Chapter 22 One-Handed Kill, Treasure Hunt in the Cave!

A faint whooshing sound echoed through the night sky.

With the help of the dim firelight, both of them recognized what was attacking them.

"Rock Serpent!"

The fairy doctor's pretty face changed slightly, and her expression immediately became tense.

Although the Rock Serpent was only a first-tier magical beast, she didn't even have any cultivation. Xiao Lei was only a low-level fighter, and they were still hanging in mid-air. Facing the Rock Serpent, they probably had no chance of winning.

Of course, this is just Little Fairy Doctor's idea.

As for Xiao Lei, he didn't take the rock snake seriously.

Xiao Lei temporarily stopped his forward momentum, creating some distance between himself and the rock snake, and said to Little Fairy Doctor, "Hold on tight, I need to free up my hands to deal with that rock snake."

"Can you handle this?" Little Fairy Doctor, no longer caring about being shy, hugged Xiao Lei tightly with both hands and asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Xiao Lei replied with a smile, gripping the rope tightly with his right hand and releasing Little Fairy Doctor with his left.

The rock serpent's vertical pupils gleamed with a fierce light as it stared at Xiao Lei and Little Fairy Doctor.

"hiss……"

Suddenly, it let out a hiss, flapped its narrow wings, and swooped down toward Xiao Lei and Little Fairy Doctor's location!

Its gaping maw opened wide, revealing sharp fangs that gleamed with a chilling light.

"Attack it quickly, you idiot!" Little Fairy Doctor urged anxiously as she watched the rock snake rapidly approaching, but Xiao Lei seemed to be making no move.

Xiao Lei ignored her. His fighting spirit flowed through his meridians, and soon purple fighting spirit condensed in his hand, with lightning flashing between his palms!

"Damn it, what are you waiting for? If we wait any longer, we're both going to die!"

Looking at the rock snake that had already entered the ten-meter range, Little Fairy Doctor was so angry that she grabbed Xiao Lei's back and said in a panic.

"Don't move!" Xiao Lei shouted in a low voice, but still did not rush to make a move.

Only when the rock serpent swooped down to within three meters of the two did his left palm, crackling with arcs of lightning, swiftly strike down!

"Thunderbolt Palm!"

With a single palm strike, swift as lightning, a thunderous boom resounded throughout.

A palm print crackling with purple lightning shot out from its palm and slammed into the rock serpent's triangular head in an instant!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the rock serpent's head was instantly smashed by the purple palm print, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

Immediately afterwards, the headless corpse of the rock serpent was charred into a pile by the purple lightning arc and crashed heavily into the bottomless valley.

"You killed the rock serpent with a single palm strike?" Little Fairy Doctor's eyes widened, her gaze towards Xiao Lei filled with shock.

Although the rock serpent was only a first-tier magical beast, its body was as hard as stone and difficult to injure with swords and blades. Yet Xiao Lei smashed its head with a single palm strike. Such strength was quite formidable!

"It's just killing a rock snake, what's the big deal?"

Xiao Lei smiled faintly, put his left arm around Little Fairy Doctor's slender waist again, and slowly descended to the entrance of the cave.

Looking at the messy rubble and strange trees at the cave entrance, Xiao Lei frowned slightly. Then, he opened his left hand again, and his fighting spirit surged out and condensed in his palm.

"go!"

With a low shout, Xiao Lei thrust his palm forward, and instantly, a violent burst of fighting spirit erupted from his palm.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, it sent all the scattered pebbles and strange trees flying into the mountain stream.

After cleaning up, Xiao Lei led Little Fairy Doctor into the cave.

The cave entrance is not wide, only allowing two or three people to pass through. The cave is dark inside, yet it faintly emits a light, making it seem quite mysterious.

There are also many faint knife marks around the cave entrance.

"We've finally arrived..."

The feeling of being grounded made Little Fairy Doctor breathe a sigh of relief. She broke free from Xiao Lei's embrace, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face as she looked around the cave.

"Let's go, let's see what good things are in this cave," Xiao Lei smiled at Little Fairy Doctor, then took out a tinderbox, lit it, and took the lead into the dark cave.

Looking at the dark interior of the cave, Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, then stamped her foot, gritted her teeth, and followed.

Although she was a little nervous, she had already come this far, and it was clear that she couldn't give up.

In the dark and cold cave, apart from the faint sound of their footsteps, there was no other movement, making it exceptionally quiet.

The dim environment caused Little Fairy Doctor to instinctively hug her arms tightly and quicken her pace, closely following behind Xiao Lei.

In this environment, only the boy in front of her could give her a sense of security.

After walking for more than ten minutes in the dark cave, Xiao Lei, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"what……"

Little Fairy Doctor couldn't stop in time and crashed into Xiao Lei's back, the soft part of her body even changing shape.

What are you doing?

The Fairy Doctor blushed and took a step back, her face full of embarrassment and annoyance.

Xiao Lei shrugged, raised his chin slightly, and gestured to a stone gate ahead that emitted a pale yellow light. "There's no way forward. I haven't even told you yet, you've already bumped my back and it hurts."

"Shameless!" Little Fairy Doctor cursed, then frowned slightly, took two steps forward, gazed at the stone gate, and pondered.

"Our destination should be behind the stone door. There should be a mechanism to open this stone door."

"You know about mechanisms?" Xiao Lei raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. "In that case, the important task of opening the stone door is entrusted to you."

"I've only read some books on mechanical arts. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but it's fine for probing."

Little Fairy Doctor casually replied, her slender hands slowly moving across the stone door.

"Found it!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After a while, Little Fairy Doctor let out a surprised sound. At the same time, she squatted down, touched a small bump under the stone door with one hand, and pressed it down hard.

"Creak!"

Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound echoed slowly through the dark cave.

"Well done!"

Looking at the stone gate that was gradually moving upwards, Xiao Lei gave Little Fairy Doctor a thumbs up and praised her.

As the stone door moved upwards, a faint light emanated from inside, instantly brightening the surrounding area.

Looking at the brightly lit interior of the stone gate, Little Fairy Doctor smiled, took two steps back, raised her snow-white chin at Xiao Lei, and said with a light laugh, "Here, go in."

Xiao Lei said jokingly, "So kind of you, letting me go in and choose my treasures first?"

"You wish! I asked you to go ahead and scout the way," Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at Xiao Lei and said irritably, "I helped open the stone door, now it's your turn."

"Alright, I'll let you have this once," Xiao Lei shrugged and stepped into the stone gate.

Seeing that Xiao Lei had entered the stone gate without any trouble, Little Fairy Doctor followed closely behind.

As the two stepped through the stone gate, their view suddenly widened.

Inside the stone gate was a huge stone chamber.

The walls of the spacious stone chamber are inlaid with moonstones for lighting, and in the center of the chamber is a chair.

A skeleton sat in a chair, its sunken skull resting on its pale thigh bone.

Such a scene, within the dimly lit cave, exudes a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

In front of the seat is a blue stone platform, on which three locked stone boxes are placed quietly.

In the three corners of the stone chamber, there were piles of glittering gold coins and other valuables.

In that last corner, there was a small flower bed made of soil, filled with all sorts of medicinal herbs.

"Purple-blue leaves, white ginseng fruit, snow lotus seeds..."

When Xiao Lei discovered those herbs, Little Fairy Doctor noticed them as well. Her pretty face immediately lit up with surprise, and she recited the names of those herbs as if they were her own treasures.

The most precious of them all is a Grade 4 spiritual herb, the Ice Spirit Flame Grass!

"I want this Ice Spirit Flame Grass," Xiao Lei said to Little Fairy Doctor after a moment's thought.

Xiao Lei knew that Xiao Yan needed some aids to devour the strange fire, and the Blood Lotus Pill was one of them.

Since he had come across it, Xiao Lei decided to take it and give it to Xiao Yan when he got back, since it was just a small favor.

"Since you recognize this thing, you should know how precious it is. Asking for the most rare herbs right off the bat—don't you think that's going too far?"

The Fairy Doctor frowned slightly and muttered somewhat reluctantly.

"I won't take advantage of you. Aside from the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, you can take any other herbs you like. You decide how much you give me, how about that?"

Xiao Lei found it somewhat amusing to look at Little Fairy Doctor's unwilling expression.

"You said it yourself," Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she seemed to find Xiao Lei much more agreeable.

"Hmm," Xiao Lei smiled, then said, "Let's take a look at what good stuff is in those three boxes."
