Chapter 27: The Passage! Xu Guang and the Others' Surprise

After wandering around Shi Mo City alone, Soul Cang found a seemingly decent restaurant and satisfied his hunger.

Then, he took a short nap. When the sun was about to set, he went to the southeastern part of Shi Mo City to take a look.

Xu Guang acted very quickly, mainly because he dared not disregard Soul Cang's instructions. After a brief discussion with Xiao Ding and the others, he immediately initiated the action.

The desert is unlike other places with trees and flowers. With nothing to obstruct the view, finding things is extremely convenient.

With their abilities, Xu Guang thought that the adult would not make everyone search in the sky, so the only place left to search was underground.

Thus, a group of people toiled under the scorching sun, digging with enthusiasm.

As darkness fell, the heat in the desert gradually dissipated. The group took a short break and enjoyed their dinner.

Xiao Li plopped down next to Xiao Ding, his eyes curiously fixated on the sunken sand where they had dug: "Big Brother, what kind of treasure do you think it is?"

Xiao Ding, who was eating, paused his chopsticks. He looked at his younger brother and sternly said, "Don't be so curious. Just focus on doing your work properly."

He really was quite cautious, not even allowing a discussion. Xiao Li sighed at his Big Brother's prudence.

Then, he looked left and right, lowering his voice: "Big Brother, have you forgotten about the Big Brother my little brother recognized? If it really is a treasure, if we have a chance, we can hide a piece and give it to him."

Xiao Ding was startled, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes, and a hint of hesitation on his brow.

He didn't speak after that, but his brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

After a simple rest, the digging work continued.

On the sand dunes, ubiquitous torches and moonstones held above their heads served as their lighting tools.

With the effort of nearly a thousand people, a huge sand pit quickly appeared in the sand.

Xu Guang stood on a sand dune, glancing at the map, then at the site, his brows furrowed in a knot.

Based on the flame marker on the map, he had already arranged for people to expand the digging area threefold and had dug nearly fifty meters down, yet there was still no discovery.

Could it be that the adult made a mistake? A guess emerged in his mind.

"Ah!!!"

At that moment, a shrill scream echoed through the night sky. Xu Guang followed the sound, his figure moving rapidly across the sand.

When he arrived at the spot, he found that someone had accidentally dug into a passage and fallen in, having stepped into empty space.

A passage… Wait a minute!!

Xu Guang's eyes widened. A passage dozens of meters underground in the desert? Where did that come from?

He looked up and saw similar expressions on the faces of the others.

Just then, a voice came from above:

"Not bad, much faster than I expected!"

Everyone looked up and saw a figure had quietly appeared in mid-air, they didn't know when.

"Adult!" Xu Guang heard that the task was completed ahead of schedule and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his face showing joy.

Soul Cang nodded slightly and took out a cloth bag the size of a head and a jade bottle from his storage ring.

Xu Guang subconsciously caught them. Before he could ask, he heard Soul Cang's voice: "The cloth bag contains medicinal powder. Mix it with water and drink it. For those below Great Dou Shi, it can increase cultivation speed by more than ten times. The bottle contains a Breakthrough Pill, which can help you directly break through a minor realm."

The medicinal powder was a system reward when Soul Cang gave Xiao Yan some small items. It was useless to him, so he took it out as a reward now.

As for the Breakthrough Pill, he refined it himself in his spare time.

It was only right to give Xu Guang a small reward for completing the task so quickly.

Soul Cang did not want to be criticized for being stingy.

"Thank you, Adult."

Xu Guang clutched the pill tightly, his face unable to hide his joy. Xiao Ding and the others, as well as the rest of the people, had all heard Soul Cang's words and expressed their gratitude.

With such a large bag of medicinal powder, to be used with water, there were so many of them, they would definitely get a share.

It could increase cultivation speed by a full ten times. Although it didn't say how long it would last, even one day would be great.

"Adult, are there any other instructions?" Having received benefits, Xu Guang immediately became proactive.

Soul Cang waved his hand: "No need, you all leave first. The matters that follow are not for you to get involved in."

The reason he called them to dig was mainly to shorten the time.

Otherwise, with his Dou Emperor strength, it would still take him a lot of time and effort to search this area beneath the desert.

Soul Cang was still quite lazy. If he could find others to solve it, he was truly too lazy to do it himself.

Everyone left one after another.

Among the crowd, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked back repeatedly, a hint of reluctance in their eyes.

"What a pity, I didn't expect this Adult to be watching all along," Xiao Li said with a tone of regret.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~~

Xiao Ding put his arm around his brother's shoulder: "It's better than getting the item, hiding it, and then being discovered by the Adult."

At that time, it would be a dead end!

He didn't say this sentence, but he knew his brother understood.

After the group left the sand pit, they didn't actually leave the area but stood on the sand dunes, watching curiously.

What kind of treasure could interest such a powerful figure?

Ignoring those gazes, a large amount of black mist emerged from Soul Cang's body, forming snake-like shapes that drilled into the passage.

After more than ten minutes, a smile appeared at the corner of Soul Cang's mouth: "Found it!"

He looked in one direction, raised his hand, and launched an attack. Countless black mists condensed into a cylinder, directly plunging beneath the sand dune.

A rumbling sound spread directly through the open night. Sand slid down like liquid, revealing a passage from which a dazzling red light emerged, accompanied by an incredibly scorching aura.

"There's actually magma below?!" Xu Guang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

It's normal for there to be magma underground, but how deep had they dug? There was still a world of difference from the true depths of the earth.

Soul Cang covered his surface with a layer of Dou Qi, and his figure shot in like a cannonball. The huge impact caused fiery red magma to splash dozens of meters high.

"What terrifying strength, he can even ignore the high temperature of the magma!" Xiao Ding swallowed, looking at the rapidly falling magma.

If it landed on him, he would surely be melted instantly!

Time passed bit by bit. No one was willing to leave. Their curiosity, instead of dissipating with the appearance of the magma, grew even stronger.

In the distance, the sky gradually dawned, and the morning light covered the sand.

Countless figures sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, cultivating.

Last night, Xu Guang and the others, having nothing to do, simply got a large vat of water and tried soaking the medicinal powder Soul Cang provided.

They were surprised to find that just one spoon was enough to produce an effect lasting nearly seven days.

Everyone present got a share of the medicinal water, and only one-third of the packet was consumed.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were incredibly shocked at the time. Twenty-one days of ten times cultivation speed was equivalent to saving two hundred days of cultivation time.

Many people had achieved breakthroughs that night.

Xu Guang, at this moment, let out a long breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with surprise. He had broken through to Great Dou Shi Five-star.

"Enough to crush Rob. That scoundrel, if he dares to provoke me again, I'll definitely give him a lesson," a cold light flashed in Xu Guang's eyes.

Just then, the ground suddenly vibrated violently. Everyone stood up, their hearts pounding as rapidly as the sand on the ground.
