Chapter 2708 Three Treasures

"Who is Xiaobao?" Angel asked in confusion.

The wise master: "You can think of it as the hole you saw before."

Hearing this answer, everyone looked at each other with subtle expressions. A hole actually has a name? And the name is so, um, cute?

Speaking of which, the description of Xiaobao by the wise master does not seem to be a simple hole, but more like some kind of intelligent life? Or a mechanical puppet?

The wise master also noticed that everyone seemed to be confused about the name "Xiaobao". He didn't intend to say much, but he suddenly thought of something...

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to explain?

The wise master thought about the wording and said: "You seem to care about Xiaobao's name? If it knew your reaction, it would probably swallow you up even if Dabao didn't stop it."

"Dabao? Xiaobao? Isn't there Zhongbao?" Dox complained.

The wise master glanced at Dox: "There is no middle treasure, but there is a second treasure."

Angel: "We have no ill will towards its name, but we didn't expect that a cave entrance would have such a cute name."

"They are not ordinary cave entrances." The wise master looked at the black earl meaningfully: "If they are really ordinary cave entrances, how can you keep monitoring their movements?"

The black earl: "If you have doubts, you will naturally want to know more."

The wise master: "This is normal, but when you are looking at the little treasure, the little treasure is also looking at you. You think it is a cave entrance, but in fact it is its eyes, its mouth, its ears, and even its weapon."

Angel: "Is it an alchemical creation?"

The wise master shook his head: "No, it has a body, haven't you seen it?"

Seeing that Angel was still confused, the wise master did not continue to talk about Xiaobao's structure, but returned to the previous question: "You just said its name is 'cute'?"

Angel: "Is there a problem?"

The wise master: "Of course no problem, I also think this name is cute. However, Xiaobao doesn't like people saying that its name is cute, it is more eager to have a mighty and domineering name. Once it hears someone say it is cute, it will swallow people."

When the wise master said this, he smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Is this behavior more cute?"

Angel: "..." Is there a gap in our understanding of cuteness?

The wise master continued to talk to himself: "Xiaobao's full name is One-eyed Xiaobao. Its two brothers are the One-eyed Dabao and One-eyed Erbao I mentioned before."

"Compared to the mature and steady Dabao and the deep and quiet Erbao, Xiaobao's personality is quite naughty. Maybe it's because it is the youngest child and is more favored?" The wise master: "Its mother loves it very much. Of course, I also love it. After all, I watched it grow up, so I can tolerate it occasionally playing pranks."

"Speaking of pranks, I suddenly remembered an interesting thing about Xiaobao."

The wise master's words were very casual, as if he was really talking about an interesting thing, but in his inner world that no one noticed, the wise master tightened his heartstrings and began to organize his words more carefully.

Make sure that what he says next seems very casual... Never let them see that he actually cares a lot.

"Interesting thing?" Angel asked very "wisely".

"That's right. I remember you said before that Xixia showed you my research topic?"

Angel nodded. Although what the wise master said was not quite right, he had seen this niche topic in the magazine before he met Xixia, but it shouldn't be important when he saw it.

Wise Master: "This topic is the most inconspicuous one among the topics I studied on the ecology of witch ghosts. It is the least valuable, but also the most interesting one."

"I think it is very valuable." Angel was not flattering. He agreed that the topic "Recording the Different Postures of the Fusion of Witch Ghosts" was inconspicuous, but he disagreed to say that it was worthless.

It was precisely because of this research topic that Angel got the silver pendant belonging to the wood spirit without alarming the beautiful witch ghost.

The topic that can be listed in the column "Inconspicuous Wizard Tricks" is inconspicuous, but it is also a "trick".

"Do you think it's valuable?" The Wise Lord was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look of enlightenment: "That's right, young and energetic, I can understand that he likes this kind of 'interesting' topic."

Angel didn't react at first, until the Wise Lord blinked inexplicably, he suddenly realized that the Wise Lord seemed to have misunderstood something...

Angel was about to explain, but he saw that the Wise Lord showed a leisurely expression, as if waiting for him to explain.

In that kind smile, Angel read out a sentence: Explain, explain it casually, I understand, I believe it.

Angel choked on the words of explanation in his throat. Forget it, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, if he really explained, it means that he "understood" the implied meaning of the Wise Lord. It's better not to explain, just think that the Wise Lord is really praising him for being "young and energetic", without any hidden meaning, although this is not a good thing.

Angel didn't respond, and the Wise Lord didn't care. He had already sorted out his words and continued, "Speaking of which, this interesting topic is of little value... I personally think it has no value, but it's an interesting topic that I can't enjoy alone. Of course, I have to share it with others."

The Wise Lord: "So, I decided to submit this topic to a certain magazine."

"However, I naturally wouldn't personally ask about such a trivial matter as submitting an article. I gave the manuscript to Xiaobao and asked him to do it. Unexpectedly, the magazine contacted and needed a pen name. Xiaobao... Alas."

The Wise Lord sighed and said with an expression of "an old father doting on his naughty child": "Unexpectedly, Xiaobao got naughty and took a nickname that he and his brothers called me privately without my consent."

The Wise Lord said it casually, but he deliberately showed a helpless expression on the two key points of "without my consent" and "Xiaobao took it" to deepen everyone's impression.

"That's why I got that slightly strange... pen name."

After listening to the words of the Wise Lord, the others didn't have any expression, but Dox looked enlightened: "So that's how the blue fat man got his name. I thought..."

"What did you think?" The Wise Lord smiled and looked at Dox, his eyes full of love.

Dox felt a chill in his back for no reason, and couldn't help but say, "No, nothing, it's just that the name is pretty nice."

Angel watched Dox suddenly stutter, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Even the Wise Lord couldn't bear to say the pen name, Dox blurted it out, it would be strange if he didn't remember it.

Yes, whether others noticed that the Wise Lord cared about the pen name, Angel didn't know, but Angel did.

As early as the first meeting, when the wise man asked Angel what information he got from Xixia, Angel noticed that when he mentioned the Wise Lord's pen name, the Wise Lord was embarrassed.

At that time, the Wise Lord didn't know that Angel had a perception of emotions beyond ordinary people, so he didn't cover it up, and Angel saw it all.

Later, after the Wise Lord took the initiative to conceal his emotions, Angel began to slowly lose the ability to detect his emotional changes.

But Angel remembered not to mention the pen name in front of the Wise Lord.

This time, the wise master took the initiative to mention the research topic. Ingres was a little confused at first. Later, the wise master extended the submission incident through Xiaobao's mischief and explained the origin of his pen name. Ingres realized that the wise master was probably unwilling to be misunderstood and wanted to explain it when he got the chance.

But even when explaining, the wise master still avoided the pen name, which shows how much he cares about the pen name.

At this time, Dox happened to touch the tiger's whiskers, and he could only lament for him.

However, Ingres only dared to lament in his heart, and his face was still following the crowd, with a look of "this pen name was made by Xiaobao, it's really naughty" and "watching the fun of the naughty child".

The wise master did not realize that Ingres had actually seen through his inner drama.

After secretly noting Dox, the wise master immediately changed the subject: "Xiaobao has many mischievous things, these are just the tip of the iceberg, not worth mentioning."

Ingres said silently in his heart: Not worth mentioning, then you still mentioned it.

"Let's get back to the point. Your guess is correct, but not entirely correct." The wise master looked at Angel.

"You said that the family of One-eyed Xiaobao is her chess piece, and this definition is correct. Because this species came from the ruins. It is very likely that 'she' brought it out from a certain world."

"However, not all members of this family are her chess pieces."

Angel: "Isn't Xiaobao her chess piece?"

Wise master: "Xiaobao listens to her, but also to me."

The meaning of this sentence is also very clear. Even if Xiaobao really becomes a test created by 'she' for Angel and others, the wise master has a way to make Xiaobao listen to him. So, Xiaobao can be considered not her chess piece.

Angel: "Then her chess piece is...?"

The wise master's answer is very obscure: "Whether it is Dabao, Erbao or Xiaobao, they are actually small holes. You should have encountered them along the way."

"Your real test is a big hole."

Big hole? Angel frowned. He remembered that the wise master seemed to have mentioned an existence before: "Their mother?"

The wise master did not say yes or no, but introduced their mother.

"Their mother is called Younu. It is a hole bigger than them. If it exerts its full strength, it can even swallow up half of the underground waterway." The wise master: "Its swallowing is very special. It ignores all defenses. As long as you are within its swallowing range, no matter how strong you are, it will be useless."

"And the things it swallowed can only be released by itself and her in the leftover land. Even if I am swallowed, it will be the same."

Although the wise master did not explicitly say that the test came from Younu, he began to describe Younu's ability. Everyone was basically sure that Younu was very likely to become a link for her to stop everyone.

Dox: "Then as long as you don't pass through its range, there will be no problem, right?"

Wise Lord: "Xiaobao, Dabao, and Erbao can close the cave entrance. Do you think their mother can't close the cave entrance and hide it? Moreover, as I said before, its engulfing range is very large. If it hides on the road you must pass, can you find it?"

Dox: "Then it has no weaknesses?"

Wise Lord looked at Angel with a meaningful look: "This is your test."

Angel, who was inexplicably stared at, looked puzzled: "My test? Isn't it our test?"

The wise master did not answer, but said with emotion: "Younu, has been with me longer than Dabao and the others. It has made great contributions to the underground waterway. It actually listens to me very much, but..."

The wise master did not finish her words, but everyone guessed what she had not said.

Younu listened to the wise master, but it listened to her even more.

"I can only tell you two things. First, my hall has been renovated. It will not come to my hall or pass through my hall. Second, when it is in a hidden state, it cannot open its mouth too wide, but it is no problem to fill the aisle. After it reveals its true form, the speed of opening its mouth is also limited, and it cannot reach the peak immediately."

"Oh, there is one more thing, you can't kill it. In fact, it's useless to say this. You can't kill it unless... his strength meets the standard and there is a way to locate his true form."

The "he" mentioned by the wise master is exactly what he is looking at... Kael.

"However, even if he can do it, you still can't kill it, and even hurt it, you must try to avoid it."

Angel: "Why?"

Wise Lord: "Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao listen to me, but listen to its mother more. Believe me, if you really have to face off, you will be more willing to face Younu."

When the Wise Lord said this, his expression was very serious, and he was really warning them.

This means that once they hurt Younu, its three children may be hostile to them. And Younu's three children, even in the mouth of the Wise Lord, are... dangerous?

As for why it is dangerous, the Wise Lord is unwilling to say more.

After the Wise Lord said this, he paused for a long time, as if to give them time to discuss.

Everyone also analyzed what the Wise Lord said in the mind band.

At present, the known information is that Younu has basically been confirmed to be a test she left for everyone, and it is not necessarily the only test, it is very likely to be just one of the tests.

Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaobao are not necessarily not tests, but once they become tests, the wise master has a way to persuade them to let go.

Younu is a test they will inevitably face, but they cannot harm Younu.

According to the information given by the wise master, the only way to pass the test is to reach the Wise Hall. Younu will not enter the Wise Hall, and reaching the hall means the end of the test.

But the wise master clearly said that even if Younu is in a hidden state, it can occupy the entire corridor.

In other words, even if they find where Younu is hiding, they cannot pass through the corridor.

So how can they reach the Wise Hall?
