Hearing Xie Tong's words, the man's expression changed. He knew that if he went there, it would be disastrous. Even if he went there, the crystal stone would not be his.
Thinking of the consequences, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Senior Brother Xie Tong, can you ? ?" "Don't tell me to go ?" he cried.
He didn't want to die yet.
"Tsk tsk, who else should I call if not you?" Xie Tong couldn't help but laugh when he saw this person's expression.
"This ?" This person couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't want to go, but if he didn't want to go, then someone else would have to.
Although he was afraid, he wasn't as dark and gloomy as Liu Yongliang.
At this moment, Xie Tong had the sudden urge to tease this person, as well as Mo Dao and the others. He immediately said coldly, "It's fine if you don't go, but you have to choose one of the other three!"
"I'll go..." Hearing Xie Tong's words, this person could not help but shake his head and say.
At this point, he was no longer as scared as he was before.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of death, instead you have a spirit of loyalty." Xie Tong couldn't help but sigh.
Even Mo Dao and the others were surprised.
At this moment, Mo Dao said, "Senior apprentice brother Xie, I'll go in his place."
"For you people to be so loyal despite being weak... How rare..." Hearing Mo Dao's words, Xie Tong was a little taken aback.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But even if you were to replace him, you guys are still lacking one person."
"How about this, let me go in Brother Wang Yi's place." Lin Long suddenly said.
As for the senior brother Wang Yi, his voice was trembling.
The reason why Lin Long stepped forward was not because he had any sense of brotherhood with these people. After all, they had only met by chance.
The reason why he did this was entirely because he wanted the crystal stone inside. If he did not enter, Xie Tong and the others would not have a share of the crystal stone. Therefore, he naturally had to take the risk.
"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, this has nothing to do with you. You don't need to get involved in this mess." Hearing Lin Long's words, Mo Dao frowned.
"Senior apprentice brother Mo, I feel that my strength is a bit stronger than senior brother Wang Yi, and the possibility of me being injured in the first place is much lower. That's why I said those words." Lin Long said.
Just as Mo Daoyi was about to say something, Xie Tong suddenly said, "Alright, then it's your turn. As for the other one, it's Mo Dao!"
Xie Tong did not choose on behalf of Lin Long and the others, but because it was clearly better for Lin Long to choose Mo Dao and Mo Dao. Because if they picked Wang Yi, then Wang Yi would be so scared that he would not even take a step forward.
"Thank you Senior Brother, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin ? "There's no need to replace me ?" At this time, Wang Yi was still speaking.
Hearing his words, Xie Tong's face hardened. "I already said that they would be going. Wang Yi, why are you interrupting?"
Seeing the fierce look on Xie Tong's face, how could Wang Yi dare to speak?
Mo Dao also said, "Alright, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, you can come with me."
"Alright, you two, lead the way!" Xie Tong said coldly.
However, Mo Dao said, "Senior apprentice brother Xie, allow me to exchange a few words with Wang Yi and the other two."
"Fine, just a few words will do. Don't waste your time!" Xie Tong replied.
After hearing Xie Tong's words, Mo Dao immediately walked to the side and called Wang Yi and the other person over.
"Senior apprentice brother Mo, what do you want to say?" The other person asked as soon as he came over.
Mo Dao said in a deep voice, "Wait until we enter, the two of you will leave this place immediately!"
"Senior apprentice brother Mo, how can we do that? What will happen to you guys later and they won't care about you. Who will come out to receive you?" Wang Yi could not help but say.
"Yeah, when you're injured and Xie Tong and the rest ignore you, what will you do?" Let's wait for you outside. " Another person said.
"From what they said just now, there's a high chance that we won't be able to come out if we go in. If something happens to us at that time, they might come looking for you. So, it's better if you leave first, otherwise you'll be in trouble later!" Mo Dao quickly replied.
It was because he thought of this that he allowed the two of them to leave.
Hearing Mo Dao say this, the two people's faces changed.
However, Wang Yi continued, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, we won't leave. We will definitely wait for you outside!"
"Listen to me, you guys can leave later!" Mo Dao frowned.
Before the other two could answer, Xie Tong had already lost his patience. "That's enough, don't be so childish. Come over here!"
Because of Xie Tong's words, Wang Yigao and Wang Yigao swallowed their words back.
Mo Dao then warned, "Alright, I'm going in. The two of you have to listen to my advice!"
With these words, Mo Dao turned around and walked towards Xie Tong and the others.
Looking at Mo Dao's back, Wang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "We have to wait for senior apprentice brother Mo, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin and the rest!"
At this moment, his voice was no longer trembling.
"Alright!" The other one said without hesitation.
At this time, Mo Dao and Lin Long had already walked into the cave filled with ice crystals. This cave had already been inspected by Xie Tong and the others, so they did not encounter any Earth Rats after they had gone past.
The moment they entered the next cave, Xie Tong spoke up. "We've already walked less than half of the length of this cave. You'd better be careful, or there'll be any ground rats coming out at any time!"
Although Mo Dao and Lin Long were only cannon fodder, he did not want the two cannon fodder to become useless so quickly.
"Got it." Mo Dao nodded.
He and two other people would be to the left, while Lin Long, Xie Tong and another person would be to the right.
This time, Lin Long had only taken a few steps forward when he sensed danger from the ground in front of him.
Although the ice crystals inside had a natural isolation effect on divine sense, Lin Long, who had a strong divine sense, could still feel the danger in his surroundings.
Looks like there's a rat underground, Lin Long thought.
He knew that if he were to continue acting like this, he would definitely be ambushed by this rat. Due to his prediction, he would definitely be able to stop it from ambushing him.
However, this way, Xie Tong and the others could feel that something was wrong. After all, they couldn't stop him. Why would a new disciple like him be able to?
Therefore, Lin Long gave up on doing this. His choice was to speed up a bit.
This way, the gophers would not attack him, but instead target the people right behind him.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Long immediately increased his speed.
Indeed, the moment he increased his speed, the rats below had no choice but to attack him.
Of course, this was not to say that the Earth Mouse would not attack once they increased their speed, but rather, it was due to the timing.
Lin Long's slight acceleration did not surprise the people following closely behind, so he still proceeded at his own pace.
As soon as he left, a black shadow immediately emerged from the ground below and directly attacked him.
It was a hamster.
Since Lin Long had already walked over, the person did not expect that there would be a ground mouse appearing below him. As a result, he, who was caught unaware, was bitten on the left leg by the ground rat.
"Ahh ?"
As he cried out, Xie Tong, who was behind him, sent a sword strike towards the rat. In the next moment, the rat was cleaved in half.
"Why did he go over ?" "There are still gophers down there ?" The man grimaced in pain.
"I don't know either. I'm already here, why is there still the Earth Mouse?" Lin Long pretended to be confused. At this time, he had already stopped.
"Perhaps this brat wasn't here when he went over. He only came over after he had gone over." Xie Tong guessed.
How would he know that this was exactly Lin Long's reason.
"Looks like that's it." The person being bitten had a bitter expression.
He could only admit his misfortune.
After taking care of their wounds, the group continued on their way.
At this time, Lin Long had already discovered that the underground rats were really moving. When he first entered, the rats had all stopped, but it seemed that because of them entering the place, the rats were already slowly moving.
This made Lin Long even more happy, because he could make a coincidence and let the Earth Mouse attack Xie Tong and the others. Once Xie Tong and the others were severely injured, there would not be anyone left to snatch the crystal stones from him.
If he were to continue walking in a straight line, he would need to walk for a long distance before he would encounter the Gnomes. Therefore, in the next moment, Lin Long suddenly shifted to the right.
"Kid, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Long's unusual movement, Xie Tong could not help but speak coldly.
"Senior Brother Xie Tong, I feel that it would be dangerous if we were to walk straight ahead, so I want to try walking to the right." Lin Long explained.
Xie Tong frowned. However, he could not detect any danger, so he did not immediately deny Lin Long's actions. He immediately said, "Brat, don't play any tricks!"
"Senior Martial Brother Xie Tong, how could I have the ability to play tricks?" Lin Long said as he put on an act.
Xie Tong did not doubt Lin Long's words and followed closely behind Lin Long.
Of course, it was still the injured person who was right behind Lin Long.
Taking a few more steps, the same situation as before appeared. That was, after Lin Long walked over, another hamster came out from the ground and directly bit towards the injured person.
Although he was on guard, he had been injured twice before and the man couldn't react in time. He was bitten again by this rat.
The first time he was injured was when he came in alone with Xie Tong and the others.
This time, he was bitten back where he came from.
"Ahh ?"
After the scream, he was in so much pain that he almost fainted. Thankfully, Xie Tong was quick on the uptake and managed to kill the hamster.
This kind of situation had occurred twice in a row, causing Xie Tong to involuntarily turn his gaze towards Lin Long, before speaking coldly, "Kid, what is going on? Is that because of you? "
"Senior Martial Brother Xie Tong, how could I have the ability to command the Earth Mouse? This must have been an accident." Lin Long spread out his hands, and said with an innocent look.
That was true. With his abilities, how could he control a ground mouse? It must have been an accident, Xie Tong nodded to himself.
After all, even the dean of the academy couldn't guarantee that he would be able to order these rats around, so how could a newly enrolled disciple do this?
However, he still said harshly, "Brat, honestly lead the way. Don't play any tricks or I won't mind killing you!"
"Senior Martial Brother Xie Tong, don't worry, I won't play any tricks." Lin Long quickly promised.
"Humph!" Xie Tong snorted coldly, but said nothing more.
For the second time in a row, there were no Gnomes on Mo Dao's side.
After taking care of his wounds, Xie Tong asked them to continue walking forward. This time, it was the injured person who followed closely behind Lin Long.
This was naturally arranged by Xie Tong. In these two consecutive situations, how could he let himself be in danger? Naturally, he still had that person following closely behind Lin Long.
Some of them were things that Xie Tong could decide, so even if he had complaints in his heart, he could only follow behind Lin Long honestly.
This time, they safely passed through the cave and did not encounter any Gnomes.
However, what made them depressed was that they still couldn't find any crystals.
I hope there are crystals in this cave! Looking at the cave he had just entered, Xie Tong prayed in his heart.
Just as he had that thought, something happened to Mo Dao. A ground mouse suddenly drilled out and charged towards Mo Dao.
Even though Mo Dao's reaction was quick, he was still bitten by this Earth Mouse. Fortunately, it was only a slight wound.
"Mo Dao, you reacted well." Seeing Mo Dao like this, Xie Tong couldn't help but praise him.
He knew that if it was any of his lackeys, their injuries would definitely be more severe than Mo Dao.
"Senior Martial Brother, you're too kind." Mo Dao replied.
"Alright, let's continue." Xie Tong waved his hand.
Immediately, the group continued forward.
A few steps more and something happened to Lin Long's side. A ground mouse suddenly crawled out from the ground and bit towards Lin Long.
Of course Lin Long did this on purpose, if not, no matter how foolish Xie Tong could be, he would know that there was something wrong with the person behind him.
Seeing that the Gnomes were about to attack, Lin Long pretended to be panicking and dodged to the right. He was not like the others who were dodging or attacking at the same time.
What made Xie Tong and the rest astonished was that Lin Long actually managed to dodge the rat's attack, causing it to not be able to harm a single hair on Lin Long's body.
The moment Lin Long dodged it, Xie Tong and already made their moves, and the two swords that they used at the same time directly killed the Earth Mouse.
"Brat, I didn't expect that besides your movement technique being pretty good, your luck was pretty good." Xie Tong couldn't help but say.
He could naturally see through the movement skill that Lin Long had displayed. However, he felt that the most important part was that Lin Long's luck was good, otherwise, he would have definitely been injured by this Earth Mouse.
How could he have known that Lin Long had known that a hamster had suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
"Alright, let's continue!" Xie Tong ordered again.
At this moment, the few of them continued to move forward.
