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 is a bounty hunter by profession, so he is very sensitive to smells!
"The energy fluctuations on the right are greater. This instrument cannot be wrong!" Wu Qiong spoke decisively and with extreme confidence.

"I know the energy on the right is greater, but there may be danger that I cannot resist. Although the energy on the left is small, I should be able to gain a good harvest." Qi Sui said.

They are all teammates, and he doesn't want to watch everyone fall into danger.

"Haha, I finally understand. What you mean is that you are afraid of death, right?"

Wang Hongling, who had been very unhappy, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and sneered, "In the battle with the Demon Spider, you used your cleverness to grab a lot of spoils, and now you want to quit? We are all still poor!"

"Brother Wang, there's no need to be so aggressive. If you want the magic spider materials, I can give you some."

Qi Sui spoke calmly, not getting angry because of a few words from the other party: "And I never said I wouldn't do it, I just think the left channel is not only safer, but also more profitable."

"Who the hell cares about your little material? How do you talk to your senior?"

Wang Hongling felt a little embarrassed to be taught a lesson by a high school student.

He shook off Zhang Lingxin's support and walked towards the right cave entrance first: "I'll listen to the captain. The captain said the right side is better, so I'll go to the right side. It's just a B-level secret realm. If you're afraid of death, don't follow me."

Seeing this, Wu Qiong didn't know what to say.

Her original intention was that since there was a dispute with Qi Sui, then 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 would have thought that Wang Hongling would have such a sharp conflict with Qi Sui.

"Qi Sui, why don't we go to the right first and wait..." Wu Qiong said in a negotiating tone.

"Sister Wu, don't worry, I can go to the left side by myself."

Qi Sui interrupted the woman, raised the miniature watch on his wrist, and said, "We can use this to send messages, and we can gather at the cave entrance."

He did not emphasize the possible danger on the right.

After all, empty words are meaningless if what you say is not believed.

"Hey, Wu Qiong, are you guys going to leave or not? I can hear the movement of mysterious creatures ahead." Wang Hongling stood deep in the right passage and turned back to urge.

What he fears most now is that everyone will follow Qi Sui's advice and choose to go left. Then he would be in a difficult situation and would lose face.

"Well, Qi Sui, please be careful. If you encounter any danger, use the communicator to contact us. We will come to support you as soon as possible!"

Wu Qiong made the decision.

She and Wang Hongling have been friends for several years, and Wang Hongling holds a more important position in her heart than Qi Sui.

Most importantly, she was willing to trust what the detector showed.

Seeing Wu Qiong walking to the right, the others followed without hesitation.

Only Gu Xiyue was left.

"Wu Qiong, I will go with Qi Sui. He is my junior fellow apprentice, and I cannot let him take risks alone."

Wu Qiong was slightly startled, then nodded: "That's fine, you two are with each other, so if you run into danger, you'll have someone to take care of you."

Qi Sui looked at the girl's pretty profile and couldn't help feeling a little moved. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time that Gu Xiyue called him "Junior Brother".

Although he doesn't care whether anyone walks with him or not, his emotional intelligence is not so low as to reject other people's kindness.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."

Qi Sui smiled slightly, and walked towards the left passage with Gu Xiyue.

"Tsk, this self-righteous thing that doesn't obey the captain's orders won't live long no matter how talented it is. It's no big deal if it dies by itself, don't be such a troublemaker and drag everyone down with it."

Wang Hongling crossed his arms, his tone full of undisguised mockery and sarcasm: "And that Gu Xiyue, I thought she had a good family background and should have some vision, so I wanted to try to get along with her, but I didn't expect she was also a fool." "Fellow disciples, fellow disciples, could they have gone over there to have sex together?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, that kid named Qi is quite strong, but I wonder if that woman Gu Xiyue can withstand his torture..."

"That's enough, stop talking!"

Wu Qiong's face turned cold, and his words were full of warning: "It's fine if you talk about Qi Sui behind his back, but if those words just now get to Gu Xiyue's ears, your future will be ruined!"

Even though Gu Xiyue doesn't seem to be arrogant on weekdays, if she really makes someone angry and uses the Gu family's connections, being expelled from the university would be the lightest punishment.

Wang Hongling knew that he had lost his composure, so he immediately shut his mouth, smiled bitterly, and looked gloomy. He did not dare to provoke Gu Xiyue, but he had already started to bear a grudge against Qi Sui.

"Okay, let's move on. Just pretend you didn't hear what was said just now. If it gets out, everyone will be unhappy."

Wu Qiong helped Wang Hongling give instructions to everyone, and then led the team to continue advancing deeper into the cave.

The expressions of the others were different. They had a pretty good impression of Qi Sui and didn't quite understand why Wang Hongling was so resentful.

All I can say is that people who are narrow-minded, jealous, and overly self-righteous will probably suffer a great loss sooner or later.

……

Ta, ta, ta!

The footsteps were particularly clear in the silent and dark cave.

Without Wu Qiong's energy instrument to guide him, Qi Sui activated the [Scent Tracking] skill and quickly traveled through the complex maze-like cave, moving in the direction guided by the faint fragrance.

On the way, Gu Xiyue followed closely with her arms folded, never questioning Qi Sui's choice of path.

Looking at the tall and straight back of the boy, a thoughtful gleam appeared in her light pink eyes.

Just as Qi Sui expected, there were not many mysterious creatures in this passage.

Occasionally, spiders and insect-like creatures would appear, but they would be quickly dealt with by the two of them working together.

After advancing about 1 km, the fragrance in the nose suddenly became stronger.

"just in front!"

Qi Sui's gaze fell on the end of the passage, where a huge cave space appeared, and the fragrance seemed to be wafting out from it.

To be on the safe side, Qi Sui picked up a stone, flicked it in with his finger, and waited there for a few seconds. Seeing that there was no movement, he took Gu Xiyue into the cave.

"here it is……"

Gu Xiyue slowly lowered her hands that were hugging her chest, and a look of shock appeared on her pretty face.

This is a large cave of about several hundred square meters.

In the soil below the cave, various precious minerals are piled up into small hills. In addition, there are various strange plant lives that flash black light.

The most eye-catching thing is a snow-white lotus in the center of the cave, which is out of tune with the environment. It grows abruptly among a large number of black light plants, like stars surrounding the moon, and seems to be interpreting the idea of ​​being untainted by the mud.

Gu Xiyue's gaze turned to the young man.

Now it is no longer a question of safety or not, but how to bring back these huge quantities of materials.

However, Qi Sui's attention was always on the white lotus.

A [Detection] skill is thrown up.

"Spiritual Rippling White Lotus: A holy white lotus that grows in a filthy and dark place, containing a trace of extraordinary power."
