《Croceus croceus》E23
Episode 23
The entrance to the cave has been firmly sealed, and the Night King cannot invade for the time being. The Denaxi tribe began to count the casualties and found that the losses were heavy. More than half of the tribe members had unfortunately died. The atmosphere was extremely heavy. Wu Xie and Fatty also felt the same.At this time, the foreigner Feng (Lao Feng) reminded everyone not to forget the original intention of this trip.The Denaxi quickly sent the clues collected during the day and some of the Night King's muscle tissue for examination, and began data analysis.
An unprecedented sense of helplessness arose in Wu Xie's heart. He recalled the past hardships he had experienced with the fat man and the little brother. He was always the wise man and took the responsibility, but now that the little brother was gone, he was helpless.The fat man reassured him that Zhang Qiling's choice must have deep meaning, but the time had not come yet and the idea was not clear.
The test results surprised the Denaxi and Lao Feng. The tissues were not the Night King's eyeballs, but actually strange insect bodies with no medicinal value.Lao Feng was secretly shocked, and his assistant was even more furious. Unable to accept that such sacrifices resulted in empty joy, he ordered the scientific research team to recheck the data.
Lao Feng found Wu Xie in private and admitted that he was only the project manager and his responsibility was to ensure the completion of the task. However, the casualties were heavy and the samples obtained were useless. The Night King was hot on his heels and wanted to persuade Wu Xie to give up in order to save everyone's lives..Naive but determined, he vows to eradicate the Night King, because the scroll predicts that the Night King will appear when the sun falls, and he must not be allowed to wreak havoc again.
Lao Feng had the intention of quitting and wanted to disband the team and return home to collect salary and save his life, but his leader Hans objected.Hans lost an arm in the fight against the Night King and returned empty-handed with no chance of receiving the reward, so he firmly opposed retreat.In order to force Lao Feng to submit, he even forced him with a gun.
Fatty accidentally discovered a windy cave, and after investigating with Wuxie, they confirmed that there was a secret exit, which was suspected to be the entrance to the Night King's palace.Seeing that the Denasi were exhausted, the three decided to climb the cliff alone.The Denaxi people realized they had been abandoned and fired in anger. Thanks to Zhang Haixing's skill, the three of them successfully evaded and continued climbing.After going through hardships, they finally arrived at the giant door they had seen in Yunding Heavenly Palace, and tried to open it with the Heavenly Staff but failed.
The fat man suggested using explosives. Fortunately, he had borrowed one from the Denasi before, which came in handy at this time.After the explosion, a large amount of turbid mud poured out from behind the door, and the three people were knocked to the ground.When the mud subsided, Wuxie lifted up the fat man whose face was covered with mud, thankful that it had not been corroded.
Although the palace door was broken, it was extremely quiet inside. Wu Xie wondered why the Night King didn't respond at all, and why such a loud noise did not disturb him at all.
