Treasure Heist Successful, Life-or-Death Crisis!

The dense forest was destroyed. One green and one purple streak of light shot into the sky, one pursuing and one fleeing, before beginning a savage clash high above at an altitude of a thousand meters!

Xiao Lei glanced up at the battle in the sky, then pushed the Soul Restraint Technique to its limits. His body became a shadow as he swiftly darted toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Cave atop the mountain.

After a while, Xiao Lei passed through the forest Yun Yun had entered earlier. Before him lay the corpses of many magical beasts above Tier 3.

Xiao Lei casually swept his gaze over them without paying them any heed, quickly heading for the cave entrance.

Most of the magical beast guards at the cave entrance had been dealt with by Yun Yun.

However, due to the lack of time, two Tier 3 Magical Beasts hiding in the rear had been left behind.

At that moment, the two Tier 3 Magical Beasts were trembling as they watched the fierce battle in the sky. Their bodies were pressed to the ground, shivering without end.

With a thought, Xiao Lei directly released the Dou Ling Puppet, which attacked the two Tier 3 Magical Beasts as swiftly as lightning.

Tier 3 Magical Beasts were comparable to human Da Dou Shi cultivators. They were no match for the Dou Ling Puppet to begin with, much less against a sneak attack.

"Ssh!"

"Ssh!"

Holding a longsword, the Dou Ling Puppet seized the moment when the two Tier 3 Magical Beasts were unprepared and slit their throats in a single strike.

After dealing with the two Tier 3 Magical Beasts, Xiao Lei put away the Dou Ling Puppet again and swiftly dashed toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Cave.

After entering the cave, the light inside was not as dim as he had imagined. Purple crystal chunks were embedded here and there in the surrounding rock walls.

These crystal chunks were naturally formed within the cave. In the human world, such Amethyst Crystals were rather rare decorative items and worth a great deal.

The deep and spacious interior of the cave was adorned with these Amethyst Crystals, making it exceptionally beautiful.

He proceeded cautiously. Sure enough, just as Yun Yun had said, there were no other magical beasts in the cave. Aside from the faint sound of his own footsteps, there was no other noise.

After passing through the long cave passage, two forks appeared before him after a while.

Xiao Lei looked at the two paths, rubbing his chin thoughtfully for a moment before carefully stepping into the passage on the right.

Xiao Lei remembered that the Coexisting Purple Crystal Source was in the left passage, while the right passage contained the Purple Spirit Crystal and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's son.

However, only the Purple Spirit Crystal could break open the shell of the Coexisting Purple Crystal Source, so he intended to take the Purple Spirit Crystal first.

As for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's son, all he could say was that he was sorry.

After walking through the passage for a short while, his view suddenly opened up.

Xiao Lei pressed himself tightly against the cave entrance, his gaze slowly sweeping across the cave that was almost entirely filled with Amethyst Stones.

When his eyes reached the center, they gradually came to a stop.

Because there, a smaller Amethyst Winged Lion King was lying on the ground, sleeping peacefully.

The strong prey on the weak. Sorry, Xiao Lei murmured inwardly as he looked at the sleeping Young Amethyst Winged Lion King, shaking his head slightly.

Then, Xiao Lei released the Three-Star Dou Ling-level puppet once more.

The moment the Dou Ling Puppet appeared, it did not hesitate in the slightest. Gripping its longsword, it fiercely slashed down at the Young Amethyst Winged Lion King's neck!

"Pfft!"

The longsword came down, leaving a bloody wound on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's neck, but it failed to sever it.

The intense pain in its neck immediately woke the Young Amethyst Winged Lion King. It let out a pained roar and struggled to flee to the side.

"Seriously injure it. Don't kill it!"

Xiao Lei gave the Dou Ling Puppet an order, then quickly rushed to where the Young Amethyst Winged Lion King had been lying. He crouched down and tapped on more than a dozen nearby Amethyst Stones.

It was not that Xiao Lei was softhearted. He simply needed to leave himself a way out.

If the Amethyst Winged Lion King returned and saw that its son was dead, it would surely go completely mad and pursue Xiao Lei to the death.

But if the Amethyst Winged Lion King saw its severely injured son, it could only treat its injuries first before thinking of revenge.

Upon hearing Xiao Lei's command, the Dou Ling Puppet attacked the Young Amethyst Winged Lion King once again.

When Xiao Lei's finger tapped an Amethyst Stone near the edge, a hollow sound suddenly came from below.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Lei did not hesitate. His right hand swiftly felt around and pried open the stone slab. Immediately, a brilliant purple radiance burst forth, making Xiao Lei hurriedly close his eyes.

After a while, Xiao Lei opened his eyes again and looked into the small hollow.

There, a fist-sized, irregularly shaped, sharp purple spirit crystal lay quietly inside.

Light flowed over the purple spirit crystal, making it exceptionally beautiful.

This was precisely the Purple Spirit Crystal Yun Yun wanted.

With a thought, Xiao Lei stored the Purple Spirit Crystal in his Storage Ring.

At this point, the Dou Ling Puppet had already beaten the Young Amethyst Winged Lion King into a severely injured state, leaving it lying on the ground and unable to move.

Xiao Lei put away the Dou Ling Puppet again, then quickly turned around and headed for the passage on the left.

The passage on the left was quite winding. Xiao Lei turned several corners before finally arriving at a spacious cave.

Xiao Lei's gaze swiftly swept around before finally stopping at the center of the cave.

There, Amethyst Stones more than a meter tall had been piled into something resembling a square platform.

On the amethyst platform sat a purple spherical object as large as Xiao Lei's head.

Heat continuously radiated from the purple sphere, raising the temperature inside the cave considerably.

Xiao Lei knew very well that the Coexisting Purple Crystal Source was inside that sphere. Not daring to waste any time, he directly took out the Purple Spirit Crystal and smashed it fiercely against the purple sphere.

"Crack..."

The Purple Spirit Crystal struck the sphere. After a brief silence, a crack appeared on its surface. A moment later, the crack widened, and with a "bang," it shattered apart.

The moment the Coexisting Purple Crystal Source broke open, purple liquid flowed out from within.

Xiao Lei did not hesitate at all. He directly took out jade bottles from the System Space and quickly filled them with the purple liquid.

The sphere looked quite large, but the purple liquid within was only enough to fill six small jade bottles.

After collecting the final drop of Purple Crystal Source from the bottom of the sphere, Xiao Lei immediately used the Wind Thunder Leg and shot wildly toward the cave exit!

Because Xiao Lei knew that the Amethyst Winged Lion King fighting Yun Yun must have heard that scream just now as well.

And that was indeed the case.

High in the sky, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who was fighting Yun Yun, heard the scream from within the cave. Its expression changed drastically as it let out an angry roar. "Cunning human, you deserve death!"

As its voice fell, the Amethyst Winged Lion King unleashed a full-force attack that knocked Yun Yun away. Its wings flapped behind it as it swiftly returned to its cave.

The moment the Amethyst Winged Lion King returned to the cave entrance, it saw Xiao Lei fleeing from within.

"Despicable human, die!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, spewing down purple flames that engulfed Xiao Lei!
