Thomas and the gang immediately left the sandstorm, setting off on the same path they had entered from.
While they were on their way back, they were careful to avoid a direct encounter with the ant army. Before the sky turned completely dark, they finally returned to the SUV. The four of them ate, drank, and rested in the car for the night.
***
The sky at night was gorgeous.
The night sky in the desert looked extraordinarily clear without the flickering of urban neon lights. It was clear like the water in a creek in the countryside.
When Phoebe looked at the sky, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com soul was cleansed. She looked at the sky before favonovel.com stared at Thomas. She thought that if favonovel.com could spend favonovel.com life with Thomas like that, it would be great.
After the night was over, the sun rose again the next morning.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was large. The temperature during the day was about 40 degrees, while at night, it could plummet below minus 10 degrees.
A normal person would not be able to bear such a huge difference in temperature without sufficient preparation. They would either die from sunburn or freeze to death. Luckily, the four of them were in an SUV, and there was air-conditioning.
They survived the first night and could also continue driving in the hot desert with air-conditioning on the second day.
Pisces drove while favonovel.com asked, “Where are we going next?”
Phoebe pondered for a while before favonovel.com said, “We still need metal, water, and fire. Water and fire are more special, so we’ll get them last. Our best course now is to get metal.”
“So, how are we going to get metal?”
After some consideration, favonovel.com answered, “I remember my father saying that metal is in a very special place. It seems to be in an active volcano. We can go in and get the metal element only when the volcano rests for a while.”
What favonovel.com said sounded frightening.
They would have to get in when the volcano was resting?
So, if the volcano started working again after a good rest, could they lose their lives at any time?
Phoebe continued to say, “Indeed, countless people have died because of this. There’s no fixed schedule for the volcano’s resting period. We don’t know when it will rest, and we won ’t even know when it’ll work. Besides, we don’t have the required techniques and equipment to get the metal. Even if we descend into the volcano, we might not be able to get the metal.”
Pisces frowned and asked, “What do you mean? Are you saying that we can’t get the metal at all?”
“Of course not. ” Phoebe flashed favonovel.com a mysterious smile and said, “Actually, there’s still another method aside from this that will allow us to obtain the metal. Plus, we won’t have to pay with our lives.”
“Oh? Are you for real?! Tell us about it.”
“Since the metal is highly expensive-even more expensive than gold-countless people have gone down into the volcano and harvested it from ancient times. After they take it out, they sell it to the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce sells it to people who need it at an extremely high price to earn the difference.”
When favonovel.com said that, everyone gained some understanding.
That meant they just needed to buy from the chamber of commerce, and they did not need to go to the volcano to get it
It would be convenient.
Phoebe added, “But the feasibility of this plan depends on our luck. The metal element is priceless, and it has a huge market. It will be sold out as soon as it’s available on the market. Many people will even preorder it, and they don’t care how expensive it is. So, whether we can buy the metal element from the Chamber of Commerce depends on whether there is recent stock. The standard of those who buy it comes into play too. If we go there and discover that there’s no stock, we’ll have to come up with another plan.”
While they discussed, the car arrived back at the hotel, and Vince got out of the car.
In the end, Thomas said, “You better behave yourself. If I find out that you’re committing crimes again, I won’t spare you any longer.”
Before Vince could reply, Pisces closed the door and drove away.
