Chapter 431 – Together In Life And Death
“Fatty, hold on.” As Lan Xuanyu spoke, he suddenly pressed down on Qian Lei. Qian Lei’s legs were immediately stuffed into the cave and pulled by the people below.
He wrapped his arms around Lan Xuanyu’s waist. “Boss!”
Down below, Tang Yuge was already digging frantically, and Qian Lei’s body was being pulled down bit by bit as the hole got bigger. He held onto Lan Xuanyu’s arm with all his might, and his golden hair curled up as blood kept appearing. But he still refused to let go.
Finally, his plump body was gradually pulled into the cave, but the rainbow-colored light on Lan Xuanyu’s body began to dim.
A hint of helplessness appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face. He knew that no matter what, he wouldn’t be able to enter the cave in time. When his Dragon God Transformation ended, he would be at his weakest. How could he resist the power of the metal storm?
Suddenly, a delicate shout came from the cave, “Together in life and death.”
Just as Qian Lei’s fat body was about to be completely pulled into the cave, his fat body was suddenly pushed out. The violent wind immediately stirred up and wreaked havoc. It was only by relying on Lan Xuanyu’s Heavenly Splitting Abyss Halberd that he was not swept away.
“What are you guys doing?” Lan Xuanyu shouted in shock and anger.
At the same time, lightning suddenly burst out of the cave like a geyser. That blinding lightning exploded in the air and turned into a loud rumble, creating a hole in the wind.
Bing Tianliang actually jumped out of the cave as well. Following that, a blade of light bloomed once again. Just like before, eight blades of light swept out and brazenly created a gap in the violent wind.
A dragon roar resounded, and a white figure quickly circled around. In an instant, a spear light flickered, and together with the blade of light, it forcefully dispersed the violent wind.
Yes, they had come out, they actually all came out just to save their captain.
Lan Xuanyu immediately landed from the ground after the violent wind was temporarily expelled. How could he not understand his teammates’ intentions? Taking advantage of the Dragon God Transformation’s final moments, he suddenly unleashed his strength and the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd in his hand dug out a large rock from the ground as if it was tofu and threw it into the air.
A rain of arrows shot out, and every arrow exploded in the air like a meteorite. The blade and spear of light were only able to disperse the violent gales for less than a second, but the appearance of this rain of arrows continued their momentum.
Fireballs had also appeared at the same time as the rain of arrows. A glaring sun had risen into the sky. With his Martial Soul leaving his body, Lin Donghui clenched his teeth. His first, second, third, and fourth soul rings all released a dazzling brilliance. The fireballs were fired in quick-succession into the sky and exploded continuously, blocking the metal storm.
Two figures appeared hand in hand, and a layer of dazzling blue light suddenly blossomed from their bodies. Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin raised their heads to look at the sky at the same time. At this moment, the temperature around them suddenly dropped drastically. Following that, a gigantic ice and snow whirlwind appeared amids the metal tornado, spiraling crazily and wreaking havoc, turning into a gigantic tornado that blossomed outward. At this very moment, all of them were in the middle of this tornado.
The Dragon God Transformation finally came to an end, and the Sacred Heavenly Splitting Abyss Halberd in Lan Xuanyu’s hand turned back into a ring.
Someone kicked his butt and Lan Xuanyu fell straight down the cave.
Following that, the others leaped into the cave one after another. When they all entered the cave, the ice and snow storm suddenly dissipated, leaving only a raging metal storm above the ground.
Lan Xuanyu leaned against the cramped wall. It was pitch-black around him and all he could hear was everyone gasping for breath. There wasn’t a spot on his body that didn’t hurt, but his mouth was wide open. He was laughing silently.
That’s right, at the last moment when he was about to give up, his teammates didn’t give up on him. Everyone risked being swept away at any time and without the protection of his Blue Silver Grass, they rushed out of the cave and used their strongest attacks to buy time for him.
They succeeded. Lan Xuanyu was saved too. He, who had stayed behind to ensure everyone’s safety, was saved by his companions.
“You really scared your fatty to death.” Qian Lei was panting heavily, but his voice was filled with joy.
“It was quite enjoyable, wasn’t it?” Lan Mengqin chuckled. Her laughter was a little silly at the moment, but perhaps because it was too contagious, everyone started laughing.
Tang Yuge, who was digging with all her might, was already drenched in sweat, but she was also smiling. She suddenly felt very, very warm. She also realized that this team of first years was different, different from the third years she was in.
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh. Was the process important? It wasn’t important anymore. What was important was that not a single one of them was missing, not a single one.
Only by going through life and death together could they be called fellow soldiers. At this moment, they were no longer classmates but true partners.
After a long while, everyone regained their senses and Lan Xuanyu said, “Huihui, share the spirit fruits with everyone for recovery.”
“En.” Yuanen Huihui agreed and quickly distributed spirit fruits to everyone.
“Everyone, put on your protective shields. We can’t waste any more oxygen. We must ensure that we can return,” Lan Xuanyu said.
Everyone put on their uniforms and the oxygen system in their uniforms was activated. With the supply of oxygen, everyone felt much better.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Let’s take a break first. Yuge, how’s the situation here? Are there any rare metal ores?”
Tang Yuge said, “Not here. How about this, you guys rest here first and I’ll use my Five Elements Escape Technique to look for some. After we find them, we’ll specially dig a tunnel and crawl over. This is the most efficient way.” She didn’t have to dig with her Five Elements Escape Technique and could search much faster underground.
“Alright, I hope it’s not too far away,” Lan Xuanyu said.
Tang Yuge smiled. “Actually, there are some rare metals in the rocks here, although in very small quantities. If it was just for completing the mission, there should be enough to refine. But we’ve taken such a big risk to come here, everyone would be somewhat unwilling to go back now right.”
“Of course not, I’m hurting so much now. We must earn a big sum to be worthy of our efforts,” Qian Lei added.
He and Lan Xuanyu persevered until the end and both of them had the most injuries. After eating a spirit fruit, their bodies were recovering, but the pain was still there.
Tang Yuge released her Five Elements Escape Technique to explore while the others were sitting in the cave to rest. Dong Qianqiu sat next to Lan Xuanyu and used her helmet to open a private communication channel. “Does it hurt?”
Lan Xuanyu replied, “It’s alright. It doesn’t hurt anymore. I have strong recovery abilities, don’t worry.”
Dong Qianqiu said, “It’s not that good to be the team leader. I was really scared to death just now and really thought that you wouldn’t be coming back. At that moment, I wanted to go out and help you but I couldn’t. Everyone was squeezed together.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Who was the one who suggested going out to save me just now? It’s really not easy to be so decisive at such timing. I think I even heard someone calling out ‘together in life and death’. This decisiveness is amazing! Otherwise, no one would even know how to save me even if they wanted to.”
Dong Qianqiu: “Then you should thank that person properly.”
“En, we have to thank him properly. Who is it?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.
Dong Qianqiu: “Tell me first, how do you want to thank me?”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “I don’t know either. By giving you a bigger share of the spoils ?”
“Who cares about your spoils ?” Dong Qianqiu snapped.
