The Working People Are the Most Glorious

"All right! Let's head to that canyon now!"

Ji Xuejun made the decision without hesitation. If they did not resolve this quickly, she feared it would become more troublesome later on.

"All right, I'll have Xiao Luo lead the way. We'll head straight there!"

"Xiao Luo?"

"Oh, that's Blazing Flame Mad Tiger. It's the nickname I gave him! Right, let's just ride on Xiao Luo's back and have him take us there!"

"Fine!"

Without another word, Ji Xuejun jumped onto Blazing Flame Mad Tiger's back with several of her subordinates. Lin Yu also leaped up and sat atop Blazing Flame Mad Tiger's head.

"Xiao Luo, take us there!"

"Yes, Master. Hold on tight!"

After saying that, Blazing Flame Mad Tiger's massive body charged off in one direction at incredible speed. Sitting atop his head, Lin Yu felt the fierce wind blasting against his face. It gave him quite the thrill of speeding!

This is what speeding is supposed to feel like for a man. Those luxury cars are pathetically weak compared to Xiao Luo.

Before long, Xiao Luo brought them to the entrance of a canyon.

"Master, this is the place. This is where I found that black stone before!"

Xiao Luo stopped before the canyon and transmitted his voice to Lin Yu.

"This is it?"

Lin Yu looked at the vast, winding canyon before him. Its twisting terrain was steep and deep, its layers piled one upon another.

"Sister Xuejun, we're here. This is the place Xiao Luo mentioned!"

"This is the place?"

After saying that, Ji Xuejun led everyone off the tiger's back and gave the others an order.

"Wang Defa, split into pairs and investigate separately. Send a signal if you find anything!"

"Yes!"

Wang Defa and the others answered, just about to set off when they heard Lin Yu call out.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

"I'll have my clones follow you. If you find anything, we'll know immediately as well!"

Lin Yu created several Wood Clones. The clones nodded to one another before following Wang Defa and the others separately.

"Brother Lin Yu, I've wanted to ask you this for a long time. How do you have so many abilities? What exactly is your talent?"

Wang Defa looked at the clone beside him and asked Lin Yu curiously. He should not have asked such things, since they were Lin Yu's personal privacy. But after witnessing all sorts of miraculous things from Lin Yu along the way, and now seeing so many clones, the curiosity he had suppressed all this time finally erupted.

"This is only one application of my talent. It's nothing special."

Lin Yu's clone suddenly spoke up to explain. Wang Defa, who had been looking at Lin Yu's original body, jumped in fright at the voice beside him.

"Holy shit!!! You can talk?!"

Wang Defa's expression perfectly embodied the meaning of having one's jaw drop. His eyes were wide, his eyeballs bulging, and his mouth hung open.

Although he had seen one of Lin Yu's clones when they encountered Blazing Flame Mad Tiger earlier, the clone had been dismissed by Lin Yu before it could speak.

As a result, Wang Defa and the others had no idea what functions Lin Yu's Wood Clones possessed. Though they were curious, they had assumed the clones could only relay what they saw back to the original body.

In their eyes, that ability was already absurd enough. Yet now the clone could actually communicate. This was clearly a clone with independent consciousness.

"..."

Lin Yu's Wood Clone fell silent for a moment and looked at Wang Defa strangely. Only after staring at him until his scalp went numb did it speak.

"My Wood Clones possess independent consciousness and all the original body's abilities. Other than being somewhat weaker than me, they're the same as me in every way."

"...!"

"Enough. The mission comes first. Don't ask about these things for now. You'll understand later!"

After hearing Ji Xuejun's words, Wang Defa and the others did not dare say anything more. If their boss lost her temper later, they would be in for it. They immediately entered the canyon and spread out.

"Brother Yu, have Blazing Flame Mad Tiger lead the way. Let's first take a look at where it found the black stone."

"All right. Xiao Luo, do you remember the exact location?"

"Master, I remember! It should be around the middle section of the canyon. I'll take you there now."

"All right, let's go, Sister Xuejun!"

Led by Xiao Luo, the Blazing Flame Mad Tiger, the two soon arrived at the middle section of the canyon.

"Master, this is the place. When I first arrived in this secret realm, I was unfamiliar with the surroundings and accidentally wandered in here. This was where I discovered that black stone by chance."

"..."

"What characteristics did the black stone you found have? Aren't all the stones here black?"

Lin Yu looked at the countless black stones scattered across the ground, speechless. He had already examined them earlier. They were just ordinary stones, blackened at most by burning.

"Master, it wasn't like this. That kind of black was pure, the kind that gleamed black. You could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary. I thought it was some kind of treasure back then, which was why I ate it. As long as you see it, you'll definitely be able to tell the difference."

Xiao Luo's confident voice rang in Lin Yu's mind. After hearing it, Lin Yu half-believingly relayed the information to Ji Xuejun.

"Sister Xuejun, there's no other way. It looks like we'll have to use the dumb method!"

Lin Yu and Ji Xuejun looked at the black stones scattered everywhere before them. Trying to find a special black stone among them was enough to give them a headache just thinking about it. The crucial point was that they might not even find one, since not even Blazing Flame Mad Tiger was sure whether there were any such black stones left here.

But with no other leads at the moment, they could only try their luck.

Lin Yu let out a long breath and clapped his hands together.

Wood Release: Multiple Wood Clone Technique

Ji Xuejun stared dumbfoundedly as dozens of Lin Yu clones appeared out of thin air, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Br-Brother Yu, you can make so many clones?"

Ji Xuejun stammered as she asked Lin Yu. What she had just witnessed once again overturned everything she thought she knew about him.

"Yeah, but it's nothing useful. There are just more people, that's all. The more I make, the weaker they become. At most, they're good for scouting."

Lin Yu spoke as if it were nothing. With his current strength, these clones were only First Rank. They could only fool people who did not know any better.

"..."

Ji Xuejun rolled her eyes at Lin Yu's words. Was that even something a human being should say? Sure, the clones he made now were weak because his level was low, but what about once his level was higher? With these Wood Clones alone, Lin Yu would be equivalent to a small army.

"All right, everyone, get moving. Report to me immediately if you find anything."

"Got it, original body. Just watch us. We'll turn this place upside down."

After saying that, Lin Yu's Wood Clones scattered out and began flipping over the stones on the ground one by one. The scene immediately became bustling with activity.

Looking at the sight before her, Ji Xuejun suddenly found a saying surfacing in her mind.

"The working people are the most glorious."
