One who was unaccountably solicitous was definitely up to no good.
Wang Xiao originally did not plan to stay long, but when he heard that the headquarters of the Lord’s Shop was looking for his help, he could not help but be interested.
“Tell me about it.”
Wang Xiao returned to the table, but he did not sit down again. It was obvious that he was prepared to leave at any time.
Seeing this, Lin Xiang did not dare to hide anything. He paused for a moment and said, “Brother Wang, do you still remember [Thorn Canyon]?”
Wang Xiao nodded. He had just gone to the [Thorn Canyon] a few days ago and even obtained a lot of [Breakthrough Stones] there. How could he forget?
Seeing Wang Xiao nod, Lin Xiang asked again, “When you entered [Thorn
Canyon], did you encounter any stronger mutated beasts?”
Wang Xiao recalled for a moment and shook his head. “No. The mutated beasts we encountered were all silver quality. The strongest was only at peak silver level three.”
“Are you sure?”
Lin Xiang asked with a serious expression and subconsciously leaned forward. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but are you really sure?”
“What’s there to be uncertain about?”
Wang Xiao revealed a strange expression. “I’m a beast tamer lord. Could it be possible for me to remember the level of the mutated beast wrongly? What happened?”
Lin Xiang sighed heavily and his expression became serious. “Last night, the headquarters sent an exploration team into [Thorn Canyon].”
“The leader of the team is a level five lord. There are also three level four lords accompanying him. However, after the two-hour time limit, none of them left the secret realm.”
Wang Xiao’s expression immediately became solemn.
Other than the artificial secret realms that were specially set, all the natural secret realms had a time limit for exploration. After the time was exhausted, the lords who entered would automatically withdraw. However, no one withdrew even though the time limit was up. The only possibility was that they had already been completely wiped out.
“Are you sure?”
Wang Xiao asked in disbelief, “A level five and three level four people were actually completely wiped out in the small secret realm? Could it be that you remembered the time wrongly?”
Lin Xiang shook his head with a complicated expression. “Before I contacted you, I confirmed with the headquarters that the exploration team still hasn’t appeared. It’s been more than ten hours since they entered the secret realm.”
Ten hours was almost the time limit for the exploration of the large secret realm. The exploration team was most likely doomed.
“But how is that possible?”
Wang Xiao frowned and said doubtfully, “Even if it’s a sneak attack, it’ll take at least a platinum-quality exotic beast to deal with such a team. If [Thorn Canyon] has such an exotic beast, it’s impossible for me not to notice it!”
Lin Xiang nodded and asked with a serious expression, “That’s why I want to confirm with you again. When you entered [Thorn Canyon], did you really not find any powerful mutated beasts?”
“Absolutely not!”
“Sigh.. ‘
Lin Xiang let out a long sigh and slumped onto the sofa. “In that case, I can only trouble you to make another trip.”
Wang Xiao was stunned. “You want me to go in? If a team of that strength is completely wiped out, what can I do even if I go in?”
“But you’re the only lord who has left Thorn Canyon safely so far.”
Lin Xiang said helplessly, “We can continue to send people in, but without knowing the situation, there’s a high chance that sending more people will increase unnecessary casualties.”
“Therefore, the headquarters wants you to lead an exploration team in. Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. We’ve already invited three level five lords. We just need someone who understands the situation to lead the way.”
Wang Xiao originally planned to refuse, but when he heard that there were three level five lords accompanying him, he began to hesitate again.
Wang Xiao had been to [Thorn Canyon] before and it was not as dangerous as Lin Xiang had said. Coupled with such powerful teammates, he basically did not have to worry about his safety.
“I’ll go.”
Wang Xiao only thought for three seconds before nodding in agreement. “But I’ll go alone this time and not bring my vassal lord.”
“Understood.”
Lin Xiang nodded and stood up impatiently. “Then let’s set off. If everything goes smoothly, we’ll be back in about two hours. I’ll ask the shop assistant to delay her.”
Wang Xiao nodded. Lin Xiang called the shop assistant over and instructed him. Then, the two of them went straight to the top floor.
After passing through the [Ancient Teleportation Gate], the two of them arrived at the Holy Capital tens of thousands of kilometers away. When they arrived at the basement where the teleportation gate was stored, there were already three people waiting there.
“Manager Lin! Long time no see!”
Seeing Lin Xiang, the three of them immediately greeted him with smiles.
After Lin Xiang greeted the three of them, he turned around and looked at
Wang Xiao. “Brother Wang, let me introduce—”
Lin Xiang first pointed at the youngest young man among the three. “This is Wu Yan, lord Wu. He’s a top student from Blue Planet University. His fire magic is quite powerful!”
Wang Xiao nodded as a form of greeting. Lin Xiang pointed at a burly man. “This is Li Tongfu, lord Shen. Although his talent is not as powerful as [Life
Recovery], his healing ability is still very powerful!”
“Hello, lord Shen!”
Wang Xiao greeted him again and then looked at the last middle-aged man, who he had yet to greet.
Coincidentally, the middle-aged man was also sizing up Wang Xiao. As soon as their gazes met, the middle-aged man suddenly frowned. “Is your name Wang Xiao?”
Wang Xiao, who was recognized, was first stunned. Then, he thought of something and smiled bitterly. “I’m Wang Xiao. You should have seen the live broadcast of the lord competition, right?”
“Yes, but not because of that!”
The middle-aged man laughed and took the initiative to extend his right hand to Wang Xiao. “My name is Tang Longji. Tang Hengshan is my nephew!”
“Tang Hengshan?”
Wang Xiao revealed a surprised expression and was stunned for a moment before hurriedly bowing. “Hello, Uncle Tang!”
“Good! Good!”
Tang Longji smiled heartily and hugged Wang Xiao’s shoulder. “Since everyone is here, let’s set off!”
Lin Xiang nodded. Just as he was about to instruct the cloaked man to open the teleportation door, a voice suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
The few of them looked in the direction of the voice and realized that it was the burlv man. Wang Xiao remembered that his name was Li Toncfu.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Tongfu pointed at Wang Xiao with his chin and looked at Lin Xiang with a frown. “Is he the guide you mentioned?”
Lin Xiang did not know what Li Tongfu wanted to say, but he still nodded. “Yes, lord Wang went to the [Thorn Canyon] a few days ago and is more familiar with the situation inside.” “Get another guide.” Lin Xiang was stunned. ‘What?”
“I said get another one.”
Li Tongfu pursed his lips, clearly impatient.
Lin Xiang revealed a puzzled expression. “Lord Shen, that’s fine, but can you tell me the reason? I…
“If you don’t want to get another guide, find someone else!”
Li Tongfu snorted and was about to leave when a figure suddenly blocked in front of him.
Wang Xiao looked at Li Tongfu, who was half a head shorter than him.. He frowned and asked coldly, “Lord Shen, did I offend you in any way?
