I have an eye of truth

It took quite a while, but the group finally fought their way out of the swarm of bugs.

Although the stone beetles were extremely violent, the ability users used some method to control them.

However, without the control and guidance of the ability users, not all of these stone beetles would chase after them.

So the number of stone beetles dwindled, and as long as they took care of some, they could leave smoothly.

When they reached the outskirts of Thousand Stone Ridge, there were no more stone beetles around.

"Alright, it's quiet here. Although I don't know what method they used, we can't go in today. Li Shuang, is there enough Melting Stone Pill solution?" Zi Qing asked Li Shuang.

Li Shuang checked and then shook his head, saying, "According to calculations, it's not enough, but it's enough for us to digest for a few days. After using these Melting Stone Pills, it will take at least three days to fully digest them."

"Alright, we'll set up camp here for three days. After three days, we'll re-enter Thousand Stone Ridge."

It wasn't easy to come here once, and if they didn't get everything they needed in one go, it would really be a waste of opportunity.

The others didn't object, so everyone set up camp there.

"Next, we need to tell Flame City about Wang Hui's matter, so that they can at least be prepared," Ling Ling suddenly suggested.

"Does anyone have a recording?" Zi Qing looked around.

Everyone shook their heads. After all, this wasn't a mission, so there was no need to record anything.

This place wasn't managed by the military either, so everyone wasn't required to bring recorders. So along the way, no one recorded what happened, which meant that everyone had no evidence at all.

"There's no way, we have no evidence to prove that guy has a problem. Given that guy's relationship with the Flame City Lord, no one would believe us even if we said something," He Yingxue spread her hands.

"We investigated before, Wang Hui is the Flame City Lord's nephew, and he has a powerful family behind him, the number one family in the entire city. Without evidence, we can't openly deal with such a person."

Wang Yang scratched his head, "Then why would that guy appear here? Did someone expose our destination?"

After thinking about it, Zi Qing shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be, after all, we decided on this destination temporarily, and we didn't tell anyone beforehand. Unless we told someone ourselves."

Everyone looked around to make sure no one had told anyone else.

"Then it can only be a coincidence. This place is also a pretty good place for someone who has been kicked out to develop. Perhaps, the Flame City Lord deliberately let him come to this place to develop beforehand."

"What's the point of saying so much? We can just ask about it when we get back. With our contributions, we can investigate this kind of thing," He Yingxue said directly.

Zi Qing also shut her mouth. Having not been in the military all this time, she really wasn't familiar with these things.

Wang Yang thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, we should still remind them. Although others may not believe us, it's still okay to let them be prepared. I'll just tell Red Beard."

"That guy, yeah, he's not an idiot," Zi Qing nodded.

Could someone who could sit in the position of Deputy City Lord be an idiot? Wang Yang rolled his eyes. Then he contacted Red Beard and told him about this matter.

Hearing this, Red Beard frowned and said, "I know, although there is no evidence, I will be prepared. If that guy secretly comes back, there may really be a problem."

However, Red Beard didn't say anything for certain. After all, there was hatred between these people. Who knew what the specific situation was? Even if Wang Hui's character wasn't great, Red Beard didn't really believe that that guy would betray humanity.

So, the matter came to an end here.

A group of people camped here, and everyone was resting, only Li Shuang was busy.

The necessary medicines had already been brought, and after a series of preparations, the Melting Stone Pill potion appeared in front of them. Li Shuang held a bottle in his hand, which contained a gray-black liquid that was indistinguishable.

"This is the Melting Stone Pill potion? It looks so ugly, can this really be used?"

"Of course it can be used, don't you believe in my level? How could such a simple potion have problems? Besides, haven't I already drunk it myself?" Recalling the taste, Li Shuang felt nauseous.

In the future, he must study how to make the potion taste better.

Su Xiaoke and Su Xiaoyu looked at the potion in their hands, still very unwilling. But in the end, under the encouraging gazes of everyone, or rather, under Zi Qing's slightly threatening gaze, they finally succumbed.

Pinching their noses, they drank the potion in one gulp, and then retched on the side.

"It seems that the taste is really not good, you alchemist is too low-level," Ling Ling unceremoniously mocked.

"As long as the potion is effective, who cares what it tastes like," Li Shuang still stubbornly said.

For the next three days, everyone saw the effect of the Melting Stone Pill. This potion was indeed a panacea for Apprentice-level ability users, and both mental power and physical strength were constantly improving.

As long as they exercised, they could improve their strength, and everyone except Su Xiaoyu had significant improvement.

There was no way. Su Xiaoyu was a summoner, and she couldn't use elementary spells herself until she reached the official level. The summoning ability that Su Xiaoyu used before was not a summoning spell, but a magic scroll.

So no matter how much her mental power improved, there was no way to increase the power of this scroll.

At most, her combat endurance had improved a little, and that was all.

However, Su Xiaoke's combat power improved very quickly, especially Li Shuang, this guy made potions faster and the configuration was more accurate. It was a pity that he still had no substantial change without reaching the elementary level.

Because their control ability had already reached the standard, there would be no bad defects even if they used the potion.

The medicinal effect of the Melting Stone Pill was generally very mild, and there would be no problems as long as it was not forced. After three days, the potion's effect was absorbed by the three people, and their strength was considered good among the Apprentice level.

"One more time, this time collect enough potion, and then it will be time for you to find a way to break through. When everyone has broken through, we will go to the twentieth floor to take a look," Zi Qing announced loudly.

"The twentieth floor? Isn't that too fast? Although they are all at the second stage, there are many advanced monsters on the twentieth floor," He Yingxue said worriedly, and the others also didn't recommend progressing so quickly.
