C961 Footprint
"Are you sure this is the way you came in?"
This was a pitch black passageway that was wide enough to pass a train. There were two people walking forward in the passageway, one in front and the other behind.
The person in front of him was extremely tall. He was over two meters tall, and was also very muscular. At first glance, he looked like a wall. At the same time, he was carrying a big round iron ball.
At first glance, that metal ball weighed at least a few hundred pounds. Now, when he held it in his hand, it was like a toy, so light that he couldn't tell how much effort was put into it.
The figure of the person in the back was very different from the one in front. He looked to be about six or seven years old. Surprisingly, he was only a child.
On the contrary, he had his hands behind his back as he curiously looked at the passage. The expression on his face was also very old, and the indifference in his eyes made people feel as if he had already gained a lot of experience in life, to the point where he was able to remain calm while walking.
These two people were Zheng Kai and his brother.
That passage was also no other than the one behind the mist Zheng Kai saw in the Spirit Formation temple just now. It was also the entrance and exit for the siblings to go back and forth between their sister to observe the feeding state of the descendants of the White Tiger.
Just now, Zheng Kai and his brother had a long chat on the desert after his sister was captured by the White Tiger descendant. It was during that conversation that Zheng Kai had a general understanding of the brother and sister, as well as the White Tiger descendant and how they met each other.
It was also after that long conversation that Zheng Kai decided to help his brother rescue his sister from the hands of the White Tiger descendants. Just when he wanted to do this but was unable to find any clues, he heard his brother unintentionally talk about this matter.
"You're saying that although this Spirit Formation has an exit, if you didn't want to open it, others wouldn't be able to open it even if they had the strength. If they wanted to exit normally, they would have to leave through the tunnel you came in through?"
"That's right …"
Hearing that Zheng Kai was so thin, his brother still replied with a depressed look. From his frown, it seemed that he was trying his best to figure out where the White Tiger descendant had captured his sister, and how he could find their traces.
"Eh …"
Zheng Kai still remembered how he was feeling at the time. Half of him was angry at him for not telling him earlier why he had such an important clue. The two of them wasted so much time here.
At the same time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was obvious that his brother didn't notice the problem and didn't know how he came to be in the tens of years before he met his sister. It was a miracle that he didn't die of stupidity.
"..."
It was only until then, when the two of them walked together in the passage, that his brother seemed to realize he had just made a huge mistake and said to Zheng Kai.
"Tell me, if there is no other way out, could that big white cat have escaped from here?"
"I don't know, what do you think?"
Faced with his brother's question, Zheng Kai rolled his eyes and let his brother think it through by himself.
To him, this was an extremely simple question. Why did his brother only manage to react to this point? It was also a question that was like a mystery.
"I said yes!"
Zheng Kai originally asked a few teasing questions, but was taken as a question by his younger brother, who was not smart enough. Zheng Kai slightly slowed down his pace and turned around to look at Zheng Kai, who was not easily discovered in the dark, and said in a serious manner.
"If there is no other way and the big white cat and big sister are extinguished within the enchantment, then there is only one answer!"
Under Zheng Kai's look of disbelief, his brother unexpectedly paused for a moment, then pointed at the tunnel in front of him and said to Zheng Kai in a serious tone.
"They must have left from here!"
"Eh …"
Zheng Kai was completely speechless. Looking at his brother's confident look, he couldn't think of anything to say to tease him. Zheng Kai was completely speechless, looking at his brother's assured look, he couldn't think of anything to tease him about.
Zheng Kai felt embarrassed to say too much … Especially since this matter more or less had something to do with him. At this moment, he felt a little awkward as to whether he should speak up or not, but he didn't know what he should say.
In the end, Zheng Kai gritted his teeth and decided to not make a sound. He might as well pretend that he didn't hear what his brother just said. It might be better for both of them.2
In the dark, his brother didn't see the struggle that just appeared on Zheng Kai's face. At this moment, he was still immersed in his' clever and ingenious' plan, with a happy expression on his face as he walked forward, and he even felt that Zheng Kai wasn't as smart as him. After all, he didn't even understand such a simple matter.
"Ai, looks like I have to rely on myself to save my sister!"
As his brother walked, he thought in his heart, at this moment, the burden of saving his sister had clearly fallen entirely on him, and Zheng Kai had already fallen from the role of a capable assistant to the level of a lackey for him. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had some Cultivation Level, perhaps he would be able to help him a little, and his brother wouldn't even think of bringing him along to add to the mess.
No matter how smart Zheng Kai was, he couldn't guess that he had already become another fool in the eyes of a fool. Zheng Kai was in pain from his brother's words. He stopped talking and just followed his brother.
However, Zheng Kai found some clues from his silence.
Zheng Kai didn't know if it was because his figure was too good, his eyes were too far away from the ground, or because his brother's line of sight was affected by the pitch-black environment around him, but he didn't notice that his brother expressed his opinion about the occasional plum blossom shaped footprint on the ground.
"Could it be that it appeared before today, so little brother did not care even after he saw it?"
Thinking about this, Zheng Kai decided that it would be better to confirm this with his brother. After all, this was not a big clue.
"Brother, look at the footprints on the ground. Is it the big white cat?"
"No, those are obviously my big sister's and mine's footprints."
Hearing Zheng Kai's question, his brother replied without lowering his head.
