Xu Xiwang and Su Yueyao, who were in the corner, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
Then, the two of them laughed, their laughter was quite sinister.
Good grief, these people are going to the same destination as me!
The leader of the men in black frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's that lab? How much do you know about the situation inside?"
The man trembled with fear and replied in a shaky voice, "Sir, I know a little bit! I really don't know the specific reason!"
"Brother, we can't completely trust what these two say. What if they're lying?"
A burly man standing nearby offered a reminder.
"I used to work in that lab. That lab was very strange! When the world's spiritual energy was revived, strange phenomena suddenly occurred in the lab. Blood rivers appeared inexplicably, and many experimental creatures mutated! Most of the staff died inside!"
"A River of Blood? What the hell is a River of Blood?!"
When Xu Xiwang and Su Yueyao heard the words "Blood River," an ominous premonition immediately welled up in their hearts.
The leader of the men in black asked, "How big is that river of blood?"
The man thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I remember when I left that lab, everyone inside had been sucked dry; there wasn't a single survivor."
Xu Xiwang and Su Yueyao exchanged a glance; one shook her head, and the other nodded.
"That's all I know. Beyond that, I know nothing."
The leader of the men in black frowned and said, "You'd better behave yourselves, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"I promise, I won't run around!"
The two people who were tied up quickly said something.
The leader of the men in black nodded and said nothing more.
"Hey bro, maybe we shouldn't go? This sounds really scary!"
"A younger brother asked."
"Yeah, boss, we can't risk our lives for this precious thing!"
The leader of the men in black glared at the other man and said, "Shut up, I have my own plans."
"Xu Xiwang, let's go! Save people and grab the treasure!"
Su Yueyao grabbed Xu Xiwang and was about to go up and fight the men in black, but Xu Xiwang pulled her back.
"Don't make any rash moves, okay? I've been using my equipment to check, and the leader in black is at least at the Qi and Blood Realm! The other three are all at the Half-Step Qi and Blood Realm! We're just going to be their free kills!"
"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't let this opportunity slip away! Look at those people's bags, so many spirit fruits!"
"No rush, let me think about it some more."
After Xu Xiwang finished speaking, he squatted down by the wall and began to study it.
Su Yueyao, standing to the side, remarked, "...Aren't you being a little too calm?"
Xu Xiwang: "......"Are you sure we really want to do something that stupid?
"Hey, stop dawdling! I'm starving!"
Su Yueyao urged.
As soon as Su Yueyao finished speaking, a rumbling sound came from her stomach.
She patted her empty stomach, scratched her head somewhat awkwardly, and said, "How about we find a place to make a fire and eat some meat? I'm hungry."
Looking at Su Yueyao's pitiful appearance, Xu Xiwang shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, let's start a fire and roast the meat first."
The two started a fire and grilled meat in a secluded corner not far away. While grilling the meat, Su Yueyao kept stealing glances at Xu Xiwang.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Xu Xiwang asked.
"Have you come up with a plan yet? If you ask me, I'll blast them to smithereens with one rocket."
Xu Xiwang couldn't help but chuckle at her irritable appearance.
Do you think everyone else is stupid?!
Xu Xiwang rolled her eyes and said.
"Oh! What a pity, they're all treasures!"
Su Yueyao sighed.
Seeing her dejected look, Xu Xiwang patted her shoulder and teased her with a smile, "You're such a money-grubber! Don't worry, I won't let you down. We'll definitely get the treasure! Besides, that place sounds dangerous. Let's just follow behind them and have them scout the way for us!"
Su Yueyao's eyes lit up, and she said, "Great idea! Let's just wait and reap the benefits!"
Haha~
Seeing Su Yueyao's smile, Xu Xiwang smiled too.
After a long while, they all stopped talking and quietly grilled the meat.
After a long silence, Xu Xiwang finally looked up and asked, "Why did you, a girl, come here to take on this adventure?"
Xu Xiwang's question made Su Yueyao pause slightly. After a long while, she slowly said, "Actually, it's nothing. My mother has a terminal illness and needs a lot of money. My father died in the mouth of a monster while trying to earn money to buy medicine for my mother. I can only come here to find spiritual fruits to cure my mother's illness."
Xu Xiwang didn't press further, feeling that these were things she shouldn't know. His acquaintance with Su Yueyao was merely a coincidence.
There was absolutely no connection between them.
All he could do was try his best to keep Su Yueyao out of danger.
Xu Xiwang glanced at Su Yueyao, then handed her the roasted chicken wings he was holding.
Seeing this, Su Yueyao quickly took the chicken wing Xu Xiwang offered, took a bite, and said while munching on it, "There's a sweet potato in it too!"
Xu Xiwang didn't say anything, just glanced at her, and then lowered her head to eat the grilled chicken wings again.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yueyao threw away the roasted chicken wings, took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack, gulped it down, then unscrewed the cap and handed it to Xu Xiwang, saying, "Here!"
