The next morning, Qin Xiao woke up in Wen Xiangnuan's arms.

It's just that the weather is a bit hot and sticky.

As soon as Qin Xiao moved, Bai Ling in his arms woke up.

He mumbled incoherently.

"Good morning, Master!"

Qin Xiao patted her back. "Good morning, you too. You must have had a hard day yesterday. How did you get some rest?"

"I don't know, it felt like I closed my eyes yesterday and it was already now."

Bai Ling snuggled lazily in Qin Xiao's arms and stretched.

Ilya woke up after hearing their conversation.

As soon as she moved, Qin Xiao felt a ripple-like sensation on the back of his head.

"Get up, everyone's awake."

Qin Xiao got up, took out the water he had prepared from the contract space, and washed himself quickly.

Bai Ling and Ilya both returned to their contracted spaces to wash up.

Soon, everything was tidied up.

Qin Xiao left the 'room'.

This godforsaken place has no sun to tell the time.

Qin Xiao knew from his bracelet that he had rested for about seven or eight hours.

There was still someone on night duty outside.

He is a male member of the Willow Catkins team.

Qin Xiao nodded to the other party, ignored them, and walked directly to Zhou Lei's room door.

"Lei Zi, wake up!"

"They're here! They're here!"

Zhou Lei's voice sounded somewhat flustered.

Qin Xiao stood at the door, looking on with suspicion.

After waiting for about five minutes, Zhou Lei came out.

"Lei Zi, what are you doing? You're all in such a hurry. Are you practicing some kind of family heirloom craft?"

Zhou Lei looked evasive. "Who? Who would do such a thing? What kind of person do you take me for?!"

Qin Xiao laughed, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. If it's not, it's not. What's your name?"

"You're slandering someone's innocence out of thin air!"

Zhou Lei looked at him as if he were a fool not worth discussing things with.

He took two steps, then turned back.

"By the way, Xiao-ge, did you bring any tissues?"

Qin Xiao was also taken aback by the question. What the heck?

However, Qin Xiao immediately realized what was happening.

"So you didn't bring any toilet paper, huh?"

Qin Xiao said, giving him a disdainful look.

He took out several packs of tissues from the contract space.

"Lei Zi, just speak up. There's no need to be so formal. I have plenty of paper. Why bother with this?"

Qin Xiao wasn't lying; he had plenty of these daily necessities in his contract space.

Zhou Lei held the tissue in his hand, said nothing, and walked away silently.

"Hey, why did you suddenly leave when we were talking like that?"

"Let's stop playing and go!"

Qin Xiao smiled and stopped teasing him, then called out Ilya and Bai Ling.

"Ah, it's definitely more comfortable in someone else's flower field."

As soon as Bai Ling came out and felt the temperature of the room, she pouted and said.

Qin Xiao patted her head and said, "Bear with it for a few days, Ling'er, let's make some money by taking advantage of the deals."

Bai Ling lay on his head, and he rolled over onto Ilya.

After removing the wooden barrier that had blocked the door yesterday, Zhou Lei and I pushed the door open and went inside.

As for saying goodbye, there's no need for that.

Just tell Wang Wei, who's on night duty.

Qin Xiao and his companion entered seven or eight rooms in a row, but apart from encountering a silver-level lizard, they didn't find anything of value.

Although all the rooms have the same style, it is very boring.

However, due to Qin Xiao's overwhelming strength, the two were relatively relaxed.

Zhou Lei had completely lost the cautious demeanor he had yesterday.

"Lei Zi, be careful. How can your older brother dare to let you go out and make your own way in the world if you keep acting like this?"

Zhou Lei, perched on Iron Claw Bear's shoulder, fanned himself. "Brother Xiao, don't worry. It's because you're here, Big Brother. If you weren't here, I would definitely be more cautious than anyone else."

"Brother Xiao, are we still going to keep pushing forward like this today?"

Qin Xiao leisurely fanned Ilya with a fan.

"I plan to first get to the Silver Rank 5 or 6 position and quickly scan the area horizontally."

This way, we won't stay here and risk those teams teaming up and fighting over monsters.

Zhou Lei nodded, "That's true. I reckon in another day or two, this section in front of us will be a complete mess."

After all, aside from a few highly skilled teams, a small squad generally wouldn't dare to sneak into the back rooms.

The two talked as they walked into the room.

We didn't stop to eat lunch; we just had some vacuum-packed braised duck and beef.

It was around 3 PM, according to the bracelet timer. Qin Xiao was calculating his current gains while waiting for Zhou Lei to collect spirit crystals.

"Brother Xiao, it's all done."

Zhou Lei handed over two spirit crystals.

This room was lucky; there were two strange beasts mating there, but Qin Xiao wiped them out in one fell swoop.

Qin Xiao nodded, and with a gentle push of his legs, Ilya stepped forward and pushed open the next stone door.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a wave of heat hit us.

The outside temperature was already quite high, but I didn't expect it to be even higher inside this door.

Ilya instinctively took two steps back.

"Master, something's wrong with this room."

"Ilya said in a deep voice."

Qin Xiao nodded. "I saw it. Lei Zi, don't come in yet, be careful."

Standing at the doorway, one could see a river of lava churning on the ground inside the room, with bubbles rising from the orange-red magma every now and then.

A strong smell of sulfur, accompanied by waves of hot air, swept over us.

"Brother Xiao, something's strange about this room. Should we just leave?"

Looking around the room, one sees a river of lava that disappears underground.

"I'll go check, it's fine."

As Qin Xiao spoke, Ilya stepped inside.

Enduring the smell of sulfur and the high temperature, Qin Xiao quickly looked around the room. The room was very large, almost half the size of a football field.

However, at first glance, no strange beasts were found.

Bai Ling stood warily atop Qin Xiao's head, her large, light blue eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Master, look at the middle of the lava!"

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Qin Xiao immediately looked at the lava river that had emerged from the ground.

In the middle of the lava river is a small 'island' of about ten square meters.

There was a black, stone-shell-shaped flower-like plant growing on the ground.

Qin Xiao didn't recognize what it was.

Next to this plant-like object, there was a conspicuous blackish-red rock.

The identification skill is activated.

Lava Stone Core, a purple wonder, is immature. Its effects include: enhancing the talent of fire-type beasts below the purple level, increasing the potential of fire-type beasts, and randomly adding fire-type beast skills.

Earthfire Beast, Blue Talent, Silver Seven-Star, Skills: Earthfire; Stone Skin

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up after reading the description of the appraisal skill.

Wow! This is a rare and precious treasure!

"Ling'er, kill it, but be careful not to hurt my baby."

"You naughty master, you have to give me a massage later!"

"Okay, okay, be careful."

Bai Ling leaped up from Qin Xiao's head, her body swelling in mid-air.

Stepping on foxfire, he landed in the lava river and ran towards the island reef.

The commotion startled the Earth Flame Beast, which opened its cold, golden-red vertical pupils and its massive body suddenly stood up.
