People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 14: Roar of the Lion

The sun rises in the east.

After filling his stomach, Chen Xiao carefully checked the items he needed to prepare. After confirming that nothing was missing, he picked up his package and rushed towards the Warcraft Mountains.

Perhaps it was a change of luck, or perhaps it was because his increased strength made his legs faster, but Chen Xiao encountered far fewer monsters blocking his way today than in the previous few days.

After trekking through mountains and rivers, finally, around 3 p.m., Chen Xiao once again arrived at the herb-picking area of ​​Wanyaozhai.

Looking at the familiar small basin, Chen Xiao showed an expectant smile on his face.

Immediately, without hesitation, he hid the package and went to search the surrounding jungle with a long knife.

"grumble!"

A red ice snake hung upside down on a branch and attacked without hesitation when it saw the intruder.

Chen Xiao took a step back to dodge, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, brought out an ice-blue blade light, and killed the enemy with one blow.

"Huh? There's a magic core? This is the first time."

Chen Xiao skillfully picked up the red ice snake's corpse and was surprised to see an ice-blue crystal that emitted a faint light and was slightly larger than the joint of a thumb.

But then he thought again, he had killed more than a hundred monsters with his sword these days. Even if the probability of low-level monsters producing magic cores was extremely low, it should have triggered the minimum guarantee.

After cleaning and putting away this memorable magic core, Chen Xiao continued to explore the way with his long sword and search for the cave.

It took Chen Xiao nearly an hour to search the surrounding area with the small basin as the origin.

Finally, his hard work paid off and he found a steep cliff. Below the cliff was a lush green forest, which was quite beautiful.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao's face lit up with joy. This was almost the same as the description of the cave in his memory!
He quickly turned around and went back to retrieve the hidden package.

As everyone knows, in this continent, only those who have reached the Dou Ling level can glide briefly in the air.

When one reaches the level of Dou Wang, his Dou Qi turns into wings and he can truly soar into the sky.

If you can reach the level of Dou Zong, flying through the air as if walking on flat ground, that would be really cool!

Chen Xiao is just a small fighter, so he cannot be careless when searching for such a cliff, otherwise he may be easily smashed to pieces if he is not careful.

Taking out a bundle of rope from the package, Chen Xiao tied one end firmly to the big tree next to him, and tied himself tightly with the other end.

Then, he took out two one-foot-long iron spikes from the package. When exploring below the cliff, he could insert them into the rock wall to stabilize his body. In this way, even if a monster bit the rope in the middle of the journey, he would not be in danger.

However, according to Chen Xiao's experience, low-level monsters do not have this kind of intelligence, and he has not encountered such a situation in the past few days.

Everything was ready. Chen Xiao carried the package on his back and carefully stepped down the cliff.

The rope loosened little by little, and Chen Xiao went deeper and deeper on the rock wall.

After spending five or six minutes, Chen Xiao finally saw a small platform that looked very abrupt. On it were piles of tangled rubble and strange trees. Under such cover, it would be easily overlooked if viewed from a distance or from below.

"It's worth it that I spent so much time to finally find you!"

Thanks to the close distance, Chen Xiao was able to see that there was another world behind the rubble and strange trees.

I was immediately convinced that this was where the cave was!
Pulling out the iron spike stuck in the rock wall, Chen Xiao placed his feet on the cliff, and suddenly exerted force, then he jumped out like a cheetah and landed steadily in front of the pile of rubble.

Untie the ropes around your body and secure them aside.

Looking at the pile of rocks and strange trees in front of him, Chen Xiao took a deep breath, his fighting spirit flowed through his body, and a fierce force was pushed out from his palm.

Crackling~
The sounds of rubble rolling and wood breaking mixed together, making the small platform a mess.

Chen Xiao used his palm to clean up again. After a few consecutive slaps, the gravel and wood chips on the small platform were immediately swept away, and even the area became much more spacious.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao turned his gaze to the cave that had been cleared of cover.

Without the obstruction of trees and rubble, the cave can finally be seen clearly with the abundant daylight.

The entrance to the cave is very narrow, only allowing three or two people to pass through. It is dark inside the cave, but there is a faint light emanating from it, which makes it look quite mysterious.

After carefully recalling the original trajectory, Huo Huo and Xiao Yixian did not encounter any danger here. Only then did Chen Xiao grope his way into the cave with extreme caution.

After moving forward slowly for a few minutes, a stone door emitting a faint yellow light blocked the way forward.

Chen Xiao slapped it hard and it became hard.

Trying to break it open with brute force would be difficult for him given his strength. "Within seven steps, there must be an antidote..."

Thinking about it again, Chen Xiao bent down and searched around carefully.

It didn't take much effort. In less than five minutes, Chen Xiao found a small bump next to the stone gate.

Use a knife instead of your hand and press hard.

Immediately afterwards, with a creaking sound, the tightly closed stone door rumbled upward, revealing the passage behind it. A brighter pale yellow light emanated from the inside, driving away all the darkness nearby.

He took out a fire starter, blew it up, and threw it inside. After half a minute, nothing unexpected happened, so Chen Xiao strode in.

After walking more than ten steps, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

This is a spacious stone chamber!

The stone chamber looked quite simple and empty. The walls were inlaid with moonstones for lighting. In the center of the chamber, there was a chair, and on the chair sat a white skeleton.

"I apologize for disturbing you."

Chen Xiao bowed slightly to the skeleton, muttered something, and then turned his gaze away.

In front of the chair, there was a long and wide bluestone platform, on which were three locked stone boxes neatly arranged.

In addition, in the three corners of the stone chamber, there are a large number of gold coins piled up randomly like garbage, all about one meter high.

Chen Xiao only needed a rough estimate to know that the number was probably in the hundreds of thousands!

"Mine! It's all mine!"

Unable to suppress the smile on his face any longer, Chen Xiao strode forward and picked up a handful of gold coins. Listening to the pleasant rustling sound, he felt it was so beautiful.

There's no way, I was afraid of being poor in the past few years.

After rolling a few times on the pile of gold coins and venting his ecstasy of getting rich, Chen Xiao gradually calmed down.

Then, he looked towards the last corner of the stone chamber.

There was no longer a pile of gold coins there, but instead a small flower bed made of mud.

Various medicinal herbs are planted in the flower beds, and a complex and rich medicinal fragrance wafts into the air.

Chen Xiao couldn't even name many of the medicinal herbs accurately.

When Chen Xiao regained his senses, he realized that the value of these medicinal herbs was only higher than the estimated hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Chen Xiao even remembered that Huo Huo got the essential medicinal ingredient for refining the Blood Lotus Pill here.

"The handling of these medicinal herbs requires careful consideration. How to take them all away is also a headache..."

Looking around, Chen Xiao felt a sense of happy worry for the first time.

Three piles of gold coins and dozens of medicinal herbs. Even if the package was torn to pieces, it would still not be able to hold them all.

Without the ring, there will be such troubles.

"I can only take them back in batches. Once I get to Wutan City, I must get a storage ring!"

Having made up his mind, Chen Xiao stood up and walked to the bluestone platform.

His eyes turned and he soon saw three black keys hanging from the joints of the skeletal hand behind the stone table.

"Thank you again, Senior."

Muttering something, Chen Xiao took out the key and tried to open the stone box.

There are three keys and three stone boxes. Even if you make a mistake along the way, it is easy to match them up.

Soon, the first stone box was opened by Chen Xiao.

Inside it was a dark red scroll.

"'Mad Lion's Song', a high-level Xuan-level fighting skill!"
