“What are you doing?”
Suddenly, Xu Junrou’s voice sounded. Wang Xiao suddenly came back to his senses and realized that she was staring at his hand in his pocket.
“Nothing much. I’m just thinking about something.”
Wang Xiao casually replied. At the same time, his finger had already grabbed the secret realm key. As long as he used a little strength, he could directly crusn lt.
Xu Junrou did not see Wang Xiao’s small actions. She heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, “You scared me to death. I thought you were preparing to secretly withdraw!”
“Hm?”
Wang Xiao frowned. “You don’t want me to withdraw?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but Commander Chen doesn’t want to.”
Xu Junrou nodded honestly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “He contacted me in the morning and said that he was coming to Yuheng
Academy today. He asked me to delay you no matter what and not let you see him.”
Faced with Xu Junrou’s sudden honesty, Wang Xiao suddenly could not react. He was stunned for a moment before asking, “Why doesn’t he dare to see me?”
“Then I don’t know.”
Xu Junrou shrugged helplessly. “I was originally thinking of how to stall you. Coincidentally, I bumped into Zhou Xiruo who said that you were going to explore this secret realm, so I took advantage of the situation.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Junrou suddenly thought of something and added, “By the way, Commander Chen also asked me to keep it a secret, but I felt that I couldn’t lie to you, so I told you directly. Can you promise me to keep it a secret?”
“I can, but…
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly. Then, he frowned and asked in confusion, “You clearly know that you can’t deceive me. Why didn’t you say so from the beginning? Moreover, it’s not the first time you’ve failed the mission. Why are you so nervous this time?”
Xu Junrou sighed softly. “It’s all because of Yi Han. Commander Chen said that as long as he completes this mission well, he will give him a very good reward. Although we don’t know what it is yet, it sounds pretty good.”
…Why does this sound so familiar?”
Wang Xiao muttered with a strange expression. Then, he gave Xu Junrou a blessing smile. “Then I’ll cooperate with you a little. As for the reward… I wish you good luck!”
Xu Junrou was confused and did not understand what that meant. However, she did not care too much. It was fine as long as Wang Xiao cooperated with them and pretended not to know so that they could successfully obtain the “reward.”
The misunderstanding was inexplicably resolved. Wang Xiao also took his hand out of his pocket. He could feel Xu Junrou’s sincerity and helplessness, so he was not worried that she would lie.
At the same time, the others were also prepared. Then, under Zhao Yunyan’s lead, they walked towards the copper mine he had discovered.
Although Zhao Yunyan kept saying that it was not far, everyone realized that it was not the case after setting off.
Strictly speaking, the distance between the two places was indeed not far. At most, it was about two kilometers.
However, the sand in this white desert was abnormally loose. It was difficult to borrow strength even on flat ground. If he encountered a higher sand dune, the feeling of taking three steps and sliding two steps was simply a nightmare!
Finally, just as Wang Xiao was about to give up for the sixth time, Zhao Yunyan finally stopped in front of a sand dune. “We’ll arrive after crossing this sand dune!”
Looking at the ten-meter-tall sand dune in front of them, everyone revealed despair.
Zhou Xiruo and Xu Junrou supported each other. Yi Han lay on the hot sand and began to rot. Even Wang Xiao had the urge to beat Zhao Yunyan to death.
Gritting his teeth and resisting the urge to attack, Wang Xiao looked at Zhao
Yunyan and asked in confusion, “It wasn’t easy on the way here. Why do I feel
that your speed just now was very fast?”
“Everyone has their strengths and shortcomings!”
Zhao Yunyan chuckled and summoned a red [Lava Slime].
Then, Zhao Yunyan flipped over and jumped onto the [Lava Slime]. With the stickiness and elasticity of the slime, he easily climbed to the top of the sand dune.
“I accidentally discovered that the speed of the slime here is especially fast!
Isn’t it very powerful?!”
Zhao Yunyan shouted from the top of the sand dune, his tone clearly filled with excitement. After all, he did not have many chances to show off in front of a group of geniuses.
However, no one spoke at the bottom of the sand dune. Wang Xiao and Yi Han looked at each other. Yi Han said bitterly, “Idol, can we beat him to death?”
“I had the same thought.”
Wang Xiao nodded, his tone similarly bitter. Zhao Yunyan clearly had a simpler way to travel, but he had only said it now!
At this moment, Zhao Yunyan jumped down from the [Lava Ripper] again. The sand dune that was more than ten meters tall was like flat ground in front of him. It could not help but make everyone want to kill him even more.
Zhao Yunyan did not know what everyone was thinking. After landing, he urged, “The sand I dug just now has collapsed again. We have to go up quickly. Oh right! Be careful when you come up. The sand here is very… Aiyo!”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yunyan was pushed to the ground by Wang Xiao and Yi Han…
A few minutes later, the few of them rode the [Lava Slime] to the top of the sand dune.
The bruised and swollen Zhao Yunyan pointed at a small sand pit not far away. “Dig down from there and you’ll see copper ores about five to six meters away.”
“That deep?”
Xu Junrou raised her eyebrows. “Then how did you discover it before?”
“When I first came over, a portion of that copper mine was exposed, but later on, I mined that portion.”
Zhao Yunyan replied honestly. As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly looked at Wang Xiao and Yi Han. “Don’t count on me this time! I don’t have any soldiers who are good at digging!”
Wang Xiao glanced at Zhao Yunyan and did not say anything. Then, he looked at Yi Han beside him. “Do you have any good ideas?”
Yi Han thought for a moment and nodded. “I can use [Elemental Overlord] to solidify the nearby sand into soil, but we still need to continue digging after that.’
“Sure, leave the excavation to me.”
Wang Xiao accepted the excavation mission and paused for a moment before saying, “By the way, please freeze this area again to lower the temperature. Otherwise, the temperature here will be too high and affect my soldiers greatly.”
“Understood!”
Yi Han agreed. Brown and white light flashed in his eyes one after another.
[Elemental Overlord]! Activate!
An energy ring spread out from under Yi Han’s feet. Wherever it went, the loose sand instantly solidified into soil, followed by a layer of ice!
In just a few seconds, the top of the scorching sand dune turned into a frozen earth environment, and the temperature also decreased greatly.
Wang Xiao then summoned the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] and first activated the [Endless Swamp] to turn the frozen soil into a rotten quagmire. However, just as he was about to activate the [Berserk Impact] to send the mud flying, he discovered that the rotten quagmire suddenly boiled!
Everyone was stunned when they saw this. Although the temperature here was not low, it was not to the extent of making the mud boil, right?
Just as everyone was puzzled, a series of muffled sounds surged up from the depths of the ground, and the sand dune under their feet instantly exploded!
