Lu Li did not have the courage to check. He did not even have the courage to sense what was going on outside. At the moment, if he were to do anything out of the ordinary, the scouts would notice.
Those that dared to sneak into the basin must be good scouts.
However, the roars of the small wild beast alerted the wild beasts in the distance. With some angry roars, several wild beasts came back.
It was a prefecture warrior. He heard the roars of the wild beasts in the distance, but he did not panic.
Quickly traversing the basin, he used his Divine Sense to scan the entire basin before slipping away from the other side.
"Woo, woo ~"
Those wild beasts came back and went after that prefecture warrior. Lu Li finally had the courage to check the surroundings.
Lu Li was worried. Nobody could tell if this prefecture warrior had discovered the Wicked Bead.
If so, a large number of prefecture warriors would be mobilized.
There were dozens of wild beasts here. They looked scary. However, hundreds of prefecture warriors could kill them all easily.
"Should I leave?
Or should I stay here? "
Lu Li was hesitating. If he left, he might not be able to find such a good hiding place. On the other hand, if he stayed and was surrounded by dozens of prefecture warriors, he would be doomed for sure.
The roars of the wild beasts were getting further and further away. An hour later, all the wild beasts came back. Only one of them had died.
It seemed that not many prefecture warriors had come and they did not fight.
"Never mind. I don't think I should leave. I will stay here."
Lu Li thought about it and decided to stay hidden.
He did not know how many prefecture warriors were searching nearby. It would be dangerous for him to go out now and he would be spotted by prefecture warriors.
Having made up his mind, Lu Li did not worry anymore. He continued to read while he took control of the Wicked Bead.
The next few days were quiet. Not a single prefecture warrior came, which put Lu Li's mind at ease.
Eight days later, Lu Li was alarmed. All the wild beasts were flying toward the south. Clearly, someone was approaching.
"What is going on?"
Lu Li frowned. He used the Wicked Bead to check. Soon, he noticed that someone had entered the basin and was checking with psychic power.
"Woo, woo ~"
The small wild beast bellowed in rage. More wild beasts came back from the distance. That person ran away again.
"Something's wrong …"
Lu Li threw the book on the table. He was confused. Why didn't the prefecture warriors give up?
Could it be that he suspects something?
Since there were suspicions, why didn't they mobilize a large number of Official Soldiers to eliminate the wild beasts?
"Oh right!"
Lu Li rolled his eyes. He suddenly figured out the key to the matter.
The Official Guard was probably not here to look for him, but for his belongings.
In other words, he was here for — the Wicked Bead!
God of Wings had been coveting the Wicked Bead. She would not give it up even in the Heaven Reverse Universe. Later on, she took over Zi Lian's body and tried to snatch the Wicked Bead.
This time, she was willing to spend a million or more Divine Sources to kill him, not to vent her anger, but for … the Wicked Bead!
God of Wings must be aware of the Wicked Bead's background, which was why she was willing to pay any price to get it.
Whether Lu Li had died here or not, the Wicked Bead must be here. That was why the Wicked Bead would be sent here again and again.
He had disguised the scene of him being killed by wild beasts. Therefore, his Interspatial Ring and the Wicked Bead must be left in the basin.
His enemies would not give up. They would keep on searching.
If they could not find anything, they would try to kill all the wild beasts.
"What to do?"
Lu Li frowned as he pondered. He could tell that there were not many of them, two or three at most. Otherwise, they would not have lured the wild beasts away and killed them directly.
However, he could not move or else he would be exposed.
The scouts that came in did not come for the Wicked Bead directly. They must not have noticed.
The little wild beast had been sitting here with the Wicked Bead under it. The scouts would be distracted by the little wild beast and would not notice the Wicked Bead.
Silence was the best solution.
Lu Li decided to wait patiently and wait for the right time.
He could not afford to be careless or the consequences would be even more serious.
Half a day later, the group of wild beasts came back. Lu Li checked secretly and felt troubled.
Another wild beast was gone. It seemed that the prefecture warriors had begun to clear out the wild beasts. They were going to turn the basin upside down or dissect the bodies of the wild beasts …
They might suspect that Lu Li had been swallowed by the wild beasts and that the Interspatial Ring and the Wicked Bead were all in the wild beasts' stomachs.
The prefecture warriors had fewer people. They had to kill the wild beasts one by one and search step by step.
Just as Lu Li had expected!
A day later, another group of wild beasts flew out. That prefecture warrior came to the basin again. However, he was chased away by the wild beasts that came back.
Half a day later, the group of wild beasts came back. Another one was killed!
Lu Li could tell what the enemy's strategy was. They were going to kill all the wild beasts and find the Wicked Bead even if they had to dig deep.
Half a day later, the wild beasts were lured out again. This time, nobody went into the basin to check.
They must have thought that Lu Li had been swallowed by the wild beasts and the Wicked Bead was in the wild beasts' stomachs.
"Deaf Taoist, how is your strength?"
Lu Li sent over the Deaf Taoist who was cultivating and asked. The Deaf Taoist came back to his senses and explained, "I have consumed over a dozen pieces of Spring Gold and my strength has improved a bit. If I want to progress quickly, I have to rely on Spring Gold … which is difficult.
If there are other materials, I will be able to improve faster. But we cannot get them now. "
"Other materials?"
Lu Li's eyes glowed. He stood up and said, "Come with me."
Lu Li brought the Deaf Taoist to the third hall in the hall. There were many kinds of materials in the hall. The energy of many materials even scared Lu Li.
"Well …"
The Deaf Taoist was frightened as well, especially when he saw an eyeball. He felt his soul was being sucked in. The Deaf Taoist took three steps back in fright.
"Don't look at that eye, and don't look at the head on the left. Hurry up and see if there are any materials you need. We cannot stay here for too long or something will go wrong."
Lu Li said. The Deaf Taoist calmed himself down and checked. A moment later, the Deaf Taoist trembled and said in excitement, "Red Flake, there is Red Flake here. That is the best material.
Even the Demon Kings have a hard time getting their hands on a peerless divine material … "
Lu Li threw the Deaf Taoist a glance and asked, "Is that useful for your cultivation?"
"Of course!"
The Deaf Taoist nodded. "Lord, where did you get these materials?
I don't think even a mighty warrior in the Divinity can get them.
You have three pieces of Red Flake here, which are priceless. I think each piece is worth at least one million Divine Sources. "
"So valuable?"
Lu Li was taken aback. There were mountains of materials here. If each of them was worth hundreds of thousands of Divine Sources, then he would be rich.
Naturally, he did not get those materials, nor did Emperor Heng. They were the collections of that master craftsman, Tian Lingzi.
Tian Lingzi was so rich?
Could a master craftsman be as rich as a country?
"Alright, don't ask so many questions. Take the Red Flake and go!"
Lu Li waved his hand. The Deaf Taoist rushed out with three strange-shaped pieces of red wood in his hand. He was so overjoyed that he almost dropped to his knees in front of Lu Li.
"Hurry up and consume them!"
