The Karst Cave

By controlling divine authority, Ren Anran indeed possessed extremely high convenience in the Tuer tribe's territory.

Any place Ren Anran wanted to go was like strolling through her own backyard.

"How strange, why do I feel nothing when I stand in the shrine looking up at the gods, but I can feel a sense of antagonism when I'm next to you!"

On their journey to the cave, in addition to the two paladins who accompanied them, Tulcarando also came along.

"If you like it, then compete more," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I can't continue this training," Turcalando said dejectedly. "My mother suggested I learn Gene Fighting Technique!"

"Learning Gene Fighting Technique isn't bad either!"

The ' Spiritual Qi ' possesses abilities similar to the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, capable of exerting near-mind control over humans below a certain threshold.

This ability is extremely well-hidden, making it difficult for ordinary people and those with sequences to detect or effectively counter.

However, the power of Turkalando was exploited by the God of Turkal, just like Rong Tianding's cultivation of the Corpse-like School of Cultivation, and Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation of the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture.

Having suffered a near-fatal experience, Turcalando did indeed have the idea of switching allegiances.

She didn't want her painstaking efforts in cultivation to be a joke, something that could be casually sent by the god Tu'er and then casually taken away by him.

This involves Turcalando's own choice, and Zhang Xuezhou neither opposes nor approves of such matters.

Spiritual Qi and Gene Fighting Technique each have their advantages and disadvantages. The former has unique abilities but its back door is controlled by the god Tu'er, while the latter requires not only a lot of money to achieve success in cultivation, but also involves adventures to obtain exotic beasts or even blood serums related to the cultivation of ferocious beasts. The path to advancement is also full of thorns.

The former is fraught with danger, and the latter is not something one can easily achieve success in cultivation.

Given the genetic technology possessed by the Tuer tribe, it will be quite difficult for Turkalando to break through the encirclement.

"I have no interest in taking over your position. Once I've finished my work, I'll return the Soul Jade to you, and perhaps even give you an even larger one," Ren Anran said. "You can continue to enjoy the favor of God Tu'er!"

"I don't want to!"

Turkalando replied sullenly.

If she had known that exchanging the Soul Jade would cost her her life, Tulcarando would have risked half her life to get it back.

But now that she's free from all constraints, she clearly has no intention of returning to her previous life.

No matter what, her mother is still the chief of the Tur tribe, and she will not be short of the treatment she is entitled to.

Amidst the noise and commotion, the aircraft began to land.

Ren Anran chose the cave closest to Tutlam City.

Karst caves are natural caves formed by the dissolution and erosion of limestone by flowing water containing carbon dioxide. Over the years, the erosion by flowing water has gradually created relatively large underground spaces.

More than two hundred years ago, this cave was discovered by herders searching for their flocks, and it also produced seven Soul Jade.

However, as time passed and the Tur God continued to consume them, these Soul Jade pieces all turned into ordinary stones.

The two paladins accompanying them were named Turrolanda and Turtunchia, both of whom were Fourth Sequence beings.

This level of strength would be considered average in Western Capital, making it difficult for them to have a voice Western Capital, these two are already considered top-tier experts.

Tuerrolania has an extremely robust physique and is skilled in giant ape fighting techniques.

This is one of the abilities Zhang Xuezhou encountered most during the sequencing phase; it greatly amplifies strength and is appreciated by many, including members of large Lineage.

The reason why people like this ability is mainly because giant apes are genetically similar to humans, there are many people with similar genes, the rejection rate of blood transfusions is low, and the genetic weapons that have been developed are also relatively easy to choose.

The only problem is that there are many people choosing this product, leading to a high price for this type of blood serum due to the limited supply.

Tuerrolandia's strength is limited by its insufficient resources.

Tuerdunqiya excels in the Cloud Deer fighting style, which allows for agile and long-distance attacks. She is also extremely skilled in reconnaissance and other abilities, but her ability in direct combat is only average.

The landing area of the aircraft was not far from the cave. Turdunqiya took the lead and rushed over, quickly clearing away the weeds and thorns at the entrance of the cave with a giant pair of shears that were half a person tall.

"Goddess, that's the Kihar Cave. This place has been abandoned for over a hundred years, and there might be some poisonous insects inside. I'll go and drive them away!"

Tuerruolanya also volunteered, which made Ren Anran nod in agreement.

As long as they possess divine authority, these paladins will defend it fervently, even at the cost of their lives.

This is partly due to the religious customs of the Tuer people, and also related to the fact that these people have been brainwashed by the Spiritual Qi for many years.

After learning about the beliefs of the Tur tribe's holy warriors, Zhang Xuezhou felt it was no wonder that Ren Yisheng had been targeted by the Tur people for decades.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that his relationship with Turkalando was still acceptable, and that he hadn't been targeted.

With the two paladins clearing the area, the entrance to the cave quickly became visible.

The entrance to the cave is not spacious; it's like a long corridor, winding and turning, with no end in sight.

Some water flows slowly out of the cave entrance, while other places have been eroded into deep pools.

Without a guide, one might easily fall into these pools of water.

Tuerruolanya turned on a bright light and let out a series of ghostly screams into the cave. After several seconds, he stopped screaming and mentioned that most of the poisonous insects in the cave had been cleared away.

"Okay, let's go!"

Ren Anran nodded.

While those who have mastered the Sequence Technique are less vulnerable to poisonous insects, the aura emanating from their cultivation of the Realm Technique is enough to frighten and scare away ordinary poisonous insects.

She didn't mind Erruolanya's simple and direct approach and followed him into the cave.

The entrance to the cave is overgrown with weeds and thorns, and some insects also hide there, but the inside of the cave is not a place that living beings would like to live.

The cave lacks sunlight and fresh air.

After walking less than 100 meters, Ren Anran put on a breathing mask.

She gazed at the magnificent underground world illuminated by the lights.

Stalactites hang upside down above the cave, some no more than ten centimeters long, others nearly ten meters long, some milky white, some pale yellow, some yellow and white mixed, densely covering the cave ceiling like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

If any stalactite succumbs to the erosion of flowing water and falls, it will inevitably leave you with little to no intactness.

"Goddess, the searcher has discovered that the Soul Jade originated from that stalactite!"

The group proceeded cautiously until they reached a deep underground altar, where Tuerruolanya pointed upwards.

Ren Anran looked around and saw that the cave ceiling was more than 20 meters away from his feet, with stalactites standing tall, a place that was not accessible to ordinary people.

As she harbored a slight doubt, Tuerrolanya continued excitedly, "The searcher shouted loudly that day, and the Soul Jade fell from above, landing in this pool. Curious, he fished it out and found it to be entirely emerald green, emanating a warm aura. He immediately offered it to my god!"

"Oh!"

"And then their family prospered, and the fortunes have continued to this generation," Tuerruolanya said happily. "If the goddess needs it, I can shout here too, and maybe we can even find some Soul Jade!"

That's a great idea!

Ren Anran had just given a perfunctory nod when Tuerruolanya was overjoyed and began shouting at the stalactite forest above the cave, the echoes reverberating throughout the cave.

"No, shouting in a place like this can easily cause resonance!"

With the help of the lamp in his hand, Zhang Xuezhou felt that a stalactite at the top seemed to sway.

He had just uttered a shout when a crisp sound rang out, and the corroded and loose stalactite collapsed.
