1327 Would He Drill Into The Ground? (2/2)

When the weaker party was out and was likely to be bullied, the other party would end up being worried about the weaker party. Di Fuyi used to ask her to keep a low profile and create minimal problems. Now, she was the one who felt like saying it to Di Fuyi.

It was only when they truly cared for each other that one party would help the other party to clean up their mess. Di Fuyi had been severely injured this time around. He seemed to have a habit of going for a retreat whenever he got hurt. Therefore, he left as soon as he was able to move.

Though he clearly stated that he would be back after nine days, Gu Xijiu was still worried about him. She came out from her house and asked Luo Zhanyu where was the best place for a retreat nearby the village.

Luo Zhanyu frowned. ”The safest place is in the village. Everywhere else is very dangerous regardless of whether it is the peripheral or the mountain or even the top of a tree. However, I have searched every corner of the village and asked everyone about him. No one seemed to have seen him and the mussel…”

Suddenly, he recalled something. ”Oh yeah, someone did tell me that he saw the mussel appearing from underneath the banana-milk tree. After that, he lost sight of it.”

Was it really underneath the tree?

Gu Xijiu turned and ran towards the banana-milk tree.

She had climbed up and down this tree countless times. She was very familiar with the surrounding area, and so she searched every possible corner that Di Fuyi could have gone. However, she was still unable to find him.

It was impossible for him to get up onto the tree. There were a lot of noisy baboons living among the trees. However, he needed a tranquil place for his retreat. If he was not on the tree, could he have gone underground?

Her heartbeat raced even faster!

The mussel could burrow underground. Gu Xijiu remembered that the mussel had informed her before that there was a lot of air inside the roots of the banana-milk tree and it was filled with immense amounts of spiritual power.

Had he brought the mussel so that it would help him to drill into the roots of the banana-milk tree? Gu Xijiu had the urge to start digging through the soil in search of him. Fortunately, she gave up on the crazy idea.

According to the mussel, the roots grew deep into the ground. In the past, it used to take 15 minutes to travel to the surface from deep inside its roots.
