The cavern was spacious enough and clean and safe. It was just a little cold inside.

Wang Hongen surveyed the area, very satisfied with the inside of the cavern.

The most troublesome things in a primordial forest were the variety of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. Those were unpredictable dangers.

But they would be sufficiently safe if they stayed in the cavern.

The expedition team set up their tents and then split into two teams and got about their tasks.

The girls, led by Xu Yin, headed out to survey the surroundings.

Wang Hongen brought along a bunch of boys and the guard to scout the area where the volcano was.

The bustling cavern immediately became quiet after the expedition team left.

“You were waiting for them?” Yun Qingshang asked.

Since young, Yun Qingshang had undergone training as an assassin. She wasn’t good at interacting with people, but her observation skills were exceptional.

She could see that in the expedition team, only Wang Hongen and Xu Yin were Level Five experts. The rest of the students were either Level One or Level Two. They weren’t worth mentioning.

She could annihilate the entire expedition team alone, much less Gao Xuan with his demonic long sword.

In the wilderness, no one would see what they did.

Yun Qingshang was a little confused. She didn’t know what Gao Xuan was waiting for.

“Don’t be impatient,” Gao Xuan said gently. “If we want to enter society with a legal identity, we can’t act recklessly. This expedition team will be very useful to us, especially Xu Yin.”

He paused for a moment and then reminded her, “Wang Hongen is very dangerous. Don’t underestimate him.”

“What specific plan do you have?” Yun Qingshang felt that she needed to know more to be able to help Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan smiled. “There’s an ancient relic deep within the area where the volcano is. There’s something good hidden inside. Let’s test our luck. We might be able to gain a huge advantage.”

The Heavenly Dragon Eye was hidden deep within the volcano. In his past life, Wang Hongen had taken the risk of obtaining the Heavenly Dragon Eye and had become an unparalleled fighter whose name upset the entire galaxy’s future.

However, Wang Hongen was scheming and extremely despicable. When he saw the ailing situation faced by the humans, he betrayed the human race and dealt them a fatal blow.

The fate of the human race changed because of that.

Gao Xuan had had a few dealings with Wang Hongen in his previous life and had a deep hatred for him.

It was also because they’d had dealings in the past that Gao Xuan knew some things about Wang Hongen’s past.

Wang Hongen had undertaken an expedition to the White Dragon Mountain Range and obtained the Heavenly Dragon Eye. That was what changed the fate of the human race.

However, these matters were exceptionally obscure, and Gao Xuan knew few details about them.

Gao Xuan had been reborn at an opportune time. Thus, he’d brought Yun Qingshang along and arrived at the White Dragon Mountain Range before the expedition team.

Gao Xuan had also explored the area in the past but hadn’t been able to find the ancient relic.

So all he could do now was patiently wait for Wang Hongen.

Anyway, he would definitely be able to obtain the Heavenly Dragon Eye if he kept his eye on Wang Hongen.

Xu Yin and the rest of the group were ordinary people who didn’t know any of this. This matter had nothing to do with them.

He’d obtained all of this information in his past life. Gao Xuan wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly to Yun Qingshang and thus chose not to tell her.

“We’ll just keep an eye on Wang Hongen?” Yun Qingshang asked.

“Just me keeping an eye on him is enough,” Gao Xuan said. “You’re only responsible for protecting me.”

Yun Qingshang didn’t say anything. She had to protect Gao Xuan. Gao Xuan’s life was more important than her own. However, she didn’t want to tell Gao Xuan this, and there was no need for her to say it anyway.

The sky had turned dark. Wang Hongen brought a bunch of people back to the cavern.

Xu Yin had brought the girls back a long time ago and had already eaten dinner with Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang. They’d had a simple fare, but everyone was in rather high spirits.

At this moment, a group of people was gathered around Gao Xuan and chatting.

Xu Yin saw the fatigue on Wang Hongen’s face. She felt a little embarrassed. “Professor Wang, you guys should eat soon. We saved some food for you.”

Wang Hongen wasn’t in the mood to eat, but the bunch of boys was starved. Their eyes widened when they heard that there was food.

“You guys eat first.”
