Chapter 2142 Heartbeat

"Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"

Xuanwu spoke frankly.

It's already this late in the day, and there are still such cheap things. Anyone who thinks about it will know that it's not that simple.

Xuanwu patrols the nearby waters all day long, how come he didn’t discover this good thing?

"Hey, who said it wasn't!"

Li Guangxiao sighed, "I'm worried about this too. Right now, our entire Huaxu Nation is preparing for war, ready to face the Wuluan Empire in a life-or-death battle. Logically, we shouldn't be distracted."

"But, if that really was an opportunity, wouldn't we have wasted it?"

"Think about it, after returning from the Deep Blue Kingdom, how much have you gained? This is more useful than what you, Xuanwu, would gain by fishing in the sea for a whole year!"

Li Guangxiao looked at the two of them, with a hint of pleading in his tone that he himself didn't even notice.

He now needs two people to support him and say that he is right.

Suzaku said nothing.

She has already used the Sun Fruit, and her strength has indeed been improved after a period of absorption and transformation.

The same is true for Xuanwu.

However, at the moment, this matter is strange and makes people suspicious.

It would be fine at any other time, but it happened to be such a sensitive moment.

"It would be too risky for us to do this on our own. I think we should send a commando team to investigate first."

Suzaku gave his opinion.

In times of war, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable.

If ordinary soldiers were sent there, even if there was any danger there and they were killed, the East China Sea region could afford such a loss.

A smile appeared on Li Guangxiao's face. Zhuque supported his proposal.

"That's fine! But we can't send ordinary soldiers either. They have to be Inhumans at least."

"How about this, Qinglong and Baihu don't have any military duties right now, so let them go!"

Zhuque nodded, and Xuanwu also spread his hands and said, "I have no objection."

Although both of them felt a little strange, they also thought, what if it really was a treasure?

With such worries and hopes, the two decided to wait and see.

So that afternoon, Li Guangxiao, who had been prepared for a long time, asked Qinglong and Xuanwu to lead the team and immediately set off to the uninhabited island in the southern waters.

Li Guangxiao and others were waiting for the outcome of this incident.

Of course, the entire process was kept confidential; even Li Changgong in the East China Sea region was unaware of this.

They waited less than a day before the news came back.

Baihu died in the battle, and the second generation Qinglong was seriously injured and returned to Donghai City with several naval soldiers.

But he took out a larger piece of ore from his backpack and handed it to Li Guangxiao.

The ore was covered with fragments of the Silver Divine Source, and even Li Guangxiao could clearly feel the vigorous life force on it.

"That place is very dangerous! We fell into a trap after entering. Baihu was unfortunately killed in the battle. I dug up this stone with a few soldiers and ran back desperately."

Qinglong said weakly.

"If only I were stronger. If I could reach Ipsilon, I'm sure I could bring back even more ore!"

Li Guangxiao glanced at the ore in his hand, then at Qinglong lying on the stretcher, and said quickly, "Don't worry, I won't forget your contribution! Qinglong, if we want to train a new Ipsilon, you are definitely the first choice!"

Qinglong's face showed an excited expression: "Commander, I, Qinglong, work hard and risk my life, not for my own personal gain, but for the peace of the entire East China Sea region and the future of Huaxu Nation!"

"Okay, okay, you're a good kid. Go get some rest first!"

Li Guangxiao asked people to send Qinglong and others to the medical room for treatment.

Then he called Xuanwu and Suzaku with a happy look on his face.

"Well? I told you, this is a great opportunity! Qinglong was able to escape from there, which means that place isn't that dangerous."

"Even ancient civilizations can disappear over the course of time. This might be the remains of a lost civilization, revealed on the sea surface by the movement of the earth's crust!"

"Xuanwu, Suzaku, what do you think?"

Xuanwu and Suzaku looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts grew even greater.

Although that place was extremely tempting, the doubts in the two's hearts were hard to dispel.

Xuanwu said frankly: "Now is a critical period. What if this is a trick of the Wuluan Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guangxiao said with some disapproval, "The Wuluan Empire's greatest enemy is Chaos and the Shengjing Region! Once they're gone, it won't take much effort to deal with us."

"How could they deliberately set a trap to harm us? You are overthinking it."

Li Guangxiao's analysis is not without reason.

But who is Xuanwu? His true form has transformed into a giant turtle.

Superpowers reflect a person's inner thoughts, so needless to say, Xuanwu's style of doing things is comparable to Zhang Yi's.

"I still feel it's inappropriate to act on my own. This incident makes me smell a conspiracy."

"I think it's best to contact Chaos."

Suzaku nodded, "I think so too."

Seeing the two military leaders say this, Li Guangxiao was actually a little unhappy.

Because he hopes to monopolize this resource and then build the East China Sea region into a super power.

However, he was not a fool who was blinded by greed. After hearing what the two said, he had to analyze the pros and cons.

"But if Chaos finds out, then according to his way of doing things, we'll just have to eat soup."

Li Guangxiao felt a little reluctant.

Suzaku took a deep breath, her tone becoming colder and her voice heavier.

"Li Shuai! Your mind is in turmoil. Have you forgotten your original intention as a soldier?"

A loud shout made Li Guangxiao stand there in a daze.

He met Zhuque's eyes, which had raised eyebrows and a hint of anger, and his face was full of confusion.

"Suzaku, you..."

"Li Shuai, now is the critical moment for the entire Huaxu Nation to stake its fate on! You can't just focus on the East China Sea region and ignore the overall situation!"

"Once we win the war, the benefits that Huaxu Nation will gain are unimaginable. Although Hun Dun is petty and even schemes against his allies, he is a man of principle."

"I think we can't just focus on the petty gains in front of us. The most important thing is to go all out and overcome this difficult time together!"

Li Guangxiao looked up blankly at Zhuque, who had an angry face. He wanted to say something and wanted to stand up and accuse this little girl of daring to speak to him like that.

But those words were resonating in his mind, like waves hitting a cliff, making bursts of roars and shaking his brain.
