Chapter 330: You really want to go? (2)

Not far from the Dark Night Forest, in a desert, three figures could be vaguely seen running across the sandstorm. Qin Wu was leading the way, followed by Leng Ruxiang and Lü Jianguo.

"Swish..."

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed across the desert as the three moved at incredible speed, their afterimages becoming the only visible traces of their movements.

Leng Ruxiang shouted from behind, "Hey Qin Wu, stop running so hard! Nobody's chasing us anymore!"

Having broken through to the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, Qin Wu's physical attributes were noticeably different, his aura was much stronger than before, and his speed was getting faster and faster, so fast that even Leng Ruxiang couldn't catch up with him despite his full pursuit. As for Lü Jianguo, he was far behind the two of them, staggering with every step.

Upon hearing Leng Ruxiang's shout, Qin Wu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stopped in his tracks.

"Ah-"

Their feet rubbed against the desert for nearly ten meters before slowly coming to a stop. Seeing this, the two people behind them also slowly stopped.

The two looked puzzled.

Leng Ruxiang frowned and said, "I told you to slow down, not to stop running."

Lü Jianguo also looked puzzled, breathing heavily.

"Wha...what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu smiled mysteriously, a glint of barely perceptible shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Want to pull off a big heist?"

Seeing Qin Wu's mysterious demeanor, Leng Ruxiang's expression also turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"Do you remember what I told you yesterday about how cuttings can survive?"

Qin Wu's words almost made the two of them choke.

I thought it was some mysterious, big deal, but after all this time it turned out to be just an unrealistic idea.

Both Leng Ruxiang and Lü Jianguo shook their heads vigorously, like rattles.

"Are you crazy? I told you yesterday that this idea is no good, why won't you listen? Do you want to go back and die?"

"That's right, Qin Wu, let's forget it. We've finally escaped, there's no need to go back. Nan Yue City is definitely under martial law now, we'll be discovered before we even get close."

The two were startled by Qin Wu's words. They didn't expect Qin Wu to be so bold. He had escaped death twice and still wanted to go back to Nanyue City to die. Was his head made of iron?

To everyone's surprise, Qin Wu was not angry at all upon hearing this; instead, his confidence grew even stronger.

"It's not that exaggerated. I just broke through to the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, and my strength has greatly increased. I have a windfall I'd like to ask you about. Are you willing to give it to me?"

Actually, it wasn't that Qin Wu was deliberately keeping people in suspense, since this matter involved his system.

As he broke through, he checked the system and found that weapons could be exchanged. What excited Qin Wu even more was that he saw a storage ring in the system shop, which immediately caught his eye.

A small storage ring can store nearly one cubic meter of items, which is perfect for a cheat-like player like Qin Wu.

This ring can also be upgraded. The first upgrade costs one million points and increases the area to ten cubic meters. The second upgrade costs five million points and increases the area to fifty cubic meters. The larger the upgrade goes, the larger the ring can even fit a rocket or an atomic bomb.

How could Qin Wu waste such a treasure?

Moreover, Qin Wu had finally accumulated ten million points, and then exchanged them all for weapons in one go. He was left with no money, so he couldn't participate in the lottery or buy anything. Qin Wu was not willing to accept that.

That's why I boldly devised this plan on the road. If I'm lucky enough to succeed this time, I might become the greatest hero by annihilating Qin Wu of Nanyue City.

But Qin Wu wasn't stupid. He knew that two people couldn't handle this plan alone, so he had to find reinforcements. As for where the reinforcements would come from, he could only ask the people of Dawn City.

Leng Ruxiang was completely confused. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "...explain yourself clearly."

Qin Wu's expression changed slightly, and his tone became serious.

"My plan is for the two of us to go to Nanyue City. If we can't carry the big tree, can't we grab something small? Are you willing to accept so many spirit stones? I certainly am not. Rather than letting these people from other planes use them for cultivation, I'd rather steal them for them. Of course, I'm not unprepared."

He turned his gaze to Lü Jianguo and said with a smile, "It's only a few thousand miles from here to Shuguang City. If we run at full speed, it will only take half a day. Go back and report the situation, and call for reinforcements. We'll make our move after dark, by which time the reinforcements should have arrived by then."

"How about we team up from the inside and make a fortune?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Jianguo's face turned green, almost purple (as Zhao Hao)!

He glared at them hastily and growled, "Are you crazy? You two dare to go back to Nanyue City? Are you afraid you won't die fast enough?"

He immediately shook his head vigorously, refusing repeatedly.

In contrast, Leng Ruxiang's expression wasn't as exaggerated, but he still had a furrowed brow and a darting gaze.

Are you sure you want to go?

He wasn't entirely without this idea in his mind. So many spirit stones would definitely be a problem for the people of this plane, but the mission was too dangerous, and he was weighing the pros and cons.

Qin Wu nodded.

He thought to himself, "I've used up all my points. If I don't find a way to earn some more, what will I eat and drink?"

His dark eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

He laughed and said, "That's right!"

Chapter 331: The Spirit Stone Mine Was Blown Up (3)

To be honest, he didn't dare go into the inner city. After all, there was a monster at the Nascent Soul stage inside. Going in would be suicide. He could just cause some trouble in the outer city. But he still had to be careful. If he really lured out that tree demon, he would be doomed.

Qin Wu thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Lü Jianguo and said calmly, "Go back now and tell the garrison commander and the Grandmaster our plan. We'll make our move as soon as it gets dark."

Lu Jianguo looked at the two with a troubled expression, his heart filled with conflict. Why wouldn't they leave? They had already left the Dark Night Forest and were about to reach Dawn City.

After careful consideration, he gritted his teeth and asked again, "Are you sure you want to go? If you go, you definitely won't be coming back. Even if I go to find reinforcements, Dawn City's actions will definitely trigger a reaction from South Moon City. Really, let's go back."

His words were filled with deep concern.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu's eyes flashed with confidence, and he slowly smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. You go back first and tell the Grandmasters that there's no need to send too many people. Otherwise, too much noise will definitely attract attention. We'll just stay in the forest next to Nan Yue City in 273 and make our move tonight."

Lü Jianguo frowned, his face full of worry.

"Okay... I understand, I'll go back now."

After saying that, Lü Jianguo didn't waste any time and ran at full speed, disappearing more than ten miles away in the blink of an eye.

With Lü Jianguo gone, only Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang remained on the desert.

One looked calm, the other had a furrowed brow.

Qin Wu glanced at Leng Ruxiang, who had a worried look on his face, and pursed his lips.

"If you're scared, you can go back. I'll go by myself."

Leng Ruxiang was displeased upon hearing this. Back then, he had tried to stop Qin Wu from entering the city but failed, leaving him stranded outside. He felt deeply looked down upon by Qin Wu, and this time, he was determined to prove that his former status as the number one on the Earth Ranking was no joke.

“I’m scared? You’re kidding! If you’re not scared, why should I be scared?”

Leng Ruxiang was unhappy and raised his voice considerably, but Qin Wu still caught his shifty and dazed eyes.

Seeing that his provocation had worked, Qin Wu simply smiled and remained silent.

……

Outside Nanyue City.

Leng Ruxiang swallowed hard, looked up at the towering blue tree that seemed to reach into the clouds, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

She asked softly, "Should we wait until tonight?"

"Ah."

Qin Wu smiled, a hint of confidence in his eyes, and said calmly, "They never dreamed that I, Qin Wu, would return at this time. You don't believe it, but do they?"

"It's still too dangerous. If we go in, we might both die inside."

Leng Ruxiang shook his head slightly. Every time he saw this big tree, he felt a sense of unease, which always made him feel awe.

She glanced at Qin Wu and saw that he still had a serious smile on his face. She thought to herself with displeasure, "Do you really think Nanyue City is your home, where you can just go whenever you want?"

If this is discovered, the consequences will be many times more severe than the last time.

Qin Wu had told him what had happened on the way. If it weren't for Lu Acai's mental attack that held back the tree demon, he would have had a chance to escape.

Since Nan Yue City was unprepared the first time, it was easy to sneak in now.

If Qin Wu were to enter Nanyue City from underground again, he would definitely be discovered.

As soon as a hole is dug, there will definitely be some noise, and the tree spirit underground will probably notice it immediately.

"How about we make a deal?"

Qin Wu smiled mysteriously, looking as cunning as a fox.

Leng Ruxiang couldn't help but shiver, and said nervously:

"What? You're not going to send me in as bait, are you? You want me dead?"

Qin Wu smiled and shook his head: "No, I was just telling you that we'll wait for the reinforcements to arrive tonight before going in. Once the reinforcements have drawn the fire and lured the monster away, you can make some noise to attract the strong ones inside. You should be fine following the main force, right?"

Even if the tree demon inside doesn't move, I just won't go to the inner city. Its attack range is limited. I'll hide my presence well and find a place to conceal myself; I'll be perfectly fine.
