Chapter 27
[The purification crystal mine ahead is a trap set by an advanced intelligent pollutant species, please leave the group as soon as possible, host p>
The system issued a warning.
Shen Tang’s face suddenly changed, and she immediately went to find Shen Li and the others, “I’m afraid there’s an ambush ahead. We shouldn’t go this way; let’s take another route p>
“Ambush? How do you know?” Shen Li looked at her meaningfully.
Shen Tang spoke loudly on purpose, allowing all the beastmen present to hear.
She must change the route for the troop as much as possible.
She didn’t want to follow this group of beastmen to their deaths!
“Shen Tang, are you crazy? It’s a joyful time, don’t spread chaos and disturb everyone!” Shi Yin walked out from the crowd, looking at her with disdain and mockery.
Shen Tang didn’t bother to argue with Shi Yin, and stated firmly, “I’m telling the truth, there’s really danger ahead. How could a large-scale purification crystal mine possibly appear in an A-level pollution area? Clearly, this is a trap set by the pollutant species! Just waiting for us to walk right into it p>
Upon hearing her statement, the crowd started to doubt, even though purification crystal mines often appeared in pollution areas, it could indeed be a trap.
A brown-haired beaver beastman looked at Shi Yin hesitantly, “Is your spiritual power detection wrong? Is there really a crystal mine ahead, and not a trap set by mutant species p>
Shi Yin was furious that someone doubted her, pointing at the nose of the beaver beastman and yelled, “I’m B-level spiritual power, don’t you believe me? Instead, you trust a C-level spiritual power waste, are you out of your mind p>
Despite B and C-level spiritual powers only appearing to have a one-level difference, the gap was insurmountable.
Female C-level and below spiritual powers could only be used for comfort.
But B-level spiritual power could detect the environment!
That was Shi Yin’s source of arrogance.
However, detecting the environment consumed a large amount of spiritual power. Shi Yin could only perform one spiritual power detection within three days. Originally, she was merely detecting if there were any pollutant species ambushing nearby, but she unexpectedly detected a purification crystal mine five kilometers away.
If her spiritual power detection was correct, she would become the hero of the shelter.
But this waste, Shen Tang, dared to challenge her authority!
Shi Yin bit her silver teeth tightly, afraid to act rashly in front of so many people, but she raised her chin arrogantly and mocked coldly, “Shen Tang, with your measly C-level spiritual power, incapable of environmental detection, what gives you the right to question my word p>
Shen Tang frowned and replied lightly, “Instinct p>
“Are you joking? Based on your ridiculous instinct, you want us to give up the crystal mine?” Shi Yin sneered contemptuously, nearly laughing out loud.
The crowd also wore ugly expressions, was this fatty playing tricks on them?
The beastmen in the city have heard of Shen Tang’s reckless and absurd behavior, and she was adding trouble at such a critical time, making them increasingly dislike her.
Shen Li and the others frowned too, standing within the crowd, looking at Shen Tang coldly, clearly not trusting her.
Shen Tang sighed internally, her expression turning somber, “What I’m saying is true, anyone who doesn’t want to die should follow me on another path p>
The crowd saw that she didn’t seem to be joking, and they looked at one another, unsure whom to trust.
This fatty, even if stupid, wouldn’t be foolish enough to risk her own life just to harm others, right?
Could it be… that there’s really danger ahead?
Purification crystal mines were precious and rare, yet they easily discovered it, this seemed too effortless indeed.
Everyone knows the saying: there’s no free lunch, any normal adult understands that.
Shi Yin’s beast husband, White Lizard, pondered a moment and gently persuaded, “Yinyin, the sudden appearance of a crystal mine ahead is indeed unusual. Maybe we shouldn’t take this crystal mine, our mission this time is to search for the missing team. No matter what’s ahead, it isn’t part of our plan p>
Shi Yin didn’t expect her beloved beast husband, White Lizard, to question her decision, and she became even more enraged.
The more the situation went like this, the more she wanted to prove herself!
Being a female with B-level spiritual power, how could she lose to the waste, ugly Shen Tang?
Normally, Shi Yin’s clique would immediately support her, mocking Shen Tang together and making her lose face and become a laughing stock.
But this time, Xiong Rong and Hu Hua hesitated and didn’t take Shi Yin’s side.
Shi Yin was even more furious internally, these disloyal wenches shouldn’t dream of getting any benefits from her in the future!
“Anyone trusting this waste can go with her; when we obtain the crystal mine, don’t expect a single piece!” Shi Yin glared at Shen Tang with a dark face, aggressively saying, “Waste, if you want to leave, hurry up and leave, stop being a nuisance here p>
“I trust Miss Shi Yin; she’s mighty with her B-level spiritual power and definitely wouldn’t make a mistake p>
“If we manage to dig out the purification crystal mine, it would be like getting rich overnight; I won’t have to worry about my life for the rest of my days p>
“Pollution areas are treacherous by nature, who knows, maybe we could lose our lives in the next second; why not take a chance p>
Whether for interests or trust, the beastmen mostly sided with Shi Yin and the City Lord.
Shen Tang knew her statements lacked credibility, she pressed her lips together, clenched her fists, and looked at Shen Li hesitantly.
Shen Li frowned, hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the group to stand beside her, “I’ll take another route with you p>
Shen Tang was surprised, “You believe what I said p>
Shen Li shook his head and spoke lightly, “Don’t believe p>
To him, the crystal mine wasn’t alluring; the only thing he cared about was which route carried less risk.
High returns often imply high risks.
Moreover, Shen Tang leaving the group meant a dead end, he couldn’t just watch her walk to her death.
Shi Yin looked at Shen Li in shock, then to her further disbelief, Xiao Jin also stepped out from the crowd and stood behind Shen Tang lazily, “Whatever, fewer people make it quieter p>
Shen Tang was also surprised, while not shocked that Shen Li stepped forward given his affinity, Xiao Jin greatly disliked her!
But recalling the original work, his nature was rebellious, the more contrary the circumstances, the more he wanted to act.
Realizing this, Shen Tang didn’t overthink.
Xue Yinzhou’s gaze fell on Shen Tang, his silver-purple eyes flickered with an inexplicable look, he said nothing, but leisurely walked behind her to indicate his position.
Jia Lan furrowed his handsome brows, his sea-blue eyes filled with confusion and anger—are these three guys insane?
This fatty went crazy and was courting death, why were they joining the chaos?
However, he disdainfully glanced at the remaining remnants of the troop and thought it safer to follow Xiao Jin than with the others.
Thinking this way, Jia Lan also walked behind Shen Tang with a displeased expression.
The four men had their different thoughts, Shen Tang didn’t care what they were thinking, as long as her objective was achieved.
As for everyone else, she put it out there, leaving it to fate, depending on their own choice.
“Does anyone else want to join us p>
