Chapter 1085: Chapter 518: Square Pig牌 Transformer

After a night of sneaking, Wei Zhuang returned to the safe house with modest gains but inexplicably received a hit from a cane.

He looked innocently at Zhu Luo, who was holding a cane and wearing small leather pants, with a baffled expression.

Instinctively, Wei Zhuang looked at Zhang Ze, but Zhang Ze paid him no attention at all.

With his back to everyone, he sat in the corner of the bed, holding Li with one arm and seriously rubbing her belly.

Every time he rubbed for a while, a burst of Fuji’s giggling would come from Li’s belly.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ze’s other hand was moving back and forth in front of him, seemingly fiddling with something.

From the action and range, it looked urgent.

Wei Zhuang then looked at Qin Lang, who also did not speak, just whistled and tilted his head to study the genuine ceiling of the room.

With no alternatives, Wei Zhuang didn’t dare ask further questions and awkwardly changed the topic.

"It’s good that you’re okay, just now I went out with Sect Leader Lu to investigate and found some clues. The Heaven-Reaching Tower isn’t completely impregnable."

Having said that, Wei Zhuang waved his hand, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi gathered to form a 3D map of part of Dubhe City.

He pointed to a location on the map.

"There’s actually a second route connecting Baiyujing to the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Apart from the main path we’ve seen, which transports treasures, there’s a path on the tower’s backside responsible for releasing ’waste.’

The two paths don’t connect with each other, and the second waste disposal route is more rudimentary than the tower’s path and much newer, obviously built later than the Heaven-Reaching Tower."

"So Xiao Jing is really eating inside Baiyujing?" Zhang Ze, who had been listening with perked ears, interjected.

"But clearly his appetite and method are lacking. Halfway through, he realized his belly was full, so he had to build a new sewer to eat and excrete simultaneously.

Not like my Li, who just eats without..."

Before Zhang Ze finished speaking, Li delivered a rocket headbutt, cutting off his unfinished words.

Wei Zhuang glanced at Zhang Ze and nodded in agreement.

"That’s roughly the idea. Because it was hastily constructed later, the ’disposal route’ is much less defended than the main tower’s path."

"So infiltrating there wouldn’t provoke an attack from the Heaven-Reaching Tower."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Luo’s eyebrows slightly relaxed.

He had once personally experienced the power of the main tower, and it didn’t feel good.

Even though the personnel is now complete, rushing in isn’t completely secure, and even if successful, they’d be exhausted and might encounter unforeseen problems. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Back during the top cultivator battles of the Central Continent, many were hanging there swinging on swings.

"Is the other side unguarded?" Zhu Luo asked.

"There are guards." Wei Zhuang pointed to the map, "It is labeled as a path, but it’s actually a series of floating platforms, each platform has some Colorful Robes stationed, numbering from six to ten.

Aside from those Colorful Robes, there’s another guard.

That’s the mysterious ’black gas.’

"Black gas?" Zhang Ze turned his head curiously toward Uncle.

With the help of the Black Sword and Lu Yuzhou, Wei Zhuang had largely suppressed the black gas tormenting him; now, with the Black Sword in hand, he’s regained at least eighty percent of his power and returned to the Mahayana realm.

It’s just not long-lasting, exerting force for half an hour means resting for two to three days.

Basically, he still needs to practice.

Hearing mention of the black gas, both Zhu Luo and Qin Lang’s faces became serious.

Because, apart from Zhang Ze, who isn’t quite human, the black gas has always been a guillotine hanging over their heads.

Although they’ve each managed to evade it once, encountering it several more times would surely be unbearable.

Noticing everyone looking at him, Wei Zhuang spoke in a deep tone.

"That black gas is expelled from Baiyujing."

Wei Zhuang squeezed his hand, and the simulated Dubhe City began to shrink, and moments later, the whole model of the Holy Land appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Within the spherical Holy Land, many golden light spots floated.

Those light spots represent the golden Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that Fuji can consume.

The golden Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are gathered in Dubhe City and then entered into Baiyujing through the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

After that, they’re ’digested’ by Baiyujing and transformed into black gas to be expelled.

The black gas follows the newly created ’pipeline,’ infiltrates the land beneath the Holy Land, and beyond, forming a barely detectable membrane, enveloping the Holy Land and separating it from the Earth Sea.

"When we entered, the reason we got infected with the black gas was because we broke through that membrane."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang frowned slightly, "But if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean this path is also a dead end?"

"Not at all." Wei Zhuang shook his head, "Everything in nature has its counterbalance, and the black gas is no exception.

"Although Xiao Jing utilizes the black gas, it’s also not beneficial for him.

"To prevent the massive leak of black gas into the Holy Land, affecting his plans, he’s made some adjustments on that disposal channel.

"The channel itself can, to a certain extent, constrain and restrict the black gas.

"Sect Leader Lu’s idea is that we dismantle some scraps and use them as shields to push directly through the channel."

Qin Lang deliberated for a moment, thinking the method might just work.

Dismantling the pipeline isn’t hard; he’s proficient in borrowing things, and as for those guarding the pipeline, the Colorful Robes...

Doesn’t matter; now there are a hundred or so Cat Lady dwellers beneath the Dubhe City, adding a few more above wouldn’t be an issue.

Perfect for rounding them up in multiples of four to form a band.

Zhu Luo also thought it was feasible.
