Chapter 128 The Stalking Rat
The sky was getting dark.
While exploring the surrounding terrain, Xiao Weiqing hunted monsters, and when he encountered high-level monsters, he would temporarily detour.
When they returned to the base, it was completely dark. The electronic sign at the base entrance showed 10/31, and three more people had entered the base.
Arrived at the cafeteria.
Seeing Ding Yong chatting happily with a young man, it was clear that they knew each other.
"Brother Qing."
"Sit here."
Ding Yong saw Xiao Weiqing and quickly greeted him.
"Brother Qing, let me introduce you to Ye Lei, a level 5 extraordinary talent."
"No, in front of Brother Qing, a level 5 extraordinary talent is nothing," Ye Lei said with a smile, adopting a very humble attitude. He had long admired Xiao Weiqing.
"Hello there."
Xiao Weiqing nodded in response.
"Brother Qing, how's it going? Any gains?"
"Ding Yong!"
Ye Lei shouted, feeling that Ding Yong shouldn't have asked.
Ding Yong shrank back, clearly terrified of Ye Lei.
Xiao Weiqing laughed and said, "It's alright. Thanks to Ding Yong's information, we've gained something. There are quite a few fire elemental stones at the center of that volcano, and..."
Ye Lei and Ding Yong listened attentively.
"There is a strange flame inside."
"A strange fire?"
The two were greatly surprised.
"Yes, but there's a fourth-tier Flame Viper guarding it."
"Those siblings tried to compete for it, but they were no match for the Flame Serpent Viper and failed." Xiao Weiqing gestured to the Ruan siblings on his right.
Ye Lei nodded, but he didn't have any particular thoughts. Neither he nor Ding Yong possessed fire-type extraordinary talents, so going there would be suicide.
"Who are those two people?"
Xiao Weiqing glanced at the two people not far away and asked.
His combat uniform was different from theirs; he was not tall, and his eyes had a slightly cunning look, occasionally glancing at Xiao Weiqing.
Ding Yong said, "The people of Xuanwu Kingdom and Sakura Prefecture were once a small country a hundred years ago. They were destroyed due to the invasion of demonic beasts, and the survivors later joined Xuanwu Kingdom."
"However, I've heard that they've been stirring up independence again in recent years. Brother Qing, be careful when you encounter these people. They're bullies who prey on the weak and are very treacherous."
Xiao Weiqing nodded.
late at night.
Xiao Weiqing continued to cultivate spiritual energy and attempted to fuse with Samadhi True Fire.
Half an hour later.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Weiqing found the elemental stone in his hand unchanged and was slightly disappointed. As expected, the elemental stone could not help him fuse with the Samadhi True Fire.
"It seems the energy level within this elemental stone is too low; the Samadhi True Fire wouldn't be interested."
Silent all night.
......
Early the next morning.
After having breakfast, Xiao Weiqing left the base.
Yesterday, after talking with Ye Lei, I learned that this place is actually very far from the heritage center and is quite remote.
He needs to figure out the situation here as soon as possible and then go to the heritage center.
In the bushes.
A blazing blade flashed through the air.
"Infinite Slash!"
Xiao Weiqing killed the armored boar, which was at the early stage of the third tier, with a single strike.
"This skin is really tough."
However, this was a good opportunity for him to practice his sword skills. He used the Inexhaustible Slash to strike the neck twice in succession, killing him.
Extract the demon core from the Ironclad Boar.
"Not bad, another few hundred points."
Compared to those ferocious carnivorous monsters, omnivorous and herbivorous monsters have much less demonic energy in their cores. Even a third-tier monster is not worth many points.
Sudden.
Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly; someone was spying on him, and there was more than one.
Putting away the demon core, Xiao Weiqing remained silent and walked towards the volcano.
During the walk.
He would occasionally look down at the bracelet.
Three hundred meters behind Xiao Weiqing, two people were acting suspiciously.
"Hayato, when do we make our move?"
"Gu Er, don't worry. This Xia man keeps looking at his bracelet, which means he's obviously looking for a way. Maybe he has some unknown information, or even an opportunity."
"Let's follow them."
"Hayato, what if we get too close and get spotted?"
Hayato said confidently, "Don't worry, my mental strength has already broken through level 20, he can't possibly detect it."
The two quickly caught up with Xiao Weiqing, wanting to know his final destination.
Xiao Weiqing noticed the two people behind him, who were still oblivious to their impending doom and getting closer and closer. He sneered and continued searching for a way out.
Less than half an hour.
Xiao Weiqing arrived at the volcanic cave entrance and showed a "surprised" expression.
He then plunged into the hole.
Behind.
Two short figures arrived at the cave entrance.
"Hayato, this is a volcano, the air is scorching hot, should we give chase?"
"Chase after him! That kid couldn't have come here for no reason. There must be treasure here."
"Besides, there are two of us."
"You are a magic practitioner, I am a spiritual practitioner. I am confident that I can easily subdue him within a hundred meters."
Gu Er nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Gu Er waved his hand.
Two transparent water shields enveloped the two of them, clearly indicating that Gu Er's extraordinary talent was water-based.
After entering the cave.
The deeper we went, the more we went.
Hayato, however, discovered that Xiao Weiqing was getting further and further away from him, and was about to become undetectable.
The two had to speed up, and Gu Er's spiritual energy consumption increased dramatically.
"Where did it go?"
Hayabusa was completely unaware of Xiao Weiqing's presence.
At this moment, the two were in the cave that Xiao Weiqing had visited yesterday, where lava was still flowing in the corner.
"Hayato, I've used up a lot of my spiritual energy and can't go any further. I don't know why, but ever since I entered the cave, I've had this feeling of unease."
Hayato frowned. "If we don't find anything after walking another 300 meters, we'll go back."
"it is good."
After the two walked twenty meters.
"Falcon...Shunta."
"What's wrong?"
"Look!"
Gu Er stretched out his arm and showed the white card to Shunta.
Hayato's eyes widened immediately. "What?"
The two exchanged a glance and both sensed the greed in each other's eyes.
"These are fire elemental stones. There must be at least several hundred of them in such a large area."
"Walk."
Hayato exclaimed excitedly, "That kid must have discovered that place; he might be there right now."
Gu Erdao said, "Let's go kill him, and all the elemental stones will be ours."
"Haha... This is our opportunity. In fact, we should thank that kid from Great Xia."
"Is that so?"
"How are you going to thank me?"
A cold voice sounded behind the two of them.
"Clang!~"
As the Crimson Dragon was unsheathed, golden flames covered the blade, raising the temperature of the entire passage to another level.
puff!
Just one cut.
The two heads of the valley separated.
"Thump~ thump~~"
The sound of the head rolling off sent a jolt through Hayato's soul.
"How is that possible?"
Hayabusa reacted quickly and created distance.
He hissed, "A mirage!"
In Xiao Weiqing's vision, Hayabusa's figure seemed somewhat distorted, as if he was about to disappear, replaced by the rock wall, and even his aura seemed to have been concealed.
However, Xiao Weiqing's mental strength was so great that he could still see the outline of a person.
"cut!"
Xiao Weiqing had no habit of underestimating people. He quickly swung his sword, the blade wreathed in divine fire, and slashed at the silhouette.
"Pfft~"
This is the feeling of a physical object being slashed by a sword.
"impossible!"
Hayato clutched his bleeding arm; if he hadn't dodged quickly, his arm would have been severed.
"Damn it, how could he possibly see me?"
