Chapter 210 Speculation
Not only Lin Xiu, but Ling Feng as well. Still no response. The disciples, curious, tentatively called out "Senior Brother" to Lin Xiu a few times, but there was still no reaction.
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Lin Xiu and Ling Feng? Why are they both so still and silent?!" a disciple exclaimed in alarm.
The child's sudden scream, without any warning, almost ruptured Bai Ke's eardrums.
Bai Ke quickly covered his ears, looked at the guy next to him, and thought, "This guy is really something, a grown man with a voice that's sharper than a woman's, and such a loud voice, he must have been eating too much!"
Of course, besides Bai Ke, the other disciples around him were also quite frightened by the sound and suffered some degree of eardrum damage.
"Hehe, sorry, I got a little excited. I'm so sorry, everyone! I apologize!" The disciple, realizing that he had startled his fellow disciples with his loud voice due to his excitement, awkwardly chuckled and apologized to everyone.
The others didn't take it too seriously and continued to focus their attention on Lin Xiu and Ling Feng.
"Let's go take a look!"
"Let's go!" one disciple suggested, and the other disciples all agreed.
Bai Ke was also very curious. Although he had guessed earlier that the spirit stone was not to be moved easily, it seemed there really was a trap or mechanism involved. Just now, he had deliberately provoked Lin Xiu with his words, using reverse psychology to get Lin Xiu to go forward and try it first.
Just now, Lin Xiu and Ling Feng were pressing him relentlessly, their words constantly emphasizing their selfishness, arrogance, and despotism. Only by provoking Lin Xiu and getting him to touch the spirit stone could his ideas be verified. Therefore, he secretly gave Da Chuan a wink.
Lin Xiu fell into the trap very easily, without Bai Ke having to do anything more, and even Ling Feng, the troublemaker, was dragged into it.
Even if Lin Xiuzhen gets injured or something happens to him later, he doesn't have to take any responsibility.
Everyone witnessed that he had opposed and advised Lin Xiu and the other person, but they ignored his advice and made their own decisions, which led to this situation. This situation made Bai Ke extremely satisfied!
The crowd walked over to observe and saw that the two were still standing there blankly, without any reaction. Both of them were motionless, and Lin Xiu still maintained the same smug expression he had when he was showing off to Bai Ke, his glasses still glancing at the spot where Bai Ke had just been standing.
Ling Feng, still looking like he had just breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the spirit stone in Lin Xiu's hand without any reaction.
After observing for a while, the leading disciple couldn't help but curiously reach out, wanting to touch Lin Xiu's shoulder and pat him.
Bai Ke was shocked to see this and quickly stepped forward to stop the disciple: "Don't move! There might be danger!"
Upon hearing this, the disciple quickly retracted his inner energy and asked Bai Ke, "Senior Brother, what should we do with those two now?"
"This is too strange. Lin Xiu was just bragging to me that the spirit stone was fine, so how could it suddenly stop moving? Could it be that the problem lies with the spirit stone?"
"Senior Brother, what should we do?"
Bai Ke crossed his arms and looked at the scene before him for a moment, then waved to the disciple in front and said, "Since there is a problem with this spirit stone, I will try to throw it back and see what the reaction is."
Just in case, you should stay away from each other. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt!
"Yes!" The disciples at the front felt a warmth in their hearts upon hearing this, thinking that Bai Ke was indeed a responsible senior brother who always considered their needs. So they all agreed in unison and immediately led the others to take a few steps back.
Bai Ke circled around the two people, looking them over, but for safety's sake, he decided it was best not to touch them.
So, he took a step back, flicked his wrist, and used his spiritual power to strike the object in Lin Xiu's hand from a distance. The spirit stone in Lin Xiu's hand fell to the ground.
As the spirit stones fell away, Lin Xiu and Ling Feng finally reacted. Both of them rolled their eyes back and trembled uncontrollably, as if they had been electrocuted.
Just as the disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief and called out the two people's names, the two finally stopped, but then simultaneously fell face down to the ground and fainted...
Bai Ke crouched down, turned the two over, and used his spiritual sense to check on their condition. A disciple nearby, seeing Bai Ke finish his examination, couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, how are Senior Brother Lin Xiu and Lin Feng?"
"It's alright, he just fainted. He should wake up tomorrow." Hearing Bai Ke's words, the disciple breathed a sigh of relief.
If the elders knew that they had not only sneaked out to rob someone's spirit stone vault, but also that Senior Brother Lin Xiu and Ling Feng had gotten into trouble because of it.
Putting everything else aside, Elder Xing, Lin Xiu's father, won't let this go easily, and then there will be no peace.
"It seems the problem really lies with the spirit stone. As soon as the spirit stone came down, Senior Brother Lin Xiu and the others reacted! But, judging from the situation, this spirit stone cannot be touched. So how do we bring the spirit stone back from here?"
"We've come all this way to the spirit stone vault of Moko territory in the Moyun Kingdom, and we can't even bring back any spirit stones. Wouldn't we have made a wasted trip?"
"Yeah, that's right, what are we going to do?" Everyone started chattering again.
"Quiet down, everyone! Let me say something first!" Suddenly, the chattering and discussion among the crowd stopped, and everyone looked at Bai Ke, who had just spoken.
"Listen to me, everyone. When I was examining Lin Xiu and the other man, I found that they were only injured by the power of the lightning and were not seriously hurt."
And since this spirit stone vault wasn't open to the elements, and there wasn't a thunderstorm outside when we arrived, it's likely that the spirit stones themselves contain the power of lightning.
This is evidenced by the fact that they reacted immediately after I knocked the spirit stone from Lin Xiu's hand. I deduced that there are three lines of defense in the spirit stone vault of Moko Territory.
One was the formation that caused us to get lost in that passage; another was those soldiers from earlier; and the last one was these deceptive spirit stones.
The first formation we encountered upon entering was presumably designed to trap those who harbored ill intentions and were unaware of the formation, trapping them there to their deaths.
If someone emerges from the formation, the soldiers will follow. Although there aren't many of them, they will certainly have an alert capable of immediately sending a message back to the Mo Yun Kingdom.
As soon as they discover that someone has broken in, they will immediately send a message to the outside, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
This explains why those people kept stalling when we encountered them earlier; they must have already raised the alarm the moment they realized we had escaped the maze.
