. I'm going to the Soda Kiln to bring the stone back."

Li Banfeng didn't go directly to the Soda Kiln; he went to Ma Wu's territory.

Feng Daiku was dealing with the land reclamation work, while Ma Wu was comforting the newly arrived Bagworm Moth Madam.

"You haven't been eating properly these past few days, you've gotten so thin!" Ma Wu carried a bucket and fed Bagworm Moth Madam porridge.

Bagworm Moth Madam lowered her head and said, "I haven't been feeling like eating lately, it seems like I'm pregnant—"

Feng Daiku, cold laugh, "You and him want to have something going on? Dream on!"

Li Banfeng found Feng Daiku and asked about the Lie Root Stone. Feng Daiku was feeling annoyed and, since he had the pleasure of seeing Li Qi, he quickly accompanied him to the Soda Kiln.

Although she hadn't been in charge of the territory for long, Feng Daiku had a thorough understanding of everything, big and small, about the Soda Kiln, and she quickly found the whereabouts of the Lie Root Stone.

"Back then, Shi Gongxing possessed a 'Lie Root Stone,' but it was later exchanged for two magical treasures by a merchant."

It is said that this merchant sold the Lie Root Stone to the Guanfang Hall at a high price, and the Guanfang Hall then transported the Lie Root Stone to Outer State. As for where it ended up after Outer State, I have no idea.

After going to Outer State, where else can I go?

There's a high probability he'll go to the Dark Star Bureau.

But how should I bring this up with Little Shen?

If he finds out that I took the Lie Root Stone, will he suspect that I'm researching ways to break the boundary?

Yuezhou, Dark Star Bureau.

Shen Jingye threw the materials all over the floor.

Sitting opposite him, Chen Changrui remained silent. He knew that saying anything more would be touching a nerve with Shen Jingye.

"I sent you to investigate Gourd Village, and now the deputy director is in trouble! I need an explanation from the higher-ups, and this is the piece of junk you're trying to fob me off with?"

Chen Changrui has been trying to find out Li Qi's whereabouts, but he hasn't made any progress in the past few days.

Shen Jingye rubbed his forehead. He knew that this matter couldn't be entirely blamed on Chen Changrui, especially since Li Qi's disappearance was something Chen Changrui couldn't control.

But the current situation is really hard for Shen Jingye to accept. For Gourd Village, even doing nothing or letting it go is much better than losing the deputy director, especially since this deputy director is the most successful Balance Person in the history of the Dark Star Bureau.

Shen Jingye was still furious when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

"Who is it? Come back later!" Shen Jingye shouted irritably.

Li Banfeng pushed the door open and walked in. "Little Shen, come to my office."

Shen Jingye stood there, stunned, while Li Banfeng turned and left.

Chen Changrui pretended nothing had happened and sat opposite Shen Jingye without changing his expression.

Shen Jingye was very anxious after Li Qi went missing.

Now that Li Qi has returned, Shen Jingye's feelings have become very complicated.

He gave Chen Changrui an awkward smile, "He usually calls, why did he come by himself today—"

"Well, Director Li is here, that's great news, such great news—"

At the door of Li Qi's office, Shen Jingye repeated twice, "It's good that he's back. I've already given instructions to the higher-ups. The matter of Gourd Village is more or less over."

Shen Jingye tried his best to control his facial expressions, and then smiled before entering Li Qi's office.

"Director Li, you're finally back! I heard you've also entered Gourd Village!"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I didn't enter Gourd Village. I wanted to track the entrance to Gourd Village, but I failed because I didn't have enough tools at the time."

"Tools? You mean Dark Energy Carrier?" Shen Jingye slapped his thigh. "Just tell me what you need! Take whatever tools our department has, and I'll figure out how to get the ones we don't!"

Li Banfeng sneered, "How would I know what tools you have? You're always hiding things from me."

Shen Jingye pursed his lips. "How about this, you tell me what function it has, and I'll have someone find a few suitable ones for you to choose from."

"Little Shen, I'm sincere with you, but you keep asking me for schemes. I think Mystic Life Crimson Lotus is quite suitable. Can you produce her?"

Shen Jingye shook his head and laughed, "I really can't produce that thing."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "That's exactly the point. Tailor your clothes to your needs and eat according to your own circumstances. You'd better show me the list. If you're not willing to show it, then we won't waste our breath. You'll have to figure out your own way if you need anything in the future."

Li Qi got angry, Shen Jingye quickly calmed him down. "I'm not hiding it from you, isn't this the rule in our bureau?"

I won't say much more. I'll have my secretary bring you the list in a bit. Is that enough to show your sincerity?"

Shen Jingye made a phone call, and soon his secretary delivered the list.

Li Banfeng was a little worried that high-end goods like "Lie Root Stone" might appear on the list.

A quick search through the catalog revealed the Lie Root Stone; Little Shen really put in a lot of effort this time!

The key is how to get this "Lie Root Stone" out. Asking for just one item will definitely arouse suspicion. We need to lend out several items together.

Li Banfeng wanted these carriers because he needed them to track the entrance to Gourd Village; such carriers were essential.

He chose a pair of boots, a compass, a pair of glasses, a cane, and a Lie Root Stone.

After reviewing the list, Shen Jingye asked, "Director Li, everything else is negotiable, but what do you need this 'Lie Root Stone' for?"

Li Banfeng said, "Is that even a question? The Lie Root Stone is good at creating illusions. Carrying it can conceal our tracks. If I go to track down Gourd Village and the villagers discover me, wouldn't that get me into trouble? I have to use illusions to hide myself."

Shen Jingye frowned and said, "Can't we just use something else? The bureau has other Illusion Technique mediums."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I've compared them. Things that are too complicated are not suitable. The Lie Root Stone is the most suitable."

"Alright—" Shen Jingye sighed and gestured to his secretary to notify the Carrier Section to bring the items over.

Before long, the head of the Carrier Section, along with his subordinates, brought over several carriers, and Deputy Director Chen, who was in charge of Dark Energy Carrier, also arrived.

As he examined the various carriers laid out before him, Li Banfeng showed no interest in the others; his attention was entirely focused on the Lie Root Stone.

The stone was quite large, about the size of a basketball. It was irregularly shaped and dark yellow in color, like a steamed cake. There were several raised areas with green spots, like the steamed cake had gone moldy.

Just by looking at this thing, it doesn't look like a treasure at all; no one would pick it up if it were left on the street.

After confirming that everything was correct, Li Qi signed the document, and the handover was completed by the Carrier Section.

The moment he saw Li Qi sign his name, Deputy Director Chen smiled.

Shen Jingye looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Director Li, don't use this Lie Root Stone lightly. I'll have someone look for other carriers that can hide your tracks."

Li Qi patted the stone and asked, "Is there something wrong with this thing?"

Shen Jingye explained, "This stone has been with the bureau for some years, but we've never maintained it, so we don't know if it still has any effect."

This is the truth. It is very difficult to cultivate Lie Root Stone. You have to tell it a hundred lies every day. If you leave it unattended for a long time, the Lie Root Stone will indeed easily lose its vitality.

Li Qi nodded and said, "I will be more careful."

Deputy Director Chen wiped his sweat from his brow. He had been chuckling to himself just moments before, but now he was drenched in sweat.

Li Banfeng brought all these carriers back to his residence, placed them in his room, and entrusted them to Actor Cultivator and others for safekeeping. He only brought the Lie Root Stone into his Portable Abode.

The record player was overjoyed to see the Lie Root Stone: "My dear husband, you got such a rare thing so quickly, and it's even a piece like this—"

The record player tapped the Lie Root Stone with the stylus, then sprinkled some hot water on it and observed how quickly the watermark disappeared.

"This 'Lie Root Stone' is a little different, my Little Slave. May I drill a hole in it?"

"Why not? This stone is ours now, my Wife can do whatever she wants with it."

The record player used a stylus to drill a hole in the stone and carefully examined the fragments that came out. "My lord, this is not Lie Root Stone. It's a different kind of stone, only the material looks similar."

Li Banfeng testified. "Wife, has this stone lost its vitality over the years?"

"My dear husband, this isn't about whether it's alive or not. This stone only looks like the Lie Root Stone,' but it doesn't possess any of the Lie Root Stone's' characteristics."

Li Banfeng recalled Deputy Director Chen's eerie smile, and also Shen Jingye's persistent advice and admonitions. The next morning, Li Banfeng summoned Shen Jingye and placed the stone in front of him. "Little Shen, what does this mean?"

Shen Jingye first ordered someone to turn off the surveillance cameras, then pressed his palm down and said, "Director Li, let me explain slowly."

"Don't speak slowly, you'd better speak quickly," Li Banfeng said expressionlessly. "If you speak slowly, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish."

Shen Jingye quickly picked up on the key point. "Didn't Big Head run away before?"

"Don't take this so far!"

"Not far away, the problem lies with him. We suspect that He Jiaqing rescued him and stole a lot of data and materials from the Dark Star Bureau."

At this point, Shen Jingye paused for a moment and looked at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng blinked and asked, "This 'Lie Root Stone' was also stolen by He Jiaqing?"

Shen Jingye nodded slightly.

"That doesn't make sense," Li Banfeng thought carefully for a moment, "You showed me a list of the stolen items, and the Lie Root Stone wasn't on it."

Shen Jingye sighed deeply and said earnestly, "Brother, if we report all the stolen items..."

Can I still sit here and talk to you?

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "You concealed the truth?"

Shen Jingye did not deny it. "I was also thinking about the bigger picture."

"And then they came to me to settle accounts?" Li Banfeng picked up the stone.

Shen Jingye quickly waved his hand and said, "No, brother, calm down. Put the stone down first, and let me explain."

We're true friends. You helped me out, and I'll definitely remember that. Didn't you want information about the two Pro War? I'll get it for you; I should have news in the next few days.

Li Banfeng pointed at the stone and asked, "Did you make this fake stone?"

Shen Jingye laughed and said, "It's not entirely useless. This is called Star Yellow Stone, which is quite rare in Pro State. I'm giving it to you as an apology."

"Apologize? That sounds nice! How are we going to settle the score if you don't give me a gift?" Li Banfeng threw the stone aside. "Shen Jingye, you owe me a huge debt. First, get me a batch of the Harmonizing Agent, then call the Carrier Section over here. I'll ask him for some good stuff."

Shen Jingye nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, it's fine for you to use. It will definitely look good on the books."

"The accounts—" Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, "Make a list of the items that He Jiaqing stole that we can't balance the accounts for yet."

Shen Jingye's eyes lit up. "Brother, do you have a plan?"

"Isn't this exactly what I'm trying to do? We probably can't get these things back, but we should be able to buy them back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingye nodded repeatedly. "Money is easy to come by, I can find it anywhere. The key is that these things are hard to buy. Where can I get the exact same carrier?"

"The accounting is about to be completed. If you could get me one or two items back, it would be a huge help, but you absolutely have to get them before the first inventory check..."

Back at Portable Abode, Li Banfeng carefully looked at the list Shen Jingye had given him.

The record player asked, "My lord, have the people from Outer State admitted it? We can't pin this fake Lie Root Stone on us."

"I'm not afraid of him denying it. I'm thinking about how to get the real Lie Root Stone back. He Jiaqing stole it, and I plan to go to He Jiaqing to get it back."

The record player shook its loudspeaker and said, "This won't do. If you ask He Jiaqing for the Lie Root Stone,' it's the same as telling him that the Lie Root Stone' is very useful. He's such a cunning person. He either won't give it to you or he'll definitely find out how it's used. All our hard work over the years might just be taken advantage of by him."

Li Banfeng also thought of this, "So we can't just ask him for the Lie Root Stone; we have to ask him for a few more things to confuse the issue."

The record player still felt uneasy. "I'm afraid I can't fool him. If it were me, I wouldn't give you anything unless you told him what these things are for."

"Yes, we must tell him."

"My lord, listen to Little Slave, don't go looking for He Jiaqing, go to Virtue Praise Cliff instead!"

"No, I absolutely refuse to go to Virtue Praise Cliff!" Li Banfeng put away the list and went to Pro State.

He Yuxiu was still organizing land reclamation within the territory, but she was too hasty in her actions, and the Three-Headed People were starting to feel the strain.

Ye Jianhuang advised, "Miss He, I've never seen anyone as impatient as you. You've only been in charge of this land for a few days, and you've already cleared over two thousand square meters. Are you still complaining about the slow pace?"

He Yuxiu laughed and said, "I want to get a Proper Land as soon as possible, gain popularity on the Proper Land, and then gain cultivation."

Ye Jianhuang snorted, "Let me tell you, this was only Li Qi's idea. Go ask around in the surrounding areas and see how many local Local Earth God in Xindi have been working for a hundred years and still haven't managed to develop a thousand square meters of Land Block."

Let me tell you, clearing land isn't just a matter of you acknowledging it; the local authorities have to acknowledge it too. If you keep causing trouble like this, and the local authorities turn against you, they might not let you clear land for several years. Let's see what solutions you can come up with then.

He Yuxiu laughed and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, we can discuss it with the local authorities."

Ye Jianhuang lit a pipe of dry tobacco and sneered, "Girl, it's not that I look down on you, you're a good fighter, but when it comes to other skills, I don't know where to begin."

I'll just ask you one question: do you know how to talk to the local authorities?

He Yuxiu gazed into the distance, her expression one of anticipation and longing.

"Stop pretending," Ye Jianhuang flicked his pipe. "If you don't even know how to talk to the local authorities, how can you possibly discuss things with them?"

"What time is it? Stop making a fuss. Let's get some good food and drinks and have a good New Year together first."

Li Banfeng said to He Yuxiu, "Xiu Er, I think Brother Ye makes sense."

Ye Jianhuang snorted, "Seventh Brother, you're always so elusive. If I'm not careful next time and we end up fighting, don't blame me."

"Brother Ye, I have something urgent to discuss with Xiu Er about a business deal."

He Yuxiu asked, "What kind of business?"

Li Banfeng handed the list to He Yuxiu: "These are a batch of Spiritual Object lost by the Dark Star Bureau. Jiaqing took them. Could you talk to Jiaqing about it? The Dark Star Bureau is willing to pay to buy them back, as long as the price isn't too outrageous."

He Yuxiu was a little embarrassed. "Seventh Brother, I heard that you and Jiaqing don't get along very well, but I am his aunt after all. Please don't use this to hurt him."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "What could I possibly do to harm him? I have to work for the government in Outer State. I'm only here to do business with him to settle accounts."

I've managed to level everything that could be leveled before, but these few items are simply impossible to level. Could you talk to him about it? Consider it a favor to me.

He Yuxiu nodded and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. I'll definitely help you with this. If he refuses to return the things to you, I'll find a way to get them for you."

He Yuxiu sent someone to the newspaper office to have Shen Rongqing contact He Jiaqing.

Two days later, He Jiaqing appeared in Xindi and went to a wooden house in the woods to see He Yuxiu.

He Yuxiu explained the situation, He Jiaqing remained skeptical. "Li Qi asked me for these things just to settle the Dark Star Bureau's accounts?"

Before answering He Jiaqing's question, He Yuxiu first asked, "Tell me first whether you took these things?"

"I took it," He Jiaqing did not deny it.

"That's fine then. Give me the things, and I'll give them to Seventh Brother. The two of you don't need to have any contact, and you don't need to worry about Seventh Brother harming you."

He Jiaqing remained silent for a long time, He Yuxiu grew impatient. "What do you mean? Is it okay or not? Give me a straight answer!"

"Aunt, it's not that I don't trust Li Qi, it's just that this matter—"

"Stop it! If you can't trust others, can't you trust me? I'll take all the risks for you!"

He Jiaqing looked at the list again. "There are quite a few things in here that I've already sold. It won't be easy to get them back. Aunt, give me some time. I'll go out and ask around first."

Having navigated the world of martial arts for so many years, He Yuxiu naturally understood these tactics. "Jiaqing, things from Outer State don't sell so easily in Pro State. I think you don't want to hand them over and are deliberately stalling me."

"Aunt, we Daoists have rules. Things that shouldn't be kept must be sold off immediately. Tomorrow night, at this same time, I will give you an answer."

After leaving Xindi, He Jiaqing went to Big Head's place. Big Head's wife and children were asleep, so He Jiaqing took the opportunity to discuss something with him:

"In your Dark Star Bureau, is settling accounts considered a big deal?"

"That must be a big deal."

Is it urgent?

"It depends on when," Big Head said, glancing at the calendar. "It's almost New Year's Day, and we need to balance the books before the year-end accounting. It's extremely urgent now."

He Jiaqing then asked, "Do we need to settle all the accounts?"

"That's not necessarily true; different accounts require different handling methods."

"What should be done with the accounts for magical artifacts and Spiritual Object?"

"You're talking about the Dark Energy Carrier's account," Big Head explained. "Dark Energy Carrier are part of weapon configurations. If two or three are damaged, the Carrier Section can handle it on its own. If more than five are damaged, then it will be handled by Deputy Director Chen, who is in charge of carriers. If more than ten are damaged, Shen Jingye must handle it personally, and even then, the matter may not be resolved."

Hearing this, He Jiaqing understood. "In other words, we'll recover as many items as we can."

"That's for sure. Once we find one, we have to send it back to the bureau immediately, before the higher-ups conduct a inventory check."

The next day, He Jiaqing went to Liu's Pawnshop.

When the shopkeeper saw He Jiaqing, he quickly invited him to the back room. He Jiaqing went straight to the warehouse, dismissed the others, and opened a wooden box from the warehouse.

The box contained about a dozen Dark Energy Carrier, all of which were taken from the Dark Star Bureau. He Jiaqing selected a scarf and an umbrella.

He Jiaqing took out a fishing line from his pocket, wrapped it around the umbrella and scarf several times, and waited for a full hour before he finally took the fishing line off.

He hooked the hooks onto both of these objects.

The longer the fishing line is tangled, the deeper the hook gets caught, and the harder it is for others to spot.

After hanging up the hook, He Jiaqing waited until evening before taking his scarf and umbrella and heading to Xindi.

He Yuxiu looked at the two items with great dissatisfaction. "Jiaqing, I rarely ask you for anything, and you only bring me two things? This list has more than twenty items!"

"I can get two items right now. Give them to Li Qi and tell him to wait for me for a few more days."

"Alright, name your price."

He Jiaqing waved his hand. "I don't want the money, I just ask Li Qi to put in a good word for me and Guanfang Hall to be more lenient with me."

Seeing that He Jiaqing's attitude was sincere, He Yuxiu agreed. The next morning, she handed the items to Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng didn't mind that it was too little and returned to Yuezhou that day, where he gave the items to Shen Jingye.

Shen Jingye was overjoyed. "Brother, I certainly can't let you spend money on these two items."

Li Banfeng relayed the information truthfully. "He Jiaqing didn't ask for money, he just wanted some leniency. If the leniency is right, maybe we can get a few more items back."

Shen Jingye thought about it and called Liao Zihui that day.

The two talked for half an hour and settled the matter. Liao Zihui contacted the Guanfang Envoy of the Ink Fragrance Shop and obtained permission for one of Duan Shuqun's factories to reopen.

Since He Jiaqing was wanted by the police, the factory has been closed until now. Now that it has finally reopened, Duan Shuqun was overjoyed and immediately told He Jiaqing the good news.

He Jiaqing sat in the pawnshop's warehouse and opened the box again.

The information obtained by the hook proves that Li Banfeng is indeed settling accounts for the Dark Star Bureau.

News from the factory confirms that the compensation for balancing accounts is very generous.

He Jiaqing took out six carriers and handed them over to He Yuxiu that same evening.

This time he didn't use any hooks. He knew that the Dark Star Bureau would discover the hooks sooner or later. The things that needed to be verified had already been verified. He didn't need to damage the hard-won tacit understanding between the two sides for trivial matters.

He Yuxiu glanced at the six artifacts and frowned, saying, "How long are you going to take to finish this piece of junk?"

He Jiaqing laughed and said, "Isn't this a process of searching back little by little? I'll have to trouble my aunt to put in a good word for me."

The next day, Li Banfeng received the six items, one of which was a dark yellow stone with green spots on it.

"My lord, this is the Lie Root Stone!" the record player exclaimed excitedly.

Li Banfeng said, "This was sent by He Jiaqing. Let's check it first to see if there are any hooks on it."

"Little Slave checked, there's no hook. Little Slave 'll get to work now and load this stone onto the Dark Bridge Cannon!"

Li Banfeng handed over the remaining items to Shen Jingye, Shen Jingye then contacted Liao Zihui again and released He Jiaqing's three businesses.

He Jiaqing was delighted and quickly sent more things to He Yuxiu.

This time, Li Banfeng wasn't in a hurry to get it; he had serious business to attend to.

With all the experimental equipment ready, Li Banfeng and his family helped his Wife with the work.

After three whole days of work, the Dark Bridge Cannon was completed.

Li Banfeng went to Bei Wushuang's territory, which was the most desolate of all the territories he controlled, because there were no Strange Monsters there anymore.

Li Banfeng entered a Pine Forest and first carried his Wife and Dark Bridge Cannon out of the house.

Then, using the technique of Close Doors and Windows, he created a halo around himself.

The halo of the House Cultivator is very similar in nature to the boundary. Li Banfeng used the old method to conduct an experiment using the halo instead of the boundary.

The record player checked the Dark Bridge Cannon and confirmed that everything was in order, but before starting the experiment, the record player still had some concerns.

"My lord, the Work Method of the Dark Bridge Cannon is too complicated. Little Slave afraid there might be mistakes. Please be careful when you experiment with it."

"Don't worry, my Wife, I've already made preparations." Li Banfeng brought two Cabbage Man -like Cabbage Man with him, who would scout ahead for him in a while.

The Wife closed the first switch, the electromagnetic device was charged, the Dark Bridge Cannon fired its first shot, and a shadow appeared on the halo.

"Husband, this shadow is the entrance to the first hidden bridge." After saying that, the Wife closed the second blade gate, the Lie Root Stone was charged, and the Dark Bridge Cannon fired its second shot. Within the shadow, another shadow was nested.

"My lord, this is the entrance to the second hidden bridge."

Li Banfeng asked, "Why build two hidden bridges?"

"The first hidden bridge is real, made with a magnetic field, and can take my husband into the wormhole."

The second hidden bridge is an illusion, created using the illusion of the Lie Root Stone. It can take my husband out of the wormhole, and only by relying on this wormhole can we cross the boundary.

Li Banfeng called over a Cabbage Man and had him walk towards the shadows.

The moment the Cabbage Man passed through the shadow, it turned into a cloud of ash, just like an ordinary person crossing a boundary.

The record player felt a chill. "Looks like this thing still doesn't work."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Wife, don't be impatient. Wait a little longer. The halo I created with my technique won't turn the Cabbage Man into ashes so quickly."

After waiting for two minutes, a little over ten meters away from the halo, the Cabbage Man slowly and unsteadily appeared!

Li Banfeng was overjoyed and embraced his Wife, saying, "It's done, my darling Wife, our Dark Bridge Cannon is a success!"

The Wife was also delighted. She sucked Li Banfeng 'Li Banfeng head into the loudspeaker and led him in a waltz for half an hour.

The following evening, Li Banfeng arrived at Ma Bamboo Mountain to prepare for the second round of experiments.

This time he was going to cross a real boundary, the boundary between Green Water Bay and Medicine King Gully.

The record player was equipped with Dark Bridge Cannon, and two concealed bridges were erected one after another.

Li Banfeng first had the Cabbage Man clear the way. The Cabbage Man entered the wormhole and took two minutes to reappear about ten meters away.

The record player explained, "My lord, no matter which boundary we cross, our hidden bridge leads to the same wormhole. Yesterday's situation is the same as today's, so you don't need to worry."

That's what they said, but when it came time for Li Banfeng to leave, the record player was still worried.

Li Banfeng took out the key from his pocket and handed it to the record player. "Wife, if I can't get out, remember to come home yourself."

The record player pushed the key back to Li Banfeng: "Don't talk nonsense! If my Little Slave can't get out, I'll go with him. No matter where or when, we'll be together!"

1

Li Banfeng nodded, took a deep breath, and walked into the shadows.

The moment his feet stepped into the shadow, it was as if he had pushed open an ancient door, dust flying everywhere and making Li Banfeng cough.

So this is where the ashes come from!

Li Banfeng's body blended into the shadows, but what he saw was not pitch black; there was a faint light illuminating the road ahead.

The road seemed to be paved with dust, the surface was extremely fine, yet it was very solid when stepped on.

Li Banfeng looked up but couldn't see the end of the road. He dared not walk too fast, for he didn't know what would happen if he strayed from the road.

After walking for a little over a minute, Li Banfeng suddenly heard someone say, "My lord, it seems like someone else is coming."

Following the sound, Li Banfeng saw a man in White Clothes on his left, looking in his direction.

Isn't this a wormhole?

Why would there be people inside a wormhole?

The person's voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, Li Banfeng heard someone speaking again.

"That's strange. I also sensed someone coming, but why can't I see them?"

Following the sound, Li Banfeng saw an Immortal Crane, taller than an Immortal Crane by two heads, talking to the man in White Clothes.

P. S.: Dear readers, do you still remember the Immortal Crane and the man in White Clothes?
