Qu Hongluan frowned slightly. Zhou Duo's words seemed a bit too profound. If someone who was not familiar with him asked this question, it might cause a conflict.
Qu Hongluan naturally wouldn't tell the truth, she just said casually: "I have gained a lot, but it's definitely not as much as Senior Brother Zhou."
Zhou Duo waved his hands and said modestly: "No, no, I just had good luck and came across an ancient cave and gained a little."
Zhou Duo's tone seemed humble, but in fact he was showing off. However, he did not mention a single word about what opportunities and benefits he had gained from the ancient cave.
Qu Hongluan would not ask in detail. What opportunities and benefits Zhou Duo had had had nothing to do with her.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Duo said to Qu Hongluan: "Junior Sister Qu, this Qi Tian Secret Realm is full of dangers. Since we have met, it must be fate. Why don't we act together?"
When Qu Hongluan saw that Zhou Duo actually made such a request, she couldn't help but ponder for a moment, then turned her gaze to Chen Lei.
Chen Lei waved his hand and said, "I don't care. You don't have to consider my opinion."
Seeing Chen Lei say this, Qu Hongluan nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Zhou, you can join us. However, we have to make it clear that you must abide by the rules for the distribution of some treasures between us. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face when the time comes."
Zhou Duo laughed and said, "Junior sister, this is natural. I will definitely accept the rules you set unconditionally."
When Qu Hongluan heard Zhou Duo say this, she nodded and agreed to let him join their small group.
In fact, Qu Hongluan naturally wanted to increase the strength by adding Zhou Duo. Zhou Duo's strength is not weak. After he joins, facing some powerful golden beasts, they can also take some strong offensive measures instead of giving up blindly.
Sure enough, with Zhou Duo joining, although there was only one person, the strength of their team increased several times. They successively destroyed several large golden beast groups and reaped huge rewards.
After killing another group of golden rats and harvesting thousands of walnut-sized golden essences, Zhou Duo said, "Junior Sister Qu, Junior Brother Chen, as soon as I arrived at the Qi Tian Secret Realm, I appeared near the Golden Plain. I found a secret place near the Golden Plain, which is full of various rare golden grasses. The most important thing is that there may be a relic there, but that place is guarded by a powerful golden beast, so I can't go in alone. I wonder if you are interested in going on an adventure with me and searching for that relic. I believe there must be treasures in it that are hundreds or thousands of times more precious than golden essence."
After hearing this, Qu Hongluan's eyes lit up and she looked at Chen Lei with some excitement.
Chen Lei saw Qu Hongluan looking at him, obviously hoping that he would go with her. Chen Lei had indeed collected a lot of gold essence at this time. If there were more precious relics here, it would not hurt to go and take a look.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Lei nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing Chen Lei agree, Zhou Duo laughed and said, "Brother Chen, come on, I promise that this trip to the ruins will not disappoint you."
Then, Zhou Duo led the way, flying quickly on the golden plain. Even if he encountered some golden beasts, he would avoid them in advance instead of actively hunting them.
