Chapter 72 Extraordinary Power

"Why?" Wu Qiong asked calmly.

"Uh..."

Qi Sui was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't say that he was very sensitive to smell because he had a profession [Bounty Hunter]!

"The energy fluctuation on the right is greater, and this instrument can't be wrong!" Wu Qiong spoke decisively and extremely confidently.

"I know the energy on the right is greater, but there may be dangers that cannot be resisted. Although the energy on the left is small, there should be good gains." Qi Sui said.

Everyone is a teammate, 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 always been 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 you want to quit? We are all still poor!"

"Brother Wang, you don't have to be so aggressive. If you want the Demon Spider materials, I can give you some."

Qi Sui's tone was calm, and he would not get angry 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 the hell cares about your materials? How can you talk to your seniors?"

Being taught a lesson by a high school student, Wang Hongling was a little embarrassed.

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

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

Her original intention was that since she had a dispute with Qi Sui, it would be okay to go to the left first and then turn back to the right for the sake of the team.

Who knew 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 be embarrassed, I can go to the left alone."

Qi Sui interrupted the woman directly, raised the micro watch on his wrist, and said: "Anyway, we can use this to send a message, and we can gather at the entrance of the cave at that time."

He did not emphasize the possible danger on the right.

After all, empty words are meaningless if they are not believed.

"Hey, Wu Qiong, are you still going? I can hear the movement of the secret creatures ahead." Wang Hongling stood deep in the right passage and turned back to urge.

What he feared most now was that everyone followed Qi Sui's opinion and chose to go left, then he would be in a dilemma and lose face.

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

Wu Qiong made a decision.

She and Wang Hongling have known each other for several years, and Wang Hongling has a higher status in her heart than Qi Sui.

The most important thing is that she is willing to believe the display results of the detector.

Seeing Wu Qiong walk to the right, the others did not hesitate and quickly followed.

Only Gu Xiyue was left.

"Wu Qiong, I will go with Qi Sui. He is my junior brother, and I can't let him take risks alone."

Wu Qiong was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Okay, you are in the same sect, so you can take care of each other in case of danger."

Qi Sui looked at the girl's beautiful profile, and his heart was moved. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time that Gu Xiyue called him "junior brother".

Although he didn't care whether there was anyone walking with him, he would not be so EQ-low as to reject others' kindness.

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

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

"Tsk, this kind of self-righteous thing that doesn't obey the captain's command won't live long no matter how talented it is. It's a small matter if it dies, don't be a troublemaker and implicate everyone."

Wang Hongling crossed his arms, with undisguised mockery and sarcasm in his tone: "And that Gu Xiyue, I thought she had a good background and should have some vision, and I wanted to try to get along with her, but I didn't expect her to be a fool."

"Fellow students, they didn't run over there to have sex together, did they?"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the kid surnamed Qi is quite strong, but I don't know if the woman Gu Xiyue can withstand his torture..."

"Enough, stop talking!"

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

Don't think that Gu Xiyue doesn't have any airs on weekdays, but if you really make her angry and use the Gu family's relationship, being expelled from the university is the least of your punishment.

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

"Okay, let's move forward too. Just pretend that we didn't hear what was said just now. Once it gets out, everyone will be unhappy."

Wu Qiong helped Wang Hongling give everyone a word of instruction, and then led the team to continue to advance deeper into the cave.

The expressions of the others were different. They had a good impression of Qi Sui, and they didn't quite understand why Wang Hongling had such a big grudge.

It can only be said that people who are narrow-minded, jealous, and too self-righteous will probably suffer a great loss sooner or later.

…

Tap, tap, tap!

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

Without the guidance of Wu Qiong's energy instrument, Qi Sui activated the [Smell 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 across her chest, and never questioned Qi Sui's choice of path.

Looking at the tall and straight back of the young man, her light pink eyes showed a thoughtful luster.

As Qi Sui expected, there were not many secret creatures in this passage.

Occasionally, spiders and insects appeared, and they would be quickly solved by the two of them.

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

"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 float out from inside.

For the sake of caution, Qi Sui picked up a stone, flicked his finger into it, and waited for a few seconds. Seeing that there was no movement, he took Gu Xiyue into the cave.

"This is..."

Gu Xiyue slowly put down her hands that were hugging her chest, and a look of shock appeared on her beautiful face.

This is a large cave of about hundreds of square meters.

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

The most eye-catching thing is that in the center of the cave, a snow-white lotus that is out of tune with the environment grows abruptly among a large number of black light plants, like a moon surrounded by stars, and it seems to interpret the mud without stain.

Gu Xiyue's eyes turned to the boy.

Now it is not a question of safety, but how to bring back these huge amounts of materials.

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

A [Detection] skill is thrown at it.

"Spiritual White Lotus: The holy white lotus that grows in the filthy and dark land contains a trace of extraordinary power."
