In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 124 If you don't dig and I don't dig, how can I bring the strange fire home?

"I'm moving at a snail's pace right now, I haven't even used a fraction of my strength!"

Xiao Ran laughed.

"A hero's worth is not judged by a single moment; who knows if a small fighter today might not become a powerful figure tomorrow?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its head.

"Tch, that's just something you humans say to comfort yourselves."

"If you're born without the resources and talent provided by your family, then you'll have to fight tooth and nail just to survive!"

"Not to mention the others? And what about the future?"

"If you can't even survive right now, what future do you think you have?"

Xiao Ran looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King in surprise and said,

"I didn't expect your insights, Lion King, to be so profound."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King tilted its head back triumphantly.

"That's right!"

"I am a member of the prestigious Amethyst Winged Lion King clan."

"Throughout the endless years, I have witnessed countless monsters and humans."

"But some magical beasts are born of lowly breeds; their very origins dictate that they can never become the noble Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

"Anyone with exceptional talent who isn't even one of my underlings, someone I can easily manipulate?"

Xiao Ran nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"The Lion King's words were very profound!"

Xiao Qing nestled obediently beside Xiao Ran.

Listening to his conversation with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he looked at Xiao Ran with a blank expression, and then at Xiao Yan in the distance behind him.

Then she hugged Xiao Ran's arm tightly.

To avoid being pushed off by the speed of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

……

The Amethyst Winged Lion King flew for almost two more hours.

Suddenly, Xiaoqing pointed to a flat desert.

"Young master! It's there!"

"In my perception, that mysterious and powerful aura from half a year ago lingered there."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran waved his hand at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately swooped down and landed smoothly on the flat desert.

As the Amethyst Winged Lion King landed smoothly, Xiao Ran put his arm around Xiao Qing's slender waist and jumped directly onto the desert.

Stepping on the soft sand, Xiaoqing looked at Xiao Ran and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Then she took out a ten-foot-long carpet from a low-level storage ring that Xiao Ran had given her.

Then lay the carpet on the floor.

He then took out a soft cushion, a small square table, and even tea-making utensils from his storage ring.

Xiao Ran was completely confused.

"Xiaoqing, you didn't use the storage ring I gave you to store all these things, did you?"

Xiao Qing blushed and stuck out her little tongue.

"I am the young master's maid, so naturally I must prepare these things for him."

"Young master, please have a seat for a while. Let me make you a cup of tea."

Xiao Ran also felt a little thirsty.

He smiled and nodded, then sat down on the cushion.

"You've worked hard, Xiaoqing. Sit down and rest too."

"Young Master, you told me not to be polite, but you're the one being polite first?"

Xiaoqing knelt down beside Xiao Ran, pouting unhappily.

Her little hands didn't stop; she skillfully picked up the tea set and got busy.

"Haha, Xiaoqing is right, this round was my fault!"

Xiao Ran shook his head and chuckled.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King, standing to the side, kept swallowing as he looked at the tea on the table.

However, we also know that such a small amount of food is not even enough for it to drink.

He found a small sand dune to shelter him from the wind, closed his eyes, lay down, and basked in the sun.

With his tongue lolling out, he said dejectedly,

"I should have brought Xiao Bing along; it's unbearably hot!"

Soon, Xiaoqing's tea was ready.

Xiao Ran had almost finished both cups of tea.

Xiao Yan flew up to them.

Look at how exhausted he is, panting for breath. Luckily, he's alone.

If it were a machine, it would probably be smoking by now.

Xiao Yan finally managed to catch up after a long and difficult journey.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran, they found him lying on a blanket.

She was still lying on the maid's lap, being fed fresh fruit from time to time.

And the tea still boiling on the table made me so indignant.

What happened?

What happened to our promise to work hard together?

I traveled myself to the bone to get here, but what about Brother Ran?

But surprisingly, she was enjoying the attentive and meticulous service of the maid while waiting for him.

This made Xiao Yan feel extremely heartbroken.

Just as I was dying of thirst, I saw a cup of tea on Xiao Ran's table.

Without even complaining, he rushed over and drank the tea in one gulp.

Xiaoqing was immediately displeased.

"Hey! Aren't you being unreasonable?"

"Even though you're the young master's brother, you can't just take things without permission and snatch the tea!"

Xiao Yan was so exhausted that he couldn't say a word and just waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter who drinks it!"

Then he picked up the large bucket next to him and gulped down his water.

He finally put his head down and let out a long sigh of relief!

"Ah, I'll drink this first, and I'll get Ran two big buckets when we get back."

"you……"

Xiao Ran said with a smile,

"Alright, Xiaoqing, I can't drink much either, so let's just consider it putting good use to myself!"

Xiao Qing then pouted, glared at Xiao Yan, and let out a soft snort.

His smile immediately returned.

"Whatever you say, young master!"

"Here, young master, have another grape!"

Xiao Yan turned his head away, refusing to look.

I was terrified that my blood pressure would spike.

After resting for a while, Xiao Yan looked up at the calm and collected Xiao Ran and asked,

"Ran-ge, I'm rested enough, we can continue our journey!"

Xiao Ran asked, puzzled.

"Where are we headed?"

Xiao Yan was so anxious that he scratched his head.

"No, didn't you say we were going to search in the desert..."

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

Look around in the left and right.

"Could this be the place you were talking about, Brother Ran?"

"What, doesn't it look like it?" Xiao Ran asked with a smile.

Xiao Yan frowned, looked around, and said...

"But there aren't any unusual buildings or caves here, and there aren't any in the sky either!"

"You're not kidding me..."

As soon as the words left his mouth,

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and he stared intently at Xiao Ran, a look of surprise on his face.

He pointed downwards.

"Ran-ge, could it be that the thing you're talking about is... underground?"

Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Yan with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect Emperor Yan to be so clever."

"Hehehe, just so-so, third in mainland China."

Xiao Yan proudly raised his head.

Xiao Ran nodded in satisfaction and said,

"In that case, let's dig!"

"Okay, sure!"

Overjoyed, Xiao Yan nodded subconsciously.

Suddenly, he realized...

She stared at Xiao Ran in astonishment.

"Ran-ge, you're not mistaken, are you? I... I'll dig?"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.

"The stuff is right here underground, and you'll be the one using it in the end! If you don't dig it up, who will?"

"Should I dig, or should the Lion King dig?"

"If you don't dig and I don't dig, how can I bring the strange fire home?"

Xiao Yan's face twitched violently.

"But, but..."
