87: Chapter 87: How Hot! Danger Arrives, Blocked at the Exit

Hearing this, Captain Qin Hao couldn't help but admire Su Nian's boldness; she had certainly grown more arrogant. If only his tongue were longer, he would have shown her what he was capable of with a spiral tongue technique.

“Niannian, don't do anything foolish,” Captain Qin Hao advised.

At that moment, Captain Qin Hao noticed that his neck was already soaking wet.

Could it be that Su Datui actually... wet herself?

Startled, he blurted out, “Niannian, you didn't really pee, did you?”

However, he hadn't lowered his voice, and it was loud enough for the other girls to hear.

The girls all looked over, their faces filled with confusion. Su Nian peed on Captain Qin Hao? That was absolutely outrageous.

“What?”

Xu Wanqing's eyes widened in disbelief as she found herself in the middle of another scandalous situation.

She was accumulating more and more secrets. She had been there when Bai Xueer and the others said those wild things, and now she was present for Su Nian's misdeed.

Su Nian was startled and jumped, exclaiming, “Brother Captain Qin Hao, I did not! Why are you slandering my innocence!”

“If you keep slandering me, I’m going to cry, waah.”

She really hadn't peed; it was just that her heart was racing, and she had secreted some 'sweat'.

Captain Qin Hao felt that it probably wasn't urine, as there was only a small amount. He breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was a false alarm.

Captain Qin Hao then said gently, “That's good then. I must have been mistaken. Let's continue collecting the spiritual milk.”

Su Nian continued collecting the spiritual milk, still pouting.

They used small knives to dig into the cores of the stalactites. Immediately, white spiritual milk slowly flowed out and was collected into jade bottles.

The process went very smoothly, and they eventually finished collecting from the twenty to thirty stalactites.

By the end, Captain Qin Hao felt his neck was quite warm, almost making him think Su Nian had a fever.

Afterward, they all climbed down.

Zhao Zihan cried out, “Instructor, you almost wore me out. If it weren't for the constitution strengthening fluid, I wouldn't have been able to carry you.”

Rao Shuqing's face darkened as she said, “Zihan, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all.”

Captain Qin Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He remembered that Zhao Zihan's were larger than Rao Shuqing's, making her even heavier than the Instructor.

The other girls all looked at Captain Qin Hao and Su Nian with meaningful smiles, curious to know if Su Nian had actually peed earlier.

Feeling their gazes, Su Nian was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

She smiled bitterly and said, “I really didn't. It's all the Captain's fault for wrongly accusing me!”

Captain Qin Hao also explained, “Yes, I was mistaken.”

Despite their explanations, the others remained skeptical, though they didn't press the matter further.

Xu Wanqing made a mental note of it, eager to go back and gossip with the others...

Zhao Zihan also had a mischievous thought. She remembered how Brother Captain Qin Hao had teased her at the swimming pool and wanted to get revenge by splashing him in the face later.

Captain Qin Hao pushed aside his chaotic thoughts and collected the spiritual milk for safekeeping.

[Obtained ten-thousand-year stalactite milk × 36]

Each stalactite produced only one small bottle of this spiritual milk, making it extremely precious and rare.

He then said, “Let's go. This was a great harvest. On to the next stop!”

...

Meanwhile.

A group of uninvited guests appeared outside the waterfall.

The newcomers looked at the dead monster in the small pool, lost in thought.

A large man said in a deep voice, “Wherever a monster guards, there must be treasure. I didn't expect someone to beat us to it.”

“Search the area. If we encounter those who got here first, we’ll just rob them.”

After he spoke, the other large men nodded in agreement.

Then, they began to investigate the tracks.

The footprints ended abruptly, but clues on the grass suggested that those who had arrived first hadn't left.

Eventually, their eyes settled on a large rock; the tracks disappeared right there.

The large men turned their sharp gazes toward the waterfall.

They were extremely tall and exuded a massive sense of pressure.

One of the large men said raspily, “The ones who got here first might be inside.”

...

Inside the cave, Captain Qin Hao felt uneasy. Suddenly, his Danger Perception alerted him.

[Powerful creatures are blocking the exit. Going out recklessly may be dangerous.]

As soon as the prompt appeared, Captain Qin Hao made a shushing gesture and stopped in his tracks.

Rao Shuqing and the others were confused but stopped as well.

Captain Qin Hao beckoned them to the side and whispered, “Danger is coming. There are powerful creatures blocking the exit. Stay still, I'll go scout ahead!”

Su Nian and the others nodded, their hearts pounding.

They were currently inside a cave; if they were cornered, they would be at a natural disadvantage. They couldn't afford to act rashly.

Captain Qin Hao slowly moved toward the exit, his steps light and silent.

He peered around a corner.

[They come from a civilization known as the Luoman Stars. They possess tall statures and great strength, described as having Innate Divine Power. They believe in the supremacy of strength and are born with Level 1 Intermediate strength.]

[Two of them possess Level 1 Peak strength, while the other four have Level 1 High-tier strength. With their Innate Divine Power, they have few rivals in the same rank.]

Captain Qin Hao's eyes widened as he read the description from the True Sight Eye. Aliens had already arrived here, and they were incredibly powerful.

With their Innate Divine Power, he figured those at Level 1 Peak could likely fight a Level 2 Elite Monster. They were truly overpowered.

He slowly retreated and quickly informed the girls of what he had discovered.

Rao Shuqing and the others were shocked. Four Level 1 High-tier and two Level 1 Peak enemies with Innate Divine Power—aside from Captain Qin Hao, none of them were a match.

Even Leng Shi might not be able to win.

“How is it possible for such powerful creatures to exist...”

Liliya, the white-haired girl who had grown close to them, spoke up. She mocked herself, “Damn, we're both aliens, so why are we Gemini Star so weak...”
