Chapter 72 Extraordinary Power
“What’s the reason?” Wu Qiong asked calmly.
"Forehead……"
Qi Sui was speechless for a moment.
He can't say that he has a profession [bounty hunter], so he must be very sensitive to smells!
"The energy fluctuations on the right side are greater. This instrument can't be wrong!" Wu Qiong spoke decisively and with extreme confidence.
"I know that the energy on the right side is greater, but there may be a danger of being unable to resist it. Although the energy on the left side is small, there should be good gains." Qi Sui said.
We are teammates, and he doesn't want to watch everyone in danger.
"Haha, I finally understand. What you mean is that you are afraid of death, right?"
Wang Hongling, who had always been unhappy, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and sneered: "In that battle with the Demon Spider, you were clever and got a lot of loot, and you just want to give up? Everyone is still poor!"
"Brother Wang, there is no need for you to speak so aggressively. If you want magic spider materials, I can give you some."
Qi Sui's tone was calm, and he would not arouse anger just because of a few words from the other party: "And I didn't say I wouldn't do it. I just think that the left channel is not only safer, but also more profitable."
"Who cares so much about your little information? Why are you talking to seniors?"
Being educated by a high school student, Wang Hongling lost face.
He shook off Zhang Lingxin's support and walked towards the right hole first: "I listened to the captain. The captain said the right side is better, so I will go to the right side. It is a B-level secret realm. If you are afraid of death, don't follow me."
Seeing this, Wu Qiong couldn't say anything else.
Her original intention was that since she had a dispute with Qi Sui, for the sake of the team, it would not be a bad idea to go to the left first and then turn back and go to the right.
Who knew that Wang Hongling would have such a sharp conflict with Qi Sui.
"That Qisui, why don't we go to the right first and wait..." Wu Qiong said in a negotiating tone.
"Sister Wu, don't be embarrassed, I can go to the left alone."
Qi Sui directly interrupted the woman's conversation. He raised the miniature watch on his wrist and said, "Anyway, we can use this to send a message. We can also gather at the entrance of the cave."
He did not emphasize the possible danger on the right.
After all, there is no point in speaking in vain if your words are not believed.
"Hey, Wu Qiong, are you still going? I heard the movement of mysterious creatures in front of me." Wang Hongling stood deep in the passage on the right and turned around to urge.
What he fears most now is that everyone will follow Qi Sui's advice and choose to go left. Then he will really be riding a tiger and be in disgrace.
"Okay, Qisui, please pay attention to your safety and contact us through the communicator if you encounter danger. We will go there to support you as soon as possible!"
Wu Qiong made a decision.
She and Wang Hongling have been friends for several years, and their status in their hearts is more important than Qi Sui's.
Most importantly, she wanted to believe what the detector was saying.
Seeing Wu Qiong walking to the right, the others quickly followed without hesitation.
Only the last Gu Xiyue was left.
"Wu Qiong, let me go with Qi Sui. He is my junior brother. I can't let him be in danger alone."
Wu Qiong was slightly startled, then nodded: "That's fine, you are in the same sect, so you can have someone to take care of you if you encounter danger."
Qi Sui looked at the girl's beautiful side face and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time that Gu Xiyue called him "junior brother".
Although he doesn't care if anyone is traveling with him, he doesn't have such low emotional intelligence that he refuses others' kindness.
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."
Qi Sui smiled slightly and walked towards the left passage with Gu Xiyue.
"Tch, for someone who is so self-righteous and doesn't obey the captain's command, no matter how talented he is, he won't live long. It's not a big deal if he dies. Don't act like a pest and bring trouble to everyone."
Wang Hongling crossed his arms and said with unabashed ridicule and sarcasm in his tone: "And that Gu Xiyue, I thought she was from a good background and should have some vision. I also thought about trying to date her, but I didn't expect that she is also a fool." "We are from the same sect, so we shouldn't have gone over there to shoot field artillery together, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that boy named Qi is very strong, but I don't know if that woman Gu Xiyue can withstand his torture..."
"That's enough, stop talking!"
Wu Qiong's face turned cold, and his words contained a warning: "It's okay to talk about Qi Sui behind his back. If those words just now reach Gu Xiyue's ears, your future will be ruined!"
Don't look at Gu Xiyue who doesn't have any airs on weekdays, but if she really wants to anger her and use her connections with the Gu family, she will be expelled from the university.
Wang Hongling knew that he had lost his composure, so he immediately closed his mouth, smiled sullenly, and looked gloomy. He did not dare to provoke Gu Xiyue, but he already had a grudge against Qi Sui.
"Okay, let's move forward. Just pretend we didn't hear what we just said. Once word gets out, everyone will look bad."
Wu Qiong helped Wang Hongling give instructions to everyone, and then led the team to advance deeper into the cave.
The others had different expressions. They had a pretty good impression of Qi Sui, but they didn't quite understand why Wang Hongling was so resentful.
It can only be said that people who are small-minded, jealous, and too self-righteous will probably suffer big losses sooner or later.
…
Ta, ta, ta!
The sound of footsteps was particularly clear in the silent and dark cave.
Without the guidance of Wu Qiong's energy dashboard, Qi Sui turned on the [Smell Tracking] skill and quickly traveled through the maze-like complex cave, moving in the direction pointed by the faint fragrance.
On the way, Gu Xiyue followed closely with her arms folded, never raising any questions about Qi Sui's choice of path.
Looking at the tall and straight back of the young man, a thoughtful luster appeared in her pale pink eyes.
As Qi Sui expected, there were not many secret realm creatures in this passage.
Occasionally, spiders and insect-like creatures would pop up, and they would be quickly dealt with by the two of them working together.
After advancing for about 1km, the fragrant fragrance in the nasal cavity suddenly became rich.
"just in front!"
Qi Sui's eyes fell on the end of the passage, where a huge cave space appeared, and the fragrance seemed to be wafting from inside.
To be cautious, Qi Sui picked up a stone, flicked it in with his fingers, and waited for a few seconds. Seeing that there was still no movement, he took Gu Xiyue into the cave.
"here it is……"
Gu Xiyue slowly lowered her hands holding her chest, a look of shock appeared on her pretty face.
This is a large cave measuring several hundred square meters.
In the soil below the cave, various precious ores are piled up into hills. In addition, there are also various strange plant life shining with black light.
The most eye-catching thing is that in the center of the cave, a snow-white lotus that is incompatible with the environment grows abruptly among a large number of black-light plants. It is like stars holding the moon, and it also seems to be interpreting the untainted mud.
Gu Xiyue's eyes turned to the young man.
Now it is no longer a question of safety, but a question of how to bring these huge quantities of materials back.
However, Qi Sui's attention always fell on the white lotus.
A [Detection] skill was thrown up.
"Lingyi White Lotus: The holy white lotus that grows in the filthy and dark place contains a trace of extraordinary power."
