Ling'er found the place where the dragon ball was hidden

With her wisdom and disguise, Meizi successfully infiltrated Nie Bo's team. This was undoubtedly a very thrilling and critical beginning. In order to successfully obtain intelligence in this dangerous place, she and Ling'er agreed on a unique code in advance. In front of everyone, the two of them pretended not to know each other, and every move was alienated and unfamiliar. However, whenever there was no one around, the obscure code was like a secret thread, quietly conveying important information between them.

Meizi knew that time was running out. Although Nie Bo was seriously injured, it would be very difficult to find the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball once he recovered. So, she took advantage of a brief opportunity to be alone and conveyed her instructions to Ling'er in code: she must do everything she can to find out where he hid the Dragon Ball while Nie Bo was recovering.

Ling'er understood, her smart eyes rolled around, and she had an idea in an instant. She knew that Nie Bo was suspicious by nature, and if she asked him directly about the dragon ball, it would definitely arouse his vigilance, so she could only use clever hints.

Ling'er walked slowly to Nie Bo's side with light steps. A worried look was on her face. She said softly, "Godfather, you are a little tired? Don't fall asleep. Especially those valuable things, you have to put them away properly." When she mentioned "valuable things", she slightly emphasized her tone and glanced at the token on Nie Bo's waist seemingly unintentionally.

Nie Bo was upset by the pain at this time, but he still keenly caught Ling'er's gaze. He thought to himself, Ling'er is always smart, is she reminding him of something? He looked up at Ling'er and said slowly: "Ling'er, my godfather is not able to move, please help me take care of the token." In his view, this token is a symbol of his identity and power, which contains powerful magic and is naturally a very valuable thing. Ling'er might be referring to it.

Ling'er shook her head gently and said in a coquettish tone, "Forget it, ask the Death Team to keep watch. This token is of great importance. I can't afford it if anything happens to me." As she spoke, she secretly observed Nie Bo's expression, trying to find a clue from his subtle reaction.

Seeing Ling'er evading this, Nie Bo couldn't help but feel a little confused. He stared at Ling'er with a little more inquiry in his eyes: "You are my father's daughter, I definitely trust you. Who else can I give this token to except you?"

Ling'er was secretly delighted, she knew Nie Bo had taken the bait. She pretended to hesitate for a moment, then suddenly made up her mind and said, "Godfather, since you trust me so much, I will do my best. But, Godfather, do you have anything else that needs my attention? For example... that place?" Ling'er pointed to the Milky Cliff Cave in the distance as she spoke, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and suggestion.

Nie Bo looked in the direction of Ling'er's finger, and his expression changed slightly. He was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Ling'er, there is a hanging coffin in the Ruya Cave. You just need to keep an eye on it."

Ling'er was startled, but she quickly concealed her emotions. She pretended to be scared, her body trembling slightly: "Godfather, I'm so scared of that thing that holds the dead." Her voice trembled a little, as if she was really scared by the hanging coffin.

Seeing Ling'er so scared, Nie Bo couldn't help but laugh: "What are you afraid of? That's the corpse of your adoptive father." His voice echoed in the empty cave, sounding particularly eerie.

When Ling'er heard this, she was even more certain that the hanging coffin was definitely not an ordinary thing. She covered her eyes with both hands and trembled: "Don't say it, godfather, it's so scary."

Meizi heard the conversation between Ling'er and Nie Bo not far away, and she quickly analyzed the information in her mind. Judging from Nie Bo's reaction, the dragon ball is likely hidden in the coffin, but this is only speculation after all, without complete evidence.

After hearing the conversation between Ling'er and Nie Bo, Meizi frowned and fell into deep thought. She knew very well that this judgment was related to the direction of the entire exploration operation and could not afford to make mistakes.

First of all, Nie Bo's cautious expression when he mentioned the hanging coffin to Ling'er did not escape Meizi's keen eyes. The solemnity that flashed across his face was definitely not just because the so-called "corpse shell" was stored in the hanging coffin. In this demon world, Nie Bo has always been known for his ruthlessness, decisiveness, and deep thoughts. If it was just an ordinary place for corpses, he would never have such a reaction. Meizi speculated that the hanging coffin must be hiding a secret that Nie Bo cherished and was unknown to others. Among the treasures that they knew Nie Bo had, the dragon ball was undoubtedly the one that best met this characteristic.

Furthermore, considering the traditions and habits of the demon world, they often place the most important treasures in mysterious places related to life and death, in order to protect the treasures with the power of reincarnation or to deter evil. The hanging coffin, as a symbol and carrier of death, is a very deterrent and mysterious existence in the cultural context of the demon world. As an important figure in the demon world, it is very likely that Nie Bo followed this traditional custom to hide the dragon ball.

Also, when Ling'er hinted at where Nie Bo kept his valuables, Nie Bo pointed to the direction of the hanging coffin without hesitation. The connection was too close. Given Nie Bo's suspicious personality, if the dragon ball was not there, he would not easily let Ling'er direct his attention there. He probably thought that Ling'er, as someone he trusted, would not easily pry into the secrets even if she knew the special nature of the hanging coffin. Moreover, he thought he had enough ability to control the situation. Even if Ling'er noticed something, she would not be able to break through the many defenses he had set up.

Based on all the above signs, although Meizi was not 100% sure, she was 70% sure that the dragon ball was most likely hidden in the hanging coffin in Ruya Cave. So, she quietly began to plan how to avoid the eyes and ears of others, go deep into Ruya Cave, and uncover the truth hidden in the hanging coffin. A race against time and danger gradually took shape in her mind.

She secretly made up her mind to find a chance to investigate personally. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, she would not let go of this glimmer of hope of obtaining the Dragon Ball.

In the following days, Meizi carefully took care of Nie Bo's injuries while secretly paying attention to the surrounding movements, looking for the best time to go to Ruya Cave. Ling'er always remained vigilant, knowing that her every move was related to the success or failure of the entire plan. Therefore, she still pretended to be the timid and well-behaved daughter in front of Nie Bo, waiting for Meizi's next instructions. A thrilling exploration journey is about to begin, and the secret hidden in the hanging coffin is like a huge mystery, attracting everyone to continue exploring.
