The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2197 Meng Su

Matthew stood there quietly, his eyes deep, and it was obvious that he had understood what Qinglong and Zhuque had not said.

He raised his head slightly, looking at the azure sky that seemed to be hiding something mysterious. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The core area is still far away from here, and it is impossible to reach it in a short time. Besides, Baihu and Xuanwu are seriously injured, and they need some time to recuperate in seclusion before they can recover their vitality."

His voice was steady and firm, slowly echoing in the air with unquestionable determination.

"It is not a wise choice for us to rush into the core area before they have fully recovered."

Matthew paused, his eyes swept across the slightly anxious faces of Qinglong and Zhuque, and a sharp insight into the world flashed in his eyes.

"I know that you are filled with anger. Seeing the demons acting so arrogantly, how can you, as the kings of the alien beasts, remain indifferent? If you really can't hold it back, I will allow the two of you to go and wipe out some demons, just to vent the anger in your hearts."

When Qinglong and Zhuque heard this, a look of surprise instantly appeared on their faces. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, and saw astonishment and surprise in each other's eyes.

Originally, they discussed repeatedly in private before deciding to use cautious words to test Matthew's attitude. Although they had such a desire in their hearts, facing Matthew's usual majesty and coldness, they really didn't dare to be sure that Matthew would agree.

After all, the situation is delicate at the moment, and every decision is a matter of life and death.

After a brief moment of shock, Qinglong and Zhuque quickly came to their senses. They were filled with gratitude and immediately bowed down together, prostrating themselves to Matthew, and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Master, for your help!"

The voice was full of respect and excitement, just like a soldier about to go to war who had received approval from his commander, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Seeing this, Matthew nodded slightly and said with concern: "Go, be careful on this trip, don't act rashly, and don't fight. The demons are cunning and insidious, and you will fall into an irretrievable situation if you are not careful. I will only give you half a month. After half a month, no matter what the battle situation is, you must return here unscathed. By then, we still have many important things to plan together, and we must not miss the overall situation because of a momentary impulse."

As he spoke, he gently waved his hand. That seemingly casual movement contained an order that could not be disobeyed.

Azure Dragon and Suzaku looked at each other again, and the two responded to each other. Then they stretched out their bodies, transformed into two streams of light, and rushed towards the direction where the demons were wreaking the most havoc.

In an instant, the wind howled, sand and rocks flew, leaving Matthew alone standing there quietly, looking in the direction they were going, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Baihu and Xuanwu are currently recuperating underground and it is impossible for them to fully recover in a short period of time.

Matthew stood there quietly. The breeze blew gently, ruffling the corners of his clothes, but it could not blow away the heavy thoughts in his heart.

His brows were slightly furrowed, like a deep ravine, and his eyes were full of contemplation, as if he was trapped in an invisible maze and was struggling to find a way out.

After a long time, as if a ray of dawn penetrated the haze, he seemed to suddenly catch some key clue, his eyes suddenly brightened, and his originally dark eyes instantly burst out with a sharp light, just like the first ray of morning light penetrating the clouds at dawn.

Then, without hesitation, he took a big step forward with a nimble posture, and ran straight in a specific direction. The dust raised under his feet seemed to be the embodiment of his anxious mood at the moment.

After speeding all the way, Matthew finally arrived at a remote and secluded place where few people had ever been.

This place is surrounded by rugged rocks and overgrown weeds, with only a slightly tilted large stone standing abruptly in the middle.

Matthew looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then he slowly walked to the big rock, gently brushed off the dust on the surface of the rock, and then sat on it.

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, but he could not hide his fatigue, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

At this moment, Matthew slowly raised his head, his eyes cast towards the vast and boundless sky in the distance, which looked like a dream painting. However, his heart had already transcended the scene before his eyes, like a nimble bird, flying through layers of clouds and flying straight to communicate with the skinny old man in the Qinglong bracelet.

"Senior Meng."

Matthew raised his head slightly and murmured softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the world.

"Before, there were so many complicated things and dangers everywhere that I could not find a suitable time to ask you some crucial things. You also know that along the way, I have experienced countless hardships and obstacles and encountered many twists and turns, but fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard. Now, I have finally tried my best and collected all seven spirit beads!"

"I wonder if you are willing to tell me the secret of the core area at this moment?"

As Matthew muttered to himself, he secretly gathered his spiritual power and, through telepathy, quietly transmitted a message to the Azure Dragon bracelet on his wrist.

The Senior Meng he mentioned was the skinny old man he met in the cave.

Later, Matthew saved the old man by chance. To express his gratitude, the old man took the initiative to reveal his real name, Meng Su.

Just as Matthew finished transmitting the message, a hoarse and deep voice that seemed to come from ancient time and space broke the silence: "Seven spirit beads... You actually collected them all? You are really amazing, kid!"

The voice was filled with shock and disbelief.

Hearing this, Matthew raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a humble smile, but did not say anything.

He just calmly took out an antique and heavy wooden box from his storage bag.

There were mysterious and intricate patterns carved on the box. Matthew gently opened the box. In an instant, the bright light emitted by the seven spirit beads was like a gorgeous rainbow, instantly illuminating the dark place.

The light of the spirit pearl flows as if it has life, and each halo seems to contain endless mysterious power.

Although Meng Su was inside the Qinglong bracelet, he could see the situation outside through the bracelet.

Therefore, Matthew only showed it briefly and then quickly closed the box and put it into his storage bag.

It is enough to let Meng Su know that he already has seven spirit beads in his hands. There is no need to elaborate on the other details to avoid complications and unnecessary trouble.

"Since you have already obtained seven spirit beads, I can indeed tell you about the things in the core area. However, before that, you'd better go to the birch forest." Meng Su took a deep breath and said slowly.

Matthew was slightly stunned when he heard the other party mention the birch forest.

After all, the other party said the same thing to Na Luo at that time.
