Jiang Ruobai agreed with Luo Xinglan's statement: "Xia, don't be impulsive. We should find out why this Demon King was able to be reborn."
Sun Zexia put away his crossbow: "Alright, I'll do as you say!"
After saying this, he kicked the Storm Sand Demon King again: "Hey, Turtle King, quickly explain yourself to me! Why on earth were you able to be reborn?"
The Storm Sand Demon King was furious: "A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. You have humiliated me time and again, and I will not let you go!"
Sun Zexia snorted, "Hey, you ignorant thing, do you realize your current situation? You are our prisoner! How dare you brag? Do you believe I can shoot an arrow through your head?"
The Storm Sand Demon King sneered, "Go ahead and try."
Sun Zexia sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning! Do you think I will kill you and let you be reborn just by saying that? Dream on!"
The Storm Sand Demon King was furious: "You! You'll regret this!"
Sun Zexia was about to say something when Luo Xinglan stopped him: "Let me do it."
She looked at the muddy Storm Sand Demon King and asked, "Where is the Jade Crystal? If you tell me where the Jade Crystal is, I will let you go."
The Storm Sand Demon King: "I will never give you the Jade Crystal even if I die. Forget it."
Luo Xinglan: "You'd rather die than hand it over to me? Does that mean the Jade Crystal is with you now?"
The Storm Sand Demon King paused, then immediately retorted, "Oh, how could I possibly carry such an important treasure with me? Let me tell you, the Jade Crystal is somewhere none of you can find! I'm the only one who knows that place!"
Luo Xinglan sneered: "So, where on your body is it hidden?"
She saw clearly the expression of the Storm Sand Demon King just now, and the jade crystal was definitely hidden on it!
However, it's now completely like a pile of mud; where exactly is the jade crystal hidden?
Luo Xinglan looked back and forth at the "remains" of the Storm Sand Demon King.
The Storm Sand Demon King was finally frightened, but he still forced himself to remain calm. "I told you the Jade Crystal isn't with me! How about this? I'll tell you where the Jade Crystal is. If you let me go, I'll never bother you again. We're even now!"
Luo Xinglan: "Oh? Weren't you just yelling that you wouldn't let us off the hook?"
The Storm Sand Demon King spoke with a perceptive tone, "We can say we've known each other for a long time. I've witnessed your strength, and you know my weaknesses. I can't do anything to you, but likewise, you can't do anything to me. So why should we continue to be enemies? Wouldn't it be better to shake hands and make peace?"
Luo Xinglan stroked her chin, deep in thought.
Sun Zexia was anxious: "Xiao Lanlan, you don't really want to make peace with this turtle king, do you? If we let it go now, who knows if it will go back on its word and kill us again?"
Luo Xinglan: "Forget it, I think the Sand Demon King is right. We can't do anything to each other, so we might as well shake hands and make peace."
Sun Zexia looked at Luo Xinglan with a puzzled look. Was Xiao Lanlan crazy? How could she actually believe the Turtle King's words?
He was somewhat unwilling, but Jiang Ruobai gave him a wink, and even though he was still puzzled, he kept quiet.
After hearing Luo Xinglan's words, the Storm Sand Demon King immediately agreed happily: "That's right, that's the choice a smart person would make!"
Luo Xinglan: "Okay, then tell me the location of the Jade Crystal now. As long as I find the Jade Crystal, I will let you go."
The Storm Sand Demon King pointed in a direction and said, "Go forward. You will find a spherical cactus under the sand dunes not far away. The Jade Crystal is hidden under that cactus."
Jiang Mingze: "Sister Lan, I'll go find her!"
Sun Zexia: "I'll go with you!"
The two immediately followed the direction given by the Storm Sand Demon King to search.
The Storm Sand Demon King looked at Luo Xinglan: "Now that I've told you the location of the Jade Crystal, can you let me go?"
Luo Xinglan: "I'll let you go once my friend is found... But, in your current state, can you even leave?"
It has become a puddle of mud. Where else does it want to go?
The Storm Sand Demon King looked at her with some fear and said, "As long as you stop splashing water on me, this little bit of water will evaporate quickly, and then I will recover."
Luo Xinglan nodded: "I see."
Soon, Jiang Mingze and Sun Zexia returned, both with joy on their faces.
Sun Zexia shouted from afar, "Xiao Lanlan, we found the jade crystal! I didn't expect it to be right under that cactus!"
A few seconds later, the two came in front of Luo Xinglan.
Sun Zexia handed the jade crystal to Luo Xinglan.
As soon as Luo Xinglan took it, the system recognized it:
[Found the Jade Crystal! "Weapon Master" Exclusive Quest Progress: 2/9 (Iron: 0/1, Copper: 0/1, Silver: 0/1, Gold: 0/1, Zircon: 0/1, Obsidian: 0/1, Jade Crystal: 1/1, Multicolored Jade: 0/1, Rainbow Stone: 1/1)]
At the same time, the mission announcement sounded in all regions and servers around the world:
[“Weapon Master” Exclusive Quest Progress: 2/9, keep up the good work!]
"Half the time has already passed, and the mission is only 2/9 complete? The person who took the mission is really useless, isn't he?"
"Yeah, no wonder the system created a new branch quest to replace it. So they think Luo Xinglan can't complete the mission?"
"But I feel something's not right. There are four types of metals: iron, copper, silver, and gold. How can the mission progress only be 2/9?"
"The big shot must have gone to find those hard-to-find ores first! Isn't she in the high-level desert right now? She must have just found some very rare ore!"
"Who knows? Let's just watch the show and let the big shots from each district compete for this task."
"..."
Not only the spectators in each server and region heard the real-time report of the mission, but also the people who accepted the "Replace" side quest.
Ouyang Mingzhu is one of them.
