Meng Chao's palms were covered in cold sweat.
Even though he had activated Walking Corpse and lowered his breathing and heartbeat to the minimum to hide himself perfectly, he was not discovered by Lin Chuan and the White Spirit.
But because of that, he did not dare to use the Ultimate Level Basic Gun Technique and use his mind to lock down on the White Spirit.
Otherwise, this cunning beast would have sensed his presence in an instant.
If he did not use the Ultimate Level Gun Technique, the distance was too far, the angle was not good, and the grenade launcher was not a sniper rifle that emphasized on accuracy. He did not have the confidence to blow up the White Spirit's head.
"I'd be a fool if I believed you. You're the one who knows how to brainwash me, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone crazy with you!"
Qin Hu drew his saber and crawled over. "Tell me, how are we going to fight?"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
The arrow was already nocked, and it had to be fired. No matter how low his chances of winning were, he could only …
At that moment, Lu Siya suddenly cast a glance in the direction where he was hiding.
Meng Chao's heart instantly froze.
Lu Siya, who should have been brainwashed by the White Spirit, did not cry out. Instead, she blinked quickly and shook her head as if she was twitching.
Lin Chuan and the White Spirit thought that this was a normal reaction from a mind control, so they did not pay much attention to it.
Meng Chao bit his lip and let go of the trigger before he retreated to the wall.
"What's going on?"
Qin Hu glared at him. "I've finally gathered my emotions, and you're chickening out again?"
"No, I …"
Meng Chao closed his eyes and replayed the scene just now in his mind to make sure that it was not a figment of his imagination.
Lu Siya knew about his existence.
At the last moment, she even shook her head to tell him not to attack.
How could it be?
Why?
Meng Chao licked his cracked lips and used the pain to clear his mind. Then, he used the periscope to observe the situation above.
The White Spirit had already completed its mind control, and its three tails hung down again.
Lu Siya's eyes were still clear, and her face did not look as numb as if she had been hypnotized. She just looked a little excited, just like … Lin Chuan when he went underground.
"That's right. The Red Radiance Jade mine must have a lot of reserves, and it's enough for the three of us to share. With your help, I can only climb to the throne of supreme power in Sky Pillar Corporation. I should cooperate obediently. It's better than dying here and turning into an ugly pile of bones," she mumbled.
It was as if some emotions and logic in the depths of her mind had been magnified endlessly and had hypnotized her.
"Siya, you finally understood."
Lin Chuan placed his hand on her shoulder and said gently, "Once we're done, we'll become the same kind and be together forever."
"That's right, Lin Chuan. We will … become the same kind and be together forever."
Lu Siya smiled. The conflict and anger from a moment ago disappeared without a trace.
Once she finished speaking, she cast a deep glance at the White Spirit, grabbed Lin Chuan's hand, stood up, and threw herself into his arms.
The White Spirit watched this scene quietly.
It was as if it was just an emotionless beast.
"I can sense that the Red Radiance Jade mine is below us. We have to hurry, or else, more mine exploration teams might discover this place."
Lu Siya leaned against Lin Chuan's chest and pointed at the darkness below the cliff.
She pointed in a direction that was incredibly far away from Meng Chao and Qin Hu.
Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction. He packed up everything with the White Spirit and organized a few sets of rappel equipment used by mine explorers. Under Lu Siya's guidance, they arrived at a spot far away from Meng Chao and Qin Hu. They fixed the rappel equipment on the wall and slid down one by one.
Meng Chao and Qin Hu stuck close to the wall like two dried geckos. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Fortunately, as the power of the explosion slowly faded away, the subsurface plasma became thicker again.
Besides, the underground was chaotic. Only crystal mines shone with a dark light, so visibility was incredibly low.
They were more than one hundred meters away from each other, and the wall had a certain curve. Lu Siya continued talking and introduced the characteristics of the Red Radiance Jade mine as well as the exploration methods to attract Lin Chuan and the White Spirit's attention, so they did not notice them.
They held their breaths and waited for a total of five minutes before they jumped up the cliff. They sprawled on the ground and broke out in cold sweat while they gasped for breath.
Qin Hu pushed Meng Chao. "Why didn't you shoot just now?"
Meng Chao hesitated for a moment before he told him what he had discovered.
"Lu Siya knows that we're hiding here? How is that possible?! "
Qin Hu was stunned for a long time before he frowned and said, "But now that I think about it, she seems to have intentionally lured Lin Chuan into saying a lot of things so that she would reveal her weakness. I don't know much about mind control, but I know that flies don't bite seamless eggs, and we need medicine to cure mental problems. If we want to break mind control, we must first figure out where the crack in the mind is. Now, we know what Lin Chuan's problem is."
Meng Chao nodded and analyzed the situation. "Lu Siya isn't a simple woman. She wouldn't be controlled by the White Spirit so easily.
"There are plenty of Slit-mouthed Anacondas down there, and they haven't tasted human flesh for years, so they aren't too aggressive. Once we forced them to retreat, they didn't surround us again.
"But now, they've already eaten a lot of human corpses, and they're thirsty for blood. They're much fiercer now. It won't be easy for Lin Chuan and the White Spirit to move through the Slit-mouthed Anacondas' hunting grounds.
"If we really find the main Red Radiance Jade mine, under the interference from the powerful spirit energy magnetic field radiation, the brainwaves of all carbon-based intelligent lifeforms will turn into a pot of hot porridge. The White Spirit's mind control will be weakened to the limit, and the difference between a superhuman at the peak of Earth Realm and a superhuman at Heaven Realm will shrink.
"I think that this is the best time for Lu Siya to give us to attack."
"You trust Lu Siya that much?" Qin Hu asked.
Meng Chao nodded.
Regardless of whether Lu Siya would resort to any means necessary or whether she was as vicious as a snake, there was one thing he was certain of.
In his previous life, she did not choose to work together with Lin Chuan and the White Spirit.
Otherwise, she would not have been a nobody, and Lin Chuan would not have died here.
There would definitely be other variables when they faced the main Red Radiance Jade mine.
'As long as we can stop everything, I'll work together with you and Lu Siya. It doesn't matter!' Meng Chao gritted his teeth.
Qin Hu scratched his chin for three seconds before he registered what Meng Chao meant. "Brat, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing. Hurry up and see how many useful items there are around us. Weapons, medicine, explosives, mine exploration tools, anything works!"
The two of them swiftly packed up the area.
Meng Chao found a lot of high-calorie food.
Qin Hu, on the other hand, brought back dozens of weapons that shone brightly like lancet knives and were carved with fine runic symbols.
"I think that Lin Chuan must have been controlled by the White Spirit, and there's something wrong with his head. All he cares about is the Red Radiance Jade mine. Otherwise, Shen Yulong's Shooting Star Blade is a very powerful weapon. There's no reason why he wouldn't take it."
Qin Hu whistled. "You're lucky, Mr. Hu. I've never used such a treasure before. Brat, give me half an hour. I want to activate my vitality magnetic field and resonate with the runic symbols on the Shooting Star Blade so that I can use it for myself."
Meng Chao's level was not high enough, so it was useless even if he took it. But when he looked at the Shooting Star Blade, a thought popped up in his head.
However, when he looked at the Shooting Star Blade, a thought popped up in his head.
"Perhaps the White Spirit doesn't need something like the Shooting Star Blade in its subsequent plans. It only needs a lot of explosives." Meng Chao's voice was cold.
"What did you say?" Qin Hu asked.
"Didn't you notice? They were carrying a few bags full of crystal bombs just now," Meng Chao said.
"In the beginning, I thought that the White Spirit went to inspect the corpses to search for weapons like the Shooting Star Blades or to deal the final blow to the heavily injured. But when I looked around just now, I realized that it wasn't interested in weapons or gene medicine. It only took away all the crystal bombs."
When mine exploration teams went underground, even though mine explorers could change the structure of the rocks and create tunnels or escape routes, their efficiency was too low. They would also run into the problem of running out of spirit energy.
Blowing up tunnels with crystal bombs or smashing the brutal monsters underground to death were also necessary choices.
Both mine exploration teams brought a lot of crystal bombs with them.
They also dug holes in the rock strata and stuffed the crystal bombs inside to seal the holes so that they could create the most explosive tools.
During the fight, there were also people who went mad and threw crystal bombs at their enemies.
But they were not hand grenades meant for fighting, so the explosion procedure was rather complicated. Not everyone was as crazy as them.
There should have been quite a number of crystal bombs that they had not used.
But they were all taken away by Lin Chuan and the White Spirit.
They were taken away along with the tools to increase the power of the explosions.
"Why?"
Qin Hu could not understand it. "Red Radiance Jades contain the most spirit energy, but at the same time, they're one of the most unstable super crystals. They can't be mined with explosives. Why did they bring so many crystal bombs down?"
When Qin Hu said this, his voice suddenly turned soft.
He exchanged a glance with Meng Chao, and both of them shuddered at the same time.
"Ten minutes! I only need ten minutes!"
Qin Hu sat down cross-legged and sprinkled his blood on the Shooting Star Blade. His vitality magnetic field stirred up, and it resonated with the weapon.
Meng Chao found a corner and used his fastest speed to gobble down a large amount of high-calorie food until his stomach bulged up as if he was pregnant.
Then, he used his mind to activate Kindling.
