Although the flamingo’s nest and the golden dragon’s cave were in the same direction and on the same route, they were actually quite far apart and passed through many dangerous areas along the way. Therefore, it was not easy to even get there, let alone obtain the golden dragon’s most precious egg.
However, Gao Zhiquan and the others did not take these difficulties to heart. Whether it was reaching the Golden Dragon’s cave to obtain the dragon egg or encountering dangers along the way, they were all trials and tribulations for them, and they were all training that could effectively achieve the purpose of this training.
Gao Zhiquan and others may not have realized that their views and attitudes toward experience have changed without them even noticing.
Before the training began, Gao Zhiquan and the others hoped to complete the training tasks as quickly as possible, strive to defeat those arrogant students from the top class, and dampen their arrogance. However, now they were enjoying the process of the training rather than focusing on the result.
The Forest of Trails contained many valuable resources. Because it had always been used as a training ground for military cadets and was not open to the public, the precious plants and animals here had been well protected. In particular, Luo Lingxing found several spiritual plants that people in this world did not recognize, which made him very happy.
Ever since discovering the spiritual plants on Planet Seyfert, Luo Lingxing had been paying close attention. Every time he went to an unfamiliar place, he would look around to see if there were any spiritual plants on that planet. He never expected to find quite a few on the training planet this time.
The spiritual energy contained in spiritual plants was very gentle, and anyone who could cultivate could absorb it, even newborn babies with spiritual roots or cubs of spiritual beasts. Moreover, the spiritual energy in spiritual plants was gentler and better for these babies than the Power of Faith they absorbed.
Therefore, Luo Lingxing wanted to find more to take back for the two babies and Xiao Hei, and as a result, he almost overlooked this mission.
Even so, Luo Lingxing and the others had gained a lot along the way, and everyone was very satisfied with the result
“How come I never thought it could be like this before? When I came here for training before, I was always thinking about the mission and the final result. How many treasures have I missed?” Gao Zhiquan looked at everyone’s gains and felt extremely pained.
In the past, let alone looking for those treasures, even if they saw them, they would probably give up for fear of wasting time. After all, treasures were often accompanied by danger. To obtain them, one had to pay time and risks, and may even be eliminated as a result, which was not worth it for them. Therefore, they would mostly just skip them.
“That’s right. If it weren’t for Boss’s foresight, we probably would have gone home empty-handed again, except for the mission items. Boss is really amazing.” Jia Yunpeng was also very satisfied and happy about this.
“Come on, if the boss hadn’t been with you this time, how much treasure do you think you could have taken away with your abilities?” “I’m afraid we can only watch with envy.” Liu Quanming’s words instantly dispelled everyone’s pain.
They admitted that not everyone was as monstrous as their boss, who could easily acquire treasures. If it were them, let alone these treasures, they probably wouldn’t even be able to obtain half of what they currently possessed, even if they spent the entire duration of their training.
“That’s true. But following the boss really pays off. Just these treasures alone could fetch a lot of money. We’re making a killing.” Gao Zhiquan said, drooling as he looked at the treasures.
Although students who could afford to attend military academies generally come from well-off families, many majors were very expensive, especially for students in the mecha academy. They needed to spend a lot of money to buy mechas, and to improve their strength, they must practice constantly. However, practice could easily damage the mechas, and the repair costs would be another expense.
These all required substantial financial support. Therefore, even if someone had some money at home, it was not enough for them to practice and maintain such a large number of machines. These mecha students also took on part-time jobs to earn extra money to support their mechas.
The money they made from selling the treasure they acquired this time would be enough to cover the cost of repairing their mechas many times over.
“Most of them are boss’s,” Liu Quanming said, mocking Gao Zhiquan. He just loved seeing Gao Zhiquan get his comeuppance.
Gao Zhiquan glared at Liu Quanming and said, “Of course I know these are the boss’s, but there’s still half the time left. I’m sure I can find quite a few too.”
“I only need these few plants. You can divide the rest equally,” Luo Lingxing said.
Aside from the spiritual plants, nothing else was of any use to him. As for the money he made from selling them, he had no use for it either. He could never spend all the money the Luo family and Han Junzhan had given him in his lifetime.
“Boss, you’re so kind.” Gao Zhiquan was immediately moved to tears. It was hard for everyone to bear to look at such a tall guy who was 1.9 meters tall, with such a gesture and expression.
The others didn’t stand on ceremony either. They were all very clear about Luo Lingxing’s conditions. Knowing this was nothing to Luo Lingxing, but it was a different story for them.
However, they wouldn’t take it for nothing. They would follow and be even more loyal to Luo Lingxing in the future. If there was anything they could do to help, they would definitely do it without hesitation! We are ready to go through fire and water!
“Boss, don’t you guys feel like it’s getting hotter and hotter as we walk around here?” Jiang Ceqin noticed the surrounding environment and said to everyone.
Gao Zhiquan carefully examined the area and said casually, “No, this place is perfectly normal. Besides, there are no volcanoes or hot springs here on the map, and it’s not a hot place either.”
“I sensed something. Why don’t we go further ahead and see?” Liu Quanming added, his expression wary, deciding to go further ahead to confirm.
The group slowed down and became even more cautious.
In fact, Luo Lingxing had already noticed something was wrong here, but in order to train these people’s sense of danger and their sensitivity to their surroundings, he had not spoken up.
Luo Lingxing nodded slightly at Jiang Ceqin, who was the first to notice, and was satisfied with him.
It is commendable that a student who had not yet been exposed to various dangerous environments could possess such awareness.
Moreover, Jiang Ceqin’s performance was even better than Luo Lingxing had imagined. He thought it would take some more time before anyone noticed.
Although Liu Quanming only noticed it after being prompted by others, his performance was still relatively good. At least much better than Gao Zhiquan, who was prompted but still didn’t notice anything wrong.
The further they went, the higher the temperature became. Even the slow-witted Gao Zhiquan could feel the increase in the surrounding temperature.
“What’s going on?” “The map clearly shows there are no volcanoes or anything like that here, so why is the temperature getting higher and higher?” Gao Zhiquan asked, looking at the map with a furrowed brow.
Everyone stopped walking forward. Instead, they carefully studied the map, trying to find out why, but there was no clear indication on the map.
“Maybe things have changed here. Why don’t we keep going and see what’s going on?” Jia Yunpeng said. He was quite curious about what was ahead and had a feeling that there might be something there.
“Boss, what do you think?” Liu Quanming looked directly at Luo Lingxing, waiting for his instructions.
Although Luo Lingxing didn’t know what was happening or what was ahead, he had a premonition that there was something they would need. So, Luo Lingxing started walking forward almost without hesitation and took the lead.
Although the first position was that of the leader of the team, it also meant that if there was any danger, the first person would be the most unlucky. Luo Lingxing took the initiative to walk in front, and everyone knew that this was to protect them, so everyone was quite moved.
The further you go in, the sparser the trees and geraniums become, as if they couldn’t stand the temperature.
“Boss, there’s a cave over there,” Gao Zhiquan said, pointing to a cave not far away.
Everyone else couldn’t help but roll their eyes at him. Anyone who wasn’t blind could see that.
Luo Lingxing didn’t stop and walked directly towards the cave. Seeing this, the people behind him didn’t hesitate or doubt at all and followed closely.
Standing in front of the cave, you could feel waves of heat hitting you, which was clearly the cause of the temperature change in the surrounding area.
“Boss, do you think it might be volcanic rock inside?” “Or perhaps a fire-attribute beast?” Gao Zhiquan began to speculate, his thoughts wandering.
Since the heat originated from a cave, there must be something unusual inside, and the dangers were unknown, so everyone hesitated for a moment about whether to go in.
In the past, they would definitely have chosen not to go in, since it had nothing to do with their mission, and the cave looked very eerie, perhaps even dangerous inside. For them at the moment, it was a bit of a stretch. However, now they had Luo Lingxing, and they had encountered many dangers along the way, as well as obtained many treasures. It would be a pity if they missed out on any treasures in the cave.
Therefore, everyone once again gave the decision-making power to Luo Lingxing.
Luo Lingxing wasn’t particularly interested in anything other than spiritual plants right now, but this time he had a different feeling. The things inside might be useful to him.
“Let’s go in,” Luo Lingxing decided directly.
The group that entered the cave ahead of them did not notice that another group was also heading in the same direction not far behind them.
