190: Cannot Withstand a Single Blow
Situ Qingyin pointed at a few low hills in front of them, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“Su Yuan, according to the concentration of the Ice Element in this Secret Realm’s depths, there might be Snow Crystal Stones in those valleys.”
Situ Qingyin turned her head, and it seemed Su Yuan was gazing at a certain spot ahead.
“Su Yuan, what’s the matter?”
Su Yuan lightly smiled and said, “Someone is coming.”
“Hmm?” Hearing this, Situ Qingyin couldn’t help but heighten her vigilance.
Along the way, the two had encountered several other exploration teams, but most were in a hurry to rush deeper in and had no interaction with them.
In the wild, other unknown humans were often more dangerous than Star Beasts because you never knew what their intentions were…
Shortly after, Situ Qingyin saw a sensually dressed woman and an ordinary-looking man walking toward them. They quickly reached Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin.
“Are you two also heading to the Ancient City Ruins in the depths of the Secret Realm?” Wang Dongqiang asked with a smile.
Ancient City Ruins?
Su Yuan’s heart stirred but he did not respond directly. Instead, he asked, “May I ask who you two are?”
Wang Dongqiang smiled and said, “We are also exploring here. We have two friends hunting ahead, so we are keeping watch here.”
While Wang Dongqiang and Su Yuan were chatting, Fan Sanmei discreetly observed Su Yuan, noticing that not only did his Star Power Fluctuation not leak at all, but his aura was virtually undetectable.
Su Yuan nodded and said, “Hunting, huh? It seems the prey is precious enough to need someone keeping watch.”
“Hahaha, it is indeed quite precious.”
Wang Dongqiang laughed heartily. He wanted to make a move but hesitated when he saw Fan Sanmei frowning beside him, so he held back for now.
Wang Dongqiang apologized, saying, “Sorry for the inconvenience, but could you two please step aside and go around?”
Su Yuan glanced behind Wang Dongqiang and smiled, “I don’t think that will be necessary. It looks like your friends are already back from their hunt.”
“Huh?”
Wang Dongqiang and Fan Sanmei were startled and turned their heads to see Gao Ge and Feng Hao’s figures appearing in the distance, slowly approaching.
Wang Dongqiang and Fan Sanmei exchanged glances, not expecting their teammates to finish the battle just at this moment…
“Qiangzi, Third Sister, why did you come over here?”
Feng Hao and Gao Ge approached, with Feng Hao carrying a sack on his shoulder.
The sack occasionally moved, and fresh blood seeped through, dripping onto the snow.
Situ Qingyin curiously glanced at it, unsure what kind of Star Beast was inside.
However, Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
A person…
Compared to Situ Qingyin, who had little battle experience, Su Yuan, who had killed many, could tell with just a glance that the sack contained a person.
Moreover, judging by the size, it was likely a girl.
“Who are these two?”
Feng Hao’s gaze fell on Situ Qingyin and lingered.
Even though she wore plain clothes, Situ Qingyin’s noble demeanor, cultivated from childhood, deeply attracted Feng Hao.
Feeling the shameless stare, Situ Qingyin frowned and crossed her arms slightly in front of her.
Wang Dongqiang smiled and said, “These two are also adventurers heading to the Ancient City. They happened to pass by while you were hunting. I intended to ask them to go around, but it seems that’s not necessary now.”
Wang Dongqiang said to Su Yuan, “You two may proceed. Goodbye, till fate brings us together again.”
“Alright.” Su Yuan responded with a smile and then led Situ Qingyin forward.
…
“What are you doing? Why didn’t you make a move on these two fat sheep?” Feng Hao asked anxiously.
Wang Dongqiang said, “I wanted to, but Third Sister didn’t allow it…”
Feng Hao turned to Fan Sanmei, “Third Sister, why did you let those fat sheep go when they were delivered to our doorstep?”
Fan Sanmei frowned, “My intuition tells me they’re not easy to deal with.”
“Intuition?” Feng Hao sneered, “That’s just superstition, isn’t it? We’ve been through so much together. How could four of us possibly fear two students, even if they’re top geniuses from Black Snow Country?”
Unable to resist anymore, Feng Hao threw the sack he was carrying to Gao Ge.
“I don’t know what you’re afraid of. I’m going in first!”
After saying this, Feng Hao vanished into the snow, swiftly moving forward under its cover.
Fan Sanmei opened her mouth but said nothing. After all, “intuition” was ephemeral.
Given the current situation, they were just two Silver Stage students. There was nothing to fear.
“Let’s go!”
