With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Chapter 597 Exploration

The sun was setting over the wasteland, and the crackling sounds were somewhat harsh.

Lin Yue, Ruo'er and Rong Lu moved closer to Qian Qian, "Madam, what's going on?"

Qian Qian frowned and listened carefully, [Tongzi, what's going on? ]

[Money, money,] The system is uneasy, [speed up, it seems like a dragon is about to break out of its shell.]

Qian Qian's expression became stern and he ordered everyone to speed up.

Although they are not young anymore, their bodies have been nourished by the red fruit juice these days and their physical strength is amazing.

Soon everyone came to the cracked ground, and Qianqian was surprised to see a huge hole in the ground.

She stopped and said, "Lin Yueruoer and Rong Lu are guarding outside the cave."

"Yes."

Lin Yue immediately ordered Ruo'er and Rong Lu to form a defensive formation, while Qian Qian threw several night pearls into the pit.

The dark pit suddenly lit up. Li Hao, who had been staring at the pit, said in a deep voice, "Madam, there is someone under this pit."

He was sure that he had just seen a figure, so Qian Qian immediately asked the system, "How is Tongzi?"

The system responded quickly this time, [There is a dragon egg about to hatch at six o'clock, shoot it quickly.]

Teng.

After a loud snapping sound, the area around the altar fell into silence.

The clicking sound in his ears gradually disappeared, but Qianqian did not let down his guard.

[Tongzi, there are still shells that are about to break out,]

"Oh, bitch."

There were shouts and curses coming from the bottom of the pit. Qian Qian looked solemn, "Daxia people?"

Li Hao and Lin Feng looked at each other, pointed their guns at the direction of the sound in the pit, and stared intently with bated breath.

After the curse, the cave returned to silence.

Qian Qian's eyes were deep, [Tongzi, can you eat the whole melon? ]

The system almost doubted its life, [Well, I can’t. ]

【it is good. 】

Qian Qian gave the order without hesitation, "Destroy all the more than 30 dragon eggs below."

"Yes."

Li Hao, Lin Feng and Fang Ziqi opened fire instantly, while Qian Qian carefully walked around the cave entrance, observing and staying alert at all times.

Sure enough, when Li Hao and the other two began to destroy the dragon eggs, screams were heard from below the pit.

There were curses and roars mixed in with the screams, but no one seemed to come to stop them.

Qian Qian was puzzled, [No, the eggs are almost broken, so why don’t those people underground come over to fight? ]

The system was also puzzled, [Strangely, I still can't get the whole story. I only know that there are people underground, but I have no idea who they are. ]

He paused, [Is it possible for money? Those people don’t want to stop it.]

【But】 the system tentatively said, 【there is no way to stop it. 】

Qian Qian frowned, then remembered something and asked again, "Tongzi, can those people underground still absorb the core energy now?"

This time the system was silent for a long time, until Li Hao and his men destroyed all the dragon eggs and the gunfire stopped, then he spoke softly.

[No,] the system was certain, [Although I can't eat the whole melon now, I don't know who are under the cave.]

[But I know that those people underground are not capable of absorbing the core energy. ]

Qian Qian narrowed his eyes, [That's easy. ]

He looked at everyone and said, "All the dragon eggs have been destroyed. Let's go back first."

As he spoke, he took out a peanut-sized core source from the space, and the system once again confirmed that there was no change in the core source.

Qian Qian then took out his airship from the space, and everyone got on the airship but did not leave immediately.

Instead, he observed the deep pit filled with dragon eggshells and egg liquid from different angles from above.

"Tsk," Fang Ziqi said, holding a telescope, "I can't see anything at all."

Lin Feng also observed carefully, "That hole is really big."

Unable to find anything else, Qian Qian and others left the place and met Xiao Ying again.

Upon learning about the situation in the pit, Xiao Ying ordered the secret guards to clean up the battlefield and erase all traces.

Everyone boarded Xiao Ying's bright yellow airship again, and the airship flew all the way to the top of the pit.

It was already dark, Qian Qian discussed with the system, "What do you think, can we let the puppets remove the entire roof of this pit?"

The system hesitated, [It's possible, but I always feel uneasy at night. ]

Money money...

He walked to Xiao Ying and tilted his head to look at her. The young emperor stared at the pit below with a sharp gaze.

Chi Yan stood beside her like a guardian angel with the same deep eyes. Qian Qian told Xiao Ying his thoughts.

"Ying'er, do you think it's feasible to let the puppet work late at night to lift the roof of the pit?"

Xiao Ying finally turned his gaze away from the pit. Instead of answering Qian Qian immediately, he reached out and gently stroked the red mane on Chi Yan's neck.

Chi Yan turned his head and looked at Xiao Ying. Just the glances between the man and the beast seemed to convey thousands of words.

Qian Qian did not urge him. He waited for a moment and heard Xiao Ying say in a deep voice, "Aunt."

"Chi Yan can go down and watch over the puppets and guard the pit."

Money money...

He walked over to Chi Yan and rubbed his head, "Are you sure, kid?"

"Clang clang clang."

Chi Yan's voice was soft and coquettish, but his eyes were unusually firm.

Qian Qian was moved by the unquestionable determination, and for a moment he felt emotional, "Chi Yan, San Ya will definitely be proud of you."

"Zheng——"

The red flame roared, and Qian Qian nodded towards Xiao Ying.

A moment later, three puppets and Red Flame appeared beside the deep pit.

The puppet's movements have been programmed and it begins to dig without stopping.

Chi Yan was patrolling around the pit vigilantly like a patrol soldier. Qian Qian watched for a while on the airship and then went into the space to wash up and rest.

Xiao Ying kept his eyes on Chi Yan until daybreak.

"Your Majesty," Lin Yue felt distressed when she saw Xiao Ying staring at Chi Yan with cold eyes all night, "Can you take a short nap and have a rest?"

Xiao Ying didn't even give her a look, and shook his head slowly, "It's okay."

Lin Yue didn't dare to persuade them anymore and went to help the cooks prepare breakfast.

When Qianqian woke up and was about to leave the space, Sanya and Erdan suddenly called Qianqian.

"Ooooooooo."

Erdan hummed a few times, and suddenly a transparent bubble came out of his mouth.

Money money...

"This is,"

Before she could even ask a word, San Ya also made a clanging sound and a transparent bubble came out of her mouth.

The two transparent bubbles merged into one.

Money money...

[Tongzi, what's going on? ]

[That is a defensive artifact created by the Paradise Divine Beast using its own spiritual energy.]

After the system explained, Qianqian looked into Sanya’s eyes.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "I know. I know that Chiyan might be dangerous this time."

"I will give this artifact to Chi Yan as soon as I get out."

"Zheng——"

Sanya nodded her dark head to Qianqian's shoulder, and Qianqian smiled kindly.

She left the space and told Xiao Ying that San Ya and Er Dan had given gifts to Chi Yan.

"Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs."

Qian Qian stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the huge deep pit.

After a whole night, the three puppets had removed a lot of the top of the pit.

From her angle of view, she could see the outline of a black cross-shaped wooden stake through the top of the dug hole.

A human figure could be vaguely seen in front of the wooden stake, and Qian Qian's smile froze on his face.

[There is... someone tied to Tongzi's cross? ]

The system said in a solemn voice, [Yes, Qian Qian’s true heart-wrenching plan has appeared...]
