Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within Yinlei Valley, Chen Hai joined forces with more than a dozen Lone Wolf Gang disciples in a fierce battle against the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King.
The powerful ripples of spiritual energy shook the entire valley until the earth trembled and the mountains swayed.
At this moment, the two sides were clearly deadlocked. Although the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King was ferocious beyond compare, the Lone Wolf Gang had strength in numbers, making it difficult to determine a victor anytime soon.
What a perfect opportunity!
Seeing both sides locked in fierce combat, Lu Changsheng's lips curled slightly. He could take advantage of their battle to sneak into the cave dwelling and take the Thunder Spirit Milk.
Whoosh!
With that thought, Lu Changsheng shot out like a ghostly phantom and swiftly arrived before the cave entrance.
At this time, Chen Hai and the others were fighting the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion with all their might, utterly unaware that Lu Changsheng had slipped into the cave dwelling without a sound.
The cave dwelling was not particularly dim inside, for chunks of purple crystal had been embedded in its stone walls.
These purple crystals made the entire cave look exceptionally dreamlike.
Moreover, the purple crystals reflected light, so the cave was far from pitch-black.
Lu Changsheng followed the passage deeper into the cave, clearly sensing that Lightning Element power within was incredibly dense.
However, before long, a maze of complicated branching paths appeared ahead.
Which way should I go?
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly. He had no extra time to think and casually chose the middle path.
Yet the farther he ventured into the cave dwelling, the deeper Lu Changsheng frowned. There were simply too many forks inside, crisscrossing like a maze, and before long, he had actually become a little lost.
I have to find the Thunder Spirit Milk as quickly as possible...
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He had to find the Thunder Spirit Milk before Chen Hai and the others finished their battle.
With that in mind, he suddenly quickened his pace and searched everywhere in the depths of the cave dwelling for the Thunder Spirit Milk.
Hm!
This is...
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng made a startling discovery. In a corner of the cave dwelling, he saw clumps of silver-gray mushrooms growing there.
These silver mushrooms gave off dense Lightning Power.
Thunder Spirit Mushroom?!
Delight filled Lu Changsheng's face.
He had never expected to find Thunder Spirit Mushrooms inside the cave dwelling!
Thunder Spirit Mushrooms were mid-grade first-rank medicinal herbs, usually born in places rich in Lightning Element power. Though they were not considered precious medicinal herbs, a single one could still sell for over a dozen Spirit Stones.
Lu Changsheng licked his lips and immediately began harvesting the Thunder Spirit Mushrooms at top speed.
After all, these things could be exchanged for quite a few Spirit Stones within the sect.
As Lu Changsheng harvested the Thunder Spirit Mushrooms, he continued deeper into the cave. But very soon, he was dumbfounded—the cave was filled with Thunder Spirit Mushrooms everywhere!
Why are there so many?
The corner of Lu Changsheng's mouth twitched. Within the crystal cave, Thunder Spirit Mushrooms carpeted the ground as though they cost nothing at all.
Forget it. I won't pick any more. Finding the Thunder Spirit Milk is more important.
Lu Changsheng decisively gave up.
He quickened his pace and soon reached the deepest part of the cave.
At that moment, a vast stone chamber suddenly appeared before him. In the very center of the chamber hung an enormous stalactite, tapering down from above.
Beneath the stalactite was a small depression, filled with silvery, milk-like liquid.
Found it!
Thunder Spirit Milk!
Lu Changsheng was beside himself with excitement and hurried beneath the stalactite.
The silvery milk-like liquid within the depression flickered with light and radiated dense Lightning Power.
The energy fluctuation it gave off was even stronger than that of the Ink Sun Grass!
Looking up, Lu Changsheng quickly understood. The stalactite gathered Lightning Power, condensing it into drops of Thunder Spirit Milk that slowly fell from its tip into the depression.
A single drop of Thunder Spirit Milk required at least three months of Lightning Power to condense.
In other words, only four drops of Thunder Spirit Milk could be formed in an entire year.
Yet at this moment, there were roughly a hundred drops of Thunder Spirit Milk in the depression.
Lu Changsheng's gaze burned with excitement. Every single drop of Thunder Spirit Milk was worth a fortune!
After pondering for a moment, he immediately took out the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron. Then, with the utmost care, he collected the Thunder Spirit Milk and placed it inside the cauldron.
Before long, he had stored every drop of Thunder Spirit Milk in the cauldron.
Hehe, Chen Hai and those fools never dreamed that the Thunder Spirit Milk would end up benefiting me.
Lu Changsheng chuckled to himself.
If those people learned that he had stolen the Thunder Spirit Milk, who knew whether they would be furious enough to go mad?
Having obtained the Thunder Spirit Milk, Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated. He had to leave the cave dwelling at once. If Chen Hai or the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion discovered him, it would likely mean no small amount of trouble.
Wuuu! Wuuu! Wuuu!
However, just as Lu Changsheng turned to leave the cave dwelling, a strange whimper suddenly sounded out.
What was that sound?
Lu Changsheng's expression changed in alarm.
He pricked up his ears and listened. The strange whimpering was coming from nearby.
Driven by curiosity, Lu Changsheng followed the sound deeper into the cave.
Before long, he entered another stone chamber. Not far away was a crystal hollow filled with straw.
Upon the straw lay a Lion Cub, crying out with repeated whimpers.
Could this be...
Lu Changsheng's pupils constricted. This had to be a Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion cub!
The cub was extremely small, like a miniature Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion.
Its body was likewise covered in crystal-like armor, with faint arcs of lightning flickering all around it.
At that moment, a bold idea suddenly arose in Lu Changsheng's mind.
He planned to take the Lion Cub away!
This cub was an exceedingly rare Lightning Element demon beast. Once it grew up, it could become a great demon, and it would be quite good as either a companion or a mount.
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng entered the nest and picked up the Lion Cub. Yet the cub continued making soft whimpering cries.
What's going on?
Could it be hungry?
Lu Changsheng frowned.
After pondering for a moment, he took a drop of Thunder Spirit Milk from the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron and dripped it onto the Lion Cub's mouth. To his surprise, the cub slurped it all up in one go.
Wuuu! Wuuu! Wuuu!
At this point, the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion Cub actually cried even louder. Clearly, it desperately wanted more Thunder Spirit Milk.
Gritting his teeth, Lu Changsheng took out more Thunder Spirit Milk. Only after it had consumed ten drops did the Lion Cub finally stop crying and fall asleep.
Damn it, what a spendthrift! It guzzled down ten drops of Thunder Spirit Milk in one go!
Lu Changsheng's heart ached.
After all, he had only obtained around a hundred drops of Thunder Spirit Milk in total. Yet seeing the cub snoring soundly in his arms, Lu Changsheng could not help laughing aloud.
That Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion must have given birth not long ago and is still in a weakened state. Under the siege of Chen Hai and the others, it probably won't be able to hold on for much longer.
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
At once, he hurriedly searched for an exit from the cave. Yet the branching paths stretched in every direction, and Lu Changsheng had gotten lost again, unable to find his way out for the moment...
