C27 Go into the labyrinth and part ways

Rong Hua raised his eyebrows, even Ben Lei did not know what kind of ore it was, so could it be that only Duan Canghai knew?

"I'm not too sure either. The emperor said that there is a rare mine here for me to bring over to clear the wasteland. After that, he will give the general's manor 20% of the ore." Duan Canghai's words surprised everyone. He actually didn't know what was going on either.

Rong Hua rubbed her chin, feeling that something was amiss, she looked around at the remaining mercenaries once again. Those people were all silent, a person like this was most suited to be a killer.

Could it be that the Emperor was trying to get rid of Duan Canghai?

Thinking about this, her heart started to shiver. If it was really like this, then the East Continent Royal Family would collapse very soon.

"Boss ?" Long Zhuiyun wanted to say something but hesitated.

Rong Hua asked: "What's wrong?"

"Boss, if I have nowhere else to go, would you let me follow you?" Long Zhuiyun asked irrationally.

"You won't have a place to go?" Rong Hua thought that he was joking.

Long Zhuiyun used the soul strength to communicate with Rong Hua: "Boss, do you remember that you told me to go home and check on my demonic pets? My father discovered a secret, and that was that the person who left the spy imprint in the companion's mind was the Emperor's trusted aide.

I think that my uncle the Emperor will be courting death, and at that time the East Continent's surname will definitely change. "

Rong Hua laughed, "Do you not have confidence in the Imperial Family?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just a matter of course. Right now, the royal family is rotten to the core. Once that happens, I won't have a home anymore." Long Zhuiyun was a little emotional.

Rong Hua understood what it meant to have no family matters. If the East Continent Royal Family was done for, those nobles would be suppressed, even worse off than ordinary commoners. Unless their abilities were a little stronger, there would be a way out for them.

She reached out and patted Long Zhuiyun's shoulder, "Don't worry, you're my brother. I'll definitely split half of what I have to eat with you."

They did not promise any wealth or nobility. After all, those were just floating clouds, and it was only through tribulations that one could truly live.

Long Zhuiyun laughed: "What I am most glad about in this life is that I have been kicked by you!"

"Cough, cough ?" Rong Hua was a little embarrassed.

Long Zhuiyun looked left and right, then said: "There seems to be another secret behind this mission."

"What?" Rong Hua was startled.

"I heard that there is some kind of secret in this area. I think that the General Duan came here for this secret too. Otherwise, if he knew what the Emperor was thinking, wouldn't he be stupid?" Long Zhuiyun winked his eyes.

Rong Hua rubbed his chin, maybe he really had some kind of secret, otherwise why would someone use such a strong magic plant to guard the entrance?

She was still considering whether she should tell Duan Canghai about this or not. If she said so, would he believe her?

Just as he was hesitating, Duan Canghai had already given the order to continue forward.

The more they walked along the mine tunnel, the more complicated it became. There were even many forks in the road, and at the end of each dead end was a very large space. There were some underground magical beasts, either mutated rats or scorpions.

Along the way, everyone was exhausted. However, what made them even more dejected was that they arrived at the last dead end.

"Strange, is there no other way?" Ben Lei kept groping around in front of him.

Rong Hua walked over to take a look. There were no signs of artificial digging on the natural cave walls.

Could it be that the person who left the magic plant knew that this was a dead end and went back to get the mining tools? Or perhaps there was a hidden path that they had not found.

"Oh no, there are magical beasts!" Someone shouted.

Rong Hua turned to look, it was a strange beast, a snake head, lizard body, there was a thorn on the top of its neck, and on every spike, there was a black sphere.

"This is the Explosive Serpent Lizard. Everyone be careful." Li Dadao shouted.

Rong Hua's eyelids jumped, this Raging Snake Lizard was not one to be trifled with. Although its body was not even a meter long, and the black balls on the spines could explode, every single one of them had the power of a grenade, and it actually had five.

"It would be great if a five hundred year old Serpentine Lizard could collect all of the balls." Some began to daydream.

The staff in Duan Canghai's hand moved and drew a circle, and the circle suddenly turned into a bubble, surrounding Rong Hua inside.

Long Zhuiyun poked it with his finger: "This is the general's shield, it's safe for you there."

Rong Hua frowned: "I want to go out and fight, how can I break it?"

"I can't break it. Since the general is protecting you, then don't move recklessly." Long Zhuiyun was not one bit jealous.

"But I'm stronger than you! Why would I protect you instead of protecting you?" Rong Hua was not courteous at all when he spoke.

Long Zhuiyun looked at her with hidden bitterness: "Boss, what the General is doing is always logical. Maybe he's afraid that you'll become the vanguard again, and that you'll have a good rest?"

"This ?" Rong Hua was speechless.

BOOM! With a loud bang, a huge hole was blasted through the cave wall. It turned out that the Serpentine Burst Lizard had thrown out an explosive bullet when it was attacked from all sides.

Duan Canghai shouted, "Be careful, focus on its eyes and abdomen."

The fight on the other side was extremely lively, making Rong Hua extremely depressed. Although she did not know why Duan Canghai treated her so well, and the only thing she knew was that she could not help as she could not even break this bubble.

"Rumble ?" The Serpentine Lizard threw out a few more explosive bombs.

"It's out of luck. Hurry, keep fighting!" Ben Lei shouted excitedly.

However, the Raging Snake Lizard's temper was as explosive as a bomb. It hissed as it charged in and exploded itself beside Rong Hua.

Rong Hua's expression changed as he summoned his Bloodthirsty devil to support his weapon, wanting to defend against the explosion. However, he underestimated the power of the explosion.

Duan Canghai leaped up and hugged Rong Hua. "Are you alright?"

"No ?." "I'm fine!" Rong Hua's face was a little hot. Duan Canghai was perfect.

The two of them landed on the ground. Unfortunately, before they could say anything, someone shouted, "General, there's actually a brick wall here."

Duan Canghai put Rong Hua down and quickly walked forward.

So, this wasn't a dead end, it was just a trap that had been set up by someone.

Duan Canghai did not rush to enter, but instead turned around and said: "Duan Clan Army, follow me. After the rest of you enter, take care of your own business.

A maid asked, "General, did you know that there were ruins here?"

"That's right!" Duan Canghai admitted it without hesitation.

The mercenaries' eyes immediately lit up. None of them wanted to leave, but one of them asked, "General, if you take something inside, do you want to hand it over?"

"No need, if you can obtain something then it's fate that you don't have to hand it over. If someone kills you for the treasure then I won't interfere. Everything will be according to the rules of the secret realm exploration!" Duan Canghai no longer had a smile on his face, nor did he have a warm aura.
