When he saw Liu Huaixin digging out a black gemstone from the wall, Wang Teng couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
"Raw stone mine?!"
Wang Teng was astounded. He finally understood.
Liu Huaixin's strange actions made sense now.
Their mission wasn't just to eliminate the dark apparition. Occupying the raw stone mine was the key.
It was obvious that Liu Huaixin hid this information.
Whether it was sending the Tiger Warrior Team and Wolf Fang Team away or setting up the Runes formation, they didn't want this place to attract too much attention.
On the other hand, Wang Teng had always found it strange.
It was a dangerous mission. Why did the military only send out so few people? Why did they have to recruit them?
Now, it was clear!
This was the Xingwu Continent. If too many martial warriors were sent out, it would attract the attention of various factions in the Xingwu Continent. By then, it would be hard to say who the raw stone mine would belong to.
All in all, it was this series of concerns that led to the current situation. At the same time, it also involved the Tiger Warrior Team, who happened to be nearby.
Even without Yao Jun's instigation, if they met and Liu Huaixin didn't have enough manpower, the Tiger Warrior Team would still be recruited.
However, since they were from the same planet, Liu Huaixin would definitely prioritize the mission. He wouldn't send them to their deaths.
However, humans were all selfish.
Yao Jun had made an offer that he could not refuse. Perhaps it was nothing much to a young master like Yao Jun, but to him, it was an important bargaining chip for him to climb up the social ladder. So he could only wrong the Tiger Warrior Team … and let them die!
In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed past Wang Teng's mind. He touched his chin. His eyes flashed. Then, he left the tunnel and entered the right tunnel.
Liu Huaixin and the others needed to rest for at least half an hour. He had plenty of time. It was enough for him to pick up another wave of attributes.
Sigh, hardworking people don't have time to rest!
The right tunnel was also littered with the corpses of giant black rats. There were giant rats in all three tunnels. Those who didn't know would think that this was a rat nest.
No matter what, the Wolf Fang Team was an elite team among the low-level martial warriors. All the members were 3-star soldier-level martial warriors. It was easy for them to deal with these giant rats.
Wang Teng walked and picked up the attribute bubbles floating on the ground.
[Dark Force * 5]
[Spirit * 6]
[Dark Force * 3]
[Blank Attribute * 9]
…
These giant rats had been corrupted by darkness, but they couldn't be considered dark apparitions. At most, they were dark creatures. However, the origin power they dropped was all dark origin power. This allowed Wang Teng's dark origin power to rapidly increase.
Before they reached the end, they bumped into the returning Wolf Fang Team.
It looked like they were injured, but it wasn't a big deal.
Only Yao Jun was cursing along the way. He was obviously in a bad mood because when he was killing the Rat King, his clothes … were dirtied.
If it were any other martial artist, how could they be as delicate as him!
Chong Liang's eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness. This young master was not easy to serve.
They walked over and did not notice Wang Teng, who was hidden in the darkness.
Wang Teng ignored them and quickly rushed into the depths of the passage.
Not long after, he saw a black Giant Rat that was twice the size of the other Giant Rats being decapitated, its corpse lying in the middle of the tunnel.
"This is the Rat King they were talking about!"
Wang Teng's eyes flashed as he looked at the Rat King's corpse. There were several even larger attribute bubbles floating quietly.
Pick up!
[Dark Force * 46]
[Spirit * 35]
[Blank Attribute * 50]
Good heavens!
Wang Teng was really surprised. The attributes dropped by this Rat King alone were comparable to the attributes dropped by seven to eight normal Giant Rats.
There were six to seven Giant Rat corpses beside the Rat King. Wang Teng also picked up their attribute bubbles.
Then, he immediately returned.
He gained quite a lot from this trip. He gained a total of 335 points of Dark Force, 88 points of Spirit, and 280 blank attributes.
As the Dark Force entered his body, Wang Teng's body trembled.
Abundant Dark Force rose from the second Force Core, flowed along his spine, and entered the third Force Core.
Dark Force 3-star — achieved!
[Dark Force]: 17/1000 (3-star)
In less than a day, his Dark Force had risen from 1-star to 3-star soldier level. This speed was terrifying!
His Spirit had also increased by a large margin.
[Spirit]: Spiritual Realm (44.1/100)
Wang Teng felt that the Spiritual Force in his mind had become stronger. It even started to feel sticky.
He had a feeling that if he used his Spiritual Force to control the Shooting Star Spiral now, it would be very powerful. If he caught his opponent off guard, he might be able to kill a 5-star soldier-level martial warrior.
However, whether it would work or not still depended on actual combat.
When Wang Teng returned to the fork in the road, he saw Yao Jun, Chong Liang, and the others.
Seeing that Liu Huaixin hadn't come out yet, Yao Jun was preparing to enter the middle path.
"Young Master Yao, this isn't a good idea." Chong Liang was a little hesitant. He could tell that Liu Huaixin didn't want them to enter the middle path. If they entered rashly and angered Liu Huaixin, they might offend the military indirectly.
The military's authority wasn't just for show!
"What are you afraid of? Liu Huaixin didn't say that we can't enter. If he asks, just pretend that you don't know anything.
"Also, don't you think that they're very mysterious? I'm guessing that there must be something good inside. Don't you want to take a look? "
Yao Jun didn't seem to care at all. As he spoke, he walked inside.
"This …" Chong Liang was really curious. However, he didn't dare to follow Yao Jun. Compared to Yao Jun, they didn't have any background. If Yao Jun was fine and the military wanted to vent their anger on them, wouldn't they be courting death?
However, not long after Yao Jun walked into the middle path, he retreated. He looked a little embarrassed.
Behind him were Liu Huaixin and the other military martial warriors. They were covered in blood and had a murderous look on their faces.
Chong Liang couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Yao Jun's defeated expression. However, he didn't show it on his face. He quickly went forward.
"Platoon Leader Liu."
"Yes." Liu Huaixin nodded and asked, "Have you settled everything on your side?"
"Including the Rat King, all the giant rats that were infected by the darkness have been killed by us," Chong Liang said.
"Well done." Liu Huaixin praised and then frowned. "There's still no news from the Tiger Warrior Team. It seems like they're in trouble. However, the high-level dark apparition hasn't rushed out yet. This means that they haven't completely failed. It's time for us to make a move."
"Why don't we wait a little longer? It's best to let the high-level dark apparition kill them before we make a move." Yao Jun had a smile on his face, but his words were extremely vicious.
Chong Liang and the others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Liu Huaixin didn't feel anything. He looked at Yao Jun expressionlessly and said slowly, "Let's go in first. Whether we make a move or not depends on the situation."
Yao Jun shrugged and didn't say anything else.
Everyone walked into the left path under Liu Huaixin's lead. They thought that everything was under control, but they didn't know what was waiting for them.
