A Tactful Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape
He was ruthless, but not stupid. The people in front of him were clearly not people he could mess with, especially that unbelievably beautiful woman, who was definitely a legendary Dou Zong powerhouse.
"Gentlemen, what brings you here?"
"I asked in a muffled voice, "the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape asked.
"Fight both of them,"
Lin Qing pointed to Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin and said.
Unfortunately, a fight didn't break out in the end. Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape immediately lay down on the ground and shouted:
"No! My lord! You must have your eye on what I'm guarding! If you want it, then take it!"
Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape: I'm not stupid! Whether I win or lose, I'll still eat at my feast!
Looking at the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape that had already submitted, Zi Yan excitedly shouted to it:
"In that case, quickly take us to the treasure you're protecting!"
"Come with me!"
The Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape spoke in a deep, resonant voice.
Led by the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape, the group successfully entered the valley.
The pale moonlight enveloped the earth, like a layer of ethereal silver gauze.
However, due to the obstruction of the valley, the moonlight did not shine into it. Lin Qing flicked his finger, and several wisps of thin, crimson flames floated from his fingertip, eventually spreading in the air around him like lanterns. The flames shone down, slowly dispelling the darkness in the valley.
Using the firelight, the group discovered that the valley was incredibly spacious, filled with dense trees and scattered rocks, but there were no other living creatures, clearly having been driven away by the Snow Demonic Sky Ape.
The group followed the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape as it flew into the valley, while the tiny Crimson Flame moved with it, circling around it like bodyguards.
The place was quiet along the way, without a sound. But by the light of the fire, one could see some exposed white bones on the ground. This scene, like a dead land, made people feel a little creeped out.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food; it seems quite a few Magical Beast have lost their lives for this Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid!"
Lin Qing glanced at the skeletons and thought to himself.
However, the marrow-cleansing and bone-refining effects of the Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid are far more attractive to Magical Beast than to humans. If they could obtain this, cultivating into human form in the future would be much easier. This is why these Magical Beasts are willing to risk their lives to obtain the Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid.
The Snow Demonic Sky Ape did not stop upon entering the valley. Led by it, the group quickly arrived at the edge of a dark cave at the end of the valley.
A faint scent, similar to that of the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape, emanated from the cave, indicating that this must be its dwelling place.
The cave is quite large, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate the Snow Demonic Sky Ape. The mountaintop is more than ten meters high. Inside the cave, rocks are scattered everywhere, and white fur can be seen all over the place.
A moment later, the group walked to a stone wall at the end of the cave. Before Lin Qing could speak, the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape immediately went to the corner of the stone wall and began digging with its huge hands.
"This guy is actually quite smart!"
Zi Yan noticed the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape's movements and immediately guessed that it had hidden the treasure.
The Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape did not react to Zi Yan's words, and continued to dig in the mud and sand. After a while, a dark underground cave entrance appeared in front of everyone.
Let's go!
Seeing that the entrance to the cave had been dug out, Lin Qing waved his hand, and the Crimson Flame floating around him immediately floated into it. The passage behind the black hole was extremely spacious. He spoke to the people behind him.
Upon hearing this, the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape jumped inside, and the others followed. The cave path was extremely winding, but with the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape leading the way and the illumination from the Heavenly Flames, they weren't particularly worried.
After walking for nearly ten minutes in this quiet atmosphere, they followed the Snow Demonic Sky Ape to a cave entrance that was glowing white.
After the Snow-Heaven Demonic Ape entered the cave, Zi Yan hurriedly followed, and Cailin followed with a somewhat indulgent expression.
"Let's go!" Lin Qing instructed the Lion, then led Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin inside.
As Lin Qing stepped out of the dark passage, his eyes were suddenly filled with light, and he was able to see the environment of this underground world.
What appeared before them was an underground world filled with stalactites. As far as the eye could see, the milky white stalactites stretched endlessly to the horizon, emanating a pale white light that dispelled all the darkness. The stalactites were everywhere, some hanging from the mountaintops above, and some even reaching a hundred meters in length. At a glance, the mountain dome was covered with enormous stalactites, and occasionally a drop of white liquid would drip down, splashing milky white water on the ground.
Lin Qing observed the underground world with some curiosity. The formation environment of this Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid was somewhat similar to the formation environment of stalactites in his previous life.
"The treasure is on the left!" Once they reached the underground world, Zi Yan no longer needed the Snow Demonic Sky Ape to lead the way. With her sensory abilities, she could clearly sense the approximate location of the object even at such a close distance. In fact, Lin Qing had sensed it as well without her saying so.
Excitedly, she grabbed Cailin and hurriedly ran towards the location she sensed.
Seeing this, Lin Qing and the others followed closely. The group traversed this world of stalactites for more than ten minutes before stopping. What appeared before them was a huge stalactite.
The stalactite that appeared before us connected one end to the top of the mountain dome and the other end hung vertically down. Its enormous size was more than a hundred meters long and as thick as two people could hug. A pale white light surrounded it, making it look like a crystal pillar.
This stalactite is undoubtedly the largest in this underground world. Its size makes it seem like the king of stalactites, receiving the worship of countless other stalactites around it.
As your gaze gradually moves downwards, beneath this stalactite lies an extremely large blue stone, most of which is buried underground.
At this moment, at the top of the bluestone, there is a groove less than half a foot deep, which is directly opposite the tip of the stalactite above.
The groove contained a two-inch-deep milky white liquid, with a faint white mist floating on top. The mist was quite peculiar; no matter how it drifted, it never dissipated. Everyone took a light breath and immediately felt a strange sensation as if their bones were going to go numb.
"What is this?" Even with Cailin's centuries of experience, he couldn't help but ask.
"This is Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid, born beneath the earth. Originally pure earth energy, it has been compressed over the years, turning into mist over a hundred years, known as Earth Core Mist. It has the miraculous effect of solidification. After a thousand years, it condenses into a liquid form. If the quality is even higher, it is called Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid, which has the divine effect of cleansing marrow and refining bones. Furthermore, because of its extremely pure and vast earth energy, it can even help some people who have reached the peak of their level to break through the barriers between advancements. Of course, there is also a considerable chance of failure."
Lin Qing explained.
