Chapter 160: Something Is Abnormal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The ten “suns” in the air flew around crazily again.

Just as the others were perking up and preparing for battle, Wang Xiao suddenly lay on the ground and pressed his ear to the scorching sand. He closed his eyes and listened seriously.

Seeing Wang Xiao’s actions, Yi Han could not help but look puzzled. “Idol? What are you doing?”

Wang Xiao made a shushing gesture. Almost at the same time, he heard a rustling sound under the sand.

The sound was very soft, as if there were insects crawling under the sand. However, Wang Xiao knew that it was because the sand was too thick and weakened the sound. At this moment, what was hidden under the sea of sand was definitely a huge creature!

“Everyone…”

Wang Xiao swallowed and looked at everyone, his face vaguely revealing a shocked expression. “We seem to have made a mistake…”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Wang Xiao pointed to the ground. “There’s something moving very deep below. If I’m not wrong, it should be the main body of the Blazing Golden Crow.”

“It can’t be, right?”

Xu Junrou revealed a doubtful expression. “If the Blazing Golden Crow is underground, what are those things in the sky?”

“I don’t know, but they should be related to the [Blazing Golden Crow].”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he waved at Yi Han and Zhao Yunyan, indicating for them to lie down like him. Then, he gestured to Zhou Xiruo to continue attacking.

Swoosh!

Another [Explosive Arrow] rushed into the sky, and dense arrow rain scattered in all directions. Even without deliberately aiming, it still affected two or three “suns”.

Almost at the same time, a sharp cry rushed up from the depths of the ground. The three people lying on the ground were caught off guard and felt that their ears were about to be deafened!

“It’s really underground!”

Yi Han and Zhao Yunyan rubbed their ears and shouted in unison. Although they did not know what connection the “suns” in the sky had with the [Blazing Golden Crow] underground, they believed that they had definitely not heard wrongly!

Zhou Xiruo and Xu Junrou’s expressions immediately became strange.

Actually, they still did not believe it at this moment. However, the chances of the three of them making a mistake or lying at the same time were too low. Moreover, there was no need for them to lie at all.

However, if the [Blazing Golden Crow] was really deep underground, how could they attack the other party?

Everyone thought of this problem. Wang Xiao, Yi Han, and Zhao Yunyan rubbed their ears and sat on the ground. Zhou Xiruo and Xu Junrou also came down from the [Giant Arrow Tower].

The five of them sat in a circle on the scorching sand, as if they had returned to the time when they had just entered this secret realm.

The ten “suns” in the sky had already stabilized again. Zhao Yunyan looked at them and suggested, “Since we can’t hit the enemy, why don’t we forget about it? Let’s collect some resources and go back while it’s still safe here?”

Lords explored the secret realm to collect resources. The most dangerous [Blazing Golden Crow] was sleeping underground. It could be said that it minded its own business. Therefore, Zhao Yunyan’s suggestion was very reasonable and cost-effective.

Unfortunately, other than Zhao Yunyan, the other four in this team were not

“ordinary people.”

After a moment of silence, Yi Han turned to look at Wang Xiao. “Idol, I want to challenge the Blazing Golden Crow. What do you think?”

Wang Xiao did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhou Xiruo beside him. “Do you want to collect resources or challenge it?”

Zhou Xiruo looked troubled. She hesitated for a long time before saying softly, “I want to become stronger…”

“Okay.”

Wang Xiao nodded and stood up. “Then let’s challenge it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Han and Xu Junrou also stood up. Although they did not say a word, the expressions on their faces clearly showed that they were prepared to fight.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yunyan could not sit still anymore. He hurriedly stood up and persuaded everyone, “I know you’re all geniuses, but we haven’t even seen what the Blazing Golden Crow looks like. Isn’t it too rash to rashly challenge it?”

Yi Han nodded when he heard this. “Zhao Yunyan is right. This is indeed a little inappropriate. Why don’t we go to the information library first?”

Xu Junrou waved her hand. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. It’s just a gold-quality exotic beast, not to mention that Wang Xiao is still here!”

At this point, Xu Junrou turned to look at Wang Xiao. “You decide. If you say you want to fight, we’ll fight directly!”

“Then…”

Wang Xiao was about to agree when he accidentally saw Zhou Xiruo shake her head slightly at him. He immediately changed his words. “Then give us some time to discuss it.”

Without waiting for Yi Han to say anything else, Wang Xiao took Zhou Xiruo a few steps to the side and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to become stronger just now? Why have you

changed your mind?”

“I’m not changing my mind. I just feel a little strange.”

Zhou Xiruo frowned and whispered, “In the past, it was always Yi Han who was impulsive. Xu Junrou always stopped him from the side, but why did they do the opposite just now?

After hearing Zhou Xiruo’s words, Wang Xiao recalled and realized that it was true.

According to Yi Han and Xu Junrou’s usual personalities, something like that should be Xu Junrou’s line. How could it come out of Yi Han’s mouth?

“Not bad! I didn’t even notice such a small detail.’

Wang Xiao gave Zhou Xiruo an approving look. After a pause, he asked, “Then what do you think the reason is?”

“I don’t know.”

Zhou Xiruo shook her head honestly. “But I think Xu Junrou is definitely hiding something from us, but Yi Han doesn’t want to do this.”

Wang Xiao nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, “Xu Junrou wants us to start a war with the Blazing Golden Crow. Then, we’ll go against her wishes and see what she wants.”

Zhou Xiruo nodded to show that she understood. Then, the two of them returned to the other three.

“We just studied it.”

Wang Xiao hesitated and spoke. At the same time, he secretly observed Xu Junrou’s reaction. “The situation is unknown now. It’s not wise to start a war rashly. Therefore, it’s better to collect resources first and go back to prepare before coming back.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Han and Zhao Yunyan immediately agreed. After all, they had thought so from the beginning.

However, Wang Xiao could not understand Xu Junrou’s reaction.

When she first heard that they were not going to fight, Xu Junrou indeed frowned, as if she felt that it was a little difficult. However, when she heard that they were going to collect resources, her brows immediately relaxed.

“Could it be that her goal is not to fight the [Blazing Golden Crow], but to make me stay here?”

Wang Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, but he immediately had a new question. If that was the case, what was Xu Junrou’s goal?

Was it because she wanted to achieve some goal in the secret realm? Or did something happen outside that she did not want Wang Xiao to know?

Wang Xiao thought for a while but had no clue. Then, he quietly held the secret realm key in his pocket.

The simplest way to figure out the other party’s motive was to break the other party’s plan..
