Qin Hai searched around, and finally chased after the smell of blood in the southeast.
Not long after, there were sounds coming from the front. Qin Hai quietly approached with light footsteps.
The man in the middle was skinny and had a long spear by his side. The spear shaft was still wet with blood. He should be the expert that killed Lei Zhen.
Since this person was able to kill Lei Zhen with a single shot, he must be a Human King Stage expert. However, he didn"t appear in the first round of the arena battle. It seemed like Shangguan Yun was concealing his true strength.
Of the remaining two people, one used a saber and the other a sword. The three of them were talking and laughing, seemingly very excited.
After cleaning the blood on their bodies, one of them took out a bag and poured out three red crystals.
These three pieces of crystal were all the size of a fist. They were sparkling and translucent, but their entire bodies were fiery red in color. They looked very pretty; they were exactly like flame crystals.
"Lei Zhen and the others sure are lucky. They found three Flame Crystals the moment they entered. However, all of them have been taken advantage of by us now. Now, we can hand it over."
"That"s right, Young Master Yun once said that it is very difficult to find Flame Crystals in this secret plane. If one"s luck is bad, one might not even be able to find a single piece within a few days. "Now that we have three pieces, even if we can"t win against the rest of the people, we"ll still be close. When that happens, Young Master Yun can"t say that we didn"t do our best."
In the end, the person using the spear stood up and said, "If all of you only want to deal with Young Master Yun, then take these three pieces of Flame Crystals and leave."
The other two looked at each other, and the one on the left asked, "Boss, are you still looking for me? The rest of the fellows are no pushovers. If we end up inside, that would be a huge loss! "
The man with the gun said, "The so-called "wealth comes from the peril". If we help Young Master Yun become the Shangguan Family"s Patriarch, we will definitely receive more."
The other person nodded, "That"s right, Young Master Yun is generous. If he becomes the Shangguan Family"s Patriarch, then we"ll have whatever we want in the future. We won"t need to live a life of debauchery like before."
After some discussion, the three of them came to an agreement and continued to walk forward, hoping to collect more Flame Crystals.
Seeing that the three of them were about to go to the waterfall as well, Qin Hai did not disturb them. Instead, he silently followed behind them.
The waterfall was located on top of a cliff, and a hundred-meter-tall waterfall descended from the sky like a stream. The sound of water rumbling was extremely shocking.
At the bottom of the waterfall, there was a deep pool. It was said that this deep pool was where the flame crystals originated from. However, the water of the waterfall was very fast, and the bottom of the pool was too deep to be seen.
However, there would occasionally be some Flame Crystals washed out by the rapid flowing water. Thus, in most cases, the best way to obtain Flame Crystals was to search for them near the deep pond or to search for them along the stream.
After Qin Hai and the other three people arrived near the waterfall, they immediately found a place to hide. Those three people were obviously good at ambushing, and they quickly found the best place to hide near the deep pool.
Not long after, another person came.
This time, there were two people from Shangguan Jianyun"s team. After the two of them appeared near the waterfall, they vigilantly looked around. After confirming that there was no danger, they approached the deep lake and began to carefully search the surroundings of the lake.
The two of them quickly found something. They each found two Flame Crystals in the shallow water area, which made the two of them extremely happy.
However, just as they were getting excited, an arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness, accurately hitting one of them in the chest. The man fell to the ground. The one who was left turned pale with fright and quickly fled to the other side.
However, there were also people lying in ambush on this side. Before he could escape, a long spear suddenly shot out like lightning from behind a cliff and instantly pierced through his throat.
In just an instant, the two who were still alive just a moment ago had already died. The two Flame Crystals they found also fell into someone else"s hands.
The three men hidden in the shadows quickly came out and dragged the two corpses to the side to hide. They were prepared to continue ambushing the remaining people.
Not long after, another person came looking for him.
This time, only one person came. Like the other two, this person carefully observed the area for a moment after he came. After confirming that there was no danger, he began to search the area near the pool for Flame Crystals.
This person"s luck was not bad. Even though he had spent a lot of time, he was still able to find a piece of Flame Crystal in a pebble.
However, just as he was about to leave with the Flame Crystal, another bolt suddenly shot out from the darkness …
