Treasure Hunt

Wind-Lightning Twin Wings were one of Mo Tang's greatest trump cards at present.

Although he had already used the Gale Eagle's wings to refine the Gale Wings, that was merely the lowest form of the Wind-Lightning Twin Wings. The boost to his flying speed was far from satisfactory to Mo Tang, which was why he wanted to search the Demonic Beast Mountain Range for the Lightning Wings...

Watching the young man stare at her with blazing eyes, Xiao Yi Xian furrowed her delicate brows and silently pondered.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl's voice finally broke the silence in the room.

"Sorry, but with my current abilities, I simply can't make a poison capable of killing a Fourth-Order Magical Beast..."

The answer disappointed Mo Tang somewhat.

There was no helping it. Although he still had two special arrows in hand, Wind Thunder Emperor had prepared those for peak sixth-order magical beasts. He had only used one before because he had been left with no other choice; otherwise, Mo Tang would not have been willing to part with it.

With only his current Da Dou Shi cultivation, even with the Swift Star Chasing Moon Bow Technique at Grand Completion, Mo Tang still had no confidence in killing a fourth-order flying magical beast.

Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Xiao Yi Xian's heart stirred. She opened her mouth, looking as though she wanted to speak but hesitated.

Noticing the girl's odd behavior, Mo Tang asked in confusion, "What is it? Is there anything you can't say to me?"

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips before saying, "If... if you can help me go somewhere, then perhaps this problem can be solved..."

"What place?" Mo Tang asked with a frown.

Xiao Yi Xian's expression was conflicted. At last, she said, "I know of some ruins. There's something inside that I need. As long as I can retrieve it, I'll be confident in preparing the poison you need!"

Mo Tang's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words.

From her words alone, he could tell that the ruins she spoke of had to be the cave ruins Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian explored together in the original story!

It seemed Xiao Yi Xian had obtained the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture she needed from there, then begun cultivating the Calamity Poison Body!

The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture recorded countless formulas for highly toxic poisons. Preparing a poison capable of killing a fourth-order magical beast would not be difficult.

Of course, the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture itself held no appeal for Mo Tang.

What he cared about were the other treasures in the ruins!

"Alright, I'll go with you!" Mo Tang said excitedly.

At once, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes filled with vigilance. "Don't rush. We should first settle how we'll divide the things inside..."

Mo Tang could not help but laugh at the girl's reaction.

"Fine, fine. Are you afraid I'll keep everything for myself?"

Xiao Yi Xian curled her lips and snorted. "Hmph, who knows!"

Mo Tang pondered for a moment. "How about this? Anything inside that you need will be yours, and anything I need will be mine. Everything else will be split equally. How does that sound?"

"That's too vague. What if you want something that I need too?" Xiao Yi Xian was still unconvinced.

Mo Tang could only feel helpless.

There was no helping it. It was normal for her to think that way.

After all, the gap in their strength was far too great. If he truly harbored ill intentions, the girl probably felt she had no way of stopping him.

"Come on, have a little faith in me, will you?"

Xiao Yi Xian curled her lips, but she did not argue further.

"Alright. It's still early, so let's get ready to leave..."

The ruins Xiao Yi Xian had mentioned were quite close to the interior of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, and not near Qingshan Town either.

But that was nothing to Mo Tang, who possessed the ability to fly.

Once again, wrapping an arm around the girl's soft, slender waist, Mo Tang's thoughts wandered for quite a while.

However, having experienced it once already, Xiao Yi Xian was still shy but no longer resisted as strongly as she had the first time. Even the young girl herself did not notice this change.

"Stop somewhere up ahead..."

Under Xiao Yi Xian's guidance, Mo Tang held the girl as they landed outside a dense forest.

The girl searched around for the landmarks she had secretly memorized, identified the direction, and led Mo Tang straight into the woods.

As they ventured deeper, the surroundings gradually darkened.

The dense trees completely blocked out the sunlight, shrouding everything around them in shadow.

After walking some more, their formerly dim view suddenly brightened...

Mo Tang looked up and saw that they had actually passed through the small forest. Before them stood a somewhat steep cliff.

Looking down, they saw lush, verdant woodland covering the area beneath the cliff, a rather magnificent sight.

"Down beneath this cliff, there's a cave. The ruins are there!" Xiao Yi Xian kept looking down, her expression somewhat excited.

Unfortunately, nothing could be seen with the naked eye alone.

"Quick, let's go down."

Without needing Mo Tang to say anything, Xiao Yi Xian very naturally came to his side, wrapped both arms around his neck, and kept urging him on.

Habit really was a frightening thing...

Once again wrapping an arm around the girl's slender waist, Mo Tang spread the wings behind his back and leaped straight off the cliff.

After a careful search, they soon discovered it. Hidden beneath a strange rocky overhang, the cave entrance was even concealed behind an odd tree.

"It really is well hidden!"

Mo Tang spoke softly.

While searching for the cave just now, Mo Tang had seen more than one red dot on the Minimap, all concealed along the cliff face. They were likely Rock Snakes or similar magical beasts that lived among the rocks.

If he could not fly and had rashly climbed down the cliff face, encountering those things would have caused even Mo Tang some trouble.

As Mo Tang and Xiao Yi Xian descended, a sudden gust burst from the wings on his back. Like a wild wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it blew the heaps of tangled rubble and strange trees into the mountain ravine below.

With the trees and stones no longer blocking their view, Mo Tang and Xiao Yi Xian finally saw this cave left behind by someone from the past up close.

The entrance was not wide, only large enough for two or three people to pass through.

The cave was pitch-black within, yet a faint glow could vaguely be seen emanating from it, giving it a mysterious feeling of a winding path leading to a secluded place.

The two also saw many knife-like marks around the entrance. However, perhaps due to the passage of time, they had become extremely blurred. If not for Mo Tang's sharp eyesight, he might not have noticed them at all.

"This is the place. We can finally go in and take a look!"

After landing, Xiao Yi Xian naturally left Mo Tang's embrace. Looking at the cave, she appeared somewhat excited.

"Let's go and see what we can find. Hopefully, I won't be disappointed."

Smiling slightly at Xiao Yi Xian, Mo Tang took out a firestarter, then cautiously took the lead into the pitch-black cave.
