Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 27 The Passage! Xu Guang and the others were overjoyed.

After wandering around Stone Desert City alone, Hun Cang randomly found a restaurant that looked decent and solved his hunger problem.

He then took a short nap, and as the sun was about to set, he went to take a look at the southeastern part of Stone Desert City.

Xu Guang acted quickly, mainly because he dared not disregard Hun Cang's instructions. After a brief discussion with Xiao Ding and the others, he immediately began his operation.

Unlike other places with trees and flowers, the desert offers no cover, making it extremely easy to find things.

Given their abilities, Xu Guang thought that the great man wouldn't bother asking everyone to search in the sky, so the only place they could search was underground.

So, a group of people braved the scorching sun and began digging with great enthusiasm.

As dusk fell and the heat of the desert gradually dissipated, the group rested briefly and enjoyed dinner.

Xiao Li plopped down next to Xiao Ding, his eyes fixed curiously on the dug-in sand: "Big brother, what kind of treasure do you think that is?"

Xiao Ding, who was eating, paused, glanced at his younger brother, and said sternly, "Stop being curious, just focus on your work."

They're really quite cautious; they won't even discuss it. Xiao Li marveled at his elder brother's prudence.

Then, he looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "Big brother, have you forgotten the big brother I've sworn brother to? If it really is a treasure, we can keep it a secret and give it to him if we have the chance."

Xiao Ding was taken aback, his eyes showing surprise, and a hint of hesitation appeared between his brows.

He didn't speak after that, but his brows furrowed, as if he had been thinking.

After a brief rest, the excavation work continued.

Torches and moonstones, which can be seen everywhere on the sand dunes, serve as lighting tools for everyone.

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

Xu Guang stood on a sand dune, glanced at the map, then at the scene, his brows furrowed.

Using the flame marker on the map, he had already arranged for people to expand the excavation area three times, and they had dug down nearly fifty meters, but they still hadn't found anything.

Could it be that the adults made a mistake? A guess popped into his mind.

"ah!!"

Just then, a piercing scream echoed through the night sky. Xu Guang looked in the direction of the sound and saw his figure moving quickly across the sand.

When he arrived at the location, he discovered that someone had accidentally dug a tunnel and fallen through it.

The passage... wait!!

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

Looking up, I saw that the other people had similar expressions on their faces.

Just then, a voice came from above:

"Great, much faster than I expected!"

Everyone looked up and discovered that a figure had quietly appeared in mid-air at some point.

"My lord!" Xu Guang breathed a sigh of relief and his face lit up with joy when he heard that the mission had been completed ahead of schedule.

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

Xu Guang instinctively caught it, but before he could ask any questions, he heard Hun Cang's voice: "The cloth bag contains medicinal powder. Mix it with water and drink it. For those below the Great Dou Master level, it can increase their cultivation speed by more than ten times. The bottle contains a Breakthrough Pill, which can help you break through a small realm directly."

The powder was a system reward given to Xiao Yan by Hun Cang when he gave him some small items. It wasn't of much use to him, but he took it out as a reward now.

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

Xu Guangneng completed the task so quickly, so it's only right to give him a small reward.

Hun Cang didn't want people talking about him behind his back, saying he was stingy.

"Thank you, sir."

Xu Guang gripped the pill tightly, his face beaming with undisguised joy. Xiao Ding and the others, along with everyone else, heard Hun Cang's words and expressed their gratitude.

That big bag of powder, if mixed with water, would definitely be enough for so many of them to get a taste.

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

"Sir, is there anything else you need?" Having received a reward, Xu Guang immediately became proactive.

Hun Cang waved his hand: "No need, you should leave first. What happens next is not for you to interfere with."

The main reason for asking them to excavate was to shorten the time required.

Otherwise, even with his Douhuang strength, it would take him a lot of time and effort to search this area below the desert.

Hun Cang is rather lazy; he'd rather find someone else to solve the problem than take matters into his own hands.

The group gradually left.

In the crowd, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li kept turning back, their eyes filled with reluctance.

"It's a pity, I didn't expect this lord to be watching him the whole time." Xiao Li's tone was full of regret.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Xiao Ding put his arm around his brother's shoulder: "It's better than getting the stuff, hiding it, and then having the adults find out."

At that time, it would have been a dead end!

He didn't say it aloud, but he knew his younger brother understood.

After leaving the sandpit, the group did not leave but stood on the sand dunes watching curiously.

What kind of treasure could possibly pique the interest of such a powerful person?

Ignoring those gazes, Hun Cang's body emitted a large amount of black mist, which transformed into snake-like shapes and burrowed into the passage.

After a good ten minutes, Hun Cang smiled and said, "Found it!"

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

A rumbling sound echoed through the empty night, and sand slid down like liquid, revealing a passage from which a blinding red light emanated, accompanied by an intensely hot aura.

"There's magma below?!" Xu Guang was stunned when he saw this.

It's normal for there to be magma underground, but how deep have they dug? It's still a world of difference from the actual underground.

Hun Cang covered the surface with a layer of battle aura and his body shot in like a cannonball. The huge impact caused the fiery red magma to splash dozens of meters high.

"What terrifying strength! It can even ignore the high temperature of magma!" Xiao Ding swallowed hard, watching the rapidly falling magma.

If it were to fall on me, I would definitely be melted instantly!

Time passed slowly, and no one wanted to leave. Their curiosity, which appeared with the lava, not only did not dissipate but became even stronger.

As dawn broke on the distant horizon, the morning light covered the sand.

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

Last night, Xu Guang and the others had nothing to do, so they brought a large vat of water and tried soaking the medicinal powder provided by Hun Cang.

Surprisingly, just one spoonful was enough to produce effects lasting nearly seven days.

Everyone present received a dose of the medicine, and only one-third of the medicine packet had been used.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were extremely shocked. Twenty-one days of cultivation speed was equivalent to saving two hundred days of cultivation time.

Many people have made breakthroughs tonight.

Xu Guang exhaled a long breath and slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with surprise. He had broken through to the fifth level of the Great Dou Master.

"That's enough to crush Rob. That bastard, if he dares to provoke me again, I'll definitely teach him a lesson." A cold glint flashed in Xu Guang's eyes.

Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, and everyone stood up. Their hearts pounded as fast as the sand on the ground.
