“Let’s hurry, someone has already gone in. If they get the Crimson Crystal, then all our efforts will have been in vain.”
“What are you afraid of?” “They’re just an ordinary class team. It’s actually better for them to get it. It saves us trouble. We can just snatch the Crimson Crystal from them later, right?” Hu Yiming said dismissively.
In his view, those few people were lucky to get the information about the Crimson Crystal, but when they encountered them, their luck had run out.
Hu Yiming was clearly not the only one with this idea. The others also didn’t take Luo Lingxing and the others seriously at all.
“Hurry up and pick the Ice Grass. I’m practically becoming roasted meat!” Hu Yiming yelled impatiently at a boy again.
The boy seemed very afraid of Hu Yiming and said weakly, “There are no more Ice Grasses around here.”
“If you can’t find it, why don’t you look somewhere else? Are you trying to kill us with heat?” Hu Yiming said fiercely. However, the boy searched the entire vicinity but couldn’t find a single Ice Grass.
“It looks like the Ice Grass has been picked clean by the previous people,” Jiang Linyu said, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
“Damn it!” Hu Yiming was furious and kicked a rock hard, but was burned by the scalding hot rock and screamed.
“Calm down, maybe this is better for us. If there really is a Crimson Crystal ahead, it will definitely be dangerous. If we follow, we might get caught up in their mess. Why don’t we retreat to the exit and wait for them? If they get the Crimson Crystal, we can wait for them at the entrance. If they unfortunately don’t come out, we can take this message back and come back to find the Crimson Crystal later.” Liu Jingce suggested, and most people agreed.
“What if there’s another exit inside, and they get out through another exit?” one of the team members asked.
Jiang Linyu sneered, “If they are lucky enough to find another exit, then let them spit out all these Crimson Crystal after the trial. There are few people who dare not give face to the Jiang family.”
Hearing this, everyone was finally relieved and said, “That’s true. Let’s go out now. It’s too hot here.”
Afterwards, Hu Yiming and the others withdrew from the cave. Gao Zhiquan and the others, who had eaten the Ice Grass, were unaware of this incident. They were focused on finding the Crimson Crystal and carefully observed their surroundings as they walked through the cave, afraid of missing it.
When they first entered, the cave wasn’t very big, but as they went further in, it became much more spacious, like a narrow-necked bottle. The path they came in through was the bottleneck, and now they had entered the inside of the bottle. However, the surrounding environment hadn’t changed much. It was still just barren rocks and sand.
“Look, there!” Lu Yunming suddenly exclaimed, pointing in a direction, his voice filled with surprise.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and several people couldn’t help but gasp, because they saw the extremely precious Crimson Crystal covering an entire wall. Although it was only a thin layer, the quantity was still very large.
If they could take all of this with them, they would never have to worry about money for the rest of their lives. How could they not be happy and excited?
“I’m going to dig up a few pieces. We’re really rich now!” Gao Zhiquan couldn’t move when he saw the Crimson Crystal. He was the first to react and ran towards where the Crimson Crystal were. No one could stop him in time.
“Don’t go there, it’s dangerous!”
“Come back quickly!”
Everyone’s voices rang out at the same time, but at the same time, the cave shook as if it were an earthquake. The ground shook violently, and everyone almost lost their footing and fell to the ground.
“What’s going on?” “Is it an earthquake?” Gao Zhiquan lost his balance and fell to the ground, feeling the ground beneath his feet shaking as if something was about to burst forth.
It must be said that Gao Zhiquan’s senses were quite sharp at times, because the next moment, a giant red snake, tens of meters long, burst out of the ground and attacked the lone Gao Zhiquan.
“Gao Zhiquan!” Everyone watched in horror as the giant snake approached Gao Zhiquan. Its huge mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth. Most importantly, if it took one bite, Gao Zhiquan would be swallowed whole. However, they could only watch in terror, unable to rush forward to save him.
However, at that moment, a white light flashed, and the next instant, Luo Lingxing stood in front of Gao Zhiquan, his handsome face calmly confronting the red snake. A white light shot out from Luo Lingxing’s fingertips, fiercely attacking the red snake and forcing it back.
Taking advantage of the situation, Luo Lingxing threw the terrified Gao Zhiquan back into the group, intending to face the giant red serpent alone.
This snake’s abilities far exceeded those of Gao Zhiquan and the others. Sending them along would not only be of no help, but would also be a hindrance. Moreover, this was not the time for training. It would be better to finish the battle quickly. Besides, he was also very interested in the Crimson Crystal.
Luo Lingxing and the crimson giant snake fought back and forth, having a great time. Luo Lingxing even seemed to have the upper hand. Liu Quanming and the others who were “watching” from a distance were all stunned. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to go forward to help, but they were all shocked by the abilities Luo Lingxing was displaying and couldn’t react at all.
Although they had always known that Luo Lingxing was very strong, and they were willing to follow him as their leader, they did not know that their leader was actually this strong. He could even handle such a huge snake with ease. If it were them, they would have been killed by the snake in no time.
The one who felt the most emotional was Gao Zhiquan. Only now did he realize that when he fought with the boss, the boss had actually held back. Otherwise, he would have been instantly annihilated. Fortunately, he pulled back from the brink and abandoned his evil ways to follow the boss. Otherwise, he would definitely be cannon fodder now.
Their boss was so awesome!
While everyone was still in shock and their thoughts were running wild, Luo Lingxing had already dealt with the giant serpent guarding the Crimson Crystal. Don’t be fooled by how easily Luo Lingxing dealt with it; it was just unlucky that this giant serpent ran into Luo Lingxing. Otherwise, it would have been the one getting thrashed. Heaven knows how many people it had taken down before who wanted to get their hands on the Crimson Crystal, but today it was slaughtered by a few half-grown kids who didn’t even have a beard yet. Especially the one it fought, who was practically a little monster.
Of course, this giant snake would never know that a soul that had lived for a thousand years actually resided inside this little monster’s body. If it did know, perhaps it wouldn’t feel so resentful about losing today.
“Alright, you can come and get the Crimson Crystal now.” Luo Lingxing said to Gao Zhiquan and the others after dealing with the giant snake.
“Boss, you’re amazing! Following you was definitely the right decision, haha…” Gao Zhiquan was so excited that he almost forgot where the Crimson Crystal was. At this moment, in his heart, Luo Lingxing was definitely more precious than that Crimson Crystal.
“Boss, your skills are amazing! Can we learn from you?” Lu Yunming asked cautiously, his voice filled with anticipation.
“Sure.” Luo Lingxing readily agreed. He had already handed over the martial arts manuals to the soldiers in the military, so it wouldn’t hurt for a few more people to practice.
“Really? That’s great.” Lu Yunming was as excited as if he had won the lottery, and couldn’t help but jump up and down.
“Boss, boss, you can’t be biased! I want to learn too!” Gao Zhiquan said hastily, trying to persuade his brother.
“Boss, I’m here too,” Liu Quanming quickly added.
Jia Yunpeng and Jiang Ceqin were not to be outdone and spoke up. Li Mingqi obviously wanted it too, but he was too embarrassed to ask. After all, he had contributed the least along the way, and he was a military doctor, so he didn’t need much combat skills. However, he personally liked it very much.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Luo Lingxing, and no one paid even the slightest attention to the Crimson Crystal that they had previously been so eager to cherish.
“Those who want to learn can do so when the time comes,” Luo Lingxing said, pondering the likelihood of throwing them into the army to train with the soldiers.
At this moment, everyone was overjoyed to be able to learn martial arts from Luo Lingxing, but they were completely unaware that the miserable training days were about to begin.
Only after everyone received Luo Lingxing’s assurance did they have the mind to pay attention to the crimson crystals.
The wall was covered with red crystalline objects that are very translucent in the sunlight, hence the name “Crimson Crystal”. In addition to being heat-resistant and used as a material for mecha, Crimson Crystal could also be used to make ornaments. However, ornaments made of Red Crystal were very rare, and even fewer people could afford them. Therefore, everyone who owned Crimson Crystal ornaments were proud of it.
Of course, if Gao Zhiquan and the others obtained the Crimson Crystal, they certainly wouldn’t waste it on making ornaments, even though they see a lot of Crimson Crystal now.
“Boss, could you give me some of these Crimson Crystal to add to my mecha?” Gao Zhiquan asked. If a little Crimson Crystal were added to the mecha, its performance would be even better.
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingxing was somewhat surprised and said, “The Crimson Crystals are all here. You can distribute them as you see fit.”
Although he was very interested in the Crimson Crystals, everyone had come in together, so naturally everyone should get some. However, to his surprise, Gao Zhiquan and the others shook their heads and said, “Boss, you killed that giant snake. If we had faced it, we would have certainly died. All these Crimson Crystals should belong to you, Boss. But if you were willing to give us some to add to the mecha, that would be even better.”
“We feel incredibly honored to be able to see the Crimson Crystal with our own eyes and touch it with our own hands. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without you, Boss. So, Boss, all of this is yours.” Lu Yunming added, and the others echoed him, with no one raising any objections.
Luo Lingxing didn’t stand on ceremony and distributed it directly to them. Of course, he understood everyone’s feelings, so each person received a small amount, but it was enough to excite them. As for the rest, Luo Lingxing simply put it in his space. As for its use, he had already thought it through.
“Alright, let’s go out,” Luo Lingxing said to everyone.
Having seen the legendary Crimson Crystal and even received some, everyone was overjoyed. The journey back was much smoother, and they had already completed three of the five training missions. As for the remaining two, they believed they would be no challenge. They were confident they would take first place in this training!
